Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 132: Jiangcheng NOHSs Summer Camp

The most outstanding students from across Hubei Province converged at Jiangcheng NOHS through the special county student examination. However, the students levels varied objectively based on their respective regions.

Therefore, they needed an additional test to determine who truly stood out, and that was the purpose of the summer camp.

Although Jiangcheng NOHS called it a summer camp, it essentially served as early training for the special county students. It was just an early start to their classes.

Everyone would spend a month getting familiar with life in Jiangcheng and Jiangcheng NOHS, and would finally be assigned to a class based on the summer camp exam.

Apart from parallel classes (comprehensive class) and international classes for students planning to study abroad, Jiangcheng NOHS also had five special class types: aviation class, competition class, changfei class, science and technology class, and humanities class.

The aviation class was for students aspiring to become pilots, while the changfei class and the science and technology class were both science experimental classes.

The changfei class was actually a flexible class. It was a place for students to communicate and learn after school. There was even an elimination system for changing students.

The science and technology class had five classes, while the humanities class was the liberal arts class at Jiangcheng NOHS.

The competition class was above the regular classes, and for special county students, only the top ten students in the special county student exam and the top ten students in the final summer camp exam were eligible for selection.

Of course, the local students in Jiangcheng who were not mentioned here were admitted to the class based on their ranking in the Jiangcheng high school entrance examination, so they didnt need to participate in the summer camp

However, it was said that if they were not satisfied with their scores in their entrance exam results and wanted to strive for a chance to enter a higher-level class through the summer camp, they could also sign up.

On the eve of the summer camps opening, Mei Fang and the two girls carefully studied the division of these classes to make a certain plan for their future high school life.

Lin Youxi ranked 3rd in the special county student exam, while Mei Fang was 17th. Xia Yuans ranking wasnt mentioned.

Although Lin Youxi had already met the requirements to enter the competition class, she was not willing to directly join it. Her reason was quite straightforward: To be honest, Im not particularly interested in math competitions and such Studying in such a class would consume a lot of energy, and the academic pressure would be high. In that case, it would be difficult to balance what were doing with our games and website.

Thats true And I heard that if you dont want to join the competition class, you have the option to choose a class yourself, right?

Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, Youxi, do you want to join the science and technology class with me? My score should be enough to get into that class, and I think the teachers there are probably better than the ones in the parallel class, but the pressure wont be as high.

Upon hearing this, Lin Youxi looked up and glanced at Xia Yuan beside her. Xia Yuan smiled and said, Youxi, dont look at me like that. If you want to be in the same class as Ah Fang, then go ahead. I can probably only join the parallel class, and I doubt I can make it to humanities class either.

Actually, I was planning to join the same class as you, Yuan Yuan.

Ah? In the same class as me?

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang were both surprised by Lin Youxis decision.

No, please dont! Dont lower your status and be in the same class as me. I will feel guilty

I have great confidence in the teaching quality of Jiangcheng NOHS. The teachers in the parallel class should be good, and besides, our goal doesnt have to be Tsinghua University or Peking University. Whats best is what suits us.

It was evident that Lin Youxi was already planning to give up on competing for a top position in the grade. Mei Fang understood that she wanted to invest more of her efforts into web and game development.

Her words also reminded Mei Fang of the plans he had made earlier regarding high school life.

He didnt want his high school years to be as burdened with overwhelming academic pressure as his middle school years were. So, he had explored methods for getting recommended to prestigious universities.

The method that best suited Mei Fang was participating in competitions, including the National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) and the National Computer Production Competition for primary and secondary school students.

The former was a computer technology Olympiad, while the latter, despite its seemingly low profile, was a standard national-level competition. Moreover, it was even simpler to participate in, as one only needed to upload games, websites, or applications they created.

Another consideration was the provincial Three-good Student Award. The criteria for this award were relatively flexible, and being in the Jiangcheng NOHS, there was a good chance of receiving this award.

In fact, Mei Fang wasnt too worried about missing out on these awards and losing the opportunity for a recommendation.

