Sign up
This weekend, Xu Feifei finally didn't have to rush her homework and spent the weekend tinkering with things for the male and female leads' summer camp. Su Huan really didn't come to see her this weekend. When Xu Feifei went to see Su Huan, Su Huan always said that she was busy for the time being and that she would talk to him later.
When they returned to class on Monday, Xu Feifei went up to Zeng Hao the moment he walked in and asked, "How did it go? Did you add his name?"
Zeng Hao patted his chest and said, "You can trust me to do things. It's added!"
Seeing that things were settled, Xu Feifei said happily, "That's good. I'll treat you to milk tea this afternoon."
Zeng Hao waved his hand and said, "No need, it's no trouble at all."
What are you talking about?
When Zeng Hao saw Lin Yuan arrive, his eyes lit up, and he happily said, "Good morning, Lin Yuan!"
"It's nothing, morning reading is about to start, let's go back." Xu Feifei smiled and pushed Lin Yuan away. Turning back, she didn't forget to say to Zeng Hao, "Thanks!"
Judging from her expression, Lin Yuan knew that she must be hiding something from her.
Back in her seat, Xu Feifei was still smiling. Five minutes passed, and the smile on her lips hadn't faded.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What were you talking about with Zeng Hao just now? You seemed so happy."
How should I put this? Lin Yuan probably doesn't mind being brought together by the male and female leads, but will this sudden change arouse her suspicion?
After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "I'll help Nangong Ye and Lin Xier register for the Nordic summer camp."
"Didn't you say you weren't going to participate?"
"Yes, I'm not participating."
Lin Yuan looked at her, puzzled. "Why did you help them register?"
Xu Feifei glanced at the male lead's seat, which was still empty; he hadn't returned. The female lead, on the other hand, was already sitting in her seat, quietly reading.
Lin Yuan followed her gaze but didn't notice anything special.
Don't you think they're a good match?
Lin Yuan looked over again but still didn't find anything. However, she nodded in agreement, saying, "It's fine."
"I plan to bring them together."
Why?
Xu Feifei couldn't find a suitable reason for a moment, and asked in return, "Is it not allowed?"
"It's possible, but it just feels a bit strange," Lin Yuan said.
Xu Feifei suddenly remembered the arranged marriage they had made when they were children, and realized she could use that as a reason. After making sure no one was looking their way, she leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear and whispered, "Don't tell anyone, I'll tell you secretly."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Actually, my engagement with Nangong Ye hasn't been dissolved yet. When our parents found out about my suggestion to dissolve the engagement in class last time, they both disagreed and insisted on continuing the engagement. However, after Nangong Ye and I made some efforts, they agreed that we could only dissolve it if we still felt it wasn't right after we went to university."
Lin Yuan looked up and asked, "When did this happen?"
"That happened last month. So I thought I'd pair Nangong Ye and Lin Xier up, so that Nangong Ye could handle the matter of breaking off the engagement."
For Xu Feifei, the engagement with Nangong Ye was dispensable. In any case, it would eventually be dissolved anyway; the male lead's official partner was never the second female lead.
"By the way, only you know about this; no one else knows," Xu Feifei added.
Lin Yuan nodded.
The bell rang for morning reading, and the Chinese teacher, wearing high heels, walked to the podium, her footsteps echoing the sound. The moment she entered the classroom, the noise immediately subsided.
After looking around, the Chinese teacher announced, "The bell for morning reading has rung. Class representatives, come up and lead everyone in reading the classical Chinese text we reviewed last Friday."
Yu Meng walked towards the podium with her Chinese textbook in hand, and the sound of pages turning filled the air.
Xu Feifei looked at the digital clock behind the wall. Just like in the real world, she started studying at 7:30. Whenever she had morning reading or evening self-study, she would blame herself for not paying much attention to the information about the elite school before. She had integrated half Chinese and half Western elements into this school, which made studying in a different world just as tiring.
Even holidays have become much shorter, and summer vacation starts later. This is really unfair!
Suddenly, her dress was tugged. Xu Feifei looked over and heard Lin Yuan say, "The teacher is watching from upstairs."
She instinctively looked towards the podium, only to meet the teacher's terrifying gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked down at her book, her mouth unconsciously opening and closing, trying to bluff her way out of the situation.
The sound of high heels clicking rang out. Xu Feifei glanced at her teacher out of the corner of her eye and noticed that the teacher was coming this way. A chill ran down her spine; something terrible was about to happen!
The sound grew closer and closer, like a death knell to her. She panicked and frantically cried out to Lin Yuan for help, "Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, where? Where?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the teacher walked over to her side and asked, "Why aren't you reading along? Are you feeling unwell?"
The teacher's voice was gentle, but she had an innate fear of teachers, especially after being caught daydreaming. Head down, clutching her book, she shook her head and said, "No, I just couldn't keep up with everyone else."
"It's okay, just do it at your own pace. The exam is in two weeks, how's your preparation going?"
Upon hearing about the final exams, Xu Feifei lowered her head even further. She said, "It's...it's alright."
"Great job, keep it up!" The teacher patted her on the shoulder to encourage her.
At that moment, she looked up and saw her teacher smiling at her. Her panicked feelings were somewhat eased by that gentle smile, and she nodded vigorously, saying, "I will try my best."
The teacher nodded with satisfaction and left.
