Although...
Zhou Rui had been reborn for a week. It could be said that he had never been lazy during this time. His diligence was also top-notch among high school students. After all, he had been gaining experience as a [Self-Disciplined Person].
But!
Can an adult who has given most of his knowledge back to God catch up with a senior high school student by working hard for a week?
Do you think high school students are as lazy as college students?
Especially when the new entry has just been obtained, and the [Student Master] entry has not yet been activated, so the cheat hasn't even started—yet a small test is required?
Zhou Rui knew very well that the teacher would grade and correct such a small test, even ranking the students.
Could he do better than his previous result?
Ah? His last result was last place? That's fine!
Han Ziyin noticed that Zhou Rui looked a little unhappy and said thoughtfully, "Zhou Rui, are you worried about the exam?"
Zhou Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I've been a little off lately."
Han Ziyin clenched her fingers, twisted her long legs under the table, and after a moment, squeezed out a sentence: "Why don't you copy mine?"
Zhou Rui laughed dryly. "Hahaha, we'll see when the time comes."
You? You haven't even opened a book in a week!
Copy you? Are we going to be shoulder to shoulder in last place?
The King of Side-by-Side?
Han Ziyin was a little nervous. She had never done such a "bad student" thing, but if it was Zhou Rui, she could.
Knowing that tomorrow was the day of execution—no, the day of the small test—Zhou Rui didn't dare waste his precious "concentration" any longer. He could only exchange for three hours of "concentration time" a day, and he had already used one hour.
He planned to use the remaining two hours to cram for the exam in the evening!
He hoped it would be of some use, at least enough to avoid embarrassing himself.
After all, his grades in previous exams had always been around 10th to 15th in the class. If his results were that bad again, he might as well jump off a building.
If that happened, both the teacher and his mom would be furious.
At noon, Zhou Rui had lunch with Song Bin. The little fat boy followed them around with a rosy face. He used to be alone at school, but now he finally had friends.
Guo Sheng in the class glared at the two figures. He hadn't forgotten the embarrassment from that day.
However, when he turned around and saw his "new deskmate" Lu Xubo giving him a warning look, Guo Sheng could only curl his lips and look away.
Lu Xubo subdued Guo Sheng with his eyes, then lay down on the table and fell asleep.
He had given up on studying.
In the cafeteria, Song Bin asked about the submission of "Starry Sea." Zhou Rui said:
"The feedback from official activities won't be quick, and this is just one of our channels. Don't worry if there's no result; you can find a way to release it yourself. I checked, and QQ Music, Kugou Music, and Xiami Music all allow independent musicians to register and release their works."
Zhou Rui had done some homework. The official solicitation activity was just a window to open the situation, but it wasn't the only window. There might be doors elsewhere.
Besides, it didn't matter even if the song failed. He still had many high-quality songs in his mind. After the college entrance exam, he would have more energy to focus on this and plenty of ways to open up the situation.
"Starry Sea" wouldn't stay silent forever because of this—it just might need a different path.
Little did he know that "Starry Sea" had shaken someone in northern Beijing to the core with its extremely high quality, near-perfect singing, and the power of the "MV."
Song Bin asked secretly, "Boss, are you and Li Wenqian in a relationship?"
When you were recording the song that day, it seemed like you two were about to hug each other, looking at each other with such deep affection.
Zhou Rui choked and said, "Ahem, study is the most important thing."
Zhou Rui still took the afternoon classes seriously, focusing on gaining experience. He dared not waste his "focus time" anymore.
"Then I'll withdraw. See you tomorrow?"
Zhou Rui turned around and was about to leave when Han Ziyin suddenly stopped him: "Zhou Rui, do you have time this weekend? My father wants to invite you to our home."
Zhou Rui felt a bit embarrassed. Last time, he was informed at short notice and had reasons to refuse. This time, the girl had asked six days in advance. It was understandable that she wanted to meet Zhou Rui. If he refused for a second time, there would likely be a third.
"Then... It should be fine. Lunch?"
Han Ziyin's expression immediately brightened, and she smiled. "Well! It's a deal then!"
"Let's retreat. See you tomorrow!"
He's going to "rua" mushrooms!
After Zhou Rui left, Han Ziyin's expression immediately became cold and aloof as she started tidying up her desk.
Zhang Xin, the top student in Class 7, saw that fewer and fewer people remained in the classroom. He had mentally prepared himself for a long time, then took a deep breath and walked to Han Ziyin.
"Student Han, it's been a week since you transferred here. Are you adapting well?"
Han Ziyin frowned slightly and said without looking up, "Adapt."
Just one word, and she didn't want to say anything more.
But Zhang Xin's heart trembled.
I thought to myself: Han's voice is so nice, especially when I saw Han Ziyin's perfect profile. I was even more distracted.
As for Han Ziyin's coldness, Zhang Xin was not discouraged. Although she had only been at the school for a week, Han Ziyin was already very famous in Qinghe No. 1 Middle School, especially among the boys. Everyone knew that Han Ziyin had a cold personality and wasn't nice to anyone.
But I am different!
Zhang Xin silently told himself to stay encouraged.
"I'm the study committee member of the class. I'm afraid the textbooks you used in Shanghai are different from those here. If you encounter any difficulties in your studies, you must tell me. The teacher asked me to take care of you."
Zhang Xin mentioned his own position and then brought up the teacher. In reality, the teacher had never asked him about this. He was just making things up.
"I'm confident about my grades, and I can explain most of the questions. Why don't we go over them today? I happen to have nothing to do. Have you solved the big math questions? Do you want me to explain them to you?"
As he spoke, he motioned for Han Ziyin to sit down, preparing to lecture in what he thought was a calm and approachable manner.
Zhang Xin tried his best to speak in an elegant tone, but his heart was pounding.
I almost jumped from Class 7, Grade 3 to the principal's office upstairs.
The only response he received was Han Ziyin's cold reply: "No, I'm not interested, and we're not familiar with each other."
Then the tall girl put on her schoolbag and exited through the back door of the classroom, leaving only her beautiful back view behind.
Zhang Xin felt like his heart had fallen from Class 7 of Senior 3 to Class 7 of Senior 2.
"It doesn't matter if you're not familiar. We can get familiar slowly! Classmate Han?! How about we talk about the big physics questions? Physics is also my strong point! Hey, chemistry is fine too!"
Unfortunately, no one answered.

On the way home, Zhou Rui took out his mobile phone to check his email. There was no reply yet, so he stopped caring about it. Tomorrow's quiz was the key.
Li Wenqian was shaking her head. She had copied the song "Starry Sea" she sang into her phone. She had secretly played it dozens of times today, but she was still not satisfied.
Zhou Rui suddenly asked, "Our class will have a quiz tomorrow, what about you?"
Li Wenqian took off her headphones and said, "We have them too. What's wrong?"
Seeing the girl's indifferent look, Zhou Rui was speechless. Good grades mean you can do whatever you want, right?
Zhou Rui wanted to see what the god of learning had to say. He wanted to ask for help from Buddha, and if it worked, he could also hug the Buddha's legs.
He coughed dryly and said, "Well, I guess they are all the same test paper. What do you think about the scope of the test?"
Li Wenqian didn't understand what Zhou Rui meant and said blankly, "Isn't the scope of the exam just the things in the book?"
Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. For a genius student, there is no such thing as a scope for exams. Everything is within a certain range.
It's better to go back and use the "focus time" to rescue the situation.
