"Bang--"

A report card was suddenly slammed onto the table.

"Overall ranking of the entire grade in the class placement exam." Lin Chengshuang moved the report card forward a bit. "Take a look."

Ji Li looked up from her math test paper, following his gaze: "What's wrong?"

Lin Chengshuang asked him, "Did you see it clearly?"

Ji Li nodded: "Mm."

Is there a problem?

What's wrong?

"You only got second place this time." Lin Chengshuang emphasized, "Second place."

Ji Li asked good-naturedly, "So?"

"You used to be number one!" Lin Chengshuang said with a look of grief and indignation at the loss of her homeland and territory.

"Why are you reacting so strongly to me not getting first place?"

“You’re my brother, your achievements are my pride. Now that you’ve fallen from first place, where do I put my face?”

Ji Li sincerely suggested, "You can think of a way to get yourself out of the bottom of the class."

"Uh..." It was evening self-study time. September was hot and dry. The fan above their heads creaked and swayed. The intermittent chirping of insects could be clearly heard from the classroom on the first floor.

Ji Li pushed the report card back: "get out of class is almost over, go do your homework."

Lin Chengshuang stared at him, her eyes blazing: "You've held the top spot for a whole year, and someone just snatched it away like this, aren't you even a little angry?"

"First place doesn't belong to anyone in the first place," Ji Li said. "People got it through their own ability, why should I be angry?"

“But I’ve never seen him in the top ten of the grade before. He suddenly jumped up here. It’s obvious that he’s benefited from being good at one subject.” Lin Chengshuang genuinely felt sorry for him. “If it weren’t for the fact that this subject-specific exam only had six subjects, how could he possibly have beaten you if there were nine subjects in total?”

Ji Li had only circled half of the key information on the exam paper when it was snatched away by the other person. He looked up, startled, before saying, "Give me back my paper."

“Ji Li, let me tell you, if you…”

"Lin Chengshuang!"

Lin Chengshuang was so frightened by the lion's roar that she almost bit her tongue and swallowed it.

The teacher stared menacingly at his hand holding the test paper: "Instead of studying yourself, you're bothering others? Get out here!"

Lin Chengshuang turned her head shakily.

Ji Li met his gaze: "I reminded you to return the test paper to me soon."

"Uh..." With one person no longer nagging in her ear, Ji Li was finally able to continue doing her practice problems.

When the bell rang, everyone in the class breathed a sigh of relief. A large number of students slumped over their desks, looking down from the back row, resembling a table full of salted fish.

Ji Li put down his pen and went to pour water. As soon as he stood up, he noticed something that had fallen on the corner of the table.

It was that report card, a standard A4-sized printed sheet, over a meter long. No one knew where Lin Chengshuang got it from; thousands of names from the entire grade were densely packed on it.

Ji Li bent down to pick up the report card, and his peripheral vision caught the name at the very top.

Ying Yunsheng, Class 7, Grade 11.

It only flashed by in my field of vision for a moment, or as if it had stopped for a second.

He lowered his eyes, folded the report card and placed it on his deskmate's desk, then took his thermos and went out.

Lin Chengshuang did not return until the end of evening self-study.

Ji Li reasonably guessed that the other party was most likely kept in the office by the teacher to write a self-criticism, and the next second his phone received a message.

[Lone Wolf: Bring me a box of mochi.]

Ji Li replied with a period to indicate that he understood.

They are still using the same schedule as the first-year high school students, with two 90-minute evening self-study sessions every day, ending at 10:30 pm.

The cafeteria's late-night snack window is still open at this time, specializing in unique snacks that look beautiful and taste good. The only downside is that the quantity is limited each day, which has led to complaints from students more than once.

Class 5's classroom was on the first floor. While queuing, Ji Li casually started a game, and before the first round was over, it was his turn. He ordered a box of mochi, swiped his card, and finished the game on his way back.

Lin Chengshuang returned to her dorm just as lights were going out. She immediately spotted the mochi box in a plastic bag on her bedside table and quickly tore it open: "Want one?"

Ji Li had just finished showering and was drying her hair with a towel: "No need, you eat."

Lin Chengshuang had a rough idea that the other person didn't like sweets, specifically because in all the years they'd known each other, he'd never seen the other person drink a bottle of cola. He didn't mind and excitedly distributed the box of snacks to the other roommates.

There were six people in each dormitory room, and they had become familiar with each other over the course of a year. Except for Ji Li, who refused, the other four were not so polite. When he took the initiative to greet them, they rushed over in a swarm, and almost ended up fighting.

Ten of the thirteen mochi in a box disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lin Chengshuang hugged the box to protect the remaining three mochi, while several boys pressed her down on the bed, her face flushed as she desperately shouted, "Help! We're robbing you!"

"Thud—"

The lights are off.

Lin Chengshuang was stunned for a moment, and his hand suddenly went empty. He widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Damn it, Erpang, I'll fight you to the death!!"

The commotion in the dormitory ended with the arrival of the dormitory supervisor.

At 11:10, the moon outside the window was obscured by drifting clouds, and the shadow behind the frosted glass suddenly blended into the night.

Lin Chengshuang was still complaining to others about being kept behind by their teacher to write a se
