Start as a top student after transmigrating.

The next day.

Chen Dong didn't go home after school at noon. He took Ye Wanwan to No. 1 Middle School. Liu Yumo followed without saying a word when he heard the call. Jiang Lina discussed it with her mother.

Her mother didn't refuse, after all, it was for her studies, and although Jiang Lina's scores didn't improve much this time, her ranking had improved considerably.

The college entrance examination is not just about scores; ranking is even more important. At this rate of progress, Jiang Lina should have no problem getting into a university.

"It's so tiring to keep my eyes open in this old car!"

After a ten-minute ride, Liu Yumo was sweating profusely and complained as soon as he parked his bike.

"If you don't want to ride, then don't follow me." Jiang Lina rolled her eyes at him. It's not like I can't ride.

"You think I want to ride you? And carry you? Don't you even know how heavy you are?" Liu Yumo retorted.

"What's wrong with my weight? Explain yourself if you dare."

Jiang Lina glared fiercely at him, and before Liu Yumo could retort, she continued, "Look, Sister Han is right there. Should we let Sister Han uphold justice?"

Liu Yumo didn't choose to confront her directly. He just muttered to himself, seeing Chen Dong, who had arrived first, smiling at him and not forgetting to save face, "Woman, too lazy to pay attention to her~"

Anyway, his dad promised to buy him an electric scooter today, so he won't have to ride a bicycle tomorrow. He can just bear with it a little longer.

Chen Dong gave him a knowing look.

"Brother Dong, hurry up!"

Han Ning'er waved to them. Jing Shanshan was also there. The two of them had just returned from the market and were carrying a lot of groceries.

"Are you cooking lunch yourself?" Jiang Lina cheerfully ran over and helped carry the groceries.

"Eating out isn't hygienic, but we have a chef," Han Ning'er said with a smile, glancing at Chen Dong.

"Why not take advantage of it?" Jiang Lina replied casually.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Back home, Han Ning'er and the others put the groceries in the kitchen and naturally asked the two boys to cook.

"I'll cook."

Liu Yumo rolled up his sleeves and volunteered, startling Han Ning'er and the others into a stunned silence. He then glared at them fiercely, leaving them to figure out the rest.

"Aren't we going to help?" Jing Shanshan was a new member and didn't know the situation. She had only come because she knew that the study group would also have classes at noon.

Right now, I'm thinking of going to the kitchen to help with the cooking.

"There's no need for us to go into the kitchen when there are two boys in the family. We can just wait for dinner to be served." Han Ning'er pulled Jing Shanshan aside and then introduced Liu Yumo and the others to each other.

"Don't just sit around. We're not here to play around at noon. Do some practice problems before lunch, and discuss anything you don't understand," Chen Dong said, rolling up his sleeves as he gave them instructions.

Cooking lunch is fine, but if everyone else is just playing around and waiting for lunch, then there's absolutely no need to gather in a study group at noon, especially with a super-achiever like Jing Shanshan around.

"Alright, we got it. Hurry up and cook." Han Ning'er pushed him and Liu Yumo into the kitchen, while the four girls sat around the dining table to study.

"Mozi, you'll be in charge of washing the vegetables and helping me out." Chen Dong entered the kitchen, glanced at the available vegetables, and then gave Liu Yumo instructions.

"Okay."

Although Liu Yumo's cooking skills are not good, he can still do whatever he is told.

Chen Dong first rinsed the rice and put it on to steam, then chopped the meat and vegetables. He didn't need to prepare everything before turning on the stove. He started stir-frying the two dishes and then handed the rest over to Liu Yumo to prepare.

As long as we don't make any fancy dishes, it's quite quick for two people to prepare a few simple dishes. The rice was just ready, and then the five dishes and soup were served.

"Finally, we can eat."

Han Ning'er's eyes lit up. Jiang Lina closed her book and went to get rice. It was almost one o'clock, and her stomach was already growling. She had to eat quickly.

