Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

After reading the manuscript, the sun was already setting, so Pan Lanfei suggested going home.

After Pan Lanfei left, Lu Youning returned to her room to do her homework, thinking that she would finish it first and then review it in the evening.

Although Brother Dian said that the homework was not much, the homework for each subject added up to a lot, plus he had to review the knowledge he had learned before.

Lu Youning usually goes to bed around 11 o'clock every night.

The seven-day National Day holiday was over in a flash. Lu Youning looked at the weather and saw it might rain. So she put her umbrella in her schoolbag and prepared to leave for school.

When I went out, the sky had gradually become gloomy, and dark clouds continued to gather like a surging tide, as if a big storm was about to come.

Lu Youning quickly quickened her pace and walked towards the bus stop. Fortunately, less than two minutes after she arrived, the No. 9 bus slowly drove over.

Shortly after we got in the car, a strong wind began to blow in. The trees along the road swayed violently in the wind, and the leaves rustled, as if issuing an uneasy warning.

Then, bean-sized raindrops began to fall. At first, there were only a few sparse drops, and then the raindrops hit the car window violently, making a crackling sound, as if playing an exciting symphony.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a downpour. Outside the car window, the world seemed to be shrouded in a layer of water, blurring out. Pedestrians on the street ran for shelter.

Finally, the rain subsided a bit as the school came into view. The bus arrived at the bus stop near the school. Lu Youning shouldered her backpack, carefully stepped out of the bus, and quickly opened her umbrella.

She looked back and saw Ruan Fuxi getting off another bus. He ran straight to the platform to avoid the rain, obviously going out without an umbrella.

Lu Youning's eyes followed him, as if she could sense his gaze. Ruan Fuxi looked up and saw Lu Youning. She smiled and pointed at the umbrella in her hand, motioning Ruan Fuxi to come over.

Ruan Fuxi was startled for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on his face. He quickly ran out of the platform and came under Lu Youning's umbrella.

Ruan Fuxi reached out to take the umbrella and said, "Let me take it."

Lu Youning looked at his 1.80-meter height and realized it was really inconvenient for him to hold the umbrella by himself, so he let go of the umbrella and replied, "Okay, thank you."

Then, the two walked towards the school together.

Lu Youning asked with concern: "Why don't you bring an umbrella?"

Ruan Fuxi replied: "I left home this morning and haven't returned since, so I didn't bring an umbrella."

The rain had eased slightly by then, but it was still heavy. To avoid getting wet, the two of them had to stay very close to each other.

Lu Youning could clearly feel the warmth coming from Ruan Fuxi. The faint, refreshing scent lingered around her, making her feel particularly refreshed. She unconsciously sniffed a few more times.

It was a moment later that she realized her action, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

In a panic, she quickly turned her head away and cast her gaze towards the purple gold flowers in the distance, trying to cover up her gaffe.

Ruan Fuxi keenly noticed Lu Youning's blushing cheeks, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile, his eyes still focused on the road ahead.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting a strand of Lu Youning's hair and gently brushing across Ruan Fuxi's jawline.

He tilted his head slightly, staring at the top of the girl's head beside him, and seemed to smell the faint fragrance of shampoo.

Ruan Fuxi gently carried her schoolbag and led her to avoid puddles on the road. "Watch the road, little idiot," he whispered softly, his tone full of tenderness and doting.

Lu Youning stumbled and replied obediently, "Oh."

Lu Youning suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, have the dates for your math and physics competition finals been set?"

Ruan Fuxi nodded slightly. "Yes, it's settled. The math competition will be on November 15th, and the physics competition will be on November 26th."

Lu Youning asked with some concern: "It's quite close in time, do you have time to train?"

Ruan Fuxi replied, "I'm a bit busy indeed. I've been training all afternoon and evening, and I didn't have time to rest during the National Day holiday."

Lu Youning pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question in her mind: "Are you going to be admitted through competition?"

Ruan Fuxi lowered her head and looked at the girl beside her. She said softly, "No, I want to study computer science in college. What about you? What major do you want to study?"

Lu Youning thought about it and shook his head, "I don't know yet, maybe he'll study Chinese Language and Literature."

As they were talking, the two of them had already reached the girls' dormitory building.

Seeing that the rain was still falling, Lu Youning said, "I'm at the dormitory building. I'll lend you my umbrella." After that, she ran into the dormitory building.

Ruan Fuxi looked in the direction where Lu Youning had disappeared, a gentle touch in his eyes. He looked up at his blue floral umbrella, then calmly held it open as he walked back to his dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, he found a clothes hanger and hung the umbrella on the clothes rack in the bathroom.

Gu Siyuan, who was on the upper bunk, knew who the umbrella belonged to by looking at his cautious expression. Besides, Ruan Fuxi usually didn't accept things from other girls, except for Lu Youning.

Then he started to talk to his roommate Liu Xiangheng, who was sleeping across from him, in a roundabout way, "Look at him, how he cherishes this umbrella. He must be completely in love with it."

Liu Xiangheng agreed, "This umbrella is most likely Lu Youning's. She's probably the only one who can pull our Master Ruan down from the altar."

Another roommate, Zhao Size, said, "However, they are quite a match. One is a liberal arts expert, the other is a science expert. They also look good together."

Ruan Fuxi didn't get annoyed by his roommates' teasing. He picked up the extracurricular book beside his bed and started reading.

……

After the National Day holiday, the students began to enter a state of intense review.

Although there are still more than ten days before the midterm exam, it is still very stressful to take the joint exam with more than a dozen famous high schools in the province.

Moreover, not only students are under pressure, but teachers are also under pressure. The time has come to test the teaching and research results during this period.

This is a competition among the top students in the province. In the eyes of the teachers, this exam can basically show the level of the college entrance examination scores of these more than a dozen schools in two years.

We may be able to predict which school can get more admissions into the top ten or top fifty in the province, and which school has a higher rate of admission to the first-tier universities.

To this end, the school leaders also held several special meetings to discuss how to improve students' learning efficiency and do a good job of review without affecting the normal class progress.

The closer it gets to the exam, the more intense the learning atmosphere becomes.

In the end, Lu Youning often saw some classmates taking English vocabulary or political history books with them even to the bathroom to recite, or heard the sound of classmates reciting while walking on the street.

Even after lights out at night, as soon as the patrolling teachers left, some students would read books under their covers with flashlights.

Lu Youning progressed steadily according to her review plan and made use of all the spare time during the day.

After a day of studying, my brain is very tired. After turning off the lights, I will go into the space and practice calligraphy for half an hour. This allows my brain to relax, and then I will fall asleep quickly.

Soon, the midterm exam was coming. The seating arrangement for this exam was one person per table.
