So Exhausting (1)

After senior year, life became a lot less fun and the autumn trip in September became the last fun memory before all hell broke loose.

On New Year’s Eve that year, the school held its usual lively New Year’s Eve party, but the seniors didn’t participate much and only a few classes signed up to perform.

The students onstage were just as energetic as they were in the past, with various daring and exciting performances. However, they didn’t have the same unique and hilarious stage-shows that had set the audience alight last year.

In this year’s selection of the best performance, the number of votes for the first place gymnastics and the second place class skit were tied, unlike last year when the difference between first and second place was over 900 votes.

The video of <<Yes, Ok>> was still on the top of the school post, with the four seniors’ long legs and slender waists swaying in the video, flaming red lips, and long hair, causing the incoming juniors to go into a bit of a trance every time they watched it.

— The handsome Fu Songhua leading every morning exercise energetically on the platform, the student council president Qin Yuan, and the carefree Class 9 sports representative – were those really the hot dancing beauties in the video?

The most beautiful and delicate crossdresser in the video was the one you wouldn’t usually meet at school.

According to Fang Li, after taking the provincial art exams, he took a lot of time off during the two months before and after the New Year to go to several art academies of his choice to audition for the school exams.

The final exams were due in early January, and the entire senior students were cautious and in a tense atmosphere.

Most classes had finished their progress, the competition classes had already completed the entire senior year, and even the slowest and most regular classes had rushed to complete all the exam knowledge points. After this exam and a short ten-day symbolic Lunar New Year winter break, the senior year was nearly over.

When they returned to school, it was time to go all-out in preparation for the first mock exam for the college entrance exam.

Snow started to fall from the sky, the classroom windows were shut tight, and the outer glass was hazy and covered with layers of crystalline ice.

The exam room had the heater on and the room temperature was relatively high. Many students took off their thick school uniforms. The classroom was filled with signature pens rustling across test papers.

Ruan Qingmu was so hot that he removed his school uniform jacket, revealing his beige jumper inside. He had a long neck, so Mu Wanli was fond of buying him a turtleneck jumper that did not look good on people with short necks, but on a long neck like Ruan Qingmu’s, it gave him a  more handsome and picturesque look.

The invigilator patrolled back and forth at the back row. Her eyes became a bit kinder when her eyes settled on Ruan Qingmu in the last row.

No teacher disliked a child who studied well and often favored those who improved quickly and learned from their mistakes. The invigilator was an old lady, the chemistry teacher of the competition class that Ruan Qingmu had initially forced himself into.

At that time, she was deeply impressed by this underachiever who had left after only a month and even reprimanded him sternly. But now, after a year and a half, this name had not only faded into oblivion but had now become even more famous.

Although he was always fighting and beating people up, he had won the gold medal in the school sports competition with a class of underachievers to work with. He was usually lazy and didn’t seem to care about anything at all, but he had improved his grades from the bottom 600 or 700 to the top 100 quickly.

In all her years of teaching, she had met many students who had made significant progress, but few of them had reached this kind of level.

She liked a child with good grades and an ability to improve, no matter what kind of background or upbringing they had.

… Ruan Qingmu tilted his head and silently checked the test papers twice while unconsciously fondling a jade pendant hanging outside his jumper.

It was made of mutton fat jade, with a few patches of dark red, pretty colored date skin on white, jade-like skin, carved in the form of Pisces, a rare object at first glance.

On Ruan Qingmu’s birthday last year, Qin Yuan took a small red sandalwood box and gave it to him solemnly.

Ruan Qingmu had experienced all kinds of good things in his previous life, but when he opened the box, his hand shook, and he almost dropped it.

It was similar to the one Qin Yuan had worn in his previous life.

In fact, that jade pendant only looked familiar to him. The first time he saw it, he grabbed it and ran away. The second time he saw it, it had already been buried with him under the yellow sand and he didn’t have time to look at it.

He remembered the first few times Qin Yuan pursued and hunted him, and he had no choice but to be tangled with him for a long time. In one of the close fights, Qin Yuan cut off his hair crown and he took advantage of the situation to snatch the Pisces jade pendant hanging on his waist, triumphantly turning around and running away.

But to his surprise, Qin Yuan was furious and did not relent, chasing him for a long time. Before it had even warmed up, it was snatched back by force.

Tch. Although the jade pendant was a bit precious, Qin’s family had many valuable items, so why should he be so stingy?
