Chapter 31: In the blink of an eye, we've arrived at the final days of high school

Hello, I'm Chen Shihan. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be your home tutor for this vacation.

I think with my ability, no matter which subject, you can ask me for help.

Seeing Li Mingyang's bewildered expression, Chen Shihan simply calmly extended her fair, tender hand; she had long been accustomed to such a situation.

Not only students she has taught, but even many parents show this expression when they first meet her.

Regarding this, Chen Shihan actually feels somewhat indignant in her heart—how come being good-looking doesn't allow one to be a top student?

Hello hello, please give me your guidance in the future, Teacher Chen.

Although Chen Shihan's appearance was somewhat beyond his expectations, Li Mingyang had absolutely no doubt about this person's ability.

After all, before hiring a tutor one would certainly investigate the person's background, and this beautiful woman in front of him can truly be called a genuine top student.

Back when she took the college entrance exam, she was only five points shy of that year's top scorer!

Having reached such a level of study, a mere five‑point gap can be called luck; in other words, this beautiful woman likely has the ability to win the provincial middle‑school exam top scorer.

Moreover, after entering university, she took up tutoring part‑time during vacations; not only did she not lose her high‑school knowledge, she also devoted time to honing her teaching skills.

I think having such a teacher would surely be a great help to my studies, right?

You…… really are a talent!

After learning about Li Mingyang's situation, even if Chen Shihan asks herself, she feels she has already seen many types of students.

But someone like Li Mingyang is truly the first she has ever seen; indeed, it's not an exaggeration to say that if this kid puts in effort to study...

Chen Shihan even suspects that Li Mingyang also has the ability to win the top scorer!

However, although it's a bit late now, as long as his learning ability is sufficiently extraordinary, coping with the upcoming college entrance exam won't be a big problem.

"I've heard your study plan is to start with the sciences, then physics, closely followed by biology, and finally chemistry, right?"

After casually complaining, Chen Shihan didn't wait for Li Mingyang's answer and directly took out a blank A4 sheet, beginning to arrange a study plan based on today's test results.

"Your physics grade is actually pretty good; you only have a few difficult points left, plus some obscure knowledge points that haven't been conquered."

"For this, as long as you do targeted study and strengthen a bit, according to the plan it should take at most one week to finish learning physics."

"As for biology…… I actually don't recommend you waste time on it with a tutor."

"After all, high school biology mainly relies on rote memorization; there aren't many places that require flexibility—if you can remember the knowledge points, you can score high."

"So I suggest you self‑study biology, but your chemistry foundation is really weak; I recommend you finish physics first during this vacation."

"We had better devote all our remaining time to chemistry."

"As for the remaining Chinese and English, that's not something I can teach—not because I'm bad at those subjects, but mainly because they mainly rely on self‑study."

"Chinese needs no saying; for English, as long as you persist in memorizing words, meanwhile get a basic grasp of grammar usage."

"I can't guarantee how high a score you can get, but at least passing or scoring around 100 should be no problem, right?"

"Since that's the case, our vacation study plan is already set: finish physics first, then finally get chemistry under control."

"If you can master these two subjects, I believe your scores can also make a big leap forward from your current foundation."

"By the time school starts, scoring 600 points after all shouldn't be a particularly big problem."

"Even if your learning and acceptance abilities are quite good, I feel you could even score over 600."

"And after school starts there are still three months until the college entrance exam; if you can tighten up and make good use of those three months, I even feel you could very likely become my junior student."

At the end, Chen Shihan couldn't help but blink her eyes a little mischievously.

Although at ordinary times he must put on the dignity of a teacher, in reality he is merely a student after all.

And she is roughly the same age as Li Mingyang, only a little over two years older than him.

Furthermore, after gaining a deep understanding of Li Mingyang's learning ability, Chen Shihan feels they might actually end up as classmates.

Naturally, after having this thought, her inner defenses unconsciously relaxed a bit.

"Alright, then I'll borrow Teacher Chen's auspicious words—hope we can have a day when we meet at school."

Hearing this, Li Mingyang also smiled; originally his plan hadn't aimed at the two highest domestic institutions.

But now, with the home tutor's support, plus Li Mingyang hasn't forgotten he still has 20 points of bonus for the college entrance exam.

It seems it's not impossible to aim our sights at those two schools!

Moreover……

Li Mingyang suddenly thought of something: if he gets into an ordinary prestigious university there wouldn't be much reward, but if he could get into the very top institution...

... then the funding problem for demolishing and rebuilding the old house that the family had been worrying about would surely be solved right away?

Thinking of this, Li Mingyang immediately felt his study motivation strengthen considerably.

Although it's already vacation, for him the vacation is actually the best time to overtake on a curve, right?

He now only needs about four hours of sleep a day; excluding other time, whether eating or personal hygiene, let's count that as two hours.

Even adding occasional rest, another two hours, he still has 16 hours of study time a day!

Using this time to overtake on a curve, striving to enter the nation's top institutions, one might think… it actually isn't such a big problem?

……

"There's still one month until the college entrance exam—are you nervous?"

Although Li Mingyang's academic performance has steadily sat in first place in the class, even opening a gap of nearly 100 points from second place.

But Li Mingyang's seat remains firmly fixed in the last row of the classroom.

After all, Li Mingyang's current grades mainly come from his self‑study, and being at the back of the classroom is actually a peaceful spot where he won't be disturbed.

Even though the homeroom teacher and various subject teachers wanted to give him a good seat, Li Mingyang refused them all.

"Forget it, asking you this guy is pointless—if you could get nervous, that would be weird!"

"You say we were both clearly poor students in sophomore year and did fine, so how come in senior year…… you guy suddenly turned traitor?"

Without waiting for a reply from inside, Luo Yuan opened his mouth again with a resentful look.

Even though one has grown accustomed to Li Mingyang's progress, at the start of this final semester the first month's monthly exam could also be considered a placement test.

Everyone in the class was still badly shocked by Li Mingyang.

Originally, I thought that at the end of last semester a score of 546 was already astonishing, but who would have thought that when school started this guy even put on a Dragon King's return!

He jumped straight from the original 546 points to become a top‑student level figure with 613 points.

Such a score, even when placed across the whole grade, is enough to rank among the top 50!

Although it's just barely hovering around 50th place, being in the top 50 of such a key school still counts as a top student—what else could it be if not a top student?
