There are many people who are walking on the same path as Gong Jinkang and Peng Bolin. Their situations are both similar and different from those of Gong Jinkang and Peng Bolin.

What they had in common was that these students, like Gong Jinkang and Peng Bolin, were all holding a large pile of books, and their destination was a new class that seemed unknown to them, Senior Grade 3 (27).

The difference between them is that they do not have the seriousness on Peng Bolin's face or the ease on Gong Jinkang's face. Instead, they only have confusion, unknown and incomprehension on their faces.

Among them, there was Hu Huanhuan, who had just been transferred from a key class to Zhou Yu's class, and Zhang Li, who had just come to No. 2 Middle School for repeating a grade and was thrown into Zhou Yu's Class 27 by Gu Gaochi.

Zhang Li's face did not have the confusion and loss that Hu Huanhuan had. Instead, her face was filled with more confusion, and a hint of determination beneath the surface confusion.

Compared to Hu Huanhuan, who has lived and studied in Ruxu No. 2 Middle School for more than two years, Zhang Li has only been in the middle school for less than a month.

Ever since she failed the college entrance examination last time, her extremely disappointed mother originally wanted her to stop studying and just pack up her bags and go to Shanghai to work. This way she could earn three more years of salary than those college students who still work after graduating from three years of college.

This is what Zhang's mother told Zhang Li, and in the end, even Zhang Li herself was ready to accept such a fate.

However, on the day of filling out the application form, Zhang Li's father suddenly called back.

"Do you want to go to college, or do you want to repeat a year? As long as you want, Dad will support you."

"Don't worry about the money. Dad will just do more work outside. Just don't regret the decision you made today in the future."

Just these one sentence made Zhang Li, who was already on the verge of collapse, burst into tears.

Zhang Li was sobbing on the phone and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

After a long while, Zhang Li finally reacted. She touched the corner of her eye with the back of her hand and said with a sob, "Dad, I want to study for another year. If I still can't pass the exam, I will go to work with you."

So, Zhang Li finally came to Ruxu No. 2 Middle School and began her journey of repeating a grade.

Originally, Zhang Li came to Ruxu No. 2 Middle School with the determination to succeed or die, but unexpectedly, after arriving at the middle school, Zhang Li still felt a little caught off guard.

First of all, Zhang Li felt a little uncomfortable at Ruxu No. 2 Middle School.

The teaching pace of the teachers at No. 2 Middle School was obviously faster than that of the Xiangshan Middle School where she originally studied, which made Zhang Li, whose foundation was not very strong to begin with, feel a little strained.

Secondly, as a repeater, Zhang Li was not very popular among the teachers at No. 2 Middle School.

There are two reasons why she is not popular. First, Zhang Li's grades are not very good, not even a third-place finisher.

The second is Zhang Li’s identity as a repeater.

Therefore, after arriving at No. 2 Middle School, Zhang Li no longer had the same determination as when she first came here, and for a while she began to feel a little confused.

However, she has not given up until now, because Zhang Li feels that she cannot let her father down.

A group of people came to the main teaching building in twos and threes, and entered the only classroom with lights on.

A sign reading Senior Grade 3 (27) has been hung on the front door of the classroom. Inside the classroom, all teaching supplies and hygiene products have been prepared and placed in a corner.

After 50 students entered the classroom one after another, they silently chose their seats and began to clean the dust on the tables and chairs.

After a messy cleanup, the students placed the books they brought on the desks and sat back in their seats.

Originally, when arriving in a completely new environment for the first time, according to the nature of young people, everyone should have excitedly greeted and chatted with acquaintances to make the atmosphere more lively.

However, right now, the atmosphere in this Senior 3 (27) class is strangely quiet.

These students just silently organized the books they brought, and then quietly opened the exercises they were doing or the books they were reading in their original class not long ago and started studying again.

Although it seems that these students are studying hard, judging from their unconscious writing and unfocused eyes when reading, their minds are not on the textbooks at the moment.

However, even if some students accidentally discovered this situation, they all tacitly remained silent, immediately lowered their heads, and continued to pretend that they were still studying hard.

The eerie silence didn't last long.

Soon, a bell rang outside the window, heralding the start of evening self-study.

Not long after, the arrival of a person completely broke the awkward atmosphere.

...

...

Zhou Yu went to bed a little early last night. The reason was naturally that Zhou Yu drank a lot of wine while having dinner and chatting with a group of leaders and colleagues from Ruxu No. 2 Middle School.

Compared with Wuzhou Middle School, where he was doing his internship, Zhou Yu undoubtedly felt more comfortable at Ruxu No. 2 Middle School.

Not to mention the two presidents, Wang Hongwen and Li Jianping, with whom he had always had a good impression, even Director Feng Zhiqiang, whom he had never met before, was quite respectful towards Zhou Yu.

As he spoke, he was praising Zhou Yu even more.

Words of praise like "a rare excellent teacher" and "the conscience of the industry" came out of his mouth easily, which made Zhou Yu's face, which was already a little red due to drinking, even redder, making Zhou Yu feel a little embarrassed.

Zhou Yu originally thought that Feng Zhiqiang was so friendly to him only because Wang Hongwen and Li Jianping valued him, so he just regarded Feng Zhiqiang's words as a polite remark at the drinking party and did not take it to heart.

Who would have thought that the next day, after Zhou Yu officially reported to the office, Feng Zhiqiang took some time to come to Zhou Yu and chat about random things.

At first, Zhou Yu just thought that Feng Zhiqiang was worried that he had just arrived at the school and was not used to it, so he came to chat with him. This made Zhou Yu a little touched.

However, before Feng Zhiqiang left, he whispered to Zhou Yu, "Teacher Zhou, among the students assigned to your class this time, there is a student named Gong Jinkang, who is my nephew."

"This child usually works very hard, but unfortunately, his comprehension is a little lacking. He has never met a famous teacher, and his grades have never improved! This time, it's all good. With Teacher Zhou to guide him, I feel relieved!"

"I usually have a lot of things to do at school, so I don't ask him much! So, this child still hopes that you, Teacher Zhou, can take care of him and take care of him!"

After hearing what Feng Zhiqiang said, Zhou Yu finally realized why Feng Zhiqiang had been so friendly, even flattering, towards him before.

But Zhou Yu was not angry. After all, they went to great lengths to send their nephew here to you. In a sense, doesn't it also represent their trust in your teaching level and ability?

Therefore, Zhou Yu did not hesitate to make a promise and assured Feng Zhiqiang that as long as Gong Jinkang studied hard in class, Zhou Yu would teach and guide him well.

After getting Zhou Yu's assurance, Feng Zhiqiang left Zhou Yu's office with a satisfied smile on his face.
