Upon hearing the mention of passwords, Zhu Wenyun's eyes lit up immediately. After all, she genuinely wanted to know Chen Junqian's QQ password so she could secretly log in and check his chat history with Shen Nianqiu someday. So, after hearing Chen Junqian say this, she immediately handed him her phone.

"If you're in charge of the club, then you can come up with the password."

She had thought it through clearly. Many people use the same password for all their accounts, since it's too easy to forget different passwords. Elementary school students also have a lot of different accounts, such as QQ, 4399, and MiMi accounts. If Chen Junqian is also one of them, then she can give it a try.

Lin Mu and Xu Youwei were unaware of Zhu Wenyun's thoughts. The former simply leaned over to inquire what kind of password Chen Junqian would use, while the latter idly blew on a few strands of hair that had fallen across her forehead until Chen Junqian spoke next, at which point she suddenly snapped to attention.

"Let's use the initials of our names: me, then Mu Mu, then You Wei and Wen Yun. It's easy to remember and not easy to be stolen."

"Ah, um, it's fine."

Following the others' lead, Xu, who had set all her account passwords to CJQ5201314, blinked as she watched Chen Junqian type in the initials of her name, already wondering if Qinqin's password would be the same type as hers.

5201314.

I will love you forever.

This is probably a homophone that anyone can see.

But just like the writing on the walls, it needs to be hidden again, hidden even more...

----------------------------------

Since they had already decided to do this kind of content, Chen Junqian had naturally already thought about what their first skit would be like and how to create it. However, because the process of coming up with a name took longer than he had imagined, he could only give a brief explanation of what needed to be prepared before announcing the disbandment. Students' weekend time was very precious, and they also had to consider catching up on their homework.

Regarding the club activities, Chen Junqian was prepared to handle both aspects from the beginning. After figuring out the inner layer, he also had to deal with the outer layer, which was the literary club that he had mentioned to Zhu Wenyun before.

After all, if you were to find the most common and easily accepted club among teachers and students on campuses in China, the literary society would indeed be the one that is flawless in every aspect. The cover of the magazine "Fireworks" even features the slogan that it is jointly recommended by a hundred middle school literary societies across the country.

To be honest, if Zhu Wenyun were at Guoning Middle School, Chen Junqian could have directly asked this provincial first-prize essayist to come forward. However, she has already been to Hejin Middle School, so for now he can only take matters into his own hands. After all, in terms of literary creation or essay writing, Mu Mu and Youyou are really not reliable at all.

However, Zhu Wenyun herself was certainly unaware of these intricacies; all she could see was that Chen Junqian was willing to participate in the essay competition with her again.

"This year's finals are in Hefei, so I can go with you again. It's been almost two years since we last competed together."

In her mind, if Chen Junqian were willing to show his true abilities, he could compete for not only the first prize in the provincial essay competition, but also a competition of the level of the New Concept Essay Competition.

"Indeed, I had completely forgotten that so much time has passed since you mentioned it."

Chen Junqian, who only applied to establish a literary society in order to have a pretext and identity, was of course unaware that Zhu Wenyun had already placed him on a pedestal in her heart, and soon asked about the aftermath of the previous bullying incident.

Guoning is a small city, so even the kind of development in similar literary works where "the next day, so-and-so transferred schools" won't happen. After all, there are only two middle schools in Guoning, and any further transfers would have to be to the countryside or surrounding areas.

It was precisely because of this that the parties involved remained in the class after the incident ended, but their attitude towards Zhu Wenyun underwent a complete 180-degree change.

"But there are indeed some strange rumors, like my family is very powerful and has a lot of connections, or that I have a very powerful and influential relative..."

"What?"

"Boy friend."

Chen Junqian heard the girl say this on the other end of the phone.

Zhu Wenyun has always hated gossip. Even when she was in elementary school, she was so afraid of it that she would cover her face completely with a book every time she rode in her grandmother's tricycle.

But she finds herself reluctant to deny these rumors.

Chapter Thirteen: Studying and Early Romance Are Always Two Sides of the Same Thing (Combined)

A student's primary responsibility is to study.

Although it sounds like a piece of nonsense that will be sung on the internet a decade or two from now, accompanied by some mysterious background music from Guangdong, in the comments or bullet screens, that's exactly how it is.

So, despite Chen Junqian's multifaceted efforts lately—taking Xu Youwei for rides on his bicycle every day, helping Gu Linguo with family issues, and handling Zhu Wenyun's unexpected situation—his life seems full of ups and downs and excitement. However, most of the time, he is just an ordinary junior high school student attending classes in a classroom.

However, this is also the key reason why Xu Youwei and Zhu Wenyun are particularly concerned that they are not assigned to the same class again. After all, apart from weekends, students' social circles and what they see and hear are limited to their own schools and classes for most of the time.

Then the problem is coming.

What is Chen Junqian's daily life like at his new school for the first month after the start of the semester?

The answer is to observe closely his only childhood friend who was officially recognized by the system as a goofy girl.

