Chapter 101: You, Me, and the Future
The next day, Fu Chengque once again observed the entire cooking process, fortunately, she still had a bit of conscience and knew to wash the vegetables.
After dinner, she lay on the sofa in Wen Yu’s living room and played with the cat for a while, then grumbled and left.
Shortly after, Fang Ling was frantically searching for Wen Yu in the group chat, her emotions stirred.
【Queen’s First Harem】(5)
【Fang Ling:】: @ Wen Yu @ Wen Yu @ Wen Yu @ Lu Min
【Fang Ling:】: The anime you recommended only has seven or eight episodes, what’s going on?
【Fang Ling:】: Xiao Min, didn’t you say you watched it last year?
【Fang Ling:】: I’ve searched everywhere but can’t find the rest, can you guys send me a website?
【Lu Min】: … You’ve watched it all?
【Fang Ling:】: Yeah, yesterday evening, I had nothing to do, so I watched it.
【Fang Ling:】: @ Wen Yu, hurry up and show up, send a link.
【Wen Yu】: It’s over.
【Fang Ling:】: What do you mean it’s over?
【Wen Yu】: You’ve caught up with the latest episode. This anime is updated annually, with two episodes per year, each episode is eight minutes long, but it won’t be censored, just wait.
【Wen Yu】: Trust me, my friend from 2022 messaged me, it’s true, they’ve only watched over twenty episodes too.
After sending the message, Wen Yu put down his phone.
Then he heard laughter coming from the opposite side.
He felt secretly delighted too, was dragging people into a big pit such a fun thing?
Wen Yu smiled, withdrew his thoughts, and then immersed himself in his crude but enthusiastic painting creation, living his days calmly and naturally.
On January 24th, the end-of-term parent meeting.
The time was set between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., requiring all senior three students and their parents to attend, because this parent meeting was quite important, concerning the students’ university entrance examination and future.
Both Wen Yu and Fu Chengque’s families sent their old fathers to attend, but they both worked in the morning and took leave in the afternoon.
The two arrived at the school first, and the faces of the boys and girls they saw didn’t look good.
Most of them looked as if they were about to face the guillotine.
The same was true for the students in Class Four, all nervous.
Mr. Chen arrived on time, placed something like a lecture outline on the platform, and then asked everyone to leave.
Everyone knew that there was a list of this term’s grades rankings inside.
Several bold individuals couldn’t help but go up to take a look, but before they could even glance at it, Mr. Chen returned.
As those few hurried down, they whispered in shock, “The first place isn’t Cheng Pingce!”
Just as everyone wanted to ask more questions, Chen Xiongguo on the stage shouted, “Quiet!” and the whole class fell silent immediately.
After a few moments of darkening faces, suddenly they burst into laughter.
“This final exam, our class did well, the teachers are very pleased!” Chen Xiongguo announced loudly, “Overall grades have improved, especially for those who love to study in our class, they did very well, all of them!”
With this statement, the tone of this parent meeting for Class Four was set:
Praise was the main theme.
Class Four students looked at each other, all feeling pleased: the Spring Festival holiday this year would be comfortable!
On the stage, seeing this, Chen Xiongguo decided not to keep things hidden.
Originally, he hadn’t planned to announce the ranking of the grades, but since the atmosphere was like this, he decided to go ahead.
He said, “Since everyone wants to know, I’ll tell you. The overall grades for Class Four this time have improved a lot compared to before, and in terms of average scores, we’ve surpassed Class Two!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom erupted: “Wow!”
“Haha, Class Two must be so mad seeing the grades!”
“I’ve always disliked people from Class Two, feels good!”
“Should we change our name next semester? Let’s call ourselves Class Two!!”
“Agreed, agreed!”
Chen Xiongguo waited for a moment, then smiled and said, “Quiet down.”
He continued, “The main reason for exceeding the average score is that we have more high scores in our class, which raised the overall grade. There have been some significant changes in the ranking this time, but a drop in ranking doesn’t necessarily mean a drop in grades. On the contrary, it may even be an improvement.
Here, I want to especially commend five students: Wen Yu, Lu Min, Fu Chengque, Fang Ling, and Peng Hui. They are the top five students with the most progress in this exam!”
All eyes in the room immediately focused on this group.
Chen Xiongguo coughed:
“Peng Hui, this time ranked 16th in the class, made significant progress. Keep up the good work next semester.”
