C2 Voluntary
After the college entrance examination, the biggest benefit that it brought Qi Jin was that he could sleep until he woke up naturally.
In Qi Jin's memories, it had been his mother knocking on his door and waking him up for a long time, before his mother and father left for work. Their unit had to take a bus for an hour, so they woke up even earlier than Qi Jin.
Sometimes, Qi Jin was also heartbroken about his parents' hard work. However, he was powerless to change all of these things, and he had thought of letting his parents live a carefree life one day as well. He wouldn't need to be woken up by the sound of a bell, and could sleep until they woke up naturally, feeling satisfied and free.
However, wishes are wishes, and the backbone of reality is to break all wishes.
Eyes wide, he lay on the bed for who knows how long until Qi Jin felt a sharp pain on his back. Then he crawled up, staggered to the bathroom and came out, feeling much better, as if he needed to do something.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the school on his bicycle. When he arrived at the class, he found it empty.
Only after making a phone call did they know that all the students had gone to the Century Photography Hall. Today, the students had booked up the studio.
Graduation photos were only one of them. There were also photos of his friends and others that he couldn't bear to part with. They were all left behind in the photo studio as a last resort.
Thinking back, Qi Jin seemed to remember that when his classmates were comparing the answers on the exam, someone had said something about it. It was just that Qi Jin had been immersed in an unbelievable change and missed out on this notice.
He hurried to the studio.
Wu Yaner stood outside the photographic hall and looked around. When she saw Qi Jin, she happily waved and shouted, "Here!"
Wu Yaner was an apple-faced girl, with a round face and big eyes and round lips, she looked really good. At least on her face, there was not a lack of flesh.
It should be said that this was a mature and slim girl, yet Qi Jin had never felt her beauty. Three years of high school experience, had always been a muddled mess in Qi Jin's heart, leaving behind no unforgettable memories.
Today was a special day. At the very least, they had finally gotten rid of their heavy studies. Finally, it was the eve of the departure of these students who had accompanied them for three years.
The smiling Wu Yaner handed a photo to Qi Jin and said: "This is for you."
"What?"
Qi Jin received the jade photo of Wu Yaner, and then, he saw the words written on the back of the photo: "Departure is always a bit sad and a bit beautiful, but don't be sad, it's for the next reunion; I will silently cheer you on from somewhere on Earth, and forever remember our agreement; one day, we will fulfill it! "Remember to love yourself!"
"Do I have a deal with you?"
Qi Jin thought that Wu Yaner's mental state today was different from before, as though she was waiting for him.
"It's just a sad parting message. No need to take it seriously."
Wu Yaner's expression was very ugly.
He hopped in.
Qi Jin followed closely behind. The photographic hall was more lively, the two and three people were waiting in line, all of them very excited.
Qi Jin was not the least bit interested in these activities. When he arrived, all the students in the class had already arrived and gathered to take a group photo. Qi Jin stood at the corner of the last row, his mouth slightly opened, as if he was a fool.
This was the definition he gave himself later on, but at that time, no one cared about him. The high-spirited students ignored this boy who was not outstanding at all. Even though he was a classmate, he was still pretty much the same as a passerby.
Qi Jin stayed in the photographic hall for less than 20 minutes before he came out. He then looked up at the blue sky, which was a little stuffy.
In his heart, his high school life had ended just like that. He would not follow his mother's wishes and repeat his studies for another year, hoping to be admitted to a first-rate university.
Unrespected, the feeling of being ignored made his heart ache.
turned around to look. It was Wu Yaner, Tian'er was too hot, the tip of her nose was covered in sweat, she shouted: "Qi Jin, where are you going?"
"I'm going home. I haven't had breakfast."
Qi Jin's feelings were extremely complicated.
Many feelings and many words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out even if he wanted to say them out loud.
"Let's go eat together, I'm hungry too."
Turning his head to look at Wu Yaner, Qi Jin said: "You're very strange."
"What?"
Wu Yaner was astonished.
"You and I didn't talk much in the past."
"After graduation, everyone will have to go their separate ways. I …"
Wu Yaner bit her lips and said sorrowfully: "I think it's very hard to forget these classmates.
Qi Jin looked into the distance, to see many people walking on the street, and cars shuttling by, and said: "I think, all of this will soon become the past, it's better to forget it than to reminisce it."
"What did you say?"
It was as if this was the first time Wu Yaner had met him, and the Qi Jin in front of him looked extremely unfamiliar.
"The future is always full of hope. The present is soon going to be the past. It will be drowned by the rolling red dust."
"So many regrets. Are you going to be a philosopher?"
Wu Yaner raised her slender and white neck, as if she wanted to challenge the entire world with her high fighting spirit.
The explanation she wanted did not come to fruition. Qi Jin thought for a while, then said: "What department do you want to enrol in?"
In his heart, just like Wu Yaner's results, he should be applying for the same course.
"I want to go to the police academy. Ever since I was young, I've had a fanatical pursuit for the heroes. The police are the ones who can uphold justice and eradicate evil."
He never thought that the weak and tender Wu Yaner would have such an explosive sense of justice.
"Criminal police …"
Qi Jin stared blankly at the excited Wu Yaner, not knowing what to say.
The police usually had connections with violence, but no matter how Wu Yaner looked at it, it had nothing to do with violence.
