Chapter 505 Test
"Dad, Sister Mingyue." Ji Lili greeted the two of them with a normal expression.
"I'll take your sister Mingyue to the principal to handle the transfer." Ji Yushu explained the reason why he appeared on campus.
"Hello, classmate. I am Lili's cousin. Nice to meet you." Ji Mingyue nodded to Ji Lili and took the initiative to extend her right hand towards Wu Juyue.
Ji Yushu's successful blind date with Jiang Yulan was largely due to this face, and Ji Mingyue inherited his good looks. Wu Juyue was stunned when she saw her outstretched hand, then quickly reached out and shook her hand, smiling and saying, "Hello, my name is Wu Juyue."
"Maybe we will be classmates in the future." Ji Mingyue winked at Wu Juyue playfully.
After the two left, Wu Juyue used her arms to greet the person next to her: "Lili, why haven't I heard you mention this cousin before?"
"I just found out about it yesterday too." Ji Lili spread her hands towards her, but her eyes fell on the top of her head. Unfortunately, there was nothing there. She just saw Ji Mingyue's eyes light up after he glanced at the top of her head, and there was also a subsequent handshake. She guessed that Ji Mingyue must have seen something there because of her system, so Wu Juyue is her next target?
"Ah, what's going on?" Wu Juyue's tone was full of curiosity.
Ji Lili thought, as expected, no matter what era or age group, no one can escape the charm of gossip. She whispered, "I heard from my dad that Sister Mingyue was the daughter of my eldest uncle who was born when he went to the countryside. My uncle passed away shortly after giving birth to her, and she has been living with her mother. This time, her grandfather and uncle didn't let her continue her studies and wanted to exchange her for a betrothal gift, so she ran away from home and came to find my grandparents. Unfortunately, my grandparents and my third uncle didn't care about her, so she had no choice but to come to my dad."
Ji Lili recounted Ji Mingyue's experience according to their words. She remembered that in the plot, she and Jiang Yulan felt sorry for her experience and embellished many details for her. Unexpectedly, these details later turned into sharp blades and stabbed them and their daughter. This time, she would not be a good person again.
"She's so miserable!" Wu Juyue looked sympathetic.
"Yeah, it would be great if she could be assigned to our class, then I could take better care of her." Ji Lili said with a sigh.
"Yes, this way you can take care of me. But your parents are very nice. Your grandparents and your third uncle are too heartless." Wu Juyue frowned.
"I heard my eldest uncle originally went to the countryside to replace my third uncle. I never thought my third uncle wouldn't even care about his only child." Originally, the Ji family members who were supposed to go to the countryside were Ji Yushu and third uncle Ji Yumo, but Ji Yumo had been in poor health since childhood, so my eldest uncle Ji Yu'an gave him the job and went to the countryside in his place. These stories were later told by the Ji family members themselves in the plot, and they weren't fabricated by her.
"That's too much." Wu Juyue looked angry.
"Yeah, they don't care anymore. If my family doesn't care either, what will happen to her?" Ji Lili looked helpless.
"That's right." Wu Juyue blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Let's go to the classroom first," Ji Lili said, glancing at Wu Juyue. They had been classmates in junior high before high school, so if you think about it, they should be considered schoolmates now. As for Ji Mingyue's strategy, she wasn't afraid of it. In her opinion, true friends, family, and loved ones couldn't be snatched away. Of course, she wasn't really sixteen, so she could just go for it.
High school desks and chairs were already single-person. Ji Lili stuffed her bag into the desk. Today was the second day of school, and the schedule hadn't been released yet, so even the seats were random. Wu Juyue, who was standing next to her, put her bag away and whispered, "Did you say your cousin would be in our class later?"
Ji Lili glanced at her. They had only just met once, yet she was so concerned about him. Was this the legendary heroine's aura? Under her gaze, Ji Lili nodded, her tone firm: "I will."
Wu Juyue didn't know why she was so sure, but she couldn't help but believe it: "It would be great if she came."
"It's good," Ji Lili nodded, lowering her head to pull out a random book from her bag. In the plot, ever since the heroine arrived, she'd been hysterical because her friends and classmates chose Ji Mingyue, neglecting her grades and ultimately not even earning a high school diploma. She felt like the characters in the story were controlled by the plot; no matter what, she wouldn't give up on her studies.
"Hey, do you think the teacher will rearrange the seats today?" Wu Juyue said as she slowly pulled a book out of her bag. The word "Chinese" was written in large letters on the brown paper. She glanced at Ji Lili beside her and said with a hint of surprise, "Lili, haven't you packed your new books yet?"
"I had something to do at home yesterday and didn't have time to go." Ji Lili had forgotten about this. In the past, when new books were distributed at the beginning of the school year, it was always Ji Yushu who packed the new books for her. But yesterday, because of Ji Mingyue's arrival, he completely forgot about this matter.
