Chapter Eighty-Nine Emerges

  Song Jie didn't want to bully the little kid, but today's encounter was really too frustrating. She was so unlucky that she regretted not taking a leave of absence today. In order to get rid of these few junior high school students, she had no choice but to deceive them a bit. She didn't want to show off her magic in public and be regarded as a monster.

  "Alright, I understand what's going on now. From now on, I definitely won't bully Zhang Yao again, you can all rest assured. Okay, it's getting late, let's all go home and have dinner, your parents must be worried sick."

  Several half-sized kids, you look at me and I look at you. One of them spoke up first: "Older brother, it's too late, I have to go, my mom said she'd give me chicken legs for dinner tonight, I'll leave first." After finishing speaking, he turned around with a backpack that made a "clattering" sound and ran off.

  There's another one who thinks it's not fun, everyone has left, leaving only myself is even less interesting. "Boss, I'm also leaving, you should leave too, they've all agreed with you, what are you still doing here?" After saying that, he also left.

  Only their tall and proud figures were left disheveled in the wind...

  Song Jie saw that everyone had run away, and she also pulled Zhou Muya to walk aside together. Suddenly, her chest began to feel hot, with a scorching heat that made her almost faint.

  Song Jie bent down and covered her chest, she could almost immediately confirm that it was a spatial issue, what specific problem it was, but suddenly thought of that unlucky engagement.

  It came quickly and went quickly, suddenly "whoosh" disappeared without a trace.

  "Song Jie, are you okay? Does your stomach hurt?" Zhou Muya was startled.

  Song Jie pretended not to hear, stood up and ran towards the big road beside the small path. When she rushed onto the big road, she only saw a car's tail shadow quickly turn into a small dot...

  She covered her chest, feeling a little lost and didn't know whether she was relieved or disappointed. This was the first time she had been so close to someone she couldn't avoid.

  In fact, I'm not completely indifferent either. Song Jie said with a self-deprecating smile.

  Zhou Muya was frightened on one side and stood beside Song Jie, feeling a little at a loss, thinking that her good friend was so strange and distant at this moment.

  Song Jie turned her head and saw Zhou Muya's frightened appearance, burst out laughing loudly, thinking to herself, whatever, let him be.

  "Let's go, let's go home."

  Zhou Muya nodded and didn't dare ask more questions, silently walking alongside.

  When Song Jie slept, she was a bit restless. Thinking of what happened during the day made her feel suffocated, and all the unlucky things came together. A young child had many troubles, even if they didn't provoke others, problems would always find their way to her head.

  She thought about skipping grades again. Originally, she had made up her mind to go all the way through school smoothly, but with these kids, it was simply a waste of time every day.

  A wonderful childhood doesn't have to be about following the rules, it's better to follow your heart and not put shackles on yourself. Song Jie made up her mind to stay away from trouble. Skipping grades is still a better option.

  Having figured this out, she slept especially soundly that night, without even having a single dream.

  The next day she went to school as usual, and in the evening she told everyone about her decision.

  。

  "Have you thought it through?" Zhao's father felt that even if a child was clever, they should still have a happy childhood. Now the child had made their own decision, so it was better to respect it.

  "I've made up my mind, every day's classes are so boring, I think it's a waste of time," Song Jie said out her decision. Although the education system will be changed to nine years in the future, but every year is a waste of time, just thinking about it is shameful.

  It's definitely not possible to suddenly propose skipping a grade, the school will certainly not agree. It's still necessary to wait until after the new year and next semester, and at that time it will depend on whether the school agrees or not.

  Relax and stay in school, occasionally enjoying Zhang Yaotong's flying eyes. Song Jie is living a carefree life.

  It was just Zhou Mu Ya's childish shoes' resentful little eyes that had been lingering around Song Jie, making her feel depressed.

  "What's wrong with you? Let people worry about it!" Song Jie was speechless, did he have to be so melodramatic.

  "You heartless thing, we can't be together anymore, and you still say that to me... Waaahhh..." Amidst fake crying.

  Song Jie: "......" That's quite ambiguous.

  "It's not like we won't see each other anymore, we'll still go to and from school together, except for class time, we can also be together during breaks, just like before. During class, we can't talk anyway, is it any different whether we're together or not? Besides, it's not confirmed yet, who knows if the school won't allow it?" Song Jie was really bad at comforting kids.

  Zhou Muya wasn't really heartbroken, it's just that her good friend was skipping grades, she just felt a little reluctant to part with her, and it didn't feel right in her heart.

  "I know, I thought so too, but unfortunately, I won't be able to ask you for help with my homework in the future."

  Why hold yourself back like this? You're a clever little girl, but you always seem to be careless in your studies, and every time you just barely miss getting full marks. As for school, Song Jie's favorite person is Zhou Muyan, who looks just like her best friend from her past life - optimistic and generous, as if she can dispel all the gloom.

