Rebirth begins with studying hard

Chapter 3 The Little Delinquent Who Likes Lu Jie

On Monday morning, the results of the monthly exam were posted on the grade's honor roll.

Lu Jie started looking at the honor roll from the last place, number 541, and soon saw his own name at number 388.

[Lu Jie, total score 512]

In the first year of high school, the monthly exams are not divided into arts and sciences; all subjects are tested, and each subject is worth 100 points, for a total of 900 points.

His total score was equivalent to an average of 56.8 in each course, which was below the passing grade.

His gaze continued forward, and he saw a familiar name in sixth place in the grade: Li Feng.

794 points.

十二中在肥城只是一所市级示範高中，排在1中、4中、6中、7中、8中、9中、10中等几所省级示範高中后面，和2中、3中、5中等同属市示範的高中处于同一档次。

He vaguely remembered that there were 27,000 middle school entrance exam takers in the city last year, and 13,000 were admitted to regular high schools. He was admitted to Feicheng No. 12 Middle School with a ranking of around 6500th in the city, which put him in the top 50% of all admitted high school students.

In recent years, the undergraduate admission rate in Anhui Province has been about 20%, and the admission rate for junior college students is 60%.

Judging solely from his ranking in the high school entrance exam, both he and the entire No. 12 Middle School are at the level of a junior college.

Most undergraduate students in Feicheng are concentrated in a few key provincial universities.

Of course, some students who are admitted to key provincial high schools may not have studied hard enough in high school, which may have led to a decline in their grades and prevent them from getting into a university.

Students from key municipal high schools and regular high schools also worked hard to catch up and eventually got into undergraduate programs or even 211 universities.

Excluding special admissions categories such as sports and arts, about 30 students from No. 12 Middle School are able to get into undergraduate programs each year, including about 20 students admitted to first-tier and second-tier universities and 10 students admitted to third-tier universities.

Like Li Feng, he remembered that he had been admitted to a top university in his previous life.

In his previous life, his score was only high enough to get into a junior college, but he didn't go.

In this life, he will definitely do his best to get into a better university.

However, the most important thing right now is to get into the top class in the final exam and class placement exam of the second semester of the first year of high school.

Getting into the honors class is the first step to getting into a good university.

"Holy crap, Lu Jie, you're amazing! You actually got over 500 points!"

"You really did go back to study last week!"

His childhood friend's exclamation brought him back to his senses.

he:"......"

These words sounded sarcastic at first glance, but he knew that Sun Bo really didn't mean it that way.

Because Sun Bo only scored 452 points.

"666, shouldn't you treat me to a good meal to celebrate?" Sun Bo winked.

Lu Jie: "(꒪⌓꒪)"

"Dude, the countdown is almost over, and you're still celebrating?"

"If I can get into the honors class in the placement exam, I promise I'll treat you to a nice, big meal!"

He had barely finished speaking when he heard a soft chuckle from the side:

Stop bragging.

Lu Jie turned his gaze behind him.

A girl with short hair, dyed one-third blonde and one-third red, wearing large earrings, was chewing gum, standing at an angle, and looking at him with a smile.

"With grades like yours, you think you can get into the honors class?"

"Why not train in sports like me? There are still spots for sports students in the top classes, so there's still a chance."

"Sun Bo, don't you think so?"

Feicheng No. 12 Middle School is a high school specializing in sports, and it will recruit students with sports specialties from all over the city through the high school entrance examination.

To demonstrate the importance attached to students with athletic talents, some spots are indeed allocated to students who excel in both academic and athletic subjects to enter key classes.

Sports students who are able to get into the top classes are often able to get into good universities.

Upon seeing her, Sun Bo immediately deflated and chimed in, "Sister Qing is right."

"You need to see Lu Jie for something, right?"

"You two chat, I'm leaving now."

Before Lu Jie could react, he turned and left.

"Damn it, I told you not to call me Sister Qing, but you still did!" She wanted to call Sun Bo back, but seeing Lu Jie frowning and turning to leave, she called out to him first.

"Lu Jie, don't go!"

Lu Jie sighed silently and looked at the eye-catching delinquent girl in front of him, Zhong Muqing.

While his modeling may not be universally appealing, it's still acceptable.

