"There's an arts university across from Capital University of Foreign Studies, Capital University of the Arts. You can go there; we're only one street apart. Even if you come to Capital University of Foreign Studies, our dorms are quite far apart."
"That way we can still see each other every day, okay?"
"On the other side?" Zhen Tian looked at him blankly.
"Yes, I'm over there. You can see me whenever you want."
She lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip with her upper teeth.
Ji Yuzhi couldn't resist pinching her chin, using a little force to make Zhen Tian release her lips. In just a moment, with a little pressure, a ring of small teeth marks appeared on her lower lip—it was both amusing and…
His eyes darkened, and he averted his gaze.
"Okay, if I can't get into Beijing Foreign Studies University, I'll get into Beijing Arts University." Zhen Tian thought for a long time before nodding firmly.
only……
"Still going to the Capital Foreign Languages Institute?" Ji Yuzhi was surprised that she was so insistent on going there.
“Well, I’ve worked so hard for so long, I also want to try to see if I can go to the same university as you.” Zhen Tian smiled brightly: “So you’ll tutor me, I’m sure I can do it with your help.”
"Do you really want to do this? If you're going to apply to an art college, your grades will be perfectly fine, and you won't need to stay up all night studying anymore."
Ji Yuzhi moved his palm up, his fingertips resting on Zhen Tian's lower eyelid, where there were light blue dark circles.
"How did you know!" Zhen Tian exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg in it.
"Aunt Lu called to tell me. Do you think Aunt Lu couldn't see through your little tricks?" Ji Yuzhi chuckled and patted Zhen Tian's head. "She's your own mother."
"Hmph, you knew but didn't tell me. Reading in bed is so tiring." Zhen Tian pouted.
Aunt Lu thought you wouldn't last more than a few days.
Ever since everyone found out she was studying online loans, Lu Ti had been anxiously watching her for several days before discovering that she had been secretly studying. Lu Ti was both proud and worried.
"You didn't expect that, did you?" Zhen Tian said smugly.
"Hmm, I didn't expect my sweetie to be so amazing."
Improving her high school exam score by more than 100 points is no joke; he could imagine the effort she put in, considering that Zhen Tian hadn't studied at all before.
"That's right, I'm very smart."
"So, do you still want to continue studying? It's good enough to consolidate your current grades." To be honest, he didn't want Zhen Tian to be so tired.
"study!"
But she was really motivated, clenching her fists to encourage herself: "I want to pass the exam to become the top escort!"
...
Three days later, Ji Yuzhi refused to stay in the hospital any longer.
Seeing that he was recovering well, Zhen Tian left without hesitation and went straight to the school.
“My sister-in-law didn’t miss you at all!” Zheng An nudged Ji Yuzhi and grinned mischievously.
Ji Yuzhi watched Zhen Tian's departing figure, smiling faintly without saying a word.
Anyone who knew that there was a girl working so hard for them would be overjoyed.
"Are you on steroids?" Ye Qingyan asked hesitantly. She watched Zhen Tian work through set after set of test papers without even looking up, her expression resembling a meme from the internet.
"This time they'll only tutor me, I'm sure I can get into Beijing Foreign Studies University."
After finishing the last math problem, Zhen Tian started checking the answers.
“What if you don’t get in? I’m not trying to discourage you, but actually, just passing the cutoff score isn’t enough to get into Beijing Foreign Studies University. The person who got in by a few points above the cutoff score was an example from many years ago.” Ye Qingyan’s left cheek was etched with worry, and her right cheek was etched with concern: “Last time everyone was worried that you wouldn’t be motivated, but now I’m more worried that you’ll become obsessed.”
"What are you saying!" Zhen Tian playfully slapped her hand. "I made a promise with Zhizhi that I'll study hard for the exam now, and if I don't get in, I'll go to the Capital University of the Arts. It's just across the street from the Capital University of Foreign Studies. Zhizhi took me to see it. It's very close to both."
"Shouyi?!" This time it was Ye Qingyan's turn to be pleasantly surprised: "Go to Shouyi! I'm going too! I passed the Shouyi entrance exam! Let's become twin sisters! What's so great about Shouwai?"
"There's one!"
"That art form still has me!"
Zhen Tian simply smiled at Ye Qingyan without saying a word.
"Alright, alright!" Ye Qingyan waved her hand and sighed, "I know, how can I compare to Ji Yuzhi? Compared to him, I'm just a speck of dust."
"What! I was just kidding!" Zhen Tian grabbed Ye Qingyan's arm and shook it: "If I don't pass the exam, I'll become your best friend."
"Never mind, I know you only have that wild man in your heart." Ye Qingyan transformed into a resentful woman from the deep palace.
"Are you both planning to go to City S?" Shao Junli had been listening to their conversation for a long time.
"Oh right, by the way. Where are you planning to go to university?" Zhen Tian asked him.
"I haven't decided yet, but I want to study law." Shao Junli adjusted his glasses, maintaining his usual serious demeanor. "If my grades are high, I might go to the University of Political Science and Law in N City. If my grades are low, I'll apply to the Maritime University in the Northeast. Both of these schools have very good law programs."
“N City and the Northeast are both so far away from us!” Ye Qingyan frowned. “Why don’t you go to the capital too? There should be good law programs there, after all, it’s the capital!”
"Qingyan!" Zhen Tian shook her hand, stopping her from continuing, and then said to Shao Junli, "It's okay, no matter where you go to university, we'll still be good friends, and we can still meet during winter and summer vacations."
"Yes." Shao Junli smiled. "We're friends."
He clenched his fist and smiled with relief.
January has arrived again, and the temperature in S City is already quite hot. Zhen Tian's scores have improved significantly after her third mock exam. If she scores another ten or so points this time, she will be able to reach 500 points.
Although she was excited, she also knew that the mock exams at schools would become simpler as the college entrance exam approached, to avoid putting pressure on the students.
So she didn't stop.
“Zhizhi, look, I don’t know how to solve this one…” Zhen Tian held up the test paper and pointed to the last elective question, asking Ji Yuzhi.
Ji Yuzhi tucked the bookmark he had casually placed on the table into the book and closed it.
Zhen Tian glanced at it; she could tell the font wasn't English, but she couldn't tell what language it was.
"Look at this. Based on the formula, first draw several possibilities for the parabola..."
Although he had been in university for two years, the math he had learned in high school seemed to be ingrained in Ji Yuzhi's brain. He could explain it fluently to Zhen Tian with just one glance, and even use multiple methods.
Zhen Tian was completely impressed.
"Oh, oh, oh."
"Did you understand?" Ji Yuzhi tapped Zhen Tian's head with the pen.
"I understand, I understand." Zhen Tian explained it to Ji Yuzhi.
"Okay, let's take a break first."
The two sat on the balcony outside the Zhen family's window. Calling it a balcony wasn't quite accurate; there was actually a platform where Lu Ti would plant flowers and plants when she had nothing to do, while Zhen Tian liked to read comics and eat snacks there.
