Pang Pang, I’m going to be moving soon.

In all of Pang Qian’s memories, she had never ranked last in her class. The worst point she’d ever gotten to was that midterm exam in junior high, when she was 41st.

During the class break, she put on a thick face and went to Class 8 to see Xie Yi. She asked him about Class 8’s test scores. Miserably, she found out that if she were in Class 8, she would have been ranked in the last 8 or 9.

Even though, in both cases, it was still the bottom of the class, being 9th from the bottom and being last were just different!

After school, Pang Qian stood at the bulletin board in the middle of the campus, staring at a bulletin that was posted several months ago, the color already a bit faded from the sun. She stared at the red college examination results, muttering to herself.

Gu Mingxi stood next to her and looked for awhile. Not understanding her intention, he asked, “Pang Pang, what are you doing?”

“Be quiet! I’m going to forget how many I counted!” Pang Qian said, irritated. She continued whispering for awhile. Then she asked Gu Mingxi, “Look, this bulletin lists all the students from the last year that got into university, right?”

Gu Mingxi looked at the tiny black print on the red bulletin. He nodded, “Yeah, even for the junior colleges.”

“Then I’m doomed.” Pang Qian deflated. She said, “Suppose that the last graduating year had eight classes. Each class has 50 students, which means there are 400 students total. But this list only has 376 people!”

Gu Mingxi’s lips twitched as he looked at her. Pang Qian covered her face with her hands. “Who said that getting into a top high school guarantees that you get into university?! Gu Mingxi, it seems like I won’t be able to get into university in the future!”

“How can that be,” Gu Mingxi comforted her. “This was just a diagnostic assessment. Did you not study at all over summer break?”

Pang Qian looked at him as he was a monster, “You studied over summer break?”

“I did practice math problems and memorized English.” Gu Mingxi sighed. “If you didn’t study or practice, then it’s to be expected that you would do poorly on the diagnostic assessment. Don’t worry, when lessons start, you’ll catch back up. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll explain it.”

Hearing this, Pang Qian felt slightly better. She sat next to Gu Mingxi, she lived next door to Gu Mingxi. It was like having a free tutor. If she ran into something she didn’t understand, she didn’t have to worry at all.

When Pang Qian returned home, she handed her test results to Pang Shuisheng, who actually felt that his daughter hadn’t performed that poorly. He figured that the students at a top school would all be very exceptional. Their exams would definitely be harder than at a general school, so the fact that Pang Qian scored more than 70 or 80 points already gave him great satisfaction.

Pang Qian, of course, didn’t tell her father what her class ranking was after the exam. The evening of the parent-teacher meeting, she slipped out and went over to Gu Mingxi’s house, waiting anxiously for Pang Shuisheng to return.

She pestered and rambled at Gu Mingxi until Li Han opened the door to their house, her voice drifting in from the living room.

Pang Qian’s face paled in that instant. She sprawled onto Gu Mingxi’s bed, burying her head in his pillow, pretending to be dead. “Gu Mingxi, farewell.”
