Not telling her in advance
Shi Nannan was thinking that unless she was pulled up to be an example to inspire students, or the dean of studies wanted to reform her, it would be even more embarrassing to be laughed at in public for her poor grades.
"Nannan, Nannan...what are you thinking about? Come on up quickly, your name is being called."
Shi Nannan's fantasy was suddenly awakened by Chen Xing. She shook her head and only heard Chen Xing calling her to go on stage to receive the award. Her eyes only saw Zhou Xiang and Xia Meimei staring at her with jealous eyes.
Shen Xuyang asked, "What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting for the teacher to come and invite you?"
Shi Nannan looked back at Shen Xuyang. What he said was still so bold, but when did he ever call him teacher so politely?
Shi Nannan didn't have time to think about it. She was pushed from the class line to the podium and stood under the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind. This was the first time in her many years as a student that she had appeared gloriously in front of teachers and students.
Shi Nannan followed the students in front of her onto the stage in a dull manner. She didn't hear her name being called, and didn't know where to stand, so she just followed them onto the stage.
Shi Nannan didn't understand anything, didn't understand the situation, and didn't even know why she was pushed onto the stage.
When Shi Nannan saw Wen Yu, she wanted to say hello to him. Wen Yu was one of the top three students in the grade who received awards in the last wave. He was always the first place and was holding a certificate and prize in his hand.
When Wen Yu saw Shi Nannan, he freed up one hand and pointed her in the direction and where to stand, but Shi Nannan didn't notice at all and just stretched out her hand to say hello.
Shi Nannan didn't know that there were fixed seats for the award ceremony, so she thought she could just stand anywhere. She only knew Wen Yu, so she wanted to be closer to him.
As soon as she stood up, the teacher pulled her back to the correct position.
"Classmate, you are the one who received the Progress Award. You should stand in this row."
Shi Nannan smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Oh, thank you, teacher."
It was not until the award ceremony was over and she saw the contents of the certificate in her hand that Shi Nannan knew why she had won the award.
At the end of last semester, she improved by more than 50 points, and her grade ranking suddenly moved from the bottom to the middle and lower levels.
The school offers progress awards every semester to encourage some students to continue working hard.
Shi Nannan's midterm score, which she used to compare with her final score, was the lowest in history, so she made the biggest improvement this time.
By chance, I won an award for progress, was brought to the commendation meeting for praise, and was awarded a certificate with the school seal.
After the commendation meeting, Shi Nannan walked off the stage with her certificate, her face full of pride and confidence. When she met Zhou Xiang and Xia Meimei, she deliberately raised her head to show off in front of them.
Chen Xing and Shen Xuyang walked through the crowd dispersing from the playground and saw Wen Yu and a proud-looking Shi Nannan waiting for them under the podium to return to the teaching building together.
Shi Nannan saw Shen Xuyang and leaned over to him and said with a smile: "Shen Xuyang! How did you know that I was involved in the commendation meeting? It's amazing."
Shi Nannan gave Shen Xuyang a thumbs up and praised him for being awesome.
Shen Xuyang looked at Shi Nannan's cheerful expression and smiled, saying, "I saw it by accident."
When Shen Xuyang went to see the head teacher Wang Fuquan, he saw the certificates on his desk. The first one on the list was Shi Nannan's, and he happened to have noted it down.
Shi Nannan was jumping around with the certificate in her hand, and she could hardly suppress the smile on her face.
"I never thought I would get a certificate of honor in my lifetime. From childhood to adulthood, I haven't even been awarded the title of "Three Good Students" without any effort."
"Even though it's just an award for progress, it has the school's stamp. When I bring it home, my parents will definitely treat it like a precious gift."
Shi Nannan was jumping and dancing in front, while Chen Xing, Wen Yu and Shen Xuyang followed behind her, laughing and happy for her.
Chen Xing said, "Alright, walk carefully, and don't get carried away and fall again."
Shi Nannan smiled and said, "Xingxing, you're right. You should be modest and not show off too much in front of outsiders. When I get back to class, I'm going to show off in front of Xia Meimei and Zhou Xiang. I'm going to piss them off to death!"
Shen Xuyang's eyes were always on Shi Nannan. He didn't say a word, he just wanted to look at her a few more times, as if they would soon not be able to see each other every day.
The four of them walked to the teaching building together. When they were about to separate, Wen Yu turned the corner first. Not only did he not say goodbye, but he also had an ambiguous smile on his face, which made the three of them very puzzled.
Shi Nannan said, "Wen Yu never smiled even when he won first place. Why is he so happy this time?"
Chen Xing also noticed that Wen Yu was used to receiving certificates of honor and there was nothing strange about it. He also never thought that getting first place was a very happy thing. So what was he laughing at just now?
Chen Xing looked at the direction where Wen Yu disappeared and waved his hand, "I don't know either."
Shen Xuyang looked uninterested and said, "Okay, let's go back to class first."
Shen Xuyang looked at Wen Yu's smiling face, but he couldn't smile at all, as if this was his final farewell to them. He always had to say goodbye with a smile and leave his best self to them.
