"Cui Fatty, what are you copying?"
Cui Tianci replied without looking up, "Yesterday's homework!"
"What, there's homework?" He Ximeng was stunned.
After playing basketball yesterday and going home, He Ximeng took a shower, ate, and then lay on the bed recalling Kayla and the children, his coaching experience, Iverson's breakthrough techniques, Curry's three-point shooting form... He fell asleep while reminiscing... completely unaware that he still had homework to do...
"Uh, can I borrow it to copy?" He Ximeng said, reaching to grab the completed homework on Cui Tianci's desk.
"Don't snatch mine! Find someone else to borrow from, or wait until I finish copying first!" Cui Tianci quickly protected the "sample" he had painstakingly borrowed.
"How much longer will it take you?"
"About fifteen minutes!"
He Ximeng checked the time. The morning reading period was only 30 minutes, and He Ximeng hadn't written a single word.
Helpless, He Ximeng had to shamelessly beg for help from Tang Xiaotang, the class monitor and Chinese representative in the front row!
"Um, hey, class monitor, can I borrow your homework notebook for reference..."
"You forgot to do your homework?" Tang Xiaotang looked surprised.
This was because He Ximeng wasn't the kind of underachiever who didn't do homework. On the contrary, He Ximeng always completed his homework on time.
"Ah, yesterday's friendly match with Caota Middle School, I was tired from playing... I accidentally fell asleep..."
Tang Xiaotang knew about the game yesterday. In fact, she and a few other girls from the class had even gone to the gym to watch secretly...
"Okay, which subject do you need?"
"Which subjects had homework yesterday?"
"Chinese, Math, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology all had homework... He Ximeng, you didn't write a single word yesterday, did you?"
"Haha... too tired, really too tired..." He Ximeng chuckled, then stood up and directly took all of Tang Xiaotang's subject notebooks from her desk and moved them to his own... Time was tight, there was no time for explanations...
Although Tang Xiaotang was shocked, she didn't stop He Ximeng from emptying her desk of all her notebooks...
With Tang Xiaotang's notebooks, He Ximeng successfully completed all his homework in one go during the half-hour morning reading period... Well, to be more precise, he copied all the answers in one go. Otherwise, the morning reading time wouldn't be enough to complete all the homework.
After finally finishing all his homework, He Ximeng rubbed his sore wrist and suddenly realized the situation was a bit dire!
Transmigrating back to his senior year of high school meant he could pursue his basketball dreams again, but senior year... it meant He Ximeng had to go through the grueling process of the college entrance examination again...
More than a decade after the college entrance examination, He Ximeng still occasionally had nightmares, where he would cry tearfully in front of the exam paper: "I don't know how to do this question..."
This showed how painful the college entrance examination and the preparation for it were.
It had become a subconscious imprint in the minds of countless Chinese students, surfacing when they slept and causing them anxiety...
In the past, He Ximeng's grades were not bad. His college entrance examination scores exceeded the minimum requirement for key universities in Zhejiang Province. He couldn't reach 985 or 211 universities, but he was definitely qualified for the basketball major at a sports university.
Now, except for English, he had forgotten all the other subjects and returned them to his former teachers. He was back in his nightmare...
"What should I do?" Just as He Ximeng was wracking his brain, unsure how to face the upcoming year of studies and exams, the class teacher entered the classroom with a beautiful girl.
"This, isn't this Zhang Zhenpeng's sister?" He Ximeng was startled.
"That's right! But shouldn't she be in the second year of high school?" Cui Tianci chimed in.
"How do you know she should be in the second year?"
"She told me herself... but, hehe, it's even better that she's in our class..."
"This is our new transfer student, Zhang Tian'ai. Everyone, please help each other and progress together..."
Wow... The boys below applauded enthusiastically. The science class had a disproportionate number of boys, with two-thirds being male. The remaining one-third were girls, but their appearance was generally average.
In Class 2 of Senior 3, where He Ximeng was, Tang Xiaotang was essentially the only beauty.
Now, with Zhang Tian'ai suddenly joining, whose beauty seemed to surpass Tang Xiaotang's, how could these young boys in the throes of puberty not be excited?
Of course, He Ximeng was an exception.
He Ximeng had never been interested in younger girls. Moreover, he hadn't yet emerged from his "married" status. His mind was currently filled with how to play basketball well and get a special admission to college through basketball. He had completely given up on the college entrance examination. He had neither the mood nor the time for dating.
Zhang Tian'ai's gaze immediately fell upon He Ximeng, who was sitting in the last row.
He Ximeng sat in the last row due to his height, while Cui Tianci was relegated to the last row due to his academic performance.
Otherwise, with Cui Tianci's height of 1.73 meters, he wouldn't have qualified to be deskmates with the 1.8-meter tall He Ximeng... Oh, no, the current He Ximeng was 1.85 meters tall!
