Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Zhou Min's previously low spirits vanished instantly. She quickly raised her head and solemnly assured Teacher Gong, "Teacher Gong, don't worry, I promise to send it to you before the official start of the semester!"

Zhou Min figured that after military training, it would be October 1st, and school wouldn't officially start until after National Day. There was still a little over a week until then, and if she didn't go back for National Day, she could still catch up, right?

"Okay, I hope I won't be so childish this time!"

"I promise I won't be childish," Zhou Min said confidently on the surface, but inwardly she was utterly disgusted. Was she kidding? She'd only just entered university and hadn't even started classes yet! Being able to write a functional, working program was already quite an achievement, okay?!

"Childish! How is it childish? Others can't even write this!"

The two were lost in their own thoughts the whole way and didn't speak to each other again.

After leaving the commercial street, the traffic became smooth, and we arrived at the school in no time.

Because Mr. Gong's car was a school vehicle, he drove all the way to the entrance of Zhou Min's dormitory.

The rain outside the car hadn't stopped, and it even seemed to be getting heavier. Zhou Min clutched her half-wet shirt tightly and looked at Teacher Gong awkwardly, saying, "Teacher Gong, I'll take this shirt back with me and return it to you after I wash it."

"No need, leave it in the car, I'll take it back and wash it myself," Gong Yu said, reaching into her bag on the back seat and pulling out an umbrella, which she handed to Zhou Min.

Zhou Min took the umbrella blankly, then looked at Teacher Gong and asked, "Teacher Gong, if you give me the umbrella, how are you going to get back?"

Gong Yu replied coldly, "The garage goes directly upstairs, so don't worry. Hurry back! It's getting late."

Zhou Min also realized what was happening and quickly reached out to unbutton the clothes, preparing to return them to Teacher Gong.

Gong Yu was taken aback when she saw Zhou Mi unbuttoning his shirt. She immediately turned her head to the opposite direction and said, "You can put it back on first. You don't need to wash it. Just bring it to me next time."

Zhou Min was taken aback by Teacher Gong's words. Hadn't she just told her to leave her clothes in the car? Why was she being told to put them back now?

Zhou Min raised her face in confusion to look at Teacher Gong, but could only see the back of his head.

It was only after a long pause that Zhou Min finally realized what she had just done.

Zhou Min blushed and embarrassed, quickly opened the car door and got out, forgetting to even say goodbye to Teacher Gong.

The rain outside was heavy, and even though Zhou Min was holding an umbrella, a lot of rainwater still splashed in from the side.

Zhou Min's half-dry skirt was immediately soaked again, and she quickly grabbed an umbrella and ran into the girls' dormitory.

After entering the dormitory lobby, Zhou Min finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, she saw that Teacher Gong's car had already turned around and was slowly driving away.

Zhou Min took a deep breath and thought, although she had been soaked in the rain for so long today, which was terrible and pitiful, the only good thing was that she happened to run into Teacher Gong.

It seems that heaven is still looking out for me; indeed, girls who smile a lot are lucky!

Thinking about this made Zhou Min feel even happier.

When Zhou Min returned to her dormitory, the others saw her wearing a men's shirt and smiling broadly.

Upon seeing Zhou Min's shirt, Mao Yating asked in surprise, "Zhou Min, is that your boyfriend's shirt?"

Zhou Min suppressed her smile and said, "No!"

Although Zhou Min's mood has improved now, she hasn't forgotten the scene of being left out in the rain.

Moreover, after these three people returned, even though they knew it was raining so hard outside and they hadn't come back yet so late, they didn't even call me once.

Zhou Min felt a chill run down her spine at the thought.

With a stern face, Zhou Min took a few changes of clothes from the closet and immediately rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.

I've been soaked in the rain for so long today, and I feel extremely uncomfortable all wet.

It wasn't until after she took a hot shower and changed into dry clothes that Zhou Min finally felt alive again.

"Zhou Min, how did you get back?" Mao Yating asked, coming closer after seeing that Zhou Min had finished showering.

She couldn't help but be curious about Zhou Min's previous appearance.

"I took a taxi back," Zhou Min replied absentmindedly while drying her hair with a towel.

She didn't want to talk too much with Mao Yating, so she gave a perfunctory answer.

"Then where did you get the clothes you're wearing?" Mao Yating persisted, still unwilling to give up.

"I bought it myself at the mall. It was raining so hard outside, and I couldn't find an umbrella, so I just bought myself a coat to wear," Zhou Min said casually.

Mao Yating finally felt embarrassed and stammered to Zhou Min, "I'm sorry, Zhou Min, I just happened to run into my high school classmate today, but he only had three empty seats on his bus, so we didn't tell you."

Jiang Fei took this opportunity to pour Zhou Min a cup of hot water and said, "Zhou Min, drink some hot water, be careful not to catch a cold."

In fact, Jiang Fei started to regret it after she came back, especially as it got later and Zhou Min still hadn't returned. Many terrifying news stories about society floated into her mind.

The longer I waited, the more anxious I became. Several times I thought of calling Zhou Min to ask her where she was.

However, Mao Yating and Feng Pinling persuaded him otherwise, and now seeing Zhou Min return soaking wet, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After all, Zhou Min had always been very good to him.

Looking at the hot water in her cup, Zhou Min lowered her eyes and wondered: Are there any friends in this dormitory worth making?

After drinking the hot water, Zhou Min checked the time and it was almost 10:30. She decided to take advantage of the half hour before bedtime to turn on her computer and look at the five versions of the program that she had sent to Teacher Gong.

I hope to use my time before bed to think about the plan carefully. If I'm lucky, I might find the answer in my dreams!

Before Zhou Min could even sort out her thoughts, it was already 11 o'clock, lights out time.

Zhou Min's biological clock is very regular now. If there is nothing special going on, she will prepare to go to sleep at 11 p.m.

While Zhou Min was sleeping, her roommates were still playing games. Lately, they had been playing until the wee hours of the morning every day, which annoyed Zhou Min quite a bit.

The next morning, after Zhou Min finished breakfast, she and her roommates went to the assembly point. When they arrived, they found that everyone had arrived early, and the girls were discussing in groups of three or five what to give to the instructors.

Zhou Min knew that the military had clear rules against instructors accepting anything from students or engaging in any inappropriate behavior with them. Therefore, Zhou Min was not interested in this at all.

While everyone was still discussing, the instructors arrived in groups, and Zhou Min's bright eyes were fixed on them.

Whether at school or at work, Zhou Min is surrounded by either tech geeks or white-collar elites. At the gym, she mostly sees middle-aged people with beer bellies trying to lose weight, as well as some fitness instructors who think they are very humorous.

This was the first time Zhou Min, a seasoned aesthetics enthusiast, had witnessed such a combination of strength and beauty up close. This was the charm of masculinity, and Zhou Min felt she could already imagine the happiness of their future girlfriends.

Zhou Min thought that when she found a boyfriend in the future, she wanted to find a handsome and masculine soldier like their instructor. Not only would he give her a tremendous sense of security, but just looking at him would be a pleasure.