Just for a dream?
What if it was wrong to make such a decision for life?
Wouldn't my life be ruined?
"You too."
Wu Yaner sent out an invitation and immediately said: "Unfortunately, your grade might not even reach the police academy."
There was a faint look of contempt in her beautiful round eyes.
As a boy, Qi Jin couldn't stand being looked down upon by girls, especially such beautiful girls.
Impulsively, Qi Jin patted his chest and said, "Who knows, maybe I'm a good person. If the little universe explodes, then my results will change. If I can't pass the exam, I won't be a man anymore. "
"Hee hee …"
Wu Yaner laughed: "It's good that you have a heart of justice, it's okay if you can't pass the examination."
Biting his lips, Qi Jin no longer explained anything. He still felt guilty, and if his results were the same as Wu Yaner's, he still didn't know how to explain it to others.
If his results were good, he wouldn't have cared about what others said.
Wu Yaner was the "Third Elder"
He was a mediocre student. If he was able to pass the examinations, would people suspect that he had cheated?
Qi Jin and Wu Yaner ate lunch together, and after bidding farewell, they returned home.
It was weird, but before the college entrance exam, Qin Xiuping even asked him how he prepared for it, teaching him about the exam's experience, letting him relax in the examination room, etc.
After the college entrance exam, he never asked about this.
It was as if no college entrance exam had taken place.
A week later, the college entrance examination results had come out. Qi Jin had found the truth of the score on the internet and it was exactly the same as Wu Yaner's.
Both had 673 points.
One afternoon, I went to the school and filled out the form in a hurry. I handed it to the teacher and then left.
That night, Wu Yaner who could not find him called him at home: "Qi Jin, you must have cheated, how can you score the same as me?"
"You said I cheated so I cheated? Everything has to be said with evidence. "
Qi Jin, who was already mentally prepared, was calm and completely rebutted.
The landline phone was placed in the living room. His parents, who were still watching television in the living room, looked over curiously.
When Qi Jin put down the phone, Qin Xiuping said: "I heard that you did well in the exam?"
Qin Xiuping was a middle school teacher, and today she had also found Qi Jin's results on the Internet. At that time, she was extremely shocked and could not believe it.
He didn't mention it when he returned home. Now, he finally remembered.
"Yeah, I didn't expect the college entrance exam's results to be so good."
Qi Jin secretly grinned, the trouble from cheating was here.
Although Qin Xiuping did not believe that Qi Jin could perform exceptionally in the exam, she did not allow others to frame his son, and said: "The exam is like this, maybe the exam questions are just because you are good at it, and have the correct answers, it is not strange for you to do so. If others doubt your results, then boldly ask the school, and since the teacher did not find any cheating during the exam, it is your luck, so do not care about the rumors."
"I will do the right thing."
Qi Jin's heart felt a wave of warmth. This was mother, when her son needed support, she would definitely stand by his side.
Father Qi Xuji said from the side: "That's right, for such an important matter, we will definitely support you. Walk your own path and persevere to the end, don't be afraid of others questioning you."
Seeing that both his parents were supporting him, Qi Jin took the opportunity to say, "Mom, Dad, I applied for a place as a volunteer today. My first choice is the Chinese Criminal Police Academy."
"You want to be a cop?"
Qi Xuji frowned, and said: "Being a police officer is extremely tiring, and will be life-threatening at any time."
Qi Jin hid the fact that he had volunteered to be provoked by Wu Yaner. It was an impulsive decision he made, and anxiously said: "Father, as a man, as long as he stands on the world's surface, he will subdue the flying boat and be a central pillar for generations to come."
Qin Xiuping said faintly: "Son, you're so lazy, how can you be a good cop? "It would be better to apply for a major in economics than to become a white-collar worker in the city. If we live a peaceful life, we will have nothing to do with each other."
"Don't worry, mom. I've already made my decision. I have no regrets."
Qi Jin clenched his fists and cheered himself on.
Both of his parents were not optimistic about Qi Jin, so Qi Xuji said: "After you have suffered, you will know how correct our words are."
Although there were some small obstacles in the way of one's volunteering in the examination, Qi Jin still did not change his mind.
At this time, it was no longer because of Wu Yaner's stimulation and enticement, but because he had made a choice for her own life.
This choice made him pay a price that was beyond ordinary. It made his life become resplendent and brilliant beyond compare.
It could be said that the choice he made at the beginning might have been a coincidence, but in Qi Jin's heart, it quickly became a necessity. This was the first step in his life control.
In the end, due to all sorts of encounters, he broke away from the job as a policeman and embarked on the road to becoming a official. The changes in the future were something the current Qi Jin would never be able to think of.
What Qi Jin did not expect was that his family had changed.
The change came from inside his family. One night, Qi Jin heard his parents talking loudly next door. Looking at the time, it was already midnight.
Generally speaking, parents' rest time would not exceed 10 points. During these 10 years, the rest pattern did not change.
The voices next door were vague at first, and it was impossible to tell what their parents were talking about. Only by the discordant voices could one tell that they were quarrelling.
After concentrating his mind, the small piece of wood in front of his chest emitted a warm current that went straight to his ears.
This was the second time that the small piece of wood had shown its might and gave Qi Jin an extraordinary ability.
