"There are only a few edible things in the cafeteria. Luckily, we moved to another restaurant later, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear it." Yan Meng shook her head, saying that she ate like this because she had no choice. "As for time, it seems we don't have that much time."

Zuo Yu finished all the buns and blew on the spicy soup in front of him. He told his plan, "Yes, there should be four hours of free time this Saturday. Why don't we go then?"

"It's not easy to get a table on Saturday afternoon at that time. Last time we went to a hot pot restaurant on Sunday, we queued for almost an hour, and the most annoying thing was that the food was not tasty. It has left a psychological trauma on me." Yan Meng recalled the tragic experience. The food was not tasty and was expensive. Anyway, that restaurant was already on their blacklist.

"Then I can definitely arrange it. That shop just opened not long ago and the food is pretty good. I also know their owner. I can just ask him to save a table for you."

"Is this your store?" Fang Xuan quickly discovered the truth.

"That's right." Zuo Yu admitted.

Zuo Yu slowly finished his soup and glanced at the students on the table. Everyone was already in the final stages of drinking soup. He was still the fastest, though. "Look at how slowly you're eating. You've wasted so much time studying. As a student council member, I have to criticize you for wasting time. You only have so much time to study one more knowledge point. If it comes up on the test, you'll lose several points. Did you know that one point is worth a thousand? Just because of these few points, you could end up living a relatively unsuccessful life."

"Master, please stop reading." Li Shu echoed. She had also finished eating and was about to get up with the information.

Fang Xuan picked up the bowl, poured the soup into his stomach, burped contentedly, picked up his and Yan Meng's schoolbags, stood up and looked at the brighter light outside. "Today is another day full of hope."

"I no longer have the money to protect the continent of Arad." Zuo Yu continued.

"Tell him you like him and ask him to top up another 80,000."

"This morning, I decided to play 'Pray to Buddha.'" Fang Xuan's face was full of determination.

"Why?" Zuo Yu looked at his serious face with some confusion.

"Last night, the dog was drunk and got three ribs." Yan Meng revealed Fang Xuan's thoughts.

"You're right, but that's just like drinking water to hurt a dog..."

Fang Xuan noticed that they had quickened their pace, "Wait for me."

Zuo Yu and the other two started running together. Zuo Yu shouted to Fang Xuan, "Let's see who gets to the classroom first. The one at the back has to buy water for the three people in front."

"It's not fair, I demand a rematch." Fang Xuan, who had been pulled a long distance away, shouted.

Zuo Yu was the first to rush into the classroom. There were already a few people inside, some reading quietly, others sorting through their notes. The monitor sitting in front of him was working through the homework assignments from the previous day.

A moment later, Li Shu also entered the classroom, followed by Yan Meng. Li Shu took out some tissues and placed them on the table, handing a few to Zuo Yu, motioning him to wipe his sweat. Zuo Yu took the tissues, wiped his sweat, and then tossed the used paper into the aisle trash can from his seat. The paper ball traced a graceful arc in the air before disappearing.

Zuo Yu gently called Yan Meng to help throw it in. Yan Meng, who was sitting next to the trash can, said to Zuo Yu expressionlessly: "You didn't throw it in, pick it up and throw it in yourself."

Zuo Yu could only ask his deskmate to help, but Li Shu picked up the paper ball and handed it to Zuo Yu, asking him to continue throwing.

Zuo Yu could only take one more shot, and this time it went in. He proudly said to Yan Meng, "This time it was an empty three-pointer, the last time was just a mistake."

Yan Meng ignored him, took out the textbook on the table and started reading. Zuo Yu, feeling bored, just picked up the exercise book and put it on the table, waiting for Fang Xuan to come in and laugh at him.

Fang Xuan was a full five minutes late, forcing himself to follow the rest of the group into the classroom. He first went to Yan Meng and sorted out the two tests, then walked up to the class monitor and said, "Two-glass straight man, stand up."

The squad leader looked at him angrily and stood up as he spoke, "Can you please not bring this up? I can definitely drink more than two glasses. Next time, I will definitely prove my drinking capacity."

"Next time when we go Dutch, I'll definitely take you with me. I'll let you have two drinks first and the rest will be mine." Fang Xuan sat down with a smile.

"Next time, I'll let you witness my true strength." The monitor said angrily, and then buried his head in solving the problem again.

"You were lazy, so you didn't run in the end." Zuo Yu gently hit Fang Xuan on the back.

Fang Xuan turned around, looked at the sweat stains on Zuo Yu's short-sleeved shirt, and said to him, "It's hard to catch up with someone at such a long distance, so I chose to take a leisurely walk. You must be sweating profusely trying to come in first. What's the point of running faster? I'll still be the one to decide the end of the race. In this respect, I'm far ahead of you."

