Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 477 - 344. High schools don’t focus on puppy love
After the physical education part of the middle school exams concluded, there was less than a month left, and everyone entered an even busier study period.
On a certain afternoon at the end of May, the school organized them to fill out their middle school exam preferences in the computer room's lab.
Unlike the college entrance exam, where students fill out their preferences after receiving their scores according to previous years, the Hong Kong region's middle school exam still had the format of filling out preferences before taking the exam, even more than a decade later.
Because of a prior understanding, the six students only independently filled out 'Licheng Middle School' in advance, then they directly chose to submit in the bottom right corner.
They weren't really worried about whether they could get into their desired schools. Even if they truly didn't make it, they wouldn't attend the schools offered in the first, second, or even third round of admissions.
High school is different from university; there are still many backdoors to take advantage of. Not to mention Zhang Chunxue, even taking into account Lin Qiaoshan's connections in Li City, it would be a piece of cake to get all six of them into the high school department together.
And as for the exchange, it was simply a matter of donating a few hundred thousand to refurbish school facilities, or establishing scholarships directly.
Their parents greatly respected their choices, so the process of filling out middle school exam preferences went without ripples, followed by an even busier cycle of drilling and discussing exam questions.
It wasn't that every second was spent on intense studying. Aside from relaxing during physical education classes, they still had many opportunities to sneak in some leisure.
For instance, today.
The more intensely competitive college entrance exam had already ended a few days ago, and today was the day Licheng Middle School's high school department invited various middle schools in the district to visit and inspect, commonly known as Campus Open Day.
Not every school had the resources to hold so-called open days, nor did every middle school student have the opportunity to participate.
The former is easy to understand; after all, some schools only require three to four hundred points on the middle school exam to be admitted, so no one would pay attention before the results came out, but after the results, begging to be accepted is a different story.
As for the latter, it is even easier to understand. After all, there are more than twenty thousand people taking the middle school exam in Li Cheng District every year, and only about a thousand of them can be admitted to the high school department.
The school they were currently attending was considered an established middle school in the district, with around one hundred and eighty students each year being admitted to the high school department, so they were allocated about two hundred spots to visit.
Xu Qingfan and the five girls were naturally included in that number.
Around 8 in the morning, leaving behind the noisy sounds of studying, the six of them, under the envious gaze of their classmates, left the class with their backpacks on.
Although they had loudly declared their intentions to attend the high school department long ago, except for Xu Qingfan, the five girls had actually never scouted the location before, so today was perfect for inspecting their future learning environment for the next three years.
All the way there, Lin Wanning was very excited. After all, they had a legitimate reason not to stay in school and study, a feeling those in the know would understand.
"Brother Qing Fan, do you think Licheng Middle School's classrooms have air conditioning?"
"They should have, they were just built the year before last. I heard that the multimedia equipment is top-notch and that the cafeteria even has roast chicken wings." What he said wasn't just hearsay; he had actually lived and studied there for four years in a previous life.
"Brother Qing Fan, do you think the campus is beautiful?" Lin Wanning kneeled on her seat in the bus, turning around to chat with Xu Qingfan.

"It's beautiful, when the evening broadcast plays music and you watch the sunset, it must be very beautiful." A hint of nostalgia appeared on his face.
"Brother Qing Fan, do you think..."
The two conversed back and forth, and since there were already many people enthusiastically talking on the bus, it didn't disturb anyone else.
As for those who were trying to memorize vocabulary words in what they called 'fragmented time', no way, they couldn't really think it was effective, could they?
"Brother Qing Fan, when we get to high school, we need to be in the same class!" Lin Wanning declared with determination in her eyes.
Just then, the bus reached its destination. Xu Qingfan's gaze flickered slightly: "Let's talk about that later."
After he spoke, he was the first to shoulder his backpack and get off the bus, while Xia Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yiyi seemed to ponder his words, giving him a few extra glances.
Lin Wanning simply assumed Brother Fan wanted to wait until everyone was admitted to the high school department before discussing it further and happily shouldered her backpack to follow.
"High school department, here I come~"
Upon alighting, they didn't need to queue up; teachers from Licheng Middle School had already gathered at the entrance to wait for them.
The person in front of Xu Qingfan looked somewhat familiar; it seemed, in a past life, he had even taught Xu Qingfan politics. But, since he had chosen a specific stream of subjects by their second year of high school, he wasn't entirely sure.
The lead teacher was speaking in front of them using a megaphone, while they, too, whispered among themselves within the group. For most of them, this high school was where they'd spend the next three years of their life studying and living.
As soon as they entered the school gates, they were greeted by a particularly large square, with the ground paved with neatly laid marble, where the whole school would gather for the flag-raising ceremony every Monday. Even with over three thousand teachers and students standing, it wouldn't seem crowded; it must have been at least ten thousand square meters in size.
Upon entering, the five girls began to inspect the school environment with a sense of novelty. The moment they got off the bus and saw such a large square, many who accompanied them couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"It feels even bigger than our elementary school!" Xiao Ruawen exclaimed within their group of six.
"Our elementary school is only over one hundred acres. The official website says Licheng Middle School covers over three hundred acres, which is over two hundred thousand square meters. Of course, it's big." Xu Qingfan said with a shoulder shrug and a smile.
Many people didn't quite grasp the concept of three hundred acres, but when they heard it translated into over two hundred thousand square meters, many listeners couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.
After all, many universities didn't even cover an area that large.
