Chapter 50

The whole day was spent in exams, and Zhai Da's energy was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, the food at home is the most comforting; when he returned home, Yu Xiaoli was already serving dishes to the dining table, and Lu Wei was setting the bowls and chopsticks.

Wash hands, put down schoolbag, sit at the dining table.

Zhai Da served Ms. Yu a bowl of soup and said: "Received a notice during the day, evening self-study will be extended by half an hour, and morning self-study will be advanced by half an hour. If you two are hungry for dinner in the future, just eat first; I'll just eat the leftovers when I get back."

Yu Xiaoli frowned slightly: "Extended again? Son, are you really planning to study?"

Zhai Da glanced at his mom and thought to himself, otherwise what do you think Lu Wei and I are doing every night? Researching androids?

Yu Xiaoli said seriously: "Actually, if you want, I can go to the school and tell the teacher that you won't participate in evening self-study."

She quite liked the atmosphere recently.

Actually, as the college entrance exam approaches, the difference between those who don't study and those who do will become greater and greater; with this round of new rules, it is estimated that many people will ask for leave from evening self-study.

If parents strongly request it, even the school can only agree; half of those who don't come are hiring tutors or going to cram schools, and the other half might just be helping out with chores at home.

Zhai Da remembered that in the last month of his previous life, there were at least ten fewer people in the classroom, and some even went to work early, taking a month less of a detour.

This included Wu Yue and Fan Junwei; the former was serving dishes at his own family's restaurant, and the latter, he didn't know.

Don't say they don't value their children's studies; for three years, as long as there was any signal that they could study well, the family wouldn't have called them back to serve dishes.

People in small towns are not quite the same as those in big cities; they also value education, but they are not so stubborn.

In this province, there are many people who have no culture but have made money.

Zhai Da originally wanted to shake his head and refuse Yu Xiaoli's suggestion, but then he thought... it seems it's not impossible.

Recently, the textile mill is very idle, and Lu Wei gets off work early; if he comes back early from evening self-study, doing all the tutoring might be more efficient; if he learns a little, he can have at least six hours of free time every day.

"Alright then, you can go to the school when you have time, but I still have to study when I get home... hmm, with Lu Wei."

Yu Xiaoli gave him a look but didn't refute; Zhai Da's study situation was in a Schrödinger state for her.

It seems he is studying, but it also seems he isn't...

After eating and washing the dishes, Zhai Da wiped his hands and looked at Lu Wei's room.

Usually at this time, it was basically calling Lu Wei to be a tutor.

But today, he had other things he wanted to say to Lu Wei.

Time was running out, and Zhai Da decided to change places.

He knocked on Lu Wei's door, and the fragrant tutor seemed to have been prepared, coming out with a notebook already in her arms.

Zhai Da shook his head and said: "Accompany me for a walk?"

Yu Xiaoli, who was watching TV, pricked up her ears.

Lu Wei didn't understand, but still nodded.

Zhai Da took Lu Wei and just went out, but at the end of the corridor, he didn't go down, but chose to go up.

This weird residential building only has four floors, and at the end of the stairs is an iron door, outside of which is the rooftop.

There was nothing on the rooftop; in the beginning, an old man raised pigeons on it, and at that time it stank to high heaven; later, it was stewed by the neighbors, so he didn't raise them anymore.

No one cared about the broken small residential area without property management; a lock that couldn't be closed hung on the door, just to prevent the wind from blowing it open; after Zhai Da entered his rebellious phase in junior high, he would occasionally go up to pretend to be deep, lamenting the suckiness of this world and unable to read the heart of a teenager.

The month after reading "Sanchong Sect" was a disaster area.

If those thoughts were recorded in text, the level of awkwardness would probably surpass the content in 【Joker Love Letter】.

There were no young people in this building, mostly old people; after no one raised pigeons, basically only he would go up.

Zhai Da took Lu Wei to the door, ready to take off the lock that was hanging falsely, but saw a sticky note stuck on it, with words written on it.

"Little Da, Mom loves you."

The sticky note was already a bit dusty.

Zhai Da was first baffled, then suddenly realized.

It should have been posted by Yu Xiaoli when he "fainted in the exam room," and what she was worried about was self-evident.

Zhai Da laughed a little, but also felt a bit warm.

Pulling open the iron door, the view suddenly opened up.

There was wind tonight, and he bumped into the girl behind him.

