Li Heng found the idiot and asked: "Where is your application form? Let me see it."

Zhang Zhiyong waved his hands: "I've already handed it in."

Li Heng asked: "You already handed it in? Where did you fill out?"

Zhang Zhiyong said: "Beijing Forestry University."

Li Heng asked: "What's your second choice?"

Zhang Zhiyong twisted his mouth: "No need to ask. I filled it out according to your model; the second choice is naturally Shanghai."

Li Heng was speechless; this guy really was a bit stubborn.

However, thinking about it carefully, with Old Yong's grades of around 210th in the whole school in the three mock exams, Beijing Forestry University still had some hope.

After all, Class 204 gathered the top students of the whole city. Even if this blockhead was at the bottom of the class, he was in the upper-middle tier in the school. But at least he was a bit stronger than the top students of ordinary high schools in the counties below.

Of course, this could only be limited to "ordinary." Like the top talents in the county's First High School, they were also Tsinghua and Peking University material, not something the idiot could compare to.

Zou Aiming was very tacit, and also filled out Renmin University.

When Zou Aiming and Liu Li learned of each other's filled-out applications, there were indescribable sparks in both their eyes.

Zou Aiming hummed twice and deliberately said sinisterly: "Liu Li, right? It seems we are destined to have a contest of muscle strength in university."

Liu Li was open-minded and replied listlessly: "Let's get into the university first. If we don't get in, then by that time, we won't even see a shadow, and it will just benefit others."

Zou Aiming didn't speak for a long time after hearing this, and then said sentimentally: "That's true. With our grades, we really have to grit our teeth and sprint one more time."

Li Heng comforted him from the side: "Actually, it's okay. With your grades, there's still a lot of hope."

At least they were in the top 15 in liberal arts. If they didn't even have hope of filling out Renmin University, then what kind of key school key class was that?

Liu Yejiang—don't know if he was stubborn or if it went to his head and he couldn't lose face—damn it, he really filled out Peking University.

Teacher Wang Qi finished reading the application and immediately called this fool to the office for a two-hour greeting.

But Liu Yejiang wouldn't listen to persuasion at all; he was determined to fill out Peking University.

It made the homeroom teacher helpless. Being angered, she first scolded him severely, then called the school leadership, and even ran to his home personally to invite his parents.

After two days of trouble, in the end, it was only under his mother's crying and begging that he changed his application and filled out Renmin University instead.

Teacher Wang Qi was depressed again. Why were there four top students in the class filling out Renmin University? Was Renmin University that popular?

Upon learning this news, Zou Aiming and Liu Li felt even more uncomfortable, as if they had eaten shit.

Zou Aiming even gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Li, how about when we have the weekend break, we cover our faces and break this idiot's legs? It's too damn annoying. Thinking that I have to see this piece of shit in university makes my food taste bad."

Liu Li smacked his lips: "It is indeed annoying, but that's a crime."

No surprises, Teacher Wang Qi called Chen Lijun, Liu Li, Zou Aiming, and Liu Yejiang into the office one by one, wanting to persuade one or two of them to change their applications.

For example, change to Fudan.

For example, Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

All of them were fine; the grade wasn't worse than Renmin University.

As a result, Liu Li, Zou Aiming, and Liu Yejiang were at a stalemate, none of them convinced by the other, insisting on filling out Renmin University.

Chen Lijun was even less willing to change; she had admired Renmin University for a long time and had always used this school as her goal.

Seeing this, Teacher Wang Qi waved his hand, signaling them to roll back to the class. The college entrance exam was coming up soon, and he didn't want to destroy the students' state of mind at the last moment; that would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

Teacher Yang of Class 205, who had watched the whole process, laughed loudly and ridiculed Wang Qi as usual:

"Jingcheng Lao Wang, it's still your discipline that isn't strict. Look at your class: Li Heng likes Song Yu and is following her to take the exam for Peking University.

Now there's this 'three dragons playing with a phoenix' drama. What kind of decorum is this? It's simply moral corruption."

Teacher Wang Qi originally wanted to smoke, but stopped his hand upon hearing this: "Is Li Heng really dating Song Yu?"

Teacher Yang shook his head: "I don't dare to judge that; it's not good to talk nonsense. I just heard a bit when I was chatting with your class's Chinese teacher just now."

The Chinese teacher was the dean of students.

Teacher Wang Qi pondered for a while and said: "Go back to your own office. I want to talk to Li Heng."

Teacher Yang was shameless and wouldn't leave: "You talk your talk; I won't delay things. Let me watch the fun; this scene isn't seen often."

