The form that Zhou Xiu passed down was passed back and forth among the poor students. When the last form was returned to Huaxu, she took a look at it in surprise and raised her eyebrows.
The tidbit asked: "Are you all participating?"
Without hesitation, everyone said in unison: "Participate!"
Class 24 is no longer the last class. After this monthly exam, its ranking has risen to fourth among ordinary classes. If you think carefully, their results are not bad.
"If we don't participate, no one from other classes will participate."
"To be honest, I was just thinking about the Winners who usually hang out with us. If you really count, they're not much better than us. If they dare to join, can we be timid?"
"Let's work together this time, okay?"
This has to work!
Men can't say no.
"The responsibility today does not lie with anyone else, but with our Class 24." A poor student suddenly had an idea and said arrogantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Xu Qing glanced at the neatly filled expression of interest form and couldn't help but smile. He said, "Signing this really means you have to work hard. Good luck on the college entrance exams, everyone!"
The poor students shouted loudly: "Good luck in the college entrance examination!"
The two classes next door were shocked by the noise.
After school, Huaxu handed the college entrance examination registration intention form to the class teacher. Miss Li was stunned when she saw the rows of ticks on their forms.
She couldn't believe her eyes and even thought that the students were making fun of her. But thinking about their personalities, they don't seem like the kind of people who would joke about such things.
"You all... are taking the college entrance examination?"
Huatidote shrugged, "I did participate, but——"
But we still have to see how it performs after a year.
But at this time, the desire to participate is also sincere.
Miss Li stared at the form for a long time. It was covered with check marks in different colors and handwritings. They were either crooked or visible through the paper. Through this table, she seemed to be able to see the students' conflicted yet brave expressions before making their choices.
The head teacher was touched and said, "It is rare that they have such courage."
Not long after Huateng went to the office, the news that the entire class of Class 24 would take the college entrance examination spread throughout the grade.
Everyone was so shocked that the melon seeds in their hands dropped.
What?
The worst class in the grade, is the entire class taking the college entrance examination?
If they didn't know that Class 24 was a group of rich second-generations, they would have suspected that the principal was using money to tempt them to take the college entrance examination.
At the same time, in Class 15, which ranked first among ordinary classes, only one-third of the students signed up for the college entrance examination.
Their class teacher, Mr. Fang, tried to mobilize the students to take the college entrance examination, but he spoke until his mouth was dry and he failed to mobilize more students.
Teacher Fang couldn't help but ask Miss Li for advice, but Miss Li shook her head.
Miss Li said: "It's not me who persuaded them, they are all quite sensible."
Teacher Fang: “…”
She had a "are you kidding me" expression written all over her face.
Is this the Class 24 that was often criticized in school notices last year for dating, fighting, showing off their wealth, and skipping classes? Teacher Fang is almost no longer able to recognize the word "sensible".
Flag-raising rally on Monday.
All the students in Class 24 took part in the college entrance exam and were specially praised by the principal.
The poor students in Class 24 were shocked at first when they heard the principal's praise, but then they felt so happy as if they had drunk honey, and a tingling sensation spread throughout their bodies.
Is this... what it feels like to be praised?
This is too unfamiliar.
They bathed in the rays of light that came from all directions, with their heads held high and their lips pursed to prevent them from curling up in pride, their expressions never before been calm.
After the flag-raising rally, the calm students showed their true colors as they walked up the stairs. They were almost going crazy with laughter:
"Oh my god! I was actually praised by the principal."
"The tone of his voice made me think he was going to give us a certificate of honor."
"And, I am actually admired by others."
This was a strange and rare experience for them.
The poor students returned to the classroom with smiles on their faces, and took out their textbooks to start reading in the morning.
After the flag-raising ceremony, the freshman students couldn’t calm down for a long time. How could there be such a loyal class? In everyone's opinion, it doesn't matter whether the school is downgraded or not, it is not something they can worry about anyway.
Some people suddenly remembered: "My senior Ming is in this class!"
"Sister Xu is also in this class!"
"Wow, what a coincidence! My brother Yang is also in this class..."
"Wait, there's also my senior Xu Qing——"
It seemed like the fans had found their organization, and the people they liked were all from Class 24.
