"These strawberries are very sweet, have you eaten any?"

"This was brought especially for you, eat it quickly."

“I can’t finish it, let’s eat it together!” Gu Chuxia said.

"Alright then, I'll go with you." Li Jingjing smiled and moved closer.

Gu Chuxia picked up a strawberry and popped it into Li Jingjing's mouth. After Li Jingjing ate it, she casually said, "There are so many new students today. Time flies. We're already in our second year of high school."

"Yes, the college entrance examination is one step closer to us."

The two ate strawberries and chatted about things at school.

The next morning, as usual, everyone started with a morning run, followed by breakfast, and then began their morning classes.

At lunchtime in the cafeteria, Gu Chuxia and Li Jingjing sat down facing each other.

Looking at the combination on Gu Chuxia's plate, he said, "Chuxia, how do you always manage to make a good mix of meat and vegetables?"

Gu Chuxia glanced at the food on her plate: "I didn't pay attention. I just habitually pair a meat dish with a vegetable dish every time I order one."

"I like to eat meat, I don't like to eat vegetables," Li Jingjing said, wrinkling her nose.

"Eating a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables will prevent it from feeling greasy and will also provide a more nutritionally balanced meal," Gu Chuxia said casually.

She doesn't prefer meat or vegetables; she only finds food delicious when it's balanced. Eating too much of one thing makes her feel tired of it.

Li Jingjing said with a smile, "I can't live without meat!"

Gu Chuxia didn't comment on the fact that everyone has different tastes; she just wanted to do what she liked.

For a while after the start of the semester, Gu Chuxia was busy studying and didn't pay attention to anything else.

After lunch, Gu Chuxia went back to her dormitory to retrieve her belongings before heading to the teaching building.

Li Jingjing didn't go back to the dormitory with her. When Gu Chuxia reached the second-floor stairwell, she saw someone coming out of the office.

As soon as Qian Sanyi came out, he met the eyes of the people outside. The two did not know each other and looked away after a glance.

Gu Chuxia walked towards the second-year classroom. Qian Sanyi was not going in the same direction as her. After she left, he turned around and glanced back.

Xiao Qi, who had been watching the whole thing, spoke up: "Host, the male lead turned around to look at you!"

"Does he know me?" Gu Chuxia asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, host, should I go check it out?"

Gu Chuxia waved her hand: "Whatever."

Gu Chuxia was in class in the afternoon when Xiao Qi found out about the news. It didn't speak until the bell rang.

"Host, I've found it!"

Gu Chuxia found the book she needed for the next class and casually replied, "Tell me!"

"It must be because I saw the host at the bus stop last time, so he left an impression."

"Oh, I understand." Gu Chuxia nodded.

Xiao Qi gossiped, "Host, you said you and the male lead seem to have a special connection. You're not going to have a romance with a younger man in this world, are you?"

Gu Chuxia shook her head: "I don't know, let's see how it goes!"

She always takes a laissez-faire approach to these things, only considering them when she's interested.

That day, Gu Chuxia was called to the teacher's office, and she walked out of the classroom.

As soon as I arrived at the office door, I heard voices coming from inside.

"The math competition is this weekend, are you ready?"

It was the voice of a middle-aged male teacher. Gu Chuxia walked in and saw a boy in a school uniform with his back to the door.

His voice rang out: "Ready!"

After listening for a couple of minutes, Gu Chuxia walked up to her teacher and said, "Teacher!"

"Early summer is here. I called you here to tell you that the math competition is tomorrow. You need to rest well today so you'll be energetic tomorrow."

Gu Chuxia nodded: "Okay, teacher!"

The teacher from the neighboring high school and Qian Sanyi also heard the two talking.

Qian Sanyi turned his head and saw Gu Chuxia, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The first-year high school teacher noticed him looking over there and said, "By the way, over there is Gu Chuxia, a second-year high school student who is participating in the math competition. You two are both top scorers in the high school entrance exam, so you can learn from each other."

The high school teacher smiled and said, "Yes, you're all going to participate in a math competition tomorrow. People from the same school can exchange ideas."

Gu Chuxia looked over and nodded to Qian San.

Qian Sanyi also gave a polite smile and said, "My name is Qian Sanyi. Let's exchange ideas and learn together sometime."

"Okay, you can ask me any questions you have!"

"it is good."

The two left the office and headed towards their respective classrooms.

After finishing their classes in the morning, Li Jingjing was having lunch in the cafeteria when she talked to Gu Chuxia.

"Early Summer, are you going home today?"

Gu Chuxia shook her head: "No, it's too early tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have time to get home."

"You finally get a weekend off, and you still have to go to participate in a competition. It's true that those who get good results are hardworking."

"You get up early and go to bed late every day, and you insist on attending classes and doing your homework every day. You're not lazy."

Li Jingjing said with a smile, "What you said has instantly comforted me."

As the two were talking, Qian Sanyi took his tray and sat down at the table behind Gu Chuxia.

Li Jingjing casually looked up and saw the person's face. She lowered her voice in surprise and said, "Chu Xia, you're diagonally behind me!"

After she finished speaking, she pointed with her finger.

Gu Chuxia turned her head and looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Isn't this the person we saw at the mall before? We were right, they really do go to the same school!"

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence. He's also going to participate in a math competition tomorrow." Gu Chuxia nodded.

"What! He's such a good student? How do you know him?"

"I met her through a teacher in the office; she was a top student in her first year of high school."

"A top student's younger brother, and handsome too. You're participating in the competition together, Chu Xia, hmm?" Li Jingjing blinked, hinting.

Understanding her meaning, Gu Chuxia smiled and said, "Right now, I'm only interested in studying, as you know!"

Li Jingjing persisted: "You can lay the foundation in advance, get to know each other."

"We'll talk about it later, let's eat."

"Okay." Li Jingjing sighed. She had read too many novels, and whenever she saw handsome men and beautiful women, she couldn't help but want to ship them.

On the weekend, Gu Chuxia got up early in the morning, got ready, and went to the school gate to meet up.

She called her grandmother yesterday and said she wouldn't be going back last night, but would be returning this afternoon.

When Gu Chuxia got on the bus, there weren't many people there yet, so she casually found a seat and sat down.

Looking out the window, she yawned, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Host, haven't you had enough sleep?"

Gu Chuxia shook her head: "When I was studying, I never got enough sleep."

As she spoke, she leaned against the car window and closed her eyes to rest.

Students from nearby schools gathered at their school, and quite a few people arrived one after another.

Gu Chuxia didn't pay attention and waited for the car to leave.

Qian Sanyi came up with his schoolbag on his back and saw the people sitting in the seats.

He paused for a moment, then sat down next to Gu Chuxia.

Feeling someone sit down next to her, Gu Chuxia opened her eyes and looked over.

She asked, "Qian Sanyi?"
