Mo Jingchun smiled slightly, continuing under the eager eyes of the younger students: "Dreams, what are dreams?"
"As the name suggests, it's something you dream about even in your sleep."
"Everyone has their own ambitions, everyone has dreams."
"I don't know if the younger students here were like me when they were kids. Seeing planes in the sky gave us our first dream — to become a pilot. To fly planes across the blue sky."
Mo Jingchun shrugged and said, "Unfortunately, when we reached high school, we realized that this dream is hardly achievable because 99.9% of people don't meet the physical standards, with 99% not having the required vision!"
"Later, we had new dreams, namely getting into an ideal university."
"Maybe some will ask, after the college entrance exam is over, what is the new dream? Is it to continue studying for a master's, or to find a comfortable job after graduating and then find a soulmate to step into the hall of marriage, or to choose entrepreneurship and become an excellent entrepreneur."
Mo Jingchun gently looked down at the adorable little one in his arms and smiled, saying, "Everyone has dreams, and so do I. My dream is to watch my younger sister grow up healthily, and by the way, earn some money to live a better life together with her."
"Half of my dream has already been fulfilled; the remaining half is to accompany this little one to grow up healthy and happy." Mo Jingchun spoke of having fulfilled half his dream and earning some money without mentioning having started any company.
"In this world, only youth and dreams should not be let down. As the flowers bloom just right, and the breeze is gentle, set sail and chase your dreams. Behind every hard work lies double the reward."
"The stage is yours, so I won't say more, good luck! I will be waiting for you at Jing University."
Waving goodbye, Mo Jingchun carried the sleepy little one and walked off the stage.
And the applause from the audience was relentless.
Next up on stage was the senior representative from the liberal arts class — Zhu Fengzhi.
Zhu Fengzhi doesn't have striking looks, and doesn't pay much attention to dressing, but in this school, no one looks down on her.
In terms of memory ability among the same batch of students, Zhu Fengzhi dares to claim second, and no one would dare to claim first.
Even Mo Jingchun admits inferior; her memorization ability is just like Wang Yuyan from the TV dramas.
Books she has read, she can basically remember them all.
In the second semester of the first year, Mo Jingchun got to see what real photographic memory was.
Fortunately, the heavens are fair; Zhu Fengzhi's extraordinary memory comes at the expense of logic skills, which leaves much to be desired.
When it came time to divide into science and arts classes in the second year, Mo Jingchun decisively chose science, and Zhu Fengzhi decisively chose arts.
During the college entrance exam, both didn't let everyone down; one came second in the entire province, while the other came first in the city.
The college entrance exam mobilization meeting for this year's senior students concluded with all the junior and senior students taking a vow for the exam together.
With the conclusion of the mobilization meeting, the students picked up their stools and exited the venue in an orderly manner by class.
As soon as Mo Jingchun stood up, Old Yu called out to him.
"Mo Jingchun, come have lunch with us."
Before Mo Jingchun could say anything, Old Yu cheerfully said, "Don't worry, it's not on me; the school will cover the meal costs."
"Originally, the school leaders planned to invite you and Zhu Fengzhi for a meal, but coincidentally, there's an important meeting at the education bureau this afternoon around one o'clock, so I will be hosting on their behalf."
With the school covering the costs, there's nothing more to say; Mo Jingchun was planning to treat everyone, actually.
Mo Jingchun grinned, "Let's go."
Walking past Zhu Fengzhi, Mo Jingchun smiled and nodded to her, greeting her warmly.
Although they know each other quite well, in reality, Mo Jingchun and Zhu Fengzhi do not interact much.
When Mo Jingchun was carrying his sister Candy and heading to the auditorium gate with Old Yu, there was a girl in a school uniform at the door, frowning and lost in thought.
The girl was precisely Mo Jingchun's younger cousin, Zhou Yaling.
Seeing Mo Jingchun coming out, Zhou Yaling just began to smile, intending to question him, but upon seeing Old Yu behind Mo Jingchun, Zhou Yaling instantly wilted, losing her spirit.
"Why aren't you going back to class?"
Facing Mo Jingchun's question, Zhou Yaling pursed her lips, looking aggrieved.
Is there still a need to ask? Who would stand here foolishly if not waiting for you?
To the side, Old Yu remarked in surprise:
"What's going on with you two?"
"Oh, this is my uncle's daughter, my cousin, Zhou Yaling."
Old Yu nodded, "So she's your cousin, then why not have her join us for lunch."
"Is it Zhou Yaling? Which class are you in, I will inform your homeroom teacher."
Mo Jingchun glared at Zhou Yaling and said, "Why are you standing there stunned? Hurry up and tell Old Yu which class you're in."
"Six... sixth class."
"So you're one of Old Yang's students, then, no problem, I remember Old Yang is still in the auditorium, wait for me." Finished speaking, Old Yu's skinny body squeezed back into the auditorium crowds.
At the door, Mo Jingchun said to Zhou Yaling, "Why are you still standing there? Go return the chair!"
"Oh oh... why so fierce~" Zhou Yaling muttered, feeling wronged, dragging the chair as she sprinted towards her classroom.
When Zhou Yaling ran back from the classroom, she saw Mo Jingchun holding Candy, chatting and laughing with the legendary Old Yu, not knowing what they're discussing.
In fact, during this time, Mo Jingchun also talked with Zhou Yaling's homeroom teacher Yang Kun for a bit, mainly discussing Zhou Yaling's academic performance and usual behavior.
At noon, after finishing lunch, Mo Jingchun took his sister Candy and rode the bus home, while Zhou Yaling was brought back to school by Old Yu.
In the evening, at home with the air-conditioner on, Mo Jingchun safeguarded Candy, crawling all over the bed, while leisurely listening to work reports from Xu Pengfei and Su Wenyan, who had already started working.
Meanwhile, in the third-floor classroom of Class Six in the senior section of County No.1 Middle School, Zhou Yaling was struggling with the final big math problem on her exam paper.
As Zhou Yaling racked her brains, she suddenly felt a large hand patting her shoulder.
Turning around, Zhou Yaling nearly got a fright.
Since when had the homeroom teacher silently come up behind her?
Yang Kun motioned for Zhou Yaling to step outside with him.
Watching the homeroom teacher's back, Zhou Yaling nervously followed him out of the classroom all the way to the main office.
There were only two or three teachers in the office; most were in classrooms teaching or maintaining order.
"So, are you finding your studies quite strenuous lately?"
Zhou Yaling, not quite understanding, just nodded without saying much.
"I've reviewed your academic performance and consulted with your subject teachers; your main issue seems to be in mathematics."
