A minute later, the class bell rang on time, and the homeroom teacher walked into the classroom with the math book, right at the moment class was supposed to start.
Speaking of the homeroom teacher, Mengmeng truly admired her punctuality; she always arrived with the bell, fearing to waste even a minute, and would extend the class by ten minutes when it was time to leave.
The other teachers’ lessons were forty-five minutes long, but hers were fifty-five minutes...
"Good morning, everyone. Did you all enjoy the one-week holiday?"
Mengmeng and her classmates replied loudly.
"The teacher is very happy too," the homeroom teacher said with a smile, then brought up a very serious issue, "But now, you all need to focus because we have a big event to take care of this year, don’t we?"
"We know... the college entrance exam is this year..."
As soon as these words were uttered, the previously enthusiastic voices in the class noticeably quieted down.
Every face bore a different expression: some were indifferent, some were nervous, and others had a blank look, almost as if they had just realized that the college entrance exam was scheduled for this year.
Meanwhile, Luo Mengmeng’s face wore a hint of solemnity and unease.
The reason for such an expression was her concern about whether she could score well because her current grades were four-fifths short of the requirement for Capital University.
"Since everyone is aware that we’re going to step onto the battlefield of the college entrance exam this year, we need to sharpen our knives before that," the homeroom teacher couldn’t help but cheer everyone up.
This time, there was not even a hint of a response from the class.
"Did you hear that? Sharpen your knives!" Gu Zhihan slightly turned his head and whispered softly in her ear.
Luo Mengmeng quickly whispered back her assurance, "I have been studying hard!"
She was terrified that if she didn’t get into a good university, Gu Zhihan, in a fit of caprice, might follow her to a mediocre one, so she truly studied as diligently as possible.
"Good girl," Gu Zhihan’s hand reached under the table and gave her small hand a squeeze.
Luo Mengmeng immediately reciprocated by squeezing his hand in return.
Nobody in the class, including the homeroom teacher who was lecturing passionately at the podium, knew that the two of them were holding hands at that moment.
The sweet scent of their romance fermenting silently.
The time in senior year was incredibly tight; first, there was a rush to finish the semester’s textbook content, followed immediately by revision.
When the last three months arrived, it was time for the Oath Taking Ceremony.
To put it simply, the Oath Taking Ceremony was a ritual organized by the school to impress upon everyone the importance of the dwindling time they had left and to struggle for their goals with all their might.
One week before the Oath Taking Ceremony, the homeroom teacher brought a sheet of A4 paper printed with a full oath for everyone.
"Class president, come over and distribute this to everyone."
Gu Zhihan responded and got up.
When he handed the paper to Luo Mengmeng, she took it curiously and asked, "What’s this?"
Gu Zhihan quickly explained, "It’s the oath for the Oath Taking Ceremony."
After saying this, he continued to distribute the oath to other classmates.
"So much..." Luo Mengmeng glanced at the paper and almost fainted at the sight of the densely packed words.
It’s so long, how long will it take to memorize it!?
"It’s not just a lot; it’s ridiculously a lot!" Tong Mo couldn’t help but complain. After venting, she couldn’t resist asking the homeroom teacher, "Miss, please tell me we don’t have to memorize this entire sheet of paper?"