"Okay, the teacher is here." After saying that, Wu Juyue quickly sat up straight and pretended to be studying seriously.
Ji Lili chuckled, slowly opened the new book and began to preview the first lesson.

Ji Mingyue followed Ji Yushu to the principal's office. Seeing him greet the principal familiarly, satisfaction flashed in her eyes. It is said that everyone hates people with connections, but everyone wants to be one. Who doesn't want to be the one who is treated specially?
"Principal Yang, this is my niece. She has good grades, but her family has held her back." Ji Yushu pointed at Ji Mingyue beside him.
"Okay, let's test the level first so that we can divide the classes later." The principal said and the teachers of the first-year group went to prepare the test papers.
At that time, classes were divided according to grades. Ji Lili did well in the high school entrance examination and is now in the Rocket Class. Ji Mingyue lowered her eyes, her goal was also to be in the Rocket Class.
Ji Mingyue spent the entire day taking tests. She thought she had it all figured out, but when she saw the questions on the test paper, her relaxed expression cracked for a moment. Thinking of her task, she tried hard to recall her high school knowledge and finished the papers with great difficulty.
Seeing her coming out of the office, Ji Yushu stood up to greet her and said gently, "How do you feel?"
"I think it should be fine." Ji Mingyue said casually.
"It doesn't matter if I can't get into Lili's class. There'll be another chance next time." Even though he said this, Ji Yushu couldn't help but smile. Over the years, he'd doted on Ji Lili partly to show it to the Jiang family, and partly because Ji Lili herself had always been a proud and hardworking person. Ji Lili had attended a school run jointly by the cotton mill and other factories since she was little. Her classmates were all descendants of factory employees, so they all knew each other well. After every exam, he'd hear a ton of praise.
"Dad, believe me, I can do it." Ji Mingyue emphasized with a clenched fist, and the attack value remained unchanged from morning till now.
"Well, I believe you. Let's go. From now on, when there is no one around, you should call me second uncle. What if someone hears you?" Ji Yushu warned seriously.
"I'm sorry. I was beaten and called a 'bastard' when I was little. Now that I know I have a father, I can't help but want to call him that." Ji Mingyue explained with a guilty look on her face.
"It's okay. You can call me when we're alone in private in the future." Ji Yushu hurriedly comforted him. Seeing that the strategy value above his head had risen again, Ji Mingyue raised the corners of her lips where he couldn't see: "Okay, second uncle." She said in a well-behaved tone.
"We'll go back after picking up Lili." Ji Yushu said as he walked towards Ji Lili's class with familiarity.
"Then I'll go with my second uncle." Ji Mingyue thought, Ji Lili is so lucky, but it doesn't matter, soon all this will be hers.
With five minutes left before the end of get out of class, the people in the classroom began to stir. Wu Juyue nudged Ji Lili with her arm and said enviously, "Lili, your dad and the others are outside. They're probably waiting for you to finish school."
"Yeah." Ji Lili withdrew her gaze from the blackboard and turned to the window. Her eyes swept across the faces of the two people. To be honest, Ji Mingyue looked more like him.
When the school bell rang, Ji Lili lowered her head to pack her schoolbag. Wu Juyue beside her sighed, "The seats will be reassigned tomorrow. Can we still sit together?"
Ji Lili glanced at Wu Juyue, who was half a head shorter than her, shook her head and said truthfully, "Probably not."
Wu Juyue paused, then said with a sad face: "Although, can't you say something nice?"
Ji Lili smiled and rubbed her head, saying in a gentle tone: "It doesn't matter if we're not deskmates. We can still go to the bathroom together, go to the cafeteria together, and go home together."
"That's right." Wu Juyue nodded with satisfaction.
After the two of them left the classroom, Ji Mingyue was the first to greet them, her tone full of envy: "Lili, the tables and chairs in your classroom are really nice. Unlike my previous study, I still had those double desks, and the legs of the stools would sometimes fall off."
"Isn't the school going to replace it with a new one?" Wu Juyue was attracted by her words and looked curious.
"The conditions are limited. Some classes don't even have enough desks and chairs." Ji Mingyue shook her head.
"Is that so?" Wu Juyue didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Go home first." Ji Yushu didn't like her talking about the past in front of outsiders.
Wu Juyue waved to them: "Bye, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow." Ji Lili also waved at her. After she left, Ji Mingyue looked at Ji Lili with a smile: "Lili, we can go to school together tomorrow."
"Lili, Mingyue has just arrived, so please take good care of her at school." Ji Yushu reminded.
"I know, Dad, my new book hasn't been packed yet." Ji Lili reminded.
"Look at me, I actually forgot about this." Ji Yushu said as he reached out to take his schoolbag. His regret was so obvious that Ji Lili was a little dazed for a moment. Was it really right for her to "sentence" him directly for something that had not happened yet?
