In the new year, everyone is working hard according to their expectations.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the new semester. For Gu Lei, this new semester is full of challenges and pressure. With the high school entrance exam approaching, his study workload is becoming increasingly heavy.
Every morning, before dawn, Gu Lei wakes up early to begin a busy day of study. In class, he listens intently, afraid to miss any important points. After class, he doesn't dare to slack off, diligently completing every assignment.
Gu Lei knew that getting into a key high school was crucial to his future. Only by getting into a good high school could he have a better chance of getting into his ideal university and achieving his life goals. Therefore, he secretly resolved to work hard and strive for excellent results in the high school entrance exam.
To improve his learning efficiency, Gu Lei developed a detailed study plan and strictly followed it. He used his spare time to address gaps and strengthen weak subjects. He also actively participated in various tutoring courses and mock exams to continuously improve his test-taking skills.
Despite the daunting academic workload, Gu Lei remains optimistic and positive. He believes that as long as he puts in hard work, he will reap the fruits of success. At this critical juncture, he will go all out to pursue his dream!
Seeing that Gu Lei had lost some weight recently, Lu Wanwan guessed that he must not have slept well due to his studies. She found an opportunity to chat with Gu Lei, "Gu Lei, have you been under a lot of pressure studying lately? I see you've lost a lot of weight."
Gu Lei thought for a moment and said, "Actually, my grades are pretty stable. I'm just a little nervous about taking the high school entrance exam this year. I want to spend more time studying."
"You can't do this. The high school entrance exam is still three months away. If you have health problems by then, it will be even more troublesome. You need to balance work and rest. Since your grades are stable, just keep maintaining them. There's no need to neglect food and sleep."
"But others are working hard, and I'm afraid of being surpassed by them. I'm afraid of not being able to get into a key high school."
"If you can maintain your current performance, there will be no problem. If you continue like this, your performance may really decline. Find some time to go out and relax."
"Yeah, I'll try."
After chatting with Gu Lei, Lu Wanwan went straight to find Gu Feng with a serious look on her face.
"Gu Feng, are you busy at the company today?"
Gu Feng thought about it. Now that the company is on the right track and the new industry is not developing, it is not that busy. He is not idle either. There is someone in charge of each project, so it doesn’t matter whether he is there or not.
"It's okay. I'm being watched. It doesn't matter if I go or not. Why don't you take Gu Lei to relax? You see how nervous Gu Lei is. If he doesn't relax, I'm afraid his body will collapse before he can even make it to the high school entrance exam."
Gu Feng thought about it. Is that the case? Why didn't he feel that "Gu Lei is very nervous? Isn't his performance very stable?"
"Very stable but also nervous? Look how thin he has become recently and his mental state isn't good."
"Then I won't go to the company today. I'll take him out for a walk and relax for a while."
When Gu Feng saw Gu Lei, he was shocked himself. How could Gu Lei be so thin, with dark circles under his eyes? How come he hadn't noticed Gu Lei's changes? No, he hadn't seen Gu Lei recently, going out early and coming back late.
"Gu Lei, pack up and I'll take you out for a walk."
"Ah, second brother, aren't you going to the company?"
"You don't have to go today. Let's go to the factory and take a look. Come with me."
Gu Lei said "oh" and went to change his clothes, thinking that it was his second sister-in-law who asked his second brother to take him out. In fact, he could hold on.
Gu Feng first took him to the furniture factory, then to the garment factory, and finally the two of them had dinner together. After dinner, he took Gu Lei to the company and asked Bai Junyu and others to have dinner together after get off work.
On the way home, Gu Feng asked Gu Lei, "How do you feel today? Do you have any feelings?"
Gu Lei thought for a moment and said, "I feel like everyone is very busy and the work pressure is very high."
"Everyone has pressure, and the pressure in life is not small. You have to learn to release it. Studying is not the only way out. It just makes your life easier in the future. Others have to go through wind and rain, while you don't have to sit in an office. It is not the only way out."
"Second brother, I understand."
Perhaps he truly understood the deeper meaning! Since then, Gu Lei has been transformed, no longer pushing himself to do anything. He's learned to relax and enjoy life, and his health has gradually improved.
Time flies, and a few short months have passed in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, we have arrived at the tense and crucial moment of the high school entrance examination.
There are two pivotal moments in a person's life that can change their destiny: the high school entrance exam (zhongkao), and the college entrance exam (gaokao). These two exams are like two single-plank bridges, with a turbulent river beneath and a crowd of people trying to cross. Only by crossing these two bridges can one reach a broader world and embrace more opportunities and challenges. However, successfully crossing these two bridges is no easy task; it requires immense effort and perseverance.
The moment he walked into the examination room, Gu Lei felt extremely relaxed. One reason was that he was confident in his results, and the other was that he adjusted his mindset in time. He did not think of the high school entrance examination as something so irreplaceable that he had to get a certain score. He just let everything take its course.
The moment the high school entrance exam results were announced, it felt as if the entire world froze and time stopped flowing. But at this moment, Gu Lei's heart was filled with an uncontrollable surge of joy and excitement.
He stared at his score with wide eyes, his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat. Every number was so familiar and strange, but the combination of them was so perfect - this was exactly the score he had dreamed of and longed for!
Gu Lei's lips curled up involuntarily, his eyes sparkling with excitement. This achievement was completely expected! Countless days and nights of hard work, countless late nights studying, had finally reaped today's fruitful results. With his own strength and perseverance, he had earned the top spot in the school and been admitted to a key high school!
At this moment, all the efforts have been rewarded; at this moment, the dream has become reality; at this moment, Gu Lei feels extremely proud and satisfied.
The road ahead is still long, but he has already taken a solid step forward. I believe that in the rest of his high school life, Gu Lei will continue to forge ahead and create more brilliance of his own!
Gu Lei was eager to share this exciting news with Xue Kai, so he chose to write a letter to express his excitement.
When his family heard the news, they decided to celebrate for him. They originally thought it would be a small celebration at home, but unexpectedly some of Gu Feng's good friends came over. In the end, they booked two tables at the Time Restaurant to celebrate Gu Lei's admission to a key high school.
During this period, Gu Lei also received many gifts. Many people sighed that the family members of the top students were also top students. Only Gu Lei knew how much effort and sweat he had put in to get the title of top student.
Gu Jingrui has been in a bad mood. Now that there is a new top student in their family, he feels that life is not good anymore because he is not a top student. Seeing Jingrui like this, the whole family couldn't stop laughing.
