Chapter 59 It’s better to rely on me than on him Zhu Hongfei laughed, “There is no anti-black…
Zhu Hongfei was amused. "Is there any anti-black movement?"
"You have to curse back," Lin Xicai said shamelessly, no longer bothering to pretend. "Xie Shi is certainly hateful, but that guy is even less worthy of being a human being."
Lin Xicai had just finished scolding when Xie Shi came over with two big dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing him coming, the three of them shut their mouths tacitly.
The person Lin Xicai described as "unworthy of being a human" acted like a big shot, feigning innocence with dark circles under his eyes. "What post?"
As he said this, he pretended to take out his cell phone to look at it.
As soon as I took out my phone, someone grabbed my hand.
Looking over, he saw his deskmate's sullen, somewhat disappointed face: "If you're not busy with the post, try doing a few more questions. Your biggest flaw is your grades!"
Xie Shi: “…”
Xiang Ling, who seemed to sense that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, kindly came over to help, bringing over a poster featuring four or five stylish men with painted eyebrows and eyes. She started to make small talk: "Fei Fei, who do you think is the most handsome in our group?"
Lin Xicai's attention was drawn to them. She moved closer to examine the fashionable men. After a moment's observation, she shook her head with some regret. "They're all pretty good, but not my type."
"Such a top group, but there's no one like you in it?" Xiang Ling was a little indignant. "Then what kind of person do you like? Tell me your criteria for choosing a partner."
The gazes from the side of her were growing increasingly intense. Lin Xicai ignored them, and somewhat artificially displayed the look of a little girl's yearning, as if she was seriously considering this question: "My criteria for choosing a partner are: handsome face, tall stature, fair skin, and preferably a stable personality, not too noisy or boisterous, hardworking, obedient, and capable of execution..."
"Oh," Xiang Ling glanced at her and understood, "Then shouldn't I sit next to you?"
Lin Xicai was stunned for a moment, and the gaze on her side became stronger and more intense. A hint of bluffing annoyance condensed between her brows, and she said coldly, "I'm Mu Qiang, but his grades are too poor."
Xie Shi: “…”
Being buried twice in the same pit, Xie Shi stared at the people around him and laughed instead of getting angry.
Lin Xicai and Xie Shi didn't go to the physical education class in the afternoon.
Lin Xicai was doing homework and memorizing words, while Xie Shi was sitting next to her doing nothing, flipping through a tattered horror novel.
The two people were quietly doing their own things in the classroom. Less than half a class period later, the one who was supposed to be having fun on the playground suddenly came back early. Walking in front was a group of boys, all of them with red faces and cursing, and some even had bruises on their faces.
A group of people came in cursing, looked at Xie Shi, and finally became cautious and subconsciously lowered their voices.
Lin Xicai looked over and was shocked by the injury on Zhu Hongfei's face: "What happened to his face?"
He looked back and saw Lu Zixin and the male sports committee member. His eyes widened. "And you guys, what's wrong? Isn't the get out of class over yet?"
"Don't mention it," Lu Zixin said bitterly, "I had a fight with those idiots in Class A."
"Why?" Lin Xicai asked.
"They are unreasonable and always looking for trouble!"
Class A and Class Z have one physical education class together every week, which is this afternoon.
Since the two classes have always been at odds and there were always frictions when they played basketball together, the physical education teacher allocated the small basketball court to each class at a time, one class for you and one class for him.
At first, both classes had no objections, but Class A was a class for top students after all. Physical education classes were often occupied by teachers of other subjects. Class A felt that their interests were being harmed and began to raise objections to this plan.
For example, today's incident was actually Class Z's turn, but Class A came and occupied the basketball court, saying that they had not attended the last physical education class, so the basketball court was at the expense of Class Z when they were absent, and they should make it up to them in this class.
Class Z disagreed and asked them to move out, saying it made no sense and that whoever owned it owned it. Class A asked, "Didn't you use the basketball court last class? Since you used it, you should give it back to us this class." Class Z also got angry, saying, "You didn't come to class last time, so why is the basketball court just sitting there? Did we stop you from having physical education?"
The two sides argued over this issue, and the situation escalated from a small-scale quarrel to a large-scale friction.
The physical education teacher couldn't control the situation, so he called the grade director to mediate. After hearing the reason, the grade director scolded both parties, and then, without a doubt, awarded the basketball court to Class A.
Class Z complained that it was unfair and that the director was biased towards them because of their good grades.
Class A said, if you have the ability, you should do better in the exam. The best student in your class can't even make it into the top 50 in the whole school.
The male gym teacher of Class A even stood up to them and threatened, "If anyone in your class can get into the top 50 in the final exam, I will publicly admit my mistake and this basketball court will be yours from now on. All physical education classes next semester will be yours!"
Young people can't stand being provoked. Class Z couldn't stand being treated so sarcastically, so they impulsively accepted the challenge and said, "It's just the top 50, right? See you at the end of the semester!"
After hearing the whole story, Lin Xicai fell silent.
Not only was she silent, the whole class was silent.
It feels good to say harsh words, but now that I’m sober, I start to feel guilty.
Lin Xicai: "So, which hero are you pinning your hopes on?"
