In the middle of the school exam, a snow fell in the imperial capital. A few days ago, the last snow had not melted, and a thick layer of white quickly accumulated on the roof and ground.

Over the years, CAFA's school examination content has attracted the attention of art students, providing direction for the next generation of art students to prepare for the examination. Central America emphasizes the design of Tsinghua University, but these two majors are notoriously difficult to test. Many candidates take a year or two... and they may not be able to pass the test.

Rao Shikang Kai, a well-known "star player" in City A, did not dare to go up. When he asked Xu Sheng, he found that it was difficult to test him where to go. ."

"You're really my dad," Kang Kai said, "it's amazing."

There are not many people who dared to take the test for these two majors in the "Three Primary Colors" studio over the years. Because they know it's sad, they don't dare to take the test. Take last year's candidates as an example. That is, there is no CAFA modeling major, at most there is an urban design major.

This year, also met Xu Sheng this year.

Xu Sheng invited Kang Kai to go with him before the exam: "Kao Kao?"

Kang Kai took a few steps back abruptly: "Excuse me, I don't want to be here. The exam questions for these two majors last year were abnormal. After the exam, I must be autistic."

Xu Sheng: "Is it difficult?"

Kang Kai: "It's not difficult, it's perverted." Kang Kai just wanted to get out of the way, "My mother advised me not to touch these two majors."

The several school exams Xu Sheng took were all in hell mode.

Exam question - plastic arts major, sketch: young man, the model covers her mouth with her left hand, her right hand is hidden behind her left elbow, and her lower limbs are retracted and crossed.

...

For the art candidates, the exam questions that year marked an end to their hard work over the past few years.

At the same time, the holiday that did not exist soon passed. The next semester of Linjiang No. 6 Middle School and Senior High School started, so that the students could adjust their mentality. Meng Guowei said on the stage: "Don't be nervous, we just finished another round of review, go home first. Adjust adjustment."

When he spoke, his eyes swept across the stage.

I remembered that Xu Sheng's seat had been empty for over a month.

It is a bit unaccustomed to occasionally stand on the podium and not see the back of the head lying on the table.

Qiu Qiu also always asked: "When will Brother Sheng come back, can you come and save our new issue of Blackboard News."

Tan Kai, who has experience in kindergarten crayon painting: "Hey, do you want me to do it again?"

Qiu Qiu: "..." I'm afraid.

Tan Kai: "Sister Qiu, don't worry, as the saying goes, once you're born and you're familiar with it, I will definitely learn from the experience this time on the blackboard and draw more than the last time... Hey, sister Qiu, where are you going? Don't go."

Qiu Qiu went to the back row and sat in front of Shao Zhan: "Xue Shen, when will my brother Sheng come back, let Tan Kai draw a blackboard to report to our class, isn't it over?"

Tan Kai came over with the exercise book: "Sister, I was offended."

Shao Zhan: "He's been busy with school exams recently, and it is estimated that there is still a week left."

Qiu Qiu said "Oh" in disappointment.

Shao Zhan hoped Xu Sheng would come back sooner than she did.

Occasionally, wanted to have a few words with him between classes, only to realize that the person next to me was not there.

With the pretext of reviewing, I often go to the high school textbooks, and flip through the content that Xu Sheng scribbled on it.

Tan Kai: "Although I miss Brother Sheng very much, I think I'll be able to draw well this time—"

Qiu Qiu turned his head: "You better shut up."

After the school exams were all over, Xu Yaping originally wanted to tell Xu Sheng to go home and take a day off before going to school, but Xu Sheng couldn't take the culture class, so he dragged his suitcase and went straight to the bus back to No. 6 Middle School: "No, I didn't fall asleep on the way back. All the way, you go to the company, I will go directly to the school."

Xu Sheng glanced at the time before getting off the bus. At two o'clock in the afternoon, they should still be in class at this time.

Clicking on Shao Zhan's avatar, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to give him a surprise, and sent a photo taken on the high-speed rail: just got on the high-speed rail.

Boyfriend: How was the test?

S: Okay, the school exam questions are not too difficult.

This made Kang Kai see that he must vomit three liters of blood—you fucking picked two of the most perverted majors to take the exam, and you said it wasn't difficult after the end, and other candidates still have to live.

