The entire first year of high school was filled with complaints.

Students who have just finished taking the middle school or college entrance exams often indulge in retaliatory eating, drinking, and entertainment.

During summer vacation, everyone indulges in unrestrained behavior, and anyone who even glances at a textbook is considered a dog.

Dong Biao, in particular, looked at Wang Peng with hatred in his eyes and joined his classmates in shouting that it was unfair.

A note was placed on Wang Peng's desk, from his deskmate Li Mengjiao.

During the military training period, all the students were scrambling to preview the first-year high school textbooks, but Wang Peng was studying his junior high school knowledge day and night.

The note read, "You're so lucky, but I'm confident I'll get first place!"

Wang Peng tore a piece from his notebook and wrote, "From now on, use your mouth to say what you want to say. Writing notes is a waste of notebooks and ink."

After reading the note, Li Mengjiao turned her head and rolled her eyes at him before quietly slipping the note into her desk.

Class teacher Chen Qingshu smiled as he watched the complaining students until the complaints subsided.

"Classmates, let me say a few words."

"I think the diagnostic test has two main purposes. First, it checks whether everyone's foundation is solid."

"Everyone is not studying during the summer vacation, so whoever has a solid foundation will get better grades. It's fair."

"Secondly, the school should check students' learning attitudes. There will always be students who love learning and do not forget to study during the summer vacation."

At this point, he looked at Wang Peng.

Wang Peng scratched his head, thinking to himself, "Why are you looking at me like that? I just found out about the preliminary test in advance."

The diagnostic test officially began at eight o'clock the next morning.

The tests were in Chinese, Math, and English in the morning, and in Physics, Chemistry, and History in the afternoon. Then the results came out.

Li Mengjiao was very happy. She ranked first in the entire grade and fulfilled her bold statement of surpassing Wang Peng's academic performance.

She glanced at Wang Peng out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was also very happy, staring at the test paper with a broad smile.

"He's only ranked 48th in the grade, he's fallen so much, why is he so happy?"

Li Mengjiao was puzzled and picked up her pen again to write a small note.

"Wang Peng, don't try to find joy in suffering, and don't deceive yourself. I know you're not feeling well."

"Don't be discouraged if you didn't do well on this test. Study hard and try to surpass me next time."

A note was secretly passed over, and Wang Peng almost burst out laughing. He immediately replied, "Whoever is unhappy is a dog."

I am genuinely happy, and I am genuinely joyful.

An uncle who had left school twenty years ago returned to 1993 and, by studying during the summer vacation, achieved a good result of 48th place.

This is enough to prove that I have a strong learning ability, which lays the foundation for getting into university.

In addition, the 48th place student will definitely stay in the top class.

Wang Peng sent another note to Li Mengjiao.

"My goal is just to be in the top 100. Forty-eighth is a pleasant surprise. You're telling me to find joy in hardship?"

"Xiao Meng, thank you for explaining the difficult problem to me. School is closed tomorrow morning, so let me treat you to lunch."

"Just tell me what you want to eat, it's on me."

After writing the note in great detail, he passed it to Li Mengjiao from under the table.

Two minutes later, Li Mengjiao replied.

"No need to be polite. My dad doesn't allow me to eat out, and he especially doesn't allow me to eat with boys."

"Dong Biao's grades are outside the top 200, while the two key classes only require the top 100."

“He and his parents are both unreasonable people; you should be careful of them.”

After reading the note, Wang Peng turned to her, smiled, and whispered a thank you.

Since her father wouldn't let her come out for dinner, she decided to bring gifts to her house to express her gratitude, as her house wasn't far from her rented apartment.

Wang Peng turned to look at his deskmate, Dong Biao.

Dong Biao's face turned red and his neck thickened as he glared at his exam paper, gritting his teeth.

He spent the entire summer playing Super Mario, his mind solely focused on rescuing the trapped princess, and his grades naturally plummeted.

"You've also fallen by more than forty places. It's like the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it?" He glared at Wang Peng.

"Dude, you're getting impatient already?" Wang Peng chuckled. "Even though I've regressed, I can still sit at the same table as Mengjiao, but you don't have that chance. What a pity."

"Wang Peng!" Dong Biao slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

Bang--

The classroom fell silent, and Dong Biao became the center of attention.

"Don't get cocky, I'll never let you get away with this!" He completely broke down.

"Oh, you're really in a hurry?" Wang Peng stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Hey, what are you trying to do?"

Wang Peng was tall and strong, while Dong Biao was short and fat.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds. Dong Biao gritted his teeth and sat down. He knew he couldn't win a fight.

At this moment, the homeroom teacher, Chen Qingshu, led four students into the classroom.

One of them turned out to be Du Lei, and Wang Peng didn't recognize the other three boys.

"Dong Biao, Zhang Wensong, Kang Junjian, Li Shuangjian."

"You four pack your books and come with me to Class 18."

"Don't be discouraged. As long as you study hard, you can achieve good results no matter which class you are in."

Chen Qingshu smiled and comforted them.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive; the four of them were about to be kicked out of the top class, and they couldn't help but shed tears of sadness.

Dong Biao didn't cry. He packed his textbooks with a dark face and muttered as he left, "Wang Peng, don't be too smug. I won't let you get away with this."

"Bring it on," Wang Peng said with a smile, spreading his hands.

Chen Qingshu led the four of them away, and Du Lei and three others took their places.

"Brother Peng, haha!" Du Lei stopped pretending and hugged Wang Peng directly. "I won't say anything more. From now on, you're my big brother."

When Du Lei went to Xinjiang, Wang Peng shared information about the preliminary test with him.

When he arrived in Xinjiang, he took care of his pregnant mother while asking his father to borrow junior high school textbooks so he could review his lessons.
