Chapter 11

Jinghai City's economy is one of the leading ones in the country. Besides its rapid economic growth, there is also the education in Jinghai City. Of course, these two aspects actually complement each other. The education level in Jinghai City is absolutely the best in the country, with no exception! Every year, countless students from Jinghai City are admitted to the top universities in the country. This ratio is astonishing.

In Jinghai City, there are two top high schools: Jinghai High School and Chaoyang High School.

Inside Jinghai High School, it is as lively as usual. However, the senior year students are not as noisy, as they have only three months left before the college entrance exam.

Tang Yu held the review materials that Liu Xin bought for him and walked towards Class 17 of the senior year. His textbooks were still in the classroom, but he hadn't touched them for a long time.

As Tang Yu walked through the campus, he inevitably attracted many people's comments. Back when Tang Yu, the top student in the middle school entrance exam, and Li Yunting, the second place, started dating after entering high school, it was a widely celebrated story. Many people envied them and regarded them as the perfect couple. However, no one expected that the good times wouldn't last long. Later events made many people sigh, and even more people were happy to see their misfortune.

Tang Yu ignored the comments around him, as these voices had never stopped. He walked straight to the classroom.

"Hey, isn't that Tang Yu?" A girl with a ponytail and wire-rimmed glasses asked. She was one of Tang Yu's admirers back then. Tang Yu was not only handsome but also had excellent grades, with a bright future ahead. Who wouldn't like him?

"Yes, it's him! He finally came to school! However, with so many classes he has missed, it's almost impossible for him to catch up," a pretty girl with loose hair said with a tone of regret.

Xia Shihan came to her seat. Yesterday, she waited until past midnight, but Tang Dynasty's Universe didn't come online, which made her very disappointed. She even wondered if he didn't like her anymore.

Zhang Jing, who was sitting next to her, noticed that Xia Shihan's face was pale and asked with concern, "Shihan, are you feeling unwell today?"

"I..." Xia Shihan paused, thinking that since she had told Zhang Jing, she didn't want to hide it anymore, "Zhang Jing, he didn't come online yesterday..."

"He might be busy with something," Zhang Jing comforted her. She originally wanted to say that online relationships are unreliable, but she was afraid of hurting Xia Shihan's feelings. However, she didn't want her to sink deeper, so she added, "Shihan, let's talk about it after the college entrance exam. By then, we will all be free and relaxed, and that will be the best time for dating."

"Okay!" Xia Shihan nodded, but she knew she was already too deep in it. She felt sad when she didn't chat with him for a day.

Suddenly, she raised her eyes and saw Tang Yu walking into the classroom. Both Xia Shihan and Zhang Jing were stunned. The other students in the class also stared at Tang Yu with wide eyes. Tang Yu smiled, looked at everyone, and then silently walked to his seat.

"Shihan, he's here for class?" Zhang Jing said in surprise.

Xia Shihan was also stunned. She had called Tang Yu's mother yesterday and heard that he would come, but she didn't believe it until now.

Tang Yu walked directly towards Xia Shihan and stood in front of Xia Shihan and Zhang Jing.

"Zhang Jing, can I switch seats with you? As you know, I have missed many classes. The class monitor is the best student in our class, and I have many questions to ask her," Tang Yu smiled at Zhang Jing.

"Ah..." Zhang Jing was taken aback. She didn't know what to do. He wanted to sit next to Xia Shihan? Zhang Jing turned to look at Xia Shihan, who was also at a loss due to this sudden request.

Zhang Jing looked at Tang Yu and then at Xia Shihan. She nodded, "Okay, I'll agree because you saved me and Shihan. But I have two conditions. First, you must study hard and not skip classes again. Second, you must not have any ulterior motives with Shihan." Zhang Jing had promised Xia Shihan to keep her online relationship a secret, so she didn't mention it.

"No problem," Tang Yu smiled and nodded.

Zhang Jing nodded and started to tidy up her desk.

"Zhang Jing." Xia Shihan called out, looking at Zhang Jing. Her heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know what to say.

Zhang Jing held her books and smiled at Xia Shihan, "Shihan, don't worry, I'll be right behind you."

Xia Shihan had no choice but to nod, and Tang Yu also walked over to get his books.

This scene made many people envious. The boys in the class all wanted to sit next to Xia Shihan, the school beauty, but they knew Zhang Jing's personality. She was like a bodyguard, protecting Xia Shihan from any harm. She definitely wouldn't switch seats with them. They never expected Zhang Jing to obediently switch seats with Tang Yu today. Indeed, the cool people get different treatment.

Tang Yu sat down, smelled the fragrance coming from Xia Shihan, and saw the blush on her cheeks because they were sitting together. He smiled and took out his textbook. His current goal was to learn the textbook first. In three months, he had to memorize and understand everything, which he knew was an impossible task, even for someone as smart as him.

Suddenly, Tang Yu felt he needed to have a clear understanding of the gap. He looked at Xia Shihan, "Class monitor, can you help me analyze how I should plan my studies?"

"Ah..." Xia Shihan, who had never sat next to a boy before, especially not Tang Yu, was extremely shy. She hadn't dared to look at Tang Yu until now. When she finally turned to look at him, she found his eyes were very pure, with no trace of any bad intentions. Moreover, Xia Shihan knew that due to the Li Yunting incident, he no longer believed in love, as he had been deeply hurt.

Thinking about this, Xia Shihan felt there was no reason to be shy. She was happy that Tang Yu, whom she had always pitied, had finally returned to study. Why shouldn't she help him?

"Okay. Let me think..." Xia Shihan said gently.

Tang Yu nodded.

After a moment, Xia Shihan opened her moist lips and said, "Tang Yu, for the science subjects, you can study on your own. Math, physics, and chemistry are your strong points. For the humanities subjects, you need to memorize a lot, and there's no other way. So you can't be impatient; you need to take it step by step. After all, you... have missed a lot..."

"Okay... I understand!" Tang Yu nodded, "I'll do my best." As he said this, he felt a bit dejected. He had indeed missed a lot.

Xia Shihan nodded. She knew very well that in three months, while others were sprinting, Tang Yu had to learn new knowledge and catch up with a mountain of missed classes. The humanities subjects required a lot of memorization, and even getting into a junior college seemed challenging.

But she should encourage and support Tang Yu.

"Tang Yu, you have a good foundation, and you will catch up. In the future, I will do my best to help you," Xia Shihan said with a sweet smile. Her smile was like a warm breeze, making people feel very comfortable.

"Thank you, I will work hard," Tang Yu smiled and nodded.

It was the morning reading period, and there was no teacher. Everyone was memorizing the key points of the humanities subjects. Xia Shihan lent her notes to Tang Yu to study.

"Guo Xiaodong, get your ass out here!" At that moment, a loud voice rang out.
