Li Nian's School Life

After leaving [The Shady Corner], Lin Yu, dressed in a school uniform, quickly blended into the group of students who were having a physical education class.

Lin Yu's timing was also very clever; it was just past the halfway point of the last class of the morning.

Several classes that were having physical education lessons on the playground had already started their free time, and many students had also finished class early to go to the cafeteria, so Lin Yu wandered around without anyone noticing.

While entering the school gate wearing a school uniform at this time might require registration and questioning, if you're already on campus...

Lin Yu was absolutely certain that he was safe.

Although the total number of students at St. Music Private Middle School is small, with only five classes per grade, the school uniforms do not differentiate between grades; there is only a distinction between the junior high and senior high sections.

The three grades of high school all wore the same uniform style, so there was no way anyone would suspect that Lin Yu had sneaked in.

Rather, who would immediately suspect that a stranger in school uniform who had sneaked in disguise is an unidentified outsider?

Especially since Lin Yu looks so young and innocent right now, coupled with her already superb acting skills, anyone who sees her at this moment would think she is a High School Girl at Shengle Middle School.

As for why it's a "High School Girl"...

Lin Yu was there to see Li Nian, so he naturally used the face of "Zhu Ming".

Since the original model, Xia Yue, was a college student, Lin Yu didn't make many minor adjustments, making the face look like that of a high school student without any sense of incongruity.

Certainly...

Lin Yu could also choose to create a completely new face.

However, he intended to give Li Nian a surprise—he was very much looking forward to seeing Li Nian's expression when she suddenly saw "Zhu Ming" in school uniform on campus and realized what was happening.

But...

Although Lin Yu knew that Li Nian studied at this Shengle Middle School, he did not know which class Li Nian in.

The unboxing information Shen Bingmiao gave her at the time wasn't that detailed either.

Therefore, Lin Yu can only wander around and try his luck now.

Arriving at the high school building, Lin Yu wandered aimlessly.

"This school's class assignment method is quite unique..."

Looking at the markings on the fire Map, Lin Yu noticed that while the junior high section of Shengle Middle School still had the usual classes one through five, the senior high section was different.

One grade in the high school is divided into International Class A, International Class B, Quality Class A, Quality Class B, and Competition Class.

These five classes are easy to understand—they correspond precisely to the three types of students and three career paths at Shengle Middle School.

Students who have the money to study abroad, top students who are here to get scholarships, and elite students who are competing in competitions.

However, the class divisions are not absolute—because Lin Yu quickly found a roll of honor next to the Map near the entrance of the teaching building.

At the very top of the honor roll was a long, densely packed list of recent high school graduates who had been admitted to prestigious universities. Looking at it, it was filled with names like "MIT, NUS, Harvard, Cambridge," "Stanford, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge," and "immortals lined up like hemp."

Lin Yu, from Jiangcheng Media, suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Below the honor roll are the Rankings for first and second year high school students, showing their rankings from the last monthly exam.

These rankings are all from all five classes combined, which means everyone is still taking the same exam.

Although the general trend is that international classes are at the bottom, Competition Class are at the top, and general classes are in the middle, there are still international and general classes at the very top, and Competition Class at the very bottom.

Of course, this Rankings is also very useful to Lin Yu.

He quickly found Li Nian's name and her class on the second-year high school Rankings.

"99th place, Li Nian, Competition Class."

Lin Yu was quite surprised by this.

On the one hand, he didn't expect that Li Nian was actually in the Competition Class.

On the other hand...

A grade at Shengle Middle School has fewer than 300 students, and the Competition Class has only about 30 students, which is very rare. Li Nian's ranking of 99th means that she is actually one of the last few in the Competition Class.

"I thought this guy was either slacking off in the international class or at the top of his class..."

Lin Yu's understanding of Li Nian was completely changed.

Then, following the Map, Lin Yu quietly arrived at the third floor of the senior high school teaching building of Shengle Middle School —the floor where the second-year Competition Class were located.

Lin Yu walked through the still empty corridor and soon arrived at the door of the second-year Competition Class. Through the spacious and bright glass, Lin Yu saw the students inside writing furiously on problems, seemingly taking a short quiz in math class.

Li Nian was mixed in with the others, and Lin Yu had to search twice to find her.

It wasn't that Lin Yu was getting old and his eyesight was failing, making it difficult to find even one person out of more than thirty; it was simply because...

Li Nian's appearance was completely different from the few times he had seen her before!

Lin Yu had seen Li Nian in her school uniform before.

However, Lin Yu really didn't expect that the girl sitting in the first row in front of the podium, wearing black-rimmed glasses, with her bangs tied up, biting the pen cap while doing a problem, would be Li Nian.

For a fleeting moment, Lin Yu even suspected that Li Nian had a twin sister.

The teacher on the podium looked like a middle-aged man who was very good at teaching math. He saw Lin Yu peering through the window but didn't think much of it, assuming that someone from another class had finished early and was waiting for a friend.

Unlike top-tier municipal schools that rely entirely on Discipline, Shengle Middle School has a student body where half are from wealthy or privileged backgrounds and the other half are exceptionally academically gifted. As a result, the teachers are more lenient and don't enforce Discipline.

So Lin Yu continued to wait by the window.

Li Nian didn't notice Lin Yu leaning against the window until the bell rang.

As an elegant and light piano piece began to play, after the students in the Competition Class had handed in their test booklets, Li Nian stood up and casually complained to a square-faced boy next to her who looked very strong and had a slight stubble on his lips about the difficulty of the test questions.

Then, her gaze drifted to the window, and she finally spotted Lin Yu standing outside.

Their eyes met, and Lin Yu smiled and nodded to her.

Li Nian was clearly stunned for a moment in the classroom. Then Lin Yu saw her take off her glasses, rub her eyes, and then take a Glasses cloth to wipe them.

After confirming once again that Lin Yu was still standing outside the window, Lin Yu saw a rare look of astonishment, panic, and anger on Li Nian's face.

Lin Yu admired the beautiful expression on Li Nian's face. He saw her hurriedly say goodbye to her classmates, pick up her schoolbag and quickly walk out of the classroom. Then, she rushed to him from the door, grabbed Lin Yu's hand, and headed towards the stairs.

"What are you doing here? Are you crazy?!"
