We’re not supposed to have classes today, but my brain’s still foggy from analyzing exam papers all day and then diving into supplentary stuff.
Zhang Yu thought there wouldn’t be any howork since there were no classes, but ended up receiving several exam papers.
"Hand them in by Friday." Staring at the six papers in hand, Zhang Yu was speechless. At first glance, they weren’t as hard as the mock exams, but not easy either.
And today is Wednesday, with classes resuming tomorrow and howork due then.
Zhang Yu took a deep breath. What to do? The task was truly daunting.
No choice but to aim to finish the most difficult subject today, everything else would have to be done eventually.
eting up with Lu Jiajia afterwards, she expressed her displeasure, "They’re making do exam papers, six of them."
Zhang Yu thought such treatnt was reserved for the rocket class but surprised to see it applied to everyone.
"At least we can say we’re still on the sa starting line. But once school officially starts, you guys will speed up the lessons."
Lu Jiajia was troubled, "Soon I won’t be able to catch up with you."
There was already a gap between them, and now, the gap would only widen. Will they still be able to be together in the future?
"No, my mom can study with , we’ll keep striving."
Zhang Yu glanced around and whispered, "I plan to take the college entrance exam in my junior year."
Such a big matter needed to be disclosed, especially since she had a good relationship with Lu Jiajia.
College entrance exam in junior year? Is that possible? "Isn’t it supposed to be senior year?"
"The Youth Class at the University of Science... " Zhang Yu murmured, "I plan to give it a shot in junior year."
"I heard so folks have been considering whether it’s feasible for excellent students to take the exam in junior year."
"Of course, I don’t know the specifics." It seed approved—one could take the exam in junior year, although it might cost so money.
Junior year and already taking the exam, Lu Jiajia responded to the news, "You’re planning to take the exam in junior year?"
Knowing Zhang Yu was smart, yet it’s unheard of to take the exam a year earlier. That extra year for review really makes a difference to scores.
"Couldn’t you wait and do more reviews for a year, you’ll then have the confidence to get into a better university." Lu Jiajia felt Zhang Yu could truly take her ti and shouldn’t rush.
Zhang Yu knew Lu Jiajia was genuinely thinking about her, "If possible, I wouldn’t want to."
"I could wait a year and might have a shot at Q University and B University, but I can’t wait."
In her past life during the college entrance exam, Zhang Hao went out of his way to sabotage her results.
Zhang Yu was unsure if Zhang Hao would act similarly this ti, as they weren’t in the sa school.
She was genuinely uncertain and dared not gamble. Given that, it was better to leave early.
"I’d rather leave sooner; even if future days might be hard, at least I’d have freedom."
"Plus, living outside, I wouldn’t feel constrained." Everyone disliked dorm life and felt suffocated living there.
A small room housing four people, but to her, was there a difference from her tiny compartnt at ho and the school dorm?
Lu Jiajia knew Zhang Yu wasn’t fond of her family, but was surprised to hear her say this.
"There’s so stuff I can’t talk about now, but when I get admitted to college, I’ll tell you." Once out of the Zhang Family, so things wouldn’t need to be hidden anymore.
Upon reaching ho, Zhang Yu found Zhang Dong and the others waiting for her.
Even when out playing, Zhang Hao wondered which class Zhang Yu would be assigned to.
Zhang Dong was restless today, pondering over which class Zhang Yu would be placed in.
"I’ve been placed in Class 1." Knowing what they wanted to hear, Zhang Yu dropped a bombshell before they even spoke.
What? Placed in Class 1? The three were stunned by the bombshell Zhang Yu threw at them.
Zhang Dong had been wishing for Zhang Yu to get into the rocket class, but that was truly just wishful thinking; he thought even getting in by the skin of her teeth was impossible.
What was unexpected was that Zhang Yu entered the rocket class and it was Class 1, "You, your mock exam was really good?"
Good grief, entering the rocket class, and Class 1 at that. What’s the implication? As long as Zhang Yu stayed in Class 1, no worries for college entrance exams.
Liang Yan and Zhang Hao’s complexion turned ugly upon hearing Zhang Yu achieved such excellent results.
Liang Yan felt dumbfounded, watching Zhang Dong praise Zhang Yu’s exam results, thinking this man was truly an utter fool.
"Little Yu, how did you do so well in the mock exams when your middle school entrance scores were quite poor?"
Zhang Hao didn’t think of this at all; his thought was, how is Zhang Yu still thriving after getting into First High?
Liang Yan’s words opened his mind, "Yeah, if your mock exams were so good, why your middle school entrance scores?"
Liang Yan and Zhang Hao’s words made Zhang Dong, who was happy for Zhang Yu’s entry into the rocket class, beco suspicious.
"How would I know why your middle school entrance exam was so weak?" Zhang Yu wasn’t worried; she knew this news would surely bring suspicion.
"Weren’t you attending tutoring classes, said your scores were improving, said there was no problem getting into high school."
Tsk, they actually thought it was her fault, "And I’m not a prophet; how would I know that the private high school would change principals?"
"I wouldn’t even know he would poach students."
"If I knew scoring a bit higher could get two hundred thousand, I’d surely strive for it; after all, it’s two hundred thousand."
"Even if I had to sleep on the floor of a cloakroom, I’d have to go." Zhang Yu retorted bluntly.
"Instead of focusing on how I’m doing, why don’t you put in more effort? Private schools have scholarship clauses; ranking in the top fifty at the end of the year gets scholarships."
"Zhang Hao, didn’t you say you were smart and spent the sumr earnestly reading? I think there’s no problem with getting top fifty at the end of the term."
"Put in so effort, aim for top forty, put in more effort, aim for top thirty."
"You say reaching top thirty already, put in just a bit more, aim for top twenty."
"Zhang Hao, you say already in the top twenty, not far from top ten."
"Bro, I know private schools offer substantial rewards for top ten." Zhang Yu kept encouraging.
Never expected Zhang Yu to counterattack like this, top ten? Does he have that capability? Really wanted to curse; even at a private school, entering top ten is no easy feat.
Not to ntion top ten, even top thirty was difficult since this ti private schools really poached quite a few.
"Why don’t you go then." Liang Yan’s eyes lit up, "If you’d transfer to a private high school..."
Couldn’t even imagine how much scholarship could be earned over three years, and Liang Yan was surely tempted.
Zhang Yu smiled brightly at Liang Yan, then spoke after a while, "Dad, what do you think?"
