Chapter 400: Returning to school and going their separate ways

June 6th was the day when Mu Zhengguang and Xu met many of their classmates.

Everyone sat down in their original seats tacitly. Those sitting in the middle were still the same people, and the people sitting on the sides remained the same.

Some people took out their phones to take pictures, some took out their phones to record, and some put their phones on the desks.

Mu Zhengguang thought that graduation was graduation. Even though they came to school and sat in the classroom, some school rules and regulations were no longer binding on them.

Before the teacher came into the classroom, the students compared their scores and discussed which school to apply to. After the teacher came in and started talking, the discussion did not stop and the original topic continued.

Is this the last time we have met in this life? The fourth to last time? The third time? The second time? Or even the first to last time? The last time? I don’t know.

Mu Zhengguang thought of what Xu said, "I have grown up and gained your love." Compared with these gains, the opportunity to meet each other did not seem to be a precious thing. Thinking of this, parting did not seem so sad.

Because of meeting Xu, my third year of high school was no longer difficult.

Also because of meeting Xu, the sadness of parting was diluted.

so good.

Mu Zhengguang looked at Xu who was sitting in front of him, feeling deeply fortunate and relieved.

The teacher is talking, and the classmates are talking too. This stop has reached the end. Where will the next stop start and end?

Could it be the nursing major at Baisong University? With my score, there are only a few majors I can get into: nursing, animal science, and plant production. If I have to choose one among the three, I would rather choose plant production.

These majors with low admission scores are all in the Qianwei South District of Baisong University. If Xu is admitted to one of these majors, then they will be in the same school and the same campus. Plant production is plant production. Although I don't like it, I still hope I can get in.

The teacher was talking about the consequences of not obeying the adjustment, and the students next to me were discussing whether to apply for 985. Their scores were higher than mine, and they didn't want to apply for Baisong University.

Mu Zhengguang heard the teacher talk about the first choice of application. He said that he could try his best. One is to apply for 985 or 211, and the other is to apply for the school he likes. No matter what major, the title of 985 or 211 is what he wants. The same principle applies to the school he likes. If he gets in, everyone is happy. If he doesn't get in, he has tried his best.

Mu Zhengguang opened his phone and looked at the score line again.

2021年，白松大学各专业的最低录取分数线从低到高依次是护理学592分、动物科学604分、植物生产类605分、动物医学612分、地质类613分、农业机械化及其自动化626分……

Converting the scores into rankings, Xu was able to get into only the first five majors. The first five majors were all in Qianwei South Campus, and the sixth major was in Nanling Campus.

Mu Zhengguang is not interested in the major of mechanical engineering, but he is more accepting of the name of this major than the other five. He is thinking whether he can make mechanization his first choice major?

Mu Zhengguang sent Xu a message: I want to take agricultural mechanization and automation as my first major at Baisong University.

Xu's first reaction after receiving the news was that Mu Zhengguang was very courageous. You really don't want to go to animal, plant, and nursing majors. But, isn't the admission score for agricultural mechanization and automation too high?

Xu checked the electronic version of Admissions Friend. The agricultural mechanization major is on the Nanling campus and the tuition is normal. She roughly knows the admission score line for this major last year because she originally planned to pursue this major.

This major only accepts four people. Mu Zhengguang wants to apply for this major. If I also apply for this major, the competition will be too fierce. So I should give up this major and find another major with a relatively lower admission score in Nanling Campus. Business administration? Transportation? Industrial design? Materials? Management science and engineering? Energy and power engineering? Vehicle engineering? Bionic science and engineering? Mechanics? Automation?
The admission scores of these majors are not low, so I can't get in just because I want to. So, should I ignore the scores and directly apply for the major? No, that would be too risky.

We still have to look at the admission scores of various majors in 2019 and 2020. For example, for automation, the minimum admission score corresponds to 8730. If you apply for this major, you won't be admitted, so it's better not to apply.

In 2020, the corresponding rankings for the majors of Business Administration and Transportation at Baisong University are 11437, the rankings for the majors of Agricultural Mechanization, Industrial Design, and Energy and Power are all 10506, and the rankings for the majors of Materials and Bionic Science are 10081. Looking up, the difference in rankings is not big, and the admission score line of this year does not seem to have much reference value.

The situation was similar in 2019, with many majors only one point apart. In that year, the rankings of agricultural mechanization, industrial design, and energy and power were all 10506.

In 2019 and 2020, the minimum admission scores for these three majors were the same. In 2021, the three majors have opened up a gap, with agricultural mechanization lagging behind, while the admission score for industrial design is only one point lower than that for energy and power.

Overall, the scores of these three majors are very close. Mu Zhengguang dares to challenge agricultural mechanization, so I can try to impact industrial design and energy power.

Xu edited a message and sent it out.

"I changed my first major to Energy and Power Engineering, also at the Nanling campus. My second major is Industrial Design. Just in case, we added the Plant Production major. Plant Production is a separate major and will take up a separate application. We just happened to have one application space left."

"it is good."

At the podium, the teacher was talking about how to choose a backup school.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu measured the schools they chose according to the standards given by their teacher and came to the same conclusion: it was appropriate to choose Wantong University and Jinshi Normal University as backup options.

The teacher left and the students also dispersed. Some walked out in groups of three or five, while others stayed in the classroom in groups of three or five.

The weather was hot, but the classroom was cool. It wasn't because the air conditioner was too low, but because of a disagreement. Mu Zhengguang couldn't help but think of the last time they met. The atmosphere between the classmates was so harmonious and they were so enthusiastic. But this time, everything changed.

There were more people back in the classroom today than those who went to the dinner party that day, but still not all of them. I heard that a classmate was going to repeat the year and didn't plan to apply for admission, so he was not seen in the classroom today.

Mu Zhengguang knew that classmate. He could usually get 580 points in exams, and he got more than 550 points in the college entrance examination. Can he make up for the lost 20 points by repeating a year? Maybe.

The classroom was not quiet, but the noise was not enough to dispel the indifference. Classmates were still classmates, just not in the same school, and friends were still friends, but there would be few opportunities to meet in the future.

We met because of scores, and we parted because of scores. No, it's not because of scores. Score is just a condition. No matter how people met and parted, it's meaningless to dwell on these issues.

I just hope that my separation from her won’t come so early.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu walked together and walked around the campus before leaving the school gate.

Xu said to him: "No one seems to want to say goodbye. In fact, the time to say goodbye has not come yet. When you want to see someone but don't know when you can see them, that's when you need to say goodbye."

"I know. It's going to be a long, long time before I say goodbye to you."

"This should be."
