Chapter 1208: Chapter 1209: The Love-Struck Brother’s Sister 51
Zhang Yu wasn’t very familiar with her junior high classmates, and just as she was about to close the chat interface, she noticed they were talking about Zhang Hao.
They said he had a new girlfriend, with all sorts of comnts, and even a photo of them kissing.
Zhang Yu clicked to look for a mont and confird it was them. “Ah, to be young is great.”
Zhang Yu noticed the clothes Chen Jiaojiao was wearing were definitely from a mall. She’d seen that coat before when she went shopping with Lu Jiajia.
At that ti, it was priced at three or four thousand, and now it should be discount season, though Zhang Yu didn’t know the current price.
Despite Liang Yan being hospitalized, her son Zhang Hao hadn’t bought anything to visit her, while Zhang Yu had at least bought two bouquets, bringing so life to the hospital room.
“Unwilling to buy anything for parents but willing to spend on a girlfriend.” She had a strong urge to send this picture for Liang Yan to see.
Show her that her precious son was out dating and spending money on a girl while she was recovering in the hospital.
On second thought, she figured it’d eventually backfire on herself, so she decided to just pretend she didn’t know.
Originally planning to save the picture, Zhang Yu reconsidered. If discovered later, it would just beco evidence against her.
Returning to the chat interface, she found that the conversation had already shifted to her.
Classmate A: Zhang Yu’s grades were already slipping in class back then, forced into First High, and ended up in the rocket class. Now, in the final exams, she ranked 25th in her year.
This news shocked many, and they all exclaid in disbelief.
Classmate A felt displeased seeing so people doubting it, so they directly tagged Zhang Yu and others from the class who got into First High, asking if they were aware.
Zhang Yu surely wouldn’t jump out to respond; back in junior high, she was never the talkative one in class.
Lu Jiajia eagerly jumped in upon seeing the news: Of course, Zhang Yu’s grades ranked 25th in the year.
Fearing they wouldn’t believe it, Lu Jiajia even went to the school’s internal site to take screenshots.
No matter how so argued that Zhang Yu couldn’t possibly achieve such high scores, in the face of Lu Jiajia’s screenshots, they could only remain silent.
This was all official news from First High, the most authoritative source.
No longer doubting the authenticity of the news, people were now focused on how Zhang Yu’s grades skyrocketed.
Especially those high school classmates whose grades were better than Zhang Yu’s in junior high were all curious.
Amongst them were a few who also got into First High and had seen the ssages in the group but chose not to join the conversation.
In junior high, their grades were better than Zhang Yu’s, but in high school, their grades were rcilessly overshadowed by her, which wasn’t exactly a joyous feeling.
But now, such feelings were secondary; all they wanted was to find out how Zhang Yu’s grades improved so dramatically.
Lu Jiajia: It’s simple. Do more practice questions, and take online courses.
She usually wouldn’t say this, as everyone hides tips, fearing soone might surpass them.
But now, she didn’t worry at all; even if they knew how Zhang Yu improved her grades, replicating her dramatic improvent was just a pipe dream.
Everyone saw what Lu Jiajia posted and didn’t take it seriously.
It’s not like they haven’t taken online courses themselves, acknowledging they help with improvent, but such a significant leap? Unthinkable.
As for practice questions, it seed a sensible suggestion, spurring further inquiries about which study guides to buy.
Lu Jiajia couldn’t be bothered to elaborate; she simply took pictures of all her workbooks: This is for the winter break.
People looked at the pile of books and felt overwheld.
After skimming through, soone felt that Lu Jiajia was just leading them on: Are you sure Zhang Yu completed all these exercises?
Classmate C: No way, those workbooks are so thick.
Lu Jiajia wasn’t in the mood to argue; she retorted, “Believe it if you want, there’s nothing I can do if you don’t.”
Lu Jiajia closed the chat interface and ssaged Zhang Yu directly.
Zhang Yu: Why bother with them? Even if what you said was true, they’d think you were hiding sothing, because they are too.
Zhang Yu: The entrance exams after the start of the sester — are you confident?
Lu Jiajia was initially looking to vent but was caught off guard when Zhang Yu posed this serious question.
She sighed: I did prepare, but I’m not really confident.
Recalling a piece of news: I just learned that so people went out of town for tutoring, claiming their math tutor is a legendary figure, one of the teachers who sets the college entrance exam papers.
Lu Jiajia: Not to ntion, students in his class have really good math scores.
Lu Jiajia knew Zhang Yu was good at science, especially math, consistently ranking first in the year for that subject, stable in all quizzes and exams.
She was truly worried that after their competitor’s whole winter of tutoring, their math skills would dramatically improve, and she wondered what Zhang Yu would do then.
Through the screen, Zhang Yu could sense Lu Jiajia’s anxiety: Don’t worry, if his math improves, that’s a good thing.
Zhang Yu: It’s pointless for to always be number one; I’d lose the motivation to improve.
Seeing Zhang Yu’s response, Lu Jiajia sighed in resignation: Sure, having no rivals is indeed lonely.
Zhang Yu could imagine the little girl’s frustrated expression: As he’s making progress, so am I.
Zhang Yu: Like you said, he attended a class with a very famous math teacher. Usually, that wouldn’t be a one-on-one treatnt.
For a famous teacher like that, with countless students lining up, how could anyone hope to secure a one-on-one slot? Even a one-to-four session would be a huge gain.
Zhang Yu: So-called famous teachers have a lot of students in their class, and you can only progress at the teacher’s pace. If you can keep up, that’s fine, but if not…
Zhang Yu hadn’t listened to that famous teacher’s classes, but she checked online and found out he was indeed an amazing teacher.
But so what? Expecting a huge leap in a single winter break is a pipe dream.
Zhang Yu: Let’s not focus on others. What we should do is try to improve our own grades.
Zhang Yu: As long as we can improve our grades, we’re making progress.
Alright, that was Zhang Yu’s way of answering. After a short conversation with Zhang Yu, Lu Jiajia logged off.
Though she kept saying she wasn’t confident, she hadn’t given up at all.
She had already made it to First High, and with a rank close to 130, even if she didn’t make the rocket class, it proved she wasn’t dumb.
Zhang Yu put down her phone and went to the living room to exercise. Staying cooped up in such a small space every day left her body stiff.
Liang Yan watched Zhang Yu working out, constantly pointing out, “You’re not doing that move properly.”
“Let tell you, you should do this move,” Liang Yan urged anxiously, almost wishing to jump in and replace Zhang Yu herself.
Zhang Yu simply turned a deaf ear and continued her routine.
