Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 38 Strange Boy

The next two days passed peacefully. On Thursday, the monthly exams for the new month of Meiji Junior High School officially began. The monthly exams for Meiji Junior High School are separate for arts and science. Students in the arts class take arts subjects, while students in the science class take science subjects for the college entrance examination.

There are fewer subjects, so all the exams can be completed in two days, Thursday and Friday.

For monthly exams, like midterm and final exams, exam seats will be arranged according to grades.

Xu Chuning was the top student in the liberal arts class and sat in the first seat in Class 1, while Shen Sinian was a transfer student. Transfer students did not have test scores yet, so they all sat in the last classroom.

"You're going to Class 1 for the exam?" Knowing that Xu Chuning was going to Class 1, Shen Sinian was a little worried. "Will the students in Crazy Lai's class deliberately break the table to retaliate against you?"

Hearing Shen Sinian's concerns, Xu Chu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You think too much, it won't happen."

Shen Sinian was eating breakfast. He thought for a moment, looked at Xu Chuning and said, "I'm still a little worried. I'll take you to class one later, and then I'll go to my own exam room."

Xu Chu Ning: "...It's up to you."

The two agreed to go to school together after breakfast.

On the way to school, Xu Chu Ning belatedly asked, "Why aren't you with him today?"

"I asked him," Shen Sinian said unhappily, "I said I wanted to go to the store for breakfast, but he refused me."

Xu Chuning: "Oh."

Shen Sinian tilted his head, looked at Xu Chuning's calm face, and rubbed his short black hair in confusion, "Ningning, did you really not have a fight?"

He counted on his fingers and found that the two hadn't spoken to each other for more than a week.

Xu Chu Ning: "No, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Sinian: "...you guys think too much."

He said "childish words without restraint".

Xu Chuning: “…”

If you think about what Shen Sinian said carefully, it actually makes sense.

However, Xu Chu Ning did not pay too much attention to it. She walked into the school with him, went to the classroom to get the stationery needed for the exam, and then walked to Class 1 together.

The students at school were all nervous about the exams, and no one paid much attention to the combination of Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian.

After sending Xu Chuning to the classroom, Shen Sinian gave her a few words of advice before walking towards his own examination room.

Shen Sinian originally thought that he was late enough to arrive at the examination room three minutes in advance. He never expected that the last examination room was full of experienced students, and there were more than ten students who arrived on time with the invigilator.

"Classmate," a boy who came in on time and sat next to him raised his chin slightly towards him, "You were the last one last time?"

He looked at Shen Sinian: "Why haven't I seen you before?"

Shen Sinian gave him a cold look and said, "I'm a transfer student."

"Are you the transfer student?" the boy with a crew cut exclaimed, "The one from Class 6?"

Shen Sinian: "Yes, what can I do for you?"

"Fuck!" The boy was shocked. "You were the one who beat up Zhao Hu?"

Hearing this familiar name, Shen Sinian raised his eyelids, "Are you his friend?"

"I'm his uncle," the boy next to him said, "Let me introduce myself. You beat up Zhao Hu, so you're my brother from now on. My name is Yu Gaoyi, what's your name, brother?"

Shen Sinian raised his eyebrows, "Shen Sinian."

"Why is your name so literary?" Yu Gaoyi was a little confused.

Shen Sinian raised his eyelids and said in a cold tone: "My mother named it, do you have any objection?"

Yu Gaoyi: “…”

Noticing the two chatting, the invigilator coughed and said, "Be quiet. I'm handing out the test papers now. Do the test if you know how to do it. If you don't know how to do it, don't disturb other students and just sleep well."

The invigilator knew the level of the students in the last exam room and never had high hopes for them.

They just prayed that these students would behave themselves and be quiet during the exam.

"..."

The exam officially began. Under the invigilator's glare, Yu Gaoyi didn't dare to say a word for the time being.

The first exam was in Chinese.

Shen Sinian took the test paper, flipped through it, picked up the pen on the side and started answering.

Yu Gaoyi wrote his name on the side, finished all the multiple-choice questions first, and then began to spin the pen out of boredom. When he turned his head inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of the test paper on which Shen Sinian had written a lot of content.

Yu Gaoyi paused, narrowed his eyes and sighed - the transfer student was so naive, he didn't think that if he wrote more, the teacher would give him good marks, right?

He really underestimated the strictness of the teachers at Meiji Junior High School.

Shen Sinian didn't know that Yu Gaoyi had so many thoughts about his ability to do the Chinese test. He told Shen Yubai that he was the top student in the grade, and he wasn't bragging, his academic performance was really good.

In his first year of high school, Shen Sinian completed all high school courses.

Yu Gaoyi thought Shen Sinian and he had similar academic performance simply because Shen Sinian was better at fighting than he was. He had an inherent concept that a student like Shen Sinian who was good at fighting would definitely not have good academic performance.

"No way, brother," Yu Gaoyi couldn't help but lower his voice when he noticed that Shen Sinian had already started writing, "You can actually write an essay?"

Shen Sinian glanced at him and said, "Isn't writing an essay very simple?"

Yu Gaoyi: “…”

He looked at him, then said quietly, "Forget it, just write it. It will at least give you some points for your paper."

"..."

After the Chinese exam, it was time for lunch.

Friendships between boys are strange and develop quickly.

Shen Sinian was just thinking about whether to go to Xu Chuning for lunch or to Shen Yubai, when Yu Gaoyi put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Brother, let's have lunch together? Can you tell me about the time you beat up Zhao Hu?"

When Shen Sinian and Zhao Hu were fighting, Yu Gaoyi was injured and resting at home, so he took a week off.

If not for this, he wouldn't have met Shen Sinian just now.

Hearing this, Shen Sinian was puzzled, "What is there to say?"

Yu Gaoyi: "Hey, how come there isn't? I want to know what Zhao Hu looked like after you beat him up. Is it really like what other students said, that he was bruised and in tears?"

Shen Sinian: “…”

He was speechless for a few seconds, "Do you have a grudge against Zhao Hu?"

"Yes," Yu Gaoyi said, "We are mortal enemies."

Shen Sinian choked up a little, "I'll tell you next time. I'm going to have dinner with my classmates."

Yu Gaoyi said with a little regret, "You have an appointment?"

Shen Sinian: “Yeah.”

Yu Gaoyi sighed, "Okay."

Suddenly, he asked Shen Sinian again, "Do you and your classmates mind having one more person?"

Shen Sinian was silent for a moment, thinking of what Xu Chuning had said to him before, that he hoped he could make more friends and get to know more people here, and nodded, "Let's go together."

The two walked towards Class 6. When they saw Shen Sinian talking to a pretty girl and then walking out with her, Yu Gaoyi was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Brother, your classmate is a girl?"

Shen Sinian: "What's the problem?"

Yu Gaoyi: “…No.”

He secretly gave Shen Sinian a thumbs up, "Awesome."

He just transferred here and he's already dating such a beautiful girlfriend. He's worthy of being the one who can beat Zhao Hu up.

Shen Sinian didn't know what Yu Gaoyi was thinking. They walked towards the cafeteria together. It was a bit surprising that Shen Yubai also came to the cafeteria to eat today.

As luck would have it, they ran into each other face to face at the cafeteria entrance.

Seeing the strange boy standing next to Xu Chuning, Shen Yubai frowned slightly.
