The next day.
The second semester of senior year started.
Tang Qing stood at the school gate.
Seeing his classmates after a gap of more than half a month, Tang Qing felt a sense of warmth and longing. This year, many things happened that shouldn’t have happened at his age. He shot a gun for the first time, killed a person for the first time, dealt with gangs and bullies, attended various banquets, invested in companies, and so on. Reflecting upon these experiences didn’t bring him joy but rather a feeling of confusion. Perhaps growing up isn’t always a good thing. He’d rather carry his school bag every day, go to school, attend classes, and daydream in his free time.
Now, as he suddenly re-entered the relatively innocent campus, far from battles and business, without having to scheme against others or worry about personal interests, doing simple things, school seemed really good. All he needed to do was simply be a good student.
Thinking of this, Tang Qing chuckled.
Perhaps this was the masochistic trait in human nature. Owning things others didn’t have, living a life that others envied, standing at the peak of his peers, he was basically a life winner. Yet, he wished for a more ordinary life. Perhaps he had set his standards too high.
"I’m becoming more and more ordinary," Tang Qing mocked himself.
"Old Tang, what are you doing standing at the school gate? Looking at beauties?"
A hand landed on Tang Qing’s shoulder at that moment. He didn’t have to look to know from the voice that it was Li Kai.
"I’m looking at the moon," Tang Qing replied nonchalantly without turning his head.
"Get lost, where do you see a moon during the day... wait, there really is a faint moon." Li Kai was about to mock Tang Qing when he noticed a faint trace of the moon in the sky. Although it was faint, it wasn’t unusual to see the sun and the moon in the sky together on a winter morning where they lived.
"Haha, let’s go to class," said Tang Qing with a smile. After sorting out his emotions, he walked briskly towards the campus. It was best to cherish the present.
Li Kai quickly followed.
"Old Tang, have you finished your winter break homework? Let me copy some of it later, I still haven’t finished it," said Li Kai as he caught up with Tang Qing.
Tang Qing chuckled and said, "Why would I do that stuff? I didn’t even move a finger."
"What? You... You..." Li Kai stared at Tang Qing in surprise. He couldn’t form a complete sentence. He viewed Tang Qing as the top student of their grade, a model student. The fact that Tang Qing completely ignored his winter break homework shocked him. But, he realized, given Tang Qing’s academic performance, did he even need to do those assignments? Teachers probably wouldn’t say anything about it. However, all he could do was envy this treatment. After all, Tang Qing was the top student.
"Haha, what about you? If you can do what I do, you should try it," said Tang Qing with a laugh.
Li Kai, who had been made fun of by Tang Qing, recovered and retorted, "Hmph, if you dare, only answer half of the questions next time. I promise my score will be higher than yours."
"..."
Tang Qing was speechless, this wasn’t a normal demand. Who else would dare to make it?
Well, you win, because I really wouldn’t dare to do that.
"Hurry up, we’re going to be late." Seeing that he had won the round, Li Kai laughed and put his arm around Tang Qing’s shoulder as he walked towards the school. Although the touch was a bit uncomfortable, it reminded him of his previous life when he used to attend school with Li Kai, spending their days together in a daze.
Senior high school, here I come again.
For the next few days, Tang Qing resumed his student life.
The week after school started, the Monthly Exam began. Without a doubt, Tang Qing secured the title of top student again. His score also improved slightly. He scored 741, which left the principal, his homeroom teacher, and all his subject teachers smiling ear to ear.
They were relying on Tang Qing to make a name for themselves in the forthcoming National College Entrance Examination. His previous score had already been circulated within the upper echelons of various schools. If it wasn’t for the principal’s intervention, Tang Qing would have been approached by a lot of schools requesting him to transfer. His scores were not just good, they were extraordinary.
With only three months left for the National College Entrance Examination, a countdown timer had already appeared on the blackboard. Stimulated by Tang Qing, everyone in the class started studying hard, especially Wang Yan. Seeing Tang Qing leading the crowd, she had to keep up.
...
March 1, Tuesday.
Midnight.
Tang Qing quickly completed his arbitrage transactions for the day. Due to the appreciation of the Euro, the total profit fell below RMB 15 million, amounting to only RMB 14.97 million. Moreover, the profits were declining slightly every day, but Tang Qing didn’t care about this small loss. Even if the profit was only RMB 10 million, he still felt it was significant. People shouldn’t be too greedy. He was neither a miser, nor afraid of losses. After all, it was himself who would be disturbed by such things. So, why worry about it at all?
After completing the arbitrage transactions, Tang Qing called up his personal information.

In the previous month, Tang Qing hadn’t overdrawn his personal loan quota, so the data remained the same apart from his account balance and experience nothing really changed. The 30 million he spent earlier to repay Liu Qian’s 4 million dollar debt amounted to a total of 62 million RMB. However, in just over a week, he recouped it all, bringing his bank balance to over 740 million.
