Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

On their way back.

Li Jianjian asked curiously, "By the way, class monitor, how did you remember me?"

"I'm not some class officer, you don't remember everyone in the class, do you?"

"No, not really... it just so happens that you're one of the people I remember."

Qi Mingyue shook her head and explained.

In fact, Qi Mingyue was able to remember Li Jianjian only because Li Jianjian and Ji Yuan were close.

Almost everyone in Class 6 of Grade 11 remembers Ji Yuan.

After all, he was handsome and had good grades, so it was hard not to remember him.

This led many people to remember Ji Yuan's little follower.

"Okay~"

Li Jianjian nodded after hearing Qi Mingyue's answer.

As they talked, they quickly arrived at the classroom and returned to their seats.

The two had barely entered the classroom when the class bell rang.

On the second day of school, their teacher, Ms. Huang, walked in, carrying a stack of test papers.

"We're going to have a diagnostic test today."

Teacher Huang spoke as she entered.

Li Jianjian was immediately stunned.

What kind of school is this? They have exams on the second day of school!

"Come on, class monitor, hand out the test papers."

Teacher Huang looked at Qi Mingyue and said.

Qi Mingyue immediately got up to get the test papers and distribute them.

Teacher Huang looked around the classroom and her eyes immediately fell on Ji Yuan's empty seat.

She quickly asked, "Li Jianjian, why isn't Ji Yuan here?"

Teacher Huang has a student roster; he's seen it, and the parents of Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian are listed as the same person.

Although he didn't know their family situation, he reasonably guessed that they might be half-siblings.

"Teacher, my brother has something to do and may be a little late."

When Li Jianjian saw the teacher asking her a question, she began to explain.

"Row."

Teacher Huang nodded and said nothing more.

That's because of Ji Yuan; if it were someone with poor grades, Teacher Huang wouldn't be so lenient.

About twenty minutes passed after the test papers were handed out before Ji Yuan arrived at the classroom.

"Teacher Huang, I'm sorry, I was late because of something."

After Ji Yuan entered, he looked at Teacher Huang on the podium and said.

Teacher Huang said with a smile, "It's alright, hurry up and go to your seat to do the test."

"Ah."

Ji Yuan nodded and then walked to her seat.

After Ji Yuan sat down, Li Jianjian leaned closer and whispered, "This homeroom teacher is so materialistic."

"That's only natural. Stop chatting and get back to your work."

Ji Yuan smiled.

Teachers like Teacher Huang are the majority of teachers.

There's nothing inherently wrong with these kinds of teachers, because it's perfectly normal for them to prefer students with good grades.

As long as the teacher doesn't target students with poor grades, they can be considered a qualified teacher in terms of character.

Teachers who can treat all students completely equally are a minority.

……

Over the next two days, all classes in the first year of high school took a diagnostic test.

The placement test at Yiming Middle School covered quite a few subjects.

Nine subjects: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Politics, and History.

This has left many students bewildered.

After all, most students haven't looked at their books since the middle school entrance exam, and with several subjects to take at once, their minds are a bit foggy the whole time.

Especially biology and geography, which they had already taken in the second year of junior high school and hadn't looked at any books on these subjects for a year.

However, this was no problem for Ji Yuan at all.

He answered the questions incredibly quickly.

It's fortunate that his deskmate is Li Jianjian, so he's already used to it. If it were someone else, he might have been influenced by him and driven to the brink of collapse.

……

The third day of school.

Formal classes began in the first year of high school.

As soon as class started, Ji Yuan noticed that Li Jianjian's eyes began to look somewhat unfocused.

When Ji Yuan noticed that Li Jianjian was about to lose focus, he didn't hesitate to reach out and flick Li Jianjian's arm.

It didn't take much force, but it still made Li Jianjian wake up immediately from the pain.

Li Jianjian looked at Ji Yuan, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

If it weren't for class, she would definitely teach Ji Yuan a lesson.

after class.

Li Jianjian immediately snapped, "Brother, why did you flick me in class?!"

"I think you're getting distracted."

Ji Yuan explained.

"Sigh, studying is so tiring."

Li Jianjian sighed and said.

"Don't forget, you said you wanted to apply to the Central Academy of Fine Arts."

I'd even give up taking the entrance exams for Tsinghua and Peking University just to be with you.

So if I pass the exam and you don't, then you're as good as dead.

Ji Yuan looked at Li Jianjian and said with a smile on his face.

This was the first time Ji Yuan had openly stated that she chose to apply to the Central Academy of Fine Arts for Li Jianjian's sake.

Li Jianjian muttered shyly, "Didn't you say you applied to the Central Academy of Fine Arts because you love painting and wood carving...?"

"Don't tell me you believe this nonsense."

None of Li's father and the others would believe it.

"Oh dear, I was wrong, I was wrong. I will definitely study hard and get into the Central Academy of Fine Arts."

As Li Jianjian spoke, she struck a pose as if making a vow.

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on you."

Ji Yuan smiled and nodded.

He didn't expect Li Jianjian to have great grades, since a score of 400 or so in the academic subjects would be enough for art students.

So, I can't possibly score less than 400 on the college entrance exam.

Given Li Jianjian's personality, it's hard to say what will happen if she's not supervised.

……

In the afternoon, during the last period, it was a self-study period.

Li Jianjian fell asleep on her desk during class.

Ji Yuan took out her sketchbook and began practicing drawing.

He practices whenever he has free time, hoping to advance to level three as soon as possible.

Although a level two certificate was sufficient for the art exam, he wanted to do better.

……

The bell rang, and Li Jianjian woke up groggily, then began to pack her things.

As the two packed their things and prepared to leave, Qi Mingyue quickly came over and stopped them.

"Squad leader? Is there something you need?"

Li Jianjian saw Qi Mingyue and asked.

"Um, Li Jianjian, Ji Yuan, you helped me before, can I treat you to a meal?"

Qi Mingyue looked at the two of them and asked.

Qi Mingyue is somewhat introverted and timid.

She struggled for a long time with how to thank Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian.

Finally, remembering that her mother often treated people to meals, she stopped the two of them, intending to thank them by treating them to a meal as well.

"Okay, I want ice cream."

Li Jianjian didn't stand on ceremony and said with a smile.

"Hmm! A Häagen-Dazs recently opened near the school, is that okay?"

Qi Mingyue asked happily.

"I'm OK."

Li Jianjian nodded.

Qi Mingyue then looked at Ji Yuan.

"I have no problem with that either, um... can I bring my family?"

"Yes, could you bring my two older brothers along? One of them is the one you met the other day."

Li Jianjian immediately replied.

"can."

Qi Mingyue immediately nodded in agreement.

When are you available?

"That's it now."

"Let's go then, wait a moment."

As Qi Mingyue spoke, she immediately began packing her things.
