I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 344. High schools don't crack down on puppy love.
With the physical education entrance exam over, everyone entered an even busier study mode in the remaining less than a month.

One afternoon in late May, the school organized them to fill out their high school entrance exam application forms in the computer lab.

Unlike the college entrance examination, where students fill out their college application forms after receiving their scores, the junior high school entrance examination in Gangcheng District has remained in the form of filling out applications before taking the exam for more than a decade.

Having already reached an agreement, the six individuals independently filled in 'Licheng Middle School' in advance and then directly selected the submit button in the lower right corner.

They weren't too worried about whether they would pass the exam. Even if they didn't pass, the six of them wouldn't attend any of the schools that admitted them in the first, second, or even third batches.

High school is different from university; there are still many backdoors to go through. Not to mention Zhang Chunxue, even with Lin Qiaoshan's connections in Licheng, it would be an easy thing to get all six of them into the high school at the same time.

In exchange, they would simply donate hundreds of thousands to repair the school facilities or directly establish scholarships, and so on.

The adults in the family respected their choice immensely, so the high school entrance exam application process went smoothly, and then they returned to the even busier cycle of practicing and explaining questions.

They don't spend every minute studying frantically. Apart from relaxing during physical education classes, they still have many opportunities to steal a moment of leisure.

For example, today.

The highly competitive college entrance examination has been over for a few days now. Today is the day that Licheng Middle School's senior high school department invited junior high schools in the district to visit and inspect the school. It is commonly known as the school's open day.

Not all schools have the resources to hold open days, and not all junior high school students can participate.

The former is easy to understand. After all, some schools only require a score of 300 or 400 on the high school entrance exam to get in. Before the results are released, who cares about you? But begging to be taken in after you get in is a different story.

The latter is easier to understand, since more than 20,000 people take the high school entrance exam in Licheng District every year, but only a tiny thousand or so of the top students are admitted to the high school.

The school they are currently attending is considered one of the oldest junior high schools in the district, with around 180 students getting into the senior high school each year. Therefore, they were allocated 200 visiting slots.

Xu Qingfan and the five girls were naturally included.

Around 8 a.m., after saying goodbye to the noisy reading, the six students left the classroom with their backpacks on, amidst the envious glances of their classmates.

Although they had been talking about wanting to attend high school for a long time, apart from Xu Qingfan, the five girls had never actually visited the school before. Today was the perfect opportunity to check out the learning environment for the next three years.

Lin Wanning seemed very excited throughout the journey. After all, he had a legitimate reason not to stay at school. Those who understand this feeling will understand.

"Brother Qingfan, do you think the classrooms at Licheng Middle School have air conditioning?"

"Yes, it was built the year before last. I heard that the multimedia equipment inside is top-of-the-line, and the cafeteria even has roasted chicken wings." This wasn't just something he'd heard; he'd clearly lived and studied there for four years in his previous life.

"Brother Qingfan, do you think the campus is beautiful?" Lin Wanning knelt on the bus seat and turned around to chat with Xu Qingfan.

"Isn't it beautiful? The music on the radio at dusk, watching the sunset must be gorgeous." A hint of nostalgia appeared on his face.

"Brother Qingfan, what did you say?"

The two exchanged questions and answers, and since many people on the bus were already chatting enthusiastically, it didn't disturb others.

As for those who use so-called fragmented time to memorize words, no way, no way, you don't really think it's effective, do you?
"Brother Qingfan, we'll be in the same class in high school!" Lin Wanning said with a determined look in his eyes.

Just then, the bus arrived at its destination, and Xu Qingfan's eyes flickered: "We'll see."

After he finished speaking, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and got off the bus. Xia Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yiyi, however, gave him a thoughtful look.

Lin Wanning assumed that Qingfan wanted to wait until everyone got into the high school before making any decisions, so she happily picked up her backpack and followed him.

"High school, here I come!"

There was no need to queue after getting off the bus; teachers from Licheng Middle School were already waiting for them at the entrance.

Xu Qingfan looked somewhat familiar with the person in front of him. It seemed that the person had taught him politics in his previous life, but since they had to choose between arts and sciences in the second year of high school, he wasn't entirely sure.

The teacher leading the group was speaking through a megaphone, while the students whispered amongst themselves. After all, for most of them, this high school was where they would live and study for the next three years.

