"There has to be a standard for progress." Ye Huaitang said with a smile, "Progressing by one place doesn't count."
"One hundred." Lin Su said, "How about this number?"
"Okay, do you want to check the answers now?" Ye Huaitang said with a smile.
It would be funny to see this guy making the same mistake over and over again.
Lin Su decisively refused: "Squad leader, you seem to be bullying me."
A person who used to be the last or second to last in the class is probably asking for trouble if he compares answers with the top student in the grade.
Ye Huaitang smiled and said, "How could that be? I'm helping you know the result in advance."
"Spoilers don't bring happiness." Lin Su said with his hands in his pockets, "Protecting poor students is everyone's responsibility."
There will still be a weekend after the midterm exam, one way for students to relax, and the other way is to give teachers time to mark exams.
What Lin Su was referring to was naturally the weekend after next, but Ye Huaitang was just guessing what his definition of being together was.
Ye Huaitang is still busy this weekend. It is impossible for him not to be nervous before the results come out. He used to be confident in himself, but this time Ning Qiu's transfer actually put a lot of pressure on him. If he loses the first place... No.
The midterm results are posted, and from the first to the last place, the names and scores are clearly posted on the bulletin board.
When Ye Huaitang got off the car and stepped into the school gate, he always felt that the people around him looked at him with some pity, and his heart sank a little. When he walked to the bulletin board and looked up, he saw that his name was not in the first position.
His name is Ning Qiu, and his score is a high score of 738, while his ranking is one place lower, at 735 points.
The difference of three points is a world of difference from the first place. No one will remember the existence of the second place. The one that people can remember is the first place.
A group of students were also checking their results next to the bulletin board. Someone said, "It was only three points off. The class monitor can still take first place next time."
"That's what I'm saying, squad leader, don't be sad. First and second are actually not that different."
"Thank you, I just haven't learned enough." Ye Huaitang smiled, turned around and left.
Where did the three points come from? Was it Chinese? He could ensure that his paper and handwriting were neat enough, and his understanding of the questions was no less than anyone else's.
It could be English, or a step in physics is not written correctly, or a chemistry equation is not written correctly.
"It seems that there is a reason why Anyang No. 1 Middle School is more famous than our A City No. 1 Middle School. He got the first place in the grade in the first month after arriving." A classmate said behind him. Although the words were soft enough, they still reached Ye Huaitang's ears.
"It's just three points short. I think they tried their best," said another classmate.
"I'm saying that the overall level of our teaching staff isn't as good as theirs," the student retorted. "It's not like it's our fault that we're number one in the grade."
The voice gradually faded away. Ye Huaitang pursed his lips, but almost couldn't laugh.
Although he was not the one being criticized, it was obvious that the responsibility lay with him, but he still didn't know where the mistake lay.
The report cards have been distributed in the classroom. Ji Heng is firmly ranked last in the class and the entire grade, providing reliable support for the students in Class 1. He himself does not care, but the sight of the first and last in the grade sitting together still makes many students feel complicated.
"Ning Qiu, you're amazing! How did you get 738?" a boy asked. "You got a perfect score on math, and you even solved the last problem? How did you do it?"
"I've seen this type of question before, and I just happened to practice it. It was just luck." Ning Qiu said modestly, "If you want to see it, I can show it to you."
"Thank you, thank you." said the classmate.
The number of people talking to Ning Qiu has obviously increased. One reason is that he is really capable, and the other is that he has a good temper. After spending a month together, everyone has more or less gotten used to his presence.
"You're welcome." Ning Qiu narrowed his eyes.
Ji Heng sat on Lin Su's desk, glanced at the lively scene at Ning Qiu's place, then looked at Lin Su's report card and said, "Brother, you really didn't cheat?"
"We are both in the last examination room. You sit next to me. Whose paper should I copy from?" Lin Su said, leaning back in his chair.
Although he didn't look smug, Ji Heng inexplicably felt that his attitude was quite unpleasant. "It seems that being tutored by the top student in the grade is quite effective. However, you moved up 200th place, but you dragged the top student down to second place. Don't you feel ashamed?"
The smile on Lin Su's face paused for a moment: "735 points, if I can drag you down to this score, it would really be worth it even if I don't make any progress."
This score is only 15 points away from the full score. The questions in the college entrance examination will be more difficult than those in school, and will generally reduce the usual scores by another 30 points, but no matter what, this score is excellent enough.
In the original world line, Ye Huaitang's score this time was 730. The eight-point difference was a bigger blow to him. In fact, if possible, Lin Su could help him predict the questions implicitly and let him surpass Ning Qiu in score, but the first failure must happen.
No one can be successful all the time. Even if you move to a better environment, you must have the ability to accept the gap. Otherwise, how can you adapt to this era of talented people? It is not shameful to admit your failure. What is shameful is to be suppressed by yourself and have no power to fight back, and to give up on yourself.
"Okay, be proud of yourself. I will definitely surpass you next time." Ji Heng said this, but secretly thought in his heart that this elementary school bully was really not a human being.
He was so dazzled by the math problems that he couldn't even recognize each other when they looked at each other, and yet he managed to get full marks! Full marks! Damn, I can't compare.
When Ye Huaitang entered the classroom, he saw a very lively scene. Everyone was discussing their grades. Some had disappointed looks on their faces, while others had smiles on their faces.
And the moment he stepped into the classroom, the atmosphere in the whole classroom seemed to be quiet for a moment. Some people looked over and then turned away, while others greeted him.
"The squad leader is here."
"Captain, one defeat is okay. It's only three points short. It's not a big deal."
"That's right, it's not much different." A classmate consoled him.
Ning Qiu looked over, feeling a little embarrassed. In fact, it was quite embarrassing for him to have just transferred here and snatched the first place. But if he deliberately gave in, this person would probably think that he looked down on him.
Ye Huaitang smiled and said, "You don't have to comfort me. I will try harder next time."
He was calm and didn't seem to care too much about the result, and the other students also breathed a sigh of relief.
"The squad leader is still generous."
"If the class monitor hadn't spent so much time tutoring Lin Su, he might still be the first."