“Fang Ling, ranked 8th this time, this is also her first time entering the top ten in the class, well done!”
“Fu Chengque, also made significant progress this time, ranked 6th, very impressive, the teacher is happy for you.”
“And Lu Min, did very well this time too, ranked 3rd in the class! Keep it up!”
“Lastly, Wen Yu.”
Everyone’s gaze converged on Wen Yu, who remained motionless.
In fact, everyone could guess already; someone had already seen the grades in advance. Cheng Pingce, who had always been at the top, wasn’t in the first place this time, and the only one capable of bringing him down was Wen Yu, who had shown the fastest improvement in the class.
Just as Mr. Chen continued, “Since entering senior year, Wen Yu has been diligent in his studies, mature in handling affairs, and actively helps classmates when he has spare time. His grades have also made the fastest and most incredible progress in the past half year. This final exam—”
Chen Xiongguo paused and loudly declared:
“Wen Yu, first in the class!”
Clap clap clap—
At this moment, Fu Chengque suddenly became extremely excited. She looked at Wen Yu and led the applause.
With her lead, the whole class followed suit, and finally, enthusiastic applause erupted…
Wen Yu was also very happy, feeling the applause was quite surreal.
Once a mediocre person, once marginalized in high school, at this moment, everyone cheered for him.
He didn’t say anything, just smiled and listened to the applause from beginning to end, then heard Mr. Chen start talking about other things, gradually drawing everyone’s attention away…
In the end, only Fu Chengque was still looking at him.
The girl was secretly delighted and whispered to him, “Congratulations!”
Wen Yu returned a smile, “Congratulations to you too, you did well in the exam.”
“Thanks to Teacher Wen’s good teaching,” Fu Chengque said proudly, “We’re really going to dominate Class Four. Four of us are in the top ten!”
“Let’s continue to work hard next semester and aim to occupy the top five.”
“Okay, okay!” Fu Chengque tilted her head and softened her smile, “Wen, have you thought about university?”
“University? I thought you weren’t thinking about those things.”
“How could that be? There’s only half a year left. Where do you want to go?”
“Based on my current thoughts, of course, the higher the better. As for the specific location… I haven’t decided.”
“Uh… me too!” Fu Chengque raised her hand to support her cheek and blew her bangs, “It would be great if we could go to the same university and do a lot of things together!”
“Like what?”
“Like camping! I’ve been wanting to go for a long time, but it’s impossible in senior year…”
Wen Yu recalled, “Indeed, I’ve never been.”
He added, “But it’s okay. If our grades are good, universities usually aren’t too remote, so transportation won’t be a problem… unless it’s an agricultural university or a geological university.”
Fu Chengque became excited, “That’s true! Then let’s make a plan. We’ll keep in touch for university, and when the time comes, I’ll show you around my school. It must be better than yours!”
Wen Yu smiled and asked, “But what if our colleges are very close?”
Who can say for sure about the days ahead with me and you?
“How close?”
“Childhood sweetheart.”
Fu Chengque began to ponder…
Universities shouldn’t all be far apart, right? How could there be two universities as neighbors?
Impossible… it shouldn’t be!
***
About half an hour later, the student meeting ended, and everyone began to tidy up the classroom. The theme “Parent Meeting” was written on the blackboard, and then parents who had arrived were led to their seats.
Mr. Wen and Mr. Fu were both present. They were old friends, chatting outside.
Unlike conversations with students, discussions with parents involved not only current grades and status but also matters of the university entrance examination and the future, such as school choices, major directions, and filling out preferences, which were more important to adults.
Some students, having communicated with their parents, left first, while others gathered outside the classroom, chatting in groups.
Of course, the main topic of conversation was still grades.
“Cheng Pingce didn’t keep his first place…”
“Wen Yu is too amazing. Mr. Chen also said that our class’s grades have improved this time, which can only mean that Wen Yu’s grades have improved.”
“Fu Chengque and Lu Min are also amazing…”
“It seems like they study together.”
“Yes, yes, I heard them shout about forming some kind of group last time, a study group?”
“The Conquer the World Star Group…”
“That’s the one! Fang Ling and Peng Hui are also in that group.”
“Amazing, five people, four in the top ten! What about next semester? Could Peng Hui also make it into the top ten?”
“At this rate, it’s very likely…”
Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts. Was this group really so powerful?
Then they quietly cast their gaze over.
Hiss…
Should we think of a way to make friends with them next semester?
