Located in the city center, No. 3 Middle School boasts the largest high school campus and top-tier educational resources in S City. Its first-tier university admission rate has repeatedly exceeded 75%, and thousands of students try their best to get into No. 3 Middle School every year.

The educational approach at No. 3 Middle School is not about forcing students or strictly controlling their time; rather, it truly achieves a balance between work and rest.

There will never be a missed physical education class every week, and extracurricular activities will not disappear without reason.

Chen Wenzhi had personally experienced how difficult it was to get into No. 3 Middle School, so he was particularly curious about the girl standing next to him. There were only two types of transfer students at No. 3 Middle School.

1. Has a relationship with a high-ranking school leader.

Second: The individual is exceptionally outstanding.

He looked left and right and thought Ying Qian was probably one of them. She was a silly girl, how good could her grades be?

He probably forgot that Ying Qian was in the same examination room as him.

His gaze lingered on Ying Qian almost imperceptibly, yet with the restraint expected of a man, avoiding looking where he shouldn't.

"Are you judging me by my looks?" Ying Qian asked bluntly, her small face tilting slightly towards the frozen boy. "So, have you come to a conclusion?"

Her voice was soft and gentle, and very straightforward, like that of a child who had never experienced the ways of the world.

He remained silent for a long time, so Ying Qian chuckled and convicted him: "Peeping at pretty female students! Very good~"

Chen Wenzhi opened his lips, wanting to explain the reason, but due to his poor speaking skills, his lips moved but no sound came out, and he had no choice but to admit to the crime of "peeping at pretty female students".

His embarrassment, accompanied by a blush, crept up his neck. He coughed twice, trying to sound aloof, but couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

His prominent Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he finally spoke, "You..."

Ying Qian cut him off, laughing so hard she couldn't stop. "Your neck is all red, buddy. How can you be so easily amused?"

She just happened to catch a glimpse of his furtive gaze and wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect Chen Wenzhi to be so easily amused...

Upon hearing the words "peeping at pretty female students," Chen Wenzhi's pupils dilated and his face flushed red.

At first, she panicked and tried to explain herself, but then, for some reason, her face turned red from her neck upwards.

Unbeknownst to them, the distance between them was broken, and they got closer and closer. It no longer mattered who took the first step.

The rustling sound of fabric was drowned out by the rustling sound of fallen leaves underfoot.

She was somewhat smug. After staying in the hospital for so long, she hadn't had a normal social life for a long time. Meeting someone like Chen Wenzhi really added a lot of fun to her mundane life.

Until they reached the magnificent gate of the Third Middle School, the two did not exchange another word. They simply stood arm in arm, as if nothing had happened.

However, Chen Wenzhi's face still had a lingering flush.

The main gate of the Third Middle School was teeming with people, and electric bikes were weaving through traffic. The school security guards were managing the crowds and vehicles with ease.

People were everywhere. Although there wasn't a throng of people, there were too many people squeezing into the school gate from all directions. Black and white school uniforms, blue and white school uniforms, and black and red school uniforms were all gathered somewhere inside the school gate.

Ying Qian smelled the mixture of various breakfast foods and sweat in the air, and couldn't help but gag, feeling so uncomfortable that her eyes rolled back.

The boy patted her back a few times and put a mint in her mouth. She felt much better. The coolness of the mint melted in her mouth, with a subtle sweetness amidst the bitterness.

She looked at Chen Wenzhi with eyes full of gratitude.

He pursed his lips, his neat black hair falling over his forehead, slightly obscuring his eyes and brows, but it wasn't hard to see the irritation in his eyes and brows.

As he turned his head, his long, narrow, dark eyes cast a cold and indifferent gaze upon her grateful eyes. Chen Wenzhi's expression froze for a moment, then suddenly softened.

Ying Qian thought to herself, "How can his face have so many complicated emotions... I thought he was expressionless when we first met."

She couldn't figure out what the person in front of her was thinking. As she pondered, she felt a familiar touch on her wrist.

His palms were dry and warm, and his slightly cool skin quickly warmed up.

Chen Wenzhi told Ying Qian that the reason why the traffic was so congested on Monday was mostly because teachers were catching students who weren't wearing school uniforms.

Ying Qian blinked innocently a few times. He held her very lightly, so lightly that she could easily escape his grasp if she tried to break free.

He walked very fast, and Ying Qian had to exert some effort to keep up with his pace.

They walked around the high wall and onto a small path next to the school.

The path was still a crossroads, but two rows of tall birch trees stood straight on either side. It was the season for falling leaves, and the withered yellow leaves drifted down leisurely.

It was quiet, but the noise of students could be heard not far away.

The birch trees made the person appear small.

Chen Wenzhi slowed down and glanced at the girl who was panting heavily. Her nose was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she was breathing heavily. Her face was red from the wind.

"Your physical condition is quite poor." He shrugged a few times and said casually, "I don't know how you'll survive in No. 3 Middle School in the future."

Ying Qian had finally calmed down, and when he said that, she hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

She was terrified. What kind of demons or monsters were in those three places?

While waiting for his reply, she quickly assessed her surroundings. On one side was a school, and on the other... it seemed to be a residential area.

"You'll find out when the time comes." He raised the corner of his eye slightly, feigning mystery.

Ying Qian didn't listen; she was focused on observing the neighborhood next door.

"Don't look, the girls' dormitory is next door, where senior high school students and other students from other grades live on campus," Chen Wenzhi said.

Ying Qian looked troubled and slowly asked, "So, senior year students have to live on campus?"
