Just a second before the teacher entered the classroom, Yan Chiyu suddenly leaned forward, placed his hand on the stack of books in front of Wu Yue's desk, turned his head slightly, and asked in a low voice.
What are your thoughts on this reservation?
The sound rippled gently, intoxicating like warm wine, crisp like jade beads on a plate, reminding her of the sound of clear stream water hitting brown stones.
Wu Yue looked up at him, a smile playing on her lips and her eyes: "I admit it."
I admit you're my pre-arranged boyfriend.
I admit your voice is alluring and beautiful.
Yan Chiyu turned his face away, covered half of his face with his hand, and his lips curled up wildly.
"In two weeks, we will have our first mock exam for senior high school students. Be sure to study hard, everyone." Mu Lingzhang's calm and gentle voice came from the podium.
"Although our class is last in the grade, I have seen your papers from the last semester's final exams, and they are very good. You have escaped the nightmare of being last. I believe you are smarter than others."
Mu Lingzhang took a sip of tea from his thermos, smiled with narrowed eyes: "You are all children from wealthy families. I hope that you will not only be better than others in terms of family background, far surpassing their starting line, but I also hope that your academic performance will be the same. I don't mind if you block every path, leaving others with no way to go."
But the problem now is that you've given up on yourselves, lying like old men on wicker chairs under the big tree at the intersection, are you eating melons or listening to opera?
certainly,……"
Mu Lingzhang's voice was very calm, without any passionate excitement. Surprisingly, this drew the students' attention to him, and they listened very attentively.
Wu Yue thought that if Mu Lingzhang were to become the head of a pyramid scheme, the effect would be outstanding.
"Some people say that years later, when you look back on the college entrance exam, there's really no such thing as a good or bad score. What's important is that young people get together, take the exam, and then decide which city to go to as personal shoppers. Now, the teacher wants to revise this statement."
I think if you're going to do personal shopping, you should go to places near prestigious universities or big cities where there are many high-end brands... You were born in a top-tier city like Beijing, what reason do you have not to work a little harder? I don't want you to be rich kids who just eat, drink, and wait to die.
If any of you feel you're not smart enough, often get criticized by your family, or feel neglected, then I think you still need to try harder. Only after trying will you realize you really aren't smart, and it's better to give up on that idea.
The first period was originally scheduled to be a class taught by Mu Lingzhang, but for some reason, he ended up teaching a class meeting instead. His occasional witty remarks made the students burst into laughter.
...
...
Over the next two weeks, perhaps poisoned by Mu Lingzhang's toxic motivational quotes, or perhaps inspired by them, most of the students in Class 18 worked hard, regardless of their motives.
It's not to the point of burning the midnight oil to study.
Even hanging oneself by the hair or pricking one's thigh with an awl wouldn't be enough.
But at least she started doing her own homework instead of just copying it; her habit of throwing her schoolbag aside and playing games as soon as she got home also changed to memorizing formulas and doing one or two practice tests after getting home.
While everyone else was focused on their studies, Wu Yue had no interest in learning and was preoccupied with finding her parents.
After school that day, just as Yan Chiyu got into the car and Uncle Min was about to start the engine, a girl wearing a hoodie suddenly stepped out from in front of the car. Her gaze seemed to be fixed on Yan Chiyu's face through the windshield, and her lips curled into a half-smile, her meaning ambiguous.
"Yan Chiyu".
While the boy was in a daze, the car door beside him opened, and Wu Yue crawled in.
