Starting next month, I’ll tutor you again.

He was showing off again!

Pang Qian was so angry that her teeth were itchy, and couldn’t wait to give his meal box back to him. “Gu Mingxi, would it kill you to praise me a little?!”

Gu Mingxi couldn’t see what praise Pang Qian deserved, so he blinked and said, “We can’t really say anything from the diagnostic test, so we’ll see when the midterms come around. Pang Pang, you have to try to make it into the top 150 of the year. That’s the only way you’ll have a chance at the top-tier universities.”

Truth be told, at the time, Pang Qian didn’t have much notion of the college entrance exams. She wasn’t like Gu Mingxi, who had Gu Guoxiang to explain all those things to her. She only knew the difference between a bachelor’s and associate’s degree. First High wasn’t the best high school either. Of the 440 students in the nine classes of the previous senior class, 120 got into a top-tier university. The majority of them were students in the advanced humanities classes. The next tier of schools admitted more than 150 of their students, and the third tier admitted more than 70 students. The remaining students could only continue on to get their associate degrees. There were even some whose scores were so low that they couldn’t even get into unranked universities.

In Pang Qian’s mind, anyone who could get into the four-year universities were amazing. Top 150 in the year? She didn’t even dare to imagine that.

She went to the cafeteria with Gu Mingxi to order and eat their lunch. Afterwards, she went to the sink to clean their meal boxes. Then the two of them returned to the school building. Pang Qian looked to the staircase on the left and said, “I’ll help you carry it to the fourth floor.”

“It’s okay, I can carry it on my own.” Gu Mingxi smiled at her. He shrugged his right shoulder and signaled for Pang Qian to place his meal box there.

Pang Qian felt a bit sad. For the entire, long day, she was only together with Gu Mingxi when they were eating. She would always chatter to him, and he would smile and listen. After lunch, they returned to their own classrooms and they didn’t even see each other when school ended.

There was no one there to review questions with her during self-study period anymore. Pang Qian really wasn’t used to it.

Gu Mingxi saw how downcast Pang Qian looked, so he asked, “Do you have practice today?”

Pang Qian shook her head, “No.”

Gu Mingxi said, “Then after school, let’s go to the Little Market to sit awhile. I’ll treat you to some food, and then we can go home after eating.”

Pang Qian stared at him, then her eyes bent and she smiled. She nodded, “Okay.”

And so the second year of high school started like this. Gu Mingxi was in the advanced class, assembled with the year’s best teachers and students. The pressure they had on their studies was very high. Spending the whole day writing made Gu Mingxi’s feet hurt, and he could barely straighten his back anymore. He couldn’t help thinking that if Pang Qian were left in this class, she’d probably get more and more unhappy.

Xiao Yujing sat next to Gu Mingxi, in the seat that used to be Pang Qian’s. Xiao Yujing didn’t speak much. She spent most of her time reading and working on practice problems. Every once in awhile, she’d take a break, cross her arms, and lie down on her desk. After zoning out a bit, she would nap a little.
