"Jiang Nian, I hope you can give me an explanation. Even if you haven't been back to school for a long time, your grades have dropped too much. Look at these questions. Several of them are very simple, but you still got them wrong."

The homeroom teacher pointed to the test paper and said to Yue Jiunian. Yue Jiunian was so embarrassed by what she said that she didn't even dare to look up. She looked at the score on the test paper and actually felt a little ashamed, even though she really didn't know how to do those questions.

Seeing Yue Jiu Nian like this, the homeroom teacher didn't know what to say. She sighed deeply, waved to Yue Jiu Nian, and said, "Sigh~ Never mind, go back and study first, sigh~"

When Yue Jiu Nian saw that the homeroom teacher had let her go, she nodded and took her test paper back to the classroom. However, when she entered the classroom, she made sure to fold the test paper neatly, not wanting anyone to know her score so as not to be too embarrassed.

The girl with glasses was already in the classroom. The class monitor and the academic representative were handing out test papers to the students. After seeing their scores, everyone was chattering and discussing the questions with their test papers in hand.

After seeing Yue Jiu Nian return, the girl with glasses immediately took out her test paper and said to Yue Jiu Nian, "Hey~ why are you so late? Let me see your grades, let me see how you did on the test."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiu Nian immediately hid her test paper in her schoolbag and said, "Emmm, well, actually I didn't do very well on the test, so you might as well not look at it."

The girl with glasses didn't quite believe Yue Jiu's words. She still wanted to see the test score. She said, "Oh, take a look. How bad can it be? At worst, you'll just barely pass. Everyone in our class is pretty good. How bad can you be? Let me see it."

Yue Jiu Nian still held her schoolbag tightly, refusing to let her see it, saying, "No, I really did terribly on the test. My homeroom teacher just scolded me. Please don't look at it, okay? I really can't bear the embarrassment."

Seeing that Yue Jiu Nian was so determined not to show it to her, the girl with glasses had no choice but to give up. She said, "Fine then, tell me exactly how badly you did on the test?"

Yue Jiu Nian reached up and touched her nose awkwardly, saying, "Uh, I failed."

The girl with glasses was a little surprised and said, "Wow, really? You actually failed? Won't our homeroom teacher be very angry? I heard that very few people fail in her classes."

Yue Jiu Nian, feeling incredibly embarrassed, slumped onto the table and muttered, "Um, well, there are always exceptions, you know, and I'm one of those exceptions, aren't I?"

The girl with glasses pushed up her glasses and said, "Fine, hopefully you'll be the only one in the class who fails, otherwise the homeroom teacher will definitely yell at you."

Not long after they finished talking, the homeroom teacher arrived. Fortunately, she didn't announce everyone's grades. She simply told everyone to study hard and then left. However, she gave Yue Jiu Nian a disappointed look before leaving.

After Yue Jiu Nian understood the look in her teacher's eyes, she didn't react. She had just secretly sent a message to Yue Jiu Ling on her phone, telling them what her grades were. Although she was teased by Yue Jiu Ling and the others, she also received a lot of comfort.

Yue Jiuling said: Anyway, you're going to come back to our place eventually. So what if you don't do well on the exam? I was worried you wouldn't be able to come back even if you did well. Alright, hurry up and get your things sorted out and come back soon. We're waiting for you to help us move.

After being comforted, Yue Jiu Nian no longer cared about her grades. While others were studying hard, she secretly wore headphones and listened to music, and sometimes even listened to crosstalk. She was completely immersed in her own world of joy, which was out of place and completely unrelated to the tension and diligence of others.

'Ding-ling-ling~'

The last self-study period of the morning finally ended. Yue Jiu Nian packed up her things and went to find Liu Zhan. She had made an appointment with Liu Zhan to go home in the afternoon, as she didn't want to stay at school.

When Yue Jiu read aloud, she arrived at the first floor of the teaching building and saw Liu Zhan and his two classmates waiting for her.

"Sister, we meet again."

The boy with glasses waved to Yue Jiu Nian, and another cool-looking boy said, "Let's go, Zhan said he'd treat us to something to eat. Sister, is there anything you'd like to eat? Shall we go together?"

Yue Jiu Nian originally planned to go back to the Jiang family for dinner, but when she heard them say they were going out to eat, she immediately nodded and said, "Great! It's been a long time since I've had fried chicken, fries, or cola from outside. Shall we go get that?"

Liu Zhan doesn't really care what he eats; he just needs to pay for it. He said, "I'm fine with anything; whatever you like is fine."

The other two boys didn't object either; they just wanted to get Liu Zhan a free meal, so they weren't picky about what they ate.

After deciding what they wanted to eat, the group headed out of the school to find something to eat nearby.

Yue Jiu Nian remembered that there was a McDonald's a few hundred meters away from the school, so she planned to take them there to eat fried chicken, fries and cola.

However, McDonald's was packed with customers at that time, so when they went in, they saw a long queue.

When Yue Jiu Nian saw this, she didn't want to queue anymore. She said, "Wow, how come there are so many people? There are too many people now. I don't even want to eat anymore."

Liu Zhan also said, "Tsk~ Even if we manage to queue up and buy some food, there are no seats left. Shall we find another place?"
