Chapter 174 - 174 Study Hard
174 Study Hard
“Well, based on what I know, the overall performance of Linxi High School students should be the best in M City, followed by our school. But the students in their school really study hard. Under the condition that their hardware facilities are far inferior to ours, they managed to surpass us in the quality and number of university admissions.”
Chu Ning said with some emotion. She actually admired those students who worked hard in their studies. Family factors could not restrict their growth; after a certain extent of accumulation, they would soar.
Chu Ning felt that Chu Zhe was such a person. Although the process of growing up was somewhat torturous and sad, these difficulties had instead tempered his tenacious character.
“Yes, that’s why they can work so hard. Why can’t I?” Luo Yu answered Chu Ning as she wrote on draft paper.
“Alright, then I won’t disturb you from your studies. Rest early.”
Chu Ning then walked to the bathroom and began to wash up. Until Chu Ning went to sleep, Luo Yu did not move at all as she sat at the table.
The next morning, when Chu Ning woke up, Luo Yu had already gotten up. She was so considerate that she did not even open the curtains, and was just quietly studying.
“Chu Ning, you’re awake!” Luo Yu smiled gently when she saw Chu Ning rubbing her sleepy eyes and sitting up on the bed.
“Yes… Luo Yu, what time did you sleep last night? You’re up so early. Aren’t you tired?” Chu Ning was a little impressed by her. Before she had gone to sleep, she had been studying. When she opened her eyes, she was still studying…
“I can’t sleep, so I might as well wake early.” Luo Yu closed the book and stretched, displaying her beautiful figure before Chu Ning.
“It’s fine if you’re good-looking, but you’re additionally so hardworking. How are you going to let the people around you carry on?” Chu Ning teased with a smile.
“That doesn’t include you, right, school belle Chu?” Luo Yu was in a good mood as well, so she joked with Chu Ning.
After the two had washed up, they walked out of the room and headed to the cafeteria for breakfast. When Song Gui saw Chu Ning, he jogged over with excitement written all over his face.
“Chu Ning, you’re here. The method you mentioned last night really worked. Look at Ye Ting. She’s eating quite well now, and she didn’t tell me that she wants to switch to the Presidential Suite. You’ve cured her princess syndrome.”
Song Gui softly said, hinting at Chu Ning to look in Ye Ting’s direction.
“Well, as long as the method works. But the number of people eating breakfast here today seems to be much less than last night?”
Chu Ning asked curiously, looking at the large cafeteria.
“You don’t know about this, right? Speaking of which, I’m also speechless. I’ve spoke with a group leader of another high school. It’s past eight o’clock now, but their students had already come here for breakfast at around six o’clock. Now, they’re all studying in their rooms. It’s obviously not just this high school. But our school… Well, most of them are indeed not as diligent nor eager to learn.”
Song Gui mentioned this fact somewhat powerlessly. Nothing could be done. Even if the students who came to take the exam were already outstanding enough, the difference in their families of origin made it such that they did not particularly cherish their time. Furthermore, Jingyuan High School was an aristocratic school. They would not deliberately instill in these students the concept that they would end up at the bottom of society if they did not study hard.
“Luo Yu also got up rather early. If she hadn’t been afraid that the sound of washing would disturb me, she would have come here already,” Chu Ning said as she picked out food and placed it on her plate.
“That is very rare. I’m really not sure now. Chu Ning, even in our small M City, the competition among the high schools is so intense. What would happen if the competition was expanded to a province? And now, this competition is nationwide. I dare say that there will definitely be people who will study desperately.”
When Song Gui said this, there was a faint sense of helplessness in his tone. In any case, he did not have much hope of winning an award.
“It’s hard to say. Anything is possible.” Chu Ning patted Song Gui’s shoulder. She walked away after saying this.
She still did not see Yan Shen at breakfast. Other than curiosity, Chu Ning did not feel anything else. However, Luo Yu was different; she was starting to worry.
Although she hoped that she was worrying needlessly, Luo Yu and Yan Shen were in the same class. Naturally, she paid more attention to him than Chu Ning did. She could feel that Yan Shen was not the same as usual.
