Chapter 80 0078 [Three's Company]

"Holy crap, Ma Jiajue has been caught!"

Someone in the classroom shouted something, and instantly more than ten people crowded around to look at the newspaper.

"Where was it caught?"

Sanya.

"Didn't he kill someone in Yunnan Province? He's really fled to the ends of the earth."

"This time he'll definitely be sentenced to death."

"Nonsense, he killed four classmates, how could he not be sentenced to death?"

"..."

In the second semester of senior year, we couldn't watch "Today's Talk" anymore, but several newspapers would appear in the classroom every day.

The newspapers were obtained by our political science teacher, Gao Zhan. We had *People's Daily* and *Global Times* every day so students could read more and stay informed about current events. Occasionally, he would also get our hands on *Xihua City Daily*, purely for the students' entertainment.

This issue of the Xihua City Daily devoted an entire page to reporting on Ma Jiajue's arrest and discussing student psychological issues.

Among the vast student population, Ma Jiajue has become a source of jokes.

"Thank you, roommate, for sparing my life!"

I'll hammer you to death!

Chen Guiliang was so engrossed in doing his homework that he suddenly heard the name "Ma Jiajue" and wondered if he had been reborn.

Fine, I'll just lie down and take a nap.

He felt that he had become somewhat obsessed during this period. In order to secure admission to Peking University, he studied too hard and had lost the detached mindset of someone who had been reborn.

Damn, I never worked this hard in my senior year of high school in my past life.

It needs to be adjusted.

After sleeping for half an hour, Chen Guiliang felt much more awake.

"Awake?" asked Qin Shanshan, who sat next to me.

Chen Guiliang yawned: "I haven't had enough sleep yet."

Qin Shanshan said, "I envy you. At least you have a clear goal. I'm very confused and don't know what I'm studying for."

Chen Guiliang thought to himself: You'll know why you need to study when you repeat a year next year.

This classmate only got into a third-tier university; he was too lazy to even fill out the application form and went straight to buy study materials.

Chen Guiliang pulled out his political practice paper and, as always, used his usual review method—

For questions I know 100% of the time, I just skim through them; I'm too lazy to write them down and waste time.

If you encounter something you're unsure about, look it up in a book. Reflect on why you're unsure. If it involves multiple points, stop and carefully review the book until you've mastered all the relevant information.

If you know the general direction of the answer but can't write out the complete details, it usually means you've encountered a difficult, more complex question. In this case, you need to start writing, copying down the answers from a book, and then spending time memorizing them.

In this way, after completing each set of test papers, you can grasp several missed knowledge points.

Every two weeks, I would read through the entire book's outline, and then read the detailed outlines of each unit. Combining this with my review over the next two weeks, I gained a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of the entire textbook. This way, I could completely master the book.

Of course, this method is not very useful for English, because Chen Guiliang doesn't know too many words and is unfamiliar with the usage of too many phrases...

Evening self-study session ended.

Chen Guiliang decided not to stay up late tonight and would take a walk around the campus empty-handed.

Try to change your mindset.

He walked up to Bian Guanyue, smiled, and said, "I'll take you to the station."

"Great!" Bian Guanyue was overjoyed, but her expression didn't change much because there were still many students in the classroom.

"Oh~~~"

Several students in the middle of the first and second rows heard the conversation between the two and immediately started making strange noises and jeering.

Bian Guanyue finally couldn't hold back anymore, and her face turned bright red all the way to her ears.

The two walked out of the classroom side by side, and Bian Guanyue lowered her head shyly and didn't say a word.

"Master Chen!"

Ou Yafei from the next class took the initiative to greet Chen Guiliang for the first time.

Chen Guiliang nodded in response: "Hello, classmate Ou."

Ou Yafei exclaimed in surprise, "Master Chen, you still recognize me?"

"It's hard not to recognize him," Chen Guiliang said with a smile.

Ou Yafei glanced at Bian Guanyue again and commented, "They're a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

Chen Guiliang now treats his past life's "white moonlight" with a normal attitude and is too lazy to pry into other people's private lives.

Whether the abortion is real or not, it has nothing to do with Chen Guiliang.

