Chapter 315 Xu Cheng's Suggestions

"Ouch."

"I'm sorry, are you okay?"

When Xu Cheng was going downstairs back to the classroom, he happened to meet the black-haired girl coming out of the teaching and research group.

She was short and hit the boy's chest head-on.

I just felt it was so hard that my head was buzzing after being hit.

"Yes, I'm sorry." The girl looked down at the tip of her shoe nervously, her legs tightly together, and said in a soft voice.

"Yu Yu?"

Xu Cheng called out to her in surprise, "Why don't you look at people when you walk? You're so reckless."

The absent-minded girl finally saw the boy in front of her clearly, and she covered her chest with her hands and let out a breath.

"It's you, Xu Cheng."

"What are you doing in the teaching and research group?" The boy glanced at the door of the teaching and research group.

“…”

Yu Yu lowered his head again as if he had done something wrong, and his two little hands instinctively retracted into his sleeves.

This is a habit that has been developed over the years. He then grabbed the corner of his clothes and pulled them, not daring to speak.

But her actions, compared to the high school girl just now, were more natural and innocent in their cuteness, especially the shy look on her face, which made people want to bully her.

Seeing her like this, Xu Cheng knew that something really happened to her.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask the teacher myself."

The boy pretended to take a few steps towards the teaching and research group, and the girl nervously reached out and grabbed his sleeve, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with pitiful look.

“You, don’t…”

Xu Cheng had an expression that showed he had expected this, "Why don't you tell me then?"

He has some experience on how to pry open the mouth of a small fish.

Yu Yu lowered his eyes and glanced at the classmates passing by on both sides, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xu Cheng quickly understood the girl.

"Don't worry, let's go to the playground for a stroll. It's still early before self-study time anyway."

Without waiting for her consent, he turned around and went downstairs. The girl shrank behind him and followed him timidly, as if she was hidden in his shadow.

The two of them have been accustomed to walking like this for many years. It is difficult for them to walk side by side. She must follow behind him like a little follower.

And the presence is extremely low.

It's strange to say, the girl is obviously tall among high school students, but she is still so petite in front of him.

The days are long in summer and the sky is still azure blue, with a few faint white clouds behind the clear water.

There were two teams of boys playing football on the green field in the playground, and the rest were scattered students running and walking around the track.

However, it is difficult for students to simply enjoy running and walking. They must carry a walkman with them to practice listening, or take a small notebook to memorize knowledge points, which is better than watching short videos to capture fragmented time.

Only then did Xu Cheng and Yu Yu gradually walk side by side.

There were gusts of wind blowing on the playground, ruffling the scattered pale pink peach petals on the ground. The wind also blew across the girl's clothes and black hair, and occasionally a few strands would stick to Xu Cheng's coat.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Arriving in the open environment, Yu Yu felt much more relaxed. “It’s all about beauty and art students.”

"oh."

Xu Cheng understood instantly.

At this stage before the start of senior year, almost everyone will have completely determined the direction of their college entrance examination and begin their next year-long efforts.

In the existing model, students with good enough grades will choose liberal arts or science, while students with slightly inferior grades will choose the path of art students and use art exams to make up for their grades.

Yu Yu is an extremely special case among students.

She started pursuing her dreams very early on, and naturally she was eager to achieve higher attainments in art, so she took the initiative to choose the direction of an art student.

But for a talented student like her, her class teacher would naturally not easily let her take the path of becoming an art student, which is usually the choice of "poor students".

"What did you tell your teacher?"

"...I, I said I would think about it again."

"It's something you need to think about carefully."

The girl pursed her lips and timidly glanced at Xu Cheng beside her. This little action was immediately caught by Xu Cheng.

"Are you curious why I didn't give you any advice?"

Yu Yu neither nodded nor shook her head, her beautiful peach blossom eyes looking at the tip of her shoe with some melancholy.

She didn't answer, but Xu Cheng understood that after knowing each other for so many years, it was easy to see each other's inner thoughts from each other's actions.

"If, I mean if, you become an art student, what are your plans for your senior year?"

"...Hmm?" The girl was like a sleepy little lamb. She rubbed her eyes when she heard Xu Cheng's question, not knowing what he meant.

"Don't you know that art students are arranged differently from us cultural students?"

Xu Cheng looked at the girl helplessly. The words "ignorant" were written all over her face, and "non-aggressive" and "innocent" were interspersed in between the four words.

He immediately realized that Yu Yu probably didn't even understand the concept of an art student, and simply thought that he could continue to develop in the direction of art.

Not to mention Yu Yu, most students are basically like this. Even Xu Cheng only knew that the group of art students in the class had training sessions every morning and evening that they could not be seen. They sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared, and they would find a time to take an art exam. Then some would continue to take the college entrance examination, while others would be admitted inexplicably.

"The class teacher has reasons to advise you. If you choose to be an art student, then your senior year will consume a lot of your time for intensive training. While training, you also have to finish your manuscripts. How can you balance studying ? There will be trade-offs in the process. Can you handle it?"

“…I can, I can take care of it…”, the girl muttered softly.

Xu Cheng sighed, and suddenly put his hand on the girl's shoulder, asking her to turn around like he was fiddling with a chicken.

Eyes met.

The boy's eyes were clear, while the girl's eyes were evasive.

Yu Yu resisted slightly, but couldn't get away, so she turned her head away and looked elsewhere, with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Not everyone is Yu Yu, a master of time management." Xu Cheng said earnestly.

"Master of time management...?"

"Ahem, you have been focusing on both studying and comics since a long time ago, but you have to know that human energy is limited. It is up to you to decide what to do."

“…”

The girl pursed her lips in a daze .

"If he's an art student... then it might be hard for us to meet... Never mind, don't think too much about it. There's a Love Day event this week to visit the elderly. Yu Yu, you can sign up and go too."

"oh."

The girl nodded timidly.

It has been like this since she was a child. Once he asked her to do something, she would dare not refuse.

"It's almost time for evening self-study, let's go back." The boy let go of his hands, turned and walked towards the teaching building.

The corner of his clothes was gently tugged.

He turned around.

The timid girl clenched her fists beside her clothes and took a deep breath.

"Xu, Xu Cheng, what do you think...I should choose..."

The boy just looked at her.

"Why ask me?"

“…”

Why ask him?
