Reborn to prepare for the college entrance exam, you're letting me retire and make a comeback?

Showing off is like the wind; sometimes, that's just how carefree it is.

For example, right now, Su Yuwei stood frozen at the edge of the podium, feeling the 602-point test paper in her hand become incredibly heavy.

Lu Qian brushed past her.

A tiny gust of air swept across her slightly flushed cheeks, like a slap in the face.

She could feel his gaze sweep across her face.

That gaze seemed to say, "See, I told you I would improve, and... even more than you can imagine."

How could that be...?

How could Lu Qian have improved so much...?

Su Yuwei's mind was in complete chaos; her earlier smugness and pride were shattered by this sudden slap.

He even forgot how he moved his feet and returned to his seat in a daze.

Head bowed, as if trying to bury their entire face in the exam paper.

The subtle glances from the surrounding classmates felt like needles pricking me.

At the same time, after a brief silence in the classroom, gasps of amazement erupted one after another.

"Holy crap! 589? Fifth place?! Lu Qian?!"

"Really? Isn't he always busy chasing girls and playing sports?"

"Hey, even Old Zhang specifically praised him. His Chinese composition and history essay were both excellent. He's amazing!"

"My goodness, this level of progress... It's like a heifer wielding a knife to cut an electrical wire, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning, isn't it?"

"6. Why are you suddenly singing crosstalk?"

"..."

Chen Ming, who had just been convinced that Lu Qian was bragging, now had his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

He watched Lu Qian take the test paper, saw the undisguised approval on Old Zhang's face, and recalled his own mockery just now, feeling his face burning with embarrassment.

So this guy wasn't just bragging...

He really wanted to show off...

And it actually worked!

He slapped his forehead suddenly, muttering in frustration, "What a disaster!"

It felt like reality had hit me hard in the back, and I was stunned for a long time.

It withered.

The most composed person in the entire audience was none other than Comrade Zhang Liu, whose lines had just been stolen.

The guy was already fast asleep, lying on the table, completely oblivious to the storm raging around him.

Lu Qian took the test paper, looked at Old Zhang with a relieved smile, and said, "Thank you, teacher."

He turned around, his gaze calmly sweeping across the audience, past Chen Ming's shocked face, past Su Yuwei's lowered head, and finally landing on the front row.

Lin Shuyue turned to the side and winked at him quietly, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with laughter and a hint of smugness.

Lu Qian understood immediately and, after returning to his seat, said to Lin Shuyue, "Lin, you lost this bet. Remember to treat me to a movie this weekend."

He still remembers that incident.

"Okay, okay!"

Even though she was the one who lost the bet and had to treat everyone, Lin Shuyue acted as if she had received a reward, smiling and saying, "See you this weekend!"

Her excited little face made it seem as if she had gotten a high score on the test.

"I won't let you treat me for nothing."

Lu Qian said, "You deserve credit for this exam result. I'll treat you to milk tea later."

"That's great!"

Lin Shuyue's dimples reappeared once again.

"Next, we announce the 6th place winner, Li Ting, with a score of 580."

"..."

At this moment, Old Zhang cleared his throat, silencing the murmurs in the classroom, and continued reading the grades.

As names were announced one by one, some were happy while others were sad.

However, everyone quickly adjusted their mindset. After all, there are so many exams in the senior year of high school. Doing well or poorly on one test is not likely to damage one's confidence, because if you do poorly this time, there is always next time.

But no matter how many times you take the test, it's all for that one most important final exam.

In fact, the college entrance examination is just like what Liu Bang said: you can lose countless times, but you must win the last one.

Finally, when the last name was called, Old Zhang looked at the list, then at the head of the student sleeping soundly in the audience, and sighed helplessly.

"Zhang Liu!"

"zzz..."

"?"

The only response he received was a steady, rhythmic snoring.

Oh no, Xiao Liu Zi has mastered his divine skill; even a Dou Zong expert couldn't break through his defenses.

Instantly, all the students' eyes were focused on Zhang Liu.

Seeing Zhang Liu's appearance, Old Zhang frowned even more, but he also felt somewhat helpless.

He looked at Lu Qian, his eyes giving him a frantic hint.

Control your deskmate!

Lu Qian received the signal and shrugged helplessly.

In his memory, he seemed to have been used by Lao Zhang as Zhang Liu's "wake-up call" worker during high school, and he had long been used to it.

Sigh, who can blame us for having such a troublesome concept of loyalty?

He thought for a moment, and instead of pinching or pushing as usual, he moved his chair slightly.