"Tsk, remember to buy some water at noon. I must pick the most expensive one in the supermarket."

"It's up to you. That's how expensive it is." Fang Xuan looked indifferent.

At this moment, the sound of reading suddenly grew louder in the class. When the sound of reading suddenly grew louder during morning reading, there was no doubt that it was the homeroom teacher's arrival. The sudden increase in sound was the alarm signaling the teacher's arrival. Students sitting in the back might have had a chance to adjust, pulling out a book and making a big splash. But Zuo Yu and Fang Xuan were in the first and second rows, respectively.

It seemed like there was no time to adjust, but for these two people, there was an emergency plan. Zuo Yu turned the exercise book he had taken out earlier towards Fang Xuan so that he could see the questions clearly, muttering to himself, "This question is..."

Zuo Yu watched the head teacher pause, pretending not to notice him, pretending to be discussing a problem. The two of them acted embarrassed and stopped discussing. This routine was already familiar to them, more familiar than asking for guidance.

The head teacher said to them gently, "It's time for morning reading. Don't discuss questions. Memorize the text first. If you have any questions, we can discuss them after class."

"Okay." The two of them looked like good children. Fang Xuan picked up Zuo Yu's exercise book, turned around, took out a book and began to read aloud.

The homeroom teacher walked around the class and then returned to his office. The ever-present threat of a homeroom teacher, who could reappear at any moment, would always remain in the classroom, forcing every student to study diligently. But a homeroom teacher who had just disappeared was unlikely to reappear. The two students nearby both had a faint smile on their faces.

"Tsk, you two got away with it again." The squad leader sighed and clicked his tongue twice.

"This is what we have summed up after many experiences. As long as you are in a learning state, the teacher generally will not be too angry. So having an open exercise book on the desk is the best way to deal with it." Fang Xuan said proudly to the class monitor, and casually gave Zuo Yu's exercise book to him.

Zuo Yu took the exercise book and added, "Even if you only put in superficial effort, the teachers will see through it but won't say anything. They'll think you're ashamed, that you know it's wrong, and that you've recognized your mistake. I'm afraid you'll think you're admitting your mistake with dignity, and the teachers will think you're just being self-righteous and not learning, not knowing where you went wrong."

The two of them finished their conversation and started to recite their own books, waiting for the bell to ring. The class representative went to the podium and wrote down what should be recited at a fixed time. If it was something that needed to be recited later, they would add the words "recite later". If it was something that would be checked in class, they would write "the teacher will check it in class". Of course, the group leader would check it first, and then report the list to the class representative, who would then give it to the teacher. The teacher would not check the people on the list, but the teacher knew in his heart that some students had difficulty reciting. If your name was not on the list, you would definitely have to recite it in class. The people on the list would then go to the teacher after class or during self-study time to recite and cross out their own names.

Normally, groups of eight people formed a group. Zuo Yu and his group were close, so naturally, they were in the same group. The group leader was Yan Meng's deskmate. Class committee members generally didn't serve as group leaders. Now, after morning reading, the group leader began looking for people to recite. Those who couldn't recite would resort to a procrastination tactic, disappearing after class and then, when class started, reciting the lesson and boasting about their accomplishments. Fang Xuan was now being pestered by the group leader.

"Fang Xuan, do you know how to recite it? If not, don't waste your time here. I'll write down your name first. When you can recite it, come to me and I'll cross it out for you. There's no need to waste your time here." After checking Li Shu and the class monitor's recitation, the team leader questioned Fang Xuan angrily.

"Go check Zuo Yu's name first." Fang Xuan still wanted to delay time. His strange self-esteem did not want his name to appear on the list.

The team leader looked at Fang Xuan with some surprise, "He will definitely know. There's no need to check."

"No, you must check him." Fang Xuan wanted to learn how to recite during the time when Zuo Yu was reciting.

"Let me do it." Zuo Yu looked at Fang Xuan with a smile on his face. That expression made it clear that if you continue to delay, you will definitely not be able to finish memorizing it.

Zuo Yu finished reciting fluently, but Fang Xuan obviously did not succeed in the intensive review. Now he had to find the group leader to cross out his name before the third class, otherwise he would have to face the teacher directly.

He walked up to the podium, turned on the multimedia, and played "Pray to the Buddha." The head teacher watched with interest as the students sang the song. After the song was finished, slogans rang out.

After waiting for everyone to quiet down, the head teacher smiled and said to Fang Xuan, "It's useless to pray to the gods before the exam."

