Chapter 496 The Restlessness Before the College Entrance Exam
Huo Beichen almost fainted again!
He forced himself to stand up and held Ning Meng's hand directly. Even though he told himself that there could be no ghosts in this world, the panic still occupied his heart at that moment.
"Master, are you awake?"
Ning Meng exclaimed, and Grandma Huang also turned around. When she saw Huo Beichen, she immediately smiled and said, "Why are you so faint, kid? Miss Ning Meng said you didn't eat dinner and have low blood sugar. Come on, drink."
Just drink this bowl of snow water and you’ll be fine..."
Grandma Huang's family is quite superstitious. They took the water from the first snow, filtered it several times, and added some brown sugar. In the winter, they drank some brown sugar water to warm themselves.
But this has changed for Huo Beichen...
Blood??
Huo Beichen was even more dizzy. He looked into the cup fearfully and saw a bright red color!
Huo Beichen:!!!!
He almost pushed the bowl to the ground. At the critical moment, Ning Meng covered his hand: "Yes, this is brown sugar water!"
Huo Beichen:??
Only then did Huo Beichen come to his senses. He looked at Grandma Huang again and was pinched several times by Ning Meng on his arm, which also made him wake up more and more.
Ning Meng smiled and said: "We are passing by here today, and Lord Chen just asked me to come and see you. Since you are fine, let me drink this bowl of brown sugar water and we will leave!~"
Grandma Huang smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay."
Huo Beichen hadn't come to his senses yet. He was pinched so hard by Ning Meng several times. He finally came to his senses and took a deep breath.
After drinking a bowl of steaming brown sugar water, I feel more awake.
Just thinking that he had made a fool of himself in front of Ning Meng made him feel a little embarrassed. He kept silent for the rest of the time and looked ugly.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Huang, Huo Beichen walked ahead angrily. He always felt that if he walked a little slower, the woman would laugh at him.
He almost staggered out of the alley, and then he heard the woman behind him shout: "Hey, why are you walking so fast? Are you showing off your long legs?"
"Master Chen, Brother Chen? Please walk slower, I'm afraid!"
Scared!
This woman was definitely mocking him on purpose!
Chen Ye was very angry and sped up even more.
Ning Meng put her hands in the shape of trumpets to her mouth and spoke to Huo Beichen: "Master Chen, please slow down. What if a spider spirit suddenly appears at the corner in front?"
"Oops, did you hear footsteps chasing you behind you?"
"…………"
She babbled a lot, saying that she must not miss the taunting opportunity she finally got, and then she saw Huo Beichen walking faster and faster, disappearing around the corner in front of her.
Ning Meng:??
She quickened her pace and walked over. Just when she was about to look for someone, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the corner and rushed towards her!
"Ouch!"
The sudden screams added a bit of terror.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Ning Meng was startled, yelled and jumped twice on the spot, covered her head and hid back. After jumping a few steps, she heard the mocking laughter of "Hahaha".
Ning Meng:???
She took a closer look and saw Huo Beichen standing in front of her.
The boy was still wearing his school uniform, with one hand in his pocket and the other pointing at her, with a particularly cheerful smile on his face.
Ning Meng:…………!
This is the first time she has seen Mr. Chen so childish!
She stamped her feet angrily, then chased Huo Beichen and shouted, "Stop!"
When Huo Beichen saw her chasing him, he subconsciously ran away and ran in the direction of the car...

The two of them laughed and scolded and returned to the villa. When they entered the door, Ning Meng spoke: "There is nothing wrong with Grandma Huang. Huang Cheng lied when he said that Grandma was dead. But he
Why did you lie and not go to class?"
Huo Beichen also frowned.
Seeing him like this, Ning Meng patted his shoulder again, "It's okay. You go to class tomorrow and I'll go see him!"
For such a big event as my grandma's death, I would definitely not take just one day off. In other words, Huang Chenghui would still skip class tomorrow.
Huo Beichen could only nod.
Early the next morning, Ning Meng, Ning Ke, and Huo Beichen went out together. The two came to the school. Ning Meng went to the small bungalow next to the school, found the Huang family, and watched from a distance.
