Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

On a bright and sunny day, Yan Qianqian and Yan Jie rode in an exquisite carriage that slowly came to a stop before the Shangshufang. The moment the two stepped down from the carriage, they heard a clear and cheerful cry: "Qianqian—"

Looking toward the sound, they saw a figure running quickly toward them. It was Ai Jiao. After not seeing him for some time, he had grown much taller, and his originally somewhat childish features had opened up considerably, making him look increasingly handsome.

Seeing Ai Jiao running over, a brilliant smile immediately bloomed on Yan Qianqian's face as she enthusiastically replied, "Ai Jiao!" Beside her, Yan Jie obediently shouted, "Elder Brother Ai Jiao!" Ai Jiao smiled and patted Yan Jie's head, responding, "Little Yan Jie!"

After exchanging greetings, the three walked inside chatting and laughing. As they walked, Ai Jiao suddenly looked curiously at Yan Qianqian and asked, "Qianqian, I heard that Elder Brother Yan Wang won't be coming to the Shangshufang anymore, so what is he preparing to do?"

Yan Qianqian blinked her lively big eyes and replied, "Fourth Elder Brother is going to the Jun Ying!" Hearing this, Ai Jiao's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked excitedly and expectantly, "Can Elder Brother Yan Wang really enter the Jun Ying? Then when I graduate from the Shangshufang, can I go too? Which Jun Ying is he going to?"

Facing Ai Jiao's rapid-fire questions, Yan Qianqian shook her head and said, "I don't know. Last night after dinner, Father called Fourth Elder Brother away, and I don't know what they said. But I'll ask when I go back today!"

As they chatted, they unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the Qi Meng Ban.

Yan Qianqian subconsciously raised her foot to step in, but Ai Jiao, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed her. "Qianqian, you're a student of the Sixian Ban now, don't go to the wrong place!"

Saying this, Ai Jiao also mischievously winked at her. Yan Qianqian quickly said, "Yes, look at my memory, I actually forgot completely. Little brother, you go in first, and Elder Sister will go to the class next door." Yan Jie nodded obediently and then walked in with light steps.

At the same time, Yan Qianqian and Ai Jiao held hands and turned back together. In a short while, they returned to the Sixian Ban they had just left. The two entered the classroom side by side, and as soon as they stepped across the threshold, they heard a clear and pleasant cry: "Qianqian, Ai Jiao, over here, over here!"

Following the sound, they saw Qi Xi sitting upright in her seat. She extended her right hand, pointing respectively to two empty seats to the left and front, and called out to them both with a beaming smile.

Seeing Qi Xi greet them so warmly, Yan Qianqian and Ai Jiao beamed with joy and responded cheerfully in unison, "Xi Xi!" Although they had arrived at a brand-new class, what was pleasing was that the three good friends could still sit closely together.

At this moment, all three were in exceptionally high spirits, as if they had endless things to confide to each other.

Yan Qianqian turned her head, her gaze falling on Qi Xi beside her. After two years of growth, Qi Xi had not only grown much taller, but her whole person now looked increasingly graceful and poised.

Especially since Yan Shuang'er's graduation, Qi Xi, relying on her own excellent grades, had successfully taken over the title of top student, becoming the object of envy among her classmates.

Just as the three were chatting animatedly, two more people suddenly walked into the classroom door. One was chubby; the other was relatively thin and slightly frail.

Yan Qianqian curiously stared at the little fat boy for a while, feeling he looked somewhat familiar, but after racking her brains for a long time, she still could not find any definite memory of him in her mind.

The chubby boy muttered, "So annoying! I have to come to this damn Shangshufang every day. Oh dear, when will I finally be able to graduate!" Beside him stood a thin, frail-looking man, each hand carrying a heavy schoolbag, following silently without a word.

The two had just stepped through the door when the teacher followed closely behind. The teacher first looked around the room, then cleared his throat and said, "Today I see that several new classmates have joined the class, so let me introduce myself first. My surname is Qian, and you may all call me Teacher Qian."

This Teacher Qian's appearance was considerably inferior to the previous Teacher Bai. He wore a dark blue long robe; though his face could not be called ugly, his features were plain and unremarkable, with nothing outstanding about them.

After a brief pause, Teacher Qian continued, "Alright, since the new students have all arrived, let's come up one by one for a brief self-introduction."

Thus, the three girls named Yan Qianqian, Ai Jiao, and Qi Xi came forward in turn, introducing themselves to everyone with grace and poise. After they finished their self-introductions, a tense and busy day of classes officially began.

Time flew by, and before long the bell for the end of class rang. At this moment, Yan Qianqian silently groaned in her heart, because there were several points in this lesson she had not fully understood.

She thought to herself that when she got home she must ask her Third Elder Sister for guidance. After all, the difficulty of the Sixian Ban curriculum was much higher than that of the Qi Meng Ban.

Finally, the time for class to end and school to let out arrived. Yan Qianqian walked home with Yan Jie, who had attended class with her, setting out on the road home. For Yan Qianqian, who had just started studying in the Sixian Ban, this first day's experience was truly not easy!

Fortunately, An Wang cared for her deeply. As soon as he saw his daughter return, he immediately came forward to inquire after her warmth and health, his concern plainly expressed. At dinnertime, the family sat around the table, the atmosphere warm and harmonious. An Wang looked concernedly at his daughter Yan Qianqian, who was eating with her head down, and asked, "Qianqian, how did you do at the Xuetang today?"

Yan Qianqian, chewing her food, replied indistinctly, "It's okay, just that there are some places I didn't quite understand. I'll ask Third Elder Sister in a moment." After saying this, she continued to eat heartily.

An Wang nodded in agreement, then said, "Mm, if you encounter problems you don't understand, ask Shuang'er more often; don't keep your head down and puzzle over it by yourself."

After dinner, Yan Qianqian and Yan Shuang'er went together to the Shufang to complete the day's lessons. She sat upright at the desk, seriously flipping through her books and notes, but when she encountered difficult problems, she still felt confused.

At this time, she remembered the points from the classroom that day that she had not fully understood, and said to Yan Shuang'er, "Third Elder Sister, I can't figure out these few problems no matter what. Can you explain them to me?" Yan Qianqian pointed to the problems in the book and looked at Yan Shuang'er pitifully.

Yan Shuang'er took the book and looked at it carefully, then explained it to Yan Qianqian in a soft voice. She explained in great detail, not only clearly laying out the problem-solving approach, but also listing several similar examples to help Yan Qianqain deepen her understanding. Under Yan Shuang'er's patient guidance, Yan Qianqian quickly mastered these concepts.

Just as the two were discussing heatedly, Yan Qianqian suddenly seemed to remember something important, slapped her forehead and said, "Oh! Third Elder Sister, I almost forgot one thing. During the day I promised Ai Jiao I would help her find out when Fourth Elder Brother is going to the Jun Ying. Do you know about this?"

Yan Shuang'er thought for a moment and replied, "I have heard people mention it. During the day I happened to meet Yan Wang and asked him in passing. But I'm not clear on the specific time; I only know that Father seemed to have told him to wait a bit, saying there were still some matters to handle."

After hearing this, Yan Qianqian nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Then it seems we can only wait for news. Thank you, Third Elder Sister!"

After saying this, Yan Qianqian continued to focus wholeheartedly on completing the rest of her lessons.
