Xuan Shi Primary School, Grade 3, Class 2.

The class has a fairly good reputation.

It has the innocence of a child, but not the mischievousness of a brat.

At least the teachers didn't notice, and the overall public opinion was still quite good.

At least, every day, none of the children are particularly averse to going to school.

However, today's lesson was not very friendly to the children in Class 2 of Grade 3.

The first thing to do during morning self-study was to read that very difficult English, which caused quite a few brain cells to fail.

Then came math class, language arts class...

What's even more tragic is that we have a Chinese language test today.

Yes, unlike regular math and English tests, language arts tests are irregular.

Basically, it depends on how busy the teacher is and whether they have anything else to do.

There might only be one final exam and one midterm exam per semester, or there might be exams anytime, anywhere.

And now, it's a ten-minute break before the start of the Chinese language test.

The morale of Class 2, Grade 3 is very low.

This Chinese test was a surprise test, and no one had been adequately prepared beforehand.

It's foreseeable that the average score will definitely drop this time.

Although most parents are relatively easygoing, such a significant drop will likely cause them anxiety.

If parents are anxious, it's definitely the students who will suffer.

"Is... I'm doomed... I'm doomed... If I fail this exam, they're going to take my phone away... If they take my phone away, my life is over!"

Tian Yunyun hugged Heloise's waist with a look of grief and indignation, and said with snot and tears streaming down her face.

"Relax, relax. If your phone is taken away, you won't have to touch those things. That way, your grades will definitely improve. And if your grades improve, Mom will reward you, wouldn't you feel even better?"

Heloise tried his best to comfort Tian Yunyun.

However, the comfort offered to Tian Yunyun didn't seem to address what she needed.

"Waaaaah...you don't love me anymore~"

Tian Yunyun rubbed her face against Heloise's stomach fiercely, and said with a look of grief and indignation.

"No……"

Heloise scratched his head slightly.

As a slightly stubborn person, she couldn't quite understand the language and culture of the younger generation in this society.

However, Heloise and Tu Xiaohei still share certain similarities when it comes to Tian Yunyun, who acts coquettishly towards them.

However, there are still differences between the two people.

The former is gentle yet slightly harsh.

The latter, however, is a helpless indulgence.

Fortunately, Heloise is a very self-disciplined person, and even with Tu Xiaohei's indulgence, she doesn't become too embarrassing. Otherwise, with Tu Xiaohei's endless pampering, she might really have become spoiled.

Moreover, due to the threats posed by monsters, aliens, and the Root of Destruction, Tu Xiaohei and Heloise did not have much time together.

However, Tu Xiaohei's endless pampering unexpectedly had a positive effect at this moment.

That is what made Heloise's already unyielding gears accelerate even faster at this moment.

"Alright, alright, go back to your studies. We're only in third grade after all. If you study hard, even if your test score isn't ideal, it won't be too bad."

Heloise chuckled; this time, her words of comfort were, to some extent, quite effective.

"Well... anyway, you're definitely going to be fine this time, Is. You work so hard every day, it would be strange if you didn't do well."

Tian Yunyun sighed.

He looked at Heloise with a helpless expression.

Heloise did not answer Tian Yunyun's question directly, but instead scratched his head shyly.

"Ring ring..."

The school bell rang.

After glancing around, Tian Yunyun quickly chatted with Heloise about various gossips before rushing back to her seat.

"Students, please take your seats. The test is about to begin. The results of this test will be posted in the parents' group. After we finish explaining the test, please have your parents sign it."

Heloise's Chinese teacher was a kind-looking woman.

However, what she said was not a kind word to the students in Class 2, Grade 3.

For children their age, the most terrifying thing is not having a sentence added to the end of an article that says "recite and write the whole text from memory".

Instead, it says, "The results of this test will be posted in the parents' group. After the test paper is explained, please have the parents sign it."

Such a statement would be a devastating blow to a child.

"No way!"

"Oh my god! I don't want to!"

"Teacher Guan, could you please stop posting the grades in the parents' group?"

Suddenly, the previously quiet environment erupted into a series of debates.

Although the parents of students at Xuan Shi Primary School are generally quite laid-back.

However, this Buddhist-like attitude doesn't mean they don't care about saving face.

If this were posted in the parents' group chat, it would be incredibly embarrassing...

Back then, even they would get a good beating for their rapidly declining grades.

You can only watch others experience this kind of thing; when it happens to you, you're not going to be happy.

"Alright, if anyone has any objections, come to my office after class and we'll have a good talk."

Heloise's Chinese teacher was named Guan Qian.

She is a female teacher with considerable experience.

She knew very well what children of this age feared most.

Unlike the gradually diminishing authority of teachers in junior and senior high schools, in elementary schools, the authority of teachers still holds an absolutely overwhelming advantage.

For elementary school students like these, the most terrifying thing is being called to the teacher's office alone.

Perhaps for children of this age, the office is like a gathering place for prehistoric beasts.

Of course, this excludes some particularly mischievous children and those with exceptionally good grades.

As expected, after Guan Qian said that, the previously noisy environment instantly returned to silence.

All the children seemed to have been put on pause for a moment.

They could only blink helplessly at Guan Qian, expressing their slight dissatisfaction.

"Alright, alright, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. Doing poorly on the exam isn't a bad thing. What's worrying is that you did poorly and then refused to accept reality. In this world, no matter who you are, you can only improve by accepting your shortcomings. If you try to cover up your shortcomings, you'll never improve."

Suddenly, Guan Qian spoke seriously to the students.
