Meng Wen was fine usually, but when the exam period was nearing, she would start acting oddly, trying to compete with Ye Jian1 with all sheâs got. However, the semester has started for almost two months now, and her grades were still behind Ye Jian after every mock exam.
Her grades were already good enough, but she insists on comparing with Ye Jian, whatâs the point?
An Jiaxin didnât tell the other girls about the thoughts in Meng Wenâs mind, but sheâll definitely tell Ye Jian everything she knows. When it was almost time for the night-time self-revision period, she couldnât hold it in and tittered, âI laughed so hard that I almost choked on rice. If you didnât come back and attend the exams, does it mean her grades are better than yours?â
âAiyaya, I feel like laughing again, why is she acting so awkward?â
âYou ah, if you have time to laugh at others, why donât you revise more? The midterms are on the 3rd and 4th, do you think youâre prepared enough?â Ye Jian flicked her forehead, then carried a bunch of books into the classroom.
When she arrived, there was a wave of cheering. With Jiao Hai as their leader, several students with good grades waited for Ye Jian to settle in her seat, then started surrounding her.
One spoke after the other; everyone was concerned about the situation back at Ye Jianâs home.
After the talk about family matters were over, they started talking about things regarding their study and brought up the midterms. Everyoneâs face seemed anxious; Jiao Hai said: âIâve heard a few universities are coming to First Provincial High to scout some talent. The midterm and final grades of Grade 11 students will become the reference for their admission. It is vital for our school this time around. Teacher Tong even said that our class, Class One, will become the key inspection class of the prestigious universities.â
âYou suddenly took leave for eleven days, and weâve learned lots of new material during this time. Ye Jian, youâll have to hurry up and revise.â
Another student spoke up: âTake out your maths, physics and chemistry textbooks. Iâll help you highlight them. Also, you should use your time wisely and revise. Donât delay with such a big matter.â
âWhich prestigious universities are directly recruiting? Which ones?â Ye Jian took out her textbooks for her classmate, her dainty brows raised slightly, âIs your information reliable? Whatâre the reactions for the Grade 12 classes? The focus of the admissions should be on them, shouldnât it?â
Jiao Hai laughed and said somewhat proudly: âFirst Provincial High is the Number One Prestigious School in the province. The prestigious universities would always come to our school at this time. While invigilating the Grade 12 students, theyâll also be invigilating the Grade 11 students.â
âClass One of Liberal Arts and Class One of the Sciences will always be the focus of their attention. There will always be students of First Provincial High who were directly recruited or managed to get in with their high scores. In a nutshell, our chances are way higher compared to the other schools.â
Why do parents insist on choosing prestigious schools for their children? Itâs not only because they had great teachers and abundant resources; itâs more so because their children were given plenty of opportunities!
Ye Jian hummed for a moment; then she asked: âDo you know which universities are coming? And which university are you guys aiming for?â She didnât attend high school in her previous life, and during this life, if she calculated thoroughly, she had only attended high school for less than two months. Therefore, Ye Jian wasnât that informed about things like university admissions and university entrance exams.
She wasnât informed previously, but it was not too late to ask questions.
âWe donât know yet. The school only leaked out a tiny piece of information; Teacher Tong also didnât tell us much. Ye Jian, which university are you aiming for?â
Thereâs only one school in her mind, she followed up with a smile: âYou might not believe me when I say this if it were HuaQiao University or GuangXi University, I wouldnât choose either of them. For the other schools, I donât intend to go to any of them.â She stretched out a slender finger, and Ye Jian slowly said: âI only attended high school for one goal, one school, I truly never considered about the other schools.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Meng Wen was hoping she didnât return to attend the midterms, and itâs most likely related to the entrance examsâ admissions.
