Who would still play tennis after being reborn?

Chapter 25 Zhejiang University is within reach, Tsinghua and Peking University are just dreams

Li Yang excitedly put his hand on Gu Cheng's shoulder: "Really, Cheng, I'm not lying to you. She was just looking at me. That look in her eyes was absolutely amazing. Her cold demeanor was so cool. How can there be such a beautiful and cool girl!"

"Mom, I'm in love."

"Why don't you go talk to your mom and see if she'll beat you to death?"

Li Yang shrank back and chuckled, "But Cheng, I'm telling you, Xia Zhitong definitely glanced at me just now, and her gaze was completely different from other boys."

"I'm really troubled right now, you tell me..."

Li Yang was lost in thought: "What should I do if she really likes me? Dating is taboo at No. 1 High School. If the homeroom teacher finds out, it's the same as my parents finding out. I'll definitely get a double beating."

"Although they will be overjoyed to bring back such a beautiful daughter to them, they will definitely not approve of her dating in high school."

What will I do then?

"Brother, it's time to wake up from this dream." Gu Cheng slapped his hand away, offering a friendly reminder: "There are three great illusions in life: your phone rings, someone knocks on the door, and she likes me."

"Do not."

"It's definitely not an illusion."

Li Yang said with certainty, "You don't understand her, you don't understand what that look meant. Of course, you wouldn't understand even if I told you all this. If you're my brother, then wish me luck."

At this point, Li Yang's gaze as he looked at Xia Zhitong's retreating figure became somewhat dazed, as he indulged in wild fantasies.

Judging from his expression, Gu Cheng probably already knew the name for the child.

"There are still about ten minutes left in the break. Why don't you ask the boarding students in the class whose bed is cleaner?"

"Why do you ask this?"

Gu Cheng's tone turned serious: "At this moment, perhaps only the scent of photinia flowers can calm you down!"

"Heather?"

Li Yang looked puzzled: "Someone in the dorm brought photinia flowers? I've never heard of that before?"

"That's not right. I went to Zhou Xiao's dorm last week and didn't see anyone growing photinia!"

Zhou Xiao, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and looked at him like he was an idiot: "Li Yang, why don't you shout louder? Only a few people can hear you. If you shout louder, you should go to the school's broadcasting station and yell a few times."

"By then, not only Xia Zhitong, but all the girls in the school will know your name, Li Yang."

Li Yang looked bewildered: "Wait, why? It's just a photinia flower, isn't it? Is it that famous?"

"Keep pretending, keep pretending!" Zhou Xiao said with disbelief.

"Screw you pretending, I'm not pretending. What's the meaning of this photinia flower?" Li Yang was getting more and more confused, but he also realized something was wrong from Zhou Xiao's wicked smile.

This photinia flower is definitely not a good thing.

"Did you ask A-Cheng? Wasn't it him who suggested it?" Zhou Xiaochao gestured towards Gu Cheng with her lips.

Li Yang looked at Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng strode forward, leaving the two behind in just a few steps.

"Zhou Xiao."

Li Yang had no choice but to turn his attention to Zhou Xiao again. Moreover, to prevent him from escaping, he had already taken Zhou Xiao into custody with the help of his subordinates.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhou Xiao whispered in Li Yang's ear, "Have you fought before?"

Li Yang was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening, his eyes widening like a bull's.

Zhou Xiao smiled and said, "The scent of photinia flowers is similar to the smell of that stuff."

"Fuck!"

Li Yang immediately pushed Zhou Xiao away, looking disgusted: "You guys are so dirty! I'm the pure one."

"Pure my ass! You think you're pure? How come you understand 'pure' so easily?"

Li Yang was frustrated. "Screw you, I'm not clean anymore."

Back in the classroom, Li Yang plopped down and glared at his deskmate: "Acheng, your heart is so dirty."

"Apologize."

Gu Cheng turned around to face Li Yang, a playful smile on his face: "Apologize? What's there to apologize for? That's just how it is. What? Didn't Zhou Xiao tell you?"

"said."

"understand?"

"understood."

"Then you are talking nonsense."

"I……"

At this point, Li Yang recalled Xia Zhitong's eyes and sighed, "What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?"

"If you really like someone, just confess your feelings."

"Forget it, now's not the time to be in a relationship. Besides, if she actually agrees and the teacher finds out, I'll be dead."

Gu Cheng smiled dismissively.

If you don't dare, then you don't dare. Why are you talking nonsense?

A master of words, a Yordle in action.

Teemo can even use a speed boost to run a few steps; this guy is a typical case of having the desire but not the courage.

In his previous life, Li Yang fell in love with a girl in college and secretly loved her for four years. After graduating from college, he finally mustered up the courage to confess his feelings after Gu Cheng prepared flowers for him. However, he found that the girl was kissing her boyfriend on the playground.

With that kind of lack of initiative, they won't even get to eat hot shit.

"Alright, lie down and take a nap. Sweet dreams, don't disturb my reading." Gu Cheng patted Li Yang on the shoulder and turned to look at his math book.

With the second monthly exam approaching, he's only somewhat confident in English. He's basically forgotten everything about the other subjects. If he weren't a student in the Prince of Tennis world, still maintaining his enthusiasm for learning and his study habits, he probably would have given up on studying long ago.

Having experienced the restlessness of society, how can one concentrate on studying?

Fortunately, it was only the beginning of the first year of high school, and the content was still relatively basic. The math was mainly related to set mapping functions and sequences, which he had just started learning. With his experience from his previous life, Gu Cheng felt that he could definitely score 130 or 140 after a little review.

English wasn't difficult for him either, and the remaining subjects, chemistry and biology, were even easier. He just needed to memorize the key points in the textbooks, and getting a high score wouldn't be hard.

The remaining physics was relatively easy at first.

It's hard to fail Chinese. As long as you put in the effort and write a good essay, you should be able to get over 110 points, right?
As for politics, history, and geography, students in the first year of high school will study all nine subjects before they are divided into arts and sciences tracks. The division into arts and sciences tracks will begin towards the end of the second semester of the first year of high school.

Most of the subjects—politics, history, and geography—rely on memorization. With a total score of 1050, getting 800 shouldn't be a problem.

"Eight hundred? Doesn't that mean you'd be in the top thirty in the whole school?"

Gu Cheng's heart was pounding. His grades had always been average because he was good at some subjects but not others. He never expected that in this second life, he would see a glimmer of hope.

If he can score 800 on the next monthly exam, wouldn't he be able to get into Zhejiang University, or even realize his dream of attending Tsinghua or Peking University?

However, this is all theoretical; whether one can actually achieve such a high score is still hard to say.

Most importantly, he is only in the first year of high school, and the content he is learning is relatively simple. It is much easier than the college entrance examination. Just because he thinks he can get a high score now doesn't mean he can do it in the future.

Many students have good grades when they first enter high school, but as they learn more and more difficult material, they can't integrate the knowledge, and their rankings and scores drop again and again.

When Gu Cheng first entered high school, his grades were quite good, but by the second semester of his first year, his grades had dropped significantly.

By the time they reach their senior year of high school, they can basically only get the score required for a regular second-tier university.

Of course, given Gu Cheng's skill in tennis, as long as he has enough money, he can also use this opportunity to apply to top high schools in the United States and then enter prestigious universities, skipping the college entrance examination process.

However, it costs money.

Studying abroad can be quite expensive.
