Chapter 18: Scumbag: Why Qin Shiqing performed poorly in the previous life
You can't make trouble before the college entrance examination, and Su Zelin has calmed down after getting the prize money. For a period of time in the following classes, he even focused on studying, which was a rare occasion for him.
After all, his scores in other subjects besides English were a bit poor. Even if his English scores were good, he still had to make up for it in order to get into the University in his previous life.
A month is very short, but Su Zelin's direction of study is fixed. He has already make a target for himself.
Of course, he couldn't remember the questions of the college entrance examination from his previous life, but he had some vague impressions of what type of questions were taken. As long as he spent all his energy on such questions, he could get twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, by taking the opportunity to ask Qin Shiqing for advice, he could also reveal some questions to her, and nip the possibility of his childhood sweetheart performing poorly in the college entrance examination in this life in the bud.
So Su Zelin became very active.
"Qin Shiqing, lend me your math notes!"
"Qin Shiqing, how do you solve this physics problem?"
"Qin Shiqing, tell me the idea of this probability problem!"
"..."
Su Zelin's sudden hard work surprised everyone around him.
Although everyone worked hard before the college entrance examination, it was not applicable to a slacker like Su Zelin.
Even though Su Zelin had been around Qin Shiqing since he was a child, he never took the initiative to ask her for advice. Qin Shiqing often forced him to make up lessons.
However, Su Zelin's desire for knowledge now is like selling "100,000 Whys" at home. He is like a curious baby who wants to understand it immediately if he doesn't understand something.
"Su Zelin, did you take the wrong medicine?" Tang Yan was a little uncomfortable with the change of the slacker.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyanzi, can't I study hard and make progress every day?" Su Zelin raised his eyebrows.
"That's not the case, it's just that the style of painting suddenly changed, it's incredible, it's not like you at all." Tang Yan was puzzled.
Ever since that time when this guy made a bet with Qin Shiqing, he seemed like a different person.
"Because I have been enlightened, life has no draft, and the years cannot be wasted. Only when you work hard enough, will you be lucky enough!" Su Zelin said righteously.
"Enlightened? Do you think you are a Super Saiyan?" Tang Yan was very disdainful.
"Xiaoyanzi, you know shit!" Su Zelin was passionate.
"This world will not let down every effort and persistence, and time will not neglect every persistent and brave person!"
"From now on, I, Su, will be the successor of socialism!"
"Building the motherland and realizing the four modernizations, starting with me, everyone is responsible!" Su Zelin clenched his fists.
Xiaoyanzi: "..."
You have said so much, but it is all nonsense, I don't believe you!
*****
The busy and fulfilling days passed day by day, and the pace of the college entrance examination was approaching unknowingly.
In the blink of an eye, it was July, and there were only a few days left before the college entrance examination.
The first and second year of high school are about to have their summer vacation. Before leaving school, Huang Panpan found Su Zelin again.
"Senior, I'm here to cheer you up!" The junior sister came straight to the point and stated her purpose.
"It doesn't matter if you fail the exam, just do your best!"
Damn, can't you say something auspicious?
Su Zelin was speechless.
"Senior, it doesn't matter if you can't get into a good university. Studying can still help you make more money in the future. Anyway, my parents are rich!" Huang Panpan comforted him.
"Your parents are rich, what does it have to do with me?" Su Zelin said unhappily.
"Of course it has something to do with me. I am the only daughter of my parents. Their money will be mine sooner or later, and I am your future wife, so my parents' money will be yours sooner or later!" Huang Panpan said seriously.
What a bullshit logic!
Su Zelin was so angry that he laughed: "Look at what you said, am I the kind of gigolo who relies on women for food? I, Su, am a man of integrity. I have lived so long and have never borrowed money from girls!"
Su Zelin was very depressed.
I didn't expect that "Woo a rich woman, you don't have to work hard anymore" would happen to me.
I am handsome, but I am not a gigolo!
"Sorry, senior, I just want to encourage you and let you relax!" Huang Panpan stuck out her tongue.
Haha, relax your mind.
I was in a good mood when I didn't see you, but now my mind has exploded! You are deliberately making it difficult for me, right?
I feel that this girl is doing it on purpose.
To mess with my mentality, it would be best if I failed the college entrance examination, and then she can support me.
Wishful thinking!
Absolutely impossible!
"Okay, okay, go quickly, don't delay my review!" Su Zelin waved his hand impatiently.
Huang Panpan nodded and said, "Okay, senior, I won't bother you anymore. After you finish the college entrance examination, I will personally visit my future parents-in-law."
Su Zelin: "..."
After seeing Huang Panpan off, Su Zelin returned to the classroom.
"Your little fangirl is really persistent, Su Zelin, why don't you just give in to her? Maybe you won't have to struggle in the future." Tang Yan said half-jokingly.
