When Li Lei was in junior high school, his grades were just average, so Li Lei's parent-teacher meetings were usually attended by his father.

However, after high school, when Li Lei's grades gradually improved, the couple began to argue about Li Lei's place in the student union.

What Li's mother meant was, you were the one who attended all the parent-teacher conferences for Li Lei, so it's my turn this time. If I don't attend, I probably won't have any chance! My son will take the college entrance examination next year, and there will be no parent-teacher conferences when he goes to college!

What does Mr. Li mean?

Faced with what Li's mother said, Li's father was almost mad with anger.

Well, I did go to the parent-teacher conferences before, but why did I go?! Don’t you have any idea?! It was because Li Lei’s grades were not good at that time, and you didn’t want to go and get criticized by his teacher?! ! !

When my son's grades were not good in the past, I attended all his parent-teacher meetings, and I was the one who took the criticism. I came back very angry from Li Lei's class teachers, but you not only didn't comfort me, you even laughed at me!

My son’s grades have improved now. It’s not easy for him to show off his abilities in front of me, but you want to deprive me of this right? You, you are simply not a human being!!!

Faced with Li's father's accusation, Li's mother just thought he was talking nonsense and ruthlessly suppressed it.

"I'm telling you, Li Zuokai, I'm not discussing this with you. I'm informing you, do you understand?" Mother Li glared at Father Li, "It's settled. I'll go to the parents' meeting next Sunday! You just stay home and behave yourself!"

Father Li decisively backed down and obediently gave the opportunity to show off in front of so many parents to Mother Li.

Li Lei was naturally not aware of his parents' argument. Although he had many things on his mind, considering that he had four classes waiting for him in the afternoon, in order to ensure that he could be in a good spirit to listen to the classes well in the afternoon, Li Lei decisively threw away the random thoughts in his mind. After setting the alarm clock, Li Lei turned on the air conditioner, covered his head with the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.

Although he fell asleep, Li Lei did not sleep well during the whole afternoon because he was worried. When the alarm clock woke him up, he had only entered a light sleep and felt like he had not fallen asleep at all.

"ah!!!"

Li Lei felt very tired after this sleep. After stretching, he sat up from the bed with difficulty. After turning off the air conditioner, Li Lei quickly put on his clothes and walked towards the bathroom.

After washing his face, Li Lei felt a lot more awake.

The whole room was quiet, without a single sound. At this hour, his parents were still sleeping. Li Lei did not want to disturb their rest, so he tiptoed to the entrance with his schoolbag on his back, changed his shoes, then quietly closed the door and walked downstairs.

It has been quite hot in Ruxu these days. There has been no rain for more than half a month, making the whole Ruxu like a big furnace. Even the air is extremely hot, not to mention that it is the hottest time of the day. There are few pedestrians on the road. Everyone is hiding in the house to avoid the heat.

Li Lei pushed his mountain bike out of the community carport and rode quickly in the direction of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School. The strong and dazzling sun above his head shone directly on Li Lei's whole body. As a result, Li Lei, who had no sun protection measures on his body, soon got his face sunburned and began to sweat a lot.

By the time Li Lei rode to Ruxu No. 2 Middle School, he felt as if he had been fished out of the water.

Damn, I took a shower in vain. Looking at his T-shirt that was almost soaked, Li Lei cursed inwardly.

After pushing the car into the carport and locking it, Li Lei glanced at the time. When he found that it was still early for class, Li Lei thought about it and turned towards the cafeteria, intending to buy some ice water to cool down.

"Hey, Li Lei, you're taking a shower in the middle of the day?"

Li Lei, who had just walked out of the cafeteria with a bottle of iced mineral water and an ice cream in his mouth, met his deskmate Li Hua. When Li Hua saw Li Lei, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and joked, "Forget about taking a shower, but remember to wipe the water clean! Why are you still wet all over!"

"Fuck off, I'm so hot!" Li Lei took the ice cream out of his mouth and rolled his eyes at Li Hua. "Why don't you try riding four or five kilometers to school in such hot weather?! I guarantee you'll sweat more than me!"

