青雀的传奇故事始于黉学。
自青雀入学算起，到她毕业为止，凡有考试成绩记录在册，“青雀”二字身后必随一大写数字“陆拾”——雷打不动，绝无例外。
起初，黉学导师只觉青雀不过天资平平，大抵不是做学问的料，便未有过多追究。然而，随着那醒目的数字陆续填满黉门成绩册，导师们终于意识到此事恐怕并非巧合。
很快地，与导师们促膝长谈便成了青雀的家常便饭。听多了也便知道，这些个大儒们翻来覆去也不过几种腔调——起手言必称她“文静乖巧”、“天资聪颖”，后复又带些埋怨“可惜好脑瓜用错了地方”，末了再画一大饼“若是能将这股巧劲专用在学问上，那必能怎怎怎”……
可自己究竟想要什么生活，青雀心里比导师们更清楚。谈心时不停复读“啊对对对”、“嗯好好好”，转头便又上课伏案睡大觉，然后在考试中低空飞过——这就是青雀面对导师们威逼利诱时给出的答复。
先生们终于磨没了耐心。最后，他们只能在青雀的毕业评价一栏恨恨留下一笔：
Character Story: Part I
The legend of Qingque begins at the lyceum.
From the time of Qingque's freshman year right through to her graduation, whenever exam grades were announced, the word Qingque was always followed by a number written out in full: 60, with no exception.
At first, her tutors thought that Qingque was just an average talent unsuitable for academia, so they didn't really look into things. However, as the same number kept turning up in the examination records, her tutors began to suspect that this wasn't a coincidence at all.
Very soon, having long conversations with the tutors became a common occurrence for Qingque. Anyone familiar with this kind of sophistry will recognize that handful of sayings: at first, she's "quiet and well-behaved," or "gifted." Then, later on the tone will shift to blame, "A pity that big brain of yours is going to waste," before the grand finale:"If only you could dedicate such ingenuity to your studies, then blah blah blah..."
But Qingque knew the kind of life she wanted far better than her tutors do. She kept repeating "Oh, yes yes yes," and "Mmm sure sure sure," before turning straight around to fall asleep at her desk, and just scraping by during the next exam — this was how Qingque responded to the coercion and threats of her tutors.
They finally ran out of patience with her. In the end, they could only leave behind a resentful message in her yearbook:
"It'd be difficult for her to achieve greatness"
