Chapter 94 Summer Vacation Arrives

July is a hot summer.

As the saying goes, you feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, nappy in summer, and unable to wake up in winter.

Therefore, as soon as Xia Yu arrived at school, he was overwhelmed by the heavy knowledge and had to lie on the table to rest.

Then the reprieve lasted until the last day of the semester.

In late July, the sun was scorching outside the classroom, but students inside were all smiling, just because the teacher had just announced that today was the last day of the semester and that summer vacation would begin tomorrow.

"Summer vacation."

Listening to the homeroom teacher, Yoshiyuki Terada, instructing the students on what to pay attention to during the summer vacation, Xia Yu leaned back and cleared his mind.

The summer vacation is neither long nor short, but at least there are four or five weeks of free time. The vacation time is generally around late July to early September.

Unlike China, which has only two semesters, Japan's primary and secondary schools have a three-semester system per academic year.

Usually the spring break is from late March to early April, and the first semester is from April to July; the summer vacation is from late July to early September, and the second semester is from September to December; the winter break is from late December to early January, and the third semester is from January to March.

Now that the final exams are over, it will be summer vacation time after today.

However, the joyful atmosphere did not last long, because after giving the instructions, the teacher brought a thick stack of report cards.

Their final grades are on it.

Looking at the report card that seemed to determine whether they could spend their summer vacation happily, the students below all had sad faces.

As long as you are a student, who wouldn’t be nervous when facing the report card that is about to be issued?

"Takanashi."

"arrive."

"Togashi."

"arrive."

The teacher called out the names, and the students below walked up one by one to receive their report cards.

In this serious atmosphere, occasional sighs and small sounds of joy were heard, and the level of performance affected the hearts of the students present.

"Xia Yu."

"arrive."

Hearing his name, Xia Yu came to his senses and walked up to the podium to receive the transcript.

“It’s still excellent.”

While handing the transcript to Xia Yu, Terada Yoshiyuki smiled slightly.

After hearing this, Xia Yu knew it. He didn't even need to open the paper to see that he would get full marks in every subject.

There is no way, excellent people will always be excellent no matter what.

It’s stable this time!

Even if it is unstable, no one will criticize him, because if he is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry.

Thinking about all sorts of things, Xia Yu walked back to his seat.

When he opened the transcript, it was exactly as he had expected, with full marks in every subject.

"Xia, how did you do on the exam?"

At this moment, Sakura, who was sitting in front of his left seat, turned her head and looked at him curiously.

"Hmm... the results are the same as usual."

"Wow, doesn't that mean they are all full marks again?" Sakura's eyes sparkled, and she seemed a little envious.

That would be great, if only she could get full marks every time.

"What about you?" Xia Yu asked back.

"Hehe, although my grades are not as high as yours, I am quite satisfied with them. As long as my math has not regressed." Sakura smiled. Among all the subjects, her worst performance is in math.

No regression is progress!
"Really? Then congratulations, you got the result you wanted!"

After congratulating Xiaoying, Xia Yu glanced at Li Xiaolang next to him with some amusement.

Because the teacher hadn't called his name yet, Li Xiaolang didn't know his grades. At this moment, Li Xiaolang was extremely nervous, his fists were clenched tightly and his whole body was shaking.

"Are you so scared? It's just a final exam."

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang tilted his head proudly: "I'm not afraid."

"Li Xiaolang." "Here."

Hearing the teacher calling out his name, Li Xiaolang was startled, took a deep breath, stood up with a fearless spirit, then walked forward step by step and reached out to receive his report card.

After getting the transcript, he returned to his seat, took a deep breath to calm himself, then opened it with all his heart and quickly scanned all the grades.

After quickly reading the results of all subjects, Li Xiaolang finally let out the breath he had been holding, and his tense expression relaxed.

"Great, this result is pretty good."

After the tension in his heart relaxed, Li Xiaolang realized that Xia Yu on his right was looking at him with a faint smile on his lips.

"Humph."

With a light snort, Li Xiaolang solemnly put away his report card and said, "I'm not nervous at all. I don't care about my grades at all."

"Yes, Xiao Ming, you are the best."

"Damn it, don't call me Xiao Ming!"

"Okay, Xiao Ming, no problem, Xiao Ming."

Time passed in small joys and lamentations.

After all the report cards were handed over to the students, the teacher gave a few more instructions and announced the holiday.

Summer vacation began with the cheers of students.

After leaving the classroom, the weather outside seemed to be even hotter. The bright sunshine shone on the earth, dyeing the world golden.

Xia Yu walked out of the school gate, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky, feeling a little confused. Summer vacation suddenly came, what should he do?
In the past, the holidays would only last for three or two days at most, and then we would have to go back to school. Now that it’s summer vacation, the minimum duration is one month.

What is he going to do in more than a month?

Looking for friends to hang out with? But who could he find?

After all, he is alone in this world. Although he is free and easy, he sometimes feels lonely.

It seems that the only way to kill time is to play games. Thinking of this, Xia Yu sighed quietly, and his face no longer had the usual optimism.

He took a step forward and walked forward alone.

This was not his way home. It was still early anyway, so he planned to go to the commercial street alone to see what new games were on sale.

After all, the 90s are known as the "golden age" in the history of games.

Even when viewed from the perspective of twenty years later, the games released in this era are considered to be outstanding masterpieces. Some of these games even have a profound impact on the future development of games.

Just like Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", it was released on November 1998, 11. Unfortunately, it is only late July now, and we have to wait about four more months.

But even without Ocarina of Time, the other games are not bad either, so it won’t be boring.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart, and his pace quickened a little.

Meanwhile, not far away.

"Hmm? Tomoyo, what are you looking at?"

At the school gate, Sakura and Tomoyo were preparing to go home together, but Tomoyo suddenly stopped for some reason and looked into the distance.

Sakura followed Tomoyo's gaze and saw Xia Yu leaving alone. Compared with Xia Yu's usual cheerful pace, Xia Yu's back seemed a little lonely this time.

"That's... Xia-san?"

Xiaoying was a little uncertain. In her impression, Xia Yu had never shown this kind of expression before.

"Haha, yes."

Tomoyo suddenly turned around and gave Sakura an apologetic smile: "Sorry, Sakura, I may not be able to accompany you home."

Hearing this, Sakura shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, it's okay, Tomoyo, you don't have to accompany me, I can go home by myself."

Seeing that Sakura didn't seem to be forcing herself, Tomoyo pursed her lips and nodded.

Although she wanted to stay with Xiaoying more, Xia Yu's current condition seemed more worrying.

As a friend, she couldn't just sit there and watch.

"Well...bye Sakura, I'll come visit you during the summer vacation."

"Okay, bye Chise~"

After saying goodbye to Sakura, Tomoyo looked at Xia Yu's lonely figure walking away and started to catch up with him.
