Phi-Fic Chapter 268 Review
Chapter 268 Review
Luo Xingguo put his hand on the monkey's shoulder to comfort it.
Let's go for a walk.
The monkey looked up, its eyes red, and exhaled.
"Okay, let's just walk around."
The two walked out of the military compound and into a nearby park.
Luo Xingguo looked at the monkey, who was usually quite talkative, but was silent today.
He was truly heartbroken.
To comfort him, Luo Xingguo said, "An Xin not only rejected you, but also Taozi."
The monkey looked up in surprise.
"What do you mean? Taozi wrote to her too?"
"Didn't you tell me before that you and Taozi both like Anxin? I just asked Anxin, saying that you and Taozi both like her and want to date her, and asked her which of the two of you she likes. She said that you are both her friends, friends for life, and that she has no other feelings for you besides being friends."
"So, she rejected me, and she also rejected Taozi?"
"Yeah! You two are both my buddies. I see you both like An Xin. I asked An Xin for you, so I should ask Tao Zi too! But I didn't expect her to refuse."
The fact that others, like him, could not obtain what they desired and felt the same sense of loss offered him some comfort.
"What kind of person do you think she likes?"
"How would I know."
"I heard that many people are pursuing her!"
Monkey: "Yeah! She's so pretty, so warm, and so talented. I'm sure a lot of people like her. But Taozi and I are pretty good too! We're better than most people in terms of both our personal and family backgrounds. Plus, we have a strong bond. We're classmates! What a pure friendship we have."
"You said it yourself that it's a friendship between classmates, and she didn't deny that friendship."
To appease the monkey, Luo Xingguo accompanied it to play basketball after dinner for several days in a row.
That day, Taozi came specifically to see Luo Xingguo.
"You've been going out with Monkey these past few days without me. What have you two been up to?"
"Monkey is heartbroken, and I'm here to help him heal!"
"Heartbroken? What happened?"
Luo Xingguo then recounted what had happened.
Tao Zi stamped his foot in anger.
"Why are you dragging me into this when the monkey wrote a letter to An Xin confessing his feelings?"
“I saw that Anxin rejected Monkey, and I remembered that Monkey once said that you also liked Anxin, so I thought that helping one is the same as helping two. So I asked Anxin for you as well. Her attitude towards you is the same as her attitude towards Monkey. She is a friend for life and has no other thoughts. We will not mention this matter again and we will be the same as before.”
"How can you help like this? I didn't ask you to ask!"
"I was thinking, since you like her, I'll ask her for you. If I don't ask her, with your personality, you'll never have the courage to ask her in your entire life. Don't you want to know her attitude?"
"But you didn't get any good results in the end!"
"This is still a result. If you knew the result earlier, you should have given up sooner to avoid feeling anxious and it wouldn't have stopped you from pursuing other girls."
"Alright, alright! I've been playing ball with you two and helping you heal your injuries for the past month."
At home, Luo Xingguo treated An Xin as well as ever, and he never mentioned that he liked her again, which relieved An Xin.
Soon, it was 1977.
After the Spring Festival, Su Jinru secretly told An Xin that the college entrance examination might be reinstated this year, and suggested that she take some time out of her work to review for the exam at the end of the year.
Anxin always believed her mother's words without a doubt.
She actually started reviewing her high school material.
That day, she was reading a book in her room after dinner.
Luo Xingguo asked her to go shopping, but An Xin refused.
"I don't want to go out anymore, I'll just stay home and read books."
What book are you reading?
"Xingguo, take out your old high school textbooks and review them too! The college entrance examination may be reinstated this year."
"Where did you get this news about the resumption of the college entrance examination?"
"Don't worry about where I heard this from, just do it. Most people might not know the exact information until two months before the college entrance exam, but I'm telling you more than six months in advance. If you listen to me, you'll be ahead of the game from the start."
Seeing that An Xin was speaking seriously, Luo Xingguo had no doubts.
I'd heard her say before that the college entrance exam might be reinstated, and now that she's confirmed it and is starting to study, it must be true.
In Luo Xingguo's view, this news must have been told to An Xin by his third uncle.
In the eyes of the Luo family, it might be an exaggeration to say that Uncle San was omnipotent, but it was close enough.
Luo Xingguo also dug out his old high school textbooks and notes and started reviewing them.
Luo Xingguo is now a minor leader at the school. If he continues like this, he might eventually become the principal. Before he met An Xin, he would have just drifted along like this.
But now, if An Xin gets into university, he will remain stagnant and will not be able to catch up with her. If he wants to win her over, he has to walk alongside her.
Moreover, if the Luo family could produce a college student, it would be an honor for the grandparents and parents.
The Luo family was a family of military generals, and the grandparents longed for a scholar to emerge from their family.
Luo Xingguo is the youngest grandson of the Luo family and is spoiled by the whole family. They let him not join the army. With such good resources and such good sources of information, if he still doesn't make something of himself, wouldn't he be wasting his family's love for him?
Luo Xingguo not only started reviewing himself, but he also notified two good friends, Monkey and Taozi.
Monkey and Taozi were also skeptical when they heard this.
"Xingguo, where did you hear this news? Is it true?"
"This is inside information, classified, do not spread it outside, just believe it."
"If you don't believe me, just wait for the official announcement from the government before you start reviewing. By then, you'll have already missed the opportunity and lost most of the battle."
"The college entrance examination has been neglected for so many years. When it is suddenly reinstated, many people do not have time to prepare. We, on the other hand, know about it in advance and prepare in advance. What a huge advantage we have. When everyone realizes this a year later, the intensity of the competition will be unimaginable."
"Let me tell you two! If you don't seize this opportunity, you might not get another chance like this. Don't blame me for not giving you advance notice."
Monkey: "Yes! If the college entrance examination is really reinstated, the biggest hope for those educated youth who went to the countryside to return to the city is to take the college entrance examination. For those who have connections to return to the city, most of them are still unemployed. Their only hope for getting a job is to take the college entrance examination."
Taozi: "Even Anxin, a girl who is already doing very well at work, is actively preparing for the exam. How can we men fall behind? We'll study too, and we can learn from each other and discuss what we don't know."
