Chapter 825: Chapter 363: Sleep Again, [Dream System]

”Hey, Tang Song, are you okay?” Liu Qingning waved her hand in front of him and pinched his cheek.

”Uh...” Tang Song shivered suddenly, his thoughts gradually returning, ”What’s up?”

”You were just staring at your headphones, daydreaming for almost half a minute, as if you’d fallen asleep. Have you been studying too hard lately?”

Tang Song blinked blankly and said awkwardly, ”Maybe a little.”

Just now, while looking at his headphones, he somehow spaced out. Maybe he really was too tired.

Ever since Liu Qingning wrote him that ”Peak Meeting” letter on June 6, 2015, he had tucked away all sorts of miscellaneous thoughts.

He buried himself in studying every day, constantly working hard, constantly learning, constantly trying to catch up.

His grades also began to improve significantly.

Currently, there’s only four months of the final sprint left before the college entrance exams, and he wants to try whether he can get into the Imperial City.

Because he knows that Liu Qingning has wanted to go to Imperial University since childhood, and with her grades, it’s pretty much a sure thing.

University isn’t as grueling as high school, where every day is just studying.

If he could go to the Imperial City with her, they could have many romantic stories like those described in novels.

For the 18-year-old Tang Song,

things like jobs, money, houses, etc., are all intangible things with no concept; he’s never considered what path he’ll take in the future.

The only thing that gives him unwavering motivation is Liu Qingning.

His hormones and cerebral cortex are undergoing intense reactions, and the fluttering love saturates his entire youth.

Seeing Tang Song spacing out again, Liu Qingning bit her cherry lips and softly said, ”After dinner, shall we go for a walk on the playground?”

”Mm, okay!” Tang Song instantly lit up with a radiant smile, becoming full of energy, ”I’ll go write a lost and found note to post on the school bulletin board, see who’s in sync with me, having bought the same headphones.”

The afternoon classes were long and tedious, so Tang Song worked hard to stay focused, throwing himself wholeheartedly into them.

They had just finished celebrating the New Year, and formal classes hadn’t actually started yet.

But as seniors in high school, they were forced to cut their holiday short, return to school to study, and go through endless mock exams.

17:40.

”Ding ding ding~~dong~~” The pleasant sound of the dismissal bell echoed.

The classroom, originally filled only with the sound of pages turning and pens writing, suddenly became lively.

Students surged out of the classroom like a tide, rushing toward the cafeteria.

The sun was gradually setting, its dazzling glow turning the sky red.

The entire campus was draped in a dreamlike thin veil.

Tang Song held a palm-sized vocabulary notebook, slightly lowered his head, and admired Liu Qingning’s beautiful profile at close range, a joyful smile on his lips.

As a top student at Jing County First High School, coupled with outstanding looks and figure, Liu Qingning was the center of attention throughout the school.

No matter where she went, she was never short of admiring and hopeful gazes.

But the only boy who could walk side by side, chat, and joke with her at First Middle School was him.

This special treatment greatly satisfied his vanity.

Following the crowd, they entered the East Cafeteria.

Sounds of chatter and noise greeted them.

Liu Qingning said loudly, ”Tang Song, you find a seat first, I’ll get in line and get us food. Don’t waste time, use it to memorize more vocabulary words!”

”Got it.” Tang Song took out his meal card and handed it over, ”Here, take mine.”

”Next time, today I’ll use mine.” Liu Qingning winked at him and jogged to the counter.

Her high ponytail bounced with each step, and her entire body radiated a vibrant, youthful beauty.

Tang Song put away the meal card and walked toward a spot with fewer people, holding his vocabulary notebook.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Wearing a red down jacket, dark jeans, and somewhat worn sneakers, she stood in a corner of the cafeteria with her head slightly lowered.

Her hair was in neatly trimmed ear-length style with neat bangs, just like her personality.

Tang Song paused for a moment, then approached with a smile and waved, ”Hello, Zhang Yan, it’s been a while. Are you visiting First Middle School again?”

”Ah...” Zhang Yan looked up, her cheeks rosy, possibly from the cold, ”Tang... Tang Song, good evening. Um, our school doesn’t start classes until next Monday. I came back early, and since I didn’t have much to do, I came to First Middle School to hang out with classmates.”

”You Second Middle School students are lucky, getting an extra week off.”

”Not too bad.” Zhang Yan nodded lightly, her gaze drifting to Tang Song’s chest, ”By the way, Tang Song, how did you do on the last mock exam?”

Tang Song’s face was full of smiles, ”560 points, my best score yet.”

”That’s amazing.”

In Jing County, the top students are usually scooped up by First Middle School, leaving Second Middle School significantly behind in overall scores.

”Ah, more people are coming. I’ll go grab a spot now, bye-bye~” Tang Song smiled and pointed inside the cafeteria.

”Um...” Zhang Yan hesitated.

Tang Song stopped in his tracks, ”What’s up?”

”Nothing, bye.” Zhang Yan lowered her head, burying her mouth and nose in the collar of her down jacket.

Tang Song waved and strode toward an empty seat.

While waiting for Liu Qingning, he glanced at Zhang Yan’s spot; it seemed her friend ran late and never showed up.

With the second semester of senior year approaching, the countdown to finals began, and everyone entered a state of preparation.

Perhaps this was Zhang Yan’s last chance to hang out with friends from First Middle School.

As more people filled the cafeteria, her figure gradually got lost in the crowd.

Even during meal times, Liu Qingning did not waste any time.
