On the second day after returning from the spring outing, before everyone could relax, Old Ye gave them an extra assignment— writing an essay with the spring outing as the theme.

Dream-Ge scratched his head, spread out his composition paper, and wrote the first sentence with a pen: "It was a little hot on the day of the spring outing. After all, it was summer, so I brought three bottles of mineral water."

Yang Yuchan happened to be passing by and swept a glance at the beginning of Dream-Ge's essay, only to be shocked. "Considering your elementary level word choice and sentence structuring, how did you even pass Chinese literature?"

Dream-Ge pondered seriously. "It's probably all because the teacher who graded my papers was sincere, kind, and merciful?"

Yang Yuchan had nothing to say and instead passed by Dream-Ge and headed towards the classroom's last row.

There was nothing written on the composition paper in front of Chu Yu and he was mumbling words with dazed eyes. "We went hiking, there was a Taoist temple on the mountain, there was a well and ginkgo trees next to the Taoist temple, and there was a stream at the back of the mountain. Ah, I was really happy that day!"

After he finished reciting, he asked Lu Shi, "If I wrote that and handed it in, would Old Ye doubt life?"

"No, he'll make you rewrite it."

Lu Shi placed a piece of draft paper in front of Chu Yu. "Fine outline, follow it."

Yang Yuchan, who'd been standing to the side for a while now, quickly cleared her throat and said, "Uh... Hello?"

Only then did Chu Yu notice Yang Yuchan. "Are you looking for me? What's the matter?"

"It's about the project I discussed with you last time. I just received news that someone invested money ahead of me and lost profits. A visual assessment states that it'll collapse even more severely in the future."

Yang Yuchan was incomparably glad. "Fortunately, you stopped me at the time, otherwise it would've been me who lost money."

Chu Yu didn't take the credit. "I only spoke, you were the one willing to listen, right?"

He then remembered. "By the way, didn't you say that you haven't found any good projects to practice your hands on recently? I actually found one. I'll send you an email later so you can take a look at it."

Yang Yuchan didn't ask any more questions, replying succinctly, "Okay, I'll respond after reading it."

After Yang Yuchan walked away, Chu Yu leaned close to Lu Shi to talk to him, stunned. "It's over. If it continues like this, I think I might become a genius investor in the business world! Alas, I'm only 18!"

Lu Shi smiled lightly, raised his hand, and pinched Chu Yu's soft, white earlobe. "Genius Investor, you need to write your essay first."

Chu Yu grimaced for a second while looking at the composition paper in worry. "My god, this genius investor is about to be killed by the clutches of an essay composition!"

The closer it drew to the third year of high school, the faster the spread of a tense atmosphere.

For example, Fang Ziqi's dark circles had gotten heavier by two points, which made Chu Yu want to ask him how late he stayed up every night. He was also very worried about what to do if the Study Committee Member couldn't hold on any longer and fainted in the classroom.

Another example was the rapid decrease in the number of times Dream-Ge jumped out to play basketball, and him taking make-up lessons four out of the five times he was on dates with his girlfriend.
