Zhang Yu didn’t know why Zhang Hao was at it with Zhang Dong so early in the morning over a few pimples.
Right now, she was looking for her classroom, getting ready for the upcoming placent test.
This sumr, although Lu Jiajia also studied hard, she saw the serious expressions on her classmates’ faces and the thick glasses they wore.
"What if our placent test scores aren’t good..." Lu Jiajia barely made it, just crossing the admission line by one point.
"If we don’t do well, it’s okay. Our scores entering First High weren’t that great either; we were near the bottom."
Zhang Yu comforted Lu Jiajia, "Look at our original rankings, as long as our placent test scores are better than before, that’s all we need."
"I think that’ll do it." Zhang Yu knew that for Lu Jiajia, getting into a top university in the country ant staying and studying locally.
If she couldn’t get into a top university, there was a backup plan to study abroad directly.
Lu Jiajia felt comforted by Zhang Yu’s words, "It’s a sha we can’t be desk mates."
Lu Jiajia knew that even if her scores weren’t good, she had options and wouldn’t be left without a school.
Zhang Yu was different; she needed to work very hard to get into a top university, "Keep going, I know you can do it."
Upon finding the classroom, Zhang Yu quickly sat down, took a sip of water, and waited for the test to begin.
The placent test was just for today, from morning to afternoon, including four exams, two in the morning and two in the afternoon.
Despite being a veteran of many battles, Zhang Yu was dizzy by the ti she left First High.
"So tired." Lu Jiajia felt that today was even more exhausting than running.
"Many people cried after leaving the exam room, and so even threw up." Lu Jiajia looked worriedly at Zhang Yu.
"I’m okay." Zhang Yu said it wasn’t a big deal, "How about you?"
The two of them got on the bus to go back, and instead of discussing the exam content, they talked about the military training starting the next day.
"Hope we can get through it." Lu Jiajia almost fainted at the thought of standing in the military posture under the blazing sun.
"Oh, and don’t buy sunscreen, my mom got several bottles." Lu Jiajia knew Liang Yan definitely wouldn’t prepare these for Zhang Yu.
"Thanks." Zhang Yu didn’t stand on ceremony with Lu Jiajia, "After military training, I’ll co over to your place and cook sothing delicious."
Knowing the chubby girl loved to eat, otherwise, she wouldn’t have beco a little fatty, "But you can’t eat too much, or you’ll gain weight and have to lose it again."
Lu Jiajia shivered at the thought of her previous weight-loss days, "I won’t be greedy, I definitely won’t be greedy."
To think it took over an hour of running just for a little food, really exhausting.
Liang Yan thought there wouldn’t be much going on today since it’s the reporting day at school, so she prepped the ingredients, waiting for Zhang Yu to co back to cook.
Unexpectedly, it was past five when Zhang Yu returned, "Oh, you still know to co back, huh."
Liang Yan glared at Zhang Yu, her words were anything but polite.
"There was a placent test today, two exams in the morning and two in the afternoon."
Zhang Yu spoke calmly. "After military training, we’ll be regrouped by the placent test results."
Zhang Yu walked over to the fridge, took out a bottle of water, and drank it.
Having a placent test right on the reporting day, with four exams in a day, Zhang Hao was trembling as he spoke, "That’s really harsh."
Zhang Yu nodded, "Otherwise, it wouldn’t be First High."
"But why four exams?" Zhang Hao didn’t understand; Math, Chinese, and English were surely in, but what else?
"Morning was Math and Chinese, afternoon was English and Science Comprehensive."
Zhang Dong knew First High had this tradition, and he didn’t ntion it before because Zhang Yu had been reading and practicing questions all sumr, so the placent test shouldn’t be too difficult for her.
"How did you do on the tests?" He actually wanted to ask if she could get into the rocket class, but thought better of it.
Even though a good candidate was poached by a private high school, First High’s reputation was there, and many stayed—truly a place gathering top students.
"Not bad, at least it shouldn’t lower my entry ranking to First High." Zhang Yu estimated she had a chance at getting into the rocket class.
It was just barely making it into the rocket class, but compared to her scores from the middle school entrance exam, being able to enter the rocket class was absolutely an achievent at First High.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao burst into laughter, "No way, weren’t you taking online courses all sumr?"
"Were you faking it?" Hmph, this girl wasn’t that great either, also one to put on airs.
Zhang Yu gave him a glance, and he imdiately thought back to his outings over the sumr and clamd up.
"Anyway, I’m not counting on you." Liang Yan snorted coldly, "I’m truly unlucky, having to cook dinner after work."
Zhang Yu pretended not to hear, turned around, and went to her little cubicle, turned on the fan, and began reviewing the day’s exams.
No doubt about it, First High has a great reputation, with many students getting into Q University and B University every year. The four exam papers didn’t look hard, but once started, you knew they were challenging.
Especially Math and the three-sciences comprehensive, with large volus and difficulty.
Even at Zhang Yu’s speed of reviewing questions, quickly coming up with solutions, she was working from start to finish, almost not completing them.
Usually, she could double-check for overlooked areas, but today there was no ti for that.
The exhaustion was mainly from the last exam, but Zhang Yu liked this kind of paper.
A difficult test can better distinguish everyone’s middle ground and actually reflect everyone’s true level.
Even if she didn’t know everyone’s capabilities, just from the science comprehensive paper, she was sure there wasn’t much of a surprise that she’d get into the rocket class.
If the placent test was a ntal blow to new high schoolers, then military training was a huge physical blow to everyone.
Tiring, truly tiring. Zhang Yu had thought military training would be tough, but since she’d been working out all sumr, she thought she could endure it.
In the end, it completely confused her, and she truly relied on sheer willpower to make it through.
One sumr, Lu Jiajia had a comprehensive managent plan from exercise to diet, losing more than 20 pounds.
In two weeks of military training, her weight dropped directly by over 10 pounds, and now Lu Jiajia’s waistline was visible.
Old classmates from middle school would definitely not recognize her, as the change was so extre.
Delighted to have lost weight, Lu Jiajia said, "I just want to have a big al now."
"Today I must feast, starting tomorrow, I’ll maintain my current shape." Lu Jiajia was absolutely satisfied with her current physique.
Although slim was still a bit away, being called fat was definitely out of the question.
So the two didn’t go ho, heading straight for a buffet restaurant, where they ate to their heart’s content.