During class time, the corridor of the senior three teaching building was very quiet. Only the sounds of lectures from various classes gathered together and faintly floated out of the window.

The dust in the classroom of Class 7 was flying, and the blackboard behind Zhou Yuan was densely filled with the steps to solve the problem. After he waited for his classmates to copy it down, he wiped off a piece of it with the blackboard, then turned around and continued to draw: "Let's look at the last big problem, as shown in the picture. In the geometry shown, the EA⊥ plane ABC..."

After Xu Sheng put away his suitcase, he didn't stay in the dormitory any longer. He walked along the corridor to Class 7, and Zhou Yuan's voice became clearer.

When passing other classes, someone unintentionally raised their heads and noticed the figure passing by outside the window, only half of their face and a black earring hidden under the broken hair could be seen.

This is... Xu Sheng?

Xu Sheng didn't go to the front door. He originally wanted to go in through the back door to surprise Zhou Yuan and Shao Zhan, but the back door of Class 7 was closed tightly: "..."

Xu Sheng scratched his hair and could only change his plan.

Shao Zhan copied half of the problem-solving steps, and something blocked the sunlight outside the window. Out of the corner of the window, he caught a glimpse of a hand resting on the window sill—a bandage was wrapped around the knuckle of the index finger of that hand, and his fingers were curled and grasped on the protruding window sill. .

Before anyone could see clearly, he pressed his wrist down, and a figure effortlessly rolled in through the rear window, only a few seconds before and after.

Before Xu Sheng was "conciliatory", it was common for him to climb the wall. Everyone in the classroom was listening to Zhou Yuan's lectures attentively. No one paid attention to the rear window and the little movement from the rear window. Xu Sheng's long legs straddled the desk. When Shao Zhan looked up at him, he put a finger on his lips and mouthed, "Shh."

But in the blink of an eye, Xu Sheng had already stepped off the desk and sat down on the chair.

Xu Sheng put up the textbooks that he hadn't touched in more than a month and said, "I forgot my school uniform. I'm afraid Zhou Yuan will catch me."

He fouled very naturally.

Naturally, as if there was no blank period of more than a month in between.

Shao Zhan was in a trance for a moment.

"Isn't this question very simple," Xu Sheng said when he saw the question Shao Zhan was copying, "You copy this too?"

Shao Zhan never copied such simple questions. For big questions, he only copied the third question. For other questions, at most, write the second solution, which can be solved in three or two lines.

Shao Zhan didn't copy any further, he pulled out the test paper and slapped it on Xu Sheng's table: "What do you think?"

Only then did Xu Sheng see clearly that this test paper was not his. There was no marking or scoring. Two words were written in the candidate's name column: Xu Sheng.

"When you come back, just copy it yourself."

Not only this test paper, but also a stack of test papers on his desk, all of which were mock papers taken when he was away. They were stacked in chronological order, and the problem-solving ideas were clear.

Kang Kai: Have you been to school yet?

Kang Kai: My mother, I take the exam as soon as I go back to school, and it's almost a smear. Fortunately, I tried a few times when your partner gave you supplementary lessons, but I really didn't watch anything during the school exam.

Kang Kai: And the exam papers from the last round of review, which were so high!

Xu Sheng forgot to turn off his phone. Before taking it out and turning it off, he took a picture of his own test paper and sent it over, inadvertently (deliberately) focusing on the problem-solving steps written by Shao Zhan: I also have quite a lot of test papers.

Naturally, Kang Kai didn't miss the obvious little details: ...Damn.

Xu Sheng took out a pen from the belly of the desk and sat in class copying questions after a long absence. Zhou Yuan filled the blackboard and turned around: "I don't know what you all think about this auxiliary line, ah, There are paintings everywhere, I really want to-"

Zhou Yuan stopped when he said this, and saw a person sitting in the empty seat in the back row: "Xu Sheng?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other students in the audience turned their heads: "?"

Hou Jun was shocked: "Brother Sheng? When did you come back?"

Xu Sheng: "Did you miss me? I've been back for a while."

Tan Kai was even more shocked than Hou Jun: "Where did you come from?"

Xu Sheng: "...It's not important."

Zhou Yuan's way of greeting was very special, he threw a piece of chalk directly when he came up.

Xu Sheng: "..."

