I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 18 What are you mumbling about? Are you interested in me?
Chen Zhou shrugged, feigning helplessness, and sighed:
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's best to focus on studying math in one go. Class monitor, I won't say any more, I'm going home now!"

Lin Xiaomeng waved her hand weakly:

Goodbye, Chen Zhou...

Chen Zhou, with his schoolbag slung over one shoulder, hummed a little tune and left the classroom with a smug look on his face, completely ignoring Lin Xiaomeng's resentful gaze.

Lin Xiaomeng watched Chen Zhou's departing figure, then looked at the afternoon practice test paper in front of her, her eyes vacant.

"wrong……"

Lin Xiaomeng suddenly clenched her teeth, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes:

"He definitely has some secrets he hasn't revealed yet! With Chen Zhou's lazy nature, how could he possibly settle down and watch a whole bunch of videos?"

Lin Xiaomeng refused to believe it.

Seemingly having made up her mind, she looked at the empty classroom and tiptoed to Chen Zhou's seat—

He carefully took out the diary.

Lin Xiaomeng's fingertips traced back and forth on the cover of the diary, an indescribable premonition growing in her heart.

She was convinced that the secret to Chen Zhou's improved math scores lay hidden in this seemingly ordinary diary.

This premonition burned like a fire in her heart, causing a burning sensation in her throat, making her eager to find out what was going on.

Finally, Lin Xiaomeng took a deep breath and slowly opened her diary.

The yellowed pages turned softly between her fingers, making a faint sound.

Looking at the neat handwriting in the diary, Lin Xiaomeng couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"I didn't expect this guy to have such good handwriting."

Soon, the diary turned to the latest page.

The word "mathematics" immediately caught Lin Xiaomeng's eye, and her heart began to race.

However, when the words "airplane learning method" came into her view, her smile froze instantly, and she stood frozen in place.

How to do?
She suddenly had a feeling that because she was reading too fast, by the time she realized what she had read, it was already too late.

Lin Xiaomeng's face instantly turned bright red, her pale cheeks like shaved ice soaked in plum wine, even her delicate earlobes glowed with a coral hue.

Although Lin Xiaomeng is usually naive, she still understands what this means.

At this moment, Lin Xiaomeng's heart was in turmoil.

She was shocked that the boy had such a unique learning method, and couldn't help but shout in her heart:

You guys have such useful study methods? Why didn't you tell me sooner?
But then I thought, even if I had known this beforehand, I wouldn't have been able to use this method, since our physiological structures are different.

Thinking about this, a strong sense of injustice welled up in my heart.

Unfair, so unfair!
Lin Xiaomeng stared intently at the words in the diary: "Just do half an hour of reviewing wrong questions every day, and then do one more before bed, and your grades will improve." Her heart was filled with envy.

If she can improve her math score in just half an hour a day, then the remaining time is enough for her to improve her other five subjects as well.

By then, let alone 211 universities, even 985 universities will not be out of reach.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaomeng remembered some topics that her deskmate Liu Xiaoxiao had shared with her, and her face became even redder.

and many more……

Girls seem to use similar methods as well.

What should we do? Should we give it a try?
Lin Xiaomeng's gaze lingered on the three numbers "110" in the diary for a long time, as she pondered to herself:

"Has Chen Zhou reached this level in math? Damn it, the gap between us is widening!"

Lin Xiaomeng lowered her head, her eyes burning with resentment.

do not care!
I want to learn using the airplane method too!
At that moment, Chen Zhou was crouching behind a fire hydrant at the corner of the corridor, keeping a close eye on the movements at his seat out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing Lin Xiaomeng's reaction, he suppressed a laugh, his shoulders trembling slightly.

I told you not to sneak a peek at my diary.

Now look what's happened, everything's gone black, isn't it? Ever since Lin Xiaomeng started competing with him, Chen Zhou has noticed that she often flips through her diary.

What's the difference between having your diary read and social death?
Who the hell can tolerate this?

Ever since learning about this, Chen Zhou has been retaliating against Lin Xiaomeng, adding revelations to her diary every now and then.

For a while, Lin Xiaomeng looked at him strangely.

However, looking at Lin Xiaomeng's serious expression, Chen Zhou couldn't help but feel a little worried.

This guy wouldn't actually believe my nonsense and try out some kind of airplane learning method, would he?
If this becomes a habit, it will be troublesome.

Shaking his head, Chen Zhou sneaked away from the scene before Lin Xiaomeng noticed him.

Chen Zhou arrived at the foot of the teaching building. The streetlights cast dappled light through the sycamore branches, like scattered gold on the ground.

A gentle evening breeze, carrying a hint of coolness, swept over the slender figure of a young girl.

Jiang Xia was carrying a milk tea, idly rubbing the fallen leaves on the cement ground with the toe of her sneakers.

Hearing footsteps coming from the teaching building, Jiang Xia suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, followed by a touch of reproach:
"Hey bro, why are you so slow?"

Chen Zhou looked into Jiang Xia's shimmering eyes, which sparkled like scattered stars, and realized he had kept her waiting for a long time. He quickly apologized profusely.
"Sorry, sorry, something came up and I was held up."

Jiang Xia slung the milk tea behind his back, tilted his head, and asked curiously:

"What could be more important than going home? That's not like you at all!"

Chen Zhou waved his hand and said with a smile:
"I discussed study methods with my classmates."

Hmm, how can the airplane learning method not be considered a learning method?
Jiang Xia nodded knowingly:

"Hurry home, or my grandma will worry."

Chen Zhou and Jiang Xia lived across the hall from each other and had been going to and from school together since they were little. They were very close.

Jiang Xia's mother passed away from illness a few years ago, and his father, Jiang Cheng, is stationed on the frontier year-round, only returning home during annual leave.

Therefore, Jiang Xia has been living with her grandmother for the past few years.

Chen Zhou inadvertently noticed that Jiang Xia's milk tea was already half-finished. With his hands in his pockets, he teased:

"Didn't you say you were disgusted that I touched this milk tea? Why did you drink it?"

Jiang Xia's cheeks instantly turned bright red, but fortunately, the darkness of the night concealed her shyness.

She quickly explained in a low voice:

"You still have the nerve to say that? It was just a little touch from you, it would be such a waste to throw it away, I just didn't want to..."

Jiang Xia's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Seeing Jiang Xia's flustered expression, Chen Zhou pretended not to have heard clearly and chuckled as he leaned closer:
"What are you babbling about? I can't understand you. Are you interested in me?"

"Screw you!"

Jiang Xia's face turned as red as a teapot, as if steam could burst from his ears at any moment.

She patted Chen Zhou's shoulder hard with her small hand.

Chen Zhou was prepared and dodged the attack, running forward.

"Don't run away if you have the guts!"

Jiang Xia, blushing, chased after him relentlessly.