"Boy, that's really sweaty!"

Hearing what Li Lei said, Li Hua, who was walking beside Li Lei, leaned in to smell it. Suddenly, a not-too-strong smell of sweat hit Li Hua's nose, causing Li Hua to take a small step away from Li Lei. "Why suffer this? You might as well do the same as me and buy an electric bike to ride! It's not that hard!"

"Forget it. My mother won't let me ride an electric scooter. She thinks it's a bit unsafe for me to ride it now and she's worried! I guess if I suggest buying an electric scooter, she would rather I take a taxi to school every day!" Li Lei thought about it and felt that what Li Hua said was impossible.

Li Hua curled his lips, "You are such a good kid who listens to your mother! Your mother told you not to fall in love, why didn't you listen?! You only listen selectively, right?"

Li Hua's shout immediately made Li Lei furious, "Who is in love? What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Oh, right, you're not in a relationship!" Li Hua glanced at Li Lei with disdain and sneered, "You and Han Meimei are just friendly classmates. There is no relationship between you that goes beyond being classmates."

After being ridiculed by Li Hua, Li Lei's face turned red and he was speechless.

Seeing that Li Lei was silent, Li Hua still chose not to let Li Lei go, and continued to mock, "Oh~~~ I get it, you know that Han Meimei likes the smell of you, so you deliberately ride several kilometers to school every day under the scorching sun, just to let the sunlight fully shine on your body, so that you can sweat all over and let Han Meimei smell your manly scent! What a scheming Li Lei, I always thought you were really a straight man, I didn't expect it!"

"Get out!" Li Lei has never been a match for Li Hua in bickering. After hesitating for a long time, he only uttered these two words.

Fortunately, seeing Li Lei's embarrassing situation, Li Hua did not beat him up anymore, but took the initiative to talk about other things. Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and the two walked towards the main teaching building while chatting.

"Hey, with your grades, where are you going to go in the future?" Li Hua looked at the silent Li Lei and asked, "With your grades, it's not a problem for you to get into USTC! You might as well go to USTC and then try your best to get into graduate school in the future!"

People in Anhui Province, especially science students in Anhui Province, always have an extraordinary affection for Huaxia University of Science and Technology. It seems that in their eyes, in the whole of China, apart from Beijing University and Shuimu University, Huaxia University of Science and Technology is the best.

Not only that, even in some unique scenarios, in their eyes, the status and strength of Huaxia University of Science and Technology are even higher than those of Jingcheng University and Shuimu University.

Li Hua's question really made Li Lei think for a while. After a long time, Li Lei gently shook his head and said, "Let's see when the time comes. If possible, I still want to give it a try and see if there is any chance of winning against Shuimu and Jingda!"

Li Hua's eyes widened at Li Lei's words. He replied in disbelief, "Fuck, brother, you are serious, right?! Such a small mock exam has made your confidence so high?!"

"Yes, I admit that you did really well in the exam this time, with a score of 673. Not only is you ranked second in our No. 2 Middle School, but you are also ranked 15th among all the senior high school students in Ruxu County!

"Li Hua reported Li Lei's results like a treasure, but then changed the subject and began to teach Li Lei, "But you have to know that there are 14 people in Ruxu County with higher scores than you! Not to mention that this is just Ruxu, which is a little bigger, there is also the whole Jiangcheng, how many places can you rank? ! How many places can you rank in the whole Anhui Province? ! "

"Let's not talk about anything else. Hope from our class scored 680 points, second in the county! He doesn't even dare to say that he can get into Shuimu or Jingda, how dare you?! Listen to me, be down-to-earth, don't think about those empty words, be good, be obedient! Just go to Huaxia University of Science and Technology! Getting into Huaxia University of Science and Technology will be enough to bring honor to your Li family!"

Li Lei was not angry at Li Hua's words. He did not yell at Li Hua, "Don't bully the young and poor" or anything like that. Li Lei just climbed the stairs and said to his deskmate with a smile, "I didn't say I had to go to Shuimu or Jingda. I just said I wanted to give it a try to see if I could get in!"

