Genius is just the threshold for me!

Chapter 140 Campus Banner

The autumn heat of September is still raging.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, the whole world began to feel warm.

Lin Dong got up early, ate a big bowl of wontons filled with stuffing made by his mother, took a bottle of pure milk to drink on the way, picked up his schoolbag and went downstairs to leave.

After a summer vacation, Lin Dong grew taller, reaching 167 centimeters.

Boys tend to develop later, and in 2012, a height of 167 cm at the beginning of junior high school was among the highest, even for urban teenagers.

According to Lin Dong's memory, he was only 162 cm tall when he first entered junior high school in his previous life. His height peaked in the first semester of his first year of high school, when he was 182 cm tall without shoes, and about 184 cm with shoes on.

In this life, because I don't have as much of a craving for snacks, my diet and rest have been more regular and balanced since childhood.

Starting in fourth grade, my height gradually surpassed that of my previous life. I estimate that by the time I reach my peak height in high school, I will be able to challenge 185 centimeters in height.

"Lin Dong!"

After walking downstairs, finishing her milk and throwing it in the trash can, Xu Qingling came down with an umbrella, wearing the school uniform that had been distributed with her when she registered a few days ago.

The classic blue and white school uniforms were initially considered ugly by Li Tao, Zhang Yihao, and others when they received them for registration, but more than a decade later, they became one of the most striking colors in their lives.

"You seem to have grown taller?"

Lin Dong smelled the faint fragrance emanating from the girl, but seeing that the visual difference didn't seem to change much, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, I measured it yesterday, it's 164 centimeters."

Xu Qingling nodded happily: "I've grown two centimeters since last semester. I calculated my parents' heights, and they said I can grow to 174 centimeters!"

"come on."

Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Girls generally develop earlier than boys, with most starting puberty around fifth grade. After about a year of puberty, girls experience a growth spurt from sixth grade to the first year of junior high school, during which they can grow 6 to 10 centimeters in a year. Their height growth slows down after menarche in the first or second year of junior high school, and their height is finalized after another year or two.

However, some people do not enter a growth spurt period and start menstruating before that. This means they miss out on a growth spurt period and are therefore shorter than average.

The same principle applies to male development.

The development of testicles marks the beginning of growth. After about a year, height growth enters a rapid growth spurt. At the peak of this spurt, voice changes may occur. Dreaming of drawing maps for the first time while sleeping signifies that development has matured and height growth slows down.

If a boy has already shown signs of voice change but hasn't experienced a growth spurt yet, intervention is necessary to prevent him from being shorter than expected later in life.

When Xu Qingling was in sixth grade, Zhou Xiaoyan noticed that although she had started puberty more than a year ago, her height had not yet accelerated into a growth spurt.

Fearing that a sudden acceleration in development might stunt their growth, they took them to a growth and development specialist for examination and intervened artificially for a period of time.

It wasn't until the second semester of sixth grade, when his height began to increase rapidly, that the intervention was stopped.

In Lin Dong's memory.

In his previous life, from the second semester of sixth grade to the first year of junior high school, Xu Qingling grew 11 centimeters in a year and a half, reaching a height of 169 centimeters, which made her almost half a head taller than him.

But her height growth began to slow down in the second year of junior high school, and stopped completely after she graduated from junior high school, remaining at 172 cm, two centimeters less than the 174 cm she had expected.

"Lin Dong! Xu Qingling!"

The two chatted for a while and waited at the entrance of the residential area for less than a minute.

Li Tao, Zhang Yihao, Zhang Zihua, Huang Qingyao, and others came over, and the group walked towards the school together.

Compared to the Shishi Primary School they attended, which was formerly a supporting primary school for Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, it's only a five-minute walk from the community.

The current Shishi Junior High School is significantly farther away, and it caters to a larger student population; it takes about fifteen minutes to walk there.

The teenagers walked quickly, chatting as they went, and soon arrived at the school gate.

"etc……"

Li Tao took out his water glass and took a sip.

Suddenly, as if noticing something, he pointed to the police car lane with its flashing lights at the school gate: "Why are there two police cars at the school gate?"

"Li Tao, didn't you see the news? They announced the promotion last week."

Zhang Xuebin said from the side: "Starting from this semester, a long-term campaign to crack down on bullying in primary and secondary schools will be launched nationwide, and a long-term high-pressure governance policy will be maintained against students who arbitrarily and maliciously bully others and fight."

Each month, a special task force will conduct random inspections and issue notices to areas that fail to implement the measures effectively or over-implement them, which will then be included in the local performance evaluation.

I've looked at the detailed rules; they're quite comprehensive.

