Zhuang Tunan returned to Shanghai to continue his studies, while for Lin Dongzhe, Peng Fei, Zhuang Xiao Ting, and Lin Xiao Yu, it was the last semester before the Zhongkao, and the atmosphere of learning grew increasingly tense. 0
 
One day, Song Ying suddenly received a notice from the teacher and hurried to the office. The teacher, with a worried expression, said to Song Ning, "Ms. Song, I'm quite concerned about Lin Dongzhe's current academic situation. He is indeed very intelligent; he often manages to solve those difficult final questions correctly, which shows that his thinking ability is quite good. However, the problem is that his grasp of foundational knowledge is not solid. Take his essays for example; the content he writes lacks clarity and his writing style is somewhat plain, making it overall less than ideal. Nevertheless, based on his current grades, if he puts in some effort, he still has a chance to get into Yizhong, but he must work harder." 0
 
The teacher paused for a moment before continuing, "And then there's your Lin Xiao Yu; she is truly exceptionally bright. In various activities organized by the school, she boldly showcases herself without any stage fright. Moreover, in subjects like mathematics and science, she demonstrates a high level of talent—her understanding is strong and she learns with ease. She is indeed a very clever child. So, I hope you can pay more attention to Lin Dongzhe's studies and encourage him to fill in his gaps in knowledge. As long as he can put in a bit more effort, he still has a good chance of getting into Yizhong." 0
 
Listening to the teacher's words, Song Ying felt proud of Lin Xiao Yu while also being deeply worried about Lin Dongzhe's academic situation. She secretly resolved to help Lin Dongzhe as much as possible. 0
 
Once Song Ying returned home from school, the whole family immediately sprang into action to help Lin Dongzhe improve his grades. Teacher Zhuang, Lin Wufeng, and Lin Xiao Yu all switched into tutoring mode, dedicating large amounts of time each day to study with Lin Dongzhe. Lin Wufeng understood well how important mathematics and science were for the Zhongkao and focused intently on these subjects. He sat next to Lin Dongzhe patiently checking his mistakes and meticulously explaining the knowledge points that Lin Dongzhe found confusing. When it came to key problem-solving strategies, he would repeatedly provide examples until Lin Dongzhe fully understood them, determined to help him solidify his foundation in mathematics and science. 0
 
When Lin Dongzhe grew tired from studying and needed a break, Lin Xiao Yu would take out a collection of classical poetry and some excellent essay examples to read aloud softly. Her voice was clear and pleasant as she read with rhythm and intonation, perfectly showcasing the charm of classical poetry and the brilliance of essay writing. Lin Dongzhe listened quietly; within that beautiful reading voice were deep impressions of classic poetry and exquisite writing techniques that he worked hard to absorb in order to enhance his language skills. 0
 
Meanwhile, things were similar over at Peng Fei's side. Teacher Zhuang and Zhuang Xiao Ting were also busy; they sat around Peng Fei helping him address his weak points in learning—patiently explaining solutions to difficult math problems or analyzing key points of English grammar in detail or discussing other subjects' easily confused knowledge points together—all working together to help Peng Fei make progress in his studies so that he could achieve excellent results in the Zhongkao just like Lin Dongzhe and get into their ideal Yizhong. 0
 
As they busied themselves preparing for school and exams, Song Ying was constantly worried about Lin Dongzhe's Zhongkao preparations. One day, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind—perhaps she could go to a temple to pray for divine blessings so that Lin Dongzhe could successfully get into Yizhong. Filled with hope, she approached Lin Wufeng, Teacher Zhuang, and Huang Ling with bright eyes saying, "We all hope that Lin Xiao Yu and Xiao Ting can continue being classmates with Lin Dongzhe at Yizhong. Why don't we go to the temple and pray for good fortune for the children?" 0
 
Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhuang felt a sudden pang of concern. He knew that Song Ying was entirely focused on Lin Dongzhe at this moment; if her prayers inadvertently emphasized only Lin Dongzhe’s success without considering any negative impact on Xiao Ting, it could be problematic. Therefore, Teacher Zhuang quickly said to Huang Ling: "Huang Ling, you should go with Song Ying to the temple. You have a delicate mind and know how to pray for both children’s well-being; we must avoid any mistakes since we all hope that both Lin Xiao Yu and Xiao Ting can smoothly get into Yizhong and continue being classmates." Huang Ling sensed Teacher Zhuang's worries; though she was somewhat skeptical about praying at temples, seeing Teacher Zhuang's serious demeanor made it hard for her to refuse. She nodded in agreement and set off with Song Ying towards the temple hoping their sincerity would bring some luck and support for the children's Zhongkao journey. 0
 
Time flew by like a fleeting horse; before they knew it, the day of the Zhongkao had arrived. During this period leading up to it, Song Ning had been extremely cautious; any impatience she occasionally showed was tightly suppressed. She understood that her child was under enough pressure already without adding any extra burdens due to her emotional fluctuations. 0
 
So even when she saw Lin Dongzhe occasionally slacking off or making simple mistakes in his studies, she remained patient and gently reminded him with encouraging words. 0
 
Finally, the day of the Zhongkao had come! Lin Dongzhe, Peng Fei, Zhuang Xiao Ting, and Lin Xiao Yu were all dressed neatly with backpacks filled with stationery and admission tickets as they set off together towards the examination hall full of energy. 0
 
Their faces radiated excitement—a unique anticipation for this important exam—as if they were not heading into an exam hall but embarking on an adventure filled with novelty and challenges. The sparkles in their eyes reflected their hopes for the future; they believed that as long as they performed well, they would be one step closer to their dreams. 0
 
At the same time, their chests swelled with pride—a pride born from their hard work over so long; those early mornings and late nights spent tirelessly practicing had not been in vain—they were finally going to showcase their skills in the exam hall! They encouraged each other as they laughed together while walking briskly towards their destination; their youthful figures shone brightly under the sun. 0
