Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Lu Yixiao asked Lu Youning curiously: "Ningning, your cooking is so delicious, do you cook it often at home?"

Lu Youning shook her head: "Not really, I just like it, so I slowly learned how to make it. Sometimes when I want to eat it, I watch videos online to learn."

Ruan Fuxi said: "That's also very impressive."

Everyone shared their interesting stories at home and some unique local delicacies.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Ruan Fuxi stood up first and said, "We have to pack up and go, otherwise we will be late."

So everyone started to clean up the tables, sort out the garbage such as thermal boxes and disposable lunch boxes, and throw them into the trash can.

Gu Siyuan: "Today's meal is really great. I hope I can have the chance to eat Sister Ning's cooking next time."

Lu Yixiao: "You're dreaming! This meal hasn't even been digested yet, and you're already thinking about the next one."

Lu Youning smiled and said, "There will be a chance."

Then they walked out of the cafeteria together. Lu Youning and Lu Yixiao went back to the classroom, while Ruan Fuxi and Gu Siyuan walked towards the dormitory.

After the midterm exam, Class 8 reshuffled seats. Lu Youning continued to sit at the same table with Lu Yixiao, while Gu Siyuan and Ruan Fuxi sat behind her. Afterward, the students returned to their normal study routine.

A week after the midterm exam, Ruan Fuxi participated in the computer finals.

A few days later, the head teacher announced that Ruan Fuxi had won the first place in the individual competition and the second place in the team competition in the computer competition finals.

As soon as the head teacher finished speaking, the classroom erupted in enthusiastic cheers. The students applauded, their faces filled with excitement and pride.

"Wow, Ruan Fuxi is so amazing!" a classmate exclaimed loudly.

"This result is simply unbeatable!" Another classmate waved his fist excitedly.

Lu Youning and Lu Yixiao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise. Lu Yixiao smiled and said, "Boss, that's awesome!" Lu Youning nodded in agreement.

As time enters late November, only the leaves of the sycamore trees in the southern campuses have turned from green to golden, reminding students that it is deep autumn.

As autumn deepens, everyone has changed into autumn school uniforms.

During breaks, students would play under the sycamore tree. Some female students would pick up a fallen leaf with a nice shape and put it in their books as a bookmark.

That day, Lu Youning was called into the office by her homeroom teacher. As soon as she entered, the teacher said, "Well, you made great progress on the last midterm exam. The school leaders want you to share your learning experience at the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. What do you think?"

Lu Youning was a little apprehensive when she heard she would be sharing her learning experiences on the flag-raising stage, especially with her entire grade watching. She was naturally afraid, and since she had little learning experience, she felt nervous.

"Teacher, shouldn't you be looking for Ruan Fuxi?" Lu Youning asked in confusion.

The homeroom teacher explained, "It's mainly because the school leaders feel that your rise from the bottom of the class upon entering No. 1 Middle School to being in the top 50 of your grade now will have a greater impact on and inspire your classmates. Don't feel any pressure; just read the manuscript."

After hearing what the teacher said, Lu Youning felt embarrassed to refuse.

"Okay, teacher, I will prepare well. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the classroom first." After saying that, Lu Youning left the teacher's office.

Back in the classroom, Lu Yixiao asked with concern: "Ningning, does the teacher want to talk to you about something?"

"It's nothing big, just asking me to share my learning experience on the flag-raising platform next week."

"Then why don't you look very happy?" Lu Yixiao looked at Lu and said.

"I'm just afraid that I'll be nervous and stutter and make a fool of myself."

"Don't be afraid. When the time comes, just treat them as cabbages or ignore them. Just look at your manuscript and you won't be nervous." Ruan Fuxi suddenly said.

Lu Youning looked up at Ruan Fuxi, and saw Ruan Fuxi continue: "Just think about how you usually study, and simply share your study methods. Don't think about anything else."

Ruan Fuxi's tone was calm and gentle, which immediately calmed Lu Youning's uneasiness and anxiety.

Lu Youning looked at Ruan Fuxi gratefully, nodded, and said, "Well, you're right. I'll just share according to my usual learning methods."

Over the next few days, Lu Youning meticulously prepared her speech, detailing her study skills, time management methods, and how to overcome learning difficulties in various subjects.

Finally, it was time for the flag-raising ceremony on Monday. Lu Youning walked up to the flag-raising platform and looked at the classmates below. She was still a little nervous at first.

But she remembered Ruan Fuxi's words, took a deep breath, and began to share:

"Hello everyone! My name is Lu Youning. Today I'd like to share my study experience with you. I think planning is very important when it comes to studying..."

She spoke more and more fluently, explaining how she previewed, reviewed, and took notes.

The students in the audience listened very attentively, and some nodded from time to time.

Finally, I have one message for everyone: 'Please believe in the power of repetition.' Thank you."

After the sharing session, warm applause broke out from the audience. Lu Youning walked down from the flag-raising platform, and was greeted by Lu Yixiao, Gu Siyuan, and Ruan Fuxi.

Lu Yixiao said excitedly, "Ningning, you spoke so well!" Gu Siyuan smiled and said, "Sister Ning, you spoke so well, so well."

Ruan Fuxi also looked at her with a smile. Lu Youning smiled happily, her heart full of a sense of accomplishment.

……

After the flag-raising ceremony, we returned to the classroom. The monitor came back from the meeting and stood on the podium and shouted to the students:

"Everyone, be quiet. I have something to announce. New Year's Day is only a month away, and the school requires each class to perform a program. I'd like to ask everyone what program our class will be performing?"

After hearing this, everyone thought for a while, and a male classmate took the lead and said, "Let's do a skit. Sketches are interesting and can express a lot of things, and they can easily resonate with everyone." As soon as he finished speaking, a classmate echoed him.

But some students expressed different opinions. A girl stood up and said, "I think chorus is better. It can show the unity of our class, and it doesn't require too much complicated rehearsal. Everyone just needs to sing well."

Everyone held their own opinions, arguing endlessly. Finally, the entertainment committee member stood up and confidently said, "I'll organize a dance with a few girls. It's very entertaining and will definitely attract attention on stage."

Lu Youning didn't have any talents, so she didn't speak. She thought to herself that she really didn't have any skills that could be demonstrated on stage, so she decided to just be an audience member.

Lu Yixiao didn't say anything. She has never been very active in such things. She learned dancing when she was a child, but didn't stick with it.

Finally, the entertainment committee found Liang Sisi, Zuo Yanzi and six others to dance. They all had dance experience and solid basic skills, so they could learn new dances quickly.

The entertainment committee member gathered them together as soon as the get out of class was over to discuss the dance style and repertoire.

Liang Sisi suggested, "We can choose a more popular ancient style dance. This kind of dance is very popular now, and our costumes are easier to match."

Zuo Yanzi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, ancient style dance is very charming, the movements are graceful yet powerful." Several other girls also expressed their approval.

So, in the following days, whenever they had free time, these girls would practice dancing in the empty classroom that the cultural and entertainment committee member had requested from the teacher.

……

The autumn wind is blowing gently, the temperature difference between morning and evening is getting bigger and bigger, and it has even rained lightly in the past two days.

After the rain, the temperature immediately dropped by 10 degrees, and the breeze immediately turned into a biting north wind. Winter in the south is wet and cold.
