There was silence on the other side for a few seconds.
Gu Jianian's heart was about to jump out of his throat. He patiently waited for a breath and asked, "Do I... do I still have a chance?"
There was a faint laugh from the other end of the phone, as if someone was amused by what she said.
"Well, there's a chance. Gu Jianian, please come and register at 8:00 a.m. on September 1st. You will be in Class 30 of Senior High School, and it will be Mr. Zhou's class. But—"
The female teacher's voice was much more relaxed than the last time we talked on the phone. It was less cold and official, and more smiling. "—Three years ago, I promised you a liberal arts experimental class, but this time it can only be a regular class. Will you come?"
Gu Jianian's brain froze for several seconds.
Does this mean that No. 9 Middle School agreed to let her repeat the year
The second hand is ticking away.
Gu Jianian's gaze lingered for a moment on the book on the armrest of the sofa.
The warm yellow reading light shines on the blue cover.
Gu Jianian finally came to his senses and said quickly: "Come, come, I will definitely come!"
The next second, her eyes moved up subconsciously.
As far as his sight reached, Chi Yan lowered his eyes and smiled lazily.
Then he picked up his laptop and started looking at it, not bothering to listen to the follow-up.
Gu Jianian's eyes unconsciously drifted to his face, but his thoughts were still on the phone.
As if she was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, she added: "…Um, do I need to prepare anything?"
"Well, there are a lot of things to prepare."
"Our grade teacher just contacted Lingao High School and got your freshman year political science, history and geography transcripts. Your liberal arts foundation is pretty good, so it's a bit risky to enroll directly in the senior year, but there have been successful cases in the past."
"I'll send you a syllabus for the second year of high school in politics, history and geography. Go buy the textbook and take a look at it yourself. Although you will start reviewing from the beginning in the third year of high school, you have missed a year of classes after all. If you don't want to fall behind when school starts, you should study hard these few days."
Gu Jianian nodded repeatedly.
The female teacher continued, "There are several students in your class who switched from science to liberal arts after their sophomore year and are in a similar situation to you. After school starts, your homeroom teacher will arrange for you to take extra classes in the evening. The cost of this part is included in the payment list for repeating the year, which I will send to you later."
The female teacher said this one by one, and suddenly changed the subject, jokingly saying: "This time, your parents won't regret it again, right? If you miss this opportunity, you won't get it again."
Gu Jianian said firmly: "No."
She didn't explain.
If her parents don't agree, she will be her own guardian.
As for tuition fees, No. 9 Middle School is a public high school and the annual tuition fee is not much.
At worst, she can work part-time to earn money for her studies after class, and she will always be able to get through it.
Gu Jianian thought back to the summer after he graduated from the third year of junior high school.
Before her parents paid for her Lin High School school selection fee without telling her, she rode her bicycle to No. 9 Middle School in the breeze.
She remembered that there was a curve running from west to east at the entrance of No. 9 Middle School. The slope was too steep to ride a bike, so she had to push the bike up.
On both sides of the bend, there are several busy bookstores.
Maybe she could report to her teacher and work in a bookstore during her spare time.