Lu Wei was too thin and couldn't stand steadily, subconsciously gripping Zhai Da's clothes tightly.

And Zhai Da pulled Lu Wei's hand.

The cold and delicate touch made Zhai Da think of a word.

Soft hands.

Zhai Da looked at the empty rooftop with some emotion; for him who was reborn, the last time he climbed up here was one night when he was dealing with the "tenant business being caught" in his previous life, and it had been four or five years.

At that time, he sat alone on the rooftop for an hour with a beer, witnessing the sunset getting colder and the people becoming distant.

Facts proved that even if you returned to your hometown in a Maybach, if there was no right person waiting, it was meaningless.

Revisiting the old place, it can only be an adult's futile effort.

Zhai Da turned and climbed onto the protruding structure where the stairs were, about 1.5 meters high, and then pulled Lu Wei up, and the two sat side by side.

Lu Wei looked at the thousands of lights in the distance, and for a moment she was also fascinated, thinking in her heart that if she had come up earlier, would she have been able to see the sunset?

Hugging her knees tightly, she rested her chin on them.

Only a girl with long legs and a soft body can do this.

Zhai Da appreciated the legs... and the night view for a while, and said: "You've been a tutor for a few days, how does it feel?"

Lu Wei came back to her senses: "It's quite good, your progress is fast, your memory is strong..."

"Do you think, if I develop in this direction now, can I get into college?"

Lu Wei said firmly: "Definitely can."

"What about a first-tier university?"

"The chance is very high."

"What if it's a key university? Those with numbers in their names."

Lu Wei was a bit more cautious this time: "Need to work harder, and need some luck and performance."

Zhai Da nodded, consistent with his judgment.

Of course, if you consider the chaos in enrollment and mismatch of quotas caused by the first year of the 08 new regulations, this probability can be magnified quite a bit.

"I originally thought, you be my tutor, I pay you..."

Lu Wei immediately said: "I don't want money."

"I know, you are very repulsed by money, thinking money is a dirty thing? This is the most bizarre personality trait I've ever heard of; for a vulgar person like me, it's simply a fantasy."

Lu Wei didn't speak, a 1.7-meter girl curled into a small ball.

Zhai Da leaned back with his hands supporting him: "So I don't plan to give you money now either; I changed my thinking, you tutor me in science, I tutor you in liberal arts, how about that?"

Lu Wei's eyes were full of confusion.

Zhai Da pointed to himself: "My Chinese is still pretty good, especially composition; English is mainly memorizing words, and I have a unique learning method; as long as you assist with some tools, your learning efficiency will be very high."

Lu Wei shook her head: "Me learning these... is useless."

"Learn it, there is no useless knowledge."

"Why? Doesn't this delay your time instead?"

Zhai Da reached out behind Lu Wei's ear.

With a rub of his fingers, an A4 paper folded into a small card appeared in his hand, as if it had been taken out of thin air from behind her ear.

A small magic trick, actually hidden in the wide school uniform sleeve.

Lu Wei was very surprised, but unfortunately, the system still didn't prompt him that "close-up magic" was successful.

Zhai Da curled his lips and placed the small card in Lu Wei's palm.

"Open it and see."

Lu Wei opened it and took a look; it was written "Notice for Compulsory Subject Level Test."

It was exactly what Ding Rong distributed in school today.

She hadn't been exposed to the 08 new regulations, so she was very unfamiliar with these, and there was a lot of content on it, so for a moment she didn't know where to look.

Zhai Da pointed to a line of small print and said: "Look here."

Borrowing the moonlight and light, Lu Wei barely managed to see the content on it.

"Registration and information modification for this exam... deadline is April 15th; for specific information, please log in to the official website of the provincial examination authority to operate..."

But she still didn't understand what this had to do with her.

Zhai Da said sincerely: "You know, the college entrance exam is everyone's right, right? Don't you often see news about university security guards getting into their own school, or a 40-year-old uncle taking the college entrance exam for the 20th time?"

"Coincidentally, this year is the first year of the 08 new regulations, and the authorities anticipated that there might be problems, so all processes related to the college entrance exam, registration, and modification deadlines have been significantly postponed."

In those big eyes that lacked emotion, there were finally ripples.

"Lu Wei, let's take this year's college entrance exam together."

A night wind blew.

The girl's thoughts were messier than the hair in front of her forehead.