Wang Qi knew his personality. Seeing he couldn't be driven away, he stopped talking nonsense and walked to the classroom door. First, he gave everyone in the classroom a death stare until everyone was silent and shivering, then he shouted at Li Heng with satisfaction:

"Li Heng, come to my office for a moment."

Li Heng was reviewing history for the second half of the second year. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and thought of that howl from the idiot.

So he wrote a note to his deskmate: "If I die, please collect my body for me."

After writing, he quietly placed the note on the textbook Song Yu was opening, got up, and entered the 'Eunuch's' office.

After reading the note, Song Yu instantly understood what he meant and guessed that the homeroom teacher was probably looking for him because of her.

"Teacher, Teacher."

Li Heng greeted the two teachers politely.

Wang Qi pointed to an empty chair next to him and said: "Close the door and come sit."

Closing the door, Li Heng didn't stand on ceremony and sat on the rattan chair opposite, then calmly accepted the scrutiny of the two teachers.

Teacher Wang Qi continued to light the cigarette he had just been holding, smoking it puff by puff, smoke curling, but his eyes remained on Li Heng.

This was the 'Eunuch's' usual trick.

First, don't talk to you, use this silent and oppressive way to exert power, and then ensure that the subsequent conversation can achieve the desired effect.

Teacher Yang of Class 205 couldn't hold back and, after sizing him up, said: "Jingcheng Lao Wang, don't say, your class really is full of talent.

This little guy Li Heng is more refined than before, his temperament seems to have been reborn. Is it my illusion?"

Teacher Wang Qi flicked the ash with his little finger: "Shouldn't be wrong; the temperament is indeed better. Otherwise, before this semester was even over, I had already intercepted 7 love letters."

Li Heng: "..."

Taking another puff of the cigarette, Teacher Wang Qi asked: "Do you know why I called you here?"

Li Heng shook his head.

Wang Qi asked: "Have any girls shown you favor recently?"

Li Heng still shook his head.

Li Heng asked again: "Then have you shown favor to any other girls?"

Li Heng: "..."

Although they both knew it, he couldn't admit it directly: "No."

Teacher Wang Qi shifted the rattan chair under his butt, moved closer, and said: "Other classes are spreading rumors that you like Song Yu. Is there such a thing?"

Li Heng played dumb: "Ah? Is there such a thing? There's no such thing. If there are rumors, it must be because they envy me and Song Yu being deskmates."

Teacher Wang Qi looked at him for a while and then said: "Then how about this: go back to the classroom, change seats with Sun Manning, you sit with Mai Sui, and let Song Yu sit with Sun Manning."

This move was fatal. Li Heng instantly lost his cool and showed weakness: "Don't, Teacher, don't. The college entrance exam is coming up soon; changing deskmates so easily will affect our state of mind."

Teacher Wang Qi smiled: "Then do you like Song Yu or not?"

Seeing the two teachers looking at him with smiles, Li Heng pondered for a moment and asked: "If I like her, will you not change it?"

Teacher Yang pointed his finger at him: "Look, the fox's tail is finally showing. I said this kid isn't honest and must be up to something with Song Yu."

Perhaps because the college entrance exam was approaching, or perhaps because Li Heng and Song Yu were both top students, Wang Qi changed his usual serious attitude and said earnestly:

"Liking is fine, but you must promise me that you are not allowed to disturb her before the college entrance exam. Anyway, it's been this long; you just hold on a bit longer. Can you do that?"

Since it had come to this, Li Heng couldn't treat the teacher like a fool anymore. He nodded and said seriously: "Old Ban, don't worry, I know what to do."

"Sigh."

Seeing him state his position, Teacher Wang Qi suddenly relaxed a lot, took another puff of the cigarette, and said: "You two, one has a temperament like an orchid, the other is refined and polite; you are truly a talented man and a beautiful woman. If you can both get into Peking University and have a romantic encounter in university, it would truly be a beautiful story.

I think all the teachers will bless you, so in this final period, you must work harder and sprint; don't slack off."

In the past, with others, he wouldn't have been this easy to talk to; he would have just broken up the couple directly.

But now, Teacher Wang Qi chose to compromise and adapt according to the person and the time, changing to mainly using gentle persuasion.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

This "thank you" was sincere and heartfelt from Li Heng.

Over the past few years, Teacher Wang Qi had been very fond of him. For the same thing, he would scold others until they were bloody, but he had always been gentle and soft-spoken to him. Human hearts are made of flesh; how could he not tell the difference?