  Unfortunately, I didn't get in touch with that good friend until death, due to the long distance relationship. Now thinking back, there is still a faint sense of regret.

  Time flies quickly, and before you know it, December has arrived, and winter vacation is just around the corner.

  Every time there is a holiday, the classmates in the class are always particularly excited, discussing which day they can have a holiday and how many days they will have off. This is an eternal topic for students that will never go out of style.

  Even the most annoying exams couldn't delay everyone's enthusiasm for the winter break. After the exam, they copied down the winter holiday agreement that the teacher had written on the blackboard, listened to each subject teacher's assignment, and all the classmates quickly rushed out of the classroom to welcome the arrival of the new holiday.

  Song Jie was fortunate enough to experience student life again. She suddenly found that attending classes at 8 o'clock every day, and having a two-month vacation as soon as the holiday started, was especially happy.

  This year's Spring Festival was particularly dull. Zhao Juan didn't go out because of her pregnancy, and only came to have a meal on the third day of the New Year before leaving again.

  Zhao Tong even went south for his wife and is expected to stay until after the Lantern Festival before returning, his situation makes people worry.

  Song Jie felt that this year's Spring Festival was really bleak, with only her and her grandparents at home to keep the vigil. But watching the familiar Spring Festival Gala, listening to the laughter of the elderly around her, she suddenly felt that everyone was struggling for their own happiness, which was great!

  Before the holiday, Song Jie had already made an appointment with her class teacher, Wang Laoshi, saying that she was going to skip a grade.

  It's a good thing that the child is making progress and can't be delayed. Teacher Wang asked her to listen after the New Year, and also asked parents to come in person.

  On the seventeenth day of school opening, Song Jie was sent by Zhao's father himself. Originally, it should have been Zhao Juan who came, but she was not feeling well, so Grandpa replaced her.

  Teacher Wang brought Song Jie to the principal's office. Since it was a morning of the first day of school, there were no classes, so the principal and teachers had plenty of time. After delivering the person, Teacher Wang left.

  Principal Li had long heard that some students would skip grades, and for Dongfeng Elementary School, such things were truly rare. It also drew his attention, if it was a good seedling, it wouldn't be impossible to give the green light.

  Principal Li and Mr. Zhao are about the same age, a wise old man. Song Jie had only caught glimpses of him from afar before, but now she sees him clearly. The big black-framed glasses, which would normally look rustic on most people's faces, seem fitting and suitable on Principal Li's face, adding to his charm.

  The two elderly men sized each other up, shook hands and exchanged pleasantries before Principal Li got straight to the point.

  "I heard that Song Jie, you're going to skip a grade?" Principal Li asked with a gentle tone.

  "Yes, Principal."

  "Isn't it a bit too hasty to jump straight to the fourth grade? Can you keep up with the pace? Don't you need to consider this again?" This sentence was directed at Zhao's father, and in Principal Li's opinion, the adults should be the ones making decisions.

  Zhao's father had already discussed it with Song Jie, and since they were going to skip a grade, they might as well skip two grades at once. After all, there was only half a semester left before entering the third grade, which wasn't very worthwhile. Song Jie didn't care about this; anyway, she was already extremely familiar with these textbooks.

  "It's still no use, we've all discussed it at home." Zhao's father didn't hesitate either.

  Principal Li no longer hesitated: "Alright, let's do it your way. But before that, Song Jie needs to make a few test papers first. After all, we still need to assess them. I think you all know why. Let me make this clear beforehand, if the results are not good, then they will have to continue attending second grade."

  Zhao's father and Song Jie both nodded in understanding, naturally unable to make demands when one is inferior.

  Under Principal Li's indication, a female teacher next to him took out several test papers and let Song Jie answer the questions at a desk beside her.

  Song Jie opened the test paper and took a look. On it were written the third-grade final exam questions and the fourth-grade final exam questions.

  This question will certainly not be on this semester's exam, it is Principal Li who asked other teachers to specially prepare a set of stereotyped questions, striving to ensure that these questions have never appeared in any other test paper.

  She roughly flipped through it and found that all the questions above were particularly simple. Song Jie had something on her mind, picked up a pencil and started answering the questions.

  She answered the questions very quickly, as the test papers for these two grades were divided into Chinese and mathematics, with two test papers for each subject, making a total of eight test papers, which also took time to answer.

  Jian Song Jie's pen moved swiftly, the female teacher beside her furrowed her brow and leaned in, writing too quickly, as if she hadn't thought it through at all.

  This is math, take a closer look, the female teacher silently wrote down the answer in her heart and compared it with Song Jie's answer, which turned out to be completely correct.

  If she hadn't known that the test paper was carved by her own hands, and there was no leak, she would have thought that Song Jie had seen this test paper in advance.
