He turned and went back to the yard to continue his carpentry.

“Then I’ll explain it to you again tomorrow morning,” Bai Lian said, minding her own business.

Ji Heng, “No matter what speed I travel at, the speed of light is always a constant 300,000 kilometers for me. Even if I reach the speed of light and move at 300,000 kilometers, the speed of light relative to me is still 300,000 kilometers.’

Listening on the side, Ji Shaorong:

Is his dad prepping for university in his old age?

Bai Lian was somewhat dissatisfied. She put down her schoolbag and followed Ji Heng to the courtyard, “Grandpa, what you said is so vague. Let me explain it to you again.

Bai Lian didn’t go back to her room to continue solving problems until she heard the answer she wanted from Ji Hengs mouth.

Ji Shaorong watched the scene in amazement.

Ji Heng finished making a small stool and then picked up the tobacco pipe beside him, lit it, and said, “Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Stop worrying about Wanxuan and Alian’s matters. It’s late, so stay here tonight.”

Having said that, he took the small stool and went into his room.

Ji Shaorong knew what Ji Heng meant and didn’t insist further.

The next morning, when Ji Shaorong got up, he saw Bai Lian sitting by Ji Hengs bed, waiting for him to wake up.

So why make a small stool?

Isn’t he afraid of someone getting up earlier and earlier?

Today is Friday.

The last class of the afternoon was Chinese. Lu Lingxi stood on the platform, “Next weekend is the monthly exam. Everyone, gear up. Also, as you all know, the school anniversary is coming up. The benefactor of Xiangcheng Middle School will come to watch, and the school has ruled that each class must present at least one performance. Cultural committee members, go back and plan what our class is going to perform.”

Close to Friday, everyone was very excited.

“Okay, Ms. Lu!” Zhang Shize and a group of boys slammed their desks in agreement.

Bai Lian had a training class to attend after school.

The class teacher of class eight collected yesterday’s practice problems and played today’s video.

After the video was over, the class teacher of class eight didn’t hand out practice problems. Standing in front, he smiled and said, “To promote studying, I’ve decided to create study groups with three to four people in each. Everyone is free to form their own group.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the training class set their sights on Chen Zhu, Ren Wanxuan, and Ning Xiao.

“Brother Zhu, shall we group up?” Ren Wanxuan looked at Chen Zhu beside her.

Chen Zhu nodded, “Naturally.”

Out of the whole school, he only recognized the abilities of Ren Wanxuan and Ning Xiao, He didn’t really care much for the others.

Wouldn’t those two pairing up be a strong combination?

In an instant, everyone in the training class surged towards where Ren

Wanxuan and Chen Zhu were.

Not to mention their scores.

Just based on their family backgrounds, one had to strive to join this duo’s group.

“I’m with Brother Zhu,” Ren Wanxuan glanced at Bai Lian, who hadn’t found a group, before looking at the crowd surrounding her and Chen Zhu, tilting her head, “Why don’t you guys draw lots? We won’t choose. We’ll rely solely on luck.”

Shi Yutong was still absent, so there were two more spots in Ren Wanxuan’s group.

Quickly, the two chosen students let out cries of surprise.

Seeing no hope for themselves, others began to search for other teammates.

Even the reticent Ning Xiao was occasionally disturbed by others, but he didn’t respond.

Only one person was left unapproached, Bai Lian. Bai Lian was attractive, but…

Ren Wanxuan had announced her grades on the first day—85 in comprehensive science. No one knew why she came here and naturally, no one wanted to team up with her since they formed study groups to improve their scores.

In the end, there were only four people left in the class.

“Then Ning Xiao, Bai Lian, Tang Ming, and Zhu Jiaren, you four will automatically become a group,” declared the class teacher of class eight with finality.

Only then did he begin to distribute today’s practice problems.

Zhu Jiaren looked distressed.

After the study groups were formed, everyone quickly adjusted their seats to sit together as a group.

Bai Lian and Ning Xiao were already sitting adjacent to each other, so Tang Ming and Zhu Jiaren took their seats near them.

Tang Ming surreptitiously took out his phone and succeeded in adding Bai

Lian on WeChat, “Classmate Bai Lian, if you have any problems in the future, feel free to ask me.’

Zhu Jiaren leaned on the desk, observing Ning Xiao, who didn’t utter a word and kept his head down doing homework. He was wearing the school uniform and had only initially glanced at Zhu Jiaren and Tang Ming, his dark eyes peeking through long, tousled hair.

His look was so melancholic that Zhu Jiaren involuntarily shuddered.

Then there was Bai Lian. She leaned casually against the desk, idly propping her chin in her palm, a strand of hair falling over and resting on her fair wrist.

She then carelessly put the practice problem aside.

What study group—this was like poverty relief for Bai Lian, thought Zhu Jiaren despondently.

Even if she couldn’t join Chen Zhu’s and Ren Wanxuan!s group, being in another group from class eight would do.

Why on earth did she have to end up in this group that clearly seemed to have no future?

Tang Ming looked at Zhu Jiaren, who had competed with him before, “Zhu Jiaren, let’s discuss any problems together in the future.. Why don’t you add

Bai Lian and Ning Xiao on WeChat too?”
