Chapter 23 High School, Here I Come

High school life is both unfamiliar and exciting for Su Jiaojiao.

The classmates in the class are all top students who have worked hard to get into middle schools in rural towns. They still retain the fighting spirit and rhythm they had in junior high school, and even their walk seems to be carried by the wind.

Only one girl in their dormitory was very different. She worked leisurely and was very talkative. She even volunteered for the position of dormitory leader. Even her freshman self-introduction was graceful and elegant: "Hello everyone, my name is Xu Mengyao. Xu is the Xu of maybe, Meng is the dream of dreams, and Yao is the Yao of Yaochi. The meaning of this name is meaningless. It's because my mother went to too many storytelling clubs. It seems that storytelling clubs don't make sense when it comes to naming."

The whole class burst into laughter.

Su Jiaojiao also developed a liking for this roommate. With such a happy person, the six people in their dormitory quickly became familiar with each other. They went to the classroom together, helped each other get meals, and got along easily and happily.

The only thing that made Su Jiaojiao uncomfortable was that Xue Yuxin lived in the dormitory next to hers and was in the same class as her.

What’s funny is that every time Xue Yuxin sees her, she’s like a fighting cock, as if Su Jiaojiao has snatched her father away.

After a week of military training, we quickly entered a state of intense study.

Other classes are a little easier. If you prepare in advance and review carefully, and get up early to recite and consolidate, you will be able to keep up.

Only mathematics is a stumbling block for Su Jiaojiao. It really proves the saying that if you don't know mathematics, you can only write a solution. Su Jiaojiao is naturally unwilling to just write a solution. Every time she attends mathematics class, she pays full attention and listens attentively. When she encounters a problem she doesn't know how to solve, she will never let it go overnight. Sometimes she will run to the office to ask the teacher for help.

After a few visits, all the teachers in the office knew her and praised her as a hardworking and good student.

The homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhang, teaches mathematics. She appreciates diligent and studious students. In order to motivate her classmates, she specially set Su Jiaojiao as an example of diligence and curiosity, and encouraged everyone to ask questions as soon as they have questions. Only by solving the wrong questions can they improve their grades from the root.

After class, Su Jiaojiao still sat in her seat solving math problems, concentrating and thinking very seriously.

Her deskmate Zhang Lili teased her, "You're working so hard, are you planning on getting into Peking University?"

Kyoto University is in the imperial capital.

It is the top school that all students yearn for.

"Does it mean you only need to work hard to get into Peking University?" Su Jiaojiao finished her homework, put away her exercise book, and took out her English textbook to start her English homework. English was her strong point, so it came easy to her. Zhang Lili bit the tip of her pen and smiled. "That's not the case. It's just that your efforts are too noticeable. Many people in the class say you work so hard because you want to join the experimental class and get into Peking University."

"Admission to the experimental class also depends on grades. You can't get in just by working hard..." Su Jiaojiao feels that it is not important whether or not to get into the experimental class. What is important is to find a learning method that suits you and then stick to it, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.

The three experimental classes of Jiaoxian No. 1 Middle School are all among the top 100 in their grade.

The classes are re-assigned every year. Students with good grades in the regular class will be directly promoted to the experimental class, and students with poor grades in the experimental class will also be assigned to the regular class.

"Chatting with a top student is so boring." Zhang Lili habitually twirled her pen and changed the subject. "By the way, are those things Xue Yuxin said true?"

"What's the matter?" Su Jiaojiao frowned.

It has been almost a week since school started, and she hasn't spoken a word to Xue Yuxin.

She didn't want to involve Xue Yuxin in the matter between Su Houli and Gao Meifeng.

"You don't know!" Zhang Lili exclaimed in surprise. "I thought you were mentally strong and focused on your studies, so you wouldn't bother with her!"

"What's the matter?" Su Jiaojiao knew that it was definitely not good.

"She said you..." Zhang Lili bit Su Jiaojiao's ear, "She said you were engaged to your cousin in the village. Your cousin's family paid for your schooling, and she also said that you would marry your cousin after graduation."