Upon entering the school gate, you are greeted by a particularly large square, paved entirely with neat marble. It is where the national flag is raised on Mondays. Even with more than 3,000 teachers and students standing there, it does not feel crowded. It must be at least 10,000 square meters.

After entering, the five girls toured the school with a sense of novelty. Upon getting off the bus, they were greeted by such a large square, prompting many of their companions to exclaim in surprise.

"It feels even bigger than our primary school!" Xiao Ruanwen said in their group of six.

“Our primary school only covers a little over 100 acres. I saw on the official website that Licheng Middle School covers more than 300 acres, which is over 200,000 square meters. It must be huge,” Xu Qingfan said with a smile and a shrug.

When people hear that it's more than 300 acres, they don't really grasp the concept, but when they hear that it's more than 200,000 square meters, many people can't help but gasp in astonishment.

After all, many universities don't have such a large area.

"This student is right. However, the 300-plus mu figure includes the undeveloped back mountain. Because snakes often appear in the summer, the back mountain is usually closed off. So the actual area is not that big; it is more than 200 mu."

The teacher leading the group seemed to have overheard Xu Qingfan's conversation and added to it through a megaphone.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!"

"It's much bigger than our lousy school."

"I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to take the entrance exam for Licheng Middle School!"

Xu Qingfan smiled and nodded to the teacher as a greeting.

The group was quickly led to the school's auditorium. When they entered, nearly two-thirds of the seats were already occupied. The school uniforms were of various colors, but it was the only school to have two hundred people like their junior high school.

After they found their seats, the recruitment presentation quickly began.

Xu Qingfan, the teacher who presented the PPT on stage, was very familiar to him. He was his math teacher after the division of arts and sciences in his previous life, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would also be the deputy grade leader when they entered high school in September.

He's a very driven young man who graduated from the English Department of East China Normal University, but ended up becoming a math teacher.

His teaching ability is also excellent, as evidenced by the fact that he became the deputy head of his grade just a few years after graduation.

However, one downside is that this person has bad breath, in a physical sense. Xu Qingfan was often bothered by his bad breath when he sat in the front row in his previous life.

Since the college entrance examination results haven't been released yet, the other party's introductions mainly consist of the school's various facilities, club culture, and awards received.

Xu Qingfan wasn't very interested, but the five girls listened with great interest, since Teacher Fan was quite witty and humorous.

For example, if the school is very large, he won't explicitly list the data or the specific area, but will use an exaggerated tone to say: every year, in the first few weeks after the new students arrive, some students get lost.

Secondly, there's a story that teachers repeatedly dredge up every year: Be careful of mosquitoes, snakes, and rats in the summer. One of your seniors was bitten by a snake while dating in the woods. This is a true story. Licheng Middle School is built on a mountain called Snake Head Ridge, so you can imagine how many snakes there are.

Watching the dormitory supervisor kill several snakes every summer has become a regular activity for the students here.

The lecture didn't last long. After about half an hour, Professor Fan announced that they could move around freely. After all, nothing is more profound than a field trip for the students.

After the six of them broke away from the group, they began to stroll around the campus. Xu Qingfan, as was his habit, put himself in the position of a tour guide and patiently explained to the five girls what each building was used for.

"That's the library up ahead. Dragons can borrow things there, but it's quite popular. I think there was even a reading class held there in the first year of high school," Xu Qingfan said, pointing to a building that looked like a rice cooker.

"Wow!"

"Confucius!"

"Haha, so many offerings!"

The library is open to the public. In the center of the lobby stands a three-meter-tall statue of Confucius. Because the college entrance examination has just ended, many of the offerings used by students for prayers have not yet been cleaned up. Of course, it is also possible that the school wants to wait until the results of the college entrance examination are released before cleaning them up.

"Haha~ So these senior students are also superstitious." Xiao Ruanwen smiled and squinted her eyes.

"Superstition is fine too; life needs a little ritual, after all." Having experienced rebirth, it would be pure nonsense for Xu Qingfan to still claim to be a staunch materialist.

“Yes, let’s pray for blessings too!” Looking at the names of universities written on the sticky notes, Lin Wanning also felt a little itchy to write.

"Did anyone bring any sticky notes?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked.

"No." The five of them shook their heads in unison, after all, they hadn't thought about this activity before they left home.

