The subjects were assigned after the end of the semester, but that didn't affect the students' enthusiasm.

Being assigned subjects was definitely a good thing for students who were partial to subjects, but there were also people who were particularly troubled by it, such as students who were similar in liberal arts and science. There were also some special reasons, such as Song Yao. Her liberal arts grades were obviously better than her science grades, but applying for liberal arts meant that she definitely couldn't be in the same class as Chen Yaoyang.

When she entered the class in the first year of high school, she could ask her family to think of a way to find a way to be in the same class as Chen Yaoyang, but after the subjects were assigned, no matter how powerful her family was, it was impossible unless she studied science, because Chen Yaoyang had never thought of studying liberal arts.

But if he really studied science, it was very likely that she wouldn't be able to catch up. After all, Chen Yaoyang was very likely to enter the elite class.

After the subjects were assigned in the second year of high school, there were 36 classes in total. Classes 1 to 10 were liberal arts classes, and classes 11 to 36 were science classes.

Among the 36 classes, there were three elite classes, one liberal arts class, and two science classes. They were Class 8, Class 18, and Class 28. Probably the school was a little superstitious and thought that the number eight was more auspicious.

The best students in each class in the first year of high school formed the elite class, and the best students had the best teachers to ensure that more than 99% of the students in the college entrance examination were online. This kind of data was very helpful for the school's enrollment.

When Song Yao was in her first year of high school, she could rely on her liberal arts grades to enter the top 50 of her grade. However, without her liberal arts grades, if she really entered the top science class, she had no idea where she would end up.

Therefore, no matter how much Song Yao liked Chen Yaoyang, she still didn't dare to be so lovey-dovey.

There were some bald people in the class who were worried about being assigned subjects. Every day after class, they ran to the bathroom to discuss with their parents. Everyone was talking about being assigned subjects.

After Qiao Lan had almost made up his mind, he asked Tan Mo what he wanted to study.

Tan Mo actually didn't care about liberal arts or science. He never paid attention in class, but if he had to choose one, he would lean towards science.

Now that Qiao Lan asked him, Tan Mo didn't answer. He was smart enough to think that this question should be answered by Qiao Lan first.

What should he do if he said that he wanted to study Theory, Qiao Lan? Although he could change his mind, Tan Mo didn't think it was a good idea. Although Tan Mo didn't understand why it wasn't a good idea.

He did not answer. Instead, he Qiao Lan asked, "What about you?"

Qiao Lan held a pen in his hand and swiped it twice in the book. "Let's learn the theory."

"Then I'll choose logic too," Tan Mo answered very quickly this time.

Qiao Lan put down the pen in his hand and smiled. "I also think you're suitable for studying theory."

Although Tan Mo was excellent in both liberal arts and science, his most outstanding feature was his sharp logical thinking ability. Because he read a lot, he was slightly better than others in liberal arts. However, in science, he could rely on his IQ to be much better than others.

Moreover, Qiao Lan had studied literature before. Later on, he also knew that liberal arts wasn't the so-called rote memorization. The further one went, the more questions one would have to express one's subjective thinking. This was especially true for history. Tan Mo didn't have an advantage in expressing his subjective views.

As for Qiao Lan, Qiao Lan originally wanted to study literature. After all, she had studied literature before. If she continued to study literature, her second and third years of high school would be easier. However, she didn't have that kind of personality.

In the past, Qiao Lan majored in finance in university. Although this major accepted both liberal arts and science students, when it came to the actual major, science students still had an advantage.

In the two years of high school, science students were not only more difficult than liberal arts students in mathematics, but also in the long-term improvement of their logical thinking ability.

Qiao Lan studied finance for more than a year and liked this major. If there were no accidents, she might still apply for finance in university. Now that she had a chance to do it all over again, it wasn't a bad thing to study science. Moreover, physics, which worried her the most in the past, was not enough to scare her anymore.

With her and Tan Mo's grades, it shouldn't be a problem for them to enter the elite class. The school set up three elite classes. Qiao Lan could now confirm that the probability of Tan Mo entering class 18 was more than 95%.

The reason was very simple. The teaching building of the affiliated high school had five floors, and each floor had four classes. Therefore, class 18's classroom was on the first floor, and class 28's classroom was on the fourth floor. The school still took the students' specialties into consideration.

Qiao Lan wrote a big "18" in her notebook. She hoped that she could also be assigned to class 18.

In the blink of an eye, the busy first year of high school came to an end. The final final exam was around the corner. The form teacher told Qiao Lan in private that she had to do her best for the exam. If she could secure a spot in the top three of her grade, she would be able to get the school's second-class scholarship, which was 3,000 yuan.

