Teacher Hu entered the classroom with a stern face, stood on the podium, read out names and handed out test papers, starting with those who failed, and mocked them.
Then, the top ten are read out from highest to lowest, and the rest are handed out directly.
Dong Yangyang winked and gave Ruan Bei a thumbs up. Although he wasn't in the top ten, he at least passed. Ruan Bei used to be the one who was often criticized.
Everyone had received their test papers. Ruan Bei looked at her empty desk and raised her hand: "Teacher, I don't have a test paper."
Teacher Hu twitched the corners of her mouth, took out the test paper tucked in her lesson plan, and said with a forced smile, "Ruan Bei... 117, the highest score in our class. Come up here and share with the teacher and classmates how you went from failing to getting the highest score in the class!"
As she finished speaking, her voice grew louder and louder, almost shouting.
She didn't believe for a second that Ruan Bei had taken the test on his own. She remembered very well how clueless Ruan Bei used to be, and even if he had, learning English was a process that required accumulation.
The classroom was completely silent. All the students were looking at Ruan Bei, who slowly stood up.
Lin Dengke stepped aside, and Ruan Bei calmly walked to the front of the classroom, snatching his test paper from the hands of Teacher Hu, whose face was full of anger and disdain.
Because he didn't complete the listening comprehension section, he didn't get a perfect score of 120. He lost 3 points on the essay because two colloquial words were circled and deducted from his score.
"About my English learning experience..."
Ruan Bei had just started speaking when Teacher Hu interrupted him with a cold laugh: "You really have the nerve to say that? Tell me, even if you're going to cheat, you should at least take it easy. Getting first place in the class by cheating, do you think the teachers and classmates are all idiots?"
“I think you’re not very smart to say something like that, teacher,” Ruan Bei said with a smile.
"What did you say?"
Teacher Hu looked on incredulously: "You...you insulted me?"
Ruan Bei shrugged innocently and said, "You said it yourself, teacher, so why blame me? You also said that I'm the top student in the class, so please tell me, whose work did I copy?"
Ms. Hu's face turned pale and then red. Or rather, she knew that Ruan Bei would never copy from his classmates. As for copying from a book, don't be ridiculous. Even an open-book exam wouldn't save a student who was bad at English.
If we're talking about leaked exam questions, she created the exam herself. Unless Ruan Bei stole the exam and memorized the answers, there's really no way to copy them.
But Ruan Bei had just returned to school after taking her exams yesterday, so she hadn't been there at all, let alone been near her office.
Logically, she knew that Ruan Bei had taken the exam himself, but she just couldn't believe it. She had taught so many classes of students, seen top students and geniuses, and even seen students suddenly have a breakthrough in the last few months of their senior year. But someone like Ruan Bei, who suddenly had a breakthrough and went from failing to first place, was truly rare and illogical.
Unless... unless he deliberately did poorly on his previous English tests!
Teacher Hu's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt that his idea was correct. It's hard to do well on a test, but it's not hard to do poorly on a test, is it?
Ruan Bei used to have good grades in all other subjects except English, so it was definitely intentional!
Thinking about it this way, Ruan Bei was really a wicked student. She said angrily, "I knew it! You really did have a problem with me. You could have done well on the exam, but you got such a terrible score. You were deliberately trying to insult me, weren't you? Let me tell you, Ruan Bei, I can't teach a student like you. Get out of here!"
Ruan Bei: "...?"
"Teacher, do you think I have a problem with you, or you have a problem with me?"
Ruan Bei was so angry she almost laughed, completely impressed by her self-perception.
His English grades from childhood to adulthood have always been consistently terrible.
"As a teacher, when a student gets good grades, you first suspect that he or she cheated. After it was proven that your idea was wrong, instead of explaining or apologizing for your inappropriate words and actions, you slandered me again."
He looked coldly at the so-called teacher who had humiliated and attacked him countless times, his voice icy: "You don't want to teach me, fine, I also think you are not fit to be a teacher. A teacher's duty is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts. Imparting knowledge is the most important thing. What you should teach first is how students conduct themselves in society."
"And you..."
Ruan Bei drawled, "Your words and actions make you seem like a villain."
The whole class burst into laughter, especially some of the students who were often scolded by her as "pig-brained," "wasting educational resources," and "should go do manual labor instead of wasting time," who clapped and slapped their desks with gusto.
Teacher Hu's face flushed red, her finger trembling as she pointed at Ruan Bei, then at the students below: "You...you all..."
Ruan Bei smiled slightly at her, turned around and walked back to his seat, completely ignoring her words about him getting out.
Teacher Hu burst into tears and rushed out of the classroom, covering her face.