"Creak—"

The chair legs made a screeching sound as they rubbed against the ground.

Zhang Liu, who was dreaming of playing chess with the Duke of Zhou, suddenly jolted awake.

Then I sat down on nothing.

"Aww!"

The person and chair tipped over to the ground, and the person nearly rolled their eyes back.

My butt hurts!!!

"Holy crap! An earthquake?!"

Zhang Liu was dazed and confused after the fall. He covered his backside and groggily got up.

Looking around in bewilderment, he saw the faces of all his classmates trying to suppress their laughter and the dark, sullen face of Teacher Zhang on the podium, and then he realized what was happening.

A burst of laughter erupted.

"Zhang Liu! I'm calling you! Get your test paper!"

On the podium, Old Zhang suppressed a laugh and sternly shouted.

"..."

Zhang Liu instantly perked up, realizing he had been awakened for service again, and quickly went up to the podium.

As she walked, she rubbed the spot where she had fallen and hurt herself, glaring at Lu Qian with a grimace: "Lu Qian, you called me when you wanted to, but why did you make me sit on the ground?!"

"..."

Old Zhang couldn't hold back any longer; his lips twitched a few times, and he almost burst out laughing.

There's no way around it, this lively student is just too hilarious.

I reckon I'll have a hard time forgetting this incredibly outrageous student for the next few years.

Little Liu, Little Liu, wait until you become a legend for the next few years of juniors.

In the end, he still handed him the test paper with the appalling score: "Pay attention to classroom discipline next time, and don't fall asleep again."

"Oh, thank you, teacher."

Zhang Liu took the test paper, glanced at the pitiful score, and unsurprisingly curled his lip: "Just a normal performance."

Then, amidst the whole class bursting into laughter, he slowly crawled back to his seat like a koala.

He rested his head on the table and drifted off to sleep again.

"..."

Looking at his lively deskmate, Lu Qian shook his head, both amused and exasperated: "This kid is hopeless."

The release of monthly exam results has finally come to an end.

Old Zhang composed himself and began announcing the next steps.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The results of the monthly exam have now been released. Whether you did well or poorly, I hope you can carefully analyze your strengths and weaknesses and identify areas for improvement."

"So, I'm going to announce a few important things to everyone next."

The classroom fell silent.

Old Zhang glanced calmly at the students below the stage: "First thing, next Monday the school will hold your last fun sports meet of your high school career."

"A fun sports meet?" A murmur immediately arose from the audience.

You know, once you're in your senior year of high school, you rarely participate in these kinds of recreational activities, so the fact that the school is holding a fun sports meet is naturally very exciting for everyone.

"right."

Mr. Zhang said, "Considering the intense academic pressure everyone faces in their senior year of high school, the school has specially organized this fun sports meet. All the events are very interesting, and we hope everyone will actively sign up, enjoy the experience, and create a relaxed and enjoyable memory for the end of your high school life!"

"There's a second thing."

Old Zhang paused for a moment: "On the afternoon of the same day that the fun sports meet ends, our grade will hold a '100-Day Countdown Rally for the College Entrance Examination'."

"At the 100-day countdown rally, each class needs to prepare a short performance to showcase the class's spirit and character. Li Ting and the class monitor, you two will be responsible for organizing this. Please come up with a plan as soon as possible."

"Okay, teacher," Li Ting and Lin Shuyue replied at the same time.

As class committee members, these two students are quite responsible.

"Both of these events are important, and I hope everyone takes them seriously. The sports meet is for relaxation and stress relief, while the pep rally is for boosting morale!"

Having given all the instructions, Old Zhang didn't waste any more words and simply picked up his textbook: "Alright, let's begin the lesson."

The sound of pages turning rang out again.

Below the podium, Lu Qian rested his chin on one hand, while unconsciously twirling a pen in the other, showing little interest.

He had participated in plenty of sports meets in his previous life, so whether they were fun or not didn't hold much appeal for him.

As for the program for the rally...

He remembered that in his previous life, his class only did a boring choir performance, and he had no interest in getting involved.

"Troublesome formalism... All this fuss and fuss all day long, it would be better to just give us a break and let us go back and get some more sleep."

He glanced at Zhang Liu, who was already snoring softly again, and felt a little envious.

After all, once you're in your senior year of high school, getting enough sleep is simply a pipe dream.

Only our little Liu was an exception.

Just as they were preparing to attend the lecture...

【Ding! 】

An electronic notification tone appeared without warning.

Lu Qian's hand, which was twirling the pen, stopped instantly.

coming!
