Chapter 41



Zhou Xiu subconsciously glanced at the answer written by Xie Cheng. Except for a slight difference in one place, it was almost exactly the same as hers.

She put the draft paper away and put it in her pocket, revealing her fangs and smiling knowingly.

The top student of the Rockets took the answers from "Zhou Xiu's copied version" and checked them question by question with suspicion.

The result of checking the answers was a critical hit. That kind of overwhelmed expression is exactly the same as that of the poor student in Class 24.

No, please tell me. This isn’t the standard answer, is it?

Xu Haobo took the answers left by Xie Cheng and found that he had got one of the multiple-choice questions wrong. His brows furrowed slightly.

After Qi Yaguang checked the math answers, she asked Zhou Xiu, "Zhou Xiu, you made a lot of mistakes, right?"

Zhou Xiu bared his fangs and said honestly to Qi Yaguang's anxious face, "No, I wrote it right."

Other top students said: "How is that possible? This question is clearly -"

"Okay, you guys take your time to discuss this. I'm leaving now."

Zhou Xiu nodded, too lazy to argue with them. She looked at her watch, put on her schoolbag and took the bus home.

The top student in the Rocket Class looked at Zhou Xiu's leaving back: "..."

"Zhou Xiu is too arrogant, does she look down on others?"

Li Simiao took a long time to say, "Xie Cheng was like this just now."

If Xie Cheng can do it, why can't Zhou Xiu do it? And Qi Yaguang just read out Zhou Xiu's score, which was very rude.

It’s good enough that they didn’t turn hostile on the spot.

Zhou Xiu sat on the subway on her way home, thinking about the possibility of getting a scholarship. The probability of getting a scholarship this time was too slim.

She looked at her English grades on the subway and was mesmerized for the first time.

January 15th.

The scores of various subjects have been sent to the class teachers one after another. The document contains many parts, namely: the rankings of Chinese, mathematics, and English in liberal arts and science, the rankings of each science subject, the total score ranking of science grade, and the last one is the class ranking.

Apart from the English subject ranking, Miss Li seldom opens the first few tables.

She usually only looked at the grade ranking within the class. She opened the document carelessly and subconsciously looked from the last place forward.

Start with the worst result first, and you will feel happier as you go along.

She frowned and wondered what happened to Tan Ming this time. His grades were usually quite stable, but this time he dropped to over 30th place.

Until she saw the last two Miss Li was stunned.

She pulled the score bar all the way to the end.

At the front of the line is Xu Qing, who is third in the grade.

Zhou Xiu, tenth in grade. Mathematics 150, Chemistry 100, Biology 90, all three full marks. What shocked Miss Li was that Zhou Xiu was good at physics and Chinese, but she was lacking a lot in English.

With a score of 84 in English, Zhou Xiu was the only one among the top 200 students in the grade. Zhou Xiu's English score is at the bottom even in Class 24.

Miss Li felt a little hot on her face. As the class teacher, she didn't even let the top student in the class learn English well.

Miss Li tallied up the scores on the table and discovered another fact that shocked her.

The average score of their class was 38 points higher than that of the students taking the monthly exam.

Miss Li took a breath and suddenly realized that she could finally get the performance bonus for the final exam?

In the afternoon, when students returned to school to receive their grades, the math results finally came out.

Huaxu walked to the stairs and happened to meet Zhou Xiu and other classmates. She checked her phone and was surprised to find that the grade management system had been updated.

She scored 92 points and passed. Huaxu happily turned off his phone and asked about the results.

Zhou Xiu was urged to log into the system to check the scores of her last two subjects, and sure enough, she got full marks in both subjects. She scrolled to the bottom of the page and saw the grade ranking, tenth.

Zhou Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Even a small piece of meat is still meat.

Although I am not in the top five in the grade as expected, there are still bonuses for the top ten. With the full marks in the three subjects, she will receive three single-subject scholarships.

The final exam questions were quite difficult, especially in math and science. After taking the exam, Zhou Xiu had never thought about getting a single subject scholarship, but now she has it.

It is true that one may try hard to plant flowers but they may not bloom, but one may plant willows by accident and they may grow into a shade.

Zhou Xiu handed the results to Huaxu, who covered his mouth and widened his eyes in surprise.

When walking up the stairs, Huaxu and others happened to meet the students from the Rocket Class walking up the stairs. The two groups looked up at the same time, and recalled the agreement about the monthly exam in tacit understanding.

Qi Yaguang broke the silence and asked, "Have your results been released?"

She said slowly, "I ranked fifth in the grade this time. Lingshan should be fourth. Xie Cheng, Xu Haobo, and Li Simiao will not be far behind in the top three."

