Chapter25.1｜ Talent show shouting from the building

Time is a mysterious creature with feet, by the time one realizes, the second mock exam was already a month ago. We have just entered May now. Throughout the May Day holiday, the group silently immersed themselves in the library, each with clear responsibilities. Xu Zhiyi and Meng Yin took turns bringing breakfast for the group, and in the evenings, they would either eat at Yin's or Zhiyi's house, despite the heavy academic workload, life was not bitter.

After the holiday, as if in anticipation of the 30-day countdown, the temperature rose annoyingly high. Starting from noon, the sky turned gloomy, with the air feeling damp and sticky, yet no rain fell. 

Today it was Meng Yin's turn to clean the blackboard. The first class was math, and after the bell rang at the end of class, they discussed a few problems. 

Yin only went to clean the blackboard after everyone in the class had copied the problem-solving methods. The bell for the next class had already rung, luckily there was still time for some eye exercises. The process and steps for solving math problems were inevitably complicated, the blackboard was full, and Yin had chalk dust all over her mouth, with only the top part left to clean. 

Standing at 165 cm tall, even with her arm fully stretched, she couldn't reach the top. Xu Zhiyi returned with a stack of math papers and saw Yin jumping to clean the blackboard. Surprisingly, she looked like a lively little rabbit. 

Walking up to Meng Yin, Xu Zhiyi took the eraser from her hand and handed her the papers, saying, "Help me distribute these papers." 

Meng Yin took the papers, her eyes gleaming with a smile, her ponytail swaying as she went to distribute the papers.

As seasoned seniors in high school, the third-year students knew how to make the most of their time, like catching up on ten minutes of sleep during eye exercises or working on a few more challenging math problems. The youthful interactions between Xu Zhiyi and Meng Yin were closely observed by many, with some silently sighing in their hearts: "The beautiful moments of youth belong to others." 

Lin Xipei quickly snapped many photos, providing real-time updates of their daily lives as the "guiding CP."

Before the third mock exam, FHS took the graduation photos. Xu Zhiyi, the tallest among them, was arranged to be in the last row of boys, separated by a row from Meng Yin. 

The photographer, lacking creativity, shouted "eggplant" as the vibrant youth froze in time, with Zhiyi's gaze fixed on the back of Yin's head. 

While taking the graduation photos, Lin Xipei carried a camera and captured many videos and photos with the group at their classic spots on campus. 

Time swept through the past, but the images will remember it all.

On the evening of the graduation photo shoot, the school gave them a traditional yet unique gift. As the bell for evening self-study rang at 6 o'clock, the twilight was just setting in. Below the teaching building, someone with a megaphone shouted to the top floor, "High school seniors, please put down your homework and come out of the classroom. High school seniors, please put down your homework and come out of the classroom." 

As they stepped out of the classroom, everyone knew what was about to happen – the annual talent show shouting from the building was about to begin.
