I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

Summer passed and autumn came, winter passed and spring came again, and spring entered summer again. Time was like this. Ever since their mischief at the top of Xiaodong Mountain, it seemed as if the accelerator had been turned on, and a year had passed inadvertently.

Today is the last day of the high school entrance examination. Yi Yang gently closed the cap of his pen and raised his head to look at the ceiling. The big electric fan above his head was turning gently, trying to give this paragraph of time that was neither too long nor too short. The junior high school journey comes to an end.

The third year of junior high school is about to enter the first year of high school. His enrollment age was relatively late among students of his generation. At this time, based on the age of 15 years and 9 months last summer, one year has been added. Strictly speaking, it is 16 years old and less than 17 years old. But if you round it up, it is 17. If you round it up a little, it can be compared with an 18-year-old adult. It's the same thing.

Of course, walking on the street and saying that he is over 18 years old will not be a very outrageous thing in the eyes of strangers, thanks to his image and temperament.

The height has reached 184cm, which makes him one of the tallest people in Qinghe County and even in the entire Jiangnan Province. He has long hands and feet, a healthy body and is superior to others. Thanks to his unremitting exercise, healthy lifestyle, and nutritious diet in this life, his height at this time has even exceeded the height when he was 22 years old in the previous life.

Now I truly believe that nutrition, exercise, and daily routine can really affect height. Laugh, you can still trust what experts say sometimes.

The facial features have fully grown. Yi Yang is not a person who cares about his appearance... In other words, if you have something all the time, you will pay less attention to its existence. Even if he had a bad life in his last life and had a slim temperament, his facial features are still good. At least when he has emotions like "I am not good enough for her" towards a girl, he will not think that his appearance is not good enough for her. .

However, having something like appearance is definitely better than not having it at all.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yi Yang's appearance is not particularly popular... to be precise, he is not that popular among his peers. Of course, it’s related to hairstyle. The era of long and fluttering hair has not completely passed. The non-mainstream spirit of killing people still has a little bit of embers in small towns like this. People still regard bangs that cover the eyes as the essence of coolness. Yi Yang seems too different. He obviously has such a good foundation, but he has a simple crew cut. It's so uncool.

Of course, this didn't stop him from receiving love letters...occasionally there would be text messages from unknown numbers, some pretentious or innocent sentences. Generally speaking, with an external image like Yi Yang's, anyone who dares to confess to him will definitely not be an ugly person, but Yi Yang is not interested in what the person behind the love letter or text message looks like. Over time, there were two legends about him in the school.

First, it is said that the class beauty of every class in this school has written love letters to him.

Second, it is said that there is a reason for his aloofness. He has a girlfriend who is in a long-distance relationship at a junior high school in Hanning City.

The two rumors were naturally laughed off.

As for the gossip about Ye Pingting, whom Yi Yang had a crush on in the first year of junior high school, it became a topic for others for a while, but after some curious people learned about Ye Pingting's appearance, they couldn't help but sigh... How could she be such a girl? ah. From a certain perspective, the reason why Yi Yang received so many confessions may be related to Ye Pingting. It is probably a kind of "she can do it, so can I" mentality.

Of course, when scandals or rumors about you appear in a certain area, it proves one thing from the side, that is, you are not an ordinary person. Whether you are good or bad, you must be a topical figure. Even if he is a diaosi, he must be a unique diaosi.

Yi Yang is naturally the undisputed figure in this junior high school.

And his topicality is reflected in all aspects.

In terms of grades, the most recent exam was the midterm exam this semester. His grades finally broke through to eighth place in the grade.

The further back you go, the harder it is to improve your ranking. There is generally an invisible ceiling for people's performance. That ceiling appears after extreme efforts. It may be the learning environment or IQ. Yi Yang felt that he had almost touched the ceiling of his ranking.

To break through this ranking, it is impossible to change your IQ. If you change to a better learning environment, it may be possible.

Now, he has been in the online class for a year. Although the rankings in the whole grade are still the same, the top thirty students in the online class have completely widened the gap with the students in the non-online class. When we first entered the online class, some students were not very adaptable to the teaching progress and rhythm of the provincial capital No. 1 Middle School, and they even had to pass the online class external exam and win the online class. However, as everyone gradually adapted, after half a semester, the online class The last one can already beat the first non-online class student by more than ten or twenty points.

It's great to be able to get to the top of the exam in such an environment.

fine.

