“Ah~”

The children sighed with regret again, and such sounds echoed in many corners of the auditorium. Compared with the older children who thought about the problems first, the younger children did not have too many thoughts, and they subconsciously started to form teams according to the teacher's instructions.

"Then Zhou Zhengzheng, let's be in the same group."

"How many points did you get in the test?"

"68."

"Your score is too low. I won't go with you."

"Oh you bad bastard!"

Lin Chaoxi was stunned for a while holding the textbook and the Kongming chess box, still feeling incredible, what was going on, how did it become a group elimination? Her first reaction was that there were too many problems with the group system. Some groups might be full of children with good grades, and others might be full of children with poor grades, then there would be no need to take an exam, as soon as the grouping results came out, they could pack up and go home. The most embarrassing thing was that those groups that had both high-scoring and low-scoring students were likely to face the risk of being eliminated because their average scores were in the middle.

So, why is this happening? We encourage the advanced students to help the newcomers, but directly eliminate the worst students?

The children were talking at once and Xie Ran was left out.

Just as she was still thinking about the meaning of this elimination rule, the boy who lived with Lu Zhihao came running over. The boy looked very taciturn, so he almost mustered up his courage and whispered to Lu Zhihao: "Can I...can I be in the same group with you?"

Lin Chao suddenly realized that the surrounding students were looking at them with burning eyes... Of course, they were mainly looking at Pei Zhi, and also at her. After all, the two strongest people in the senior group of the entire elementary school were Pei Zhi and Zhang Liang.

Xiaolu is a loyal northern man, so he didn't think too much and just said, "Why not?"

Upon hearing this, the other students all rushed to raise their hands: "Me! Me too!"

Comrade Xiaolu rarely gets to be so much of a star, and was a little confused for a moment: "There are too many people, we can't be in a group with too many people, and we can only choose six at most, right?" At this point, he went to see the roommate who wanted to be in a group with him and asked, "How do we choose the other four people?

Lin Chaoxi suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and all the classmates who came to see Xiao Lu were petrified.

She put one hand on Lu Zhihao's shoulder, pointed at herself, and asked, "What do you mean by picking 4 more? Aren't you going to be in our group?"

"You guys have such good grades, why should I be in the same group with you and hold you back?" Xiao Lu said righteously.

Lin Chaoxi never dreamed that there would be such an operation. Even his classmate Pei Zhi put down the Kongming chess piece in his hand and looked at Lu Zhihao seriously, his eyes full of confusion.

The scene suddenly became a little silent. All the children who raised their hands to be in the same group with Xiao Lu were shocked by his straightforwardness.

The elementary school student who lived with Lu Zhihao scratched his head and looked over with a bit of embarrassment.

Lu Zhihao quickly understood: "You want to be in a group with them?"

The boy on the other side had no way of answering and could only lower his head.

"Then you have to ask them, not me!" Lu Zhihao said sternly.

The awkwardness continued, while Zhang Liang's group of boys had quickly organized themselves into a team. It was just a small group of them, including Zhang Liang's follower Wang Feng and Lu Ming's group. Zhang Liang took the list from Jie Ran, pressed it on the thick book, and started filling it out.

So now, more children who were besieging Zhang Liang immediately turned around and rushed towards them.

"Lin Chaoxi, can I be in the same group with you?" A girl in a strawberry skirt pulled her and asked.

"Pei Zhi, can we go together?" another student asked Pei Zhi.

Lin Chaoxi and Pei Zhi looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Alas... Lin Chaoxi thought, it turns out that Pei Zhi also has times when he doesn't know what to do, so it's understandable that she is so at a loss, right?

It's not good to refuse, but agreeing to any one child would hurt the other children, which is also not good. It's very complicated, and this is probably their current situation.

Surrounded by kids who wanted to curry favor with him, Lin Chaoxi wanted to rush up to Vice Principal Zhang, who had come up with this trick, and ask him: What on earth do you want to do?

At this moment, she suddenly heard the voice of little boy Huajuan coming from the edge of the crowd.

"Hey, I don't want to be in the same group with you guys either!"

Huajuan said.

Lin Chaoxi glared at him subconsciously and said, "Can you please stop making trouble?"

The little boy Huajuan sat on a chair, put his hands behind his head, rubbed his curly hair, stretched his waist, and said with a playful smile: "I can't hold you back, so it's best for you two to form a team!"