"Did she really say that?" Su Jiaojiao frowned. She knew Xue Yuxin was a bit harsh, but she hadn't expected her to be so harsh. Zhang Lili swore to the heavens, "If you don't believe me, ask Xu Mengyao. Xue Yuxin's original words were even harsher than that. I heard that they've even spread to other classes."

"Does she have any evidence?" Su Jiaojiao asked back.

Spread a rumor and break a leg.

She certainly wouldn't let herself fall into such a trap.

"I told you she was definitely spreading rumors," Zhang Lili tactfully stopped asking questions and got up to go to the bathroom. She bumped into Xue Yuxin at the door and snorted disdainfully at her. Xue Yuxin didn't like Su Jiaojiao, and by extension, the people around her. She rolled her eyes at Zhang Lili and sat down at her seat. Her deskmate, Wang Qian, who had been admitted as an art student, was concentrating on her paintbrush. Seeing Xue Yuxin come back angrily, she asked, "Hey, who messed with you?"

Wang Qian and Xue Yuxin are roommates and junior high school classmates.

When school started, Xue Yuxin gave each person in dormitory 302 a bed sheet, saying that it was made by her mother.

Wang Qian is an old acquaintance, and Xue Yuxin even gave her a pillowcase as a gift.

Xue Yuxin is very popular in dormitory 302, and Wang Qian follows her like a tail.

"Who else could it be?" Xue Yuxin glanced at Su Jiaojiao, who was sitting across from her. "When I think there's someone like this in our class, I can't stay here any longer."

Just a few days after school started, Su Jiaojiao was set up as a role model for study by her homeroom teacher.

She was just a country girl from the countryside, but she caught the teacher's eye by pretending to be nice. It was obvious at first glance that she was not honest.

"Don't be angry. Some people are just good at pretending." Wang Qian's academic performance was average. She failed the high school entrance exam and only got into No. 1 Middle School because she failed. She felt an inexplicable jealousy towards her classmates who performed well, especially those like Su Jiaojiao. She was even more unwilling to accept it. "One day, everyone will know her true colors."

She can understand that the family is poor and cannot afford to send her children to school.

But relying on a man for support is a very despicable thing. In the future, when Su Jiaojiao gets into college, she will definitely dump him.

Originally, Wang Qian just wanted to comfort Xue Yuxin and make her position clear.

But this day came so quickly. After school on Friday, her mother made an appointment with her to bring her some food. Wang Qian went to the school gate to get it. Her mother repeatedly told her to study hard and strive to get into a good university.

"I know, I know," Wang Qian replied impatiently, picked up her lunch box, and left. After a few steps, she saw a young man with yellow hair holding a bag of fruit and waving at her. He walked up to her politely and said, "Classmate, do you know Su Jiaojiao from Class 3, Grade 1?"

"I know you. Who are you?" Wang Qian looked him up and down.

"I'm her cousin, and I'm here to give her something." Liang Kun was a little embarrassed, rubbing his hands and said, "Please call her out, thank you!"

He passed by here on his way to work.

Seeing many parents giving gifts, he thought that no one would give her anything, so he bought some fruits and sent them to her. He wanted to be nice to her.

"Cousin?" Wang Qian suddenly remembered Xue Yuxin saying that Su Jiaojiao's boyfriend was her aunt's cousin. A thought flashed through her mind and she smiled, "You're her fiancé, right?"

"No, not yet." Liang Kun blushed and touched his head, "It's my cousin."

He actually hopes to be Su Jiaojiao's fiancé.

Unfortunately, he is not.

"A partner is a partner, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't worry, I'll go call her out right away." Wang Qian was just happy about this. She didn't even bother to go back to the dormitory to eat and quickly went to the teaching building.

Wang Qian couldn't wait to tell Xue Yuxin that Liang Kun was waiting for Su Jiaojiao at the school gate.

Xue Yuxin perked up when she heard this, and gloated, "Just tell Su Jiaojiao that her boyfriend is waiting for her outside."