Then he took out the test paper in his hand and said, "We have two consecutive physics classes this morning, and we will do a special training on force analysis. We will do it in one and a half classes, and in the remaining half class, we will exchange test papers and correct each other's questions while we talk." He distributed the test papers to the students in the first row and asked them to pass them to the back.

Zuo Yu took the test paper that Fang Xuan passed to him and said softly to him, "Today is another day full of hope."

Seeing Fang Xuan's expression of despair, Zuo Yu smiled and looked at the test paper in his hand, picked up his pen and began to work on it. A new busy day for the senior students began.

Chapter 23: Drinking Wine and Discussing Schools

The happiest time for students is the holidays. The typical weekend schedule at No. 2 Middle School is: Saturday afternoon classes are replaced by two periods of self-improvement, followed by afternoon classes. Classes resume at 4 p.m. on Sunday, barely making up a day off.

For high school seniors, their weekend only lasts about four hours on Saturday afternoon, as they have to take exams in the evening. Zuo Yu and his classmates received both good news and bad news on Saturday afternoon.

The good news is that they don’t have to follow the schedule of their senior year this time and can have a day off.

The bad news is that the intensive class will be here next week, and they will have to strictly follow the senior year schedule.

Fang Xuan was happily packing his schoolbag, humming a little tune, and looked very happy.

"You have so many papers. Can you finish them?" Zuo Yu watched Fang Xuan stuffing a lot of test papers into his schoolbag. In his impression, Fang Xuan was not that fond of doing test papers.

"I've done the surface work, but Yan Meng is still blaming me." Fang Xuan whispered to Zuo Yu. Seeing that Zuo Yu only brought one person back, he asked helplessly, "Are you still not taking anything?"

"I've learned enough at school, so don't make me go home and learn more." Zuo Yu said helplessly. He felt someone behind him and continued, "You're carrying so much, you must have no idea how to carry it home or back to school. I bet you a bottle of water."

"I'll also bet a bottle of water that I won't be able to write." Fang Xuan buried his head in tidying up the things in his drawer.

"I bet you will move." A somewhat gloomy girl's voice came from behind Fang Xuan.

When Fang Xuan heard this voice, he knew that Zuo Yu had plotted against him again. "What I mean is, I can't write, but I can do it in the form of an exam. Right, Yan Meng."

"You're so smooth-talking." Yan Meng, who was standing behind Fang Xuan, said, and then handed her test paper to Fang Xuan. Fang Xuan put her test paper in the small bag outside.

After Yan Meng handed the test paper to Fang Xuan, she turned around and said to Zuo Yu, "How are you going to arrange your time today?"

"Go home first to put your schoolbag down, then go to the Internet cafe to play for a while? And then go eat?" Zuo Yu gave a tentative suggestion.

Yan Meng looked at Zuo Yu with a speechless expression, "Going to the Internet cafe again, don't you have anywhere else to go?"

"Of course there are, but I don't have enough time. Why not go to the internet cafe and play a couple of games? It's a quick and easy way to entertain yourself."

"It could also be a way of spiking blood pressure. Instead of relieving it, it could actually increase it." Fang Xuan packed his schoolbag and shouldered his luggage. He continued, "Today, I'm going to unveil them. You're not allowed to compete with me for either of them."

The four of them went to a familiar internet cafe. Zuo Yu, Fang Xuan, and Yan Meng played together, while Li Shu, who wasn't too keen on playing games, watched anime. When time was almost up, the four of them paid their bills, got off the internet, and headed to the restaurant together.

The place they ate was a barbecue restaurant. You ordered your food and then grilled it yourself. Zuo Yu and Fang Xuan sat on one side, while the two girls sat on the other.

"Two bottles today?" Zuo Yu said to Fang Xuan while ordering, gesturing to the wine and beverage column above.

"Go ahead." Fang Xuan was quite generous.

"Have you two forgotten that I can drink too?" Yan Meng complained somewhat indignantly.

"Li Shu or drinks, right?"

"Yes, I want to try their sour plum soup." Li Shu said, pointing at the sour plum soup.

"OK. Let's order a regular set meal for four people first. We can order more if it's not enough." Zuo Yu said to the few people after ordering the meal.

They all nodded in agreement, and now it was time to wait for the meal to be served. The waiter opened the grill, and the group started chatting. Classmates always have endless topics to talk about.

"What anime was Li Shu watching just now?" Yan Meng recalled the anime that Li Shu had watched in the Internet cafe before.

"White Album 2."

"Well, you can ask the two people at the opposite table. Especially your master. I remember he even completed the game."