"Master Chen!"

Then another student from the same grade greeted him.

Chen Guiliang smiled and waved, enjoying the celebrity treatment ahead of time.

Bian Guanyue said, "Now everyone in the school knows you, especially the senior students."

Chen Guiliang laughed and said, "I was quite famous in the senior year of high school. Last year, I went to each classroom to ask them for autographs. Even if they didn't know my name, they knew that there was a lunatic who helped them get their computer fees back."

"You are very brave," Bian Guanyue said admiringly.

The two chatted along the way and soon arrived at the bus station outside the school.

Chen Guiliang said, "The mock exam is over, and I need to buy a cell phone and a language repeater. Are you free?"

"Hmm... I'm free." Bian Guanyue felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Tomorrow is the mock exam.

……

The mock exam was set uniformly for the whole city, and its quality was much better than that of the monthly exam.

At least, Chen Guiliang did not find any more obvious flaws in the questions.

He handles Chinese language exams with ease, especially reading comprehension. Chen Guiliang's first consideration is the question setter's intention, not the author's. Once he understands why the question is phrased that way, his answers are usually quite accurate.

Chen Guiliang did quite well in the math section.

English is still a painful subject due to insufficient vocabulary.

Chen Guiliang has never neglected the humanities subjects; even after starting work, he would still find books to study on his own, and his knowledge of politics, history, and geography is extremely rich.

In previous humanities exams, I mainly lost points on theoretical questions and some less commonly used high school knowledge points.

After the mock exam, we got a day off.

Teachers need to grade the exam papers quickly and report the scores to the city so that the city can make a unified estimate of scores and set a simulated admission line.

On the day of their holiday, the high school seniors, who had been cooped up for so long, found all sorts of ways to have fun.

Yes, some people slept all day!

Just as Chen Guiliang was about to leave the dormitory, he received a call from Tao Xue: "Nephew, I'm outside your dormitory."

Aunt Tao had been waiting for the senior high school students to have their summer vacation... When Bian Guanyue stood at the crossroads and saw Chen Guiliang get off the bus, she also saw Tao Xue behind him.

I suddenly felt a little annoyed.

"Aunt Xue wants to go shopping too," Chen Guiliang said helplessly.

"Hi!"

Tao Xue waved enthusiastically, her smile radiant: "Senior, we meet again."

"Hello."

A perfunctory greeting from the border region, but thinking to myself: I'm going to university in the capital, while you'll still be in your second year of high school in the county. Let's see how you manage to be your little tagalong then!

One man and two women went to find a place to eat first.

Chen Guiliang and Tao Xue hadn't had breakfast yet, while Bian Guanyue deliberately saved her stomach, having eaten too much when she bought the cat last semester.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was alright, with Tao Xue chattering away.

Bian Guanyue was also very accommodating, not remaining silent, and occasionally chatting with Tao Xue.

After finishing their breakfast, they strolled towards the commercial street in the new city area, and from afar, they heard a song: "The Thirty-Six Strategies of Love are like a game, I want to control the remote myself..."

Tao Xue said, "This album is incredibly popular; it was only released last week."

Actually, it has been released for more than half a month, but it is a bit slower in small counties.

Bian Guanyue has been busy with her studies lately and hasn't paid much attention: "It sounds like Jolin Tsai's voice? I heard it on the school radio a couple of days ago."

“Yes, Jolin Tsai’s new album,” Tao Xue said with a grin. “S.H.E. also released a new album, and ‘Persian Cat’ is super popular. The Persian cat, with its eyes half-closed. The Persian cat, standing on its tiptoes…”

As she spoke, Tao Xue even started singing.

None of these are true gods!

The three walked a little further when a song came from a broken speaker outside the barbershop: "The first snow of 2002..."

Tao Xue exclaimed in surprise, "Whose song is this? It's quite unique."

"The composition and arrangement are both very strange." Bian Guanyue had studied vocal music for a few years.

Chen Guiliang remarked with emotion, "Dao Lang is going to become famous too."

Dao Lang's album "The First Snow of 2002" was released quietly back when Chen Guiliang participated in the New Concept Writing Competition.

