"You've started studying so soon?" Cheng Cheng was slightly surprised.

Knowing this guy as she does, she wouldn't waste this time, when she could completely relax and rest, on studying.

"There's nothing I can do, I'm just a very ambitious person," Gu Luoqi said, feigning seriousness.

"Okay, okay, you're the most motivated." Cheng Cheng naturally had no objections. She was very satisfied that her good friend had suddenly changed her previous study habits.

"But you should rest more these few days, because we might not have time to rest in the future." She shared her insider information with her without reservation.

"Yes, we have that news. We might have make-up classes on weekends from now on." Li Mingya nodded from the side.

"What?!" Gu Luoqi felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Didn't we not make up for it before?" she couldn't help but ask.

When was this new information released?

"Yes, but I heard it's voluntary. Apparently, many students complained to the school that they couldn't concentrate on their studies after returning home, so the school collected everyone's opinions and decided to make up the classes," Li Mingya explained.

"When were the opinions solicited? How come I didn't know?" Gu Luoqi said with a bitter face.

She strongly doubted whether the process of soliciting opinions even existed, or whether it had skipped over students like them who were academically weak.

"You don't need to know. Just don't be surprised when you receive the notification," Cheng Cheng said calmly.

"Surprise? More like a shock." What exactly gave Xiao Chengzi the illusion that she would be surprised by this?

"Didn't someone just say they love learning?" Cheng Cheng kindly reminded her of this.

“There is a difference between being proactive and being passive,” Gu Luoqi said with dissatisfaction.

There are some things she doesn't find objectionable if she does them voluntarily, but she feels a little unhappy when she's forced to.

"The school didn't really force us, did they? Didn't they say it was voluntary?" Li Mingya added.

"Even so, the truth is that we still have to go," Gu Luoqi said helplessly.

Imagine if everyone else went and she was the only one who didn't go, wouldn't that make her seem rebellious? Wouldn't that make her a thorn in someone's side?

She'll be the first one they make an example of.

“Yeah, I’ll go anyway,” Cheng Cheng said. Actually, she also felt that learning efficiency would be higher in the classroom.

“Me too,” Li Mingya echoed.

"Then let's go." Since they all said so, Gu Luoqi naturally had no objections.

Thinking back, it did happen in her past life, but she was always a troublemaker and would refuse to go if she wanted to, so she didn't have a particularly deep impression of it and almost treated it as if it didn't exist.

"Have you decided which university you want to apply to?" she suddenly asked, looking up.

These past few days she's been thinking it over and over, and she feels she still needs to have a goal, otherwise she'll seem too颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or demoralized).

Her question caused an eerie silence to fall over the room for a moment.

After a while, Cheng Cheng finally spoke up, "It's no use saying it now. It's not like I can pass the exam just because I want to."

Gu Luoxi muttered to herself, "That's really true."

In his past life, this guy got into Kyoto University, the same school as Qi Sheng, and studied biology. He had a smooth journey to his master's and doctoral degrees, so his experience wasn't much different from Qi Sheng's.

Because they went to different universities and the gap between them widened, they eventually became like strangers.

Of course, Gu Luoqi now believes that most of this is her fault.

On one hand, there was his own inferiority complex and timidity. Xiao Chengzi was just too outstanding and too eye-catching. He didn't even have the courage to stay by her side.

On the other hand, because she was so obsessed with romance, she spent all her time in college on Su Yan and had no time to cultivate their friendship.

She has only now realized that everything needs to be carefully nurtured, including friendship.

Over the years, only the system has ever pointed out her inner timidity and inferiority complex, but there is still time and everything can be done in time.

The only annoying thing is that the system occasionally pops up some inspirational quotes.

For example, right now, "Host, keep it up! I believe you can do it too. Just try to get into the same school they got into!"

"I really want to take the exam, but it's not something I can achieve just by standing on tiptoe!" she said helplessly.

There are many students in the world who work very hard during their school years, but not everyone is admitted to top universities. This shows that the threshold is not just about hard work.

At least in her mind, Xiao Chengzi was a gifted student who had always been good at studying since she was a child. Even though she didn't seem to study, she was still good at it.

But the system is an optimist: "Just do it, there's no need to worry about so many things."

Gu Luoqi: "..." She even doubted whether this guy knew what she was trying to say. Why did she feel like they weren't on the same wavelength?

Compared to Cheng Cheng's dazzling achievements, she was not familiar with Li Mingya in her previous life, so she did not know which school Cheng Cheng had been admitted to, and she lost contact with her afterwards.

At this moment, Li Mingya frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head. "I don't know right now."

“But there’s still plenty of time, so you can think about it carefully,” she continued.

Gu Luoqi nodded in agreement. Such a major life event certainly needed careful consideration, and at least for now, she had to get past the system first.