Shen Xuyang went upstairs first without waiting for Shi Nannan and Chen Xing. Shi Nannan looked at Shen Xuyang's back and said to Chen Xing, "Xingxing, do you think Shen Xuyang seems to have changed?"
Chen Xing didn't pay much attention to Shen Xuyang's expression. She said, "No, are you thinking too much?"
It was normal that Chen Xing couldn't feel it, but Shi Nannan could tell at a glance that Shen Xuyang was different from his previous indifferent look. It seemed that he had a lot on his mind and his whole demeanor had become much heavier.
Shi Nannan and Chen Xing returned to the classroom and just sat down in their seats.
Shi Nannan saw an unopened and bulging schoolbag on Shen Xuyang's desk.
Shi Nannan asked, "Chen Xuyang, how many bricks are in your schoolbag? It's still so high even when it's lying flat."
In the past, Shen Xuyang would never bring his schoolbag on the first day of school, he wouldn't do his winter vacation homework, and the teachers never paid attention to him. After all, he wouldn't listen to anyone.
Just as Shen Xuyang was about to say something, the bell rang. This first class was always a self-study class for the head teacher, so that everyone could concentrate.
As the head teacher Dong Liang came in, the noisy classroom gradually quieted down.
Dong Liang stood on the podium and said, "Today is the first day of school. I won't say much about studying. I'm sure you'll find me annoying. This final semester depends entirely on your own self-discipline."
"Okay, enough nonsense, I have two things to announce, which is actually one thing."
When Shi Nannan heard this, she immediately had a bad feeling. Coincidentally, Dong Liang's gaze was looking towards them.
Dong Liang waved towards the window behind them, Shen Xuyang nodded, and stood up in front of everyone.
Shi Nannan turned around when she heard the voice, but Shen Xuyang didn't give any explanation and didn't even look at her.
He took his heavy schoolbag and walked up to the podium, standing on the side near the classroom door.
Shen Xuyang stood there, his body straight. In the past, he was very impolite to bend his body and lower his head, doing whatever was comfortable for him, and he didn't take anyone seriously at all.
This time he seemed like a different person, or maybe this was his original appearance.
Dong Liang glanced at Shen Xuyang and was a little surprised, even a little reluctant.
Dong Liang continued, "This matter is about our classmate Shen Xuyang. He will be transferred to Class 3 of Senior 3 starting today, and will no longer be able to attend classes with us."
When Shi Nannan heard this, she was shocked. Without thinking, she stood up and shouted, "What? I don't believe it."
Shi Nannan's action attracted the attention of the whole class. Zhou Xiang and Xia Meimei had known about this for a long time, and they were fanning the flames and laughing at Shi Nannan.
Chen Xing couldn't pull Shi Nannan away, so Dong Liang said, "Shi Nannan, why are you so startled? I know you have the best relationship with him, but this is his own choice. Sit down immediately!"
Shi Nannan looked at Shen Xuyang and said, "Tell me, is this really your decision?"
Shen Xuyang didn't say anything, but his cold eyes and firm attitude had already told Shi Nannan the answer.
Shi Nannan suddenly laughed, as if she was mocking herself. She didn't say anything else, just sat down and looked in any direction where Shen Xuyang was not.
Shi Nannan felt indescribable in her heart. Ever since Xia Meimei and Zhou Xiang started to sow discord, she didn't believe that Shen Xuyang would hide something from her, but now she just felt like a joke.
Everyone in the world knew that they had the best relationship, but when it came to such a big thing as changing classes, she was the last one to be notified.
It would have been fine if he didn't discuss it with her, but he didn't tell her in advance, making her look bad in front of the two people she hated the most. Shi Nannan would never forgive Shen Xuyang for this matter, which was more serious than anything he had done to make her angry in the past.
Without the incident involving Shi Nannan, Dong Liang continued, "Although Chen Xuyang will no longer be a member of Class 6, Grade 3, we have been classmates for two and a half years. We will still be classmates if we meet again..."
Maybe Dong Liang said too much, or maybe Shen Xuyang was flustered, Shen Xuyang suddenly interrupted and said, "Teacher, that's enough."
Dong Liang was shocked to hear Shen Xuyang speaking to him so politely. He was not used to it and was afraid that Shen Xuyang would change his face again in the next second.
Dong Liang added two simple sentences at the end.
Shen Xuyang kept looking at Shi Nannan. He knew that he had made her sad and disappointed, but he had no choice. For Wen Yu and his brother, he had to make a change.
Suddenly, someone called out at the classroom door, "Teacher, I'm here to report."
Dong Liang saw the person standing at the door and immediately greeted him with a smile, "It's Wen Yu, come in!"
When Shen Xuyang saw Wen Yu appear outside the door, he was shocked and didn't know how to react.
Wen Yu walked into the classroom and was pulled by Dong Liang to stand on the podium near the window.
Dong Liang was in the middle of the podium, and the positions of Wen Yu and Shen Xuyang explained everything: one was leaving and the other was coming.
As soon as Wen Yu appeared, the female classmates in the classroom started to make a commotion, which made Shi Nannan even more upset. She really wanted to scream, but she held back and covered her ears.
