Chapter 745 2 Not Confused 5
Meng Yubei looked at him with disdain, but still curled up the corner of her mouth and said, "I can tell you, but you have to go to the same university as me in the future."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yinan was stunned: "Huh? I still have a long way to go. What if I don't have enough points by then?"
"That's why I'm setting a goal for you, otherwise how will you have the motivation to work hard?"
"Sis, which university are you planning to go to?"
"Beijing University."
She hadn't participated in the competition before, so she hadn't considered the possibility of being admitted to university through a special program.
She had taken the entrance exams for Tsinghua and Peking Universities before, so she didn't think taking the college entrance exam was that troublesome.
"So far?" Meng Yinan had no doubt that his sister could go, but felt that it was too far from home.
Meng Yubei didn't think it was far: "It's less than three hours by plane."
"So, after you graduate, are you going to stay there and work?"
"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation." She hadn't decided what to do next, and she needed to think about her major again.
Upon receiving the news, Meng Yunan rushed off to tell his parents and Zhou Xun.
Not only is Meng Yubei about to take the college entrance exam, but Meng Yunan is also about to take the middle school entrance exam, but people here aren't as nervous.
If he performs at his usual level, he is fully capable of getting into the same high school as Meng Yubei.

"Ayu, are you really planning to go to Beijing?" Zhang Xin asked, linking arms with Meng Yubei as they chatted on the school's playground.
Meng Yubei nodded: "Yes, it's decided."
"I'll miss you. You were my only good friend in high school."
"You can come with me too."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin's eyes lit up: "That's right, I can also apply to Peking University, then I'll be in the same school as you again."
Meng Yubei couldn't resist pinching her round face: "Didn't you think about this before? What are you thinking about all day?"
Zhang Xin puffed out her cheeks that had been pinched: "I've always wanted to live closer to home, and I was also worried that I wouldn't get the score I deserved."
"So why are you confident again now?"
"It's because I studied with you and my grades kept getting better and better. I even got into the top three in the grade in the last monthly exam, which gave me confidence."
Meng Yubei smiled and said, "Now that you've chosen a school, how about you think about what major to choose?"
"Hmm... let me think... oh dear, I need to go back and think about it carefully. What about you, Ayu? What are you planning to study?"
"Finance." This was what Meng Yubei had in mind. In any case, she needed a reasonable reason to make money first.
While those with family backgrounds are generally better suited to study finance, starting from scratch is also perfectly feasible.
"Finance is great, it suits you. Why don't I study it too, and then I'll follow you around?"
"You think so highly of me? This concerns your future, you should think it over carefully," Meng Yubei said.
"No need, I've decided to choose finance. Actually, I'm not particularly interested in it. If it weren't for you helping me improve my studies, I might not have passed the exam. I'm sure I'll be right to follow you in the future."
Zhang Xin couldn't explain why, but she had a deep trust in Meng Yubei.
"You should discuss it with your family again. You still have time to think about it."
"Haha, let me tell you, if my parents knew that I was going to the same university as you and even choosing the same major, they definitely wouldn't have any objections. In fact, they'd be thrilled."
Because the two got along well, they would often visit each other's homes.
Although Meng Yubei is a homebody, she has visited Zhang Xin's home a few times, and her parents always welcomed her warmly.
After all, adults generally like children who have good grades and are excellent, and those who have particularly good grades are the "other people's children" in their eyes.
For the past three years of high school, Meng Yubei has consistently held the top spot in her grade. Parents and teachers alike adore her; she's the famous "other people's child."
Zhang Xin's grades had previously hovered around the top ten in her grade, but now she has entered the top three.
When her parents found out, they were even more eager for her to play with Meng Yubei.
If it weren't for the inappropriateness, they would support her going to the Meng family to eat and sleep with Meng Yubei.
Meng Yubei recalled how she always received a warm welcome from the Zhang family whenever she visited, and knew that Zhang Xin was telling the truth.
Since that's the case, Zhang Xin can come and work for her from now on.
Having an assistant and partner would save her a lot of trouble, and she would never treat her unfairly if she worked for her.
"Since you've made up your mind, then focus on preparing for the exam."
Zhang Xin nodded, happy that she wouldn't have to be separated from her good friend: "Yes, there are still some questions I don't understand after practicing recently. I'd like you to analyze them for me. If I don't know the answer to a question on the test, I'll cry my eyes out."
Meng Yubei pulled her toward the teaching building: "Okay, let's go back to the classroom first."
The two returned to the classroom. Their seats were both in the row by the window. Meng Yubei was the first, and Zhang Xin was the third.
Zhang Xin moved a chair to sit next to Meng Yubei and suddenly felt that Zhou Xun, who was sandwiched in the middle, was a bit of an eyesore.
Zhou Xun glanced at the two sitting together and then continued working on his problems.
"I wish I could surpass Zhou Xun and become second, so I could sit behind you and it would be easier for us to talk."
Zhang Xin leaned close to Meng Yubei's ear and whispered something.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yubei curled her lips into a smile: "Although there's no chance to change seats now, you can surpass him in the college entrance examination."
"Yes, I'm sure I'll surpass him." Zhang Xin's voice rose several decibels as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
Zhou Xun paused several times while writing, but still couldn't help saying, "Could you keep your voice down? I heard you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin felt a little embarrassed and turned around with an awkward smile.
Meng Yubei smiled and said, "You only aim to surpass Zhou Xun."
Hearing her say that, Zhang Xin instantly regained her confidence: "Yes, I just want to surpass you, that's all."
Zhou Xun glanced at the two of them, but his gaze was more drawn to the amused look in Meng Yubei's eyes.
He didn't show anything, only casually saying, "It's unlikely that you'll surpass me in the short term, but it's not like there's no room for improvement."
His words were merely stating facts and he did not mean to look down on anyone.
Although Zhang Xin has made great progress, rising from eighth in the grade to third in the last monthly exam in two years, she is still more than ten points behind Zhou Xun.
Don't underestimate those ten-odd points. The higher you rank, the harder it is to close the gap, and the fewer questions you can answer incorrectly.
Just like how he had always been a few points behind Meng Yubei, and despite his hard work, he hadn't been able to catch up.
Of course, this doesn't mean Zhang Xin isn't as good as me, but rather that she needs more time. Everyone's progress requires time and effort.
Zhang Xin also knew that it would be difficult for her not only to maintain her grades but also to make progress, although she was unhappy with what Zhou Xun said.
But seeing that he didn't mean anything by it, I didn't say anything more.