He has a deep understanding of himself. Now his performance is close to his limit, and he must continue to maintain such a learning progress to ensure that he does not fall behind. Learning is like rowing upstream.

If only based on his grades, he would not be able to become a famous figure in the school. Luo Bing is always the first, and Yuan Hua, the second-year middle school boy, is always the second. Whenever there is a prize for learning, the two of them are often the first to get it. As usual, they are the most topical. , but there is no other way. As soon as Yi Yang stands up and has a panoramic view of the mountains and hills, the students next to him are all a head shorter than him. Coupled with his calm temperament and handsome facial features, no one below will care about the ranking... especially It's a girl.

Of course, if you just have good grades, you will only have two opportunities to show your face in one semester, which is far from the level of becoming a "person of the hour". After the second grade of junior high school, he participated in a school basketball game and a literary evening, which were the moments that really made everyone remember his name.

Of course, sports have not been left behind. Although the intensity of physical exercise is not particularly high, it is compared with high-level sports students. Run three times a week and do 100 push-ups, 100 pull-ups, 100 lunges, and 100 sit-ups every other day, no matter what the weather.

Although it is impossible to develop an invincible physique like Saitama with a seemingly ordinary exercise, the changes it brings to people after nearly two years of persistence are very scary.

Nowadays, regardless of speed, running for ten kilometers is easy. If you run at full speed, running 5 kilometers at a pace of 4 minutes or more is also very comfortable. Of course, it is not as good as athletes, but this kind of endurance is completely different from the previous life. Don't. If you take off your shirt, the chest and abdominal muscles that have been built by doing push-ups and pull-ups all year round are not very thick, but the lines are obvious, making boys envious and girls admiring... Of course, these are not what Yi Yang values. Behind the physique The energy and health it contains are what he pursues.

Vocals and guitar are things I have never put down. The academic pressure in junior high school is not too great, and there is enough time to engage in these things. In terms of arts and sports, the advantage of being young is reflected. The receptive ability is better than that of adults. Adults have the advantage of learning. Logical thinking and concentration, while teenagers form muscle memory much faster than adults. Whether you are learning vocal music or playing guitar, it is mainly about cultivating muscle memory.

Nowadays, some popular songs can be sung very easily. They are not much different from some Internet celebrities who sang in the previous life. They can sight-sing, understand music theory, and occasionally listen to niche styles such as classical or blues. Will feel bored like ordinary people... As the saying goes, when you have a hammer, you can always look for the nail. In terms of music appreciation, the hammer... has taken shape.

As for the level of the guitar, it can be used in an ordinary small band. You can quickly hear the chord levels, and you can also play the corresponding chords on the fretboard, probably just to the point of breaking away from the guitar tab. Such a level is nothing in a professional class, but it can be said that it has defeated 99% of "guitar players". In the guitar circle, if some veteran players who have played the piano for five or six years have not gone through systematic sight-singing, It is impossible to learn ear training, and you can be called "master" by some rookies who don't know why.

Of course, sight-singing, ear training and music theory can probably be regarded as the "internal skills" of the guitar. The internal skills are good, but the left- and right-hand skills on the guitar fretboard, such as speed playing, hook and slide string bending... are even used in some fingerstyle guitars. The pattern making, PM, AM, etc. still need to be polished slowly. Generally speaking, guitarists are weak in internal skills and strong in external skills, but with him, the situation is reversed, which is quite interesting.

These things are not deliberately showing off. In fact, the skills are to a certain extent that laymen cannot understand. Taking the piano as an example, for ordinary people, playing "Dream Wedding" and "Destiny" can be considered equally.

Recalling that art performance, their three-piece band has matured a lot. Zhang Bushou’s drum kit has not been put down, and Ning Zhixin’s keyboard has become one of the few outlets for her to vent and relax after her intense studies. All three of them could be said to be familiar with the performance that time.

It was at that time that the golden age band of the three of them became the stars of the school.

For such a small county, after-school life is not rich, and there are no decent clubs. Young people of this age are naturally rebellious and like novel things. Most of the time, they can just join in the fun and seek the atmosphere and have fun. Moreover, their performances are of high quality.

It's the song "The Lonely Warrior".

The popularity of this song lasted for a whole year. As the authorized music was covered by its popular artists, the song stayed on the QQ music rankings. In addition to Xu Song, Xu Liang and Wang Sulong, as well as Jay Chou, who is always in the top three, this song "Lonely Warrior" is the most popular.

