Chapter 375: Straightforward Zhusheng, Coquettish Xixi

The next day, the school sports meeting of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School continued in full swing.

In the morning, Yan Zhusheng successfully won the championship medals in the 100m and 200m finals.

When she sprinted to the finish line, the students in Class 8 of Grade 2 stood up and cheered. When Yan Zhusheng came back with the gold medal, they also applauded warmly to welcome the sprint queen of Class 8.

However, also in the morning, a secret sharing session was quietly launched online.

【Throw yourself into Sister Jiang’s arms! 】

[Ren Zheng]: Did you watch "The Age of Literature and Art" last night?
[Jiang Liuxian]: I haven’t had time to see it yet, what’s wrong?

[Hua Xiu Xiu]: It’s hard to put it into words.

[Zhang Guohuang]: I feel that it is not as good as the one written by Class Monitor. I mean the plot. I feel that the pretentiousness is not good enough.

[Zhu Yufei]: Is that the point? I was watching her drive the whole time!
[Hua Xiu Xiu]: In terms of writing style, it is really very good. At least it is much better than Class Monitor's. Class Monitor's book is basically written in plain language, with very few excellent words.

[Hua Xiu Xiu]: This book "Literary Age" is different, really different. I have also read some other online articles, but the writing style of this book gives people a very comfortable feeling. It is definitely written by a very talented person.

[Ren Zheng]: Stop analyzing this. Isn’t the focus the borderline content?

[Zhu Yufei]: I think I need to re-learn the idiom dictionary.

[Zhang Guohuang]: Holy shit! Now that you mention this, it really comes to my mind. The welcoming party really made me confused!

[Hua Xiuxiu]: Shut up! Don’t say it!

[Lin Yuan]: What do you mean? What's wrong with lining up to welcome you?
[Zhu Yufei]: Hehe.

【Zhang Guohuang】: Hehe.

[Ren Zheng]: You boys are so disgusting, please stop talking about this in the group.

[Fang Chen]: Indeed, please be more normal and don’t ruin the reputation of us boys.

[Zhang Guohuang]: Damn! This is what Senior Xu wrote herself! I’m just repeating it.

[Ren Zheng]: I am now doubting whether our guess is correct! Would a senior really write something like this?

[Zhu Yufei]: What's wrong?
[Zhang Guohuang]: I felt it was okay. You may not know, but Chen Zhongqi had read a romance novel before and later lent it to Shi Yanran. I took a look at it out of curiosity and it was so exciting!

[Chen Zhongqi]: Shut up!
[Shi Yanran]: Who told you to peek...

[Zhang Guohuang]: The point is not this, okay? The point is that novels written by girls are indeed very obscure. I think it is normal for a senior student to write such things.

[Zhu Yufei]: Okay, okay, no matter whether it was written by a senior or not, I think it’s pretty good anyway. I’ll slowly read it over time and then I’ll say more.

The first round of discussions is over.

By the time it was almost time for lunch, the group became lively again.

[Ren Zheng]: I take back what I said before. I feel that "The Age of Literature and Art" may indeed have been written by Senior Sister Xu...

[Hua Xiu Xiu]: What happened?

[Ren Zheng]: Didn’t you hear it? The senior was sitting next to me in the morning, chatting with Xixi.

[Ren Zheng]: Senior sister actually flirts with people in private! Xixi blushed when she said that.

[Ren Zheng]: She looks exactly like Jiang Mingyue in the squad leader's novel!
[Ren Zheng]: And the teasing technique feels quite similar to that in “The Age of Literature and Art”.

[Ren Zheng]: They are all the kind that are not explicit at all, but when you listen carefully you can feel that the speed is very fast.

[Zhu Yufei]: Okay, okay, now it’s confirmed. I’ll have to read this novel more carefully.

[Zhang Guohuang]: I read more than 20 chapters yesterday, and I haven’t read much yet.

[Zhu Yufei]: I have read more than a hundred chapters.

[Ren Zheng]: More than a hundred chapters?! Are your eyes a scanner?
[Hua Xiu Xiu]: I have only read eleven chapters, and I feel that this book is worth savoring. If you read it too fast, you will miss a lot of details.