Zhou Yuan: "It's nothing, I'll just confirm - Shao Zhan, what are you blocking for him?"

This confirmation method is special enough.

The fact that Xu Sheng returned to school inexplicably stimulated the atmosphere of the class. They had been depressed for too long during this time. Tan Kai and the others gathered around like a gust of wind: "Have you finished the exam, what is the art exam like? I heard that you went to the imperial capital... …”

Zhou Yuan didn't stop them, he walked over and asked, "How is it, do you need the teacher to accompany you for another year next year?"

Xu Sheng smiled and said, "No need, thank you teacher, I am very touched that you have this kind of heart."

Sixth Post Bar.

- Xu Sheng is back? ?

- came back. don't know how he did in the exam. just passed their class and saw the school god giving him a lecture.

-Envy, I also want to be at the same table with the school god.

...

After Xu Sheng returned to school, it was no easier than in the studio. He began to make up for cultural classes day and night. Kang Kai said that he was hard-headed and took the exam for the most difficult majors in the two schools, but he was most worried about not being able to get into the small circle. Or the school exam did not pass the culture class.

There is a sentence in the "Guide to the Art Examination": The best cultural score for candidates applying for this school is 420 points or above, and 400 points or less should be reported carefully.

His average score is just over 100 right now, and he can get 120 in math, but English just drags down the score for the multiple exams.

His and Shao Zhan's tutoring modes are reversed. In the past, Shao Zhan rewarded Xu Sheng unilaterally. Now, after he finished a few questions, Xu Sheng listened carefully, and then released the pen from time to time to let him Come over and say: "I didn't understand the sentence just now, what formula?"

"Come closer."

When Shao Zhan approached, Xu Sheng directly tapped his lips: "Mr. Shao, your reward."

Shao Zhan: "That's it?"

Xu Sheng tilted his head and smiled: "You're asking too much, teacher."

After the end of the joint entrance examination, Linjiang No. 6 Middle School's matter about "art students" was temporarily put aside, and no one expected Xu Sheng to get a high score in the test. On the contrary, the leaders of Liyang No. 2 Lieutenant Colonel are full of high spirits every day. Their school's cultural class has sprung up this year, and there are two prodigies, and the art class is as good as in previous years - just waiting for the results of the joint entrance examination.

Director Jiang, who went to Linjiang to participate in the exchange meeting last year, sat in the office leisurely, with his hands folded behind his head, and chatted with another teacher: "The content of this year's school magazine can be conceived in advance. To fully demonstrate the strong strength of our school, the first place is definitely still in our Liyang... Didn't Director Li in charge of art say that this year's art scores are much higher than last year."

"Okay Director Jiang, I'll make arrangements right away."

With such an energetic face, Director Jiang ushered in the day when the results were announced.

"No. 1 in the joint entrance examination is... yes..." The teacher who came to report the letter was at a loss for words.

Director Jiang patted him on the back: "Don't get excited, oh, I think you are just too excited, as for being so happy, what's so exciting, isn't it the first place in the joint entrance exam, I know you are happy, learn from me, calm down Some. Come, tell me now, who is the first student in our school?"

"No, it's not from our school," the teacher said. "It's a student from Linjiang."

Director Jiang's movements froze, and the whole person turned into stone: "...What did you say?"

"Oh, Mr. Meng, what are you excited about?" Gu Yanwang frowned in the office of the dean of Linjiang No. 6 Middle School, "Did Xu Sheng fail the exam again?"

Meng Guowei dashed all the way up. At his age and with such a small stomach, it is not bad to be able to run so fast. At this moment, he can't breathe, so he can only shake his head.

"I just said, what kind of art exam did he take well, when did we take art exams in Linjiang" Gu Yanwang said with a long sigh, unable to regret it, "Lao Meng, I know how you feel now, I It is also very sad, very sad, you calm down, a failure does not mean anything, talk about how much he missed the passing score this time."

Meng Guowei checked the scores. After checking the scores, he was still in the stage of saying bad things. He reluctantly said: "No. 1."

Gu Yanwang was not surprised at all, his heart hurt even more, he said in confusion: "...This, why did you get the last one in the test?"

Meng Guowei's mind was a mess, so he organized the language and said, "Director Gu, it's a positive number."

"First in the city."

"With a total score of 450 in the three subjects, he scored 446."