I’m so jealous. What kind of magical class is this? With so many handsome boys and beautiful girls, and when the school was in danger of survival, this ordinary class all took the college entrance examination.
The entire class took the college entrance examination. In Yude Middle School, this is something only key classes would do.
After the class bell rang, the bustling campus returned to silence.
At this time, Lu Lingshan came to the school to go through the transfer procedures.
She transferred her student status at the Academic Affairs Office and received a transfer application form with the principal's stamp on it. On the way, she looked at her file, which recorded the punishment of "cheating in the exam".
Lu Lingshan received the transfer application form and left the Academic Affairs Office. When she walked down the stairs, she met a girl.
This is a high school girl. She saw her former goddess leaving the school sadly with her form.
She couldn't help but call Lu Lingshan, clenched her fist and asked, "Senior Lu, you didn't do those things, right?"
Lu Lingshan saw the little flame burning in her eyes and smiled.
Although she is leaving, she can still cause trouble for Zhou Xiu and the behind-the-scenes show.
Lu Lingshan said: "No."
The girl hugged her and said, "I understand, Senior Lu, I will miss you in the future."
"Continue to shine in your new school and don't get involved in this kind of thing again."
Lu Lingshan nodded and smiled.
More and more students in Class 24 voluntarily participated in the evening self-study.
Students from other classes who usually hang out with them occasionally ask them to skip classes and go out and hang out.
The poor students resolutely refused: "No, I want to take the college entrance examination!"
"Trupturing classes? Not happening."
Didn’t you see that we were so busy that we had to attend evening self-study classes?
If I have free time, why do I need to go to evening self-study?
Zhou Xiu had two competitions in May. Zhou Xiu, who usually only attended one evening self-study class, also began to voluntarily attend two evening self-study classes.
After signing the college entrance examination registration intention form, the entire class unanimously cherished their time and immersed themselves in studying hard in the sea of questions.
In mid-April, the school’s notice for the “May Fourth Youth Day” and Sports, Culture and Arts Festival was issued. The cultural and arts committee member Lan Xin began planning the class performance projects.
The poor students who have been immersed in studying for many days finally felt a sense of relief. Normally they are as wild as a horse that has broken free from its reins. It is really difficult to make them behave like college entrance examination candidates.
Du Feiyang asked seriously: "Is Youth Day a holiday?"
Lan Xin said, "Yes, we will have a day off after watching the performances at the art festival in the morning."
"Then the question is, what kind of show will our class perform this time? We need a group project, and individual projects are free to sign up."
Everyone started to pass the buck.
"Don't look at me, I don't want to perform again this year." Huatiao shook his head frantically.
Tan Ming coughed lightly and tried to distance himself from the matter: "I can, but it's always me every year. I think they're tired of me—"
Lan Xin couldn't help but laugh: "How can I get bored? The junior girls can't wait to see 'Senior Ming' every day."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment for a long time. Yu Qingyan weakly raised her hand and said, "Why don't we arrange a performance that saves more time?"
She said seriously: "Poetry recitation with piano accompaniment."
It's a bit rustic, but it saves a lot of trouble.
Yu Qingyan's proposal actually received a high vote of approval. This idea was so fresh, unconventional, and unique among the flashy programs of previous years.
The students agreed enthusiastically.
The only dissenting vote was from the Arts and Literature Committee member of Class 24: “…”
Yuan Ruoyi took on the role of playing the piano.
Lan Xin had trouble choosing a poem to recite, so Zhou Xiu carefully searched on her phone and handed it to her: "How about this poem "To Youth"?"
Lan Xin made a noise and designated it.
Although it was a simple program, the students in the class rehearsed diligently for a long time. Before the Cultural and Art Festival, Class 24 went to the school music classroom to rehearse for half an hour every afternoon after school, and Huaxiao was responsible for preparing the costumes.
In order to match such fresh and clean poetry, she prepared special costumes for each student. Zhou Xiu got a very beautiful and sweet dress.
The boys all wore suits, waxed their hair, and looked energetic and presentable.
On the May Fourth Youth Day, Huaxu asked Zhang Qi to help record a video for their class.
