Test Class 1
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, No. 1 Middle School starts school.
The new year and the new semester are both a brand new beginning for Jiang Zhizhi and Cheng Yuping.
"Mom, remember to go to the driving school to register today." Before going out, Jiang Zhizhi specifically reminded Cheng Yuping.
Since the matter of taking the driver's license test had been mentioned before, Jiang Zhizhi put it on her schedule.
No matter what happens in the future, it is a good thing for Cheng Yuping to get a driver's license, and she will have more choices in the future.
"I know. You've said it more than a dozen times since this morning." Since when, Jiang Zhizhi seemed more like a parent in front of her.
Before she knew it, she was pushed by Jiang Zhizhi and came to where she is now.
Of course, she also likes her current situation, but sometimes she feels confused and doesn't know whether what she is doing is right or wrong.

Jiang Zhizhi came out of the community with her schoolbag on her back and got on the bus to school at the entrance of the community.
During the holiday, she went to the bus terminal to apply for a bus card. Now it only costs 50 cents for a ride, which is very cost-effective.
She got up early and there were not many people on the bus. She found an empty seat and took out a book from her bag to read.
Just as she was watching intently, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Zhizhi opened the phone and saw that it was a call from Lu Xiye.
"Hello?"
"Why didn't you wait for me?" he asked unhappily.
"Why should I wait for you?"
"Didn't I send you a message yesterday? I can give you a ride to school."
“Electric cars are cold.”
“…”
Jiang Zhizhi hung up the phone, and just then, the bus arrived at the station.
The bus stop was just a few dozen meters away from the school gate. As soon as she got off the bus, she saw a crowded crowd at the school gate not far away.
She didn't want to squeeze with so many people, and the classroom would be messy on the first day of school. After entering the school gate, she went to the playground nearby and found a secluded lawn to sit down and read.
"Jiang Zhizhi."
Suddenly, a boy's voice came from behind her.
Jiang Zhizhi turned around and saw Lin Jing.
Lin Jing walked up to Jiang Zhizhi and stammered, "I'm sorry..."
"Why are you saying sorry to me?" Jiang Zhizhi didn't understand.
"Exactly. On New Year's Day, at Changyin Lake... Sorry, that balloon-fighting competition was a draw because of me. You and Xu Jiaojiao are friends, so you wanted to win, right?"
After the game that day, Jiang Zhizhi's sad eyes lingered in his mind almost every day.
The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. At this moment, he mustered up the courage to walk up to Jiang Zhizhi.
"Winning or losing isn't important at all. If you think about it carefully, a draw is a much better outcome. You settled a dispute and saved us all some trouble. We should be thanking you."
If it weren't for Lin Jing's suggestion, Zhou Qi and Wang Xing would most likely have started fighting, and the situation would have gotten out of control, with both sides potentially ending up in jail.
"Really?" Lin Jing carefully looked into Jiang Zhizhi's eyes, as if wanting to verify whether what she said was true. "But that day, you seemed very sad."
Jiang Zhizhi lowered her eyes, silently closed the book in her hand, sighed, and then looked at Lin Jing again, "I'm not sad because of that game."
Lin Jing pondered for a moment, then sat down next to Jiang Zhizhi, his face slightly flushed. "I kind of understand what you mean."
Knowing that Jiang Zhizhi wasn't sad because of him, he felt relieved. He turned his head to look at the book in Jiang Zhizhi's hand and asked, "What are you reading? GONE WITH THE WIND? Wandering with the wind?"
"It's 'Gone with the Wind', written by Margaret Mitchell. It's a very interesting book, very good to read." Jiang Zhizhi likes the lively heroine in the book very much.
Lin Jing looked at Jiang Zhizhi with a look of admiration and yearning in his eyes. "Every time I see you, you seem to be reading. You are really amazing. Not only are you good at studying, but you are also so knowledgeable."
"You are also very good. When you shot the balloons that day, you almost hit the target every time." Jiang Zhizhi praised him.
Being praised by Jiang Zhizhi, Lin Jing blushed even more, "Because, my grandfather used to be a soldier. Although he has retired now, he often takes me to play shooting clay with his old comrades."
It was just after the beginning of spring and the weather was still very cold, but when chatting with Jiang Zhizhi, Lin Jing didn't feel cold at all. Instead, he felt warm and tingling all over.
He felt light and airy, as if in a dream.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi listening to him attentively, his heart started pounding.
"Zhizhi!"
Suddenly, Li Rongrong's voice came from a distance. She was wearing a loose blue school uniform and carrying a small bunny backpack. She trotted over. "Haha, look how well I know you. I knew you were hiding here! Hey, you're not that..."
"I'm Lin Jing from Class 10. We met at Changyin Lake that day."
"Oh yes, you are in the same class as Lu Xiye, I remember you. Your shooting skills were so accurate that day, it was amazing." Li Rongrong exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Jing scratched his head embarrassedly, "I just performed better that day..."
"Oh, it's almost eight o'clock. Let's go back to the classroom. Will the seats in the new semester still be the same as last semester? I really want to rearrange the seats quickly." Li Rongrong pulled Jiang Zhizhi up and muttered somewhat complainingly.
Ever since Jiang Zhizhi and Yao Jiaqi became deskmates, she has been thinking about rearranging their seats every day.
Lin Jing watched Jiang Zhizhi and Li Rongrong leave together, then quietly stood up and walked towards the teaching building.
Just as I left the playground, I saw Lu Xiye riding in on that flashy electric motorcycle and turning into the school parking lot.
Lin Jing thought about it and decided to go over and say hello to Lu Xiye.
