Nancheng High School held its placement test that day. Gu Mingli sat in his seat yawning, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze, the black ballpoint pen spinning dizzily between his slender fingers.
When the test paper was handed to him, he glanced at it casually. In the past, he could not understand a single word during the test. So he was too lazy to read it and just filled in some multiple-choice questions casually and thought it was OK.
It would be better to sleep than to waste time writing down messy answers.
The first subject was Chinese. He just glanced over the multiple-choice questions as usual, but he was stunned when it came to reciting ancient poems.
This question...it seems like he knows how to do it?
The first sentence is an encouragement to study.
Therefore, without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles. The blank at the back needs to be filled in.
Gu Mingli immediately perked up. He really knew the answer to this question. Some time ago, Nuannuan asked him what he had learned, so he asked Lu Xingzhi about it. Then he mentioned a few texts that needed to be memorized.
His sister asked him if he could do it, and the answer was of course no. But as a brother, he needed to save face in front of his sister. So he asked Nuannuan to call him via video the next day, and he guaranteed that he would be able to do it the next day.
Then he worked hard on the text that needed to be memorized and spent several hours to memorize it. Although he was exhausted, when his soft-hearted sister praised him and said she would give him a gift, Gu Mingli felt that it was all worth it.
Later, when he encountered the same text that needed to be memorized, he still memorized it in advance to save face.
Well, since he already knows how to do it, just... write it?
After finishing the first question, he glanced at the second question and fell silent... He knew the answer again.
After finishing the dictation, Gu Mingli became interested in looking at other lessons, but he was persuaded to give up after reading and understanding large sections of the text.
Finally, turn to the composition.
The cutest person you've ever met in your life...
This is a material composition, and there are many explanations at the end. But Gu Mingli's eyes fell on the first sentence.
The cutest person I've ever met must be my sister!
It was the first time since he started school that he had the urge to write an essay, so Gu Mingli picked up his pen and started working.
Tang Le, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, finished answering the multiple-choice questions and then started to do other things out of boredom. Then he looked at Gu Mingli, and the sight of him almost frightened him to death.
Good man! Is his eyes blurry? He actually saw Gu Ge writing furiously!
Tang Le looked at Gu Mingli with horror, but he looked at him for too long. He stood out among a group of students who were quietly taking the exam, so he was caught by the teacher supervising the exam on the podium.
"Student Tang Le, where are you looking? Just write your own essay!"
Tang Le quickly lowered his head, but the shock and panic in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
His brother Gu was actually taking the exam seriously!
This is more terrifying than Mars hitting the Earth!
After the first exam was over, the teacher collected the test papers and came to Gu Mingli. At this time, Gu Mingli was already sleeping on the table as usual.
The Chinese teacher shook his head, already used to this.
But when he put away Gu Mingli's answer sheet, he took a quick look at it and was shocked, and he suspected that he was dazzled.
He flipped the answer sheet left and right, and even took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and put them back on.
Good guys! The composition side is full of words.
One thing I have to say is that although Gu Mingli is a poor student, his handwriting is still very good.
This whole wall of neat and elegant fountain pen calligraphy is really pleasing to the eye.
"Teacher, you should go collect the test papers of other students."
Tossing and turning in front of him disturbed his sleep.
The Chinese teacher said "oh", and for once she wasn't angry, she even gave Gu Mingli a big smile.
"Not bad, Gu Mingli. Keep up the hard work next time!"
After saying this, he happily took the test paper and left to collect test papers from other students.
Yes, he was so easily satisfied. In the past, Gu Mingli only filled in the multiple-choice questions on his answer sheet, and he filled them in randomly. But this time, he even wrote an essay. Although there were still many blank spaces, he also wrote several answers in the dictation part. He scanned it and found that they were all correct!
Not bad, not bad.
During the halftime break, Tang Le came over and touched Gu Mingli's forehead, but Gu Mingli kicked him away with a look of disgust.
"What are you doing?"
Tang Le's expression was serious. "I saw that you were sick or had a fever. You actually wrote down the answers to the test just now! I also saw that you wrote an essay. Not only did you write it, but you wrote so many words, so densely packed together!"
The high-pitched sound was enough to show Tang Le's shock at this incident.
“What!!”
Wu Kuanggang walked over and looked at Gu Mingli with an expression as if he was looking at a ghost.
"Brother Gu, you actually wrote an essay!"
Gu Mingli——"…" He just wrote an essay once, is there any need to be so surprised?
"Get lost!"
In the subsequent exams, Gu Mingli discovered that he actually knew quite a few things, especially English.
Gu Mingli has a good memory, he just didn't want to learn before. When he was teaching Nuannuan English, he memorized a lot of words. When listening, he found that although he didn't understand it smoothly, he roughly knew what was said and then chose the answer.
Mathematics is quite difficult and his foundation is very poor. Currently, what is taught to Nuannuan is elementary school mathematics, which is not very helpful for high school, so it remains pretty much the same.
But... after the test results came out, he was not the last or second to last, but the seventh to last. There were more than twenty students in their class, and one-third of them were poor students.
When they received the results, Tang Le and Wu Kuang looked at Gu Mingli as if he were a traitor, holding the last and second to last results.
Gu Mingli felt frightened by the stares of the two men, so he threw a book at them, and the two men finally behaved themselves.
When Yuwen went up to the podium with the answer sheet, he specifically singled out Gu Mingli for praise.
"I want to praise a student here for his remarkable improvement in this exam, from a few points to 61 points now. His composition is especially vivid. Gu Mingli hopes that you can continue to maintain this learning attitude and make more progress in the future."
Amid the applause and gazes of his classmates, Gu Mingli appeared calm and composed, but in his heart...
Who can understand the embarrassment of having toes scratch three layers of floorboards?
It's fine if you want to scold me or ignore me, but your compliment really makes me uncomfortable...
Especially Tang Le and Wu Kuang, these two idiots actually stood up and applauded. They were the loudest applause in the whole classroom.
Gu Mingli took a deep breath and wanted to press their heads against the table!
Then the composition he wrote was circulated by the teacher to the whole class.
Of course they would read carefully the composition suddenly written by this poor student and school bully, which was praised by the Chinese teacher, and each of them looked particularly excited.
Then all the classmates knew that Gu Mingli had a very cute, obedient and gentle sister.
Gu Mingli——"…" I feel really sorry…
