Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Fooling Liu Ting

Luckily, later events occurred and Zhen Yu realized it was all a groundless worry.

But the self-protection awareness and the dressing habits formed over those years were still retained by her.

It wasn’t until she started learning martial arts that she gradually opened her mind.

Zhen Yu only briefly reminisced about the past and soon she returned to the living room as if nothing had happened.

Zhen Yan distractedly asked his sister, "Leaving already?"

"Yep."

"The middle school examination results will be out in a few days," Zhen Yan said, his tone unconsciously carrying a hint of anxiety.

"Relax," Zhen Yu replied calmly.

Zhen Yan exclaimed in frustration, "Ah!"

There’s no comfort to be found! His sister won’t offer even a little consolation!

After the conversation between the two ended, Han Mingyue said, "The award ceremony is on the 6th."

Zhen Yu looked up, "Aren’t you not going?"

"Yeah. But Mr. Fang said, certificates and copies of the award-winning essays will be distributed onsite, and for those not attending, they’ll be mailed out in advance."

"They should be arriving soon then." Zhen Yu said, somewhat expectantly.

Although she had submitted her essay along with Han Mingyue, they hadn’t seen each other’s work due to their agreement of ’not looking unless published’.

Han Mingyue nodded, "I think so too. Call me on the day you guys are taking photos; I’ll ask around at school."

"Okay."

——

A week later, the class monitor of Zhen Yan’s class came to their house.

"Zhen Yan! Tomorrow at nine, wear your school uniform for the graduation photo and bring your admission notice," the boy announced, standing in the courtyard.

"Got it! Come in and hang out for a bit!" Zhen Yan, being an average student, wasn’t close with the monitor who was a top student.

But visitors are guests, so Zhen Yan had to invite him out of courtesy.

The boy firmly declined, "I can’t! I still need to inform the other classmates!"

"Alright then!" Zhen Yan saw him out, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Although Zhen Yan didn’t know the boy well, anyone showing up at this time was definitely here to inform.

There was no alternative, not every household in the town had a landline, at least Zhen Yan’s didn’t.

So whenever there was a school matter, teachers would inform the class monitors, who would then pass the message to other students.

Upon returning to her room, Zhen Yu asked, "Tomorrow?"

"Yeah!" Zhen Yan nodded, looking forward to it, "Tomorrow!"

Which student doesn’t aspire to get into a good school? Self-awareness is one thing, but who doesn’t harbor unrealistic dreams?

After visiting the Qi City No.1 High School, Zhen Yan fell in love with it almost immediately.

There was a huge soccer field! Aside from an outdoor basketball court, Grandpa Wang said there was also an indoor one! Such a big playground! There were lots of sports equipment too, and it was so close to master’s Martial Arts Hall!

He just couldn’t wait for high school to start tomorrow!

——

The next day, Han Jiayang and Fu Yu also went to the school, saying they wanted to see Zhen Yan’s graduation photo.

Zhen Yu had no comment on this; the three of them were good friends, and they were free to come if they wanted.

As soon as Han Mingyue arrived at the school, she went to find Mr. Fang in his office while Zhen Yu waited at the school gate for Qian Duoduo and Liu Ting, whom she had personally notified yesterday afternoon.

Speaking of this, Zhen Yu was almost in tears.

She casually mentioned it that day, completely forgetting how troublesome it was to notify someone in the 90s!

It was a lingering effect from the smartphone era that made her think reflexively.

Yesterday, while walking to their houses, she regretted not taking pictures with them directly in the town center that day.

When the three of them walked hand in hand to the playground, Zhen Yan’s class had already started taking photos, and another class was lining up waiting.

"Look here! Everyone, say together, ’Egg...plant’!"

Click—

Click—

To avoid anyone blinking, the photographer snapped two photos in succession.

"That’s it! Next class, come on over!"

The students from Class Two started positioning themselves while Zhen Yan’s class was led back to the classroom by Teacher Jiang, no need to guess, they went to distribute admission notices.

Han Jiayang and Fu Yu ran off somewhere to play, so the three girls sat in a row on the edge of the cement platform where the flag was raised, waiting for the photographer to finish shooting the group photo.

—

After lining up for a while, it was finally their turn.

"Where should we take the photo?" The photographer, making money by the minute, came over and asked.

Without thinking, Zhen Yu said, "Just here!"

"Okay! Standing or sitting?"

Qian Duoduo jumped down from the platform and straightened her skirt, "Standing!"

Zhen Yu and Liu Ting had no objections, the three roughly the same height, simply stood with Zhen Yu in the middle and took the photo together.

Develop three copies; it wasn’t much money, Zhen Yu paid.

"It’s my turn to treat you."

Both girls smiled, "Okay."

—

"Tell me! We’re not in the same class anymore, can we still be as close?" Liu Ting anxiously said.

Zhen Yu thought they couldn’t, but didn’t want to say it outright, so she diverted the topic: "We’re still at the same school."

But when Liu Ting thought about Zhen Yu being a grade higher than her, she pressed, "What if we’re not in the same school?"

Zhen Yu hearing Liu Ting’s words started thinking a bit too far, clearly not on the same wavelength. "...I’m applying to Qi City No.1 High School, you should too!"

"Pfft!" Qian Duoduo burst out laughing because she realized the two were talking past each other.

But she added fuel to the fire, "I’m also applying to Qi City No.1 High School!"

After twisting the knife, she also winked at Liu Ting.

Liu Ting understood then, and pretended to be furious, throwing her head back in a loud howl: "Ah! You two top students ganging up to bully me!"

Zhen Yu with a smile in her eyes said, "Just try a bit harder! You can do it!"

"Can I really?" Liu Ting asked dubiously, lacking confidence.

Zhen Yu and Qian Duoduo nodded simultaneously, Qian Duoduo sincerely said, "You’re always hovering near the top ten, you just need to move up a few places, and you can make it!"

Hearing this, it sort of made sense! But why did Liu Ting still feel something was off?

But the duo of top students wouldn’t give her a chance to think it through!

Qian Duoduo’s motivational speech poured forth like it was free, and Zhen Yu’s ability to divert the topic was ridiculously strong.

When the three said goodbye, Liu Ting was already fired up, planning to spend the entire summer vacation holed up at home studying hard!

—

Han Mingyue had returned earlier, holding a large envelope, standing not too far away, listening to the three girls chat.

After Qian Duoduo and Liu Ting left, he approached with a smile, pulling out a collection of essays from the envelope, "For you!"

Zhen Yu grabbed it without any hesitation; after all, it was agreed that all Han Mingyue’s sample publications and books would be hers, and vice versa.

So why should she be polite? This was an equivalent exchange between two people!

Opening the book, Zhen Yu first checked the contents page, and the first line was for the grand prize.

At a glance, Zhen Yu almost popped her eyes out! This article! This pen name!

Damn! Damn damn damn!