With the popularity, the commercial value of this song has also increased. Later, a certain female-male program on Mango TV purchased the copyright of this song and asked a singer favored by the program crew to sing it. Miraculously, the singer made a comeback in the PK... On the talent show, the song selected is very important, and the singer himself is often not qualified to decide what songs to sing.

Coming out of the examination room, Yi Yang received a call from Zhao Qiang.

"Let's go play some ball!"

Yi Yang thought for a while, he was busy reviewing sprints during this period, and it was indeed a long time since he played basketball, so he agreed.

Just as I put down the phone, the ringing started ringing again.

"Brother~"

Zhou Zhou's soft voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yi Yang found it funny. Since they became sworn friends last year, it was those who seemed to be the most obedient on weekdays who cared the most about this "worldly atmosphere." Zhou Zhou called him "big brother" very skillfully. He was quite uncomfortable at first, but over time he got used to it.

"Um."

"The exam is over, why don't we all get together."

Yi Yang said: "Well, it's time to get together. Let's schedule it for tomorrow. I'll make arrangements."

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yang waited for Zhang Bu Shou at the school gate for a while. The little fat man came down slowly.

"What are you doing, so slow..."

"Hehe... I just talked to my eighth sister for a while."

A few of them started "sworn sworn" nonsense, and the names they called each other were very interesting. Not everyone calls themselves brother and sister. We usually call everyone by name when there are outsiders, and call them "Old In response, Zhang Bushou would also call Zhou Zhou "Eight Sisters".

Zhang Bushou has not changed much from a year ago, and even his height cannot be seen to have changed significantly. Not everyone can be like Yi Yang and Zhao Qiang, who suddenly flourished during junior high school. Most people have not even started to develop in their first year of high school. Unfortunately, if Yi Yang remembers correctly, even in high school, Zhang Bushou didn't grow much taller, just over 1.7 meters tall.

Yi Yang stared at Zhang Bushou's rainbow-like eyebrows for a while, then kicked him and said, "You've been staying with Bamei the past few days. You won't be with her anymore, right?"

Zhang Bushou blushed and shook his head: "How could...what are you talking about? It's nothing, I'm not...don't talk nonsense, aren't we sworn sworn friends..."

"How did you do on the exam?"

"Well...just play it normally."

"Come with me to play basketball later."

"Okay."

There is no need to change any clothes, the school uniform itself is the best sportswear.

On the way to the arena, Yi Yang asked, "By the way, how is the pig farm?"

Bird flu was spreading some time ago. Although it has not been confirmed that it will infect pigs, epidemic prevention cannot be lax.

"My dad said you're right. I'm killing viruses every day, so there should be no problem."

Now Zhang Bushou's pig farm is on the right track. This year, he applied for a support loan from the Rural Credit Cooperative and is expanding its scale. Zhang Bushou did not go to a technical school to learn excavators after junior high school like he did in his previous life. Now he is following the steps. Toward the technological "second generation pig".

fine.

When they arrived at the stadium, Qiu Guoran and Zhao Qiang were playing wild ball with several students. After seeing Yi Yang, he called someone off the court and said, "Play for me for a while!" Then he walked towards Yi Yang and Zhang Bushou on the sidelines.

Zhao Qiang is visibly taller and stronger. His frame is already much bigger than many of his peers. This year he started to officially train with Qiu Guoran's father Qiu Shuai. His skin has become much darker and his eyes have become much firmer.

There were still some fluctuations during this period. Although I made up my mind last year due to Yi Yang's encouragement, it still took a lot of effort to actually embark on this path. The resistance mainly came from his parents, and that period was the most painful time for Zhao Qiang. While maintaining his studies, he also used all available time to practice. Fortunately, his attitude and his talent deserved to be rewarded. With Qiu Shuai's help, he even skipped Qinghe No. 1 Middle School and was eliminated by Hanning No. 1. The lieutenant colonel team took a fancy to it and got an interview opportunity. After Yi Yang and Qiu Shuai's explanation, Zhao Qiang's parents finally understood the meaning. It's a pity that the tuition fee of Hanning No. 1 Middle School was so shocking that Zhao Qiang finally gave up the opportunity to go to Hanning No. 1 Middle School, but his parents finally agreed to let their son take this path.

But it doesn't matter. Qiu Shuai is actively contacting some CBA youth teams. He believes that with Zhao Qiang's talent, even if he can't go to No. 1 Middle School, he can still embark on the path of professional youth.