She said seriously: "Remember to keep your hands steady and don't shake."
Zhang Qi knew that Class 24 had a poetry recitation program, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I get it."
Isn't it just a show?
I have never seen the behind-the-scenes footage pay so much attention to previous cultural festivals.
Half an hour before the poetry recitation program, the students of Class 24 went to the changing room in the waiting room to change their clothes.
When Zhou Xiu got her clothes, she was surprised. She said to Yu Qingyan, "My clothes seem to be of poor quality."
Yu Qingyan was flipping through her clothes without even glancing at them, "How is that possible? Sister Xu wouldn't buy clothes of poor quality—"
Yu Qingyan shook Zhou Xiu's clothes and found nothing wrong.
Zhou Xiu took it and pulled it with a little force, and it suddenly broke into two pieces, which was originally intact.
Yu Qingyan: “…”
If Zhou Xiu wore this on stage, she would be so embarrassed that she would be exposed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't do a good job of checking the clothes." Yu Qingyan apologized quickly.
Yu Qingyan was anxious and angry. She was so anxious that she was spinning around holding the clothes. She went to find Huaxu, who called to arrange for the goods.
Although the clothes could be obtained, they were delivered too late. What's more, Zhou Xiu is one of the leading readers, and it would be difficult to do without her.
Huaxu took out the needle and thread she had used in the handicraft class, and after thinking for a while, she handed it to Yu Qingyan:
"Qingyan, come here. I failed my handicraft class. If you sew my clothes, they will be ruined."
Yu Qingyan was embarrassed. She was not very good at handicraft. She took the needle and thread of the flower tidbits and looked for classmates to mend it everywhere.
The poor students in Class 24 were asked one by one whether they could do handicrafts: "..."
Are you kidding me?
The most terrifying thing is that even Du Feiyang was asked this question. Du Feiyang was ashamed. Although he didn't say anything, his face showed: Do I look like someone who can sew?
Zhou Xiu held Yu Qingyan and said, "Forget it, I won't go. It doesn't matter if I'm missing."
Yu Qingyan shook her head vigorously and wiped the sweat off her forehead: "No, no one can be missing. It won't be complete without one."
"Xiu Xiu, give me ten minutes, I'll be back soon."
Yu Qingyan was holding Zhou Xiu's skirt and asking around in the busy backstage. She kept asking, "Excuse me, can you sew? A classmate in my class has a torn performance costume and needs to be mended."
The classmate in Winner Class asked, "Whose is it?"
The dress looked so pretty, it's a shame to have it ruined like this.
"Zhou Xiu's."
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and said calmly, "Give it to me."
Yu Qingyan turned around in surprise, and it was Xi Shaoyuan. Her heart skipped a beat and she didn't know where to put her hands or her eyes.
Xi Shaoyuan found an empty classroom, took Zhou Xiu's clothes and started mending them.
Yu Qingyan was sitting on the other side. She held her face and watched from afar, unable to help but screaming in her heart.
Why can Yuan Shao do things so perfectly even if girls can't do them?
Soon, Xi Shaoyuan easily sewed the skirt, returned it to Yu Qingyan, and said lightly: "Don't tell anyone."
Yu Qingyan nodded frantically and made a zipper-up motion, "Promise not to reveal a single word."
Waiting room.
Zhou Xiu heard the sound of the previous show halfway through. She looked at her watch and found that Yu Qingyan had not returned yet.
Huaxu held his forehead and asked, "Where did Qingyan go? Did she go to find the handicraft teacher?"
"This stupid girl."
If I had known this would happen, I would have just sewed it myself. The audience is so far away, and they can’t see if the stitching is ugly.
Zhou Xiu pursed her lips and said, "I'll go find her and come back."
Zhou Xiu walked past a classroom and unexpectedly saw Yu Qingyan. Her gaze shifted and she saw Xi Shaoyuan.
The sunlight gently shines on the boy's serious face, and his eyelashes are thick and long. The hands holding the needle and thread had long, slender thumbs with distinct joints. The thin needle and thread moved through the skirt, and the skirt was quickly mended.
He said, “Don’t tell anyone.”
"Including Zhou Xiu."
