In Zhong Lin Chaoxi's memory, Pei Zhi has not appeared for a long time, because it has been three years since he left.

Of course, this departure did not have any tragic meaning; Pei Zhi simply left.

He left in a hurry. The day before, they were happily eating snacks together, and the next day Pei Zhi said he was leaving.

They and a few other friends were standing by the pond in the park. Pei Zhi had a calm look on his face, as if to say that his grandfather was not in good health, so he had to go abroad to accompany him.

Later, the friends said goodbye to each other reluctantly. Lao Lin appeared and took them for a walk in the park. Pei Zhicai then told them the real reason for leaving.

His mother and family felt that since he had won a gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, he had studied mathematics too deeply and they were afraid that he would repeat his father's mistakes, so they thought of a way to transfer him to a school abroad so that he could accompany his grandfather and recuperate.

Although his family's views were ridiculous and foolish, he had no choice but to go because his grandfather had loved him since he was a child and it was a fact that his grandfather was in poor health.

Lao Lin listened silently from beginning to end.

He didn't say anything to comfort her, but just took Pei Zhi home and gave him a long list of books. He clearly wrote the English name of each book, as well as the author and version number, and let Pei Zhi figure it out by himself and find time to study.

Finally, Pei Zhi left her house with the piece of paper.

Under the warm yellow street lights, they said goodbye.

Pei Zhi's story stops here.

Lin Chaoxi spun the pen and drew a confused little girl under the street light.

This is probably one of the plot lines that changed after she landed in the cheese world.

Pei Zhi from Strawberry World has been studying in Anning City and has never been away for so long to accompany his grandfather.

In the cheese world, he won the Jin Cup, which prompted his family to take early action to prevent him from continuing his journey in the field of talent.

But if it was Pei Zhi, they, as Capricorns, might not give up so easily.

Lin Chaoxi read the Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital from beginning to end and stopped thinking about her former friends.

She closed the book and began to dictate.

When it comes to memorizing something, nothing can help you find out what you have missed and fill in the gaps better than writing it out loud.

When she was writing the paragraph about "one should not underestimate oneself or make inappropriate analogies", her deskmate who was addicted to World of Warcraft finally came back.

The boy was a typical internet addict, skinny, with dark circles under his eyes. As soon as he came back, he lay down on the table to catch up on his sleep.

Lin Chaoxi was pushed unconsciously by him and could not help but squeezed to the window. She wanted to resist, but looking at the skinny arms of the internet-addicted boy, she felt that a fat girl like her should not bully others.

I lowered my head and wrote two more paragraphs. Everyone in the class came in groups of three or four.

Bao Xiaomeng fell asleep on the table. She looked at the entire "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" that she had memorized in her homework book, then opened the textbook and began to check and correct the answers on her own.

An Xiaoxiao also came back. She sat at the back of the classroom and looked very happy.

Ding ding ding.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the glass next to his head. Lin Chaoxi was startled. He looked up and saw the handsome face of classmate Zheng Matt appearing in the window.

Under the bright sunlight at noon, the boy's hair was dark brown and his skin was a healthy wheat yellow. He had a series of pierced ears on his right ear, but the school did not allow him to wear earrings, so he stuffed toothpicks into his ear holes, giving him a weird, rustic feel.

What's even more bizarre is that he has a nose ring, and there is also a toothpick stuck upright in the hole of the nose ring.

He opened the window and spoke with his head down. Lin Chaoxi quickly stepped back, fearing that he would be poked by the toothpick on his nose.

"Did he bully you? I'll help you beat him up?" Matt Zheng withdrew his gaze from the cup of milk tea on the corner of her desk and pointed at the internet-addicted teenager sitting at her desk.

Lin Zhaoxi: "No need, I can beat him myself."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Matt came closer and smiled, "I just waited for you in the cafeteria for a long time. I didn't get to drink Chaoxi's milk tea, so I was super thirsty."

Lin Zhaoxi: "Because I suddenly want to drink milk tea too."

"Chao Xi, do you want to drink? Do you want me to ask my little brother to buy it for you?"

It was the same routine. Lin Chaoxi avoided the toothpick on his face again.

It seems that what Huajuan said is correct?

Lin Chaoxi looked at Zheng Matt's face and always felt that this boy's greasy way of picking up girls was only at the level of an elementary school student. Maybe it was because of his good-looking face that Lin Chaoxi liked him.

It's hard to describe how obsessed they are with looks.

She felt sad for her own vision, and looked at Zheng Matt with the same sadness: "Go back to your seat and have a rest. The lunch break inspector will be here soon."

After she finished speaking, she closed the classroom window, pulled the safety bolt, and locked the window.

Classmate Zheng Matt was standing outside the window in a daze, probably thinking to himself, "How dare you, a woman, do this to me?" Lin Chaoxi ignored him and continued to recite and correct his mistakes.

I think there are also English lessons and texts, how come I have missed so much...

In this inexplicable and very busy way, she spent the first noon after traveling through time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, as the nostalgic bell rang, their head teacher, Mr. Li, walked into the classroom.