Zhao Qiang urged Yi Yang to change his clothes, and then roped in Zhang Bushou to form a three-person team and began to dominate the field.

During the break, Zhao Qiang drank water and asked Yi Yang: "How did you do in the exam?"

Although Zhao Qiang took the high school entrance examination, his current focus is not on it at all.

Yi Yang sighed slightly: "My performance is a little bit abnormal."

Except for mathematics, there were more or less mistakes that should not have occurred in several other subjects.

Because of the self-study competition, I have roughly formed a competitive thinking mode when doing math problems. Naturally, it is much worse than perverts like Luo Bing. However, when doing regular junior high school problems, I will have a feeling of seeing the essence through the problem. Very thorough.

Zhao Qiang said: "It doesn't matter. The worse you feel, the better you do sometimes."

"hope so."

…

On the way back to the community, I started thinking about the farewell party.

Yi Yang did not go back to his home, but went to the house sold to him by Jiang Lili. Naturally, the contact with Teacher Jiang has not been broken, and I will occasionally call to chat about the current situation. During this period, Jiang Lili came back twice. She was shocked when she saw how tall he looked. Then she chuckled and said, "He looks more and more like a man."

After a change of environment, Jiang Lili's temperament became calmer. She said that compared with Qinghe County, the university is not so simple. There are some bad things that will erode you all the time. Although it is helpless, you have to accept it and Learn to draw nutrients from it and learn to grow. Yi Yang smiled and asked: "Sister, have you grown up?"

"Little devil!" Jiang Lili wanted to hit Yi Yang on the head, but found that he had already raised half of her head, and in the end he could only snort in confusion.

They chatted for a long time that day. Yi Yang and Jiang Lili walked around the county town. Jiang Lili suddenly said: "Yi Yang, where will you study in high school?"

Yi Yang was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Naturally... I still want to enter the headquarters of Hanning No. 1 Middle School. It's not that there is no hope. In fact, the top ten students in each class of Qinghe County junior high school have a great hope of entering a prestigious school in the province. He thought for a while and said, "I still want to go to the provincial capital..."

"Oh, which school have you chosen?"

"The No. 1 Middle School, the High School Affiliated to Hanning Normal University, and the No. 6 Middle School are all going to try their own independent exams."

In this era, there are still many ways to enter these schools. For non-local students like them, taking the independent admissions examination is a very reliable way. I couldn't help but think of Luo Bing. As early as last winter, he had officially received an invitation from Hanning No. 1 Middle School... The reason was that his performance in the math competition went further and he successfully entered the provincial team.

Jiang Lili hesitated to speak, and finally just smiled: "Come on. Hope to see you in Hanning..."

"good."

Yi Yang was lying on the sofa at this time, thinking about tomorrow's party.

In fact, I didn’t think too much about that mess on the top of the mountain last year. Although I was indeed infected by the youthful atmosphere of this group of teenagers and had a moment of enthusiasm, it was more of a game mentality. As an adult, it is indeed difficult to take the matter of "sworn sworn worship" so seriously.

But others are different. In the past year, everyone has taken this matter extremely seriously. Even teenagers like Luo Bing and Ning Zhixin will not treat this matter as a child's play. Perhaps, it's just because they are still young now, and as they grow older, this experience has become a ridiculous past... But the truth of that moment has become even more real in the past year.

Adults look at benefits, teenagers look at feelings. Therefore, it will become increasingly difficult for adults to encounter those exciting moments.

In this sense, growth may equal regression.

He couldn't help but take this matter seriously.

He is also willing to enjoy this youth time that belongs to them just like everyone else... This is an experience that he never had in his previous life.

Yi Yang decided to have a party at home and cook and eat by himself. After making the decision, I called everyone one by one.

The last person to call was Ma Siyu. She agreed and said, "Just in time, I also have something to say to you."

Yi Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yang sat on the sofa, dazed for a while, and then laughed to himself. I have always been reluctant to get into troublesome things. There are some ambitions, such as how much money you can make... There is no limit to how you can make money. You have to wait until you are older, have a broader vision, and progress in your studies. Apart from these things, other things It's all quite... troublesome. It's just that with his temperament, it's quite helpless for a girl to silently like him all the time.

Ma Siyu's changes over the past year are also visible to the naked eye. She has completely transformed from the little girl she once was into a girl with excellent academic performance.

She has no experience of rebirth, so she doesn't have such a strong urge to change herself. For a long time, the only thing that supported her was the love hidden in her heart. But now Yi Yang believes that in addition to the girl's urge to embrace youth, she should also be aware of other benefits of studying...otherwise she would not have been able to persist for so long.

fine.

