  August 8th

  Gu Xiang walked out of Teacher Jiang's office, holding the papers that Teacher Jiang had given her. She didn't hide them or conceal them, but instead openly and honestly took them back to the classroom.

  Moreover, she was originally the class representative for English lessons and often took some papers back from Teacher Wang, so taking papers into the classroom did not attract her classmates' attention.

  But before school was over that day, during self-study class, Gu Xiang suddenly received a note.

  Most people have memories of passing notes during their school days, those small pieces of paper that carried secrets and could not be replaced by electronic communication, often carrying the memories of many people's entire youth.

  Gu Xiang and the others used to often pass notes, sharing some of the girls' secrets. So when she received the note, her mouth corners involuntarily curled up.

  She opened it and saw that it was indeed Tang Lu's familiar handwriting, but there was only one sentence:

  Let me take a look at the papers you brought back.

  Tang Lulu is very familiar with Gu Xiang, so she also knows that Gu Xiang will only go to Wang's office before English class and guesses that the papers she brings back are mostly given by Jiang.

  Normally, if Tang Luoluo said so, Gu Xiang would definitely give it to her directly and let her go copy it. The two of them could still communicate with each other after they finished.

  However, since school started, she clearly felt that Tang Lulu had become distant from her, and even before this note came, they hadn't spoken alone for a long time.

  After stuffing the note into the desk drawer, Gu Xiang continued with what she was doing.

  She wrote about half a page, and she also felt that she was making a big deal out of nothing. It's just one test paper, no need to really fall out with her good friend all along. Then she took the set given by Teacher Jiang and put it in a set of papers that had been done before, letting her classmates pass it on.

  Before school was over, this test paper was passed back, and Gu Xiang didn't even look at it, she just stuffed it into her backpack and packed up to leave.

  After finishing her homework in the evening, she took out the test paper given by Teacher Jiang and saw that several questions were not marked with a "☆".

  She used to exchange notes with Tang Lulu often, so she was quite familiar with Tang Lulu's note-taking habits. This symbol is what she circled as the key point.

  Tang Lulu's information is definitely more than her own, so the notation of this painting by Tang Lulu must be for herself to see.

  Gu Xiang suddenly felt much more at ease. Although they were in a competitive relationship, she had never thought of standing on the opposite side of Tang Lulu.

  No monthly exams in the third year of junior high school. Because there are already too many exams, basically every week there will be a small test for all subjects. Unlike the formal exams organized by the school before, it's just a test in the classroom, and you don't need to empty your desk or anything, and only the teacher of this subject is invigilating.

  But even so, none of my classmates had any tendency to cheat.

  Let's not mention that they were all good classmates from the beginning, it's already the last semester of junior high school, and anyone with a little sense knows that cheating is useless at this time.

  Every Friday, each class organizes its own exams, and by Monday, the papers are graded, with even the names arranged and posted on the bulletin board in the classroom.

  After several exams, until the mid-term exam, Gu Xiang still maintained her first place. However, Tang Lulu's total score was usually only one or two points behind hers, and once they even had the same total score, tied for first place.

  Two people have always been evenly matched, until the mid-term exam, Tang Lulu finally won over Gu Xiang for once, with a total score three points higher than hers, and ranked first in the grade for the first time.

  It's impossible for Gu Xiang to say she didn't feel a little disappointed in her heart.

  But also have to thank Tang Luolu for making her feel motivated, now she feels full of motivation every day when going to school.

  After learning about her mid-term exam results, Gu's mom didn't think she did poorly just because she was overtaken.

  Gu Xiang's efforts were all in her eyes, and her daughter hadn't given her much to worry about since the first year of junior high school. The mother-daughter duo had already discussed it, she knew Gu Xiang really didn't want to go to Tianyi Middle School that kind of place, so she stopped thinking about those things later on.

  Anyway, Gu Xiang's grades were still stable in the city, but she was worried that her daughter would exhaust herself during her third year of junior high school, especially before the mid-term exams. Gu Xiang had been studying until almost midnight for several days, and dark circles appeared under her eyes. Her skin was pale, making the dark circles even more noticeable, and from a distance, you could tell she didn't look well.

  Later, Gu's mother also heard from somewhere that there is a special eye patch for glasses, which can relieve eye fatigue and reduce dark circles.

  After comparing several brands, Mrs. Gu bought a few boxes of "Jensen Ming". I heard it can also reduce the degree of myopia.

  Gu Xiang didn't wear glasses, but Gu's mom thought it would be better to take precautions.

  Then Gu Xiang applies eye patches for twenty minutes every night before sleep, she is also quite tired after a day of reviewing, can't even calculate the time properly, sometimes as soon as her eyes are closed and her head touches the pillow, she falls asleep.

  She stayed up late at night, and her mother must have been unable to sleep first and had to wait for her.

  Then the two of them went to sleep in a bedroom, so when Gu Xiang applied eye mask, her mother could still help keep an eye on the time and remove it for her when it was almost done.

  After applying it for several months, it's still unclear whether it can reduce the degree of myopia. The eye patch is really cool and comfortable to sleep with.

  Originally, Gu Xiang liked to review the content of a whole day's study in his mind before going to sleep. Sometimes, he would think about it for half an hour, and his thoughts would become clearer and clearer, but he wouldn't feel sleepy at all. He felt tired, but couldn't fall asleep.

  It's really true that I didn't feel much and just fell asleep.

  As the mid-term exam is getting closer and closer, the learning atmosphere in the class is becoming more and more intense.

  However, the most frequent ones are absolutely not the students themselves, but the parents of third-year junior high school students.

  Lin Jiahuan had complained to Gu Xiang more than once, saying that her parents were always awake at midnight and would come to check on her after a while. Although she wasn't a light sleeper, she couldn't withstand being woken up by someone opening the door two or three times. Sometimes, she would wake up dazedly two or three times in one night.

  Moreover, she was too embarrassed to tell her parents that when she was doing her homework that day, her mother was watching TV in the living room with the volume too high, so she went out and said something. Her father heard it and seriously scolded her mother, who immediately turned off the TV and apologized to her repeatedly.

  It was originally a very small matter, but her parents took it so seriously that she became embarrassed. Later on, she didn't dare to speak up about anything, fearing that her parents would be like enemies again.
