Chapter 528: 528

Studying was not a monotonous task for Yue Qingqing.

The eldest senior brother had once said,

"The sea of learning is boundless; students are like sailing a flat boat in the vast ocean."

All around lay unknown islands and treasures, with every journey being an adventure.

Yue Qingqing didn’t feel this romance, but learning new and novel knowledge in this world was definitely not a burden.

She often admired the mortals of this world.

Without innate root bones or gifts, yet they could create airplanes and even rockets, reaching further places than cultivators of her previous life could explore.

This was the power of science.

It was even more admirable to Yue Qingqing than the path of cultivation.

Before this, due to her talents, Yue Qingqing indeed didn’t need to exert much effort in her studies.

In some way, it was quite advantageous for her.

But this remedial class made Yue Qingqing realize that she was not the only gifted one.

Even though Qian Wentao was ostentatious, during the classes Yue Qingqing could feel how formidable he was.

Especially in mathematics, almost as soon as the teacher wrote down a problem, Qian Wentao could already have the answer.

And this gift was something Yue Qingqing lacked.

Normally, during classes, Yue Qingqing couldn’t help but think about this.

After school, Qu Ruorui comforted her, "Qingqing, you are already excellent. Qian Wentao can’t compete with you in other subjects."

Yue Qingqing worriedly said, "But it’s difficult to gain a significant advantage in other subjects, and mathematics is the easiest subject to lose points in."

The mid-term exams consisted of five academic subjects plus one physical education test.

Yue Qingqing wasn’t worried about the other subjects, but mathematics was particularly troublesome for her.

Especially in the past two weeks of remedial classes, as mathematics became increasingly difficult, Yue Qingqing sometimes felt overwhelmed.

Wei Rong comforted her, "Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Why must you insist on being the first?"

Qu Ruorui sighed and told Wei Rong about the bet their homeroom teacher had made with the other side.

Wei Rong was speechless and only spoke after a long while.

"I hadn’t expected this twist. It seems our Qingqing must win for both the teacher and the school’s honor, right?"

Yue Qingqing pursed her lips and said nothing.

Qu Ruorui hugged Yue Qingqing’s arm, understanding her feelings.

Although Qingqing seemed soft and gentle outwardly, she was actually tough on the inside.

Whenever she promised someone something, she was determined to follow through, never giving up halfway or admitting defeat.

It’s just a pity that her grades in the entire remedial class weren’t that great, so she couldn’t really help much.

Wei Rong nudged the unusually silent Jun Feifei with her elbow.

"Hey? Why don’t you talk to your childhood friend and tell Zhuang Lan to work harder? He’s been the perpetual second for so long, shouldn’t he strive to be first for once?"

Don’t let Qingqing shoulder such a huge pressure alone.

Jun Feifei was distracted and kicked a small stone away.

"Don’t mention it. Zhuang Lan is under so much pressure now. Yesterday, I heard his mom say he didn’t go to bed until after two in the morning."

"Two in the morning?"

The kids were all shocked; that was studying too late into the night.

Yue Qingqing shook her head, "No wonder he looked off in class today, but if doing this affects his daytime lessons, wouldn’t that be counterproductive?"

Jun Feifei’s mood was down, "But who can convince him? He’s probably quite affected. He used to be second, and now he can’t even maintain that position."

Thinking of Zhuang Lan’s sometimes obstinate nature, Yue Qingqing also felt helpless.

She hadn’t expected that they would be under such pressure near the end of junior high.

If the competition was this fierce within the city, what about the whole of Linguang Province?

And thinking further afield, what about when it came to the national college entrance exams?

Yue Qingqing felt a headache coming on just thinking about it, wondering how Jiang Jingze managed to fight his way into Minghua University.

With that thought, Yue Qingqing suddenly decided to give him a call.
