Chapter 456 - 390 Going to School
Half an hour later, Yan arrived on time.
She looked at the two, "Are you both done?"
"Big sister, I’m done," Qin Mei handed over the test paper she had completed.
Yan took it, glanced at it, then turned to Qin Yu, "Are you not done yet?"
"...Yes, done..."
What could be done was already done, no problems there.
As for what he couldn’t do, even with more time, he wouldn’t be able to do it.
Yan took it and glanced at it but didn’t say anything.
"Take a break for a while; we’ll have the math exam in ten minutes."
Qin Yu, "... Big sister, can’t it be postponed until tomorrow?"
Yan looked at him, "No."
Qin Yu: ...
He felt his days of suffering were about to begin.
Indeed, as he expected, because he messed up both his Chinese language and mathematics exams, the results were not particularly ideal, one seventy and one eighty-two.
For himself, he felt it was okay, but compared to his sister who only lost two points in Chinese and scored full in mathematics... his results were truly embarrassing.
There was even an age difference between them.
Thus, he completely suppressed the idea of advancing to the same grade level as his sister... He couldn’t just let his little sister drop a grade to join him in junior one, could he?
Would he even be considered a man then?
Therefore, he did not resist the intense tutoring that the big sister was planning for him over the next few days.
That lasted until the thirtieth.
Then, on the thirty-first, he and his sister were supposed to report to school.
"Do I not need to accompany you?" Wenming really wanted to go; after all, sending children to school was a distant memory for him.
It was quite a nostalgic thought.
Yan did not realize how much he had on his mind and directly refused, "No need, it’s just the two of them reporting in. I can take them."
"Alright then! Walk slowly," Wenming had a slight regret in his heart, but he agreed.
Madam Rong also wanted to go, but she didn’t speak up after seeing Yan’s decision.
Luckily, the house they originally bought was quite good, not too far from the school, so they could walk back and forth to school in the future.
"Let’s go." As soon as Yan spoke, the two youngsters immediately shouldered their new schoolbags and followed.
This time, because there were three of them, Yan chose to walk instead of using the bicycle.
They were registering at City North First Middle School.
Both of them were entering junior one.
Because last night, before bedtime, Qin Mei had expressed her desire to enter junior one.
She wanted to be in the same grade as her second brother.
Yan had asked why, but Qin Mei strongly indicated her desire to be in junior one.
So, Yan nodded in agreement.
After all, Qin Mei was only thirteen; it was fine for her to attend junior one.
But Qin Yu didn’t know about this until they were registering.
He was surprised. He was about to ask what was going on when Qin Mei quickly tugged him and whispered, "Second brother, I want to be with you, I’m scared on my own..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately rid himself of any other thoughts.
"Then, let’s be in the same class."
Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel at ease.
If he had to blame something... then it would only be his inadequate academic performance.
But from now on, he must study hard and not continue to hold back his little sister.
The procedures were quite smooth; the school had already made arrangements... However, it wasn’t Yan who arranged it, but Old Master Qin who had made the arrangements himself.
"Alright, I’ll take you to your class first." Yan initially thought she’d leave after finishing the registration but found out they had to stay today.
Qin Yu hurriedly intervened, "Big sister, we know which class it is. We can go on our own; you should go back first! You don’t need to wait for me; I’ll go back with my sister later."
Yan looked at him, "Are you sure?"
Qin Yu patted his chest confidently, "Of course, it’s just a small matter. Please go back, big sister!"
Although Qin Mei was timid, she wasn’t afraid with her second brother around.
So when the big sister looked at her, she quickly also said, "Big sister, second brother and I will be fine. You can go back!"
Seeing that both siblings were prepared, Yan nodded, "Alright! I’ll go back first."
It was only a fifteen-minute walk back home. With Qin Yu there, it wouldn’t be a problem.
He certainly couldn’t forget such a short route.
Qin Yu might not study as well as his sister, but he had a good memory, especially when it came to directions; he was very good in that aspect.
"Goodbye, big sister!" The siblings said in unison, then watched as their big sister walked away decisively.
Qin Yu: ...
Clearly, the big sister wasn’t too worried about them anymore.
But that was a sign of her trust in them, making him feel quite pleased.
Turning away, he looked back, "Little sister, let’s go!"
They were quite fortunate this time to be placed in the same class.
Both were in junior class one.
Because of the few days of forced review by his big sister, he felt confident about any class division exams that might come tomorrow.
"Alright." Qin Mei whispered in agreement.
The siblings then walked towards the school building.
"This school is really big." Moreover, the school wasn’t just large; it appeared much better than the one they had attended in their town before.
Qin Mei nodded, sticking close to her brother.
She was actually quite nervous.
If this had been six months ago, even with her brother present, she wouldn’t dare walk around in such a school as it would have caused her immense anxiety.
But now... with her big sister’s visible and invisible reassurances, her courage had grown quite a bit. Though she still felt a bit uncomfortable in crowded places, overall, she didn’t feel as panicky as before.
