This actor is full of tricks.

Sanjiang No. 3 Middle School is the second-best middle school in Sanjiang City after No. 1 Middle School, and ranks among the top in the entire Jiangdong Province. However, the learning atmosphere is very intense, especially for Lin Jue, who is now in his senior year of high school and has endless classes every day.

The original class time in the afternoon was 2:15, but because we have entered the senior year of high school, the lunch break has been shortened. There is a 45-minute self-study class from 1:30 to 2:15, which is used for students to do practice problems.

Because of the fog, evening self-study was cancelled, so the students cherished this only self-study class of the day.

When Lin Jue arrived at the classroom, although class hadn't started yet, many students had already gotten up from their seats and were buried in thick stacks of books, diligently working on practice problems.

Back in my seat, my deskmate peeked over and whispered, "Hey, Hui-ge, guess what I saw today?"

Lin Jue tidied the books on the table and took out the test paper he was going to go over in the afternoon: "What did you see?"

In his memory, his deskmate was very gossipy and liked to join in the fun, but Lin Jue wasn't too interested in these things. He just wanted to study hard, try to get into a good university, and change his current living situation.

"He's a senior from a few years ago. He's an outstanding graduate of our old class. I heard he's now a graduate student at a prestigious university. He came back today to visit his old classmate, and the two of them are chatting in the office."

"I feel that when we go to self-study later, our teacher will bring him to the classroom to give us a speech."

His deskmate was talking animatedly, but Lin Jue listened with a calm expression, only responding with an "Oh".

"Tsk, you're so boring. This lecture will take at least half a class period, so you don't have to suffer through doing practice problems." My deskmate didn't put much effort into studying. He's a restless person, and sitting around doing practice problems is pure torture for him.

Lin Jue remained uninterested and buried his head in his work.

At 1:30, the homeroom teacher arrived as scheduled. Lin Jue looked up from his sea of ​​questions when he heard the noise. Behind the familiar homeroom teacher was an unfamiliar young man.

He looked to be around 25 or 26 years old, dressed in sportswear and sneakers. He was tall and had a sunny disposition, making a very comfortable first impression.

“So familiar… I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before…” Lin Jue was stunned. The moment he saw this young man, the feeling he had when he saw Zhou Yue before welled up in his heart.

He felt like he had seen this person somewhere before, but all the memories in his mind told him that this was the first time he had met this young man.

"Class, stop for a moment." The homeroom teacher led the young man to the podium, clapped his hands to attract the students' attention, and when everyone's eyes were focused on the podium, he smiled and said, "Today I'd like to introduce someone to you. He's a student I taught before, your senior."

"He's a top student in the math department now. You only have a month left until the college entrance exam. I've invited him over to give you a lecture, share some study tips, and also talk about university life and what you should do after you get into university."

A round of enthusiastic applause filled the classroom. The homeroom teacher made room for the young man, and once the applause subsided, he introduced himself: "Dear juniors, my name is Li Ge. I'm seven years ahead of you, so you can call me Senior Brother Li..."

Li Ge?

Lin Jue didn't listen to what the other person was saying next. A splitting pain shot through his head, and he heard a crackling sound in his ears. It felt like something deep inside his mind was about to burst open.

The name was also very familiar to him.

He picked up a pen and wrote the two characters "Li Ge" on the paper.

He only heard the sound of the name, but he felt that the name should not be misspelled. At the same time, Li Ge on the podium picked up the chalk and wrote his name on the blackboard.

The name matched Lin Jue's name perfectly on the paper.

"Even though it was the first time we met, and the first time I heard this name, I was able to write it down very familiarly and correctly. Is it because Li is a common surname, and the character with the pronunciation 'ge' is rarely used as a given name?"

Lin Jue wasn't quite sure, but those two words just came to mind naturally, as if something was driving him. He then wrote Zhou Yue after Li Ge's name.

The four words were like a whirlpool, deeply attracting Lin Jue's gaze. His head felt like it was about to be split in two, one half belonging to himself and the other half to that daydream he couldn't remember.

"Alright, everyone, the college entrance examination is just around the corner. I wish you all the best of luck, may you achieve great things and pass the exam with flying colors."

Li Ge's voice, accompanied by enthusiastic applause, gradually brought Lin Jue back to his senses. The minute hand on the wall had already passed four large marks, meaning that twenty minutes had passed.

Has this spacing out really lasted this long?

Lin Jue closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again, shaking off the unrealistic and wild thoughts in his mind.

"This is my phone number. If any of you juniors have any questions in the future, you can ask me on the phone."

Li Ge wrote a phone number on the blackboard, and Lin Jue wrote the phone number on a sticky note, folded it, and put it in his pocket.

One student, caught off guard, took out his phone to take a picture of the call, but the smiling homeroom teacher confiscated it and dragged him to the office by the ear.

After Li Ge left, the self-study period continued. Lin Jue looked at the test paper in front of him, but he had no interest in doing the questions. He listened to the afternoon classes in a daze, and as soon as the school bell rang, he hurriedly put on his schoolbag and left.

"Where are you going, Hui-ge? Why are you in such a hurry? Play a couple of balls before you go." His classmate called out from behind.

"No, I have to go find a part-time job. I'm almost out of living expenses." Lin Jue walked out of the classroom without looking back.

As soon as he stepped out of the teaching building, he saw Li Ge coming out of the first-floor restroom. It turned out that Li Ge hadn't left the school yet.

"Senior Li Ge," Lin Jue hurriedly called out to him.

Li Ge stopped and looked back at Lin Jue with a puzzled expression: "Junior, is there something you need?"

Lin Jue looked at the other person. He originally wanted to ask if he had seen him somewhere before, but seeing that the other person's expression clearly did not recognize him, he changed the words he was about to say: "Senior Li Ge, I want to ask, can studying really change the current situation?"

Upon hearing this question, Li Ge was taken aback. He carefully examined Lin Jue. The junior in front of him was very thin, like a bamboo pole, as if a gust of wind could break it. His hair was messy and long, dry and slightly yellowish, which was obviously due to malnutrition.

The school uniform he was wearing was washed until it was almost white, and the blue parts were faded, which clearly indicated that this junior's family was not well-off.

With just one glance, Li Ge could tell what Lin Jue's living conditions were like.

“Of course.” Li Ge patted Lin Jue on the shoulder: “Studying is the simplest way out for students, and it is also an opportunity for many people to change their destiny. I have already received offers from many big companies, and the salary for my graduation internship alone is 10,000 yuan.”

Ten thousand...

This was an astronomical figure for Lin Jue. His lifeless heart began to beat slightly again because of this number, and a ray of light seemed to have appeared in his dull and boring life.

"Study hard, the exam is coming up soon. Don't think about anything else, just focus on your studies," Li Ge encouraged him, adding that he could call if he had any questions, before leaving.

Watching the other person's retreating figure, Lin Jue suppressed the strange sense of familiarity he felt. There was only one month left until the exams, only one month left before he could begin his new life. (End of Chapter)
