Episode 12 Extra

  Extra Chapter 12

  After entering the third year of high school, the atmosphere in the class suddenly became tense.

  No matter when you arrive near the high three classroom, it's always quiet and still.

  At this time, the discipline issues that teachers usually emphasize will no longer be on their lips, and instead, they will be more lenient in managing their classmates.

  Even the problem of early love which is usually prevented from happening in the first place seems no longer important at this moment.

  Of course, it's not that teachers no longer care about students, but with increasing academic pressure, they can't continue to suppress students in other aspects.

  Although there is still some time before the college entrance examination, it seems that some farsighted students have already begun to plan for their own future.

  This place is a second or third tier small city, so most people with big ideals usually want to go to Beijing and Shanghai.

  Of course Guangzhou is also good, it's just too far from them and the regional differences are quite severe, so it's not being considered for now.

  Chai Zi Yu once asked Gu Xiang which university she wanted to apply to, and Gu Xiang mentioned a traditional Chinese medicine university in the provincial capital of their province. The city was known for its rich cultural heritage. Moreover, the school she mentioned wasn't even the best one; the top one was actually located in the imperial capital.

  Chai Zi didn't say anything after hearing that. Gu Xiang just smiled and said: "I can't compare with you guys, I don't want to be away from home so far."

  Going to Beijing is inconvenient for future round trips. On the other hand, it's close to the provincial capital. After the high-speed rail opens, it will only take 30-40 minutes to get there.

  However, Gu Xiang felt that if it was someone like Chai Zi Yu who wanted to do finance, Beijing would definitely be the best choice. Only a big city like that could allow him to fully utilize his talents.

  Later, 100 days before the college entrance examination, after the first mock exam, teachers would post the learning experiences of students with excellent grades on the bulletin board, and also ask them to write down their aspirations to motivate other students.

  Gu Xiang performed exceptionally well in that exam and got the first place in the liberal arts class. Her photo and essay were posted side by side with Chai Zi Yu's.

  Those who knew them saw it and started another commotion.

  But they are both used to it now, anyway, it's been more than a year, in Jiao Shan Shan's words, they have become 'old husband and wife'.

  Of course, the two people's volunteer applications were also placed together, Gu Xiang's was a traditional Chinese medicine university in the provincial capital, and Chai Zi Yu's was an economics university in Shanghai.

  From Shanghai to the provincial capital, the high-speed rail journey takes less than two hours.

  The teachers who came and went saw it, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange in their hearts. Obviously, both of them were good students, so why did they fill out such conservative volunteer forms? It's not that the two universities they mentioned are bad, it's just that they should be aiming higher, these two schools can definitely be put as second choices.

  The quota for direct admission also came down soon, and the quota for direct admission in the municipality is not large. Generally, it is given to provincial excellent students, those who have won awards in the national middle school student subject Olympiad provincial competition area during high school, and those who have won national finals awards.

  Moreover, the list of schools with guaranteed admission has been released, and the school that Gu Xiang wants to apply for is not on it.

  Before the quota came down, Teacher Jia had talked to her and although he didn't say it explicitly, he hinted that Gu Xiang still had a chance to fight for it.

  The quota is limited and precious. Since Gu Xiang has decided to study traditional Chinese medicine, he doesn't intend to occupy the quota, so he clearly stated his position.

  Teacher Jia felt sorry but didn't say much.

  He didn't even look at the school that sent him, in his own words, 'Train soldiers for a thousand days, use them for one moment', if he doesn't go down to take an exam, how will he know whether these three years were truly useful or not.

  Only when he says this kind of thing does it not sound arrogant.

  In the last period before the college entrance examination, everyone is studying hard with their heads down, but their mentality has also become more calm and peaceful.

  Gu Xiang lost a lot of weight and last year's skirt hangs loosely on her body.

  Of course, it's not just her who has changed in shape, many classmates have suddenly become fat or thin.

  Either they over-supplemented at home or they overworked themselves.

  Gu Xiang himself didn't think it was a big deal, but his family couldn't bear to look at him.

  Grandfather and grandmother think of ways to supplement her nutrition every day, and Auntie Gu also calls her from time to time to remind her to take care of her body.

  It's just Chai Zi Yu, and the amount of snacks she brings every day has also doubled compared to before.

  Gu Xiang originally had milk delivered to her home and drank it before leaving for work in the morning.

  At night, Chai Zi Yu still brings her some every day and also drinks before she goes home.

  Later, she even brought her some energizing drinks. Gu Xiang drank a can and was energetic all night, staying up until dawn before falling asleep. The next day when she got out of bed, she wasn't even sleepy. It was as if she had taken stimulants or something.

  Gu Xiang thought this drink was quite useful and wanted to ask Chai Zi Yu if he was also drinking this kind of beverage.

  Chai Zi said lightly: "No, I sleep at 11 o'clock every day."

  Gu Xiang exclaimed in surprise: "No way, it's already past 10 o'clock when you get home from evening study and have a midnight snack."

  Chai Zi nodded, "Right, so I usually wash up after a bath and read for half an hour before going to sleep." As for the drink, he really hadn't drunk it, but was thinking that they had a lot of things to memorize in liberal arts, which consumed their spirit. He specially asked his dad to find someone to bring it to Gu Xiang.

  Gu Xiang: ……