"Don't worry, my stomach is very good. The doctor said I don't need to be a gigolo! What's the point of using a woman's money? I want to build a big kingdom myself!" Su Zelin slapped his chest.
"Oh, if I can't make it in the future, I'll go to you, Boss Su."
"We are all classmates. As long as I am alive, you will have a bite of food to eat!" Su Zelin is very righteous.
"Boss Su, also consider this little girl in!" Qin Shiqing also turned her head.
"A small temple can't support a big God, so you, a top student from Tsinghua or Peking University, don't need my help." Su Zelin laughed dryly.
At this time, he found that Qin Shiqing's face was not as good as usual, and her voice was a little weak.
"Qin Shiqing, are you okay?" Su Zelin frowned.
"It's okay, just a little cold." Qin Shiqing said lightly.
"The weather did get a little cold last night, but Shiqing is in such good health, how could she catch a cold?" Lu Haoran was puzzled.
"Boys should not ask about girls' affairs!" Tang Yan glared at him, and the honest man quickly shut up.
I just cared about my friend, what did I say wrong?
Su Zelin quickly understood the reason.
Qin Shiqing's relatives came.
Her relatives are very punctual, in the early part of every month, and the date is almost unchanged.
Qin Shiqing mentioned this when she was with him in the previous life.
Some girls don't feel anything when their relatives come, and some girls are in great pain.
Qin Shiqing didn't have excruciating pain, but she had some mild dysmenorrhea. Whenever her relatives came, it had a great impact on her body. For this reason, Su Zelin in his previous life specially found many famous old Chinese medicine doctors to prescribe medicine for her.
At that time, Qin Shiqing's body immunity was much lower than usual, and it was not surprising that she caught a cold last night.
Could it be that her poor performance in the college entrance examination in her previous life was due to her period and this cold?
Not really, it's not like she never had her period and a cold during the exam before, and her performance was still quite stable.
Su Zelin was puzzled. This was an unsolved mystery for him.
At this time, as childhood sweethearts, he still needs to take care of her more.
So Su Zelin said: "Drink more hot water!"
"Heh, man!" Tang Yan sneered: "Su Zelin, can't you take some practical action?"
"Okay, let's do this, Qin Shiqing, you don't have to open water for me in the last two days, I'll do it for you, is that okay?" Su Zelin said impatiently.
"Tsk, what kind of practical action is this!" Tang Yan was still not satisfied.
"What else can I do? How about I help Qin Shiqing see the school doctor and help her take the medicine?"
"Get lost!"
*****
After the get out of class at noon, Su Zelin disappeared.
Tang Yan was furious: "Su Zelin, this bastard, said he was going to help Shiqing get some water, but now he is dead. He said it so beautifully. Lu Haoran, you must not learn from this kind of person!"
Lu Haoran could only nod and nod, feeling very strange.
Although Zelin is a scoundrel, he is still very loyal to his friends. How could he ignore Qin Shiqing at this time?
It was not until they went to the cafeteria to get food that everyone found the answer.
Su Zelin was waiting there for them with a thermos: "Qin Shiqing, this bottle of ginger soup, drink it when you are fine, you must drink it all!"
"Where did you get this thermos and ginger soup?" Tang Yan was very surprised.
Ginger soup is very effective in expelling cold, preventing and treating colds, and relieving dysmenorrhea, but the school conditions do not allow it.
"I borrowed the thermos from Lao Guo in the office. As for the ginger soup, it's not difficult to get it with my friendship with the lady in the cafeteria!" Just after class, Su Zelin ran to borrow the thermos, and then he slipped directly into the cafeteria kitchen and found a cafeteria lady who was cooking, and asked her to help cook this bottle of hot ginger soup.
"Like I said, Zelin is not a man without loyalty!" The truth was clarified, and Lu Haoran gave his good friend a thumbs up.
"I'm sorry, Su Zelin, I wronged you!" Tang Yan also apologized with shame on her face.
Qin Shiqing's cherry lips showed a barely perceptible smile.
She knew Su Zelin as a person. He seemed to be not very good at ordinary times, but he was actually very reliable at critical moments.
I remember that my first menstrual period came early. I was still in the sixth grade at that time and had not received any relevant education.
Qin Shiqing was frightened when she saw the blood on the chair. The adults were not at home. Su Zelin thought she was injured and carried her to a nearby hospital without saying a word.
Later, he realized that he had made a big joke.
Thinking of that embarrassing incident, Qin Shiqing's slightly pale face also turned a little red.
She nodded at Su Zelin: "Thank you!"
"Hey, why are you talking about this? It's a small matter! But then again, fortunately I have great powers, otherwise it would not be easy to get ginger soup in school!" Su Zelin was very proud.
Qin Shiqing was angry and amused.
Are you being modest or taking credit?
Perhaps this bottle of hot ginger soup played a role. Qin Shiqing's complexion was indeed better the next morning, and she was no longer weak when she spoke.