I tried to persuade her several times about the topic of liking, but the girl still said some nonsense like "I like you is my own business, don't worry about it...", so I just let her go. Of course, he would not be ambiguous with her. Even when communicating with her, Yi Yang would pay great attention to propriety, but would not act too repulsive. She knew his thoughts, and she also knew that she knew that he knew her thoughts. The two sides formed a perfect relationship. There was an interesting tacit understanding.

In Yi Yang's eyes, they are still young, so it is difficult to be attracted to them. Not only Ma Siyu, but also Qiu Guoran and Ning Zhixin, he could more or less feel a little... liking for him.

…

The next day, Yi Yang called Zhang Bushou and Zhao Qiang and asked them to come over and help him. These two guys can cook. Instead of cooking the food themselves to extend their lives, they both cook well, so they should be in charge of the meal this time.

But Fatty and the future basketball player hadn't arrived yet, Ma Siyu arrived first.

Yi Yang invited the person into the room, poured her some water, and then sat down on the sofa with her. Seeing that she looked melancholy and was still thinking about what she wanted to say, he felt funny in his heart and didn't bother her. He turned on the TV and waited silently. She spoke first.

"Yi Yang, don't you say something?"

"Hmm...what show do you like to watch?"

"Humph..." Ma Siyu smiled softly, and the atmosphere relaxed at this moment. It’s often the first sentence that’s hardest to say, but once you say it, it’s not that hard. The two chatted easily, without touching on their favorite topics. They just asked about their plans after graduating from junior high school. Ma Siyu said that her grades were pretty good now, and her uncle had thought of some ways to go. Han Ning found a good high school to study in... Of course, the tuition would be a little more expensive, but Ma Dongxi didn't care.

Looking back on the previous life, Ma Siyu did not pass the high school entrance examination. In this era, it is still a very outrageous thing not to pass the high school entrance examination. There is no rule that those below a certain score can only study in technical secondary schools. But even so, Ma Siyu only went to a vocational and technical school. I studied in school for a few years, and then hurriedly entered the society... What happened next is unclear. In this life, she has at least embarked on a brighter path. She does not have to see the cruelty of this society so early, and she can maintain her enthusiasm for a long time. Yiyang was very happy and sincerely happy for her.

"Yi Yang, let me ask you a question..."

"Um."

"If, I mean if..."

"Um."

"..."

Ma Siyu suddenly stopped talking. Yi Yang looked over strangely. Ma Siyu stared at him, then suddenly came up and pecked him on the face.

Caught off guard.

Yi Yang was stunned for a moment before he realized... She did what Qiu Guo did not do.

"Ahem..." Yi Yang deliberately concealed his embarrassment, "What if..."

"Suddenly I don't want to ask anymore."

Ma Siyu smiled, suddenly took a breath of relief, and his shoulders sank slightly.

Then...cryed.

Yi Yang looked at Ma Siyu and was speechless for a long time.

Pity……

It is always the main theme of youth.

…

By the time everyone arrived one after another, Ma Siyu had already returned to his normal demeanor. Everyone started to help out, Zhao Qiang and Zhang Bushou went to the kitchen to work, Luo Luoyue followed in to help, and the rest of the group chatted together, bursts of laughter continued.

After cooking a few dishes, Zhao Qiang went downstairs to carry a box of beer up. Even though they were junior high school students, everyone hesitated and decided to drink some. After all, we were sworn friends, so it would be unreasonable not to drink some. While drinking beer, we talked about the past, dreams, and future. Luo Bing has confirmed that he will enter Hanning No. 1 Middle School, and Zhao Qiang also has a clear path. As expected, Zhang Bushou, Zhou Zhou and Qiu decided to study in County No. 1 Middle School. The rest, Ning Zhixin, Luo Luoyue, and Yi Yang himself are planning to try out at several prestigious high schools in Hanning City during this holiday... Everyone has a specific direction for their future.

Later, Zhou Zhou was the first to cry again. She knew that this time they were really about to say goodbye. Later, several other girls also started crying, and everyone hugged each other to comfort each other. Yi Yang couldn't bear to see this scene, so he silently took a bottle of beer and walked to the edge of the balcony. The sky was high and the clouds were clear. Many buildings and buildings outside were under construction...

He raised his head suddenly and took a sip of wine.

Junior high school with the theme of youth——

it's over.