Xu Feifei breathed a sigh of relief after catching a glimpse of the teacher leaving the classroom. Then, as if lost in thought, she sighed again.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Time flies when I think about the final exams just two weeks from now!" Xu Feifei counted the days; several months had already passed since she arrived in this world. She came here in March, and it's almost July now; she's been here for nearly four months.
Lin Yuan's eyes darkened, and she said, "Indeed, what are your plans for this summer vacation?"
"Didn't we agree before that we'd go to Europe? Are you free this summer?" Xu Feifei looked at her expectantly.
"Yes, as agreed before."
Xu Feifei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then she was happy that she wouldn't have to worry about the cost of the trip. She was determined to spend money on all sorts of things, as extravagantly as possible! She would enjoy everything she couldn't experience in reality before returning home.
During the break, Xu Feifei walked up to the female lead and told her that the summer camp activity, which exempted students who ranked in the top five at the end of the semester from paying tuition fees, had begun.
After the female lead agreed, she ran off to find the male lead. Nangong Ye was looking at the scenery outside in the corridor when Xu Feifei walked up to him and said, "I've already registered you for summer camp. Remember to transfer the fee to me."
"So fast?" Nangong Ye looked at her in surprise.
"I'm just worried that the event will be over. It's the same whether it's a morning paper or a night paper," Xu Feifei said.
Nangong Ye glanced in Lin Yuan's direction, and their eyes met. Lin Yuan gave him a brief look and then lowered her head to do her homework.
After thinking for a long time, Nangong Ye hesitated before asking, "What about Lin Yuan? Is she going?"
Hearing his question, Xu Feifei knew he hadn't completely let go of Lin Yuan. She comforted him, "Lin Yuan isn't going. Didn't we talk about it before? Don't hesitate any longer, or you'll end up with nothing."
Nangong Ye already knew this ending. He sighed and lowered his eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Feifei quickly encouraged her, "I saw that Lin Xier has signed up for this summer camp. Just take the initiative then, and you'll definitely gain something."
Nangong Ye then looked in Lin Xier's direction and saw her reading a book with her head down. He asked again, "Are you sure Lin Xier went too?"
Xu Feifei nodded vigorously and said, "Go, I saw her name on the list."
"good."
After saying that, Nangong Ye stopped talking.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Xu Feifei wisely went back to the classroom. Before leaving, she reminded him again, "Remember to transfer the summer camp fee to me!"
Nangong Ye impatiently took out his phone, tapped a few times on the screen, and waved the payment page in front of her, saying, "I've transferred the money to you!"
Xu Feifei happily returned to her seat, furtively glancing around to make sure no teachers were around. She then secretly took her phone out of her bag and decisively accepted the 500,000 yuan transferred from the male lead.
Looking at the 500,000 yuan that had been deposited into her account, she hummed a little tune and then chuckled to herself with delight, "How generous! The extra is my commission!"
"Have you settled things between the two of them?" Lin Yuan asked.
Xu Feifei happily showed her the transfer page and said with a smile, "It's done! I just told them."
My mind kept replaying the summer vacation that would start the week after my exams, and I dreamed of traveling to different countries around the world. "After the exams, we'll go on a trip to Europe together! I'll cover all the expenses."
Upon hearing the words "the two of us," Lin Yuan knew that Xu Feifei's summer vacation plans included her, and she smiled happily, saying, "No need, I'll take care of it."
Xu Feifei hugged Lin Yuan tightly and said forcefully, "No way! You make the plans, I'll pay. I'll just follow you around the whole time!"
"How about we rest for three days after our exams before going on vacation? Or should we just fly there directly? What do you think?"
Xu Feifei pondered intently, then turned to look at Lin Yuan with a grin.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I think you should focus on preparing for your final exams. They're in two weeks."
Final exams are in two weeks, just two more weeks...
This is like a curse, instantly halving any happy mood. Xu Feifei pouted unhappily and said, "Why can't the school cancel the final exams? They could just finish the classes and then have a holiday!"
"You're dreaming!" Lu Ren turned to her and said.
"Isn't that right? That way, the students will definitely have a much easier time."
"Without final exams and rankings, how can the school implement a bottom-ranking elimination system for classes?" Lu Ren sighed, holding his book.
The term "bottom-of-the-class elimination system" was very familiar to Xu Feifei. They had mentioned implementing this system during the previous monthly exams, which had given her quite a scare. In the end, it never happened, and it was all a false alarm.
"Is it really going to be implemented? They said the same thing during the previous monthly exams, but they didn't do it anyway. Is it just to scare the students?"
Lu Ren shook his head and said, "Class changes are done after each semester's final exams, based on student rankings. Changing classes after each monthly exam is too frequent and puts a lot of psychological pressure on the students."
"Moreover, the ranking is calculated based on a certain percentage of the scores from monthly exams, midterms, and finals, and then the ranking is determined. Therefore, no major exam can be ignored."
Xu Feifei nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Lu Ren glanced at the books on her desk and teased, "So? Are you confident in yourself?"
Xu Feifei shook her head decisively and said, "No, I just need to make sure my grades aren't at the bottom."
"Don't think too much about it, you'll catch up later," Lin Yuan said from the side.
Xu Feifei looked at Lin Yuan thoughtfully. Would they catch up?
She was able to stay in Class A entirely because her family donated a building here; her grades didn't really matter. But following the typical trope of novels, she should be able to pull off a comeback and get into Tsinghua or Peking University, right?
Can we catch up? Is it possible?