Lu Xiye also saw Lin Jing. He parked the car quickly and carried his schoolbag loosely on his back. "Lin Jing, you're here at the right time. I want to ask you something."
"What's going on?"
"What's our grade ranking to get into Class 1?" Lu Xiye asked pretending to be indifferent.
"The class should have been decided at the beginning and can't be changed at will, right?" Lin Jing didn't understand what Lu Xiye meant.
"Then let me ask you, what is the last student in class one's ranking?"
"I haven't noticed, but he should be at least in the top 80 in the grade, right?" Lin Jing asked curiously, "Lu Xiye, why are you asking this? Do you want to get into Class 1?"
"I...how could I..." Lu Xiye subconsciously wanted to refute, but suddenly reacted, rolled his eyes at Lin Jing, and said unhappily: "Why? Can't I get into Class 1?"
"No... no." Lin Jing felt a little strange. When the first semester of the first grade started, Lu Xiye was still in a bad mood. How come he was suddenly so motivated now and even wanted to get into Class 1!
Isn’t Class 1 the class that Jiang Zhizhi is in?
His grades were much better than Lu Xiye's. If Lu Xiye could get into Class 1, there was no reason why he couldn't do it.
After getting into Class 1, maybe... maybe I can even sit at the same table with Jiang Zhizhi!
Lin Jing's face suddenly turned red and he felt nervous.
"Lu Xiye, if you take the exam for Class 1, I'll accompany you."
"Why are you taking the first class exam?"
"Isn't Jiang Zhizhi in Class 1? If I get into Class 1, I'll be in the same class with her... Ouch..."
Before Lin Jing could finish his words, Lu Xiye kicked him hard.
"You're taking a shit!"

"Jiang Zhizhi, have you signed up for the math league too?"
As soon as they arrived at their seats, Yao Jiaqi stopped Jiang Zhizhi and questioned her. She looked as if Jiang Zhizhi had not signed up for the same competition as her, but owed her eight hundred yuan.
"Well, I heard that you have signed up too?" Jiang Zhizhi smiled faintly, silently walked around her and went to her seat inside.
"I will definitely beat you this time." Yao Jiaqi said with a provocative look and firm teeth.
Jiang Zhizhi said, "Whether it's you, me, Xu Qingbo, or Lin Qingyu, as long as we can get into the top ten and get the league certificate, it will be an honor for our school."
Li Rongrong felt unhappy when she saw Yao Jiaqi's expression. She put her schoolbag on the table and said, "Class monitor, shouldn't you go to the Academic Affairs Office to get your books?"
Yao Jiaqi rolled her eyes at her, stood up, called a few boys, and went to the Academic Affairs Office to get books.
As soon as Yao Jiaqi left, Xu Qingbo entered the classroom. When passing by Lin Qingyu's seat, he deliberately asked Lin Qingyu to come over to where he and Jiang Zhizhi were sitting.
"After we get the books, we don't need to stay here for the class meeting. The math teacher asked all the students who signed up for the math league to gather in the laboratory building. In addition to the three of us, there's also Yao Jiaqi in our class, so the four of us will go together."
Li Rongrong curled her lips. "It's not just you four in our class, it's you four in our entire first grade. You're such freaks! How can you participate in the math league in your first year? That tests all of your math knowledge from middle school."
But even though she said this, she felt a little sour in her heart.
She is a good friend of Jiang Zhizhi, Xu Qingbo and Lin Qingyu, but now the three of them are participating in the league together, and she is the only one who is not participating.
At that time, Lin Qingyu even called her to ask her about it, but she felt that she was not good at math and it was impossible for her to get a good grade on the test, so she did not participate. Now she regrets it so much.
I should have joined in the fun earlier.
After Yao Jiaqi brought the boys in the class back to get the books, Xu Qingbo repeated what he had just said to her.
After distributing the books, the four of them asked their homeroom teacher for leave and, led by Xu Qingbo, went to the laboratory building. They were still in the first year of junior high, and had not yet started formal physics and chemistry courses, nor had they ever been to the laboratory building.
The laboratory building was filled with the smell of disinfectant and was damp.
At this moment, in addition to the four of them, there were more than a dozen senior students.
"Hello, Qingyu, this way."
A tall girl saw them, greeted Lin Qingyu and let them come over.
Lin Qingyu is the study committee member of Class 1, responsible for the League affairs, and often works with the study committee members of the senior grades of the school. That tall girl is Gao Lu, the study committee member of the key class 1 in the third grade of junior high school.
Gao Lu is not only a study committee member, but also the former student union president of No. 1 Middle School. Her academic performance has always been among the top ten in the grade. She is both organized and proactive, and is very prestigious among the third-year junior high school students.
Although Jiang Zhizhi, Xu Qingbo and Yao Jiaqi had never seen Gao Lu, they had all heard of her.
"Wow, you are Jiang Zhizhi, right?"
Jiang Zhizhi's photo had been posted on the school forum, and Gao Lu recognized her immediately.
"Hello, senior sister." Jiang Zhizhi said politely.
Gao Lu looked at them. "Qingyu told me about you guys. You're the top three in Class 1, Grade 7. You're really ignorant and fearless. You dare to sign up for the math league in Grade 1?"
At the beginning, she was just like Jiang Zhizhi and the others, a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, and she thought she was very powerful.
However, in my first year participating in the math league, I didn’t even make it into the top 50 in the city, which was a huge blow.
Now looking at the four people in front of her, she felt like she was seeing her former self.
But for young people, the most important thing is to have the courage to face challenges, which is a good thing.
