It was June 10, two days after the college entrance exams had ended.
On the high-speed train from Lu'an to Haicheng, one carriage was particularly noisy.
The front half of the carriage was packed with teenage boys and girls. Some were going to Haicheng for the first time, and they could hardly contain their excitement.
Excitement made them want to chat, but when everyone around them was chatting too, the person they were talking to couldn't hear them, so they had to raise their voices. Once they did, the people beside them couldn't hear each other either, so they had to raise their voices as well.
The whole carriage grew louder and louder.
Having spent decades teaching, Zhou Min naturally knew how to handle this.
She stood up and walked down the aisle. The front half of the carriage immediately fell silent.
"The whole train can hear you talking." Zhou Min stopped in front of a boy. "Zhou Muzhi, were you the one who started it again? The exams are over, and you still won't settle down. Do you think you did exceptionally well?"
Zhou Muzhi lowered his head without a word. He hadn't started it, but as Zhou Min's nephew, he was often singled out for a lecture.
Whenever this happened, Zhou Muzhi couldn't help wondering whether Luyi had received the same treatment back in the day.
After delivering her lecture, Zhou Min returned to her seat.
This was a tour of prestigious universities organized by No. 1 High School. Students signed up voluntarily and paid their own way, with several teachers leading the trip so those interested in attending university in Haicheng could get an early look at their dream schools. The schedule was tight: just two days to visit Jiaotong University, Fudan University, Tongji University, East China