A boy in the Rocket Class who likes Lu Lingshan very much said: "This exam is a bit difficult. The top five or ten in the grade will probably still be from our class and the Winners class. What a pity..."

The implication was very clear, he was just waiting for Xu Qing and Zhou Xiu to give in.

When Xu Qing heard the results were announced, he refreshed his phone and said casually, "Congratulations."

"I'll meet you at the commendation meeting later."

After receiving their results, students will attend a grade commendation meeting, where school leaders will present certificates and scholarships to students with outstanding test scores.

Huaxu put her hand on Zhou Xiu's shoulder. She looked at Qi Yaguang and smiled, "Don't be so sure. Be careful not to end up like last time."

"You don't have to worry about Xiuxiu so much. I tell you that she did very well in the exam this time. Go back and tell Lu Lingshan to control her crazy fans and stop always dragging Xiuxiu down. Be willing to accept defeat."

Qi Yaguang: “…”

The students in the Rocket Class returned to the classroom and exchanged their grades in twos and threes. Xie Cheng was still in first place, and Xu Haobo was right behind in second place. But the third and fourth place were not in the Rocket Class, and the fifth place was Qi Yaguang.

Qi Yaguang was shocked and asked about the rankings of Li Simiao and Lu Lingshan.

Li Simiao shook his phone, "11th place, failed the math test."

The top students turned to look at Lu Lingshan. After all, when the math results were not released yet, she was firmly ranked fifth according to the score ranking.

Lu Lingshan held her stomach weakly and said, "I had a stomachache on the day of my math test and didn't finish the test paper."

Having said that, there is no need to ask any more questions. Lu Lingshan's face is so pale that it is almost faded, which makes people feel pity and love for her.

Qi Yaguang touched his chin and said, "So the remaining seven of the top ten might be from Winner Class?"

No one answered. In silence, they gradually thought of a dramatic scene: Could it be that Xu Qing and Zhou Xiu both made it into the top ten?

Soon the students in the Rocket Class knew the answer.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

All the students went to the indoor gymnasium to hold a grade commendation meeting.

The head teacher read out the names of the top ten students in the final exam, and the principal stood by, ready to personally present certificates to the top students.

The two words "Zhou Xiu" came clearly from the microphone. Qi Yaguang's face suddenly froze and he raised his head in shock.

She was very clear about Zhou Xiu's grades. Zhou Xiu ranked in the top ten, but she actually got full marks in both mathematics and chemistry?

This was not the most exciting part. When the head of grade read out the names to the end, the third to last one turned out to be Xu Qing from Class 24.

Bathed in the excited gazes of the poor students in Class 24, Xu Qing and Zhou Xiu slowly stepped out of the line.

After the top ten were recognized, a new round of individual subject awards began. This time the commendation meeting suddenly became a little interesting.

Students from the whole grade found that Xie Shen, who was always alone and deserted in previous years, suddenly had a companion this year. This year, there was actually a girl who received the mathematics award together with him. Not only that, she also received the chemistry award together with Xie Shen.

In the end, she also won the biology award, but she did not thank God.

Zhou Xiu had a cold expression on the podium. She was not wearing glasses and had no bangs, revealing her full forehead. Standing among the crowd of boys, she unexpectedly stood out.

"The girl standing next to Xie Shen looks a little unfamiliar. I've never seen her before."

"She is Zhou Xiu! The transfer student from Class 24 this semester."

When did the students in Class 24 become so outstanding that they receive so many scholarships?

Someone said: "She was already very good, you were misled by the random posts on Weibo. She had already been admitted to the math competition class."

One boy said silently: "Am I the only one who thinks this girl is kind of pretty?"

She looks so pretty in her school uniform. She is still wearing school uniform even though it’s vacation. She must be a good student.

Zhou Xiu stood on the podium and received four red envelopes. The envelope was thin. After I got off the podium and opened it, I was depressed to find that the envelope contained card paper representing numbers.

Lao Wang looked at Zhou Xiu's depressed expression and shook his head angrily: "Are you still not happy after receiving the scholarship? The scholarship will be transferred to your account within one working day."

Zhou Xiu took a look at the numbers. The scholarship for the tenth place in the grade was 10,000 yuan, and the single subject scholarship was 5,000 yuan for each subject, so the total of the three subjects was 15,000 yuan. Therefore, the total scholarship Zhou Xiu received for the final exam was 25,000 RMB.

She couldn't help but smile, revealing her shallow dimples.

"Gladly. I'm very happy."