Primary and secondary schools with more than 500 students will all have additional police stations, and all schools will implement a five-minute response plan, ensuring that police officers or special personnel arrive at the scene within 5 minutes in case of an emergency.

Police cars should be on duty at key schools in urban areas during students' arrival and departure times, while police officers should patrol and control ordinary schools and rural schools on-site.

As for the requirements for students, those who are primarily responsible for fighting more than twice, or who use other means to bully others more than twice, will be transferred to special schools regardless of their academic performance.

Students are allowed to argue but not fight. However, if one party backs down but the other continues to harass and verbally provoke, the punishment will be a warning once, a notice twice, and a disciplinary action three times. If the provocation leads to a fight, the student will be held primarily responsible for the fight.

Students who imitate gangster movies or carry weapons outside the home, whether it's during school days, weekends, or winter and summer vacations, will be transferred to special schools once discovered and verified.

Finally, we must maintain absolute high pressure on criminal gangs active around schools and along their routes to and from school, and severely punish them whenever they are discovered…

"Hiss—it's that strict?"

Li Tao gasped, then seemed to realize something and reached out to pat Zhang Yihao's broad shoulder: "We're doomed, Brother Hao."

Your advantages have all been weakened and suppressed; you can no longer earn pocket money by playing rock-paper-scissors.

"Damn it, are you going to keep bringing up things from first and second grade?"

Zhang Yihao wrapped his arms around Li Tao's neck and said through gritted teeth, "This crackdown only targets the school environment and the possession of weapons. After school, I'll come to your house and play rock-paper-scissors with you."

"If Uncle Li and the others were home, I would say you started flirting with female classmates as soon as school started. That doesn't lessen the damage, does it?"

"That's slander!"

Li Tao's eyes widened suddenly, and he struggled to shout at Zhang Yihao, Lin Dong, and the others, "Listen to me! You witness for me! He's slandering me! Slandering me!"

"Qingling and I are in the next class, but Hao is in your class. He wasn't there, so he can't testify," Lin Dong shook his head, looking helpless.

"I skipped a grade and am in the second year of junior high. I'm not in the same building as you guys, so it's even less likely." Zhang Zihua adjusted his glasses, equally helpless.

"Caiping is in the same class as you, she can vouch for you!" Su Yue nudged Jiang Caiping and teased with a laugh.

"I……"

Jiang Caiping gave a gentle, shy smile: "My seat is in the third row, and their seats are in the back, so I can't see them."

"See? No one can save you now... Hehehe!"

Zhang Yihao cackled, "You're about to die."

"Ah! Brother Hao, no..."

Li Tao quickly broke free and ran away, shouting as he went.

Su Yue and the others followed, shouting for Zhang Yihao to catch Li Tao.

Lin Dong watched the group playing around, exchanged a glance with Xu Qingling, smiled, shook his head, and went into the school.

Two red banners were also hung at the school gate.

One sign read "Warmly Welcome the 2012 First Year Students," while the other was a hardcore one: "Anti-Bullying, Upholding School Spirit, Strict Punishment, Protecting Peace and Tranquility"...

"Lin Dong".

Xu Qingling stopped and looked at the banner, then suddenly called out to Lin Dong.

"What's wrong?" Lin Dong turned around curiously.

"It's nothing."

Xu Qingling smiled and walked to Lin Dong's side, saying happily, "Let's hurry to the classroom, or we'll be late."

The classrooms for the first year of junior high were all in a teaching building near the school gate. In this life, because of his influence, everyone's grades changed, and the class assignments also became different.

Lin Dong and Xu Qingling's Class 7 (10) is on the third floor, Zhang Yihao and his classmates' Class 7 (9) is next door, and Huang Qingyao and Su Yue's classmates' Class 7 (11) is on the other side next door.

Lin Dong said goodbye to Zhang Zihua and walked towards the stairs with Xu Qingling. At this moment, Zhang Yihao and the others caught up and rushed ahead.

"etc!"

Just as they reached the third floor, a fair-skinned, delicate-faced girl was walking towards the stairs. She paused, startled upon seeing Lin Dong and the others, and then exclaimed, "...It's you?!"

"Wow, what a prodigy!"

Hearing the shout, Li Tao turned around and exclaimed in surprise.

What are you doing here?

Huang Qingyao stared wide-eyed at the girl's Shishi Middle School uniform: "You're a first-year student at Shishi Middle School?"

"Yes, I just transferred here this semester."

The girl nodded, then seemed to remember something, looked at Xu Qingling and Lin Dong walking together, walked up to them and extended her hand to introduce herself.

"Hello, my name is Xia Ran. I just transferred here. My dad and mom are newly transferred employees of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group. You were really good at playing with the drone the other day."
