With less than two weeks to go before the final exams, the school was kind enough to give them a New Yearâs Day holiday.
Although the original three-day holiday was compressed into one day, it was not hard to accept since the idea of winter holiday coming was soon anyway.
For young people there were a total of two New Year, the first one the eve of New Year Eve while the second one that last day of New Year.
New Yearâs Eve was generally a time to reunite with the family while the last New Year was a time to reunite with friends and people you like.
The day before the vacation, Jin Sihan came to specially ask Shi Ning.
âNing Ning, how are you going to spend New Yearâs Day?â
Shi Ning took out a stack of math paper from the drawer and tapped her fingers on it.
She didnât say anything but Jin Sihan already understood what she meant.
The top student still want to spend the New Yearâs Day with test papers.
âCanât you just take a day off on New Yearâs Day and come out to play?â
Jin Sihan said.
Shi Ning with the corner of her eyes stole a glance at Lin Suno who was sitting not far away.
He had a political book in his hand and was memorizing political questions.
It was really like he said, all the rest of his spare time were dedicated to the subjects he has been ignoring.
âPeople who are better than you are better than you are working hard, I have no reason not to do so also.â
She turned her head and said to Jin Sihan.
Her eyes moves and fell on Jin Sihanâs eyes while Jin Sihan bent down and looked at her with widened eyes.
âNing Ning youâve been more terrifying than ever lately, youâre not stimulated by Suno are you?â
Shi Ning muttered.
âEvery time I seem someone like him I feel unqualified to sleep let alone play.â
The corner of Jin Sihanâs lips twitched twice.
âAccording to you then people like me are like dregs in school and is not worthy of living?â
Shi Ning smiled.
âNo, everyone chooses a different path, l like to learn this is the path I want to take so I naturally want to make it better. And you also have your own path to take, to do what you like to do best.â
When Jin Sihan heard her say this, a thought flashed through his mind.
What is it does he like to do?
Singing? Dancing?
He used to think of them only as his hobbies and since they were hobbies they could naturally only be allocated with his spare time and energy.
And there was no way to be the best if one donât go all out do something well.
Unlessâ¦
âHeh.â
A cold laugh from the side interrupted the conversation between the two.
Nan Xiao who was still biting his pen to do math problems looked up and glanced at them.
âShi Ning, I find that you have quite the double standard.â
âEvery time you tell me whenever I invite you is you donât want to play with a slag, and you hate people who donât want to learn. When it comes to this kid, you still turn around and comfort him?â
We are all academic slags, so why should Jin Sihan be treated differently?
At least him, the one school slag has started to study hard.
Shi Ning faintly glance at him, her eyes then fell on the math paper he was solving.
He did the ten multiple-chose questions and got five right, which was much better than before.
In fact, Nan Xiao was quite smart but since he has been too lazy to learn and if she didnât force him he would waste his three years of high school, playing.
As for Jin Sihan, if she remembered correctly the original plot he was scouted by a star scout in his sophomore year in senior high school and then played the male number three in an idol drama.
As a result his role as the male number three was more popular than the male number one, he became Xiaohong1. After that he ran at both end of the school of senior high school and the company to study and train.
In the third year of senior high school, he participated in a variety show and made his debut with good result. After her debut, he relied on his exquisite appearance and natural voice to jump to the top of the circle and became the most popular star in the new generation of idol.
After becoming famous, Jin Sihan picked up his studies again and finally went to the Conservatory of Music for further study.
Shi Ning thought of his busy schedule after he became famous and the rare moment of breathing under the camera.
She felt that now was probably Jin Sihanâs happiest time.
He wouldnât have taken the college entrance exam anyway since heâs going to college two years after they did.
So let him relax and unwind now.
âWhat do you mean Sihan is a slag, he even wrote a song for me last time and it was good. Maybe heâs going to become famous musician someday.â
Being idol was just an appearance, she could feel that what he really wanted to be was a singer.
Jin Sihanâs eyes lit up and looked Shi Ning with eyes that looked like something was glowing.
âNing Ning do you really think so?â
âYes!â
Nan Xiao looked at the these two smiling at each other and almost broke the pen.
