Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

After dinner, Lu Youning stood in front of Jiang Wenyu's house, carrying a watermelon. She took several deep breaths before mustering the courage to knock on the door.

The door opened, and what came into view was a handsome face with sharp edges and smooth lines, exuding a cold aura.

Under his thick eyebrows are a pair of eyes as deep as black holes, the light they reveal seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts. Coupled with his height of 182, he is definitely a cool and handsome man.

Lu Youning hurriedly looked away, handed him the watermelon, and said, "Brother Wenyu, I'm here to borrow a book."

Jiang Wenyu glanced at Xigua and said briefly, "Come in."

Lu Youning walked into the living room, stood aside, and greeted Jiang Ma politely.

"Wait." Jiang Wenyu said to Lu Youning and turned back to his room to get a book.

Mother Jiang warmly pulled Lu Youning to sit down and offered her some fruit. She then gently asked about the high school entrance exam: "Youning, how did you do? Are the results coming out soon?"

"Soon, in a few days." Lu Youning replied.

After just a few words, Jiang Wenyu came over with a stack of books, "Come on, I'll get it to you." As he said that, he walked out of the house with the books.

Lu Youning hurriedly chased after him, saying, "I'll get it myself." When she caught up, Jiang Wenyu was already standing in front of the Lu family's door. Lu Youning secretly complained in her heart: "Your long legs are amazing."

Jiang Wenyu urged, "Don't just stand there, open the door."

"Oh, oh, okay." Lu Youning hurriedly took the key to open the door.

Lu's father and mother were watching TV in the living room. When they heard the door open, they looked over and said hurriedly, "Wenyu, sorry to bother you. We're just across the street from each other. Just let Ningning get it herself. Sit down and have some water."

"No need, uncle and aunt, I'll go back first."

"Mom and Dad, I'm going back to my room first," Lu Youning picked up her textbook and went back to her room. Sitting on the stool, Lu Youning thought about how she felt about Jiang Wenyu right now.

In her previous life, like every other young woman with a budding love, she too had a boy who captivated her entire youth. How could one describe him? Clean, aloof, and cool.

Whenever Jiang Wenyu appeared, her eyes were drawn to him. He was handsome, had good grades, and in short, Lu Youning admired and envied him.

Once upon a time, they could be considered friends, but they lost contact after graduating from high school.

When she heard from him again, he had become the head of a successful company, while she was just an ordinary worker.

But Lu Youning did not become greedy for him because of her rebirth. Because in this life, the most important thing for her was to study hard, get into a good university, make a lot of money, and let her parents and herself live the happy life they wanted.

As for love, let’s talk about it after we have enough bread.

At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time. Lu Youning quickly got out of bed, changed her clothes, and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash up.

She tied her hair into a low ponytail, took her cell phone, and walked downstairs while opening the English listening program she had downloaded yesterday.

After a quick stretch downstairs, she jogged through the neighborhood, listening to her hearing aid. After a few laps, Lu Youning was breathless. She had no athletic talent, and every time she finished a run, she ended up breathing through her mouth, feeling the pain in her chest.

In her previous life, after she went to college, she had no intention of exercising. After work, she would lie in bed and browse her phone. Gradually, the feeling of work became stronger and stronger, and her body also became bigger and bigger.

She stopped and found a stone bench to rest, thinking to herself: I'll just run a few laps today, take it slow, after all, I haven't exercised in years. I'll get better if I keep doing it.

After her morning run, she stopped by a breakfast shop near the community to buy breakfast.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides of the street, casting patches of light on the cobblestone road of this old street.

At the entrance of the breakfast shop, steam and aroma intertwine, announcing the beginning of the day. This place is like the heart of the city, beating with a warm rhythm and providing energy for these busy people.

A stray cat from the street corner came over following the scent. It squatted at the door of the store, meowing and looking inside the store with expectant eyes.

"Boss lady, give me two servings of xiaolongbao, five siomai, and three cups of soy milk, and pack them up for me," Lu Youning shouted.

"Okay, it will be ready soon." The proprietress responded with a smile, her hands moving non-stop.

At the table next to them, several primary school students sat together, eating hot buns and discussing interesting things in school. Their childish laughter echoed in the air.

After a while, Lu Youning paid the bill and walked home with breakfast. When he got home, his parents were already awake.

Mother Lu said gently, "Did you get up early to exercise today? Go change your clothes quickly. After breakfast, we'll go sign up for the cram school. I asked my friends about it yesterday, and we'll sign up when it looks good."

Lu Youning said okay, went back to the room to change her wet clothes, quickly ate breakfast, and went out with Lu's mother.

