Rebirth: Those Years When I Was a Bad Student

The final exam will be over soon.

This means that they will have to change classrooms next time they come to school.

The third year of junior high school has arrived, and the high school entrance examination is beckoning.

Cheng Yao still went back to his father's place in Jingnan City, and Zhang Yumian still spent his summer vacation writing and reading.

Zhang Yumian knew very well that she was not a gifted person, all she could do was work harder than others.

But occasionally I would go shopping with Zheng Yue, help out in the store, and read books in the bookstore.

Simple but fulfilling.

Fortunately, her royalties covered the cost of her computer and daily internet fees.

In the middle, I went back to my hometown to visit my grandparents.

Cheng Yao had a very fulfilling vacation as Cheng Mingjiang signed him up for a summer camp abroad.

Cheng Mingjiang hopes that Cheng Yao can study abroad, so this can also be considered an experience.

He was also accompanied by his friend's daughter Jiang Shuying, so she could have company.

This was the first time that Cheng Yao traveled so far away, and he saw a farther and wider world.

I deeply understand what it means to "read ten thousand books, it is better to travel ten thousand miles."

They knew about his going abroad when one day when they were chatting in the group, Zhang Wentian asked him where he was having fun.

Cheng Yao said he was in class. At first I thought he was in a cram school, but as we talked I found out he was in a summer camp.

After that, he rarely replied to my messages, or he replied very slowly because there was a time difference between them.

Through the summer camp, Cheng Yao also discovered many of his shortcomings. The simplest one is that he needs to practice more in language. This time, he was also grateful for the help of Jiang Shuying.

When Cheng Yao was choosing gifts for his friends, he also prepared one for Jiang Shuying. "You helped me a lot this time. As a thank you, I'll choose a gift for you. Which one do you like?"

"Actually, I didn't help much, but since you said so, I won't be polite." After saying that, Jiang Shuying began to look at the gifts in the window.

Cheng Yao was also thinking about what to give to Zhang Yumian and the others.

When checking out, looking at the gift in Cheng Yao's hand, Jiang Shuying asked, "Are you giving gifts to two people?"

Cheng Yao looked at the bookmark and two figurines in his hand, "Three people."

Jiang Shuying nodded with an expression of understanding, "It seems that the friend who gave the bookmark is very special." After all, the gifts from the other two friends were exactly the same, a bit like buy one get one free.

Cheng Yao said calmly, "She prefers reading, so she should like it."

"Oh~ It seems you know a lot about it," Jiang Shuying said with an understanding expression.

Then holding a book next to it, "Your bookmark friend will like this one."

After Cheng Yao took a look at it, he took it as well, thinking that since Zhang Yumian liked reading, it would be a perfect match.

Jiang Shuying is three years older than Cheng Yao. She is already a sophomore in high school this year, so it is basically certain that she will go abroad after graduating from high school.

After graduating with a Ph.D., I will return to China to work.

She had decided this a long time ago, and she had a very clear plan for her life.

In the few days before the start of school, Zheng Yue basically stayed at Zhang Yumian's house because she had not finished her homework.

"Mianmian, how did you finish your homework, preview the third-year junior high school courses, and do the test papers?" Zheng Yue had a painful expression on his face.

Zhang Yumian: "Just grit your teeth and do it."

Zheng Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Why can't I do that?"

Zhang Yumian was amused, "Yueyue, have you thought about what you want to do in the future? What kind of job will you do in the future?"

“No.”

"Although it's a bit early, you can actually think about it. Maybe you already have a goal. It's actually not too early. You need to choose between arts and science in your second year of high school, and you can fill in your application in your third year of high school."

"Ah, Mianmian, you think too far ahead."

Zhang Yumian looked up at the sky outside the window and said, "It's not far away. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Time flies quickly, especially campus life, which is moving away from us non-stop.

Zhang Yumian arrived at school relatively late, and now the class was already full of classmates.

The new class was a little confusing. At this moment, she was standing at the door of the classroom, looking for her own seat.

This time she didn't wear glasses out of curiosity, so her eyesight is still good.

After a holiday, when I saw Cheng Yao here at the beginning of the school year, his eyes became brighter, as if there were stars shining in them.

"Zhang Yumian, you're here, hurry up." Zhang Wentian kept urging.

Zhang Yumian sat at the back and asked, “Why haven’t you finished your homework?” That’s not right. Yueyue had finished it, and Cheng Yao should have done it too. He shouldn’t be waiting to copy hers.

"No, I'm completing my homework very seriously now, okay?" Zhang Wentian defended himself.

Zheng Yue pulled Zhang Yumian to sit down and said to Cheng Yao, "Mian is here, the gifts can be taken out."

Seeing Zhang Yumian's confusion, Zheng Yue explained, "Cheng Yao brought us gifts from abroad and insisted on waiting for you to come before showing them to us."

Zhang Yumian didn't expect Cheng Yao to bring them gifts again. After all, they were the ones who suggested it last time, but no one mentioned it this time. "Thank you."

Cheng Yao took out three boxes again and said, "Go back and open them yourself."

Zhang Wentian shook the box and said, "Brother Cheng, the gifts for the three of us are different."

Cheng Yao turned his head and said, "Why, you want the same thing?"

Zhang Wentian shook his head. It was the same reason last time, so Zheng Yue's was chosen in the end. It seems that buddies are still good.

Zhang Wentian had no idea that the figures Cheng Yao chose for him and Zheng Yu were both action figures, one from a boys’ anime and the other from a girls’ anime.

You could also say it's different.

After returning to her seat, Zheng Yue really wanted to open it, but since Cheng Yao had just told her to open it when she got home, she endured it.

As the big bell rang, their third year of junior high school began.

After the biology and geography class, came the chemistry class.

The first chemistry class is about learning about chemistry and experimental instruments.

There is also the periodic table of chemical elements on the last page of the book.

From time to time, you can still see the dean of studies by the window or back door.

Now they are key protected animals.

There are even no more art subjects such as physical education and art classes.

Because they don’t get extra points for the high school entrance exam, they can only give in to the cultural subjects.
