Apart from the month-ends and festive holidays, everyone in Zhao Youyue’s school most looked forward to the afternoon half-day off in weekends. They could head out to enjoy sumptuous meals that were different from their canteen food, and could purchase junk foods that were unavailable in the school convenience store. Also, they were able to go online and form teams to play “League of Legends”. Some couples would even go on dates (the forever aloners were exempt). Too bad the holiday lasted for just a short time, and they were expected to return to respective classrooms at half past three in the afternoon and continue their self-revision till dinner time. After that, it would be time for night-revisions…

Basically, the entire weekend was just a long period of self-revision as the teachers would dole out plenty of homework.

In this sort of senior high which practised strict learning culture, most of the students would not go easy on their studies. As a result, the school had boosted a college admission rate of 95% and an undergraduate enrolment rate of 99%. Many of the school alumnis would become successful individuals, and this has proven to be a valuable head-start connection for the students. At the same time, there would also be well-endowed ladies like Zhao Youyue studying here. Perhaps some blokes who knew their way around ladies might be able to catch up with these fair, rich and beautiful ladies, would they? Or maybe there could be a real-life version of Cinderella searching for her Prince Charming…

There were quite a variety of 2G-s [1] in this school. Just that such 2G-s who were so arrogant and rowdy, as if they were afraid that no one could recognize them, could still rarely be seen. If they were too outrageous and broke the school rules, they would be penalized without any favor or leniency.

The school, as a matter of course, should be an institution where students gain knowledge instead of messing around.

The four lessons in the morning were unbearable for many students as they would have to hold back their anticipation of dashing out the school compound.

Naturally, Zhao Youyue was the outlier. Though teachers were present for all four lessons, all of them except Mr. Qiu would usually sit behind their podium and be engrossed with their laptops. Some of them could even put on headphones and watch movies. Who cares about the students in front of the podium! As long as they remained quiet.

Even the young and handsome Mathematics teacher, Gu Yaoyan failed to hold back and ended up playing “League of Legends”. In contrast to Mr. Qiu, Gu Yaoyan hated the fact that he was still required to sit in during weekends. Since the school had fixed the arrangement this way, he might as well play some games whilst sitting in for the class. After all, he was popular among students and nobody would actually report him to the school authority.

Had he not finished the game in the end of lesson, some of the daring boys would flock up front to watch the game. Gu Yaoyan was more than willing to show off his skills as a Diamond I category player. He would say something cheeky like – Everybody pay attention, Teacher Gu is gonna pull a Pentakill this time! Those noobs on the other side are just like giveaway questions. Look closely my students, here comes another giveaway question!

Naturally he would receive loud cheers if he succeeded in his showoff attempt. That was absolutely a fantastic sensation. But if he got killed right after uttering his famous last words, he would close his laptop without batting an eye or looking back, and head straight back to the teachers’ office. Indeed, death is like the wind – always by my side[2].

The Truth was, Gu Yaoyan was worried that he might be caught on spot for playing computer games by the next teacher in charge. If that happened, it would be embarrassing.

Of course, Zhao Youyue started playing her phone happily during the self-revision classes. If the teachers could play with their computers behind the podium, why can’t I play with my phone?

Furthermore, how could she complete her homework without the phone?