However, lacking funds for advertising and sales channels, it relied solely on free dissemination among the people, and it has only now reached small counties.

In his previous life, Chen Guiliang became a fan of Dao Lang because of "Zhu'er".

There's no other way; besides "Pearl," what other new song is there specifically dedicated to commemorating the martyrs?

Audio-visual stores often also sell language repeaters.

Chen Guiliang bought a tape recorder, a set of high school English listening tapes, and a copy of "The First Snow of 2002".

Xu Haibo loves listening to this; he'll be a die-hard fan of Dao Lang.

Bian Guanyue also bought several cassette tapes, including new albums by Jolin Tsai and S.H.E.

Tao Xue, standing to the side, said, "Senior, you don't need to buy these. I can lend them to you to listen to."

"I'm afraid I'll forget to return it to you," Bian Guanyue said.

After browsing the audio-visual store, Chen Guiliang treated the two elders to milk tea.

He then went to buy a mobile phone and get a SIM card.

"Buy a better one," Tao Xue urged, knowing that Chen Guiliang had made money selling private clothing.

Chen Guiliang, holding a Nokia 1100, said, "This one is pretty good."

This was Chen Guiliang's first mobile phone in his previous life, and it never had any problems for four or five years. Moreover, the buttons felt particularly comfortable to the touch.

He bought it during his sophomore year of college; it cost less than 600 yuan.

By my junior year, it had become a 1-yuan package machine.

"how much is it?"

"1300."

"No discounts?"

"If you come to buy it a month earlier, you'll have to pay extra to pick it up."

"Fine……"

Chen Guiliang paid 1500 RMB, and also got a SIM card and prepaid for his phone credit.

The three of them ate lunch together.

Although the atmosphere was harmonious, something just felt off.

Tao Xue even went to a newsstand to buy newspapers related to Chen Guiliang, and read them aloud while waiting for the food to be served. She acted like a crazy woman, but Aunt Tao enjoyed it immensely.

When Bian Guanyue returned home by car, Tao Xue was even happier, as she could go back to school alone with Chen Guiliang.

Even during holidays, we still have to attend evening self-study sessions.

The homeroom teacher, Liu Shuying, only released the English scores.

The following day, the city's unified simulated admission cutoff scores were released.

Because the exam questions were relatively difficult, the admission cutoff score was set lower than the previous semester's final score, with the first-tier university cutoff score dropping to 538.

Chen Guiliang: Chinese 136, Mathematics 94, English 97, Humanities 241. Total score: 568.

During class, Liu Shuying specifically praised him, saying, "We are a liberal arts experimental class, and every student has great potential. It all depends on whether they study hard. Chen Guiliang has been working very hard lately. The mock exam was even more difficult than the final exam last semester, but he still improved by 12 points. Moreover, he exceeded the first-tier university admission line by a full 30 points!"

Li Jun muttered to himself, "If I could get into Peking University through their special admission program, I would definitely work even harder than him."

Guan Zhiqiang chuckled, holding the novel: "Hehe."

Xie Yang won the bet. He only studied hard for a few days and performed well, improving his score by 23 points compared to the previous semester's final exam. This puts him at a mid-level for a second-tier university.

But Xie Yang wasn't feeling right.

Last year, he had similar results to Chen Guiliang, but now he is falling further and further behind.

Liu Shuying continued, "Don't worry about Peking University's special admissions; let's put that aside. Chen Guiliang managed to score 30 points above the first-tier university cutoff through hard work. Can't you do the same? It's only the first mock exam; there's still plenty of time. As long as you seize this last opportunity to sprint, I believe everyone can get into a good university!"

After class, seven or eight students gathered around.

"Master Chen, your chances of getting into Peking University are in the bag!"

Congratulations on getting into Peking University.

"Damn, the humanities section was so hard this time, how did you get such a high score?"

"..."

Bian Guanyue lingered a few steps away, too embarrassed to come over.

Chen Guiliang asked, "Bian Guanyue, how much did you get this time?"

Bian Guanyue smiled and replied, "I've passed the second-tier university entrance exam cutoff."

"come on."

"Well, I'll try my best."
