Chapter Twenty

  Cheng Zihan's injury is not serious, just a scratch on her arm, fortunately it's her left hand, so there isn't too much of an impact.

  Cheng Zihang directly handed over the bidding for the riverbank land to Cheng Hai, and the price was not set too high, just a bid of 1,800. If Cheng Zihang's guess is correct, they will win this bid with a probability of 90%.

  "Cheng Zihan! You're finally back! What's going on with you, always asking for leave!" As soon as she returned to school, her friend Li Li came over and gave Cheng Zihan a big slap on the back.

  "Ow! What's wrong with you?!" Cheng Zihan glared at Li Li and swatted her paw away.

  "What's gotten into you? The math competition is coming up soon, and the teacher is giving extra tutoring to a few students who are going to participate. Are you still going or not?" Li Lei looked at Cheng Zihan with puzzlement, somewhat taken aback by her change.

  Cheng Zihan has always been gentle and warm in nature, basically never speaking loudly. What stimulation did she receive this time? She's actually so fierce?

  "Got it." Cheng Zihan also didn't bother to pay much attention to Li Lei, she was deceived by this person in her previous life and played around without realizing it, but that doesn't mean she will be the same this time!

  Li Li looked at Cheng Zihan's back and felt depressed in her heart, but she just let out a cold hum and turned to leave.

  "Hello, are you Cheng Zihan?" Just as Cheng Zihan had put down her bag and sat down, a gentle voice rang out above her head.

  She suddenly lifted her head and saw Zhou Ziran standing in front of her with a warm smile on his face, her heart skipped a beat, and she stuttered, "Y-yes. Y-you need something?"

  Zhou Ziren looked at Cheng Zihan's face with satisfaction, and the gentleman smiled slightly. "I'm a new classmate, this time I'll also go to participate in the math competition, I heard your math grades are very good, after school can I ask you some questions?"

  "Alright, alright." Cheng Zihan felt her face burning hot enough to cook an egg and hastily agreed.

  Zhou Ziren got a response from Cheng Zihan and walked away happily, casting a triumphant glance at several male classmates in the class.

  Cheng Zihan was busy and tense, and didn't notice any of this.

  After taking a few deep breaths, Cheng Zihan finally calmed down the excitement in her heart.

  The second grade lessons were really nothing good, Cheng Zihan was waiting for the end of school with joy.

  "Cheng Zihan! Cheng Zihan!" Chen Yan called out with a dark face, repeatedly calling out Cheng Zihan's name several times, but the distracted person didn't hear it and continued to smile foolishly.

  The people around her couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker. What was Cheng Zihuan thinking, lost in some foolish daydream, with a silly look on her face?

  A hoarse and helpless voice echoed in Cheng Zihan's mind, "Cheng Zihan, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Your teacher is glaring at you furiously, as if she wants to tear you apart and devour you!"

  Cheng Zihan finally came back to her senses and hastily stood up, "Teacher."

  Cheng Zihan stood up and only then realized that the whole class was staring at her, her face suddenly turned bright red, this time she really lost face.

  "During class time, what are you doing? Don't think that just because your grades are good, you can skip class. If you're really that capable, there's a promotion exam next month, go ahead and participate if you have the ability. I'd like to see how many levels you can advance!" Chen Yan said sarcastically with a gloomy face.

  "Promotion exam?" Cheng Zihan knew that every year the school would hold a so-called promotion exam, just for show, and in fact, almost no students participated.

  If there really is such a thing as an entrance exam, she actually wants to take it and see if she can skip middle school and go straight to high school.

  Jing Cheng Zi Han actually came with interest, and Chen Yan's contempt in her eyes became even thicker.

  "On May 20th, there will be a promotion exam at school. If you pass the exam and meet the requirements, you might even be able to skip a grade. If you want to participate, I can sign you up." Chen Yan didn't think Cheng Zihuan would pass at all; she had also seen the exam questions before, and some of them were so profound that even she couldn't do them.

  Shu Tou Primary School is the only primary school in this area, but because it is not yet included in the formal education system, many of its teachers have only a junior college cultural background, and some do not even have a degree, having gotten their positions through connections. Chen Yan's educational level is not high, but she can still teach second grade at a primary school. She also took a look at the promotion exam papers, which included many math Olympiad questions that she couldn't understand or solve.

  "Alright, then I'll trouble you, teacher, to sign me up." Cheng Zihan nodded solemnly and didn't forget to express her gratitude.

  Chen Yan was shocked by Cheng Zihan's words and froze, not expecting Cheng Zihan to actually dare to participate. After a moment of stunned silence, she asked: "Cheng Zihan, do you really want to participate?"

  Others also looked at Cheng Zihuan with disdain, although Cheng Zihuan's grades were very good, but no one believed she had the ability to skip a grade, after all, in Shu Tou Primary School, there has never been a student who can skip a grade for so many years.

  "Ah, of course I'll participate. Teacher recommended me so enthusiastically, I couldn't waste teacher's kindness. By the way, teacher, you just called me, was there something? Was it just to tell me about the promotion exam?" Cheng Zihan nodded seriously and asked Chen Yan with a puzzled expression.

  Chen Yan's face turned somewhat unsightly, but she didn't want to make a scene, so she coldly hummed and asked the question again.

  These little problems were naturally no problem for Cheng Zihan, and she answered them easily.

  School's out and the classmates are all happily going out to play, jumping rope on the playground, playing with sandbags, jumping over grids, and various games of hide-and-seek can be seen.

  Cheng Zihan was not interested in these games and did not participate, but instead lay on the playground with a blade of grass in his mouth, looking up at the blue sky.

  In eighteen years, the sky here will no longer be this purely blue, but a dull gray, and the air won't be as fresh as it is now. Pollution will be so severe that everyone will have to wear masks when going out.

  The clouds in the sky slowly changed shape, finally turning into Zhou Ziran's face, still with that gentle smile, leaving Cheng Zihan a little dazed.

  "Cheng Zihan, what are you looking at?"

  Just as Cheng Zihuan was staring blankly at the clouds in the sky, Zhou Ziran's familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

  Cheng Zihan was startled, her heart racing fast, she quickly got up and glared at Zhou Ziran with some dissatisfaction, "I, I didn't see anything. Why did you suddenly come over and scare me?"

  Seeing Cheng Zihan's shy and girlish appearance, Zhou Ziran was slightly stunned.

  This girl who looks ugly at first glance doesn't seem so ugly after all.

  Zhou Ziran thought about it and subconsciously stretched out his hand, gently stroking Cheng Zihan's cheek.

  Cheng Zihan was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning, her whole body frozen in place, staring blankly at Zhou Ziran with wide eyes, feeling like her heartbeat had stopped at that moment!