Huang Cheng went out on time as expected. Song Meilan sent him out and said to Huang Cheng: "Go home on time in the evening and make your favorite vegetarian meatballs!"
"OK."
Huang Cheng waved his hand and then jogged for two steps. After turning a few corners and losing sight of Song Meilan behind him, Huang Cheng stopped and ran in the other direction.
Ning Meng followed him quietly.
In fact, she has no right to control what Huang Cheng does. After all, she is only three years older than Huang Cheng. But after all, she has given Huang Cheng so many math classes and watched his grades steadily rise.
, Ning Meng didn’t want to see him go astray.
If he was doing business, then she could ignore it, but if it was...
Huang Cheng turned several corners and finally came to a small river. He walked back and forth around the river. From time to time, he would stop and look into the river once or twice. Finally, he found a place and sat silently.
Got down and sighed.
Ning Meng:???
What is this person doing?
Skipping class just to catch the river breeze?
And looking at his appearance, he was also very decadent, with his head lowered, shoulders slumped, and he looked weak.
Ning Meng:…………
After observing like this for two hours, seeing that Huang Cheng still didn't show any sign of leaving, Ning Meng had no choice but to take two steps forward, pretending to pass by by chance, and coughed.
Huang Cheng raised his head, and after seeing Ning Meng, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He stood up in confusion.
Ning Meng asked: "Why are you here during class time?"
Huang Cheng was a little panicked and racked his brains to answer: "I, I have something to do around here!"
"What's up?"
Huang Cheng scratched his head: "That's it. My mother asked me to buy some review books."
Ning Meng looked at him and smiled: "Oh, the biggest library is right in front of the school. You came here to buy books?"
Huang Cheng continued to lie, making it even more outrageous: "I'm not buying review materials, what I'm buying is, yes, a novel!"
Ning Meng stared at him and continued to laugh.
Huang Cheng was so confused by her smile that he couldn't continue. Finally, he lowered his head and sighed: "Okay, I tell you it's okay, but don't tell my mother. I skipped class."
Seeing that he was willing to talk, Ning Meng walked over and sat next to him, "Huang Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Cheng lowered his head, "I don't know, I just feel like I can't breathe."
He raised his head, his eyes a little red: "Cousin, do you know? During the winter vacation, my mother was very strict with me, and I worked hard enough, but for some reason, I failed in the exam at the beginning of school.
Especially in mathematics, they passed all the questions you taught me, but I know how to do it, but I just can’t do it..."
"My mother is very kind to me every day. She prepares breakfast for me. If she is afraid that the lunch at school is not good, she will also bring me lunch. She is even more considerate in the evening. Do you know? She actually has a job, but for
This year, in her senior year of high school, she quit her job just to focus on being with me."
"The more I think about this, the more I feel sorry for my mother. I have been studying very hard, but really, I just can't learn..."
As he spoke, his eyes were red. He pressed his eyes hard with both hands and spoke in a choked voice: "Cousin, I don't understand. Is the college entrance examination really the only way out?
?”
"Am I guilty if I don't do well in studies or exams?"
At the end of his sentence, his voice was choked with sobs.
Ning Meng looked at him, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to him.
Huang Cheng took it, wiped his tears and nose, and continued to cry.
Ning Meng:…………
She was actually a little confused. She didn't expect that such a cheerful boy like Huang Cheng would suddenly skip school because of too much pressure!
And she is not good at persuading people at all!
She could only sit there and accompany Huang Cheng: "Actually, your mother also does it for your own good..."
Huang Cheng nodded: "I know, so I am even more stressed, especially since my family is not rich to begin with, but my mother still spent a lot of money to hire a tutor for me, so I am even more stressed."
Ning Meng:...Well, she is the tutor who spends a lot of money.
Huang Cheng continued talking for a long time, and at the end, Ning Meng could only cough: "Well, or I won't charge you for tutoring in the future? Stop crying?"
Huang Cheng:…………
Can stress problems be solved without charging money?
Huang Cheng lowered his head and continued to cry.
Ning Meng saw that he was a big boy crying so girlishly, so she felt cruel and grabbed his arm: "Follow me."
