I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 211. Wan Ning, are you so easily satisfied?

In the days that followed, Lin Wanning and Xiao Ruanwen studied with all their might, hoping to return to the top tier by the end of the semester.

As a result, Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao, who were originally content as long as they finished their daily homework, also joined the ranks of those studying.

They eliminated the routine of watching TV and doing homework after dinner, and instead, following the school's rules and regulations, they studied diligently for two and a half hours every night.

During this time, whenever someone encountered a problem they couldn't understand, they would come to ask Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao, two top students, for help. They could also receive some guidance on applying what they had learned to other situations and fill in any gaps in their knowledge. This was several times more efficient than simply burying themselves in the classroom to study.

“This is very simple. You can break the parentheses like this, add 4ab and subtract 4ab to make a perfect square, and then add and subtract them to cancel each other out!” Xu Qingfan calculated for Xiao Ruanwen on the draft paper.

"Oh, Brother Fan, I get it." The girl suddenly understood, smiled at him, and continued to bury herself in her work.

"Brother Qingfan, I've finished writing. Take a look at mine!" Lin Wanning handed her completed physics test paper to Xu Qingfan.

"Let me see."

He took it and compared it with his own test paper. The answers he filled in were all the same, except for the last question about the speed of passenger trains.

"You forgot to subtract the waiting time at the transfer station in the last question. Recalculate it." He quickly found the mistake and handed the test paper back to her.

Lin Wanning opened his mouth into an "O" shape, nodded, took back the test paper, and began to correct it with a red pen.

Xu Qingfan was a little bored. He used to watch TVB dramas at this time, and he really wanted to watch "Beyond the Realm of Conscience"!

Xu Qingfan, now reborn, still enjoys watching period dramas filled with palace intrigue, backstabbing, and scheming. On the other hand, he can't watch more than two episodes of female-centric period dramas where the protagonist travels back to ancient times to fall in love.

This skin swap is essentially like a Black woman from the United States traveling back to the era of the ranch owner, and then using her modern singing, dancing, and rapping skills to win the hearts of the ranch owner's sons.

One day, the farmer died, and his sons fought each other to the death to inherit the family business. Then, the black girl stood by and sympathized with Little Pearl, saying, "Stop fighting!"

It's a bit far-fetched.

He sat in his seat pretending to look at the questions, thinking about what excuse he could use to sneak into the living room to watch TV. He felt a strong urge to watch TV when he thought of Charmaine Sheh's character, Liu Sanhao Xu Qingfan, in the show.

Yesterday, the fight between the two women ended just as it started. Women fighting is so exciting to think about!

When the thought popped into his head, he subconsciously looked at the five girls who were studying diligently.

"Don't look around! Write this down after you finish!" Discipline committee member Xia Xiaoxiao gave Xu Qingfan, who was daydreaming, a tap on the head and threw him a book of five years of middle school entrance exam simulations.

"I think I left my pen in the living room, go get it."

"Use mine." Xia Xiaoxiao saw through his trick and then took out a ballpoint pen from her pencil case and gave it to him.

"Go to the toilet on the second floor. If you have nothing to say, shut up and do your homework!" Xu Qingfan wanted to say something, but Xia Xiaoxiao's next words completely blocked his room for maneuver.

"Let's do it!"

[Trying to fool me? Just bend over and I'll know what you're up to!] Xia Xiaoxiao thought smugly to herself as she saw Xu Qingfan's discomfitured expression.

Many people have an unfounded confidence that they can easily solve junior high school math problems when they grow up, but that's not the case.

The final question in the middle school entrance exam is no less difficult than the college entrance exam. When plane geometry gets really hard, it can make people want to cry.

Even for strong individuals like Xia Xiaoxiao and Xu Qingfan, there have been times when they couldn't figure out a single problem even after an hour of trying without looking at the answer key.

Turning his grief into strength, he tackled three extremely difficult math problems in one night. Looking at the beautiful mathematical writing filling the answer area, Xu Qingfan's mood instantly brightened. "Isn't your dad awesome?" After checking his answers, he proudly spread out the problems for Xia Xiaoxiao to see.

"Holy crap, Xu Qingfan, you're cheating! Making one dish in twenty minutes?"

"Brother Qingfan, you're doing those problems that I don't understand again!"

"Brother Fan is incredibly sharp!"

"You're the best, brother!"

Listening to the girls' compliments, Xu Qingfan suddenly felt that learning was quite interesting. I love math!

Days passed by one after another, and their evening self-study sessions did not just last for a short time, but continued indefinitely.

Time flies, and the final exams are just around the corner.

All six of them were well prepared this time, but even so, Lin Wanning's heart still raced the moment he stepped into the examination room.

[Brother Qingfan said that closing your eyes and taking deep breaths can relieve tension.] Lin Wanning closed her eyes and imagined Xu Qingfan smiling at her. After taking a few deep breaths, she was indeed less nervous.

[Brother Qingfan really didn't lie!]
The girl calmed down and began to answer the questions seriously.

The three-day exam period passed quickly. After a short break, the six of them embarked on a spontaneous trip to Xiamen, a city in a neighboring province.

Unfortunately, they arrived at the wrong time of year, so they didn't see any flocks of seagulls at the beach. The scenery and food were quite nice, and the five girls had a very enjoyable trip. However, Xu Qingfan was shocked by the local prices and housing prices, which were actually higher than in their port city!
It was a week later when I returned to Licheng Middle School. Today was the day of the closing ceremony.

As it turns out, the principle of "practice makes perfect" applies to any field.

"Please come up to the stage to receive your awards when your names are called. First place: Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao from Class 6, Grade 7; Third place: Wu Lingyu from Class 6, Grade 7; Fourth place: Zhang Yiyi from Class 6, Grade 7; Fifth place: Lin Wanning from Class 6, Grade 7; Sixth place: Xiao Ruanwen from Class 6, Grade 7."

More than three months later, the six students once again occupied the top six spots in the grade.

"Brother Qingfan, I want a reward!" Lin Wanning held up her newly received certificate with both hands and acted cute and charming towards Xu Qingfan.

"Okay~ What kind of reward does Wan Ning want?"

"Oops~ My pen fell on Brother Qingfan."

"It's okay, I'll pick it up for you."

Lin Wanning also hid her upper body under the table. Just as Xu Qingfan picked up the pen and was about to get up, the girl quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, Brother Qingfan, this is the reward!" She sat up straight and took the pen that Xu Qingfan handed her.

"Hehehe Wanning, what's wrong with you? You're so easily satisfied! What kind of reward is it for Brother Fan to help you pick up the pen? If you ask me, you should treat him to a big meal!" Xiao Ruanwen laughed like a goose.

Xu Qingfan raised his hand and ruffled the girl's hair, not taking the fact that she had just kissed him too seriously. This child had been like this since she was little, and he was used to it.

"Hehe~" Lin Wanning just smiled obediently.

"Alright, Haidilao is on me, let's go!" Xu Qingfan had just finished saying this when the homeroom teacher on the stage finished his rambling and announced the dismissal.

"Yay!!"
