Chapter 114 I want to study for a Ph.D.

Wen Zhile curled her lips slightly: "I'll listen to you."

She doesn't have a headache.

She knew from a young age that you can't get hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't reach the top in one step. Everything must be done step by step, whether it is studying or finding the real murderer.

She was just a little sad. She might have died an ugly death in her previous life, but the past could not be changed. It was okay to think about it occasionally. Thinking too much would be a burden.

Wen Zhile calmed down and continued to attend the class.

She died at a young age and had a very good memory, so the knowledge she learned in her previous life was still deeply imprinted in her mind. Now the undergraduate courses are like child's play to her, so much so that she often wants to skip grades.

In her previous life, she did not get a Ph.D. for some reasons, so this time she wanted to try hard to make up for her regrets.

If she could skip a grade successfully, she could graduate with a Ph.D. at the age of 20, which would be as fast as the geniuses in the junior class.

She envied them the most in her previous life. They were human beings too, but their brains were so good that learning was as easy as breathing, as if it took no effort at all.

However, it is highly unlikely that she will be able to jump directly from her freshman year to take the doctoral exam. It would be good enough if she could skip two levels.

But Wen Zhile is not picky, so this is fine.

If she works hard and skips two grades, she can graduate with a PhD at the age of 23.

The same age as in the previous life but with a higher level of education, it’s exciting just thinking about it.

"Skipping grades" is just a verbal term. The correct term should be completing sufficient graduation credits ahead of time.

Wen Zhile calculated all the courses he had taken in his four years of college in his previous life. If he gritted his teeth and gave it a try, he could complete the credits and apply for graduation in two years.

But that would make her schedule too tight, and she would have to spend almost all of her time in class.

What Wen Zhile loves is learning, not suffering.

It's okay to neglect sleep and food occasionally, but it would be too hard to do so every day. She still prefers to relax a little and enjoy the fun of learning.

"Xiaojiu, can you count?"

【……】

[Of course I will, sister.]

"Then can you help me calculate how many years it will take me to get a doctorate if I take credits at a pace that's neither busy nor idle?"

[Okay, wait a moment.]

Shu Ying walked down from the podium while giving a lecture and tapped her daughter's desk, who was distracted.

Wen Zhile sat up straight in an instant and smiled sweetly at her mother.

At noon when school was over, Xiaojiu jumped out and said, "Sister, I have calculated it. You can save two years and graduate with a master's degree two years earlier than in your previous life."

That means taking the doctoral exam at the age of 21, which is great.

"You calculate pretty fast," she joked.

An hour and a half passed.

[I haven’t finished college, nor have I studied for a master’s or doctoral degree. I need time to look up information.]

It was just a plain line of words, but Wen Zhile felt guilty.

She didn't know what she felt guilty about. She took two steps and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry."

[It doesn’t matter. I’m only eighteen.]

Wen Zhile: “…”

"So you call me sister?"

[Is it not possible? ]

"Zhizhi, let's go eat together." Shu Ying came out of the next classroom and called her daughter.

Wen Zhile turned around and said, "Okay."

The classmates around him were envious.

"Mom, does our school have a system where I can get credits even if I don't attend classes but just take exams?"

After entering the teachers' cafeteria, Wen Zhile suddenly asked.

Shu Ying was stunned, then laughed: "What good things are you thinking about?"

"hey-hey."

"You were distracted in class today." Shu Ying scanned the dishes in the window and said slowly, "Mom knows you are a good student and can get high scores without attending classes, but you have to respect your teachers. It's okay to be distracted in Mom's class, but you have to pay attention in other teachers' classes."

"I know." The little girl looked at the window next to her, "Mom, I want to eat shrimp."

"Where is it?"

"Here, here."

Shu Ying walked over and asked the auntie who served the food to give her a full portion.

After finishing their lunch, the mother and daughter sat down nearby. Wen Zhile went to get two bowls of egg drop soup, and when she came back she asked, "Where's Dad?"

"He went out to eat. A friend invited him to a dinner party. It was Uncle Qin who came to our house to give out theatre tickets last time."

Speaking of him, Shu Ying recalled: "Your Uncle Qin had a crush on you the last time he saw you. As soon as you left that day, he said he wanted you to be the heroine of his new play. I guess he asked your dad out to dinner today to talk about this."

Wen Zhile drank some soup.

Uncle Qin also mentioned this in his previous life, and after being rejected by her, he found another girl to play the female lead. After the TV series was released, it became a hit all over the country, and the leading actors also became famous.

What was not too much was another version of the script in which the setting of the heroine was modified.

Uncle Qin said that he couldn't find a girl with her fashionable looks, so he simply changed the heroine into a hard-working and simple farm girl.

She put down the bowl and said with a smile, "Can I play the heroine with my looks? Uncle Qin wouldn't write a script where the heroine is a rich girl, right?"

Anyone who sees her now can tell that she is a girl who grew up with coquettish habits.

"Really." Shu Ying laughed. She had heard a lot about the heroine's setting. "Your Uncle Qin has always been imaginative and daring. Others write about hardworking and brave heroines, but he insists on writing the opposite."