[Zhu Yufei]: If it’s good, you can watch it twice.

[Ren Zheng]: I have discovered that when Senior Sister Xu is talking to other people, she is quite aloof...

[Ren Zheng]: Or maybe it can’t be said to be aloof, it’s just that there is a kind of deliberate alienation.

[Ren Zheng]: But when she was chatting with Xixi and Li Luo, she didn't have that feeling at all and was very relaxed.

[Zhu Yufei]: No wonder I couldn’t see it before, it turns out that the senior sister that the class monitor saw was different.

[Zhang Guohuang]: Damn! What should I do if I suddenly like Jiang Mingyue’s character?

[Hua Xiu Xiu]: A contrasting character, a very common setting in novels.

[Lin Yuan]: The squad leader deserves to die.

[Fang Chen]: The squad leader deserves to die.

……

After lunch, when everyone returned to the classroom for a nap, Li Luo said to Zhu Yufei, "Xixi is not feeling well, so she won't participate in the 400-meter race this afternoon. Remember to report this to the physical education teacher."

"Oh, I see." Zhu Yufei nodded.

Ying Chanxi, who was sitting at her seat, blushed slightly after hearing the conversation between Li Luo and Zhu Yufei.

Qiao Xinyan didn't know what was going on yet, and looked at Ying Chanxi with a puzzled look on her face: "Xixi, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine when you ran 1500 meters yesterday?"

"Hmm..." Ying Chanxi came close to Qiao Xinyan and whispered, "I got my period after I ran yesterday."

"Oh... no wonder." Qiao Xinyan nodded in understanding, then looked at Li Luo and smiled softly at Ying Chanxi, "Li Luo is really considerate. He took the initiative to speak for you."

Ying Chanxi's face turned even redder, but he muttered quietly, "Isn't this what he should do as a squad leader? What's so considerate about this?"

Hearing Ying Chanxi's stubbornness, Qiao Xinyan just laughed and thought that she should just listen to her words in the opposite way.

By the afternoon, among Li Luo and his group, except for Xu Yinghuan who participated in the 400-meter race and came in sixth, Li Luo was the only one who had a 3000-meter event.

When it was almost evening and the men's 3000m race started, the students from Class 1500 crowded onto both sides of the track just like they did yesterday afternoon during the women's m race.

The situation is similar for students in other classes.

There were no sports students participating in this 3000-meter race.

Li Luo maintained his position in the first echelon from the beginning of the race. By the fourth lap, he began to exert his strength slowly and gradually secured his position as the first.

After that, no other student could catch up with him.

Especially in the last lap, after seeing Li Luo speed up a little, the people behind him suddenly lost the desire to catch up.

So, when Li Luo crossed the finish line and was greeted with cheers from his classmates in Class 8, the second place runner had just come out from the corner, sprinting the last 100 meters.

As for Liu Shaowen, who also signed up for the 3000 meters, no one was interested in him.

Standing on the podium in the center of the lawn, Li Luo once again took a photo holding the 3000-meter championship gold medal. This sports meet also came to a successful conclusion.

On the third day, as the teacher's fun competition came to an end, the Rock Club appeared on the stage of the closing ceremony again and gave a wonderful closing performance. The sports meeting came to an end.

……

Time quickly came to November 11st.

The announcement date of the academic and elective examination results on the 24th is getting closer and closer. Many students who had chosen to take the first elective examination are slowly starting to get nervous.

At the same time, another storm was quietly flowing in the dark.

【Throw yourself into Sister Jiang’s arms! 】

[Ren Zheng]: Why do I have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu?
[Hua Xiu Xiu]: What’s wrong?
[Ren Zheng]: Don’t you think...the boys in “Literary Age” look more and more like replicas of the class monitor?

[Zhu Yufei]: Hmm? Now that you put it that way...

[Zhang Guohuang]: It seems to be true?!
[Hua Xiuxiu]: Why do you all seem to be reading it so quickly? We have only been reading it for a week, right? I just read Chapter 65.

[Ren Zheng]: Oh, Xiuxiu, you read too slowly. I have already read more than 400 chapters! [Zhu Yufei]: I have finished reading.