Mu Mu's English has always been a big problem, so she has been attending tutoring classes outside of school since the third grade of elementary school. However, judging from the results, the effect has been minimal. It seems that the improvement in her scores is not as good as the Hengshui style of essay writing that Chen Junqian taught her before, which is still very helpful for her to score points in essays.

Actually, the English in the first semester of seventh grade wasn't that difficult. It was more like a review of all the knowledge and content from elementary school. But their English teacher was a rather strict middle-aged woman. She loved dictation before class, interacting with students and having them answer questions during class, and often extending class time after class by assigning homework to memorize texts. She was the type who would rather sacrifice her own after-school time to make sure every student in the class passed her test.

Not to mention Mu Mu, even Zhong Yu was exhausted by her. In just over ten days, she had already come up with all sorts of tricks. Before each class dictation test, she would prepare plenty of cheat sheets in her desk drawer, on her desk, in the gaps between her textbooks, and in her hand. But one time she was caught red-handed and had to quickly go to the back of the classroom and stand there for the whole class.

Actually, if Lin Mu had the carefree, lazy attitude of Zhong Yu, it wouldn't be so bad. However, Mu Mu is the type who endures hardship head-on, so Chen Junqian can almost always hear such conversations during English class.

On the podium was the English teacher, whose accent was fairly standard, constantly urging, "Loudly, loudly, I can't hear you." Below, Mu Mu was raising her hand faster than anyone else, but when she actually spoke, she stuttered a bit.

After each get out of class, Lin Mu would pitifully run to Chen Junqian's side to practice reciting the text in advance, while complaining about how her childhood sweetheart had betrayed their friendship from a few years ago.

"Qianqian said his spoken English wasn't good, but in the end, I was the only one who really couldn't speak it."

Chen Junqian was also helpless about this, after all, he had not lied before, but unfortunately the system's "multi-talented" ability did include English speaking ability.

As for why it exists.

Then all I can say is, how could a romantic comedy not have a blonde heiress who transferred from abroad and is going to have some fanservice incidents with you on her way here?

Of course, in reality, Chen Junqian doesn't encounter any transfer students; he only has a little fool who can't even pronounce or remember the phonetic symbols correctly.

Besides the torment at school, the English teacher also gave Mu Mu a real eye-opener when it came to homework. She was handed out newspapers that were bigger than her face and full of practice questions, which truly made her realize that primary school was indeed a thing of the past.

"That's why I don't want to grow up at all. It's only the first year of junior high, the third year will definitely be more tiring, and then high school will be more tiring than junior high. Only in college can I have fun to my heart's content. It's such a long time..."

Well, this is Mumu in a period of burnout or sage mode after her initial enthusiasm has faded. After all, there are some things you just can't do, like math problems and English problems. But at least you can guess an answer for the latter.

Although in other people's eyes, whether considering Lin Mu's family conditions or family atmosphere, there was no need for her to be so persistent in pursuing academic excellence, Mu Mu herself never thought so. She simply felt that children who did well in school could make their parents feel a little bit proud.

"After all, when people talk about Qianqian, the first thing they mention is definitely not your company outside, but that you always get first place in exams. A student's job is to study. And if I don't get into Ningzhong High School, I will have to separate from Qianqian again, not to mention there will be college in the future."

Perhaps influenced by Shen Nianqiu, Lin Mu is now starting to care about university, something she had never thought about before. After all, she's not a child who believes that time will really stop because of her own will, or that it will repeat itself endlessly like in "Detective Conan".

"Look, look, we were in the same class in junior high. If we can stay in high school and then go to the same university, that would be the ultimate, perfect childhood sweetheart relationship."

"...I think Mumu's most important task right now is to memorize this English text in her hand."

"Wow, Qianqian, you're disgusted with me. You laughed so hard when you heard me say that we got into the same university."

After being playfully punched twice in the chest by his childhood sweetheart, Chen Junqian simply adopted a "give up the fantasy and face reality" look, but still offered some friendly advice:

"For Mu Mu's situation, you could watch 'Fireworks.' There are many stories in it where boys deliberately do poorly on exams or fill in very low-ranking choices so that they can apply to the same school as girls. Of course, you can also watch some positive stories about striving hard and finally getting into the same university as your childhood sweetheart. But stories are just stories. If Mu Mu really wants to achieve this, she will definitely have to take it slowly."

"Moreover, even Ningzhong High School in this city has special classes that are recruited in advance, key classes and regular classes that are differentiated after the high school entrance examination."

Unlike junior high, the senior high classes at Guoning Middle School are no longer purely based on luck. So, if we're being honest, Chen Junqian thinks Zhu Wenyun has the best chance of being in the same class as him. If she can maintain her grades in junior high, they should be able to meet directly in the special admission class.

"So Mu Mu, keep it up! I'll help you with your studies too."

As they were talking, it was time for the daily long break exercise again. Many students in the class, who had already started to slack off, began to try to skip it. However, Mu Mu didn't have that intention. After all, she could eat candy and chat with Qian Qian after each run.

