This humble Taoist priest wants to take the college entrance exam.

Chapter 191 The Aloof Junior Sister
Time flies, and after the Frost's Descent, the temperature drops noticeably.

Fortunately, Yunqi has a subtropical monsoon climate, and the temperature is relatively suitable throughout the year, without being too cold or too hot.

Occasionally, in rare years, it may snow in winter, but it will only be light snow at most.

However, in the surrounding high-altitude mountainous areas, such as the Xuanyue Mountain range where Jingchen Temple is located, light snow and rime ice are often seen in the depths of winter.

Overall, the weather is still quite comfortable, with an average daily temperature of around 18 or 19 degrees Celsius. Since the school stopped using air conditioning at the beginning of the month, even at midday, the fans in the classrooms are almost never turned on. Looking around the school, it's hard to find any students still wearing short-sleeved school uniforms.

It has been two months since Chen Shi'an came down from the mountain to enroll in school. He has become familiar with his current school life, made some good friends, learned a lot of new knowledge, and is living a fulfilling life every day.

Because of his extraordinary talent for learning, studying wasn't particularly difficult for him...

Two months ago, he came down the mountain as a "nine leaky fish" (a person who failed the imperial examinations). Although Chen Shi'an remained low-key as always, now no teachers or classmates treat him as a "nine leaky fish" anymore.

In the weekly test that just ended last week, Chen Shi'an scored a high score of 686.

You know, he only scored a little over 550 points in the last monthly exam. Only three weeks have passed, and he has improved by more than 100 points in the weekly test. This is simply unbelievable!
Weekly tests are not as formal as monthly exams, and there are no rankings. Everyone calculates their scores and rankings privately.

At first, only Chen Shi'an's classmates knew that Dao Ye had scored exceptionally well in the weekly test. Soon, the whole class knew that Dao Ye had scored exceptionally well again. Not long after, rumors spread throughout the grade that Dao Ye from Class 5, who had failed nine times, had entered the school and scored nearly 700 points in less than two months...

No matter the field, dark horses always generate the most buzz, let alone something as relevant as learning and exams for everyone.

While grades don't tell the whole story when evaluating a student, in a place like school, nothing is as convincing as grades.

Teacher Liang and the other subject teachers had long regarded Chen Shi'an as a treasure. When talking about Chen Shi'an with other teachers in the office, they would unconsciously adopt a boastful tone.

Scoring 550-plus is only considered average at Yunqi No.1 High School, but scoring 680-plus is impossible to keep a low profile! That's a solid top-ten ranking in the grade!
And this is just the weekly test. He improved by more than 100 points in three weeks. If he takes the monthly test in another week, he will surely get 700 points.

Daoist, what are you doing?! Don't you know whose private territory is 700 points? Calm down, Daoist!
I don't know if the other students panicked.

Lin Mengqiu panicked.

The girl was truly panicked!
Since enrolling, no one, including Wen Zhixia, has ever put as much pressure on her as Chen Shi'an.

As Chen Shi'an's deskmate, no one knew Chen Shi'an's learning speed and progress better than Lin Mengqiu.

Not to mention Chinese and English, Chen Shi'an has long surpassed the learning progress of his classmates.

As for math, which she often complained about learning slowly, Chen Shi'an has caught up after three weeks of study, and has even surpassed Lin Mengqiu, having completed all the math content from the three years of high school.

When Lin Mengqiu saw Chen Shi'an open the new math textbook that the other students hadn't received yet, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Chen Shi'an got a perfect score on last week's math test.

A perfect score!
The guy who only scored a little over 100 points on the previous monthly exam got a perfect score on his math exam three weeks later!

She got the same perfect score!

Lin Mengqiu still remembers the radiant smile on Teacher Zhang's face when she was reviewing the math papers that day.

The girl's face was serious as she stared at Chen Shi'an's perfect math test for a very long time...

I told you to do well on your math test, not that you should do that! Can't you even get away with missing one point? You're such a disobedient student!

Luckily, she also got a perfect score; otherwise, if Chen Shi'an had scored higher than her, Lin Mengqiu would have been devastated just thinking about it…

As a result, Lin Mengqiu had no advantage over Chen Shi'an in the three main subjects. Moreover, during the weekly Chinese test, Chen Shi'an did not use his forte, classical Chinese. Although he scored 52 points in modern Chinese, Lin Mengqiu had no doubt that Chen Shi'an could have scored higher in classical Chinese.

Lin Mengqiu knew that Chen Shi's performance was actually quite good, and his total score in this weekly test was at least 690 or higher.

Compared to him, I was only about ten points ahead.

These gaps are currently only reflected in the science subjects.

Because Chen Shi'an had been focusing on math in the previous period, learning math in English and Chinese classes, while he only learned science in his regular classes, his progress was much slower.

But things are different now. Last week, Chen Shi'an caught up with the math curriculum and started using English and Chinese classes to catch up on his science studies. Now, a week has passed, and Lin Mengqiu has no idea how much he has learned or how far he has progressed!
The key point is that this stinky Taoist priest answers questions with an outrageous level of accuracy, like a question-answering machine. As long as he knows the knowledge points, he almost never loses points, making him virtually invincible among his peers.

And that's not all. There were clearly many knowledge points he hadn't learned yet, but he still managed to get points, which can be described as taking a test beyond his level!

