Lin Jiadong recalled how his second brother-in-law got up early to make breakfast for him and couldn’t help replying, "My brother-in-law is great. We’re here for training and learning, not to play around. Li Youmin, you should focus on your studies and aim for a good ranking in the exam."
After speaking, Lin Jiadong no longer paid attention to Li Youmin and directly opened his book.
Even if the teacher hadn’t officially started the class, they could read on their own.
Li Youmin pouted, knowing that Lin Jiadong was second in the province and indeed had a chance to get a good rank.
He himself ranked tenth in the province, which was pretty low. Participating in a national elite competition, he didn’t even dare to dream of getting a rank; he was here just for the experience.
It would be even better if he could meet a few more people.
These were all elite students from various schools; in the future, they might all achieve great things.
Lin Jiadong had just turned two pages of his book when he heard another whispering sound, causing him to frown.
He heard Li Youmin whispering with two other newly acquainted classmates, "Look at that, the girl who just came in. I heard that among the ten of us this time, there are only three girls. The one with the best grades is from City No.1 Middle School, the very one who just came in. She reportedly made it into the top three. People from the city do seem different and she is beautiful, truly a combination of beauty and wisdom. Hey, do you think if we talk to her later, she’ll respond to us?"
Lin Zhi hesitantly said, "Probably, after all, we’re all here for the national competition, aren’t we? We’re comrades from the same province."
"I don’t think so," Xu Cheng added, "From what I know about girls, girls like her don’t often talk to people, especially guys. They tend to be aloof, and judging from her clothing, she’s definitely not from an ordinary family and might look down on us who come from the countryside."
"You don’t say, her outfit is quite nice. It’s a style never seen in our county. Why isn’t she wearing the City No.1 Middle School uniform? Don’t they have uniforms?" Li Youmin asked.
Uniforms, huh? Ancheng First High School didn’t even have them, couldn’t even imagine.
Rumor had it that a set costs dozens, even if they did have them, students probably couldn’t afford them.
"Who knows what she’s thinking," Lin Zhi said and urged, "Let’s get back to reading, the teacher will be here soon."
With silence around him, Lin Jiadong looked up and saw Hu Yaping finding a seat.
Yesterday she wore City No.1 Middle School’s uniform, but today she wore her own clothes.
There were only ten of them for this training session: three girls and seven boys.
Most of the people had arrived by now, and two of the earlier girls had already sat together.
The taller boys chose to sit at the back by themselves. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Lin Jiadong, nearly 1.8 meters tall, was considered tall among them.
Li Youmin sat in the same row as him, with Lin Zhi and Xu Cheng behind them.
However, there were still many empty seats in the classroom.
If Li Youmin hadn’t waved him over, Lin Jiadong might have sat by himself.
As for Li Youmin, he usually enjoyed studying at school.
But now he seemed to have changed completely, being so boisterous, unlike someone here to study.
While thinking, a figure flashed across his front, and someone sat in front of him.
It was Hu Yaping.
His sleeve was tugged, and he saw Li Youmin next to him winking and making faces.
Lin Jiadong frowned, withdrew his arm, and continued reading with his head down.
..................
At noon, when Qin Yang returned from work, he brought back various fruits.
He bought three kinds of pears: white pear, Chinese pear, and red pear.
Also, tangerines, persimmons, sugar cane, and bananas.
Seeing him carrying several bags of fruits, Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh, "Did you buy all the fruits you could find in the market?"
