It was a selfie with a bright smile, accompanied by the caption: “New class, new beginning. Let’s hope there won’t be as many misunderstandings this time. Wishing everyone a good time!”

Shen Jun read the caption repeatedly and finally decided to send a message to Jiang Chun.

Shen Jun: Are you adjusting well to the new class?

Jiang Chun, ever watchful of her pocketed phone, sensed a slight vibration against her thigh. Swiftly retrieving it, her eyes lit up with joy as she discovered the message was from none other than Shen Jun. A triumphant smirk played upon her lips, but instead of replying right away, she decided to wait until the final bell signaled the end of the class, biding her time before crafting a response.

Jiang Chun: “I’m not used to it. After all, 1 have to get to know all my classmates again. Fortunately, my classmates are very enthusiastic. I should be able to get used to it soon.”

Jiang Chun: We are friends, and when 1 transferred to the new class, I did consider telling you in advance. But I was afraid that Wen Nian might overthink again, and if it caused any more trouble in your relationship, then the purpose of my transfer would be in vain.

Jiang Chun deliberately emphasized that her decision to transfer was driven by Wen Nian’s suspicions and her desire to avoid causing any trouble for Shen Jun.

She chose to endure the discomfort and leave behind a familiar environment.

When Shen Jun read Jiang Chun’s message, his previous thoughts did waver slightly. However, in that moment, he decided not to delve deeper into the matter and made a deliberate choice to ignore it.

Shen Jun: Jiang Chun, we’re friends. I won’t forget the bond we formed when you helped me conceal that scar. If you ever face any tricky problems in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Jiang Chun could sense that although Shen Jun’s overall attitude towards her hadn’t shifted, the promise he made indicated that she still held a place in his life. Shen Jun’s lingering guilt could be the ideal angle to approach him in their interactions moving forward.

Observing Shen Jun’s response, Jiang Chun smiled faintly and muttered under her breath, “No worries. I have plenty of time. The real battlefield awaits in the capital.”

Jiang Chun’s new deskmate, who happened to overhear her muttering, misunderstood and thought she was addressing him. Apologetically, he asked, “What capital were you referring to, Jiang Chun? I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch what you said.”

As Jiang Chun looked up, the cunning glint in her eyes had vanished, replaced by a genuine smile. Her tone was filled with admiration as she responded, “I was actually saying that you will undoubtedly get into the top university in the capital. Even before I transferred here, I had heard about you being the highest-achieving student in Class 1.1 truly envy your impressive academic performance.”

Jiang Chun’s new deskmate, despite being among the top three students in the cohort, had a formidable and intense appearance.

Many of the girls in the class held a certain level of fear towards him. He had never been particularly close to the opposite sex, but seeing the school beauty looking at him with admiration caused a shift in his perception of Jiang Chun. She transformed from being a mere decorative presence to a captivating goddess in his eyes. Feeling a bit flustered, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “It’s not as impressive as you think. If there’s anything you’re unsure of in the future, don’t hesitate to ask me.”

Jiang Chun expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you so much! I’ll definitely rely on you in the future!”

Her new deskmate quickly shook their head and replied, “No trouble at all! Don’t worry about it!”

Wen Nian decided not to delve deeper into the reasons behind Jiang Chun’s transfer. For her, focusing on her studies was of utmost importance at the moment. The first monthly examination for the third year of high school had begun a month ago.

In the third year of high school, everything received special attention, including the grading of papers. With over 600 papers to be marked, the results of the subjects taken that day would be announced on the second day. On the third day, the overall results and rankings of all the students would be calculated.

However, the results of everyone’s monthly exams were only announced within their respective classes. Only the midterm and final exam results of the top 100 scores were posted on the promotional board downstairs for everyone to see.

During the morning reading class, Li Fang walked into the class with the monthly test results.

When the students saw Li Fang walk up to the podium, they automatically fell silent. The monthly exam for the third year of high school was actually an exam that mimicked the questions set by the college entrance examination. Therefore, this was the first time everyone had systematically tested the questions for the third year of high school. They were a little curious about their examination standards compared to the other students.

Li Fang maintained a serious expression as she scanned the room. After observing everyone, she spoke, “The test papers for this exam were prepared by the subject teachers, utilizing the college entrance examination questions that have historically had the highest frequency over the past three years. These questions are considered classic and highly challenging, testing everyone’s foundational knowledge. It’s worth noting that some individuals have shown significant regression in their performance, while others have made remarkable improvements.”

Li Fang’s gaze settled on Wen Nian, and her expression softened. “This time, 1 would like to commend Wen Nian. In her previous performance, Wen Nian reached around the 600th place. However, this time, she has achieved an impressive ranking of 92nd in the cohort..”