After all, for a child who would eat leafy greens like crazy and drink a cup of Milo every day just for that vague rumor of growing taller, such a small reward was enough for Lin Mu to keep going. Moreover, as his body gradually adapted to the intensity, although he still felt tired after each run, at least he wouldn't be able to hold his knees and pant like he did the first two times.

The candy Chen Junqian bought for her after running exercises today was soda candy in a small bottle shaped like an aluminum can. After all, his childhood sweetheart just doesn't like carbonated drinks, but she doesn't dislike this kind of sweet and sour candy. Chewing it in her mouth gives her a natural and refreshing feeling.

The two of them walked along this road back to class, sharing candies that were different every day, and talking about teachers, school, and homework.

She's not a wild horse, but her family does have a grassland. So, in many ways, Mu Mu is closer to a harmless little animal. She does seem like a female classmate without a story, with only ordinary memories accumulating in a lukewarm way.

This is just an ordinary day for the two of them.

----------------------------------

Since entering the third year of junior high school and facing the pressure of the high school entrance examination, Shen Nianqiu has been able to feel more and more clearly the atmosphere that is like dark clouds looming over the city.

Difficulties in learning and ranking can indeed change a student's overall atmosphere and personality from the inside out, especially for a boarding school like hers, where students spend most of their time on campus except for winter and summer vacations, and are naturally more affected by this atmosphere.

Even the lively late-night chats that used to take place in the dorm after evening self-study sessions in the past two years have disappeared. Everyone seems to be unwilling to talk after returning to the dorm, sitting silently at their desks, looking like a ball of air that has grown into a human shape.

If someone accidentally gets up and drags a chair, or makes a loud noise when opening or closing a door, they immediately have to apologize, but even after apologizing, no one will actually respond.

Fortunately, Shen Nianqiu still had her phone, so every night she would silently finish her own things, get into bed, and turn on her phone under the covers. The others did the same. If you looked down from God's perspective, the dormitory at that time was full of beds propped up by bodies, like camping tents, with the faint light inside being the screens of their phones.

But not everyone could maintain the same self-control as Shen Nianqiu at such a time. Soon, some of her roommates started to completely give up, and everyone could hear her talking to her boyfriend on the phone under the covers.

“Baby, I don’t want to study anymore, I don’t want to take the high school entrance exam. Even though I’ll be graduating in less than a year, I want to come find you.”

"Baby" is the special term she uses for her boyfriend, who is actually two years older than her. After saying it, she deliberately emphasizes the key premise of "less than a year".

Less than a year.

Just like their homeroom teacher always said, it will pass in the blink of an eye if you just persevere, even a fool knows that.

But it is precisely this emphasis on brevity and immediacy that seems to highlight the bravery and sincerity of her decision to elope for love. With this premise, her temperament is closer to that of the heroines in those youth-themed literature who are willing to risk everything for love.

Shen Nianqiu felt that her words were directed not only at her boyfriend, but also at the other students who were still in the dormitory, either doing practice problems or working on their error notebooks, because the dormitory was still quiet, and everyone could hear her clear, rustling voice.

Unfortunately, the other party did not get the agreement they wanted. To everyone's surprise, the girl actually left. According to what she said in their dormitory group chat, she had a big fight with her family and then ran away from home to stay with her boyfriend who lived in her rented apartment.

In the following days, their dormitory group chat and QQ space were filled with photos of each other's recent activities almost every day. They were all landscape photos from their travels, just like a poor child who had finally managed to get a piece of candy and was eager to show it off to everyone.

She insisted on showing it to her roommates and classmates, pushing it right under their noses, so that those still studying and taking exams at school could see what kind of life she was living.

No exams, no studying, no classes, no teachers—complete freedom.

Shen Nianqiu would always casually comment, "So beautiful."

Then within seconds, she would receive a much longer reply, seemingly because the other person felt that her comment, written by one of the top three students in the class, was too short and did not satisfy her vanity and expectations.

After repeating this several times, Shen Nianqiu simply stopped replying. However, this was not an isolated incident. The other person's roommates, classmates, and others gradually stopped commenting and replying, and the comment section under the post suddenly went from bustling to deserted.

If this girl has made any positive contribution, it's probably that she finally gave their dorm room, which had been stagnant for a while, a common topic to talk about, just like it is now.

"Has Nianqiu ever thought about dropping out of school to find her boyfriend?"

It's not exactly a secret that she has an online boyfriend in the dorm; after all, no girl would spend so much time chatting with her family or parents after 11 p.m. every day.

"No, a student's primary responsibility is to study. Things will be better once they get to university."

"It's strange to talk about university. Before university, my parents always said not to date because it would affect my studies, but as soon as I entered university, they started encouraging it. Don't I feel like I'm having a mental breakdown?"

Shen Nianqiu neither agreed nor disagreed. Early romance is one of the phenomena that is difficult to prohibit in middle school campuses. After all, in addition to the heavy pressure of studying, many students who cannot get spiritual comfort from teachers and parents will naturally place their hopes on so-called 'love'.

Because she was, in fact, one of them.
