Ever since the power went out at the stadium that day, Pei Xi had a strange feeling that Pei Zhi's mood seemed to have improved.
I don't know why, but things suddenly got better.
Pei Xi thought to herself, "As expected, he is indeed my brother. No matter what kind of injury he suffers, he can get over it quickly and immediately return to being a sunny young man."
However, before the sunshine lasted long, the intense and exciting mock exam for senior high school students began.
Even though there are 24 hours in a day, for some reason, time seems to pass much faster. That's probably the magical power of senior year.
Behind all the senior high school students, the footsteps of the college entrance examination are chasing after them, like a huge shadow gradually approaching, its outline and face becoming clearer and clearer.
The atmosphere gradually became tense.
As is customary each year, the first mock exam is a province-wide joint exam.
Jiang Cheng was not at school on the day the results were released.
He still frequently asked for leave, but his grades remained abnormally good.
He was so exceptional that he got first place in the mock exam.
First in the province.
The honor roll was posted next to the honor wall on the first floor, and the leaders and teachers of No. 1 Middle School were all beaming with joy.
Jiang Cheng's name is like a symbol in the world. Whether people like him or not, they can't deny his prowess when he's mentioned.
As it turns out, when a person has absolute strength, whether they are jealous of him or dislike him, they will all be convinced and shut their mouths.
After school, at Grandma's dessert shop, Pei Zhi took a big bite of taro, his mouth puffed out like a hamster's. As he chewed, he said indignantly, "I'm really impressed. Do you think Jiang Cheng is a reincarnation? The kind with memories of his previous life? I've never seen him studying hard before. I hardly ever see him at school, and yet he still gets such high scores."
Shi Chen rolled his eyes at him, "You've been reading too many novels."
Pei Zhi's mouth is just like that, especially when he's facing Jiang Cheng, even when he's praising someone, it sounds like he's complaining.
Shen Miaoyi spoke up weakly from the side: "Actually... I feel that people may really have memories of their past lives."
Shi Chen was taken aback, then looked at her with a smile in his peach blossom eyes, "Have you been reading too many novels?"
Shen Miaoyi pursed her lips shyly and shrank her neck.
"Pei Xi, what do you think?" She tugged at Pei Xi's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Pei Xi: "".
She wanted to say that she had already experienced it firsthand.
Even if it wasn't a past life, it must be some kind of parallel universe or something.
Otherwise, her dream couldn't be explained.
So she looked at the three of them hesitantly and said, "I think... anything is possible."
Pei Zhi suddenly snorted, as if he had caught something wrong, and raised an eyebrow at Shi Chen, "Three votes to one, you're out."
Shi Chen: "..."
Okay, okay, you three are all in cahoots.
Pei Xi ignored Pei Zhi's childish bickering beside her. She mechanically scooped into her bowl with her spoon, her mind filled with her dreams.
She then suddenly realized that she hadn't dreamed for a long time since last year.
So long ago, I almost forgot about it.
From the very beginning, it was because of this strange dream that she paid special attention to Jiang Cheng.
There may indeed be things in the world that cannot be explained.
Perhaps some unseen dark matter in the universe created a bond between them.
Pei Xi frowned, but there was something she still didn't quite understand: why did Jiang Cheng fall in love with her in the timeline of her dream?
The way he looked at her, though he tried his best to restrain himself, was still so intense that his emotions were almost overflowing, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Pei Xi's brow furrowed deeper; they shouldn't have any connection.
That's really strange.
His reverie was abruptly interrupted by Pei Zhi's light scoff. He said to Shi Chen, "By the way, I haven't mentioned you yet. Our young master Shi didn't rank last this time. What's going on? Did you secretly study behind our backs?"
Shi Chen didn't deny it, raising his eyebrows slightly, "Only you are allowed to study?"
He crossed his arms and seemed to sigh softly, “My dad said that if I don’t get into a university in China, he’ll send me abroad. I don’t want to go abroad.”
"Oh, so our young master Shi is finally showing his true colors." Pei Zhi's face showed surprise, finding it unusual. "You've known about your dad sending you abroad since you first started high school, haven't you? Why do you suddenly not want to go now?"
Shi Chen's expression remained unchanged, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, "Is there any need to ask? Of course, he can't bear to part with our school heartthrob Pei."
"Go to hell." Pei Zhi glared at him with disgust.
When the topic of university came up, everyone started talking again. Shi Chen asked Pei Zhi, "Which school do you want to apply to? Maybe we'll even be in the same city by then."
It's impossible for them to go to the same school. Even if he doesn't sleep every day, he still can't catch up with Pei Zhi's grades.
While eating, Pei Zhi mumbled, "I'm fine with either, it depends on which one Pei Xi wants to go to."
"You'll have to follow Pei Xi to college?" Shi Chen chuckled, jokingly asking, "Do you really want Pei Xi to stay under your nose for the rest of his life? Does Pei Xi even want that?"
Pei Zhi paused, looked up from the bowl at Pei Xi.
Pei Xi caught his gaze, smiled, and said softly, "Of course I'm willing."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi's eyes instantly lit up with a smile. He raised an eyebrow at Shi Chen, his face full of pride.
That expression seemed to say, "Look, this is what it means to be important to Pei Xi."
Shi Chen glanced at him, too lazy to pay him any attention.
Pei Zhi studies hard simply because he has high standards for himself and is very self-disciplined. In reality, he doesn't care which university he goes to.
He felt they were all about the same.
Pei Xi suddenly looked at him and said, "However, if your score is high enough, you should definitely go to Peking University."
Peking University is the top university in the country. Every year, about ten students from No. 1 High School are admitted to Peking University. With Pei Zhi's score, getting into Peking University is definitely not a problem.
But Pei Zhi remained silent for a moment.
Pei Xi's grades have always been on the edge of the twentieth place in his grade, which is a bit far from Peking University.
He wanted to attend the same university as Pei Xi, but he didn't want to force Pei Xi to accommodate him.
His grades are good, so it would be easier for him to accommodate Pei Xi's grades.
Pei Zhi scoffed and said, "Is being in the top 10 necessarily good? You can't just look at rankings when choosing a university."
Shi Chen chuckled, "Then what should we look at?"
Pei Zhiyong looked at him with disdain for his ignorance and said loudly, "Look at the dormitories, the cafeteria, and the bathhouse!"
Pei Xi and Shen Miaoyi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Pei Xi knew that Pei Zhi was saying this on purpose; he didn't want to go to Peking University because her grades weren't good enough.
Shi Chen's gaze fell on Pei Zhi's face, and he said meaningfully, "But Jiang Cheng will definitely go to Peking University, right? If you don't go, it'll be so boring for the two of you to never see each other."
Pei Zhi was taken aback; he had almost forgotten about this.
He subconsciously looked at Pei Xi.
Pei Xi met his gaze.
The two stared at each other in silence, their eyes locked.
Then Pei Xi blinked, and his mind suddenly went blank.
Jiang Cheng... he probably doesn't share Pei Zhi's thoughts, right...?