With C Site and the gaming industry under his belt, Mei Fang, at the age of 16, could become a super-internet tycoon with a net worth of over a hundred million. Just the mention of his name would make universities eager to offer goodwill to him. There was no need to compete for academic achievements.

The fundamental purpose of getting good grades was to get into a good university, find a good job, enhance ones abilities, and earn a lot of money. Mei Fang had already jumped directly to the step of making a lot of money.

Therefore, while improving his abilities, he should also enjoy a wonderful high school life. That was what he should consider now.

Mei Fang also agreed, saying, I think thats not bad. I might as well not join the science and technology class either and go to the parallel class. The academic pressure will be lower, and I can enjoy high school life. Besides, even if I cant be in the same class, Youxi, isnt it just right for you to go to the same class as Yuan Yuan?

Just right?

You see, in elementary school, I was in the same class as Yuan Yuan. In middle school, I was in the same class as Youxi. And now in high school, you two should be in the same class. That way, we will all have the experience of being classmates together.

Hasnt it happened a long time ago? We were in the same class in kindergarten. Xia Yuan muttered unconvinced.

Well if you put it that way

But its still nice to be in the same class as Youxi.

Xia Yuan held Lin Youxis hand. That way, we can see each other every day!

We already see each other every day. We live together now.

But we should stick even closer!

Lin Youxi looked helplessly at Xia Yuan, who had thrown herself into her arms. At that moment, the voice of Liang Meijuan calling from the kitchen could be heard.

Children! Wash your hands; its time for dinner!

The next day, early in the morning, the three of them changed into their brand new uniforms for Jiangcheng NOHS and entered the school gate together, with Liang Meijuan accompanying them.

The classes assigned during the summer camp were divided randomly. It seemed that they were deliberately avoiding putting familiar people in the same class. Mei Fang was assigned to Class 2, while Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were assigned to Classes 6 and 9, respectively.

With their new uniforms, new classrooms, and everything looking unfamiliar, Mei Fang arrived to find that there werent many people in the class yet, but they had already started chatting in small groups.

They were outstanding students from middle schools in various counties and cities in Hubei Province outside Jiangcheng City. Although there was still a hint of childishness in their rural accents in their speech, they were all showing a sense of confidence in their tone of voice.

Perhaps Lin Youxis consistent top ranking in the grade was an impressive achievement.

But here, who hadnt ranked first in their middle school? Mei Fang could clearly feel the aura of superiority everyone was exuding.

However, he didnt mind. He found an empty seat and prepared to read a book. Shortly after sitting down, a tall girl appeared in front of him.

Classmate, hello. Can I sit next to you? I arrived a little late.

Mei Fang looked up at her and couldnt help but be surprised by her height.

She seemed to be around 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall but was dressed in a cute and sweet style, except she had a cast on her hand.

Sure, you can sit here.

Thank you!

The girl sat down gingerly, but with only one hand, it was inconvenient for her to put her backpack down. So Mei Fang helped her without thinking, and the girl thanked him repeatedly.

How did you injure your hand?

Oh, this? I fell from a tree in the countryside during the summer vacation.

The girl smiled at Mei Fang. Im Xiang Bingbing. I came from Shennongjia. Where are you from?

S-Shennongjia? Mei Fang was taken aback. Isnt that a nature reserve? So there are also residents there!

Xiang Bingbing smiled awkwardly. Of course, there are and let me clarify, I am not a wild person!

Sorry, sorry I didnt mean that.

Mei Fang waved his hand and smiled slightly. Im Mei Fang, from Baimei County in Baizhou.

Oh, I know about your place! The Secret Scroll in Baizhou! And Baimei opera is very famous too. Its great there, unlike Shennongjia, which is only famous for its wild people.

Im sorry about earlier. Mei Fang realized that he hadnt controlled his expression well earlier and felt quite embarrassed.

Its okay, its okay. Im used to it. Every time, I have to emphasize this to people

Xiang Bingbing smiled and said, From now on, well be deskmates. Lets get along well!

OK.

Mei Fang made a gesture towards Xiang Bingbing.
