When the homeroom teacher instructed the students to hand out their report cards, Lin Ruanruan had already returned to her usual self, and she happily took a picture of her report card.
She sent the photo directly to her family group chat, which only included Lin Ruanruan, her parents, and her grandparents.
She then sent it to Huo Qi, who quickly replied.
Huo Qi sent Lin Ruanruan a thumbs-up emoji.
"Wow, Aruan is amazing! You've improved so quickly, even better than your score on the last quiz."
Lin Ruanruan couldn't help but laugh as she replied.
'Maybe it's because I prayed after the exam.'
Huo Qi laughed.
'Our Aruan relies on her own hard-earned strength.'
The two then chatted about other things, with Lin Ruanruan smiling happily while holding her phone.
Fang Lan was about to invite Lin Ruanruan to play games when she turned around and saw the other girl smiling radiantly. "Ruan-jie, are you texting your boyfriend?"
Lin Ruanruan was so startled that she almost threw her phone out the window. After barely managing to grab it, she looked at Fang Lan with a flushed face and a hint of anger, "I told you I'm not going to have a relationship early."
Fang Lan nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, so that's my future boyfriend?"
Fang Lan smiled as he looked at Lin Ruanruan, whose face was flushed. He felt he had already guessed who Lin Ruanruan was messaging.
Lin Ruanruan glared at Fang Lan, "Don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, she went to reply to the praise from her grandparents in the family group chat.
Lin Ruanruan read the voice messages sent directly by the two elderly people.
It turned out that Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin had said they had slaughtered a pig for Lin Ruanruan, and were waiting for her to come back and eat it.
Lin Ruanruan quickly replied to her parents that her flight this afternoon would arrive in the evening.
After reading it, Grandma Lin told Lin Ruanruan to be extra careful on the road.
Fang Lan looked at Lin Ruanruan pitifully, "Sister Ruan, aren't you going to play games with me?"
Lin Ruanruan looked up and said, "Won't the teachers go back after they assign the homework? There's not much time."
Fang Lan leaned back in her chair, looking dejected. "It's a bit boring..."
As they were talking, Fang Lan noticed a boy standing outside their classroom. The boy looked somewhat familiar.
"Li Zihao? What's he doing at our doorstep?"
He waved to Li Zihao, signaling him to come in.
Li Zihao hesitated for a moment but still went in. The other students in the back row looked at this top student from the honors class with curiosity.
Lin Ruanruan also turned to look. She knew Li Zihao; it was from him that the rumors about Fang Lan and Xu Chaosheng had spread, but she couldn't blame him. Fang Lan had also said at the time that it was Xu Chaosheng's fault.
Li Zihao also appears in the original text. He is Huo Xian's deskmate and is often called out by the homeroom teacher.
Li Zihao stood beside their four-person table and asked, "Excuse me, may I join your study group?"
Lin Ruanruan's eyes widened in surprise. What was going on?
Fang Lan blinked. "Why do you suddenly want to join our study group?"
"Besides, you students in the honors class all have extra classes at school during the holidays, right? The times can't all be combined."
Li Zihao glanced at Fang Lan expressionlessly. He still couldn't understand how Fang Lan was so amazing.
"I don't think my class was an honors class; yours is."
"I want to transfer to another class."
The round-faced girl watched the commotion from the sidelines and even moved a chair for Li Zihao.
Li Zihao blushed and thanked him.
Huo Xian looked at Li Zihao's eyes and asked, "You...were you crying just now?"
Fang Lan also noticed Li Zihao's red eyes, and he frowned and asked, "Did someone bully you?"
Li Zihao sighed, "It's nothing, I just got scolded by the homeroom teacher. The pressure in the top class is too much, it's suffocating me."
His family wasn't as well-off as his classmates, so his homeroom teacher was very unkind to him. Things were better when he was second in his class.
He dropped to fourth place after today's results came out, and his homeroom teacher called him into the office and gave him a long talk.
He also took a jab at the homeroom teacher of Class 13, saying that Old Bi Deng of Class 13 was just lucky.
Lin Ruanruan handed Li Zihao a piece of candy; the man looked really pitiful.
Li Zihao blushed as he accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you."
"So you want to transfer classes?" Fang Lan asked, leaning on her chair and looking at Li Zihao.
Li Zihao nodded, though he was actually quite nervous, as this was the first time he had such a 'rebellious' idea.
Fang Lan patted Li Zihao on the shoulder, "I welcome you. I've been wanting to say for a long time that the elite class model is no good. They have to attend extra classes every day, and there's no time to rest at all. It's making people stupid."
The girl with the round face chimed in, "Hey, classmate, come join our Class 13! Our class has a great atmosphere."
The little round-faced girl squinted her eyes, thinking to herself that, especially from her position, she could see handsome men and beautiful women every day, which was incredibly comfortable.
Huo Xian didn't mind. "If you transfer to our class, you can just join our study group."
She has always admired people who study hard.
Li Zihao's eyes lit up, "I'll switch, I'll switch as soon as school starts!"
He went back and asked his dad if he could transfer to the class of the national physics competition champions. His dad would definitely agree!
Lin Ruanruan and Xuanyuan Haocheng exchanged a glance. Why did they feel that this person would divert some of Xianxian's attention?
When the teacher came to assign homework, Li Zihao had already returned to his own class. He made a decision in his heart: he would not attend the tutoring class for the advanced class this winter vacation; he would transfer to another class!
He's doing so poorly in the honors class.
...
At the airport,
Huo Xian held Lin Ruanruan's hand with a look of reluctance, and Lin Ruanruan gave Huo Xian a big hug, "It's not like I'm not coming back, I'm just going back to spend the New Year with my grandparents and then I'll be back."
