Nearing the end of 1998, this year that Su Cen had traveled to was both calm and tumultuous.

The major historical events continued to unfold, whether on an international or domestic level. Su Cen knew that in the first half of 1998 before he arrived, a barbaric act happened in another country over three thousand kilometers away from their mainland, which was condemned by the international community.

However, while the world was in an uproar, ordinary people at home remained unaware. It wasn't until information became more accessible that these events gradually came to light. Of course, one must look at issues comprehensively and impartially.

The most powerful force is the people, but they are also the easiest to incite into doing irrational things.

A nation without a sword cannot wield it openly. Yet, the country had already realized the significant strategic and tactical importance of building a navy capable of venturing beyond the Yellow Sea into the Blue Ocean.

As Su Cen boarded the school bus at year's end, he looked out the window. Winter had deepened; evergreen camphor trees still stood on both sides of the streets, some afflicted with "white powder disease," and authorities were spraying lime sulfur solution to combat it.

Some ancient buildings in this city collapsed, while new ones rose up in their place. Su Cen knew that at least two more generations of construction peaks would pass before Xiahai City reached the scale and level seen later on.

At year-end settlement time, Su Cen's family store had earned a profit of 150,000 yuan in half a year!

In terms of living standards in Xiahai City, 150,000 yuan was the amount that an employee with a mid-level title would need to save for seven or eight years without spending anything. Occasionally, Su Cen would compare this to his family's situation before he had been reborn; back then, failing to pass high school entrance exams and having to pay 6,000 yuan in fees plunged the household into despair and sadness. In contrast, their current situation was entirely different.

Although entering what could be called a golden age for stationery stores in Xiahai City, it was still a small-scale business. Su Cen needed to consider how to get his parents to add plans for franchise stores to the schedule sooner rather than later.

As December approached, a trend of exchanging New Year's postcards among classmates began to take off. While feeling excited upon receiving those small cards from fellow students, there was also a slight melancholy. Many people became aware of their own growth and the subtle bittersweetness that came with it.

Tang Wu brought her postcards into the classroom; some were from former classmates at Third Middle School, while others were from current ones at First High. This indicated her popularity was growing, as she grew more familiar with her classmate circle. Under Du Ting’s influence, a group of high-achieving students began to gravitate towards Tang Wu, who wasn’t as aloof in the classroom as before and occasionally spoke up. Yet, her inherent coldness remained unchanged—except when faced with Su Can; then that icy demeanor would melt away.

The card Tang Wu gave to Su Can was a flip-card postcard with a blueberry scent, one of the better varieties sold in their family store. As it unfolded and released its blueberry fragrance, Tang Wu’s handwriting on the inside page was elegant like a graceful phoenix.

"The greatest talent will lie down day after day on green grass fields, let gentle breezes blow over him, gaze at the sky, yet never receive tender inspiration."

"May your future be bright and fulfilling. May you not just be an observer of landscapes but a participant in them."

Did Tang Wu always think she was a genius Su Can smiled with a start, reflecting on his current situation with a more mature mindset. As he integrated himself with this group of high school students while maintaining a low profile to build up strength, he realized that being called a genius required some measure of courage and merit.

Moreover, as he occasionally caught sight of Tang Wu’s delicate white hands, Su Can wondered when he might take things further.

...

As Chen Lingshan and Xue Yi Yang grew closer, they naturally drew nearer to Su Can. Gao Fan from the second-year grade also often had opportunities to visit her downstairs.

Oddly enough, Gao Fan always felt that Chen Lingshan treated him with a mix of warmth and coldness, which was contrary to his previous belief that he alone could conquer her fortress of pride.

Gao Fan would occasionally compare himself to Su Can.

In terms of courage, could he pick up a brick and face Wang Haoran His inner pride made Gao Fan give an affirmative answer when questioning himself.

But if confronted with Wang Haoran's arrogant group of siblings who swagger around, would he dare to pick up a brick and hit it on the head of Chen Chong, the most unruly student in his grade The answer is absolutely negative.

As for ability, could he interfere when Tang Wu, who has always been a shining figure at school and whose reputation grows larger every day among the first-year students, competes with Yue Zijiang over strength

Gao Fan doesn't have confidence. If all these things that he lacks the courage to do happen to Su Can, someone who was once rejected by Chen Lingshan, what guarantee and assurance does he have that he can definitely win Chen Lingshan's heart when he makes a move

Through his recent interactions with Su Can, Gao Fan has noticed that whenever Su Can happens to pass the restroom or lazily basks in the sun on the balcony, regardless of the situation, as long as he is present, Chen Lingshan suddenly becomes very enthusiastic towards him.

When Gao Fan visits Chen Lingshan alone, she clearly isn't as warm and friendly.

What mental state is Chen Lingshan in Is it a tactic of playing hard to get

This realization made Gao Fan feel somewhat uncomfortable inside. On the surface, he still nodded at Su Can when they met.

One weekend, Gao Fan went out shopping with Chen Lingshan. Carrying bags full of purchases, he walked alongside Chen Lingshan and occasionally talked about his new outfits. Chen Lingshan grew impatient, "Why are you saying all this Are you annoying me You're lying to your dad that the school requires payment for these things! Grow up!"

The suppressed anger in Gao Fan's heart could no longer be contained, "I'm mature Why don't you ask yourself if you are How can you change your opinion of Su Can just because she bought him a pair of Nike shoes that I didn't buy! Are you so materialistic"

Chen Lingshan stared blankly at Gao Fan, and as she looked on, tears welled up in her eyes. Her hands tightly clenched each other; she never expected that a friend she had been close to for several years would see her this way. Even though they were still young, some things could indeed touch the fragile principles within their hearts.

Chen Lingshan endured the twitching of her upturned nose, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she glared coldly at Gao Fan with red eyes. "Is this how you've always viewed me in your eyes Am I really such a realistic woman to you!"

Gao Fan had never seen Chen Lingshan so agitated before, which frightened him; he stammered, "No, that's not what I meant!"

Uh! Gao Fan was immediately kicked in the calf by Chen Lingshan with a fierce kick, causing him to grimace in pain.

Lifting his head again, he saw Chen Lingshan hail a taxi and climb inside as the door slammed shut forcefully.

This incident led Gao Fan to repeatedly loiter outside the entrance of Class 5 Grade 1, calling out to Chen Lingshan who ignored him completely, clearly still in a rage.

In fact, Chen Lingshan had also thought about it: her friends were all aware that Su Can had confessed to her at Xiao Yunyun's house and was turned down. Recently, as she grew closer to him, while she may not feel anything unusual herself, how might others in her circle perceive her

A woman who fell for a man after he demonstrated his potential

Chen Lingshan looked out the window at the scenery rapidly receding, and at this moment, she had an extremely strong sense of self-respect.