Qiao Lan knew about the scholarship last semester. She was prepared to take the three thousand yuan before the head teacher told her. To her, three thousand yuan was equivalent to half a year's living expenses.

However, when she remembered her determination to get the first prize, Qiao Lan couldn't help but smile and continue to study hard.

This final exam was a little different from last semester. Some close friends were about to be separated. Some emotional girls went back to the classroom and cried for a long time after the exam. Most of the boys were still fooling around.

When the results came out, everyone was less curious about the results than before. Qiao Lan raised her head and took a casual look. However, when she saw the ranking, she was stunned. She suddenly raised her head and took a second look.

She didn't see wrong. This final exam, the highest score in the class was not Tan Mo. It was actually her.

Qiao Lan hurriedly opened the school website with her phone and pulled out the report card. She stared at the name on the card several times to make sure that it was her.

She was the first in the class. As she scrolled down, Tan Mo actually dropped to the third place.

How could it be?

Tan Mo got full marks in all the subjects he was good at, such as mathematics. He also got higher marks in history and geography. However, when she looked at the end, Qiao Lan understood everything.

Chinese, zero.

Qiao Lan didn't have time to marvel at the fact that Tan Mo could get third place even though he got a zero in Chinese. She clearly remembered that Tan Mo entered the exam room on the day of the Chinese exam, so he didn't miss the exam.

Qiao Lan held her phone tightly and turned her head to look at Tan Mo's face. The young man's delicate and beautiful face was looking at her. When he saw Qiao Lan looking over, he didn't expect to be caught off guard. His expressionless face was slightly broken by panic.

Qiao Lan took a deep breath. "Tan Mo, did you hand in a blank paper?"

The young man's light brown eyes trembled. He turned his face. "… I wasn't feeling well that day."

He clearly didn't have any expression, but the traces of lying were too obvious. He was like a child who thought his performance was perfect.

Then Qiao Lan stopped talking.

Tan Mo was most afraid of this kind of atmosphere.

He couldn't understand her expression or her body language. As long as she didn't talk, he would fall into a daze.

He thought of this idea when his homeroom teacher told him about it. Although he still didn't understand why Qiao Lan didn't want him to spend money, he vaguely understood that he could use other methods to add more money to the card that Qiao Lan gave him.

However, he was also worried that Qiao Lan would be as angry as before. Although these two things were not the same, they had some similarities.

Qiao Lan stopped talking. Tan Mo couldn't guess what she was thinking. Qiao Lan stopped talking. Tan Mo suddenly thought of a lot of things. Was she going to be angry again? Was she going to ignore him again …

Before he could think of a reason, Qiao Lan's familiar voice entered Tan Mo's ears.

Qiao Lan said to him, "Thank you."

Since Qiao Lan could see that Tan Mo was lying clumsily, she wasn't so stupid that she couldn't figure out why Tan Mo was doing this.

Should she explain it clearly to Tan Mo like last time and make both of them unhappy?

Qiao Lan felt that people should always know what's good for them.

If there were people in this world who were good to you and were willing to do all they could to treat you well, then there was no need to care about some random things that would ruin the atmosphere.

Tan Mo didn't do all this for her to blame him.

What Qiao Lan needed to do was not to blame Tan Mo for doing what he did wrong. She needed to know how to be grateful and then think about what she could do to better Tan Mo. She didn't want the young man's good intentions to not be reciprocated.

Qiao Lan opened the grade ranking. Because of Tan Mo's demotion, she returned to the first place of the grade.

At the end of the last semester, Tan Mo rushed to the United States, so he missed half of the language exam. Although Tan Mo got first place that time, his total score was less than Qiao Lan's by less than 10 points. This time, Tan Mo got a zero in language, so Qiao Lan scored much higher than Tan Mo.

In total, Qiao Lan's score was higher than Tan Mo's. The first-grade scholarship for the first year of high school had already landed in Qiao Lan's hands.

"Tan Mo," Qiao Lan suddenly turned her head and said to Tan Mo, "The first-grade scholarship costs 5000 yuan. When I get the money, let's go out for a meal. I'll think about what I want to eat. Do you have anything you want to eat but haven't eaten yet? I'll go find you after the holidays. We'll go without telling Uncle Chen. You like sweet things, we can go …"

Qiao Lan listed a lot of places and a lot of things in one breath. Tan Mo looked at her quietly from the side and said after a while, "Can we go to all of them?"

It was too difficult to choose, Tan Mo thought. If Qiao Lan was with him, he would want to try every place and every delicious thing.

"All of them?" Qiao Lan pretended to think for a while. "It's not a problem. I'm a rich woman now."

The two of them excitedly talked about their plans for the summer vacation. Tan Mo asked Qiao Lan what she was going to do during the summer vacation. Qiao Lan said that she was probably going to find a job and earn more money.

