Double Life: My whole world is you

"Dad! You finish your work first." Zhang Yandi sat aside, flipping through a copy of The Art of War on his desk. "There's still half an hour left. You can leave work then."

"Okay." Father Zhang picked up the pen again and said something as if he had thought of something, "Teacher Wu has delivered your summer homework certificate to you."

"Teacher Wu sent it?" Zhang Yandi was a little surprised.

"Yes! I brought Wang Shun and Luo Xu with me." Father Zhang said, "The principal of the town middle school also called me and is interested in letting you go there to study in the third grade, free of tuition. I have also contacted the experimental middle school in the city. If you are interested, you can also go directly to No. 3 Middle School for the 1+ test (one year of junior high school + three years of high school). With your level, you should be able to get in directly. It's your choice."

Zhang Yandi recalled that in his previous life, Cheng Qiao's grades were similar to those of this test, but he only passed Chinese among the six subjects. After he came back from his hometown, his father sent him to the city to take extra classes for ten hours a day. In his third year of junior high school, he was in the city's experimental middle school. In addition to the school courses, he also hired a one-on-one tutor. Finally, he stood out in the last few city-wide tests in the third year of junior high school. He was admitted to the Hongzhi class of No. 1 Middle School in advance. He counted the days to meet her for half a month. And he told himself in his heart that he must become friends with her, but she did not go to high school. In the end, although they became friends, she didn't even know what he looked like...

In her last life, fate had played tricks on her, and she had not been admitted to No. 1 Middle School. This time, he wanted to use the summer vacation to help her improve her English. In this life, he wanted her not only in the third year of junior high school, but also in her high school, her university, and every day of her life thereafter...

"Silly boy, why are you grinning like an idiot?" Father Zhang tapped him. "Have you decided to take the 3+1 exam for No. Middle School?"

"Ah?" Zhang Yandi came back to his senses, "No! Dad, I'm still in Qiaozhong Middle School."

"Didn't you dislike this place at first?" Zhang's father said, "The environment at Qiaozhong Middle School is really bad! The third year of junior high school is even harder!"

"It's true that Qiaozhong Middle School is tough," Zhang Yandi said, "but they train people! I failed at first!"

Father Zhang nodded and said, "No matter what choice you make, I will support you!"

"Thank you, Dad!" Zhang Yandi smiled happily, "I will start making appointments with my classmates to study together tomorrow."

"Okay!" Father Zhang took out his wallet and gave him 500 yuan. "Buy whatever you need. If you don't have enough, come back to me."

Zhang Yandi took the money from Zhang's father with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."

The next morning, Zhang Yandi came to the town's Blue Sky Internet Cafe. He sorted out several English test papers online, and went to the bookstore to buy a basic English tutorial book. It was not yet nine o'clock, so he hurried back. He first went to find Wang Shun and told him about his plan. Wang Shun was not very interested in summer tutoring, but when he heard that he was going to find Cheng Xia, he instantly became interested. "Okay, I'll go and meet a few friends at the intersection at one o'clock in the afternoon."

Zhang Yandi arrived at the intersection at 12:50. He stared at the route Cheng Qiao took to go home. He felt that time was passing very slowly. He hoped that he could fly to her side by riding his bicycle...

At 1:05, everyone arrived. Zhang Yandi smiled and greeted Luo Xu and Cheng Jun. He didn't know the other two girls well, so he just nodded. Several people carried their schoolbags, and two girls sat on Cheng Jun and Luo Xu's bicycles. They rode their bicycles to Chengliang Bay. Cheng Xia had just finished her work. She was moving her things and was about to go to the small woods across the mountain to take a nap. She was a little surprised to see them coming, "Why are you here?"

"'Tiger' called me and asked me to organize everyone to study, so I asked Xiao Shunzi to come to you." Zhang Yandi explained, "We will come to you first today, and then go to Cheng Song and the others tomorrow."

"Sure! I can ride a bike too. I'll borrow one and go with you guys." Cheng Xia said, "How about we learn here? There's grass here. I'll go home and get some cantaloupe and water."

"Okay. Then I'll go find Wang Bei and the others." Wang Shun said, "And call Cheng Qiao by the way."

"Don't say it's a coincidence!" Cheng Xia said, "She went to the city yesterday."

Zhang Yandi was stunned. [She’s not here?] Wang Shun didn’t pay attention, but pulled him aside, “Then let’s go find someone first.”

Zhang Yandi came back to his senses and asked casually, "When will she come back?"

"Is that a coincidence?" Cheng Xia said, "She will be back in a few days."

"Didn't you say the specific time?" Zhang Yandi asked again.

"She said yesterday that she would be back in two days." Cheng Xia said, "What do you want to see her about?"

"Tiger told me to pay more attention to her, especially English, and try to improve her score to 90 points in the next semester." Zhang Yandi explained with a smile, "I said yes."

"Tiger gave this order?" Luo Xu was surprised. "What about me?!"

"He helped you improve more than ten points in each subject." Zhang Yandi replied calmly.

Luo Xu was shocked. "I have to thank Tiger."

Although Zhang Yandi was lecturing on the questions the whole afternoon, he was in a daze the rest of the time. [What's going on? She's not here? Should we go to the city tomorrow to try our luck?]

"Yan Di, it's half past four, let's get ready to go back!" Luo Xu said happily on the side.

"Okay! Let's go!" Zhang Yandi stood up and looked in the direction of Cheng Qiao's grandmother's house.

"Wang Shun, do you want to come over tomorrow, or should we wait at the intersection so we can go find Luo Ting and the others together?" Cheng Xia asked.

"Yan Di, what are your plans?" Wang Shun asked Zhang Yan Di who was standing beside him.

He remembered what he had said, so he said, "Let's go find Cheng Song and the others tomorrow!"

In order to make up their excuses, they went to see Wang Shuai again on the third day, and on the fourth day, at Cheng Xia's suggestion, they went to see Zhang Ying and Zhang Hui. On the fifth day, they still didn't see Cheng Qiao. Zhang Yandi didn't smile the whole afternoon. After all, he hadn't seen the person he had been thinking about. When they were about to leave, he couldn't help but ask Cheng Xia, "Don't you have Cheng Qiao's contact information in the city?"

"No! Her mother doesn't have a cell phone." Cheng Xia said helplessly, "It's a pity that she didn't come back with such a good opportunity."

Zhang Yandi nodded, and said to everyone calmly, "We have studied for four consecutive days. Tomorrow is the weekend, so we have two days off. See you next Monday!"

"Okay, okay!" Luo Xu was the first to agree. "It would be too much if you continue. We all have weekends at school."

"There are no weekends on the third year of junior high school." Wang Shuai said, "We need to get used to this kind of life in advance."

"Yan Di, I feel like you've forced me into a habit. I do my homework in the morning and discuss difficult problems with everyone in the afternoon. I really feel like I've made great progress." Cheng Jun on the side thanked him earnestly, "Yan Di, thank you for your organization and thank you for everyone's help."