Entering the cram school lobby, there were already several parents standing or sitting. Some were perusing brochures, while others were discussing with the counselors.

After discussion, Lu Youning chose the one-to-many tutoring holiday intensive course, which has four classes per week, each lasting two hours, and costs 2 yuan per hour.

Three days later, Lu Youning received a text message informing her that she had been accepted into No. 1 Middle School. Her parents were overjoyed, and her father immediately called home to share the good news. His excitement was palpable.

Mother Lu said to Lu Youning, "I'll call your brother and make him happy too."

"Hey, Huaiyu, your sister was admitted to No. 1 Middle School." His tone revealed excitement.

Lu Huaiyu's delighted voice came from the other side: "Ningning is great, and she performed exceptionally well in the high school entrance exam. I'll give her a red envelope later, and she can buy whatever she likes!

Lu Youning quickly replied, "Brother, you are so kind. Thank you, brother."

Mother Lu told Lu Huaiyu to rest more at school and take care of his health before hanging up the phone. In the evening, Mother Lu made a sumptuous meal for Lu Youning to celebrate.

……

As the days passed, Lu Youning would get up early to run and stand against the wall to recite for half an hour without fail.

Go to class when you have classes, and read books and do exercises on your own when you don’t have classes.

In the afternoon, I practice yoga and strength training for an hour, and then continue doing exercises.

After dinner, I watched TED English talks and took notes.

Of course, Lu Youning also needs to relax, and her relaxation time is watching English movies and practicing calligraphy.

Speaking of calligraphy, I have to start with the amulets that my grandparents asked for some time ago.

That day, grandma went to the temple to ask for a peace talisman for her family. A master handed a small pendant to grandma and said that the pendant was destined to be with her eldest granddaughter and that giving it to her would ensure her safety.

That night when she put it on, the pendant on Lu Youning's neck emitted a faint light, which then entered her forehead.

When Lu Youning woke up the next day, he inexplicably had a lot of calligraphy knowledge in his mind, from how to choose a brush to learning basic strokes, from sitting posture and pen holding to imitating copybooks.

The additional brush-holding techniques and other calligraphy types that emerged in Lu Youning's mind told him that he was not dreaming.

Lu Youning sighed, "I've been reborn with a cheat code, that's too good to be true. Could it be that my mission after rebirth is to promote traditional culture?"

"I know how to write calligraphy with my brain, but I don't know if I can do it with my hands."

Then, she thought about the calligraphy structures in her mind and wrote a few words casually on the notebook. Lu Youning was immediately shocked. Could such beautiful words be written by her?

I sat there for a long time before I realized that I should go for a morning run. Then, when I changed my clothes and prepared to go for a run, I found that the small pendant on my neck was missing. I searched the room but couldn't find it.

After several days of research, I found out that the jade pendant was a mustard seed space, which contained many paintings, calligraphy manuscripts, etc.

Once the pendant is opened, it disappears into the mind. The consciousness can enter the space to learn, but the contents cannot be retrieved.

After that day, in addition to studying and exercising, Lu Youning would set aside some time every day to practice calligraphy.

Because there are many types of calligraphy, including regular script, running script, official script, cursive script, etc., Lu Youning chose the small regular script and running script among the regular scripts, which are easier to practice.

There are two reasons. One is that the extra calligraphy knowledge in my mind has changed my handwriting. I don’t practice normally, and I can’t explain to my family and friends how I can write suddenly.

Secondly, it's a good hobby besides studying, which can improve one's character. Maybe in the future, I can occasionally earn some extra money and work as a pen replacement in Hengdian.

Lu Youning was very busy throughout the holiday.

Lu's parents were happy at first, but later they worried she might develop learning problems, so they bought her all kinds of supplements, including milk, walnuts, and soups to nourish her body.

I also took her back to my hometown to visit my grandparents and relax.

After two months of persistence, Lu Youning had studied all the textbooks for each subject in the third year of junior high school and the first year of high school. The effect was very good, and his notes became thicker and thicker.

To her surprise, she had grown 2 centimeters taller, which was great. She was finally 1.6 meters tall. She weighed 45 kg, which was still a small potato in the south, but she didn't expect much. She just wanted another 3 centimeters.

Lu Youning thinks it is not excessive to ask for one centimeter of growth each year during the three years of high school, but whether one grows taller depends on fate.

Thanks to yoga and strength training, Lu Youning's limbs have become slender and well-proportioned, with smooth lines. Her slightly hunched chest problem has also disappeared, her posture has improved, her acne has disappeared, and her overall temperament has improved, making her more beautiful.