[Ren Zheng]: Why are you so fast? It's almost a thousand chapters already! I've only read half of it and it's already fast!

[Zhu Yufei]: There are only a little over two million words in total. Can’t you finish reading it in a week?
[Jiang Liuxian]: So how is he like Senior Li Luo? I’ve only read a hundred chapters…

[Ren Zheng]: You will understand when you watch later, it really is like that. I can’t really put it into words, but his behavior and every aspect give me the feeling that this is Li Luo.

[Zhu Yufei]: I am dying of laughter. Did Senior Sister Xu write the class monitor directly into the novel?
[Zhu Yufei]: This fucking story even goes into the details of going to bed, and there are so many different ways of doing it. It’s much more exciting than what the monitor wrote.

[Zhang Guohuang]: Don’t mention Class Monitor, his work has more than three million words, and he’s still kissing!

[Zhu Yufei]: You can’t talk nonsense. At least we have already taken a shower in a hotel room.

[Zhang Guohuang]: Haha, it’s just to see the degree of frosted glass. I don’t know how the squad leader came up with this plot. It made me scratch my head. There is no solid evidence at all!
[Ren Zheng]: Well... this is true... I admit that I am the best... But could you please not discuss this kind of thing in the group?

[Zhang Guohuang]: I’m just curious, is the class monitor really with the senior... huh?
[Zhu Yufei]: From what I read in the novel about the squad leader, Jiang Mingyue is indeed quite mischievous. Could it be that the two of them really...

[Ren Zheng]: Stop talking nonsense. If there is something real, why doesn’t the squad leader write about it in his own novel?
[Zhang Guohuang]: How could he dare to do that? If he really wrote it, wouldn’t the two people around him explode on the spot?
[Hua Xiu Xiu]: Although it’s okay for us to joke around sometimes, do you really think the class monitor would be with three girls at the same time?

[Zhu Yufei]: If it were someone else, I would say it’s impossible, but if it were the squad leader, I can only say… it’s hard to say.

[Ren Zheng]: But no matter what, we should try not to reveal the fact that Senior Xu may be writing the book "Literary Age".

[Zhang Guohuang]: That’s for sure.

[Hua Xiuxiu]: I'm talking about you. Don't just make promises here. If it gets out, it will definitely be you who did it. @张国煌

【Lin Yuan】: Indeed.

[Fang Chen]: Zhang Guohuang's mouth is like a little kid's open-crotch pants, with no zipper at all.

[Zhang Guohuang]: I'm a fucking secretive person! I really won't say anything this time!

……

"This parents' meeting will mainly share the situation of the first selection test."

On Saturday morning, Kong Junxiang was speaking at the podium while Ying Chanxi next to him was handing out notices for the parent-teacher meeting.

Different from last year.

Because there are academic examinations and elective examinations this year, the midterm examination in the second year of high school was cancelled and replaced directly with the academic examination.

The first and third year students just completed their midterm exams two days ago, and the results will be released on the 24th, which is just in time for the second year of high school.

"My advice is that you all come when you have time, and you should also explain it clearly to your parents when you get home."

"This time, a total of fifteen students in our class chose to take the elective exam."

“Five of the students took one course, three took two courses, and seven took three courses directly.”

"The results will be out the day after tomorrow. At that time, I can give parents a brief report based on the situation of my classmates and the overall situation of the school."

"Specifically, after the results come out, I will take the time to explain it in advance in class so that everyone can have a more intuitive understanding of the new college entrance examination."

After receiving the parent-teacher conference notice at his seat, Li Luo turned to look at Yan Zhusheng: "Aunt Yuan, are you free to come next Saturday?"

"I have to ask." Yan Zhusheng blinked and said, "Mom has been very busy since the singing program. If she is not free, forget it. She doesn't know anything about the selection anyway."

"That's right." Li Luo nodded with a smile, "It depends on how you do in the exam this time. It would be great if you could get full marks in one subject."

For Yan Zhusheng, after she reaches her third year of high school, she has to apply for the unified examination and school examination for art students and make preparations in advance.

Although in terms of musical literacy, Yuan Wanqing has found teachers abroad to train Yan Zhusheng since childhood, so there is no need to worry too much, but all the necessary preparations must be made.

