A high school
On the iron fence at the school gate, there are large red signs with the names of many students printed on them.
All the students who were successfully admitted to the universities they applied to were displayed on a large sign, making it easy to see at a glance.
When Zhou Chen rode his bicycle back to school,
Many students were looking for their names in front of the big sign, while some younger students looked at the names of those who had been admitted to good universities and showed envy and motivation.
"Zhou Chen, you're here."
"Zhou, the academic star."
Whether they knew him or not, classmates who saw Zhou Chen immediately smiled and greeted him.
Zhou Chen smiled and nodded. With the help of his classmates, he quickly found his name on the large sign.
Actually, his name is the most eye-catching and easiest to find, because it's on the first sign, at the very beginning.
As the top scorer in the province, being admitted to Yenching University, one of the top universities in China, is an enviable achievement and a source of pride for the university.
Looking at himself, who was at the forefront, ranked first, and firmly in the center position, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
Thinking back to this day in his previous life, he was on his way to work at a construction site. Although he knew that his name was not on the big sign and could not possibly appear there, he still walked over and looked at the glory that belonged to others.
Now, he no longer needs to envy others.
He changed his life, made up for his past regrets, and was greeted with a path that no one else could have imagined.
Scroll down following your own name.
To Zhou Chen's surprise, he discovered that he wasn't the only one who got into Peking University; two of his female classmates also did.
If he remembered correctly, in his previous life, no one in this year's class got into Peking University.
Now, including him and two girls from his class, a total of three people have been admitted to Yenching University. In other words, while he changed his own life, the lives of others also seem to have undergone changes, big or small.
It seems that his excellence inspired some of his classmates, leading them to achieve even better results than before.
Zhou Chen didn't know whether it was good or bad for these people whose fates had changed, but he figured it was mostly good.
As Zhou Chen's gaze gradually swept downwards, he saw some names that used to be frequently ranked at the top of the leaderboard. These people's scores were similar to those in the mock exams, but not as high as those of his classmates. They used to be in the top five of the leaderboard, but now they have been squeezed out. Instead, several female classmates from his class have taken the top spots.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Chen's class was the best-performing class in the entire grade.
Wu Yingjie must have been the most gratified and happiest, having stolen the limelight from all the current year's homeroom teachers.
Huh?
Zhou Chen's expression suddenly shifted, his gaze fixing on an extremely familiar name.
Zhou Na was admitted to Yenching University, another top-tier university. Although it is not as good as Yenching University, it is still a good school.
Moreover, Zhou Na's college entrance examination score was slightly higher than in her previous life.
It seems that his return to school to repeat his studies actually helped Zhou Na, motivating her to work harder and achieve a score higher than in his previous life, thus gaining admission to a better university.
He shrugged.
Zhou Chen stopped staring at Zhou Na's name and started looking for Li Kaile's name. Finally, after scanning through the large signs, he found Li Kaile's name at the very end of the last sign.
Good grief, last place!
Zhou Chen was both amused and exasperated. As classmates, they had both come in first place, except that he was in first place while Li Kaile was in last place.
After pausing for a moment, several male classmates arrived. While congratulating him on being admitted to Peking University, they discussed Li Kaile's grades, especially his consistently low ranking and his latest last place in the college entrance examination.
Zhou Chen and several classmates entered the school together.
As he stepped into the teaching building, he didn't notice that a person was standing not far behind him, watching him.
Zhou Na watched as Zhou Chen chatted and laughed with someone, disappearing into the teaching building.
Her feelings were quite complicated. She felt jealousy and envy towards Zhou Chen, as well as resentment, hatred, regret, shame, and many other emotions mixed together.
After a long while, having calmed herself down, Zhou Na finally looked away.
She walked up to the first big red sign to check the college admission results of a high school this year. The first name that caught her eye was Zhou Chen. As the top scorer in the province's college entrance examination, Zhou Chen was the first place winner, standing out prominently.
Zhou Na, silently biting her lip, searched downwards for her name.
Soon, she saw the university she had been accepted to, which filled her with indescribable excitement. She had succeeded and been admitted to her dream university.
From now on, she can completely escape Fanjia County, leave this place, and live in an environment where no one knows her.
Not everyone can be like Zhou Chen, knowing their acceptance status in advance.
For someone like Zhou Na, it's perfectly normal to find out today. The joy in Zhou Na's heart made her burst into tears. Thinking of all the hardships in her senior year of high school, tears welled up in her eyes. To save money, she only bought one or two dishes a day. In class, she was ostracized and no one was close to her. Back in the dormitory, she was isolated by her roommates. In the end, she applied for a dormitory room to herself.
She suffered too many grievances.
But at this moment, Zhou Na felt that all the grievances were worthwhile. She had not let herself down, nor had she let down her three years of hard work. Now she was one step closer to making a name for herself.
"Some people don't deserve to get into such good universities at all. It's just not fair."
"Absolutely! A family of ungrateful wretches. They should be made to taste the bitterness of failing an exam."
"Even if you get into a good university, it's useless if you don't have good character. In the future, I guess no company will want you."
Several sarcastic, mocking voices rose up nearby.
Zhou Na looked at her familiar classmate in front of her, who was making sarcastic remarks without any restraint in front of her. She clenched her fists and this time, she did not remain silent.
"My ability to get into a good university is the result of my hard work. Instead of envying and being jealous, you should think about why you can't do it!"
"A bunch of students from second-tier universities are criticizing me, someone who got into a first-tier university. What right do you have? What courage do you have? In my opinion, you are not worthy at all."
Having said that,
Without giving them a chance to get angry, Zhou Na turned and left.
"you……"
"Zhou Na, did we name names? What gives you the right to say that about us?"
"So what if you got into a top university? What's so great about that? No matter how good you are, you're still Zhou Chen's defeated opponent. Zhou Chen is a hundred times better than you. You heartless ingrate."
Angry rebuttals kept coming from behind Zhou Na.