Fang Xuan was reviewing with Zuo Yu how important and detailed his last move was. When he heard the name of the anime, he said to Zuo Yu with a look of deep affection, "I didn't realize autumn had deepened in my dreams. How could my lingering feelings be for anyone else?"

"Don't disgust me. I just sit behind you. I don't know what you do in class. It's not that I'm observing you on purpose even though you didn't listen carefully in class." Zuo Yu pretended to look at Fang Xuan with some disgust.

Fang Xuan felt a little embarrassed and asked Li Shu, who didn't get the gag, "Which one do you like, Touma or Setsuna?"

"Stop, are you going to start a war again?" Yan Meng also echoed.

"I really like Touma, and I also feel sorry for Setsuna." Li Shu gave the answer, then looked at Zuo Yu and asked him, "Master, which one do you like?"

"IC likes Touma, CC likes Chiaki, and Coda likes Setsuna." Zuo Yu answered immediately.

"Who is Qian Jing? Is there such a person?" Li Shu, who had only watched anime, could not understand Zuo Yu's answer.

"It's in the game. I quite like it." Zuo Yu explained.

Yan Meng on the side began to fan the flames, wanting Zuo Yu to make a choice, "Can you only choose one?"

"Xue Cai." Zuo Yu answered without any hesitation.

"She's a rare supporter of Setsuna." Fang Xuan interjected, looking like he was a supporter of Touma. "Don't you think she's too scheming?"

"That's okay. It's comfortable to be with people who have high emotional intelligence. I can't get along with a troubled girl like Touma."

"That's hard to say..." Fang Xuan added meaningfully, then said to Li Shu, "By the way, are my copies of 'Dragon Clan' still with you? I noticed this afternoon that I only have Dragon 4 left."

“只有一本龙3中了。其他的我记得龙1和龙2在班主任那,龙3上在组长那,龙3下在化学课代表那。”黎书回答。

"Who was caught reading in class? Why did he go to the head teacher?" Fang Xuan's face looked a little bad.

"The physical education teacher didn't put the book into the drawer after reading it, so it got mixed up with the textbooks. Then the chemistry teacher caught it, and he handed the book to the head teacher." Zuo Yu said on the side. The head teacher had told him about this incident.

"Tsk, the Sports Committee member, that really seems like something he would do. But why didn't he bring the book back?"

"Well, I'll give it to you after graduation." Zuo Yu gave a classic answer.

"Knock, even someone as reasonable as the homeroom teacher has started."

"Having a good temper doesn't mean you're easy to bully. Even putting extracurricular books on the table is a bit too much."

"Oh, forget it. Anyway, I can get it back when the time comes. It might be safer to leave it with the head teacher than in the classroom, and it won't be easily lost. It's also good news." Fang Xuan changed his perspective and thought this was still a good thing.

At this time, the waiter brought up the set meal. Yan Meng and Li Shu started to grill the meat, while Zuo Yu and Fang Xuan opened a bottle of beer and started pouring it for everyone.

"Then do you want me to tell you some bad news?" Zuo Yu finished a sip of wine and said to Fang Xuan with a smirk on his face.

"What bad news?" Fang Xuan was puzzled. "Isn't it just that he will be officially imprisoned tomorrow afternoon?"

"We are about to start the overall quantitative assessment." Zuo Yu said to Fang Xuan word by word.

"What!" Fang Xuan was a little bit unconvinced. "It's the one that happened to the class next door. When one person makes a mistake, the whole class gets punished."

"Yes, they convert your usual performance into scores. You get points for answering questions in class, but you lose points for whispering. Being called out by the teacher in class will result in a significant deduction, as will being late in the morning. The results are calculated once a week, and the last-place group will take over for the first-place group. The reason for this is, if you don't want to use your brain, then move your body more. If you like to move, then move more to burn off excess energy."

"Damn, how can we do this here? But our group has an advantage, after all, we have three class committee members. I need to take turns." Fang Xuan took the kidneys that Yan Meng had roasted for him and started to eat them. They looked very delicious and tasty.

Zuo Yu took a skewer of beef and took a bite. He then continued, "There's your matter, and Li Shu's matter. The class monitor, the student committee member, the network administrator, the finance director, and the class representatives for three major subjects. Seven people, one day each."

"Looks like we don't have to be on duty anymore." Fang Xuan and Yan Meng clinked glasses.

"That's impossible. We can't always be number one, but we can never be last." Zuo Yu finished eating the skewers and took a new one.

"That's right." Fang Xuan saw Zuo Yu stop and clinked his glass with him.

"In this way, every school will have its own characteristics. The military management of accommodation in No. 1 Middle School, and the entire quantitative assessment in No. 2 Middle School." Li Shu said aside, she was drinking sour plum soup.