If you can master the three minor subjects before the third year of high school, everyone will be happy.

Wait until the third year of high school and prepare for the art exam with peace of mind. After the exam, come back and review the three subjects of Chinese, math and English.

In terms of high school career planning, Li Luo has already made all the arrangements for Yan Zhusheng.

Coupled with Yan Zhusheng's own strength, the music school of Qianjiang University is still very stable.

……

After the club activities in the afternoon ended, Li Luo and the other two returned to Room 1502, Bi Hai Lan Ting.

Xu Youyu had returned early at noon and was still staying in his room.

When Li Luo and the others came back, Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling had just bought some vegetables and cooked dinner for them.

After a while, Li Guohong also strolled over from the hot pot restaurant, and Xu Rongsheng arrived soon after.

When dinner was served in the evening and everyone sat together in a circle, Li Luo told his parents about the parent-teacher meeting.

But now Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong don't care much about Li Luo's grades. After all, he has been ranked among the top 40 in the school. He also writes novels and songs, earning tens of millions a month. What else is there for his parents to worry about?
It’s better to just take care of yourself.

Lin Xiuhong now understands her own position more and more. She sits happily in the office of Chongran Culture every day to help see if anyone calls to invite them to sing songs or discuss cooperation.

If there is any, just make a note of it and tell your son about it when you have time later.

When I have nothing to do, I will invite the young ladies I know in the community to come over for tea and chat on the sofa outside the office.

I even bought a mahjong table and played mahjong in the office.

Sometimes after making an appointment with Cui Suling, the two mothers would go shopping, cook for the children on weekends, and play mahjong and dance together in the afternoon when they were free.

These days are becoming more and more comfortable.

Moreover, under Cui Suling's recommendation, Lin Xiuhong also learned how to go to a beauty salon for maintenance. Now she looks different, not only in spirit, but also in complexion and skin condition, as if she is several years younger.

"Are you going or should I go?" Lin Xiuhong glanced at Li Guohong and asked casually.

"You go, there's nothing good about it." Li Guohong waved his hand, "I've heard the teacher's praise so many times, and the selection exam has nothing to do with us, it's all Li Luo's doing."

"Then you go. I have to play mahjong with Sister Ling on Saturday."

"I have to look after the hot pot restaurant too." Li Guohong frowned and said, "There will be more customers on Saturdays. When can't you play mahjong?"

"How much money does your hotpot restaurant make? And you, as the boss, don't have to keep an eye on it every day. What's wrong with attending the parent-teacher meeting?" Lin Xiuhong said with a frown.

Li Luo: "...If you two don't want to go, just say so. It's okay if you don't go."

After some discussion, Li Guohong finally accepted the invitation to the parent-teacher meeting with reluctance to listen to how the teacher would praise his son this time.

But then Ying Chanxi timidly raised his hand and whispered to Lin Xiuhong, "Auntie Lin."

"Huh? What's wrong, Xixi?"

"Dad said he might not be free next Saturday." Ying Chanxi blinked and said to Lin Xiuhong, "Auntie Lin, would you like to help me then?"

"Huh? Lao Ying is busy again?" Lin Xiuhong was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and said with a smile, "Aren't you in the same class now? Just let your uncle Li be your parent directly, and forget about Li Luo."

Li Luo: “?”

"Then, can I?" Yan Zhusheng blinked and asked, "My mother is not free either."

Ying Chanxi: “?”

"Ah? This isn't a good idea, is it?" Li Guohong said awkwardly, "Zhu Sheng, are you also going to let us go in place of your mother?"

"My mother will definitely agree." Yan Zhusheng nodded and said seriously, "Uncle, do you want to help me?"

"Auntie Lin~" Ying Chanxi looked at Lin Xiuhong eagerly, pursed her lips and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay." Lin Xiuhong couldn't stand Ying Chanxi's coquettish offensive, and immediately agreed, "Then I'll go in your father's place."

"Ahem..." Li Guohong coughed, "Then I'll go in place of Zhu Sheng's mother."

"No..." Li Luo stood there in a daze, a little speechless, "Does this mean I'm an orphan?"

"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiuhong glared at him unhappily, "Eat your meal!"
