"call……"
Xia Che yawned, straightened up, and rubbed his still sleepy eyes.
"Are you done with the exam?"
Xia Che tilted his head, looking bewildered for a moment.
"If you don't care about the class placement test at all, why did you even come all this way? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sleep at home?"
Mu Yingying handed in the paper and wiped the glistening sweat from her forehead.
She wasn't as carefree as Xia Che; she barely finished the test paper a few minutes before the bell rang.
This time the questions were really difficult.
Even Mu Yingying, who had always had good grades, found it difficult.
She was initially confident that she would get a good score, but after handing in her paper, she became somewhat depressed.
Because the questions were too difficult, she glanced at the candidates around her and found that they all looked worried. Some of them, who were not so mentally strong, looked like they were about to cry.
"You guys are too slow at doing the questions. I finished this test paper and only half the time had passed. Why aren't you sleeping?"
Xia Che stretched comfortably. If it weren't for the teacher not allowing students to hand in their papers early, Xia Che would have already made a pleasant exit.
besides……
Were the questions difficult this time?
Xia Che also noticed the worried looks on the other people's faces, touched his nose, and looked somewhat suspicious.
How come he didn't notice?
This level of difficulty...
well enough?
It's not too difficult.
"Sigh... It's useless for you to fill the test paper. The answers have to be correct. The test score is judged by whether the answers are correct, not by how fast you can answer the questions."
Mu Yingying shook her head.
She originally thought Xia Che was really something.
As a result, this kid fell asleep right after only half the time had passed.
The questions were so difficult this time that Mu Yingying thought Xia Che must have just written them down randomly.
It seems this guy is definitely going to stay in Class 7.
It's just a pity for her best friend. She likes Xia Che so much and wants to be in the same class as him, but Xia Che himself is so disappointing.
Thinking of this, Mu Yingying shook her head again.
But there's not much we can do.
There's no way to achieve good grades quickly.
Given Xia Che's poor foundation, it will take a long time to improve his grades.
With less than a year until the college entrance examination, Mu Yingying doesn't think Xia Che can improve his grades in such a short time.
I am afraid……
When Shen Yanxin graduates and goes to university, Xia Che will have to stay in Jiang City alone and do some manual labor, right?
For example, delivering food, working in factories, etc...
The futures of the two people will gradually become parallel lines that never intersect.
By then, how much of Shen Yanxin's affection for Xia Che will remain?
"I think you should improve your grades as soon as possible."
Mu Yingying's thinking was very realistic; she was still happy to see her best friend get what she wanted.
But Xia Che needs to prove himself.
"Huh? Me?"
Xia Che stretched halfway, blinked, and gave a strange look.
Do I need to improve my grades further?
But I've already mastered all the knowledge from high school, so how can he possibly teach me anything?
Should I go and learn the knowledge required for university?
Can……
It seems like all you have to learn in college is what to order takeout, what to eat in the cafeteria, and what to eat on weekends.
What is there to learn?
Learning from Meituan's inflated coupons or the money-saving strategies of group-buying meals would be more appropriate.
"Hmm, I think it's time for you to start planning for your future. You're not thinking of just going to work after graduating from high school, are you?"
Mu Yingying's expression was very serious.
It's currently break time; the second exam will begin in ten minutes.
Mu Yingying had bought water in advance and had no intention of going to the toilet, so she didn't move.
She felt that this break time was perfect for persuading Xia Che.
"I……"
Before Xia Che could speak, Mu Yingying interrupted him: "It's impossible to work right after graduating from high school. That's too unreliable. You don't want the person you like to go to university while you stay in Jiang City doing manual labor, right? You'll drift apart. Is that really the kind of future you want?"
Shen Yanxin is too outstanding.
So outstanding that even Mu Yingying, who was also a woman, felt her eyes hurt from the dazzling light emanating from Shen Yanxin when she stood next to her.
She is beautiful, comes from a good family, and consistently ranks at the top of her class academically.
It seems that every word in the world used to describe excellence can be applied to Shen Yanxin.
How could Xia Che possibly be worthy of someone like that if he didn't work hard?
Mu Yingying's opinion of Xia Che has indeed changed, but this is only a change in his personality. Xia Che still has to work hard. The most painful thing in the world is that the person you like also likes you, but because the gap between you is too big, you can only watch helplessly as the two of you drift further and further apart.
Mu Yingying didn't want to see her best friend suffer so much someday in the future.
She supports the two of them being together.
But when it comes to relationships, if there's a possibility of being together, shouldn't we plan for our future together?
"This kind of future... really has nothing to do with me, right?"
Xia Che was stunned by the barrage of questions.
Then it occurred to me that Mu Yingying really didn't know her true identity...
No wonder.
In Mu Yingying's eyes, he was just an ignorant and good-for-nothing hoodlum, so her words were not malicious and she was just giving him advice.
"Why is it okay? We're all just ordinary people, not rich kids. Studying hard will definitely lead to many opportunities. Xia Che, you need to understand this better than I do."
Mu Yingying frowned slightly.
Xia Che's guess was correct.
She truly didn't know that Xia Che was the eldest son of the Xia family.
In Mu Yingying's eyes, Xia Che was just an ordinary family member who was a troublemaker who didn't study hard.
As for the housewarming party she saw at the second-generation elites' circle, Mu Yingying inquired about it afterward and learned that Xia Che had come at Shi Qingning's invitation.
The two have known each other since they were children.
Therefore, in Mu Yingying's view, Xia Che only benefited from Shi Qingning's fame.
This has always been Mu Yingying's impression.
Although things have improved somewhat now, that's precisely why Mu Yingying wants Xia Che to become even more outstanding.
Don't become like her.
Having a lover who is many times better than yourself is both a reward and a punishment.
It will be very tiring.
"Okay, you're right, those are indeed facts."
Xia Che shrugged. He could tell that Mu Yingying meant no harm.
Therefore, explaining to her that you don't actually need a degree to live a good life, or that your grades are far above most people's... is meaningless.