"Mmm, this dish is so delicious!" Jing Shanshan had never tasted Chen Dong's cooking before, and her eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement as soon as she tasted it.

"Eat more if it's delicious. We can eat even better if we spend more on food expenses," Han Ning'er said while eating.

"Is there anything better to eat? Food expenses are no problem." Jing Shanshan puffed out her cheeks, her eyes full of anticipation. Money didn't matter to her; with her grades, she could have as much pocket money as she wanted.

As long as it satisfies her taste buds.

"No spare ribs today. Let me tell you, Dong-ge's braised spare ribs are absolutely amazing." Han Ning'er praised him generously, and Chen Dong's cooking skills certainly deserved the praise.

"Then I definitely want to try it. I'll buy the groceries tomorrow. Chen Dong, you have to make it for me every day." Jing Shanshan looked at Chen Dong expectantly.

Suddenly, several pairs of eyes turned to her.

Dong Ge makes it for you every day, but what about us?

There's only one Dong Ge, and we haven't even made such a request yet. You're a newcomer, so we'll just let you ride along for a bit. If you try to steal him away, don't blame us for not letting you in.

……

After dinner, it was the girls' turn to wash the dishes. Han Ning'er was very conscientious, and even Jing Shanshan couldn't escape it. Last time, Dong Ge said that if anyone wanted to cook in the house, everyone had to do it.

For the sake of delicious food, this little bit of work is nothing.

The four girls washed the dishes quite quickly, finishing them all before 1:30, and then managed to study for a class.

The main reason is that Liu Yumo took leave, as did Jing Shanshan.

"Chen Dong, can you do this problem?" She had just explained several difficult problems to the others, and now it was time for her to discuss top-level cultivation techniques with Chen Dong.

"Let me see." Chen Dong took the question and glanced at it, his brows furrowing slightly.

It was a math problem, and Jing Shanshan was a top student. Even she couldn't figure out how to solve it, so it was indeed very difficult. Chen Dong thought about it for a full two minutes before picking up his pen.

Jing Shanshan's eyes lit up slightly, especially when she saw the steps. In an instant, it was as if she had found her direction. Following Chen Dong's steps, she suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

No wonder he gets a perfect score in math. If he could tackle one challenging problem like this every day, he would never suffer a crushing defeat, no matter how difficult the college entrance exam is.

……

The next few days followed the same rhythm, with the study group meeting at noon and in the evening. Time flew by and Friday arrived. That evening, Chen Dong dialed a number.

Winter nights are deep and still. Not only are there few people on the streets, but many people also turn off their lights and go to bed early, since the bed is another world.

But some people are still busy late at night.

At this moment, in a spacious office in a certain building, a solitary figure sits at his desk, constantly flipping through the documents on the table.

Ding-a-ling~

Suddenly, a phone rang. Wu Jie didn't pay attention at first, but then she realized it was her personal cell phone and that it was an unknown number.

She frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the call.

"Hello Aunt Wu, I am Chen Dong from Class 3 of Qingjiang Middle School."

Upon hearing Chen Dong's self-introduction as soon as the call connected, Wu Jie frowned again, then put down the documents in her hand and said calmly, "I know you."

"Aunt Wu, we discussed it with Han Ning'er a few days ago and decided to go to her house tomorrow night. Is that convenient?" Chen Dong stated his purpose directly.

Wu Jie was slightly taken aback, her brows furrowing even more unconsciously. She almost blurted out a refusal, but then she remembered Han Jiancheng's reminder that night, and the words she was about to say stopped her.

"convenient."

Although she disliked Huang Mao, he was, after all, her daughter's friend, and if possible, she didn't want to interfere too much with her daughter's friendship, provided that she kept her distance.

"Okay, Aunt Wu, we'll come to visit tomorrow."

Chen Dong smiled, then suddenly said sincerely, "Aunt Wu, thank you~"
