We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

Solitudo: "Happy New Year." (Time: 00:00)

Li Bubai: "Happy New Year, Class Monitor." (Time: 07:30)

Chen Qiuhe also sent him a Happy New Year message, followed by a wish that he would never die.

New Year's Eve is not much different from any other day; it's just that people give this time a special meaning, and Li Mubai has always believed this.

The only meaningful thing about this day was probably changing Li Mubai's phone password and sending New Year's greetings to his friends.

Seeing that Yan Shu didn't seem to have any intention of sending a Happy New Year, Li Mubai hesitated for a moment before clicking send.

I waited a long time but didn't get a reply. They're probably busy.

Li Mubai put down his phone and started doing his homework. The final exams were coming up after the New Year's Day holiday, and he had missed some study time.

On January 1st, while others were still immersed in the New Year's atmosphere, Li Mubai had already plunged headlong into the ocean of knowledge.

He finished his New Year's Day homework from morning until afternoon.

Ding dong.

Li Mubai thought it was Yan Shu replying to his message, but when he opened his phone, he found that Xie Shu had sent him more than a dozen pictures via WeChat.

Solitudo: "Notes".

Li Bubai: "Thank you, class monitor."

Hopefully, I can cram a little in these last few days.

Yan Shu: "Happy New Year."

……

Jingle Bell!

"This exam is over. Please stop answering immediately..."

The joint entrance exam was just a joint test set by the three schools, and the exam was still held at their own schools. This reassured Li Mubai quite a bit, as he was much more familiar with his own school and had a home-field advantage.

"Sosnax, how did your exam go?"

Formulas are fast for solving problems, but five days have passed since the play ended, and Chen Qiuhe is still talking about Nassos.

Li Mubai pretended not to hear and continued to pack up his stationery. Xie Shu had already packed up his stationery and was pulled back by Deng Yi.

"Oh no, Nathos is deaf. How is he going to communicate with our Princess Sefina now?"

"There's no need to dwell on the past. How did you do on your exam, Chen Qiuhe?" Li Mubai chose to change the subject.

Actually, he felt that the story wasn't written perfectly. Nathos and Sefina's future was left open-ended. Where would they go? How would their lives turn out? It was all unknown.

However, Li Mubai does not force others to follow his way of thinking; a gentleman seeks harmony without uniformity.

"Great! It feels like you're about to improve again," Chen Qiuhe said.

On the contrary, Li Mubai didn't feel anything; he didn't find it difficult, nor did he find it easy.

Just as they reached the dormitory entrance, Li Mubai said to Chen Qiuhe, "I'm going back to my dorm."

"Okay, see you next semester."

"Okay, goodbye."

Back in his dorm, Li Mubai remembered the birthday gift he was supposed to give Chen Qiuhe. January 17th was a holiday, so should he send it to her by express delivery?

"See you next year, brothers," Yang Kun said, wiping away imaginary tears.

"Isn't it the New Year now?"

"Celebrating the Lunar New Year is still celebrating the New Year."

Li Mubai dragged his suitcase to the back gate of the school and spotted his parents' car not far away.

"How did the exam go, Xiaobai?" Li's mother asked after getting into the car.

"generally."

"It's okay, you'll do better next time."

When they were young, Li's parents were quite strict with Li Mubai and his brother. They were also quite naughty, so they were often beaten. But as they grew up, the two elders realized that beating and scolding could not solve the problem.

Li Mubai didn't know how other families were, but apart from his awkward relationship with his brother, everything else was fine.

Back home, Li Mubai took out the birthday gift he had prepared for Chen Qiuhe from the drawer. Should he give it to her when school starts? Would that still be considered a birthday gift?

After thinking for a moment, Li Mubai took out his phone and sent a message to Chen Qiuhe.

Li Bubai: "What is your delivery address?"

Qinghe: "What do you want? To come to my house as a guest?"

Li Bubai: "I'll send you some local specialties."

I can't just say it's a birthday present; that would ruin the surprise.

Qinghe: "Can't you bring it to me when school starts?"

Li Bubai: "It can't be kept for that long, can it?"

If not absolutely necessary, Li Mubai would not want to ask for other people's addresses, as he always felt it was impolite, but he was even less willing to ask people out to meet.

Qinghe: "When will you send it to me?"

Li Mubai thought for a moment and figured that if it was a local courier service, it would probably need to be sent out two or three days in advance.

Li Bubai: "I'll send it to you around January 14th."

Qinghe: "Oh~ Mu Bai, Li Mu Bai, you want to give me a gift, right?"

I shouldn't be talking about time...

Qinghe: "Why go through all that trouble to send a gift? I was still in Pingyang City on January 17th. If you want to send one, just send it to me offline."

Li Bubai: "Can't it be delivered by courier?"

Qinghe: "Mu Bai, Li Mu Bai, it's not a good thing to ask girls' addresses casually. Be careful, or I'll call the police and have you arrested."

Li Bubai: "Alright."

Qinghe: "I'll contact you then."

Since things have come to this, there's nothing we can do about it.

Ding dong.

Yan Shu: "The assignment was due in half a month, and the exam is over. Do I still need to write it?"

Li Bubai: "Write."

Yan Shu: "I forgot, you senior high school students haven't started your winter break yet."

High school seniors definitely didn't have a holiday, but he's not a high school senior...

Writing poetry is also a way to vent emotions. "Poetry can inspire, can be observed, can be used for social interaction, and can express grievances." This is the principle.

Only after Li Mubai strongly stated that it would not affect his studies did Yan Shu agree to let him continue working on the project for another half month.

Damn it, this is clearly his right, but now he's using it to attack and defend against aliens.

……

November 14st

Wu Changguo posted the grade sheet in the class group, without giving the students any privacy.

Li Mubai clicked on the spreadsheet and a dazzling array of data popped up... it even showed the rankings of three schools.

He first looked at who was in the top ten.

First place: Chen Yutong, Pingyang No. 1 Middle School, results...

Second place: Shen Nianning, Pingyang No. 3 Middle School, results...

Third place: Xie Shu, Pingyang No. 6 Middle School, scores: Chinese 131, Mathematics 135, English 144, Humanities Comprehensive 270.

awesome.

Fourth place, Mei Yulu...

Li Mubai swiped down and flipped to his score.

51st place, Li Mubai, Pingyang No. 6 Middle School, scores: Chinese 128, Mathematics 108, English 109, Humanities 258.

I don't know if this result represents progress or regression in the class ranking.

He flipped down again.

75th place, Chen Qiuhe, Pingyang No. 6 Middle School, scores: Chinese 115, Mathematics 107, English 100, Humanities Comprehensive 236.

Qinghe: "How did the exam go?"

The grades are all written on the report card, aren't they? Xie Shu wouldn't ask such a silly question. Chen Qiuhe is far inferior to Xie Shu.

Li Mubai took a screenshot and sent it to her.

Qinghe: "Wow, not bad! Your math has improved."

Li Bubai: "Isn't the score about the same as last time?"

Qinghe: "It's different this time, it's a bit more difficult."

Okay, that's something to celebrate. I'll reward myself by doing a page of math homework over the winter break.

Solitudo: "My math is a little better now."

Li Bubai: "Thank you, class monitor."

Solitudo: "You're welcome."

Okay, that's his language habit.

Xie Shu then sent some more math notes. If I continue to practice like this, will I become a math whiz like Xie Shu?
