Chapter 1901: Extra: A Brand New Life 16 (Jiang Yue and Xue Yan)
Zhou Ping said, “Are you as fast as Chen Sheng? You better forget it.”
At that moment, Xue Yan spoke up, “I’ll take that bet.”
“What?” Zhou Ping was somewhat slow to react.
Xue Yan repeated, “I’ll take that bet.”
Zhou Ping got it and laughed, “I can’t help but feel you’ve got that fearlessness of a newborn calf that’s not afraid of a tiger, but don’t think that starting over from first grade means you are a first grader. You have started from first-grade textbooks because your grades are obviously very poor. To improve from there, you’ll certainly advance a lot at the beginning. When I just mentioned that your grades improved, I meant that you could make it into the top hundred of our school. Our school isn’t that great; the university admission rate is very low, the worst in Yun City every year. Generally, only about the top hundred can hope to get university admission letters. Sometimes, only a few dozen get them. The lowest year, only twenty people received university admission letters.”
“Fine,” Xue Yan nodded, “the day I make it into the top hundred of the entire school, you have to study hard regardless of whether you can get into a university or not.” At this stage, many students need a helping hand.
After so many years of studying, how many of them don’t want to go to university?
Basically, they all do.
But for one reason or another, they fail to get in. Since he had seen it, naturally, he would help wherever he could. Although getting into university doesn’t completely prove anything, at least it offers more choices for the future.
He didn’t want the kid to regret it later.
Right, kid.
Having lived to a ripe old age in Da Ling, to him, whether it was Chen Sheng or the Zhou Ping before him, they were all just kids.
After all, Zhou Ping had only given up completely because he was sure he wouldn’t get into a university, not because he didn’t want to.
Zhou Ping treated it as a game and immediately said, “It’s a deal!”
But Chen Sheng and Yao Xi were a bit dumbfounded, “Are you guys really betting?”
Before Xue Yan and Zhou Ping could answer, Yao Xi added, “It’s actually good this way. If I personally witness someone with such poor basics improving by so much, then I’ll also have the confidence to keep trying, especially since it’s just the last year anyway.”
Hearing this, Chen Sheng didn’t say that he was just joking with Zhou Ping and didn’t want them to bet anymore. Instead, he patted Xue Yan and Zhou Ping on the shoulder, “Since it’s like this, go ahead with your bet. I also want to see some hope.”
Although he was an athlete, he wasn’t yet outstanding enough for colleges to overlook his academic scores completely, so he had to achieve a certain level of academic performance. Though not high, he hadn’t reached the required total score in any of the tests he had taken so far.
In fact, he had become somewhat disheartened a while ago.
The only thing keeping him going was his real desire to get into university and his dream of becoming a PE teacher in the future.
The last evening self-study session ended early; they spread out the desks and scrambled the order, planning to take the test in this arrangement the next day.
During the evening self-study, because their seats were far apart, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t get to talk much.
They also couldn’t walk together after the self-study session.
But thinking that his Yue Bao hadn’t eaten much for dinner, Xue Yan let Chen Sheng and the others go back to their dorm first, then he went to the canteen and bought a Jianbing guozi and a cup of Double Skin Milk.
It wasn’t until he reached the girls’ dormitory that he called his Yue Bao to come down and pick it up.
After Jiang Yue took the Jianbing guozi and Double Skin Milk back to her room, the others saw it and couldn’t help feeling envious, though Jiang Yue just smiled and didn’t say much.