"You" refers to her and Pei Zhi. They all looked at the little curly-haired boy sitting on the chair with his legs crossed. The other children around them also quieted down. At that moment, there was a silence that was almost like a vacuum.

Lin Chaoxi reacted faster and understood Xiao Huajuan's thoughts immediately. He said publicly that even he and Lu Zhihao, as friends, did not take the initiative to join their team, so others should not join in the fun and drag down their average scores.

Lu Zhihao said this was a straightforward statement, but Huajuan said it was the result of careful consideration. But regardless of whether it was straightforward or careful consideration, this simple grouping made the children experience cruelty that they had never experienced before.

Lin Chaoxi wanted to say to Huajuan, "With Pei Zhi and I pulling the points, we can drag you into the next round even if you lie down!" But she forced herself to swallow these words when they came to her lips. This was wrong. This was too hurtful to the child's self-esteem.

She wanted to say something but stopped herself. Huajuan looked at her with childlike innocence, as if he had seen through what she was about to say.

He was laughing and swinging his legs, looking nonchalant.

"I don't like math that much. I'm tired of staying in this crappy place with you guys for another half a month." He said, "I want to go home and play video games!"

Lin Chaoxi licked his lips, feeling that his mouth was dry and astringent. What was going on? It was just a small elimination test, why did it become like this?

"Teacher, please give me a piece of paper."

Suddenly, Pei Zhi's clear voice came from behind.

Lin Chaoxi turned around subconsciously. Pei Zhi was standing in front of Jie Ran without her knowing when. He was holding teaching materials and exercise books in his hands, with a small wooden box placed on the top. He stretched out his hand to Jie Ran.

Xie Ran took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, along with a pencil that Zhang Liang had just returned. Pei Zhi simply held all the things in one hand, and with the other hand, he quickly wrote his name on the paper, and then handed it back to Xie Ran.

"Have you decided?" Xie Ran asked.

"Yeah." Pei Zhi turned around and walked to the aisle, looking at them, meaning: let's go.

Huajuan stood up from his seat and rushed over: "Who did you choose?"

"you."

"Just me?" Hua Juan pointed at her nose, then looked at her and Lu Zhihao, "What about them?"

"I chose it too." Pei Zhi said calmly.

Lin Chaoxi was stunned.

Lu Zhihao was overwhelmed by the favor.

"Hey, I don't want to be with you!" Hanamaki protested.

"But I want to go with you." Pei Zhi, a little classmate, had an expression of ineffective objection on his face. He pressed down his duckbill cap, grabbed Huajuan's shoulders, and dragged him out.

"You can't do this!" Hua Juan shouted, "I don't agree, I don't agree." He said and shouted, "Teacher Jie, I don't want to be in the same group with this person."

Jie Ran was watching this scene with a smile on his face, and suddenly he said, "Oh, don't be nervous. It's okay. You will have another chance to regroup a few days before the exam. If you really don't want to be in a group with them, you can choose new teammates."

Lin Chaoxi was shocked and looked at Jie Ran fiercely: "Teacher, why didn't you say it just now!"

"I said it too early, so I won't be able to see such a touching scene." Xie Ran looked at Pei Zhi and Hua Juan's backs and smiled.

After hearing this, the children stopped worrying about choosing their team members and immediately returned to their previous relaxed state. Perhaps it was because Pei Zhi had chosen the team members so quickly that the other children immediately gave up pestering them and began to whisper to each other.

Lin Chaoxi and Lu Zhihao took two quick steps and occasionally heard the children asking each other how many points they had just taken in the test, and then quickly calculating the average score.

In fact, a simple calculation shows that they now have Huajuan and Lu Zhihao in their group. If Huajuan does very poorly and Lu Zhihao's grades are average, then their group may also be on the verge of elimination. In fact, if they join them, it would be better for two children with average grades to form a team together.

Lin Chaoxi also felt relieved, probably because he no longer had to worry about who to choose, and no longer had to feel guilty about not choosing someone and causing that person to be eliminated.

When she left the small auditorium, she felt quite relaxed. At least at that time, the summer breeze was incredibly soft on her body, and she looked at the pink sunset.

Lu Zhihao was busy calculating how many points he would get in the next test, Huajuan was running and protesting to the front, Pei Zhi was walking in the front, his small figure still made people feel very reliable.

She didn't think about what would happen next and was quite happy.