Everyone's eyes fell on her for a moment, as if they were considering how much practical value this former top student of the grade had. After thinking about it, they seemed to feel that she had little reference value, so they moved their eyes away from her and finally fell on a boy outside the crowd who was memorizing words in a small notebook.
The boy looked up in surprise and pushed his glasses up: "I...I've never made it into the top 50."
"Just because you didn't get in before doesn't mean you can't get in this time!" The male sports teacher walked over and put his arm around the top student's shoulders. "What was your ranking on your best exam?"
“87.”
"Is 87 far from 50?" the male sports committee member said with tears in his eyes, "You are the hope of the whole village."
The top student desperately denied it, but no one listened.
From that day on, the whole class placed their hopes on the top student.
The people in the class are not the kind of people who only put pressure on students without giving them motivation. Everyone of them is actually contributing to the great goal of helping the top students reach the top 50 in the school.
As the hope of the entire village, the top student had water fetched for him and food bought for him. He didn't even have to do duty. When it was his turn to do duty, the eraser was snatched away as soon as he touched it. He shouted, "Who are you? How can you do such rough work? You continue to study, I'll do it, I'll do it."
The top student was so moved that he had no way to repay the kindness and could only study hard.
In the past, Lin Xicai was the last one to leave after school every day. But now, when Lin Xicai leaves, the top students are still studying.
Lin Xicai looked at the top student's back, as if she saw the mountain on his back.
Lin Xicai felt pity for the student and placed the washed plums in her pocket on the top student's desk. The top student looked up from the sea of questions. Lin Xicai smiled at him sympathetically and said, "Thank you for your hard work..."
The top student looked at the fruit she gave him and was about to pack up, but decided on the spot to study for another half an hour.
Lin Xicai and the top student were exchanging glances in the front. Xie Shi was waiting at the back door with his bag, looking at the two of them. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and put his fingers on the door panel, knocking hard twice.
After Lin Xicai sent Guan Xin away, they walked out. The two of them went downstairs one after the other. She heard Xie Shiyouyou say behind her, "It's better to rely on me than on him."
Lin Xicai turned her head and looked at him: "Now is not the time to be humorous."
Xie Shi: “…”
Xie Shi hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.
For the final exam, Xie Shi was directly assigned to the last examination room because he had missed the last exam.
Lin Xicai seemed to take the exam very seriously. She had been feeling nervous for a few days, and she was even more tense on the day of the exam. After taking several subjects, she felt like she had been drained of all her energy.
The exam is over and I feel relieved.
Xie Shi walked her home as usual. Lin Xicai seemed to be in a good mood, and her tone was much lighter. "Finally, the exam is over. How did you do?"
"It's okay," Xie Shi said. "It's a very boring question."
Lin Xicai was not surprised at all by Xie Shi's answer.
I feel sleepy as soon as I see the questions. There are only a few questions I can solve on the whole test paper. It’s so boring.
Lin Xicai expressed her understanding, as she had also been a poor student and she knew that feeling very well.
Lin Xicai looked at Xie Shi, who seemed a little down, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, saying earnestly: "You are too dissolute in your studies. Put away your horror novels and study with me next semester. I will help you improve."
Xie Shi looked at her hand on his shoulder, but didn't dodge it. He said obediently, "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome!" Lin Xicai jumped on the back seat. "Just ride well, and I'll consider it as your tuition payment for next semester."
"Okay, sis."
......
Students have two days off after their exams, but teachers have to work as usual during these two days. It is a last busy period before the winter vacation, when they mark the papers, sort out the scores, and make ranking lists in school.
In the mathematics office, the head of the mathematics group distributed the papers from each examination room.
There was a young girl who had just graduated from university working as an intern teacher in the office. Considering that it was her first time participating in such a large-scale grading of papers, the head of the mathematics group directly gave her the papers from the last two examination rooms.
In these two examination rooms, except for a few who wrote randomly, most of the papers were blank, so the workload was relatively small.
The test papers that needed to be graded were distributed, and the only sound in the office was the rustling of flipping and grading papers. The head of the mathematics group was grading the papers in the first examination room, and other teachers could be heard sighing.
"My exam scores are generally not high, the average is 110 or 120. I'm in a relatively advanced exam room, but this score is not good."
"My exam room is further back, and there aren't many people with scores above 110."
The other teachers sighed and couldn't help but ask about the situation in the first exam room. "Teacher Cui, how are the scores in the first exam room? Are the scores in the first exam room high? Is there anyone who scored over 140?"
Without stopping, the math team leader replied, "The highest score so far is 139."
"That's not low, and he's from the first exam room. The questions are really difficult this time. Which class is this student with a score of 139 from?"
"It must be Class A."
The math team leader smiled and said, "You guessed right."
"Oh, do I even need to guess? They must be the soldiers led by Teacher Cui."
The math group leader was complimented and felt warm in his heart, with an even bigger smile on his face.
Everyone was having a great time when the intern teacher in the corner suddenly said weakly, "...Teacher."
The math team leader looked over and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Zhang?"
The girl pushed her glasses up and glanced at the paper again, a little uncertain. "I think I got a perfect score here..."
The office suddenly fell silent.
If they remembered correctly, her number was... the last examination room, right?