It's no wonder the class monitor was panicking. After all, based on the current weekly test scores, she was only leading by about ten points, while Chen Shi'an had spent another week studying science subjects. Who knows what kind of score he would get in the monthly exam?
Therefore, Lin Mengqiu spent the entire week feeling like she had returned to the days when she and Wen Zhixia were locked in a fierce and chaotic battle in her first year of high school. She increased her study time by an hour every day, determined to defend her dignity.

But Chen Shi'an remained carefree and relaxed.

The class monitor suddenly felt a little relieved that he wasn't studying outside of class time...

……

October 29th.

In the afternoon, the class uniforms that everyone ordered were delivered to the school gate by express courier, and Qiu Yufu asked a few boys to help her pick them up.

This was the first time that Class 5 of Grade 11 had made their own class uniforms. At that time, Qiu Yufu solicited design opinions from the class, including the design of the class emblem and the class uniform. Many students provided their opinions.

Unfortunately, there were few students in the class who could draw, and the opinions they offered were mostly written, making it difficult to form a unified, intuitive impression.

Unexpectedly, the class emblem designed by Chen Shi'an and the class uniform designed by Lin Mengqiu were unanimously approved by the entire class.

The class monitor and Dao Ye's design drawings have been seen by all the students in the class. Now that the actual class uniforms have finally been made and distributed, the class is as lively as if they were receiving new clothes for the New Year.

"Everyone, please check the size when you pick up your clothes! Don't grab the wrong one!" "Master Dao, this is yours!"

"Wow! This outfit is so cool!"

"When did our class monitor learn fashion design?!"

"The class badge designed by Dao Ye is really stylish, it's miles better than the school badge!"

The classroom was bustling with activity as everyone received their class uniforms.

Because of Chen Shi'an's presence, the Taoist traditional culture atmosphere in Class 5 is particularly strong. When Lin Mengqiu drew the design draft of the class uniform, it was based on this inspiration. The class monitor didn't have any selfish motives... It was approved by a unanimous vote, wasn't it!

The class uniform consists of only one top, which is a loose but not cumbersome cross-collar, right-fastening short style that reaches the waistline. The cuffs are also slightly tapered, making it more fitted to the arms than traditional short jackets, allowing for unrestricted writing and movement.

The main color is a refreshing moon white, with light blue piping on the collar, hem, and cuffs, resembling the color of morning mist in the mountains. This not only matches the tone of ancient style elements but also exudes more youthful vigor than traditional dark-colored Taoist robes.

The cuffs are decorated with auspicious cloud patterns, and the class badge on the left chest is designed by Chen Shi'an.

The class emblem is based on a circle. The upper part of the circle is a simplified Tai Chi diagram. Below the Tai Chi diagram, the artistic characters for "five" are combined with the number 5. The four characters "Grade 11 Class 5" are written horizontally below the emblem. The font is a calligraphic style designed by Chen Shi'an himself, which is more youthful and lively than the strict regular script.

Originally, Chen Shi'an used a classic black and white color scheme when designing the class uniform. Later, after Lin Mengqiu's design draft was selected, he changed to a more suitable light blue and moon white gradient color scheme based on the color scheme of the class uniform, which looked more refreshing.

After receiving the clothes, Chen Shi'an picked them up and looked at them, feeling they were quite nice.

Looking up at the classroom, many students had already eagerly put on the class uniform that blended ancient Chinese style and Taoist elements, looking like a bunch of bootleg Taoist priests who seemed to have traveled from somewhere.

The design of the class uniform is suitable for both boys and girls. At this age when everyone is young and playful, everyone is satisfied with such a good-looking and individualistic class uniform.

"Wow!"

Zheng Yining and Xie Mengxuan, who had just put on their class uniforms, turned around excitedly.

"Chen Shi'an, class monitor, the class uniforms you designed are so good! They look so cool!"

"It feels okay."

Chen Shi'an had already tried on the class uniform. He lifted the cuffs to look at them and said, "There are just a lot of loose threads."

"Haha, this is what clothes that cost a few dozen yuan look like. I have scissors, you can borrow them!"

"Thank you."

Chen Shi'an took off his class uniform, trimmed the loose threads, and then turned to look at Lin Mengqiu.

The class monitor simply held the clothes and looked at them with restraint, unlike the other students who couldn't wait to put them on.

"Squad leader, won't you try it on?"

"...I'll wear it again when I get back, and I'll wash it first."

"How did the class monitor come up with the idea to design this?"

"The idea came to me in a flash."

"Please put it on, class monitor."

"Not wearing it."

"Try it on, I want to see what the class monitor looks like in it."

"..."

Lin Mengqiu tugged at her clothes and looked around.

Seeing that almost everyone was trying on the clothes, she finally got to work, took off her school uniform jacket, and put on the class uniform that the two of them had designed together.

Aside from school uniforms and sportswear, Chen Shi'an had never seen Lin Mengqiu wear anything else. When she put on this cross-collar, right-fastening class uniform with full ancient Chinese elements, Chen Shi'an's eyes lit up.

The refreshing color scheme and simple ancient style of the class uniform perfectly complemented her cool and aloof temperament, making her look like a fairy who had traveled from somewhere.

"……How about it?"

"She looks beautiful, just like my junior sister."

Lin Mengqiu felt a little embarrassed under Chen Shi'an's gaze.

What a lecherous fellow! What kind of senior brother stares at his junior sister like that?

"It would be even better if the class monitor put her hair up; it would look better that way."

"Oh."

Too lazy to pay attention to him.

The aloof junior sister didn't even take off her class uniform; she just kept wearing it and continued reading.
