So what if she's an ordinary girl? She still gets her older brother to fight for the top spot o

While sound asleep, the alarm clock suddenly rang in her ears. It took Zhang Xiaoyu a while to react. With her eyes still closed, she slowly pulled her phone out from under her pillow and coldly turned off the alarm.

After a while, I sat up in bed, squinted at the time on my phone, and saw it was 7:05.

Having early morning classes is incredibly painful because I have to get up very early. And today is even worse, with classes all day!

Zhang Xiaoyu climbed out of bed looking sleepy and saw Xia Yiqing had already finished washing up by the sink and came in with her toothbrush and cup.

Good morning, Yiqing.

"Good morning, hurry up and go wash up." Xia Yiqing made way for her.

"Ah."

While Zhang Xiaoyu was squeezing toothpaste, she could still hear Xia Yiqing calling Zhou Yueling to get up.

Apart from Yiqing, the other three girls in their dorm were not used to waking up early.

Everyone goes to bed quite late; what college student doesn't stay up late? Going to bed at 11 or 12 is considered early. Their school dorms don't turn off the lights on time at night; it's up to the students themselves. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Their dorm usually turns off the lights before midnight, which is neither too early nor too late, and their schedules are quite harmonious. Even if someone has to stay up late, they will turn on their own desk lamp to try not to disturb others' rest.

Zhang Xiaoyu usually puts down her phone and goes to sleep after turning off the lights, but occasionally she can't resist scrolling through her phone a little longer, and before she knows it, it's one or two in the morning. Once she even stayed up all night, but she still felt quite energetic. As a result, she slept through the entire class that day, which scared her so much that she never dared to do it again.

Chen Shiya came out of the bathroom after changing her clothes, while Zhou Yueling was looking in the mirror and combing her hair.

Xia Yiqing got up early and moved quickly. She had already packed her backpack: "I'm all packed. I'll go to the classroom first and save you a seat."

"Okay, thank you, Yiqing." Zhou Yueling hurriedly put down the comb, thanked her, and then went on to do other things.

Zhang Xiaoyu gathered the books she needed for class today, and finally picked up her phone; it was already 7:30.

"We need to hurry."

It takes more than ten minutes to get from the dormitory to the classroom, but luckily the cafeteria is in the middle, so they can also buy a steamed bun while they're there.

There were quite a few students on the road; they all seemed to be poor souls who had classes early in the morning. I even saw some classmates in the cafeteria; we greeted each other and walked away together.

Chen Shiya said breathlessly, "I'm so tired. Today's classroom is on the fifth floor. It feels like we're climbing stairs every day."

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded. She was also of average physical condition, which was reflected in her heavy breathing. "Let me calculate," she said, "The first big class is on the fifth floor, and the next one is on the third floor. I just need to go down the stairs. But I have to climb seven floors to get back to the dorm at noon. Then, I think there's another classroom on the fourth floor for the two afternoon classes. After class, I'll go eat dinner. I need to be full to have the energy to get back to the dorm. Wow, I have to climb 27 floors in the end today."

Chen Shiya: "...That doesn't sound like it will work."

Zhou Yueling: "My legs are about to break from walking!"

When they arrived at the classroom, it was already 7:50, with ten minutes left before class. However, the classroom was only about half full, with the back packed, while the first three rows, the seats closest to the teacher, were still empty.

Xia Yiqing reserved seats for them in the fourth row, which could be considered prime locations.

"You're here! Please have a seat. You all sound very tired," Xia Yiqing said.

"Thank you, Yiqing~ You're so kind~"

"Haha, there are no seats left in the back. People who come after us will have to sit in front of us. I'll feel safe once the first three rows are full."

Zhang Xiaoyu watched as the students rushed into the classroom. Their eyes instinctively scanned the back rows, and they had no choice but to sit in front of her when they couldn't find an empty seat.

Zhang Xiaoyu took out her math book and placed it on her desk. She glanced around instinctively. It was still quite noisy, but a few students who were engrossed in their books stood out. Xia Yiqing was one of them. She had just spoken a few words to them before going back to reading.

Zhang Xiaoyu felt ashamed of herself after reading it, so she quickly opened the book and read it hastily for a few minutes before the teacher arrived.

When I looked up again, the area in front of me was already packed with people.

Zhang Xiaoyu really wanted to be a top student, but her abilities simply didn't allow it. So she settled for at least paying attention in class, but then her mind wandered for a bit and she couldn't understand what the teacher was saying! Why did she get distracted?!

Zhang Xiaoyu was completely bewildered when get out of class ended; she had only grasped half the lesson's content...

The course schedule in university is slightly different from that in high school. All subjects are taught in two consecutive periods, totaling ninety minutes, with a ten-minute break in between.

Zhou Yueling nudged her arm and whispered excitedly, "Look over there."

"What?" Zhang Xiaoyu looked in the direction of the voice, but didn't see anything, just some students sleeping.

This is nothing. Playing on your phone and sleeping are common occurrences in university classrooms, and teachers generally don't care as long as it doesn't affect other students.

However, there aren't many students like this in a classroom with dozens of students. After all, their school is a top-tier university, and most students still maintain the good study habits they had in high school.

"Look, senior Liu Haoyang is bringing milk and biscuits to Feng Qinqin in our class, did you see that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyu looked past the sleeping students she had seen earlier and indeed spotted the two people Zhou Yueling had mentioned, sitting close to the wall.

She wasn't familiar with either of them; their relationship was basically one of occasional nods and smiles when they bumped into each other, perhaps because they were in the same class.

Feng Qinqin is one of the prettiest girls in her class. She made a deep impression when she first went on stage to introduce herself, and her outfit was also very eye-catching.

She was one of the most popular girls in the class. Of course, their good friend Yiqing was also very popular.

As for Liu Haoyang, the reason why they are called seniors even though they are in the same year is because he is a repeat student. It is said that he failed too many courses in his freshman year and had to repeat a year.

Zhang Xiaoyu turned to look at Zhou Yueling: "What's so interesting about this?"

Chen Shiya was equally puzzled.

Zhou Yueling leaned closer, her voice low but unable to hide her excitement: "Let me tell you, senior Liu Haoyang is pursuing Feng Qinqin, that's why he always sits next to her."

"Huh? Really?" Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and she subconsciously looked at the two of them again. The boy was indeed obviously trying to please the girl, while the girl's expression seemed very normal.

Chen Shiya: "We've only known each other for a little over a month, that's too fast."

"That's right, we've only known each other for a short time."

Zhou Yueling: "You guys don't understand, that's just how guys are. Even if they've only known each other for a day, let alone a month, if the girl is pretty, they'll still go after her. It's not just Feng Qinqin, but also Lin Zheng, who shares a dorm with her, and Yi Qing! A lot of guys talk about them in private, saying who likes whom and who they should pursue."

Zhang Xiaoyu was astonished. She looked at Zhou Yueling in surprise and asked, "Yueling, how do you know so much?"

Zhou Yueling chuckled and said, "Of course these are no problem for me. I have so many friends, and I'm a little gossip genius."

Chen Shiya laughed and teased, "Oh, you little gossip genius, do you know which boy in our class likes you? After all, you're quite cute and witty, so you're pretty popular."

Zhou Yueling paused for a moment, then her eyes darted around: "Um, um, I don't know, I don't think so. I'm not a narcissistic person, why would I pry into my own affairs? Besides, gossip is only interesting when you hear other people's stories."

After chatting and laughing for a while, my mind relaxed, and then class started again.
