y, the person had already walked out the door.Lu YaoYao looked at his back in disbelief, how could he be so rude!Gu Ruandong took her face in both his hands, a hint of displeasure in his voice: "Not f...The bus swayed and bounced, especially when it reached each stop. The driver would slam on the brakes, and passengers had to hold onto the handrails tightly.

The male probably had the advantage of height, standing steadily all the way. Even as it got increasingly crowded, he maintained his distance from Tinglan, not getting too close.

His school uniform had a fresh, sun-baked scent, unlike many boys who always smelled of sweat.

When the bus reached Qining High School, most of the students got off. Tinglan and Cheng Chen stood up from their seats and walked out together, but there was no sign of the boy.

So, Tianlan never noticed the boy's appearance.

Zhuo Yu'an walked down the bus with a single shoulder bag, striding toward school. His heart pounded like a drum, his ears were flushed, and the scent of the girl’s hair still lingered in his nostrils. During the bus ride, as it lurched and swayed, the girl's ponytail kept brushing against his lips and chin. He wanted to move back, create some distance, but there were people behind him, it was too crowded.

"Hey, Zhuoyuan!" someone suddenly rushed up behind him and slung an arm around his shoulder.

It was Lu Ku again, and he pushed him away with disdain.

"Don't be so heartless, I'm heartbroken!" Lu Kuo acted as if he were holding his heart with a dramatic whimper.

Zuo Yu'an shivered, quickening his pace to leave him. His pounding heart finally returned to normal.

Lu Kuo turned around and skipped back into the classroom, playfully bumping his classmates' shoulders.

The moment class started today, the whole classroom was hit with a bombshell: a first exam for freshmen would be held this weekend. Students were groaning in despair. They had just entered high school and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath. Was there really any need for such a test so soon

Great pressure.

The homeroom teacher said, “This test is just a way to get everyone back in the groove and officially enter the high school survival mode.”

Only Lu Kuo wasn't worried in the whole class. To him, it didn't matter whether there was an exam or not.

The most nervous person was Tinglan. She failed the middle school entrance exam and got into this key high school at the bottom of the list. This school had been eager to prove itself, and she wanted to redeem herself and show her parents that she could do it. So, the first exam in high school was incredibly important to her.

But proving oneself isn't easy. Qīngníng High School, as the best high school in the city, only accepts students who have excelled through rigorous competition from other middle schools. Everyone here is a top student.

Tinglan has put in the same effort she did during her middle school entrance exams when studying.

While other students took a break during recess, she buried her head in a book;

While other students were napping at their desks, she buried herself in her books;

Walking and reading, eating and reading, very absorbed;

The person at the back table, Lu Kuò, poked Cheng Chén on the back:

"What's up" Cheng Chen turned back and asked with a frown.

Lu Kuo pointed at Ting Lan, then at his own head: “Is there something wrong with her brain”

Why do pretty girls always seem to have a screw loose She's only in high school, why is she stressing so much over a simple test

Cheng Chen glared at him: "You're the one with a problem."

Ting Lan is the kind of person who is particularly serious about everything they do. This personality has both advantages and disadvantages; sometimes, it puts too much pressure on themselves and, because of nervousness, they may perform poorly, just like during the middle school entrance exam.

Her seriousness influenced Cheng Chen to take this exam seriously as well. Even Lu Kuo, who sat behind them, started paying attention in class without falling asleep inexplicably. When it was time for school to let out in the afternoon and he walked with Zhuo Yu'an, Lu Kuo casually mentioned that there was a female bookworm at their front desk, and Zhuo Yu'an stopped.

Steps asked seriously, “Is she not very good at her studies”

"Who Me, Shu Tinglan from the desk in front"

"Mm."

"Her brain isn't very good, just like my little sister. She's always at the bottom of her class. I saw the scores of the new students. But she's a bit better than my sister; she knows she has to work hard. It's just that her brain doesn't work well, so all her effort is wasted, right There aren't so many birds who fly ahead." Lu Kuo kept talking, completely forgetting that the person with a poor brain was the one who couldn't get into Qiming High School, unless they did something like him - using connections to study there.

Zhuo Yu'an coldly asked him, "Did you review for the exam this time"

"Me" Does his life even have the word "review"

"I wrote down the key points for the exam for you. Study hard, don't embarrass yourself." After Zhu Yuyan finished speaking, he rode his bicycle away.

Lu Kuò felt a profound sense of connection to the world, realizing only after leaving his hometown that true brotherhood existed. Back in Beijing, whenever he faced exams, he would cry and beg him for help with highlighting key points, but he always ignored him and looked down upon those who only studied last minute.

Zhuo Yu'an kept his word. The next morning, he went straight to Class 3 and threw his notebook to Lu Kuò before leaving through the back door.

Lu Kuo was ecstatic. After all, he cared about his image and didn't want to be last in the first exam as a new student, that wouldn't look good. Lu Kuo flipped through his notebook, thinking to himself, "A top student is truly a top student. In one night, not only did he list out the important knowledge points, but each point also came with a practice question type. If I master all of these, shouldn't I get first place in the class"

But Lu Kuò wasn't interested in the first one either. He spent two days skimming through most of the question types and estimated that he could pass with a middling score. After finishing, he tossed his notebook to the student sitting in front of him, Cheng Chén.

Don't say

"I'm not sharing with you."

"What"

The Sunflower Scripture.

Cheng Chen flipped it open and exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't expect you to be a top student!"

Lu Kuò said calmly, "That's natural."

"Tinglan, put down the book and come see this notebook."

Because I haven't been in high school for very long, the amount of high school knowledge I have isn't much. This time, the exam will definitely cover topics that connect middle and high school, so in this notebook, I've also highlighted the connecting points.

"However, you didn't write this, did you" Tinglan pointed out incisively.

"How did you know" Lu Kuo wasn't embarrassed by being found out.

"Your handwriting isn't like that." Tinglan had seen Lu Kuo's casual writing style, but the words in the notebook were neat and even, perhaps written carefully stroke by stroke so that Lu Kuo could read them clearly. There wasn't even any connecting of strokes, which showed he had put a lot of effort into it.

But Tinglan only skimmed through it for a bit, she had already reviewed most of the material, so mainly Chenchen was cramming at the last minute.

On Friday, she spent the whole day taking exams. After finishing the exams, Lan felt a little unsure of herself. She thought she might have gotten two questions wrong. While looking through her book for answers, she suddenly remembered that there seemed to be similar question types in Lu Kuai's notebook before. So, she asked Lu Kuai to lend her his notebook for two days to take a look. Lu Kuai generously agreed.

In the lower right corner of the notebook's cover page, it reads: "zhuoyuan" in pinyin.

Is this a name

The owner of this notebook is Zhuo Yuan

But she didn't think much of it, and continued to flip through the pages looking for the answers she wanted. As she flipped, she couldn't help but admire how impressive it was. This exam review covered almost all the knowledge points from the test, and even guessed the types of questions on the exam.

She even suspected that this might be a backdoor deal that the invigilator had arranged for Lu Kuai.

I found the two problems she needed, and sure enough, she got one wrong. Her thought process for solving it was off, and she seemed a little discouraged.e mainly just wanted to make Gu Ruan feel good.Yi Xin smiled politely but her expression didn't reach her eyes, as she said, "The child's mother is on a business trip out of town and won't be back for...
