Gu Mingxi, you’re rebelling?! You actually dared to kick me?!

Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi started their second year of junior high.

The schoolwork gradually increased because of the addition of physics and chemistry. Gu Mingxi seemed like he was born to learn. When he studied, he did it with ease. After each exam, he would be 1st in the grade. Xie Yi’s performance went up and down, his rank unstable.

Xie Yi didn’t perform well on the midterm. Teacher Cao even sought him out to talk about it.

Xie Yi returned to the classroom as if nothing were wrong. He still called for a few kids to go and play. Pang Qian was a bit worried about him, and unwittingly linked arms with Sun Mingfang and followed them out.

When they were walking down the stairs together, Pang Qian put on a light tone and asked him, “Xie Yi, what did Teacher Cao say to you?”

“Nothing much. She just scolded me for doing so poorly on the exam.” He kept bouncing the ping pong ball against his paddle. He smiled and said to Pang Qian, “Actually, scoring 9th in the whole grade isn’t bad. Being 1st or 2nd right now doesn’t mean much. As long as I test into First High next year, it’s okay.”

Although First High wasn’t the best of the upper tier high schools, it was still ranked. Xie Yi had his sights set on it because it had the best gymnasium, equipped with the highest end, most professional ping pong table. The city’s student ping pong tournaments were also held there.

Xie Yi told Pang Qian this reason, and Pang Qian stared at him blankly, thinking he was so cool.

Hearing Xie Yi’s answer, she looked at him admiringly, then asked, “Can you guarantee that you’ll be able to test into First High?”

“Pretty much,” Xie Yi grinned, his voice full of confidence.

Xie Yi had already grown a lot taller at that time. Just like Gu Mingxi said, spring was the time to grow. His bones grew taller, his muscles firmed. Xie Yi had long, slender limbs. His hands had even gotten bigger, not as tender and white as when he started junior high. It looked more like a man’s hand. Probably because he played violin, his fingers were especially pretty. When they moved, they were so agile and graceful, not at all stiff and rough like the other boys’.

Pang Qian lifted her head slightly to look at him, and felt that he was becoming more and more handsome.

Since they’d just taken their midterms, no one was willing to stay in the classroom during the free activities period. The ping pong tables were full, and Xie Yi had to talk to some people before he was able to get one. He pushed up his sleeves and quickly started battling with someone.

There was a railing next to the ping pong tables. Pang Qian and Sun Mingfang leaned against the railing, whispering. They were facing the ping pong tables, but they also faced the school building.

While Pang Qian was talking, she casually lifted her head up and looked towards the window to her classroom. Suddenly, she saw a silhouette by the window, and Gu Mingxi’s face flashed by and disappeared.

“Coward,” Pang Qian said quietly to herself. Sun Mingfang asked, “What did you say?”

“Nothing,” Pang Qian immediately shook her head. Then her attention shifted back to Xie Yi, battling at the ping pong table.