There was only one day left before the college entrance examination. All classes were suspended and students were allowed to study on their own. However, the teachers were on standby in the office, and anyone with questions could ask them at any time.
The first self-study class in the afternoon.
"I have a hunch about what kind of composition questions will be asked in the Chinese language exam this time!" Su Zelin suddenly said something shocking, which attracted the attention of Qin Shiqing and others.
The Chinese language essay in the college entrance examination is worth a total of 60 points, accounting for a high proportion of the score. This is a topic that candidates like to discuss before the exam.
If you can guess the question and prepare well, you can take the lead in the first subject of Chinese.
Tang Yan immediately turned around: "Really, Su Zelin, what do you think the composition topic will be?"
"Didn't the Yangtze River have a flood the year before last? Countless people participated in flood control and disaster relief, and many heroic stories emerged. Later, the country also called on young people to learn from these heroes. Such positive energy has important educational significance and is very likely to appear in this college entrance examination!" Su Zelin turned into an expert and analyzed it in detail.
"The Yangtze River flood happened two years ago. Why didn't they give this topic in the exam last year, but will give in this year?" Lu Haoran expressed doubt.
"Haozi, you are so stupid. If they gave this topic in the exam last year, it would be too easy to guess, so they had to wait a year!" Su Zelin said affirmatively.
Because he had taken the exam before.
Although it has been more than ten years, he still remembers this essay question very clearly, after all, it is related to major current events.
"Makes sense!" Tang Yan nodded in agreement.
"I have read the college entrance examination essays of many provinces. Some of them do have current events questions, and they are generally not the current events of the year. Usually they have to wait a year or two!"
"Xiaoyanzi, you can listen to me, don't forget, I, Su Tiezui, can tell fortunes, I can tell them with just a pinch of my fingers!" Su Zelin smiled slightly, hiding his merits and fame.
Seeing his pretending to be deep, everyone believed him even more.
After all, Su Zelin's grandfather once told him to buy lottery tickets in his dream, and he won the second prize, which is very magical, so his premonition may come true.
"Why don't we look for some sample essays on related topics? It won't take much time anyway." Qin Shiqing hesitated for a while and then made a decision.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll go read a few too, just in case!" Tang Yan and Lu Haoran were both moved and went to find sample essays.
Su Zelin raised a smile.
The first subject of the college entrance examination was Chinese and if they guessed the essay correctly, it will be very helpful for their confidence and subsequent exams.
Qin Shiqing's cold symptoms also eased, and she won't fail this time.
You must do better in the exam, you must go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and stay away from me, a scumbag!
*****
On the eve of the college entrance examination, the school even cancelled the evening self-study, allowing students to arrange their time freely.
Different candidates may have different ways of adjusting their state in preparation for the college entrance examination. Some people will choose to completely relax on the eve of the college entrance examination, stop reviewing their lessons, and let their brains rest well.
For example, Su Zelin let himself have a free time the last night.
That night, he chatted with Lu Haoran casually in the classroom and returned to the dormitory around nine o'clock.
Some students choose to keep pace with their usual schedule. They reviewed when they needed to review, and they studied when they should have. They believe that the best way to maintain their status is to remain unchanged in the face of changes, so that their habitual rhythm will not be interrupted.
Qin Shiqing belongs to this category.
At 9:50 p.m., everyone returned to their dormitory.
The lights in the classroom went out at 10 p.m., and even those who usually stayed until the lights went out before leaving for self-study in the evening came back to their dormitory a little earlier to rest tonight.
The college entrance examination is coming tomorrow, and everyone is a little nervous, except Su Zelin.
He has a good mentality and plans to get into a second-tier university.
The less you expect of yourself, the less pressure you will naturally have.
And he has experienced the college entrance examination once in his previous life, so he is familiar with it.
"Hua La Hua La..."
It suddenly rained heavily outside the window.
The weather in summer changes faster than women.
Su Zelin walked out of the balcony and saw dense raindrops pouring down from the dark sky like the Milky Way. The scenery in the distance was blurred in the rain, like a randomly painted oil painting.
Lightning struck from time to time, thunder rumbled, and it was thrilling.
His brows frowned, and his chest felt a little depressed.
Su Zelin didn't like rain, especially thunderstorm nights.
Ever since that night in his previous life, Qin Shiqing turned and rushed into the rainstorm, every time there was a thunderstorm night, he would feel inexplicably irritable.
I feel that bad things will always happen on such nights.
By the way, I was also killed by thunderstorm nights in my previous life...
After standing blankly on the balcony for several minutes, Su Zelin came back to his senses. Suddenly, his heart jumped a bit, vaguely caught on something, and the clues in his mind gradually became clear.
Qin Shiqing's poor performance in the college entrance examination in his previous life might be related to this thunderstorm!
He looked at his watch, the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock, and the lights in the classroom were off.
Su Zelin picked up a red leaf umbrella without hesitation, ran down the dormitory, and rushed into the rain.
