"Ruya, your English has improved a lot recently. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't notice your potential before. Are you interested in participating in the English competition?"

She has now become a dark horse in Su Li's eyes.

Su Li didn't tell her the details, but Ru Ya knew that after the monthly exam, Su Li would take her students to the capital of Yan Province to participate in the competition.

If you can win a prize in an English competition, you will get extra points in the college entrance examination. In this life, Ruya wants to surpass herself in her previous life and get into a prestigious university. The extra points have a fatal appeal to her.

There were two voices in Ruya’s heart: one was to go quickly, as it was such a good opportunity, and with a good ranking, you could get more than ten extra points in the college entrance examination; the other was not to go, as Su Li was taking more than just you with her, and you had to learn to avoid risks after you were reborn!

So she didn't agree to Su Li immediately, but just said that she needed to ask the parents' opinion. Su Li expressed her understanding that even if she was over the legal age of adulthood, she was still a child, and if the child wanted to go to compete in other places, she must of course get the parents' consent.

The reason why Ruya knew the time and place of the competition was because the person Su Li brought to the competition in her previous life was Nanxing.

Nanxing went to study in the United States after graduating from elementary school, so her spoken English was naturally not bad, but she only got fifth place that year and missed the CCTV competition.

Her spoken English is standard, but she has been abroad for many years and cannot cope well with some routines in written tests, for example, some people from English-speaking countries cannot even pass the CET-4 and CET-6 papers in China.

However, even such a result of fifth place in the province made the leaders of No. 27 Middle School proud, and it was also publicized for a while that year.

If Nanxing could make it into the top three that year, she would be able to participate in CCTV's English Speech Contest.

Back then, she and Lin Qiqi felt sorry for Nanxing for a long time, thinking it was a pity that Nanxing, who was so outstanding, did not make it into the top three.

She was so innocent at that time. She was really sold by others and still counted money for others.

English competition? She wanted to go. It was a great opportunity to show herself.

As for her parents' opinions, she had never considered them, because Ru Guohua and Feng Zhilan had supported any decision she made since she was a child. It was also because of this that she developed an independent and decisive character.

But if that were the case, I would have to contact Nanxing.

As for Nanxing, she had no intention of actively interacting with her. The fewer interactions they had, the more things could be avoided.

So, she does need to consider it.

As soon as Ruya entered the classroom, Lin Qiqi turned into her super fan girl, "Xiaoya, these past two days I always feel that you are a little different from before. It turns out that you are even better. How did you improve your English so quickly? Come and teach me!"

Lin Qiqi blinked and looked at Ru Ya, waiting for her answer.

Ruya cleared her throat, and Lin Qiqi immediately handed Ruya a cup of water.

She couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Qiqi's expression.

"Do you really want to know?" Ru Ya wanted to tease Lin Qiqi.

Lin Qiqi nodded vigorously.

"From now on, Teacher Ru will take 45 minutes every day to give you a private lesson. I will pass on all my learning experience to you without reservation. I guarantee that you will get 130 points in the college entrance examination in English."

Ru Ya took out the vocabulary book she had prepared in advance and said, "If you want to reach the level of Teacher Ru, start memorizing 100 words every day from today."

Lin Qiqi: “…”

Why do I feel like I've been tricked? Xiaoya is so bad.

Lin Qiqi took the vocabulary book sullenly, secretly took out her cell phone from her trouser pocket and started fiddling with it.

In 2007, not many high school students had cell phones. Those who were better off had their families equipped with cell phones. Children were bound to have emergencies at school, and having a cell phone would make things more convenient.

At that time, mobile phones did not have as many functions as they do in 2022. A phone with a color screen, polyphonic ringtones, the ability to log into QQ, and the ability to take photos was considered a top-of-the-line device.

Some of them don’t even have a camera function, like Lin Qiqi’s phone.

Parents buy mobile phones for their children so that they can contact them more easily, not so that they can play with them at school. Therefore, most parents buy their children ordinary mobile phones without cameras and with blue or green screens, whose only functions are making calls and sending text messages.

Ruya doesn’t have a mobile phone yet. She uses a phone card. The school has a public telephone and a call costs 4 cents per minute.

In the two days from yesterday to today, Ruya has not used the phone card in her schoolbag. One reason is that there is really no urgent need to contact her parents, and the other is that she has returned from 2022 and is really not used to this way of making phone calls!

If she wants to make a phone call, she has to run out to make it. She might as well not make the call...

No. 27 Middle School does not allow students to bring any items other than study items, so students secretly put them in their pockets and take them out to use, because if the teacher finds out, the items will be confiscated.

After being confiscated, the phones were returned to the students only after the college entrance exam. Because there had been such a precedent, no one dared to look at the phones openly.

"Xiaoya, today is September 9th!" Lin Qiqi suddenly made a fuss.

"Well, what's wrong?" Ruya asked without looking up from the book in her hand.

Lin Qiqi stared at Ru Ya intently. She felt frightened by the little girl's stare. She put down the book, turned around, and looked back at Lin Qiqi.

Ouch, I can't stand it. When Xiaoya looks at me like this, I feel my heart beating faster. Who says that I will only blush when being stared at by the opposite sex? I will blush too when being looked at by a pretty girl of the same sex, okay?

Lin Qiqi found that Ruya really didn't understand what she meant, so she sighed and said, "Xiaoya was so confused."

"Xiaoya, your 18th birthday is in a week. What gift do you want?"

Ru Ya was slightly stunned. 18 years old? Gift?

Her brain has been working at high speed these past two days, with so many things to think about that she really didn't think about this at all.

She is 32 years old and she is about to celebrate her 18th birthday. This is really... like an old cucumber painted green. Ruya is a little scared.

Lin Qiqi was still beside her, waiting for her reply earnestly. Ruya felt warm in her heart. She and Lin Qiqi had known each other since they were 15 years old and had been in the same class since high school.

At the beginning of the friendship between the two girls, Lin Qiqi was the active one.

Because of her experience in junior high school, Ruya initially rejected Lin Qiqi.

Because one of the girls who bullied her in junior high school was also her "friend" at first, or rather, Ruya thought she was her friend.

So after entering high school, she didn't want to deal with anyone. She just wanted to finish high school well and then go to college.

During the half-time break of the military training for the first year of high school, Ruya was sitting alone on the steps watching students from other classes marching. Suddenly, a bottle of mineral water appeared in front of her. Lin Qiqi sat down next to her in a familiar manner and started chattering beside her.
