Compared to the impassioned classmates, Zhen Yu’s reaction was calm and even revealed a hint of nonchalance! She didn’t have the slightest dislike for Teacher Zhang’s extreme method of directly appointing class officers. Because in Zhen Yu’s memory, there was an Old Cao with a stern face! His autocratic way of doing things was much more thorough than Teacher Zhang’s! He was the type of person whose word was the law! Yet, all the students somehow respected him! But as for Teacher Zhang... Zhen Yu didn’t know what others thought, but she had quite a few complaints about him! She wasn’t a naive and innocent child who didn’t know the ways of the world; she easily noticed the different attitudes Teacher Zhang showed towards her. When introducing herself, he had actively added so much more on her behalf, and Zhen Yu thought he was a kind-hearted male teacher! But then, when he turned around and handed her over to Director Feng, he didn’t say a word more to her! Really, flipping faces was like flipping a book! Speaking of flipping books, he was really good at that. What does this imply? It implies that Teacher Zhang is quite realistic! Coldness seeps through his bones! And he is also profit-oriented! Such a personality isn’t necessarily wrong, but he really shouldn’t have chosen a profession like teaching! It’s so easy to mislead other people’s children... Just like that! On the first evening self-study session of high school, Zhen Yu directly squashed Han Mingyue’s hope of getting into the top class through hard work! She was even considering slipping down to the second class to spend the remaining two and a half years... Before her idea could take shape, the class ended, and Bai Xue suddenly rushed to her in a panic! "Zhen Yu! Zhen Yu guess who I just met?!" "There’s no need to be so panicked just because you met someone!" "Why not!? I saw our class teacher! Our class teacher!" Bai Xue excitedly jumped up and down in place. "You guess why he was here?!" Zhen Yu was about to say: "Are you out of your mind? It’s normal to run into the class teacher!" But for some reason, when the words were on the tip of her tongue, a thought suddenly struck her! So what Zhen Yu blurted out was, "Old Jiang?!" "Yes! Who else could it be! Hey, wait! Actually, there is someone else!" Bai Xue said incoherently, "Really, there is! Guess, guess who else!" Zhen Yu’s mind immediately conjured up an image of a severe-looking face! "Is it Old Cao?! Where is he!? They," A flash of insight, and Zhen Yu suddenly thought of the merging of the farms and various grade schools in town just before and after the Spring Festival! "Did they transfer to First High School?! It must be! Are they teaching the freshmen? Which class?!" "Hehehe..." Bai Xue laughed like she had found a treasure, "The tenth class, all in the tenth class! Ahahaha! I’m so happy!" She wasn’t happy at all! Does this mean she had to slip directly from the first class to the tenth class?! ...Hmm? It seems it’s not impossible... She should discuss it with Han Mingyue later! Oh right, she also needs to first find out the tenure period of the two teachers! It would be really foolish if she went down and they came up... After planning a meeting time with their middle school homeroom teachers, Zhen Yu felt a weight lifted off her shoulders as she returned to class. And the appointment of class leaders had just been announced! The very next day, recruitment for various special skill classes in the school was in full swing. Comparing the variety of special skill classes at First High School to the Affiliated School, they were certainly not to be outdone! During a long class break, the trio gathered to discuss meeting with Jiang Cao and which special skill classes to sign up for on Sunday. Bai Xue naturally didn’t sign up for anything! Han Mingyue’s summer guitar class he had enrolled in outside school had just ended with the start of the term! So, he decided to switch to the guitar class at school, which was both convenient and cost-saving! Zhen Yu immediately chose the calligraphy class! Although she was already being taught calligraphy privately by a master, she still needed an official cover! Han Mingyue naturally wanted to join her, but this time Zhen Yu didn’t agree! Her reasoning was simple and straightforward, "It’s the same if I teach you after I learn it well! Plus, it saves money!" Han Mingyue could only respond with a smile that seemed more sweet than bitter. Since the timing really couldn’t be worked out, Zhen Yu eventually gave up the vocal classes she had just completed a year of. Bai Xue felt it was quite a pity after hearing it, which led Zhen Yu to brainwash her again, "Full Moon wanes! Water overflows when full! What goes extreme will reverse! Too much of anything is bad! Keep these four sayings in mind! Know that in life, losses make way for gains, and slight imperfections make things just right. If you don’t know how to choose and try to learn everything to perfection, you’ll end up mediocre in all! None of your skills will surpass others!" Bai Xue nodded seemingly understanding, and wrote down the first four sayings in a notebook that evening. After reading and re-reading the eighteen characters in her notebook, Bai Xue summarized to herself, "Hmm!! I understand now! Xiao Yu must be afraid that I might want to learn everything upon seeing so many special classes! If my attention gets divided, then I won’t study guqin well! I must focus solely on loving the guqin! I must focus solely..." The special skill classes matter wasn’t over yet, as the city-level competitions held at the beginning of each academic year were up next, and registration had begun! Zhen Yu directly signed up for both hard pen and brush pen calligraphy competitions! She had already set her mind on achieving something in calligraphy! For the other competitions, including English, she decided not to register as she really didn’t have the extra energy! After some hesitation, Han Mingyue chose the physics competition. When Bai Xue unintentionally revealed this to Lu Huai, who also signed up for the physics competition, he confidently stated, "I can do it! I can win! I’m really a top student!" Bai Xue always just smiled at Lu Huai’s statements. In her view, students in class ten like her were all at the bottom! If Lu Huai were truly a top student, why would he be in the same class as her?! Even if he underperformed, he should have been in the top five classes at least... so, let boys boast if they like to boast! Anyways, she was understanding and wouldn’t burst his bubble in person! Hmm... nor behind his back! To avoid having him scolded by Zhen Yu again! Thus, a magnificent misunderstanding arose. The true underachiever Bai Xue, without any mental burden, treated the fake underachiever Lu Huai as a peer in misery, and even fretfully asked him, "You’re so good at sports! Why not take the path of a sports special admit student? Then you wouldn’t have to worry about your academic scores for the college entrance exam like me!" The often misunderstood Lu Huai looked utterly disheartened. "I’ve told you so many times! I’m good at studying! I’m a top student, a top student!" Bai Xue: "Heh!"
