Chapter 5 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 5 (Revised) ...
No one knows better than Lin Wei how difficult it is to get 545 points. Mathematics alone tormented her to the point of wishing she were dead. To be able to get such a high score, she can be considered a genius.
In the classroom, she finally saw what the genius looked like: tall, with big eyes, a cheerful personality, and no different from the other students.
The only difference is that he has a slightly sunny disposition and exudes a youthful energy. He's clearly a child raised in a well-off family; even if he's not wealthy financially, he's certainly rich in spirit.
Because there were many people looking at him, Lin Wei's gaze was not particularly noticeable. Zhou Xueqing pulled her to sit down in the second row of the second group.
"Luckily we arrived early for our accommodation. If we had come any later, all the good spots would have been taken." Her voice was filled with relief.
Lin Wei nodded in agreement, "Yes." In such a short time, many more people arrived in the class, forming a dense crowd. If they had arrived a few minutes later, they would have had to sit in the last row.
However, some people, hoping to bask in the glory of the academic genius, deliberately moved to the back to sit, even taking up the seats in front of and behind them. It has to be said, they really went all out for their studies.
While the two were talking, the person in front turned around and asked them, "What are your names?" It was a girl with a slightly square face.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei replied, "My name is Lin Wei, and her name is Zhou Xueqing." She also introduced her deskmate as well.
Ji Dongling suddenly realized, "Oh, it's you two." So many people in the class scored around 500 points, but the two of them were at the bottom, and with such low scores, it was hard not to notice them.
Then I wondered how the two of them got in?
Lin Wei and Zhou Xueqing exchanged a glance and said almost simultaneously, "Unexpected."
"He got in through family connections."
Although she didn't know what "accident" meant, Ji Dongling didn't ask any further questions. There was only one possibility: he must have used connections.
After learning their scores, Ji Dongling looked away without even saying her own name.
After seeing this, Zhou Qingxue wrote in her notebook, "Isn't this too realistic? We're not that bad at studying, are we?" She was a little indignant.
Lin Wei chuckled lightly, "Then you should study hard and prove her wrong."
Zhou Xueqing: "Then forget it. I know my own IQ; I'm not cut out for studying." She only got that middle school entrance exam score by spending a lot of money on tutoring. High school will only be more difficult, especially in a class full of top students.
One must understand oneself.
And there are quite a few people like them who are discussing this, mostly asking for names and middle school entrance exam scores.
Even if Lin Wei didn't care about these things, with someone who loved gossip explaining things to her, she still managed to recognize a few of the top students in the class.
"Fang Yihuai goes without saying, he was the top scorer in this year's high school entrance exam. The person who scored five points behind him was Zhang Mo, who ranked sixth in the province this year. I heard he got a perfect score on his Chinese composition."
"The third place in our class is a girl named Gao Fuya, who once won first place in the National English Speech Contest. It feels like our class is full of hidden talents," Zhou Xueqing exclaimed.
Lin Wei glanced at the boy sitting quietly in the corner reading a book, and the girl who had already started working on the questions, and nodded.
Indeed, they're so diligent. If they don't do well, who will? They're all top students. She sighed inwardly. Even with the system, who doesn't envy those who are naturally intelligent?
A dozen minutes later, when the teacher came in, the class had quieted down. As usual, the students introduced themselves, and Lin Wei could clearly feel that the teacher was looking in her direction.
It's obvious they wanted to see who had gotten in through the water.
"Now that you're in this class, study hard." It seemed like he was addressing the whole class, but it was actually directed at them. No one wanted someone in their class who would drag them down.
Lowering the average is secondary; what's truly tragic is falling behind in the course and wasting your own time and energy.
He didn't want a semester to pass only to have several unfamiliar faces come in again.
Fang Yihuai followed Teacher Qian's gaze, glanced at them, and then met Lin Wei's gaze.
Lin Wei noticed his gaze and looked over. When she saw him, she was a little surprised, but she knew why after thinking about it. She didn't feel embarrassed at all, nodded to him as a greeting, which made Fang Yihuai pause for a moment.
What's this person's name again?
Because he hadn't been paying attention, he turned to ask the person next to him and finally got an answer.
"That's Lin Wei, the second to last in our class. The person sitting next to her is Zhou Xueqing, the last in our class."
"These two are quite something. They managed to get in with such low scores. I wonder what their background is."
"But she is quite pretty." Humans are visual creatures; who doesn't like to look at good-looking people?
After learning about their grades, Ji Dongling didn't want to talk to them. Besides focusing solely on academic performance, part of the reason was her jealousy of their good looks and good family background.
If Lin Wei knew this, she would only think that a group of people were really imagining things, insisting that she was a child from a rich family. Little did she know that she was really poor, and all she had was five hundred yuan given to her by her aunt Lin Jinhui.
No, there should only be a little over 400 left now. A lot of it was spent on food these past two days.
However, it's not accurate to say that she only has a few hundred yuan. The money given to her by her uncle and grandfather is in her bank account, and she still has about four thousand yuan left, which should be enough to get by for quite a while, if there are no other expenses.
After saying those words, Teacher Qian started the class as usual.
And so, the class passed by in an ordinary and unremarkable manner.
Lin Jinhui was worried, so she sent Lin Wei two more text messages to ask if she was adapting to the class environment. Lin Wei replied with two sentences after seeing them.
"It's great. Everyone is very friendly, and the teachers are very responsible. There's nothing to worry about."
Thinking about how she was in Class 1, she considered whether to tell her aunt about it, but after thinking it over carefully, she decided not to.
Even if they told them, what difference would it make? Given their current situation, they couldn't repay the Qin family.
It might add to my aunt's psychological burden, so let's not do it.
In this way, Lin Wei integrated into the class atmosphere.
She felt like a terrible student, at the bottom of the class, and that she had to work harder to catch up with the others, otherwise she would only fall further behind, just like the original owner of this body. So a phenomenon appeared in the class: whenever she had time, she was either reading books or doing test papers, leaving those who initially didn't take her seriously dumbfounded.
"Is it rolled up like this?" Why is it rolled up like this as soon as school starts?
Zhou Xueqing, sitting next to her, saw it even more clearly, a bitter smile appearing on her face. She thought she finally had someone to share the blame with, but it turned out she was the only one playing the clown from beginning to end?
Because she was afraid of falling behind and becoming the one who held everyone back, Zhou Xueqing read more often for a while, but she couldn't keep it up, she really couldn't.
Who studies as tirelessly and relentlessly as she does? Is she even human? She doesn't even let her break time go by.
If Lin Wei knew, she would only think it was basic stuff, nothing compared to learning in the system space. In real life, she felt there was too little time to do any practice problems, but in the system space, she felt there were too many problems and she could never finish them all.
That day, after finishing the test paper her aunt had bought, she looked at the 150 points in capital letters and a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, this score looked the best.
That sense of accomplishment is indescribably comfortable.
She couldn't imagine what it would feel like to be number one. Thinking of this, Lin Wei looked at Fang Yihuai and felt that it wasn't impossible to try to surpass him.
She has a system; if she can't even catch up to someone without a cheat system, wouldn't that make her seem too useless?
At that moment, a hint of ambition arose in Lin Wei's heart.