"The convenience store should sell them, right?" Zhang Yiyi looked at Xu Qingfan. She felt that this older brother was very knowledgeable today, like a local bigwig.

"Of course they have them. Except for lightning rods, you can buy all kinds of daily necessities at the school store." He almost blurted out "condoms," but thankfully he stopped himself.

"Why would you buy a lightning rod for no reason?" Xiao Ruanwen tilted her head in confusion.

"Right, Brother Qingfan, aren't the lightning rods all at the very top of the building?"

"Ahem. I just wanted to indirectly show that the convenience store sells a lot of things, don't overinterpret it!" Xu Qingfan gave each of them a flick on the forehead.

"Woo~"

Led by Xu Qingfan, the six of them quickly arrived at the canteen's convenience store. Xu Qingfan had loved shopping there in his previous life because the owner always treated everyone equally, calling men "handsome" and women "pretty."

Just to hear that "handsome guy" every day, many students who originally had no desire to spend money will make a special trip to buy a pack of Mimi.

"Handsome, that's ten dollars in total."

Xu Qingfan deliberately took the opportunity to pay the bill, and the long-awaited "handsome guy" made him happy.

"Handsome guy" is a common term used in Hong Kong, so the five girls didn't realize his ulterior motives.

After taking the sticky notes and offerings, they quickly returned to the library.

The six people wrote the same thing on their sticky notes: "September 1st, let's all come to Licheng Middle School to register!"

Below is the date and my name.

After sticking sticky notes in the empty spaces, they held the offering—Mimi—and bowed devoutly to Confucius.

Finally, the offerings were left behind, and the mission was accomplished.

"Let's go, let's explore other places." Xu Qingfan waved for them to leave.

"Ok!"

Next, Xu Qingfan took the five people to visit the gymnasium, the laboratory building, and Love Avenue, a popular dating spot for couples on campus.

"I heard it too, it's said that if a person of the opposite sex walks side by side on Love Avenue at night, they will become a couple within a month." As they walked on Love Avenue, Xu Qingfan told the five girls gossip he had heard in his previous life.

"Ok?"

All four girls triggered their danger alert, but Xiao Ruanwen was still commenting: "Hehehe~ This is just an ordinary cement road, what's with this mysterious 'Love Avenue'?"

"It's probably because it's close to the dorms, making it convenient for couples to run back to their dorms at the last minute after a date, so it was named Love Avenue," Xu Qingfan shrugged.

What he said was almost true. Licheng Middle School doesn't crack down on cell phones or early relationships, so much so that dozens of couples gather there every night.

"And think about it, if a member of the opposite sex is willing to walk around campus with you late at night, they obviously have feelings for you in that way, so it's not surprising that you'll get together within a month," he added.

"Hey~ So that's how it is, Brother Fan, you know quite a lot!" Xiao Ruanwen patted his shoulder with a lewd look in her eyes, but in her heart she was thinking about whether she could arrange for Xiao Xiao and Brother Fan to have a fling.

"I really want to go to high school soon!" Lin Wanning said with anticipation.

[Then, Qingfan, Yiyi, and I will stroll hand-in-hand along Love Avenue, just like when we're jogging!]
"Won't the school crack down on early dating?" Xia Xiaoxiao was thinking about another question. After all, the junior high school was very strict about cracking down on early dating, and they would call the parents as soon as they found out.

"No, they don't crack down on electronic devices or early relationships. High school is pretty free. I heard that from guys on Tieba," Xu Qingfan added.

"Oh."

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. If high schools don't crack down on puppy love, doesn't that mean...?
[You can have a super sweet romance with this stinky dog ​​in high school!]
Wu Lingyu only glanced at Fan Ge, without giving it much thought.

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi exchanged glances, their eyes conveying a determination to stick to the original plan.

After leaving Love Avenue, it was almost time to gather and head back.

"Oh right, there's also a statue of Einstein at school. Shall we go and pay our respects?" He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, it had become a custom for humanities students to worship Confucius and science students to worship Einstein.

"No."

"Why worship foreigners? They're not our ancestors."

"Hahaha~ I want all the foreigners dead!" Xiao Ruanwen suddenly remembered the famous scene in Cixi from the TV series "Towards the Republic".

"Hahaha"
