One day, her best friend rushed over, holding her phone as if something major had happened: Zhen Tian, your man is on a matchmaking website!
Zhen Tian: ???
Another day, after attending ...
Zhen Tian thought that being sent off meant being taken to the airport.
Ji Yuzhi escorted him all the way to his home in H City.
After having dinner, he took a late-night flight back to S City.
"You've gone back to your bedroom. You're really something now, deciding to run off to another city without caring about me and your dad..."
Lu Ti's dissatisfied voice was cut off by Zhen Tian and sent outside the door.
She quickly took a shower, then lay on the bed to catch up on her missed online classes.
In the middle of the night, when Lu Ti came out to get water, she saw that Zhen Tian's room light was still on.
"Sweetie, are you still awake?" Lu Ti knocked on the door.
Zhen Tian poked her head out from under the covers: "Go to sleep, I'm going to sleep now."
She grabbed the remote control from the bedside table and turned off the light.
Only after hearing her mother's footsteps disappear did Zhen Tian turn on her phone's flashlight and crawl back into bed.
The tablet inside was showing online classes.
She was still holding a pen in her hand, and a notebook was placed between her supporting arms.
There were even commercial breaks halfway through the class.
Zhen Tian looked at the promotional slogan above.
[One exam determines your future, get insurance now! Learn, learn, learn Education's comprehensive tutoring program for senior high school students, first month free, annual fee 20% off. Easily get into a top university.]
"20% off?" Zhen Tian was tempted: "Buy, buy, buy!"
She acquired another learning course worth 16,000 yuan.
This study session lasted for half the night.
Zhen Tian didn't know where she got the willpower from, but she persevered for more than two months, studying until almost dawn at night, sleeping for a few hours, and then getting up to go to school.
On my days off, I also go out with the study group consisting of Shao Junli, Ye Qingyan, and Yang Feiguang to fill in any gaps in my knowledge.
It must be said that the learning was effective.
Ye Qingyan held her report card from the third monthly exam and kept sighing.
"My God, I can't believe I ever scored 300 on a test."
Ye Qingyan, total score 301, ranked 987th on the list, Chinese...
The report card displayed these words.
Let's take a look at Zhen Tian.
Ye Qingyan slapped the table in surprise: "Tian Tian, you got almost 400 points! It's a pity, you were just two points away from getting over 400."
"Um."
Zhen Tian was still sullen.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Qingyan retorted, "Aren't you happy about taking so many exams?"
"I estimate I'll get over 420 this time." Studying is tough, Zhen Tian sighed, "When will I ever get into Beijing Foreign Studies University?"
"You can't get fat in a day." Shao Junli walked over and said, "You're already doing very well. If you keep going, you'll definitely pass the second-tier university entrance exam."
"I want to apply to Beijing Foreign Studies University..."
Zhen Tian hummed mournfully twice.
Suddenly her expression brightened again: "It seems the 'sea of courses' strategy is working. I'm going to buy a few more courses."
During breaks between classes, she didn't even look at the menu; she just swiped through all the senior year classes and placed orders.
"No way, can you even keep track of all this?" Ye Qingyan was stunned. In just a few minutes, Zhen Tian had already ordered three items. None of them were cheap.
"If I can't read it all, I'll just watch it at double speed. Anyway, I'm going to take the entrance exam for Beijing Foreign Studies University."
Ye Qingyan grinned, thinking that Zhen Tian had already won over the magic wand.
"Sweetie is rich too." Yang Feiguang exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the amount of money that had been spent.
"Borrowed." Zhen Tian continued placing the order without looking up.
"To borrow money to study is such a noble spirit. It's truly admirable." Yang Feiguang led the applause.
Ye Qingyan and Shao Junli followed suit, making Zhen Tian blush deeply: "What are you doing?"
"Hey, seriously. Lu's team made it to the knockout stage of the World Championship this year. They're just one step away from the World Championship..." Yang Feiguang first praised Lu Lin for how amazing he was, then exaggerated how terrible the ticket-buying channel was, and finally, he chuckled, "Sweetie, for our sake, could you ask Lu to get me a ticket? I really can't get one. I can pay for it."
"The World Championship?" Zhen Tian asked, puzzled. "Is this the most important competition?"
"Of course! Globally, you know? It's the final battle of all the world's top players, and now Brother Lu is being touted as a world-class mid-laner! His value is skyrocketing!"
Yang Feiguang then gave Zhen Tian another lesson.
Zhen Tian thought for a moment and said, "Okay. I'll ask the young man."
A moment later, she couldn't help but slap her head; she had completely forgotten everything. She hadn't even paid attention to the guy's competition.
As I thought about it, even the full-course program in my hands didn't seem so appealing anymore.
After school that evening, Zhen Tian first asked Lu Lin for the tickets.
"No problem, give me as many as you want, little sister. I'll go get them." Their club has internal tickets, so it would be a waste not to use them.
After hanging up the phone, Zhen Tian thought for a moment and then made another call.
"Hello... Uncle... This is Sweetie."
This year's competitions were postponed significantly for various reasons. The World Championship, which usually concludes by the end of November, didn't begin its knockout stage until early December this year, a delay of a full two weeks.
Ye Qingyan naturally didn't want to miss such a lively 'extracurricular activity'.
That day, she and Zhen Tian walked down the street discussing what to bring to S City and also asking their teacher for leave.
"We have to keep the light board from last time, but we have to change the words this time. From now on, our Brother Lu will be the global champion." Ye Qingyan and Zhen Tian came out of the stationery store with a big light board in their hands, the kind that lights up when you write on it.
"I haven't received it yet," Zhen Tian said with a smile.
"That's hard to say. Hey..." Ye Qingyan pointed to a landmark building not far away: "I didn't expect it to be so close to our school."
"Really? Have we been taking a longer route every time we go to McDonald's?" Zhen Tian was also confused. She had been following her memory and hadn't noticed that there was actually another shortcut.
"We're so silly!" Ye Qingyan and Zhen Tian were all huddled together.
"Dad, please let me go!"
"no."
"Dad, this is the last time, the global finals! Lu Ge is a student from our school! Shouldn't we go and support him?"
"They're about to win the championship, and what about you? After you finish college, you can go wherever you want!"
"Dad, Dad, Dad! Let me go. I'll come back and study hard after I'm done."
"Really? You can learn?"
As the two were laughing so hard they were doubled over, they heard two familiar voices. The voices grew closer until the two people's faces came into view.
"Brother Yang? Old Yang?"
"Brother Yang? Teacher Yang?"
"Sweet girl? Qingyan?"
"Hey, it's you guys?"
Four voices, some surprised and some hesitant, rang out simultaneously.
"What?! Old Yang is your dad?" Ye Qingyan's eyes widened.
"Hehehe..." Yang Feiguang touched the tip of his nose and chuckled for a long time: "I didn't mean to hide it from you guys, and none of you knew."
"Huh? You two are father and son?"