Before she had time to stretch and rest for a while, her black high heels hit the floor tiles and a pile of homework books fell to the ground with a thud. Most people in the classroom were still asleep.

Lin Chaoxi turned around and pushed Bao Xiaomeng, trying to wake her up.

but……

"Why are you sleeping? Don't you know what time it is?" Teacher Li shouted, slapping the podium.

"He's still talking during class!"

This is insulting her.

Bao Xiaomeng opened her eyes in confusion, they looked at each other, and then Teacher Li gave her another blow.

"Lin Chaoxi, you like talking so much? It's a good time to get up and recite "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" to wake up the other students."

Bao Xiaomeng looked at her with sympathy. Lin Chaoxi closed her eyes and stood up helplessly.

"Recite it from beginning to end?"

"What do you think if you don't recite the whole thing?"

"All right."

She originally wanted to ask if her class time would be insufficient if she listened to her recite for a few minutes, but since the teacher said so, she started on her own.

"'The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital', by Zhuge Liang." She stood very straight, her voice loud and fluent.

"The late emperor died before his cause was even halfway established. Today, the world is divided into three parts, and Yizhou is exhausted..."

Outside the window is the green playground, where students in the afternoon physical education class are running laps.

The cicadas were chirping, the afternoon breeze was warm and refreshing, and the classroom was filled with a complex scent left by young people who had been there for a long time. This scent has another name, which may be called youth.

From the moment Teacher Li called her name, almost all the students woke up. The boys and girls were all looking forward to the show at first, but gradually, most of them were shocked.

"Be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. This is why the ancient Han Dynasty prospered; ..."

Lin Chaoxi glanced around the classroom, wondering how badly she had studied before. She had only read "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital".

At the podium, Teacher Li's stern face relaxed, and her eyes behind her serious gold-rimmed glasses narrowed with satisfaction, but she did not mean to stop, so Lin Chaoxi could only continue to recite.

"...Now I have to leave you far away. I am in tears as I write this letter and I don't know what to say." She finished reading the last paragraph and stopped silently.

The classroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Teacher Li paused for a few seconds before saying, "You recited well! Please sit down."

Lin Chaoxi nodded. He was feeling sleepy at first, but he felt much better after standing and reciting the book for a while.

"You're obviously very smart, but you just don't work hard!"

Before her butt touched the bench, Teacher Li gave her another lecture.

"And you all, I think you all have good brains. If you can put your minds away from playing games and reading books and focus on studying, I think our class will be able to surpass Class 1 and Class 2."

"Teacher, this still won't work, right?" Zheng Matt, a student at the end of the classroom, called out in a drawn-out tone.

"You have no ambition at all!" Teacher Li said sternly, "Hurry up and take the things out of your nose and ears. I'm going to have a heart attack."

"We mean, how can we not play games, right, Brother Zhu!"

"Yes~"

On the right, his deskmate suddenly sat up straight and answered, and Lin Chaoxi was startled again.

The whole class turned around and laughed loudly. She couldn't help but laugh too. The atmosphere in Class 13 seemed to be very good.

"Since you all have no idea about the Zhongming class, I'll just say a few words." Teacher Li cleared his throat, "There will be a grade-level exam on the 1st of next month, and the Zhongming class will be re-divided."

"Wow!" the students exclaimed.

Teacher Li looked down at the classroom and was very satisfied with the students' reaction.

"But what does it have to do with us?" Zheng Matt shouted.

"Yes, teacher, we don't want to leave you!"

The boys and girls laughed again and joked around, but the matter of the class placement test went in one ear and out the other.

There was a glimmer of disappointment in Teacher Li's eyes.

But it seemed like she had no idea what to do with these children. She could only ask everyone to turn to page 4 and start talking about today's lesson.

Like pressing a start button.

The student sitting in front of her was reading a novel, her deskmate and the boy sitting behind her were discussing equipment dropped from World of Warcraft, and Bao Xiaomeng threw a note to her from behind, inviting her to go to the jewelry store to look at new goods.

Lin Chaoxi couldn't laugh this time.

Teacher Li's words woke her up.

Anning Experimental Junior High School holds a class placement test every academic year. Zhong Lin Chaoxi dropped out of the Zhongming class in the second-year junior high school unified examination and was assigned to Class 13 to fill the vacant seat.

Although she once lived in the strawberry world, she had never been admitted to the Zhongming class.

Because the atmosphere in their class 3 was also very good, she immersed herself in the same relaxed and leisurely atmosphere. She read novels and watched TV series with the girls in the class every day, and stopped after finishing her homework.

Like a frog in boiling water, my grades were just okay and I had no ambition to achieve any particular ranking. Three years passed like this.

But if she wants to return to Zhongming's class, then this grade-level exam is her only chance.

Lin Chaoxi picked up Bao Xiaomeng's note and never passed it back.

She opened a brand new exercise book and wrote the three words "Zhongming Class" on the first line, highlighting it in red.
