Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Lu Yixiao sighed again: "I just finished moving my textbooks in the evening, and I have to move to the dormitory tonight. I think my hands will be in shambles tomorrow."

Lu Youning also looked helpless: "It's okay, after we move we won't have to climb such high stairs, and it's much closer to the cafeteria and classrooms."

Lu Yixiao nodded slightly and replied, "That's right, there are gains and losses. But after all this trouble, I have to sleep late tonight."

As the school bell rang, students poured out of the classroom like a tide and rushed towards the dormitory. Lu Youning and Lu Yixiao walked side by side, and saw that the faster students had already started carrying their luggage downstairs.

Lu Youning could imagine how crowded the stairwell would be when everyone was moving things together, with some going up and some going down.

After returning to the dormitory, Lu Youning and Lu Yixiao quickly packed their clothes, stuffing everything they could into their suitcases. They planned to sort out their clothes in their new dorm.

The two of them made three trips back and forth before finally finishing moving everything. Arriving at the new dorm, they wiped the beds again with rags. After all this hard work, everyone was sweating.

By the time they finished washing up, it was lights out. Some of the slower roommates were only halfway through their showers and had no choice but to continue washing up in the dark.

Lu Youning lay on the bed, his consciousness entered the space and began a new day of calligraphy practice.

Because she had moved things several times today, her arms were a little sore, and she couldn't hold the pen as steadily as usual. As a result, the practice ended half an hour later than usual.

The next day, Lu Youning was panting heavily and got out of bed to wake Lu Yixiao. After washing up, they went to the cafeteria to buy pancakes for breakfast and ate them while walking to the classroom.

Lu Yixiao chewed the pancake in her mouth and complained, "My arms are so sore today. Ningning, are your hands sore?"

Lu Youning took a bite of the pancake and replied, "It's okay, a little bit."

"I don't know how you manage to get up at 5:30 every morning. Lately, I've been getting up early like you, and I feel like I'm seriously sleep deprived. I can't stand it any more."

Lu Youning smiled and said, "I'm used to it. I was just like you at the beginning."

The two returned to the classroom and sat down, eating pancakes and reading. Lu Youning put breakfast aside and took their water cups to the water dispenser to fill them.

After Lu Youning came back, Lu Yixiao quickly took the water cup and said gratefully, "Thank you, Ningning. I'm a little thirsty after eating the pancakes."

After breakfast, they both settled into their study mode. Lu Youning pulled out her English dictionary, planning to memorize thirty English words and write two reading comprehension passages this morning.

……

Time flew by unnoticed. Final exams arrived in the blink of an eye. The seating arrangement remained the same as before, with freshmen and sophomores sitting cross-legged.

Lu Youning's exam classroom is Class 1, Liberal Arts, Grade 12, and Lu Yixiao is in the class next door.

At this moment, the two were standing outside the corridor of Class 1, Liberal Arts, Grade 12, chatting. When the exam preparation bell rang, Lu Youning hurriedly cheered Lu Yixiao up, "Xiaoxiao, keep going."

Lu Yixiao nodded vigorously and responded, "You too, Ningning. We all need to perform well."

Soon, the three-day exams were over, which meant the first semester of high school came to an end.

Lu Youning walked out of the classroom and saw Lu Yixiao already waiting outside the corridor. Seeing that she was in a good mood, she asked, "You seem to be in a good mood. I guess you did well in the geography exam, right?"

"Well, thanks to you for highlighting the key points for me, and also for the local time calculation, the solar altitude, and the solar altitude at noon that you asked me to review the night before last.

"Just change the data for those two problems; everything else remains the same. I'm so lucky." Lu Yixiao waved her hands as she walked, clearly excited.

Back in the classroom, many students were checking answers together.

Suddenly, a classmate exclaimed, "What did you choose for question eight of that multiple-choice test? I think I chose the wrong one."

"Which question?"

"That's the one that calculates the temperature."

"I chose C for this question, 14c."

"Alas, I chose the wrong one. I chose B."

Lu Yixiao heard their discussion and asked Lu Youning, "Ningning, what did you choose?"

"I choose C."

During evening self-study, Luo Mingdian came to the class and announced, "Tomorrow is the holiday. We will finish grading all the exams in three days, and the city rankings will also be ready.

There will be a parent-teacher conference at the end of the semester, scheduled for three days from now, on July 16th."

He then continued, "I emphasize again, students, please be careful when you go home tomorrow, do not take unlicensed vehicles, and cherish your life.

Please pay more attention to personal safety when traveling during the holidays. Okay, that's enough, we can dismiss now."

After Brother Dian left, most of the students were still chatting in groups of three or four.

Some students who felt that they did poorly in the exam began to worry about the parent-teacher meeting, while students who did well in the exam began to think about where to go for fun during the summer vacation.

Therefore, human sorrows and joys are not shared.

Lu Yixiao was also a little worried, wondering if her parents had time to attend a parent-teacher meeting for her.

"Ningning, who in your family will come to the parent-teacher conference?"

Lu Youning said uncertainly, "I don't know. I'll go back and ask them who wants to come."

"Your grades are so good, you deserve to be praised by all uncles and aunts who come."

"What about you? Is it your father or your mother who came?" Lu Youning asked curiously.

"They are all very busy. I don't know if they can come to the parent-teacher conference. I think my grandfather should come."

Lu Youning patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Uncle and aunt are trying to provide you with better living conditions. Don't blame them."

Lu Yixiao replied in a muffled voice, "I know."

The next morning, Dad Lu came on his scooter to pick up Lu Youning and take her home.

Lu Youning, wearing a helmet, sat in the back seat of the tram, heading home with his father. Along the way, his father asked Lu Youning about his exams, and Lu Youning answered them one by one.

When they were almost home, Lu Youning brought up the parents' meeting. "Dad, who's going to the meeting, you or Mom?"

Dad Lu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go. I'll take the day off. Your mom will go to work."

"Okay, anyone of you can go."

Three days passed quickly, and it was time for the parents' meeting. Dad Lu came to school early and found Lu Youning's seat in the classroom.

A short while later, Lu Yixiao's grandfather arrived. Although old, he looked energetic. He smiled and greeted Lu's father, and the two began to chat casually.

Lu Youning and Lu Yixiao were standing outside the corridor chatting when they happened to meet Ruan Fuxi and her mother walking up.

The classrooms of Science Class 1 and Liberal Arts Class 1 are adjacent. Ruan Fuxi smiled and nodded to them, and prepared to go to the classroom of Science Class 1.

Sharp-eyed mother Ruan saw her son smiling at the two girls and asked, "Are they your classmates?"

Lu Yixiao smiled and replied, "Hello, Auntie. Ruan Fuxi and I were both in Class 8 of Grade 11, but we are no longer in the same class after the division into arts and science."

Lu Youning quickly greeted her, "Hello, Auntie!"

Mother Ruan looked at the two well-behaved girls with a kind smile on her face. "I see, that's how it is. It's quite fate. Which class are you in now?"
