What he's doing now is constantly expanding his vocabulary. His goal in attending a foreign language university isn't to further his English studies, but rather to learn other languages.
Having translated numerous English academic works, his English proficiency was undeniable. This was the only reason Lu Yiran truly admired him.
The classroom was quiet except for the sound of pages turning.
About twenty minutes later, the homeroom teacher returned with a sponge sticker and stuck it directly onto the blackboard in the classroom.
"Students, there are 101 days left until the college entrance examination. Tomorrow, the school will hold a 100-day countdown rally. Starting tomorrow, your studies will enter the countdown. Your years of hard work will finally pay off." Perhaps because the principal had just mobilized the students, the teacher was quite emotional, and her eyes reddened as she spoke.
"Your teacher is overjoyed to witness this first moment of glory in your lives. I also hope that in these final hundred days, you will not give up or slack off. As the saying goes, 'Old books are never tiresome to read a hundred times; thorough reading and deep thinking will lead to understanding.' Every second you spend now will be reflected on your college entrance exam papers. Your teacher believes you will all achieve a result that satisfies you."
After the teacher finished speaking, the students in the class applauded in a very respectful manner.
The homeroom teacher breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly pleased: "Tomorrow, Lu Yiran and Ji Yuzhi, please prepare and give a simple speech on stage. You don't need to prepare too much, just speak as usual. Okay, you two continue studying."
The teacher had no worries about the two students, since speaking up was as commonplace for them as eating.
As expected, the two nodded in agreement without any reaction and continued doing what they were doing.
…………
Zhen Tian struggled to carry the food to the classroom, and she was so tired that she sat down in her seat panting.
Since it's only the first year of high school, there's not much of a sense of urgency, and not many people are sitting in the classroom at this time.
Yang Feiguang walked in early in the morning, drenched in sweat after finishing his game.
"Sweetie, you're up so early today?" Yang Feiguang took a sip of water, casually wiped his mouth, and walked over to rummage through the bag Zhen Tian had placed on the table.
"Why did you bring so many snacks?"
"Don't move." Zhen Tian patted his hand. "This is for Qingyan and Yuanyuan."
"?" Yang Feiguang's features scrunched up, vividly demonstrating the word "bewildered": "Why?"
"I think they've been really unhappy lately, and when they're unhappy, they need to eat," Zhen Tian explained to him in a serious tone.
"Tch. We're all grown up now, who would feel better just by eating some snacks when they're in a bad mood?"
"I."
Zhen Tian stared at him with a tense expression, her unwavering gaze carrying a hint of intimidation.
Shao Junli walked in and was immediately pulled away by Yang Feiguang: "Tian Tian, don't pay attention to this big oaf."
"Hmph, I'm not going to stoop to his level," Zhen Tian said with a cold snort, arms crossed.
So cute! Shao Junli's heart was beating unusually fast, and a suspicious blush appeared on her face.
"Hey, Qingyan." Zhen Tian's face lit up with a bright smile when she saw the person she wanted to see: "Come quick, I brought you lots of delicious food."
Zhen Tian grabbed Ye Qingyan's hand and sat her down in the seat. She rummaged through the bag and threw what she thought was the best food onto Ye Qingyan's lap.
"What's this for?" Ye Qingyan asked, bewildered, holding a pile of snacks.
"I know you've been in a bad mood lately, and I'm not very good at comforting people." Zhen Tian gave a simple, honest smile. "But when you're in a bad mood, you should eat something good. That will make you feel better."
Ye Qingyan opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything and just squeezed Zhen Tian's hand: "Thank you. I feel much better."
Zhen Tian is innocent, but not stupid.
She can clearly sense whether the people around her are happy or not.
However, since Ye Qingyan had already said that, she wouldn't ask any further questions.
"When you're ready to tell me, you must tell me why you're unhappy." Zhen Tian grasped Ye Qingyan's hand and smiled broadly.
"Okay." Ye Qingyan blinked hard and took a deep breath. She didn't want to bring her sadness to the little girl beside her.
Zhen Tian didn't go to see her, afraid that she would also be sad.
Wait a moment, Yuan Yuan is here.
She repeated the same thing to Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan stared at Zhen Tian for a long time: "What an idiot."
"I feel like you're making a personal attack on me," Zhen Tian pouted.
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. You don't need to worry about me, you silly girl." Yuan Yuan tapped her forehead: "You should worry about your grades instead."
"I don't think you're cute when you keep poking at people's sore spots," Zhen Tian hummed as she returned to her seat.
Anyway, she had expressed her feelings, and she felt much more relaxed.
...
On the second day, all teachers and students were required to go to the stadium to watch the rally.
According to the teachers in grades 10 and 11, the message was meant to show you kids that you'll be running your own businesses someday. It was a way to boost morale in advance.
Of course, this is the version translated by Yang Feiguang; the teacher certainly wouldn't have said it so bluntly.
"Hey, isn't that your brother?" Ye Qingyan remained silent, but Yang Feiguang was very talkative.
Zhen Tian looked towards the high platform in the stadium. Besides outstanding students like Ji Yuzhi and Lu Yiran, there were also some students in formal dresses who were responsible for presenting awards.
I guess it's some kind of publicity stunt by the school.
Zhen Tian looked at it carefully: "Yes."
Yang Feiguang answered.
"Don't even mention it, even I, a grown man, can tell these two are extraordinary at a glance. Aren't those girls going crazy?" Before Yang Feiguang could finish speaking, Lu Yiran went up on stage to speak first.
The surrounding girls were immediately abuzz.
"Who is that? He's so handsome!"
"My goodness, this is an outstanding student, and I'm totally smitten with his looks."
"See, what did I say?" Yang Feiguang spread his hands triumphantly.
Zhen Tian was smiling foolishly.
Not long after, when it was Ji Yuzhi's turn to speak, the group of enthusiastic girls erupted into a huge discussion once again.
"He's practically my dream man."
"This is the most beautiful image of a top student in an idol drama."
"I felt like I was filming some kind of idol drama. I wonder if this senior has a girlfriend?"
"I guess so. It's illogical for someone that good-looking not to have a girlfriend. He could probably change girlfriends every day."
"Maybe the senior is too engrossed in his studies, so we still have a chance."
"Tsk." Ye Qingyan shook her head; there are infatuated girls everywhere.
As Zhen Tian listened to everyone's discussion, the smile on her face disappeared at some point, replaced by a pout.
Ji Yuzhi was the last to speak, and after his speech, it was time for the awards ceremony. Just as Zhen Tian was wondering what she was angry about, another gasp went up from the crowd.
When Zhen Tian looked up, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
