<h4>Chapter 206</h4>


    The school-wide sports meet at Qianpu Middle Schoolsted two days and finally concluded on Friday afternoon.


    Thanks to the excellent guidance of their ss Teacher, ss 1 of the second year of high school secured the top position in their grade for sports meet points.


    It was only through the ss''s first-ce finish in the teampetition that the ss Teacher had the opportunity to go up to the awards podium and receive a trophy.


    This sports meet was, in a way, a triple win.


    The ss Teacher got his trophy, which he ced in the most prominent spot in his office.


    Whenever he chatted with anyone, he would inexplicably mention, "How did you know that our ss won first ce in the teampetition at this year''s sports meet?"


    He would shake his head and continue, "I thought these kids only knew how to bury their noses in books. Who could have imagined they''d be no slouches when it came to ying sports? I didn''t expect them to win any awards initially. I just hoped we wouldn''te inst ce. After all, you know, our kids have good grades, so normally, you''d expect them to be a bitcking in athletic talent."


    Many teachers in the school had heard this spiel from him, and they maintained polite smiles out of respect for their colleague.


    The homeroom teacher of ss 2 next door nearly lost hisposure when he heard this, thinking, "Isn''t he just saying that our ss''s kids are bookworms who only know how to study?"


    ss 2 was the advanced ss, with students who had excellent grades, which is why they ended up inst ce at this sports meet.


    The ss 2 teacher really wanted to argue with his colleague, but he realized it was just a couple of sentences, and if he got upset over such a small matter, it might affect his image in front of the leadership. In the end, he swallowed his pride and said nothing.


    After returning to his ss, he urged his students to work harder and harder, cing even higher expectations on the top students in the ss.


    He wanted them toplete more practice papers to bring the top spot in the grade back to their advanced ss.


    For a long time, ording to the traditional ss cement system, the top thirty students in the grade would be assigned to the advanced ss. Although in future exams, students from regr sses might catch up, and some students from the advanced ss might lose steam, at least the top twenty students in the grade would still be from the advanced ss.


    Unlike now, where the top student in the grade wasn''t in the advanced ss, and even among the top ten, four weren''t from their ss.


    For the ss 2 teacher, this gap was a bit toorge.


    The students who were expected to perform well opened their eyes wide, feeling as if they had been given a budget of a few hundred dors and asked to invite a national billionaire to thepany to impart wealth-building wisdom. They wondered if this was reasonable.


    There was a gap of nearly thirty points between them and Shi Li. How easily could those thirty points be closed?


    The rtionships between ss 1 and ss 2 students were actually quite good in private. During the summer vacation, when the top students from ss 1 came back to school for sses, only ss 1 and ss 2 were on the entire floor.


    Although the advanced literature ss was also there for sses, they were on the upper floor.


    In the end, it was the students from ss 1 and ss 2 who yed together.


    Even though ss 2 had more people during the summer vacation and could have been self-sufficient, they couldn''t resist going to ask Shi Li whenever they encountered problems.


    There was also the bond of adopting cats together, so the rtionship between the two sses was much better than the ss 2 teacher imagined.


    The ss 2 teacher was somewhat immature and thought his students would resent the neighboring ss 1 in private.


    In reality, not only was there no resentment, but the students from both sses got along very well.


    The two sses even had a private group chat, so when the ss 2 teacher had just finished giving instructions to his students, the students from the other ss also learned about it.


    Shi Li also found out that several students from the neighboring ss were eyeing her first-ce position, which instantly made her feel overwhelmed.


    However, all of this stemmed from the ss Teacher''s love of showing off.


    This sports meet had earned the ss Teacher a trophy.


    Some students in the ss made up for their owed points and even had a surplus by cing in events at the sports meet.


    After the sports meet ended, seeing that the ss Teacher was in a good mood, other students took advantage and insisted he treat the whole ss to a meal.


    The ss Teacher''s monthly sry was not small, and besides his sry, he also had performance bonuses. This meal was no big deal for him, but when it came time to pay, he still put on an act of looking pained, as if his heart and liver were being carved out.


    This expression of his thoroughly amused the whole ss.


    After this meal, the National Day mini-vacation followed.


    Although they didn''t need to attend sses during these two days of the sports meet, they had been running around outside the whole time. Returning home and checking the step count pushed by their apps showed over 20,000 steps.


    After getting home, all they wanted was to rest well for two days.


    However, on the first day of the holiday, Shi Li''s n to sleep in failed.


    Early in the morning, Huang Jie stood by the bedside and asked her, "The eldest son of the Ji family is getting married today. Are you going?"


    She had originally nned to ask her daughter about thisst night, but because Shi Li had a ss gathering and came home veryte, Huang Jie had already forgotten by then.


    It wasn''t until this morning at breakfast that Shi''s father mentioned that their daughter had been studying very hardtely, so maybe they shouldn''t take her along today and let her rest well at home instead.


    Huang Jie, feeling that her daughter had be much more cheerful recently, although uncertain whether she would want to move or be willing to make the extra trip, decided to ask if she wanted to go.


    Shi Li rubbed her eyes drowsily, lookingpletely confused, and asked Huang Jie, "Mom, what did you just say?"


    Her daughter''s appearance was exactly like the youngest cat in the family when it woke up, melting Huang Jie''s heart. She softened her voice and said, "Dad and Mom are going to attend a wedding in a while. It''s the eldest son of the Ji family. If you''re too tired from the past few days, you don''t have to go. You can stay home and rest."


    Huang Jie had already found an excuse for her daughter, but Shi Li sat up straight and said, "Mom, I want to go."


    Huang Jie was puzzled by her daughter''s sudden reaction, "Alright, then take your time getting ready. There''s no rush. Your dad and I will wait for you downstairs."


    Shi Li jumped out of bed and pushed Huang Jie out of the room. Without dawdling, she began to change clothes efficiently.


    Although she was very tired and sleepy, and could have performed a "deeply in love for a hundred years" scene with her bed, she absolutely needed to attend this wedding today.


    When Shi Li arrived at the hotel where the wedding was being held with her parents, it was still quite early.


    The parents of the Ji family, with red flowers pinned to their chests, were standing at the hotel entrance to greet guests. To avoid disturbances, the entire hotel had been booked by the Ji family.


    Ji Feiyu, the youngest daughter of the Ji family, was standing properly behind her parents. When she saw Shi Li, also following behind her parents, Ji Feiyu suddenly had an uneasy thought: Would there be any unexpected incidents at her brother''s wedding?