Lao Wang snorted and said contemptuously, "Please make some time to learn English in the future and balance the time for each subject. Look, your class teacher is not happy at all."

Miss Li: “…”

I am not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense, I am very happy today.

After the commendation ceremony.

Students from each class left the venue one after another and returned to the classroom. The poor students in Class 24 met the students in the Rocket Class and they whistled.

They puffed out their chests, held their heads high and strode past the top students.

As they passed by, the poor students said one by one: "Thank you for your encouragement."

"Urge our squad leader to work hard."

"Encourage Xiuxiu to work hard."

The top student in the Rockets class stared at the bright smiles of these second-generation rich kids: "..."

Du Feiyang patted Tan Ming's shoulder and raised his chin to let him look at Lu Lingshan. "It seems that your goddess didn't even make it into the top 30 this time."

"That face is so pale, do you want to go and comfort her?"

Tan Ming was too lazy to pay attention to Du Feiyang.

After returning to the classroom, the poor students couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the lively atmosphere in the classroom was like Chinese New Year.

“Although I wasn’t the one going up there to receive the award, but watching them go up there made me feel like I was there as well.”

"The class monitor actually ranked third, and Zhou Xiu ranked tenth. Oh my god—"

It’s hard to imagine the feelings of the students in the Rocket Class.

Except for Xie Cheng and Xu Haobo, no one scored better than Xu Qing. Among so many top students in the Rocket Class, only three of them made it into the top ten in the grade, while Class 24 is almost entirely made up of poor students, but two of them made it into the top ten.

Before this, no one dared to believe that Zhou Xiu and Xu Qing could perform so well in the exam.

The face that I earned through my own strength smells so good!

The poor students usually don’t pay attention to their grades. They only slowly check their total scores after the commendation meeting. It doesn’t matter if they don’t check, but they get very excited once they check.

This grade ranking was actually determined by them?

Du Feiyang's grade ranking improved by 386 places, and his improved ranking was clearly marked on the score sheet. This time he scored 91 points in chemistry, and he took screenshots of his score and posted them in various places to show off.

She posted her score on WeChat Moments with the caption: "Oh no, I was careless on the last big question in chemistry."

Post your scores on Weibo, feel especially good when you post, and repost to enter the lottery.

The poor students in Class 24 were inspired by Du Feiyang and started to show off their scores crazily on their WeChat Moments.

In a short period of time, many students in the grade knew that Class 24 seemed to have done... quite well in the exam?

The students from the neighboring class 23 found out what happened in class 24. It turned out that Zhou Xiu from class 24 had produced a review material, which led to a sharp improvement in their class's test scores.

After reading the information compiled by Zhou Xiu, Student 23 was shocked and for the first time felt envious of Class 24.

Why doesn’t their class provide review materials and warm-hearted experts in predicting the test questions for this kind of exam? They are also poor students and they want it too.

The last class meeting at the end of the semester.

Miss Li walked into the classroom with a big smile on her face and summarized the students' test results:

"Congratulations, everyone. You all did very well in the exam. Our class's average score has increased by 38 points, from last in the grade to seventh in the standings."

Yude has a total of 25 classes, 13 of which are science classes. Excluding two key science classes, Class 24 jumped to fifth place among ordinary classes thanks to this exam.

"I have seen everyone's efforts this semester. Since the monthly exam, fewer and fewer students have slept in class. After school, the class has gradually started to discuss study. Students have started to attend evening self-study classes for exams.

You have all been working hard silently, and now your efforts have paid off. This is the first time I'm so happy. Really, I declare that the English homework for this winter vacation is cancelled. Have a good new year everyone! ”

When the poor students heard this, their excitement reached its peak.

There was applause from the head teacher. She said, "I look forward to your further progress. I believe in you."

The poor students listened blankly, their eyes feeling a little hot at this moment.

Damn, do you have to be so sentimental? It’s annoying.

They really did it, and they washed off the label of "garbage class" with their own hands.

The poor students turned their heads and looked at Zhou Xiu, with an inexplicable complex emotion in their wet eyes. Although they worked hard, without Zhou Xiu's help, it would be impossible for the score to be raised so much in a short period of time.

After the class meeting, the poor students felt soft and warm in their hearts.

"Zhou Xiu, thank you!"

"Hard work really pays off, Dad believes it!"

"I drank this bowl of poisonous chicken soup, and I also made a bowl of chicken soup for myself. This time I am the chicken soup itself!" said Du Feiyang.

"Fuck, say it again, whose father are you?" Huaxu scolded with a smile.

Zhou Xiu also pursed her lips gently, "You're welcome."

"Everyone, have a good new year."
