Chapter 26: Wild stars are lights

Beilin in October.

After several consecutive autumn rains, the crabapple leaves outside the teaching building drooped their heads.

On this Friday before the National Day holiday, as soon as the evening bell rang, the classroom began to boil like a pot of water.

The students of Class 30, who had been suppressed for a month, cheered as they packed their schoolbags and walked out of the classroom in groups of two or three, planning how to spend the first long vacation since the start of school.

Dormitory students are no exception. Most of them return to the dormitory to pack their luggage, preparing to go to their respective homes, near or far.

Before the heavy rain poured in through the windows, there were finally only two people left in the classroom.

Gu Jianian sat in his seat and began to sort out the wrong political questions from this month's exam.

She missed a whole year of political science, history and geography classes. In the past month, she has used almost all of her spare time to catch up.

Fortunately, every night, the teachers would give special lessons to the three repeaters in the class who were switching from science to liberal arts, and Gu Jianian also worked hard day and night to study mathematics and achieved certain results.

—At least the results of the first monthly exam two days ago have improved a lot compared to the baseline test at the beginning of the school year.

In a blink of an eye, a whole month had passed since she left Yunmo.

It is already late autumn in Beilin, and short-sleeved shirts have been replaced with sweaters.

My repeat year at No. 9 Middle School went on as planned for a month.

During this month, apart from talking to his grandmother once a week, Gu Jianian had no time to contact anyone.

Moreover, the discipline of No. 9 Middle School is no more lax than that of Lin Gao. Boarding students need to hand in their cell phones, but they can use the public phone at the dormitory office to contact their families every week.

After talking to her grandmother on the phone again and again, she stopped in front of the pay phone but was unable to press any number.

She didn't have his number.

Although only one month has passed since Yunmo’s summer, it has become as vague as a dream.

Every day, after hiding in bed and memorizing history books until he fell asleep, Gu Jianian would dream of Yunmo’s lush bamboo mountains, emerald-like rice fields, and wild roses all over the mountains.

And the person walking in front of her on the mountain road lit by the starlight in the wilderness.

Gu Jianian was distracted for a short while and caught a glimpse of the photo of the Zhou University Library on the corner of his desk. He immediately forced himself to focus back on the test paper.

“… To solve contradictions, we need to analyze specific problems…”

"…opposites, unites…"

“…development of production and expansion of domestic demand…”

This is the study method that Gu Jianian figured out after much thought in order to improve his study efficiency and review speed after the start of the school year.

When practicing questions, don't pay too much attention to complete sentences, and don't mindlessly recite lengthy answers. Instead, learn to grasp the key points and focus your limited brain on the key words for each scoring point.

In order to catch up with everyone, Gu Jianian reviewed until two or three o'clock almost every day. However, after a week or two, she found that blindly memorizing too much was not effective.

She encountered the first difficulty since repeating her senior year.

Fortunately, this time there were no rounds of tutors sharing various yet contradictory learning experiences with her, and no anxious parents around to accuse and scold her. Gu Jianian finally had time to sit down and think about a learning method that suits her.
