Time always flies during student years. After the sports meet, it was as if someone had hit the accelerator, and before they knew it, the final exams were approaching.
After the final exams, they stepped into their senior year.
It was the toughest year that Jennie had ever experienced.
It was as if it was a turning point in fate. That year, she lost her brother and her dreams.
Like a bird with clipped wings, she was destined to never feel the vastness of the sky again.
As the final exams approached, everyone was putting in their best effort to study. The teaching building, which was usually filled with laughter and chatter, became much quieter.
This exam would be the last chance for the class to be reshuffled.
In their senior year, the school decided not to implement the system of moving students between classes to stabilize everyone's emotions.
After school, the two of them walked side by side on the path in the campus as usual. On a June evening, the crimson sun cast fragmented shadows through the camphor tree leaves onto the path.
"Do you feel nervous?" Jennie asked, pursing her lips.
Lisa shook her head. He was a diligent student with a lot of drive, and he had never fallen out of the top ten since entering the elite class, so he had nothing to worry about.
"That's good," Jennie nodded slightly.
There were some unknown small flowers planted on the side of the road, and a light floral fragrance gradually drifted over.
Jennie hesitated for a moment, then pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "I might be going to the music annex next semester."
She was an art student, and this December was the joint exam, so the entire first semester of her senior year would be spent preparing for it.
No. 1 High School and the music annex had a partnership, and all the music students with special talents in the school would go there for training in the next semester.
Lisa's footsteps slowed down, and the hot summer wind stuck to his face. "How long will you be gone?" he asked with a hoarse voice.
Jennie replied, "Almost one semester. I'll be back after the December entrance exam."
The sound of cicadas was long and far away, and Lisa's hand trembled slightly, feeling melancholic. He looked up and saw the lush camphor trees along the path.
Six long months.
When she comes back, even these leaves will have fallen.
Jennie noticed his silence and quickly said, "Six months will pass quickly. If..."
She lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.
Finally, she suppressed her shyness and whispered, "If you miss me, just give me a call."
The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, and the stuffy heat around them seemed to dissipate a bit. Her words carried a hint of ambiguity, causing Lisa's heart to skip a beat.
His ears gradually turned red as he pressed his lips together, suppressing the shallow joy that was rising in his heart. "Um, yes, if, if you," he said.
He shyly lowered his eyes, revealing his bright red ears. After steadying himself, he continued, "If you also... you can also call me."
The last ray of sunset disappeared on the horizon, and the shy look in his eyes was now hidden by the darkness of night. But it couldn't conceal the cautious tone in his words.
