Chapter 9 The Hidden Academic Star
Yan Liang was surprised to find that Lu Yanhe was serious when he said he was going to prepare for the college entrance examination.
For three consecutive days, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Lu Yanhe got up early every day without fail to take the bus to school.
I don't know why, but the company stopped arranging transportation for him.
Lu Yanhe hadn't expected that he would so quickly readjust to the pace of senior year.
He genuinely believed that after arriving in this parallel world, he would start his career as a nobody in the entertainment industry.
Who knew it would start with a poor student striving for success?
Lu Yanhe's transformation not only shocked Yan Liang and Li Zhibai, but also the teachers and students of No. 13 Middle School.
On the school forum, someone asked in an exaggerated way: What's wrong with Lu Yanhe? Why is he suddenly coming to school so diligently?
Because Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang both attend No. 13 Middle School, there are quite a few people in the school who pay attention to the Fengzhi duo.
Immediately, someone said: "The Fengzhi duo is about to disband. Is Lu Yanhe realizing that he won't be able to get any work soon, so he's decided to switch tracks and take the college entrance exam?"
Lu Yanhe did not pay attention to the school forum and was unaware of the discussions about him.
For the next three days, he devoted himself entirely to his studies. He researched the scope of the exam, tested himself with previous mock exams, and identified and filled in any gaps in his knowledge. In every class, Lu Yanhe listened attentively. Of course, he didn't do his homework—this was a "privilege" of his celebrity status; no teacher would bother whether a student who was rarely in school had completed his assignments on time.
He doesn't do his homework because it's too inefficient for him at this stage.
There's a monthly exam this Saturday, and Lu Yanhe plans to take it seriously to see how well he can perform.
Since the goal is Yuming and Zhenhua, then I need to be in the top three of my grade to have the qualifications to try for these two universities.
On Thursday afternoon, after school, Lu Yanhe went to the school's express delivery point to pick up the books that Yan Liang had ordered online.
Despite his grumbling, Yan Liang still placed an order for the books Lu Yanhe had sent him.
As a result, the dozen or so books, packed in several parcels, were stacked in Lu Yanhe's hands, teetering on the verge of collapse.
His classmates Chen Qin and Lin Yu suddenly appeared and took some of it from his hands.
Lin Yu asked curiously, "Lu Yanhe, what did you buy? Why are there so many?"
"Books," Lu Yanhe said, looking at the young couple who had been dating since their second year of high school, and then said "thank you."
Chen Qin turned his head away impatiently.
Linyu smiled gently and said, "You're welcome."
Why have you been coming to school these past few days?
Before Lu Yanhe could answer, Chen Qin said with a disdainful look, "What else could it be? Their group is disbanding, and he has no other work."
Lin Yu frowned and called out "Chen Qin" in a stern voice, clearly feeling that her boyfriend had gone too far by saying such things in front of others.
Lu Yanhe curled up the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "He's right."
Lin Yu opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Chen Qin looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise, as if he hadn't expected Lu Yanhe to admit it.
Lu Yanhe said, "Besides not having any other jobs afterward, I also wanted to see how well I could do if I studied seriously."
He said these words in the gentlest and most polite tone, but inwardly he was sneering: Just wait until my ability to get into a 985 university slaps you in the face!
Chen Qin scoffed, "You don't actually think you can get into the top twenty in the class by just studying hard for a few days, do you? Do you think you're a genius?"
Lu Yanhe chuckled inwardly.
I'm not a genius, but I'm a time traveler who cheated.
He didn't reply.
Lin Yu glared helplessly at her boyfriend, trying to smooth things over: "Lu Yanhe, good luck!"
To be fair, both Lin Yu and Chen Qin are top students with excellent grades in school and are considered promising candidates by the school.
In a school like No. 13 Middle School, which isn't particularly good, basically only the top ten students in each grade can compete for C9-level universities.
Lin Yu consistently ranked in the top ten of her grade, while Chen Qin's ranking fluctuated, occasionally dropping to the twentieth or thirties.
Of course, no matter what, he is much better than Lu Yanhe, who is ranked over 500th in his grade.
Chen Qin's words reminded Lu Yanhe that he couldn't improve too significantly in this monthly exam.
If it's too obvious, it will look like cheating.
Back in the classroom, Lu Yanhe opened the package and took out the books, all of which were general knowledge books related to history and geography.
Since the scope of the college entrance examination questions frequently exceeds the syllabus, he can only broaden his reading scope. He can no longer sit in the college entrance examination room scratching his head and guessing by "choosing the shortest of three long and the longest of three short and the longest of three".
His classmates looked at him in shock when they saw the tall stack of books on his desk.
Someone even secretly took photos and posted them on the school forum, saying: I think Lu Yanhe has been possessed, he actually bought so many books for himself!

That evening, Zhou Ping'an and Yan Liang finished their dance practice in the practice room of Xingyu Entertainment Agency and went inside.
When Yan Liang saw his manager come in, he quickly stood up and called out, "Brother Ping An."
Zhou Pingan patted Yan Liang with a smile. Yan Liang was the most worry-free kid in the Fengzhi group. He was hardworking, ambitious, had few problems, and was obedient.
"Are you all ready to record 'Hello, Life' tomorrow?"
"Yes, I've been practicing the dance for a week now, and the teacher says I'm doing very well."
"That's good," Zhou Pingan said. "I replaced you with Li Zhibai for the 'Supernova Games' program. You're not unhappy about that, are you?"
Yan Liang hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll listen to Brother Ping An."
“This time, the Supernova Games invited professional young athletes to participate in each event, so you basically have no hope of winning the championship. This does not fit the company’s positioning of you as an athletic talent. Considering this, I temporarily replaced you with Li Zhibai. Anyway, all the fans know that he is lazy and slacking off. No one will be surprised if he does nothing at the Games. But if you go and don’t win the championship, people will question you.”
Zhou Pingan briefly explained the reasons for this arrangement.
Yan Liang's inner turmoil finally subsided; so that's how it was.
He smiled with relief.
"So that's how it is."
"Although 'Hello, Life!' is a slow-paced variety show, it still has a large audience. You need to perform well," Zhou Ping'an advised. "Don't be too noisy, and don't just bury your head in your work all the time. Remember to find shots for yourself, find some moments to shine. If you're unsure, it's better to give up than to make a mistake, understand?"
"good."
"By the way, I haven't seen Lu Yanhe these past few days. Do you know what he's been up to?" Zhou Ping'an asked Yan Liang seemingly casually.