Whether in junior high, high school, or later, there were always girls who had their eyes on him and liked him.

But of all the people, the one who impressed him the most was Zhong Muqing, the so-called "bad girl" of No. 12 Middle School.

It's not that she's unattractive; in fact, judging solely by her facial features and figure, she's quite pretty.

With big eyes, a high nose, a slender figure, and long legs (she's a long-distance runner), she has a lot of energy.

But he had absolutely no interest in Zhong Muqing.

Because she is almost the complete opposite of the type of person he likes.

He prefers the gentle, innocent, and petite girl-next-door type.

But Zhong Muqing is a delinquent girl who gets into fights and has a catchphrase.

He was someone who couldn't even handle live chickens and ducks, yet he had seen her leading a group of people in a fight with another group at the school gate, where she had smashed someone's head with a brick.

Scary.

I heard that if it weren't for her family's connections, she would have been fired long ago.

As for the reason why she likes me, it's rather childish.

I like him because he looks like Lin Zhiying.

He had no other thoughts about girls like that except to avoid them.

In his past life, he had rejected Zhong Muqing's advances time and time again. After rejecting her so many times, he figured that Zhong Muqing had lost interest and stopped contacting him.

He didn't pay attention to Zhong Muqing after that, and didn't know what she was doing.

In this life, he still couldn't muster any interest in girls like that.

He felt that he and Zhong Muqing were from completely different worlds, not in the past, not now, and not in the future.

"What do you want?"

Zhong Muqing thought for a moment and said, "Are you free after school this afternoon? I... I'll treat you to internet access."

Lu Jie: "..."

I remember now, she was the only girl who offered to let him go online.

"I'm busy."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Study." With that, he turned and walked towards the classroom.

Zhong Muqing immediately followed up, saying, "Hey, are you kidding me? If you don't want to go online with me, then don't. Why are you talking about studying?"

Seeing that Lu Jie didn't speak, she pulled him aside, took a deep breath, and said:

"Do you like Victoria Song and are dating her, which is why you're ignoring me?"

Lu Jie was taken aback, and the image of Zhong Muqing asking him these questions in his previous life flashed through his mind.

Although he was interested in Song Qian at that time, he did not give a definite answer because he was afraid that Zhong Muqing would cause trouble for Song Qian.

Because he was worried that if he said he didn't like Victoria Song, his words would reach Victoria Song's ears and cause her to misunderstand, he did not deny it.

Sigh, I must have spent all my energy on things unrelated to studying in my past life, no wonder my grades are so bad.

He shook his head: "No, I don't like Victoria Song."

Zhong Muqing persisted: "Then who do you actually like?"

Although Lu Jie didn't want to pay attention to her, seeing her determined look, he said helplessly, "I don't like anyone."

"Ah... I don't have anyone I like..." Zhong Muqing blinked.

"Then why don't you date me?"

"Lu Jie, I like you."

Lu Jie shook his head again: "I'm sorry, I just want to focus on my studies right now."

Zhong Muqing scoffed, "Tch, studying? Who are you kidding?"

Lu Jie could tell that she genuinely didn't believe he would study seriously, and he had no interest in explaining, so he tried to leave again.

Zhong Muqing grabbed him again and said, "Where are you going to study after school? Can you take me with you?"

Lu Jie, annoyed by being pulled around repeatedly, rolled his eyes and said:

"Study? Look at yourself, do you look like a student?"

Zhong Muqing was taken aback: "What's not right?"

Lu Jie said, "Have you ever seen a student with hair like yours... dyed red and yellow, and wearing such big earrings?"

"Look at your clothes, you're dressed like a working adult, do you look like a student?"

"Oh... so you like that kind of thing..." Zhong Muqing said thoughtfully.

Is that what I meant?

Lu Jie was speechless. He felt that the other person's thinking was completely on a different wavelength from his own.

Too lazy to say anything more, he turned and left.

Zhong Muqing didn't pull him any further, but simply followed behind, saying, "Then I'll change my clothes, and you'll teach me!"

Lu Jie ignored him.

Zhong Muqing happily said to herself, "Okay! Then it's settled!"

Then they ran away in a flash.

Lu Jie was left standing there in shock.

No, what did I agree to with you?