After the matter of Song Yu passed, the two teachers began to talk at length about the goodness of Peking University, aiming to stimulate his fighting spirit.

This conversation lasted a long time, about 20 minutes. When Li Heng returned, Song Yu hesitated for a moment and wrote a note to ask: "The teacher didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Li Heng replied: "Yes, he doesn't allow me to disturb you in high school, told me to launch an offensive in university. Hmm, said he's quite optimistic about us."

Song Yu: "..."

She realized she shouldn't have asked such a caring question.

This person was like he had grown thousands of hearts; his ability to seize every opportunity was already perfect.

She was thinking, where did the shy and introverted Li Heng from before go?

Why was there such a big change this semester?

Could it really be that after Zijin went to the capital, he unleashed his nature?

The weather in June was getting hotter and hotter.

As the college entrance exam drew closer day by day, the school stopped morning exercises and eye exercises. I don't know when it started, but an invisible pressure permeated the entire third-year department, pressing down so hard that everyone couldn't breathe.

At this time, the atmosphere seemed to be divided into two extremes.

The hardworking became even harder. They recited books in class, recited them after class, recited them while walking, and were still reciting while eating and sleeping. The neurotic, non-stop learning state made those students who were originally lacking in confidence even more panicked. There was no other way; for the sake of their future, they finally had to grit their teeth and join the ranks of the ascetics.

And contrary to the hard work, the number of people walking and playing basketball on the playground suddenly increased. Some were relieving pressure, and there were also some boys and girls who didn't dare to get too close on weekdays, perhaps feeling that if they didn't take the initiative now, they wouldn't have a chance later, and suddenly became intimate.

Sure enough, Li Heng, Song Yu, and Mai Sui also encountered a similar situation. For several days in a row, every time they opened their desks, there were love letters. I don't know what channels those people used to pass them in?

It felt like they had supernatural powers, even more damn awesome than Sun Wukong, who could perform seventy-two transformations.

Teacher Wang Qi, who played the scout every day, was now facing a formidable enemy. Every morning, he would be the first to come to the classroom to check the desks and books of the three, and several times they caught him in the act.

At this time, the 'Eunuch' would just glance awkwardly, then continue to flip through books as if no one was around.

On the busiest day, 2 letters were found in Li Heng's books, 2 in Song Yu's, and 2 for Mai Sui.

Teacher Wang Qi raised the 6 letters of different colors in his hand and said triumphantly to the three as if he had won a battle:

"Hey, if you want them, come find me after the college entrance exam. I'll help you keep them safe first."

Song Yu and Mai Sui stood to the side without speaking, quietly watching the old teacher perform.

Only Li Heng said: "Teacher, can Song Yu's letters be given to me together at that time?"

Wang Qi turned his head to look at Song Yu and smiled, pointing at Li Heng: "You kid, you're the one with the most intercepted letters."

Teacher Wang Qi didn't say he agreed, nor did he say he didn't agree, but Li Heng took it as agreed and immediately kept the matter in mind.

When the teacher left, Mai Sui asked curiously: "Why do you want Song Yu's letters?"

Facing Song Yu's gaze, Li Heng said frankly: "No reason, just don't want to give others a chance to get close."

Mai Sui smiled tenderly: "I know, I'm afraid you just want to eat alone."

Li Heng blinked and defaulted.

Song Yu stared into his eyes and watched quietly for a while. She didn't oppose his initiative, just took a yellowish-brown registered letter out of her bag and gave it to him.

"Whose?" Li Heng asked subconsciously.

Song Yu replied calmly: "Zijin's."

Seeing his face fall instantly, she rarely smiled knowingly: "She wrote me one too."

He had just said he wanted to eat Song Yu alone, and then he was slapped in the face by Chen Zijin's letter. Li Heng's old face turned red.

He took the letter and muttered in a low voice: "I just showed off to someone, couldn't you have waited a while before giving it to me? This is intentionally undermining me; a bit sad."

Song Yu looked at him with a faint smile in her eyes, pondered for a while, and then took a box of food out of her schoolbag and handed it to him.

And attached a note: "Zijin also asked me to make this for you."

Li Heng leaned in and smelled it. Before opening the lunch box, he knew it was chicken inside. He wrote: "Did you make it yourself?"

Song Yu replied: "No, Mom made it for me."

Li Heng wrote: "Does Auntie know it's for me?"

Song Yu calmed down for a few seconds, put the note away, and didn't reply.