Tan Mo was silent for a while. He probably wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He just told Qiao Lan that they had agreed to go out for a meal together. However, he was afraid that she would forget his home address, so he wrote it down and sent it to Qiao Lan.

The students in the class who didn't know what was going on looked at the two of them and whispered.

"I saw Tan Mo take the exam the other day. How come he got a zero in Chinese?"

"I don't know. We don't understand the thoughts of geniuses."

"Our school has a scholarship, right? Doesn't that mean Tan Mo has no chance of getting the scholarship?"

"Haven't you seen the car that picks up Tan Mo every day? Do you think Tan Mo is someone who cares about that little money?"

"It's five thousand. Okay, I want it too …"

No one could guess the truth. Only Pei Ning, who had a good relationship with Qiao Lan, and Chen Yaoyang, who was very smart and liked to pay attention to Qiao Lan recently, seemed to have guessed something, but they didn't say anything.

The first year of high school came to an end with the students reluctantly saying goodbye to each other and ushering in the 50-day long summer vacation.

Qiao Lan started to think about how she was going to spend the summer vacation.

During the summer vacation, the school didn't allow students to live on campus. Qiao Lan also didn't want to go back to the Qiao family. Qiao Lan was thinking about whether she should rent a house or find a job that provided food and accommodation to earn some money. Suddenly, Uncle Chen called Qiao Lan.

If Tan Mo was looking for Qiao Lan, he would usually use his own phone number to contact her. Since Uncle Chen was calling Qiao Lan, it meant that Uncle Chen was looking for her.

This was the first day of the summer vacation. The school allowed students to stay in the dormitory for three more days. Qiao Lan was browsing 58 on her phone in the dormitory. After Uncle Chen called, Qiao Lan quickly went downstairs.

She didn't know how Uncle Chen got in. Uncle Chen smiled and asked her to get in the car. Qiao Lan glanced into the car and didn't see Tan Mo.

Normally, people wouldn't think that the relationship between parents and children would be so stiff. Qiao Lan didn't tell Tan Mo that she wouldn't be going home during the summer vacation. There was no need to let Tan Mo know about this. It would make him feel bad.

However, even though Qiao Lan could hide it from Tan Mo, she couldn't hide it from Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen had lived half his life and could see through people and things.

Qiao Lan could be so heartless as to move out of the house and live on campus. It was obvious that the relationship between Qiao Lan and her parents was irreparable. The first year of high school was over. Uncle Chen sometimes asked Tan Mo indirectly. From Tan Mo's words, he found out that Qiao Lan's parents didn't seem to care about Qiao Lan after Qiao Lan lived on campus.

Therefore, Uncle Chen guessed that Qiao Lan probably wouldn't go home during the summer vacation.

He called Qiao Lan's homeroom teacher. After confirming that Qiao Lan hadn't left the school, he was even more sure of this idea. Therefore, he called Qiao Lan the next day.

Qiao Lan had known Uncle Chen for more than half a year. She was very familiar with Uncle Chen and was very grateful to him. After chatting for a while, Qiao Lan asked Uncle Chen why he was looking for her. Uncle Chen frowned and thought for a long time. Then, he said awkwardly.

"Yes, there is such a thing."

Uncle Chen said that Aunt Chen suddenly went back to her mother's house. He didn't know when she would be back. Uncle Chen originally wanted to find someone to take care of Tan Mo. However, Tan Mo was very resistant to outsiders. Therefore, it was difficult to do.

Therefore, he thought of Qiao Lan.

"Lan Lan, you and the young master are friends and classmates. Originally, I felt a little bad to ask you for this kind of thing. However, other than the two of us, he can only talk to you."

Qiao Lan didn't agree.

The main reason why she didn't agree was because she was afraid that Uncle Chen and Tan Mo thought that she didn't have anyone to take care of her. Therefore, they came up with this idea.

After all, Tan Mo purposely gave the scholarship to her. Uncle Chen's level was much higher than Tan Mo's. Qiao Lan really didn't know if Uncle Chen was telling the truth.

While Qiao Lan was hesitating, Uncle Chen continued, "I'll take care of the young master's daily life. The nutritionist will send him everything he eats every day. There won't be any heavy work and he won't be too tired. You don't have to worry at all. As for the salary, it will be according to …"

"No, no," Qiao Lan hurriedly said, "I'm not thinking about this. I'm thinking …" She paused, probably hesitating about what to say, but in the end, she still told the truth. "I was wondering if Uncle Chen wanted to help me. That's why you came looking for me."

Uncle Chen smiled. "It's true that I want to help you. However, it's also true that my wife is home and the young master needs someone to take care of him." Then, he added.

"It's also true that the young master wants to see you."
