For most people, the time from the end of final exams to the announcement of rankings every term is shrouded in mystery.
Instinctively, they want to have a blast.
But rationally, they are filled with trepidation.
The two emotions intertwine, making up this complex weekend.
Of course, it's not to say that everyone experiences these two feelings at the same time.
For example, Liu Xin feels no apprehension at all; he simply immerses himself in play, engaging in every possible pastime.
Pure indulgence, satisfied only with his fill.
This is actually a strong ability, maximizing happiness.
In contrast, Xu Mengxi was filled with trepidation.
Even on Friday night, when her mother dragged her to sit on the couch and turned on a variety show that didn't require any thought, she was still anxious.
Xu Mengxi knew her mother wanted her to clear her mind and take a rest.
Thus, she had to pretend to enjoy it, faking a laugh whenever her mother did.
This, in turn, was more exhausting.