"Besides, what if, right? What if I get in?! You're right, my current grades in the county are not that good, not to mention in the whole Jiangcheng! However, although my current strength is not good, there is still more than half a year! As long as there is enough time, I can always beat those who are ahead of me! In this way, don't I have a chance?!"

What you said makes so much sense, I am speechless!

Li Lei's words made Li Hua speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say until they were almost at the door of the classroom. Li Hua sighed, patted Li Lei's shoulder and said, "Brother, you are awesome! Work hard. I won't be able to get into Mizuki or Kyoto University! If you get in, I can brag to others that my good brother is a top 2 student!"

As they were talking, the two entered the classroom and were noticed by Han Meimei who kept looking towards the door. Han Meimei immediately waved happily towards the door, trying to get Li Lei and Li Hua to notice her.

Seeing Han Meimei's actions, Li Hua beside Li Lei couldn't help but laugh out loud, and couldn't help but tease Li Lei beside him, "Brother, why don't you work hard and get the top score? That way, when Jingda and Shuimu come to recruit students, you can negotiate with them and ask them to bring Han Meimei with them!"

You're here again?!

Li Hua's teasing again made Li Lei curl his lips involuntarily. If he hadn't taken into consideration that there were already many classmates in the class who were studying and he couldn't make noise to disturb them, Li Lei would definitely kick Li Hua hard.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Let me tell you, this is just a joke between us, but don't make fun of me in front of Han Meimei!" Li Lei still attaches great importance to his image in front of Han Meimei, and for this reason he even whispered a "warning" to Li Hua.

Li Hua also lowered his voice and responded, "Don't worry, brother, I understand!"

As he spoke, Li Hua clenched his right fist, tapped his heart, and gave Li Lei an expression that said, "I'm very tight-lipped and I promise I won't say anything nonsense."

It's because of you that I'm worried! Li Lei complained in his heart.

As they were talking, the two came to their seats. Before Han Meimei could say anything, Li Lei took out the notebook worth hundreds of dollars from his schoolbag and returned it to Han Meimei. "Hold it well, don't drop it!"

"What are you doing?" Han Meimei was stunned when she saw Li Lei's actions. "Why are you giving it to me? I gave it to you! It's just a notebook, just take it!"

"Take it?! Do I dare to take it?!" Li Lei was almost laughing at Han Meimei's anger. "I didn't even take the pen last time, so how could I possibly take your notebook? Hurry up and take it. If your dad asks about it, we won't be able to explain it to him!"

"Oh, you're worried about that!" Han Meimei finally understood why Li Lei returned the notebook to her as if it were a hot potato, so Han Meimei smiled and whispered to Li Lei, "Hey, Li Lei, don't worry! I did so well in the exam this time, my dad is so happy!"

The results of the mock exam made Han Meimei's parents ecstatic. "I told my dad that I did so well in the exam because you tutored me every day! Not to mention a notebook, my dad wouldn't mind giving you another 200 yuan!"

Li Hua was watching the fun with a smile on his face, but the more he talked about this topic, the more he felt something was wrong. After Han Meimei finished speaking, Li Hua quickly looked at Li Lei and asked, "What's going on with you two?! Are you meeting the parents already?! Not only did you meet them, but your father-in-law also agreed?!"

"Fuck, Li Lei, you really deserve to die! It's fine that you improved your grades behind your brother's back, but now you've even arranged your lifelong event behind his back?! Are you still a human being? Why do all the good things happen to you?! Is there any justice in the world?!"

"Get lost, what are you talking about! Don't talk nonsense to me, it's not true!" Li Hua beat his chest and stamped his feet, making Li Lei and Han Meimei blush. Li Lei saw this and quickly scolded this unreasonable deskmate, "That's not it. I was just tutoring Han Meimei. There's nothing else to do. It's really nothing else to do!"

Seeing Li Lei stuttering, Li Hua stopped beating his chest and stamping his feet. His face was full of laughter again. He joked, "Oh, that's what happened! Li Lei, you are really responsible~ You finally helped your classmates! But why didn't I see you tutoring me with my homework, good brother, I want you to tutor me too~~"