Huang Cheng didn't know what she was going to do, but he still stood up and followed her forward.
The two of them came directly to a dancing machine. Ning Meng bought coins, threw them in, and said to Huang Cheng: "Come on, dance to your heart's content!"
Huang Cheng:…………
He thought Ning Meng was childish, but this dancing machine was really fun, especially when he looked at the screen, he started dancing along unconsciously.
The two of them danced for a full two hours. By the end, Huang Cheng was covered in sweat and soaked to the skin. He was so tired that he sat down next to him, panting heavily.
Ning Meng then walked to the side and bought two bottles of water, handed him one, then sat down next to him and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
When people are depressed, exercise can relieve stress.
Huang Cheng raised his head and took a sip of water, then said: "Shutan! I feel much more comfortable all over! Cousin, I didn't expect that even though you are old, you can dance well."
Ning Meng:?
Who is so old!!
Forget it, don't worry about it like a brat.
Ning Meng took a deep breath to suppress her dissatisfaction, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, the college entrance examination is a stage that everyone must go through. I don't mean that you must be very good in the college entrance examination. I
What I want to tell you is that you are taking the exam for yourself."
"How many points you get in the exam, what school you go to in the future, and how you live after graduation are all for yourself, so as long as you can do it with a clear conscience and work hard, then I think the final result will be whatever it is.
, your mother will not be disappointed!"
Huang Cheng was thoughtful when he heard this.
Ning Meng moved his shoulders: "My experience is actually more complicated than yours. When I was in high school, I had the intention of dropping out of school."
Huang Cheng was stunned: "Why?"
Ning Meng shrugged: "I am an orphan. After I turn 18 and become an adult, the orphanage will no longer be responsible for my expenses. Graduating from high school and working can make my life easier, but I still chose to go to college.
, even if you have to work part-time to earn tuition and living expenses while studying, it will be very tiring, but if you graduate from college, you will look back..."
"Let's not talk about what I learned in college. It's just that the process of college is a kind of life experience for me. I'm glad that I worked hard enough that I don't regret it now. When you get to my age, you will be grateful for your hard work.
of myself.”
Ning Meng's words were not very profound, they were just some plain talk, but to Huang Cheng's ears, it was like being awakened by someone's head-on blow.
yes.
He works hard for himself, not for others.
Maybe it was because he had exercised and his knot had been resolved, or maybe he had really figured it out, and Huang Cheng suddenly became enlightened at this moment.
He rolled up from lying on the ground, "Cousin, I understand!"
He looked at the time and found that it was already noon, and then ran out quickly: "I'll go to class first, and I can still make it in time for the first math class in the afternoon!"
Ning Meng nodded.
Ning Meng didn't know whether Huang Cheng told Song Meilan that he lied and skipped class for a day and a half. She only knew that everyone in the senior high school class in the school worked harder in the last six months.
In their most beautiful flower season and rainy season, they are floating in the sea.
During this period, there may have been confusion, rebellion, and many people even contemplated dropping out of school, but this group of people gritted their teeth and persevered.
On this day, 99 days before the college entrance examination, she decided to cut her hair short on her own initiative. She said: "It is a waste of time to wash and dry your hair."
She has been oppressed by her father for eighteen years, and she really wants to get ahead and leave this place.
But when I went to school, I was ridiculed by Su Ye: "Isn't your hair too short? You look like a man!"
After returning home, she was still a little aggrieved by mentioning the matter. She touched her hair and felt a little distressed: "Sister, did I cut it badly?"
Ning Meng couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't listen to Su Ye. Can the length of your hair change your gender? Besides, your hair grows very fast. It will grow long after you finish the college entrance examination!"
I would rather still sigh.
Ning Meng was about to ask when Huo Beichen next to her spoke up: "Su Ye's words are not the most hurtful. The most hurtful thing is that Huang Cheng came into the classroom and saw her eyes were red and said something else."
Ning Meng: "What did you say?"
Huo Beichen glanced at Ning Ke lightly and said, "Tell me, damn, which class of students in this class are crying like a bitch?"
