When Qin Xiangnuan went to register, it was Jian Zhiqing who accompanied her. She really wanted to ask, in what capacity he was there, but she didn’t ask in the end. However, with Jian Zhiqing’s help, the process was indeed simple and was quickly taken care of. The textbooks were also obtained with ease. It was a good thing Jian Zhiqing came; otherwise, if she had been alone, not knowing anything, just running these procedures, it’s unclear how long it would have taken.
The majority of high school students reside on campus, because there might be evening self-study sessions, but Qin Xiangnuan didn’t need to. She had to sell pancakes in the morning and cook lunch when she returned at noon. Moreover, she had plenty of time and she would take her revisions to the system. Residing on campus would actually be inconvenient for her.
Therefore, the interpersonal relationships among students were quite simple, after all, they were students who had not yet entered society, making it not difficult to get along. Plus, since she did not board at school, she did not face any of the typical dormitory conflicts.
Qin Xiangyang would sometimes call home, but he couldn’t easily leave his military school as it differed from an ordinary high school, with very strict requirements. Chun Xiangnuan understood this, so although the siblings didn’t see each other often, they kept in regular contact.
Actually, the curriculum in the first year of high school wasn’t too difficult. With enough time and understanding, adapting was quite simple.
If Qin Xiangnuan didn’t understand something, she would ask Jian Zhiqing, and then she would spend plenty of time in the system reviewing and preparing. Therefore, after the first exam, her grades weren’t bad. She ranked fifth in her class, which finally gave the homeroom teacher some peace of mind.
He had been worried that the student forcefully added to his class was not a good one and would drag the whole class down. However, the student had strong support and had also secured Mr. Jiang’s guarantee, so he could only take her in. But ever since this student enrolled, he had been unable to eat or sleep well. However, after interacting with her for a while, he discovered that she was a well-behaved student, serious about her studies and with a good temperament. She also did well in completing the homework assigned by teachers. Now, it all hinged on her test results.
As a result, the student really did well, even ranking fifth in her class. His class was filled with top students from various schools; they were among the best class collectives in the school. The top twenty students in the class should have no problem getting into university. So, he didn’t lose out at all by admitting this student.
As for Qin Xiangnuan, although she ranked fifth, she was not proud. Her English was a bit weak while her other subjects were good, especially Chinese because she had studied classical literature and had read countless books over the past centuries. Her other subjects were also decent, except for the rote memorization required for math and the sciences. Jian Zhiqing was knowledgeable in these areas; he was a good teacher who would explain the key points to her, and she would then try to understand them. If she didn’t understand, she would turn to Mr. Jian for help. So, these subjects were also manageable. It was only English that was her weak point, and for this, she really was powerless. Had it not been for English dragging her score down, she wouldn’t have ended up in fifth place—she could have likely made it into the top three without a problem. She was a stubborn person, so no matter what, she had to rank in the top three next time.
Jian Zhiqing said that he was powerless in this matter since his own English was average. However, he had a female classmate who had become an English teacher and was quite proficient in English.
Qin Xiangnuan’s heart inexplicably filled with an indescribable panic.
Could it be his former sweetheart?
