Back upstairs, it took Zhou Chen quite a while to calm down completely.
I took out my books and focused all my attention on studying.
Tomorrow is his first mock exam since returning to school. Although he knows his score might not be ideal, Zhou Chen will still try his best to get just one more point.
Teacher Wu had high expectations for him, and he didn't want to disappoint her too much.
This time, working late into the night,
Before he knew it, it was already past midnight. Considering that he needed to get up early the next day to go to the market to buy vegetables, Zhou Chen had to rest.
Wearing their school uniforms, they arrived at the market early to buy vegetables, making them particularly eye-catching.
He was the only one in the entire market.
Perhaps out of consideration for his status as a student, the vegetable vendor voluntarily rounded down the price.
Zhou Chen tied a large bag of vegetables to the back of the bicycle seat, with two large bags hanging on either side of the handlebars. Ignoring the strange looks from those around him, he pedaled hard and moved forward little by little.
Construction site canteen
Sister Li Juan and Wang Lan had arrived long ago and were busy preparing breakfast.
After greeting the two, Zhou Chen immediately joined in, helping with picking vegetables, rinsing rice, adding fuel to the fire, and so on.
The workers gradually arrived for breakfast. Zhou Chen waited for his mentor, Xu Laoqi, to arrive. He sat at a table with Xu Laoqi, eating and chatting, learning about what was happening on the construction site. It was a kind of spice in his life.
In comparison, interacting with students a few years younger than her at school...
Zhou Chen preferred to be with his mentor, Xu Laoqi, and many of his fellow workers.
perhaps,
It's because he's too mature and has almost nothing in common with people his age.
Back at school
Zhou Chen took his mock exam class seat number and went to another class to wait for the exam.
To his surprise, in the first mock exam, he was assigned to the same class as his second sister, Zhou Na.
Zhou Na is a good student, and Zhou Chen knows this.
In her previous life, Zhou Na was one of the few students in the entire No. 1 High School who was admitted to a key university, making it onto the campus popularity list and leaving a significant mark on the history of No. 1 High School.
Even Teacher Wu praised Zhou Na, saying she has a bright future.
The second sister, Zhou Na, is very outstanding.
If he weren't so ungrateful, Zhou Chen, as the older brother, would feel very proud. In his previous life, he was indeed proud and honored to see Zhou Na get into a good university, and he would tell everyone that his sister was a student at a top university.
Many people envied him, thinking that as the eldest brother, he had finally succeeded in supporting his younger sister Zhou Na and would surely live a good life with her in the future.
He did have a fleeting fantasy at the time.
Unfortunately, after starting university, Zhou Na only contacted him when she needed tuition fees; otherwise, she never took the initiative to contact him.
After graduating from university, Zhou Na started earning her own money. Even during the Chinese New Year, she would not come back, using the excuse of being too busy with work to come back. A few years later, even the excuses disappeared, and she vanished completely, leaving Zhou Chen heartbroken.
In the eyes of his second sister, Zhou Na, he had become a dispensable burden.
He withdrew his gaze from Zhou Na.
Zhou Chen stopped thinking about his past life. In this life, he had a chance to start over. He wouldn't place his hopes on others; he would rely on himself for his future.
Your future is something you create yourself.
He, Zhou Chen, will also get into a good university. It's not too late, everything is still possible.
After finishing the first exam, Zhou Na handed in her paper and left the classroom immediately.
This way, the brother and sister can avoid meeting each other.
Zhou Chen was pleased to see this, knowing that Zhou Na knew he was taking the exam in the same class and had done it on purpose.
For the next few exams, Zhou Na always left immediately after finishing the exam and entered the classroom just before the exam was about to begin.
She didn't look back even once throughout the entire process.
afternoon,
After finishing the last exam, Zhou Chen immediately felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.
As for how the exam went today...
Zhou Chen couldn't help but give a helpless, bitter smile. Although he really wanted to get a decent score, it seemed he was going to embarrass himself this time and disappoint Teacher Wu.
He left many questions blank, completely clueless.
If you ask him which subject he finds most relaxing, it would be Chinese and English.
The mock exam results came out the next day, and a grade-level ranking was also conducted.
As expected, Zhou Chen's score was very low, not even reaching the top 200.
In contrast, the second sister, Zhou Na, is outstanding, scoring 643 in the mock exam and ranking in the top ten of the class, making her a true top student.
There's still a big gap.
Zhou Chen shrugged, a faint, bitter smile playing on his lips.
On the other end,
In Zhou Na's class, the first thing Zhou Na looked for when she received the school rankings was her own score. When she saw that she was ranked tenth, she was slightly disappointed because she felt that if she had made one less mistake and improved by one point, she would have been ninth, just a little bit short.
After putting down the ranking list, Zhou Na picked it up again and started looking for a particular person's name.
As a result, she watched the whole thing from beginning to end, and around the 200th position, she saw the person she knew all too well.
209!
Zhou Na found the ranking quite laughable.
With grades like these, what's the point of going back to school?
Even with almost a year left, is it possible for them to break into the top ten of the campus rankings?
To rise from outside the top 200 to the top few is harder than climbing to heaven.
Zhou Na shook her head. She was initially a little nervous and even felt pressured. If Zhou Chen came back and made a stunning debut, her spotlight would quickly fade, and she would once again become Zhou Chen's foil.
