"What? Du Chen didn't go to high school? Did something happen in his family? Or did something happen to him? Can you tell me?"
Wang Luqi, who was originally a little shy, suddenly changed her expression and asked Liu Yi anxiously, eager to know Du Chen's current situation and what had happened.
"No, Wang Luqi, don't worry. What could have happened to Du Chen? I'll tell you slowly. But I want to ask you, why are you so worried about Du Chen?"
Liu Yi was asking despite knowing the answer, but he still wanted to confirm what was going on. What if Du Chen didn't pay back his debt? Maybe?
“…”
Wang Luqi blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.
"So you're just worried about Du Chen, right?"
Liu Yi knew that girls were too sensitive to their reputation and might be too embarrassed to speak out, so Liu Yi could only determine Wang Luqi's thoughts by asking.
"Um……"
There was a barely audible reply and an almost invisible nod.
"Oh, I see..."
Liu Yi's ending tune was so winding that it made Wang Luqi's face turn even redder.
"Don't worry, Du Chen is fine. What could happen to him?"
Liu Yi really comforted Wang Luqi, but still didn't say what happened to Du Chen. This gave Wang Luqi the courage to look at Liu Yi, wanting to know what happened to Du Chen.
Liu Yi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Wang Luqi, and then he didn't dare to keep it a secret anymore.
"Um, do you remember Du Chen's transfer to another school?"
Liu Yi helped Wang Luqi recall it from the beginning.
"Um……"
"Du Chen didn't continue attending elementary school after transferring to the city, but went straight to junior high school!"
"What? Skipping straight to junior high school?"
Wang Luqi asked Liu Yi in disbelief. She had never known about this before! When she was little, she just couldn't accept that Du Chen was better at studying than she was. Du Chen was lazy every day, not listening in class, not doing homework after class, but his grades on every test were better than hers. And to be frank, she was given the position of study committee member because Du Chen didn't want to be one. This was a big blow to her, as she had always been proud.
So Wang Luqi always tries hard to surpass Du Chen's academic performance, not to prove it to others, but to prove to herself that she is indeed better than Du Chen.
But everything came to an abrupt end in the fourth grade when Du Chen suddenly transferred schools! At first, Du Chen's transfer didn't mean anything to her at all; he was just an ordinary classmate who had transferred. But as time went on, she would think of Du Chen from time to time, especially before and after exams. She would often think about Du Chen's test scores and wonder if she had surpassed Du Chen's this time.
At the beginning, Wang Luqi didn't care about this matter. In her opinion, it was just her character that refused to admit defeat, and Du Chen ran away halfway. The transferred Du Chen did not give her the chance to surpass him.
However, after entering junior high school, Wang Luqi not only did not forget her classmate Du Chen, but her memory of him became even more profound. She dreamed of Du Chen several times before and after the midterm and final exams. It was not an unhealthy dream, but she dreamed that she lost the exam to Du Chen again. Although she was very angry in the dream, after waking up, Du Chen's eyebrows and eyes became clearer and deeper in her mind. When she thought of Du Chen, Wang Luqi always felt weird inside, with a bitter feeling and a little faster heartbeat.
Wang Luqi knew what this meant, and she couldn't help but laugh at herself. He was just an ordinary classmate of hers, and they hadn't seen each other for five or six years, but she couldn't forget him and even had a little feeling of love for him. Wang Luqi felt that she was really sick. She persuaded herself that maybe when she saw Du Chen again in the future, her heart would give her the most real answer?
So after meeting Liu Yi, an old classmate who had a particularly good relationship with Du Chen today, Wang Luqi couldn't help but want to find out where Du Chen was, because she had already attended classes at the No. 1 Middle School in the city for a semester and had never seen Du Chen. If Du Chen really disappeared, perhaps the slight obsession in her heart would also disappear. However, without any definite news about Du Chen, she always felt a little unwilling.
"You said Du Chen skipped a grade and went straight to junior high school, so where is he now?"
Wang Luqi pressed the issue. She found it hard to believe that Du Chen had skipped a grade and gone to junior high school in the fourth grade. The gap between her and him back then must have been enormous! But what was Du Chen doing now?
"That's right. In fourth grade, he transferred to the city and went straight to the No. 1 Middle School!"
Liu Yi explained to Wang Luqi.
"When we were in sixth grade, Du Chen was already in the third year of junior high school. When we graduated from elementary school, Du Chen took the high school entrance exam and graduated from middle school!"
Liu Yi and Rong Youyan explained to Wang Luqi that although the protagonist was not themselves but their friend Du Chen, after all, Du Chen was their best brother, so he also felt very proud.
"How did Du Chen do in the high school entrance exam? What has he been doing since graduating from junior high school?"
Wang Luqi continued to ask Liu Yi.
"He's in high school. Speaking of which, he's your senior. He's also from the No. 1 Middle School in the city!"
Liu Yi smiled and told Wang Luqi the answer.
"Really? Du Chen is indeed amazing!"
Wang Luqi sighed.
"We just started high school. So, it seems like Du Chen has already graduated from high school?"
Wang Luqi suddenly thought of this question and asked Liu Yi.
