Shi Jing had a very fulfilling summer vacation, as did Qi Shuang.

During the two-month summer vacation, Qi Shuang devoted almost all her time to filming. Until a week before school started, she finally finished filming her scenes.

To prevent falling behind in the school curriculum when school starts, Qi Shuang diligently reviewed and previewed the material every day with Shi Jing for a week before school began, consolidating every knowledge point.

Shi Jing was reading a book next to her, so she could ask her questions if she didn't understand something.

Although Shi Jing did a lot of things this summer, with the system around, she didn't fall behind in her studies at all.

On September 1st, the second and third year of high school will start school.

Shi Jing and Qi Shuang dragged their suitcases and carried their bags as they returned to school.

As soon as Shi Jing entered the school, she noticed that a large crowd had gathered around her. Shi Jing was somewhat surprised. She hadn't done anything particularly sensational recently, had she? The incident at the auction hadn't been exposed, and she had locked the jade set in a bank safe deposit box.

However, Shi Jing quickly realized that these people didn't seem to be looking at him. Their gazes seemed to be focused on Qi Shuang?

Shi Jing glanced at Qi Shuang, then at the crowd of onlookers who were secretly watching.

She quietly approached Qi Shuang and whispered, "Shuang, what's going on? Why are they all looking at you like that?"

Qi Shuang understood the situation after just a quick glance. She looked at Shi Jing helplessly. So Shi Jing hadn't noticed all this time that she was now somewhat famous.

She quietly approached Shi Jing and whispered, "The show I had a cameo in last year aired during the summer vacation, right? I'm a little bit famous now."

"......"

Shi Jing remembered that she and Qi Yan had watched a few episodes together. However, she was busy with other things, and the intervals between episodes were long these days, so she only watched a few episodes before stopping.

Shi Jing coughed lightly, feeling somewhat guilty. She hadn't contributed a single point to the viewership ratings of her good friend's drama.

"Hmm... that TV show was actually quite good..."

Qi Shuang didn't insist. She had known Shi Jing for so long and knew how hard he was working in his studies. Other things weren't that important to Shi Jing.

That makes sense, of course the most important thing for students is to study. Didn't she also rush to catch up on her studies as soon as filming was over?

"Let's go, let's hurry to the dormitory, otherwise there will be even more people watching." Seeing that the crowd was increasing, Qi Shuang quickly reminded them.

Shi Jing also noticed, and the two quickly dragged the suitcase away from the scene.

People kept gathering around along the way, which shows that the show that aired during the summer vacation was quite popular. Tsk, Zhang Ningyuan's company must have made a fortune.

But isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Have all the people in the school seen this show?

They ran all the way back to their dormitory. After the division of classes into arts and sciences in the second year of high school, Shi Jing and Qi Shuang were assigned to new classes and new dormitories.

Qi Shuang studied literature, while Shi Jing studied science. Their dormitories were not together, and they each went back to their own dorms to put away their luggage.

Shi Jing found her dormitory and pushed open the door. She saw the first few people who had arrived were chatting together. Zhou Pingping was reading a book and seemed oblivious to their conversation.

Shi Jing was familiar with everyone in this dormitory. Two of her former roommates had been assigned to other classes because of their studies in humanities.

In addition to her original roommates, two new girls joined their dorm. These two girls were from her previous class; one was named Han Li, and the other Bai Tao. However, Shi Jing hadn't had much contact with them and wasn't very familiar with them.

Qian Duoduo looked up when she heard the door open. She was sitting facing the dormitory door and immediately saw Shi Jing.

"Shi Jing, you're here!" Qian Duoduo and the others surrounded him with great enthusiasm.

Shi Jing was a little confused. Although they had become familiar with each other over the past year, this was the first time she had seen them like this.

"W-what's wrong?"

"Where's Qi Shuang? Has she arrived?" Sheng Shi'an craned his neck to look behind her.

Shi Jing understood now. It seemed that these people had also watched that show during the summer vacation. They were happy because it featured someone they knew and wanted to see the real person.

She said helplessly, "Xiaoshuang, go back and put your things away. You'll be here in a bit."

"You guys are exaggerating. We've been classmates for so long, we've seen each other countless times..."

"You don't understand, is what you see on TV the same as what you see in real life?" Qian Duoduo chuckled.

Well, at this point, Jing really didn't understand.

"I was stunned when I saw it on TV. I immediately posted about it in the class group and on the school website," Zhao Ninglu said proudly.

"Right, right? Me too. I also saw a lot of posts from Qi Shuang's class on the campus website."

Shi Jing's doubts were now cleared up.

She rarely logs onto the campus network or checks class group messages, so she didn't even notice.

"I'll put my things away first. Xiaoshuang will come over to read later, but don't scare her." Shi Jing pushed the suitcase inside.

Zhao Ninglu quickly replied, "No, no, their dorm is definitely even more outrageous than ours."

She was absolutely right, because the dorm next door was already in an uproar. Not only that, many people had seen Qi Shuang along the way, and quite a few had come to join in the fun.

Shi Jing carefully put away all her belongings. Seeing that her roommates were not there, she guessed that they had gone to join in the fun.

She glanced at the door and saw that Qi Shuang's dormitory was next to hers, and there were a lot of people there right now.

That's too much. Shi Jing sighed and decided to stay in her dorm and not join in the fun.

About ten minutes later, Qi Shuang rushed in with her schoolbag as if fleeing, and soon Qian Duoduo and the others followed her in.

"It's over so quickly?" Shi Jing asked curiously. She had just glanced over and saw that there were still quite a few people gathered there.

"Sigh, don't even mention it." Qi Shuang said speechlessly.

Qian Duoduo, however, cleared up Shi Jing's confusion: "When the dormitory supervisor came, everyone dispersed."

Perhaps because everyone was a student, although they were curious, they didn't go to extremes. After the school intervened, the scene of onlookers that appeared on the first day of school did not reappear.

Despite this, Qi Shuang's popularity at school has grown significantly, and she is now a prominent figure on campus.

The No. 1 Middle School of the city holds a diagnostic test at the beginning of each school year, and this year is no exception.

On the second day of school, the entire second-year students of the No. 1 High School in the city took a major exam.

Shi Jing's grades remain at the top, and Qi Shuang's grades have now entered the top forty in the entire grade. Based on her current progress, Qi Shuang is now guaranteed admission to a top-tier university; the goal now is to aim for even better schools.

After choosing between arts and sciences, everyone needs to continue working hard on their respective paths.
