Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1418 Thoughts
"N University."

Wang Xinyi was still muttering, "Zheng Yifan is also going to take the N University entrance exam, and Anan is also going to take the N University entrance exam. Did they plan this together?"

In the classroom of Grade 11 (5), several girls were still chattering around the letter.

“How could that be?” Wang Xiaoxiao retorted, “They don’t even know each other.”

"Then why do you all apply to the same school?"

"Of course everyone wants to get into a good school," Wang Xiaoxiao said matter-of-factly. "Do you think everyone is like you?"

Wang Xinyi rolled her eyes at her, too lazy to argue.

Ling Mengchu carefully folded the letter and put it back in the envelope. The excitement on her face hadn't completely faded, but she wasn't as flamboyant as before.

Guo Wenwen was still sitting in her seat, lost in thought, no one knew what she was thinking.

There was a book open in front of her, but she couldn't write a single word; her mind was filled with the contents of that letter.

"Making friends through literature"...

Will he really read it? Will he reply?
she does not know.

But then, Anan replied!
So, in addition to her worries, she had one more thing to look forward to.

Geng Xinyu was writing her homework with her head down, the pen scratching on the paper. But she was thinking about something else.

Xiao Lingzi's reaction just now was really strange.

She saw it.

He Shiling paused for a moment when she saw the last two lines of the letter.

Although it was only for a moment, she saw it.

What exactly did those two lines say?
She didn't see it clearly at the time.

But she understood. When "A-Nan" said he wanted to take the entrance exam for N University, it was just a normal wish to go to college. But why did Xiao Lingzi pause for a moment?

She vaguely felt that those two lines of text had a different meaning than the polite words that preceded them.

Could it be that it was written specifically for Xiaolingzi? Xiaolingzi and "Anan" actually know each other?

A sudden thought made her look up at He Shiling's back in the front row.

She was writing something with her head down, her hair, which had just reached her ears, fell quietly over her shoulders, and her profile was softly illuminated by the sunlight.

What is Xiaolingzi hiding in her heart?

she does not know.

But she knew that this matter must be related to the person named "Anan".

Outside the window, the sun was still shining brightly.

The May breeze, carrying the warmth of early summer, drifted through the window and gently caressed everyone's face.

A commotion erupted in the classroom the moment Du Xiaofeng uttered a single sentence.

"Have you heard? Class 16 is also going to establish an English interest group!"

"I've heard about it too!"

"Oh my god, what a surprise!"

"What's going on with Class 16? Why are they learning from us?"

"Teacher Zhao is not the kind of person who blindly imitates others."

The classroom was filled with a cacophony of voices, almost enough to lift the roof off. A group of people huddled together, discussing the sudden news with righteous indignation.

Tang Ji looked at the group of excited classmates in front of him and couldn't help but nudge Ling Chuyang, who was reading a book.

no response.

He poked it again.

Still no response. "Hey—" Tang Ji turned to look at Ling Chuyang, who was staring solemnly at the textbook in front of him, not even lifting his eyelids. "I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

Ling Chuyang didn't even turn her head, just glanced at him, and then looked back at her book.

Tang Ji leaned closer to him and waved his hand in front of his eyes: "Are you reading a book or just spacing out?"

Ling Chuyang pushed his hand away, saying indifferently, "Don't disturb me while I'm reading."

"Can you even concentrate?" Tang Ji asked, disbelieving. "With all this noise outside, how can you possibly concentrate?"

"Instead of discussing these things," Ling Chuyang turned a page in his book, "it's better to focus on doing your best."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ji exaggeratedly took a step back, looking at him with a surprised expression: "Oh my—I love your pretentious look!"

These words made Zhou Yuchen burst into laughter.

He turned around with a smile and looked at the two of them: "I've gotten used to your presence. If we're reassigned to different classes later and you two aren't here... sigh, I'll really miss you."

"What?" Tang Ji raised an eyebrow, then spat out, "What are you talking about? What do you mean we won't be in the class reshuffle? Which class are you planning to be in? You're not going to be classmates with us?"

Zhou Yuchen glanced into the noisy classroom, a hint of emotion in his voice:
"Everyone's talking about how Class 16 is going to start an English interest group. It looks like they're going to go all out against us."

He was stunned for a moment after he said it.

I don’t know when it started, but he has naturally come to regard himself as a member of Class 5.

Looking back now, he had only been in Class 5 for less than three months.

At this moment, he had unconsciously found his sense of security, existence, and belonging in Class 5.

This is something I never felt in my previous class.

"So what?"

Xu Renming pushed up his small black-rimmed glasses and said in a muffled voice, "Class 16 is only in the process of being established, while we have been established for almost three months."

He paused, then glanced at Zhou Yuchen:
"Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you should have confidence in our class monitor. This time, our class monitor got first place in the whole school, not the class monitor of Class 16."

Zhou Yuchen opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Xu Renming snorted at him and turned his head away arrogantly.

Tang Ji couldn't help but laugh, and patted Xu Renming on the shoulder: "Old Xu really knows how to talk! Old Xu has spoken for all of us!"

Xu Renming turned his head to look at Tang Ji, but amidst Tang Ji's laughter, he turned his head away arrogantly.

Previously, his only faith was in his older brother. But after this midterm exam, he gained another person to his faith.

That person is their current class monitor—He Shiling.

She not only kept her word, but also helped everyone improve their midterm exam scores significantly.

Although they are slightly worse than Class 16, their starting point is different from that of Class 16.

More importantly, he scored even better on this final exam than he did last time. This was thanks to the class monitor's sharing during evening self-study and the public sharing of his practice notes.

Moreover, the class monitor never scolded him, unlike his older brother, who would start scolding him as soon as he saw a question he didn't know, after explaining it once.

He admired his older brother, but also felt a sense of awe. As for the class monitor, who was generous and academically excellent, he naturally admired him from the bottom of his heart and trusted him.

He also believes that Class 5 will achieve better results in the final exams.

Ling Chuyang lowered his head, but a smile couldn't be suppressed on his lips.

Yes, it hasn't been that long! So many classmates have been "conquered" by her and are all impressed by her.

He always knew that she was a very, very good, and outstanding person.

He will continue to work hard so that they can still be together when they are divided into classes at the end of the semester.

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly.

The chatter in the classroom continued, but Ling Chuyang's world was quiet.

So quiet that only one thought remained:
Keep working hard and catch up with her.
