To be honest, she had no idea which class Zhuo Zhiyuan was in in his past life.
But Linda knew.
I was assigned to the same class as her.
She was also in the same class as Ji Siyuan, Class 3.
Now, will she, the butterfly that has flapped its wings, change the outcome?
Chi Chan didn't know.
Generally speaking, the more prestigious the high school, the more emphasis it places on experimental classes, elite classes, and classes for students aiming to be admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University...
The No. 1 Middle School in the city is relatively relaxed in its management, but it is strict in its academics, so the No. 1 Middle School still had these classes last year.
But the policy changed starting this year.
The No. 1 Middle School in the city has abolished the key classes and experimental classes, and now all classes are just regular classes.
Furthermore, we have intensified our efforts in promoting holistic education.
Frankly speaking, the current teaching model at the No. 1 Middle School is not suitable for poor families like Chi Chan and Lin Da.
Poor families cannot afford to send their children to other tutoring classes besides school.
Therefore, the county's top high school, which has designated key classes, is actually the most suitable place for children from poor families.
The elite classes, created by pooling the school's best teaching resources, provide students with the most meticulous care from their teachers.
Here, children from poor families can fully utilize their talents and strengths in learning.
After all, if we want to promote quality education, it's not just the students who need to work hard; parents also need to work hard in private.
For example, Zhuo Zhiyuan's father would hire a tutor for him on weekends to teach him one-on-one, requiring Zhuo Zhiyuan to attend at least one extracurricular class.
Zhuo Zhiyuan's passion for photography also began with an interest class. In addition to photography, Zhuo Zhiyuan is also a very skilled guitarist.
At the No. 1 High School in the city, there are countless students like Zhuo Zhiyuan.
Therefore, in their previous lives, Chi Chan and Lin Da were two 'outcasts' who accidentally stumbled into the dazzling world of the No. 1 High School in the city.
This is not a joke, it's the truth.
The economic base determines the superstructure.
The harsh reality is that, with the development of the times, the proportion of children from poor families among those who go on to higher education institutions will become less and less.
Even more cruelly, even if children from poor families receive offers from higher education institutions through their talent and hard work, their overall performance in school and their future academic and career planning will be far inferior to those from middle-class or higher families.
It's incredibly difficult for children from poor families to change their social class.
Even if one is reborn like a cicada in a pond, enjoying the benefits of the times.
Currently, she lacks the confidence to stand against the tide of the times.
Her current wish is simply to improve her family's living conditions and avoid the tragedy that happened to her family in her previous life.
Of course, if she can build a stable career after graduation through her studies and hard work, then her life can be considered a success.
In any case, future success depends on taking each step steadily and practically now.
There are about 2,300 students in Chi Chan's class at the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
The ratio of students choosing between arts and sciences is 2:3.
There are nearly 1,400 science students in the second year of high school.
Nowadays, parents and students generally tend to choose science subjects, believing that science majors will have better job prospects in the future.
Even at the No. 1 High School in the city, the number of students choosing science is greater than that choosing humanities.
In terms of science scores alone, Chi Chan currently ranks just over 200th in her grade.
In terms of science scores alone, Zhuo Zhiyuan ranked slightly higher than Chi Chan, around 120th in the grade.
As for Linda, there's no need to say anything more.
The recording sessions, which lasted for more than a semester, had no impact on him.
His grades have consistently ranked in the top three of his grade.
Every time Chi Chan finished an exam, she would sigh upon seeing Lin Da's results.
When she achieves this, she'll be laughing in her sleep.
Her dad, her mom, her grandpa, and her grandma would wake up laughing in their dreams.
"Now, after each monthly exam, many classmates make bets in private about who will get second place, you or Li Qifang!"
Brother Da, I'll always support you!
Ji Siyuan consistently ranks first with near-perfect scores, maintaining a lead of at least ten points over the second-place student in the grade.
In a close battle that comes close to a perfect score, one point is already a huge gap, and ten points is an insurmountable chasm.
Therefore, the students at the No. 1 High School in the city, who were ranked second in their grade, would still joke around in private.
No one would be foolish enough to dare challenge Ji Siyuan's authority as number one.
Even though Zhuo Zhiyuan felt that his academic performance was already good enough, he couldn't help but feel a little envious when he mentioned people who were more outstanding than him, such as Li Qifang and Lin Da.
There's no way around it; the students at the No. 1 High School in the city are naturally drawn to the strong.
People with good academic performance always tend to impress others.
"The results will be out tomorrow, so let's leave the class assignments to fate!"
After Chi Chan finished speaking, the three of them dispersed.
The next morning, Chi Chan arrived at school early and saw a crowd gathered in front of the bulletin board from afar.
Before he even got close, Zhuo Zhiyuan spotted Chi Chan with his sharp eyes. His tall, plump figure nimbly squeezed out from the very back of the crowd and ran towards Chi Chan.
He just had a long face.
Chi Chan guessed that the group of people were probably not in the same class.
Sure enough, Zhuo Zhiyuan spoke up: "Why am I the only one who's having bad luck?"
Chi Chan raised an eyebrow: "So Da Ge and I are in the same class, while you're in another class?"
"Ah—ahhh—"
Zhuo Zhiyuan looked up at the sky and roared.
"You and Da Ge are in Class 7, and I'm alone in Class 12. We're both on the second floor, but one of us is on this side of the building and the other is on the other side! That's way too far apart!"
"Alright, you should be grateful that you're still on the first floor!"
Chi Chan comforted him.
At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he and Linda were both in Class 3 in his previous life, but this time they were both assigned to Class 7. It should be different from his previous life!
Different grades lead to different fates!
"Let's go, let's move our things!"
Zhuo Zhiyuan, looking dejected, followed Chi Chan toward the classroom.
There's nothing we can do even if we're unwilling; the school randomly assigns classes by lottery, which is absolutely fair.
Zhuo Zhiyuan's large physique was still somewhat useful when it came to moving things.
He helped Chi Chan and Lin Da move their things into Class 7 in no time.
The homeroom teacher temporarily pulled a student aside to maintain order.
As soon as the two entered Class 7, their classmates asked them questions.
What are your names?
Old Qiu has already randomly assigned seats to everyone, and changing seats is not allowed in principle.
Chi Chan and Lin Da exchanged a glance.
I originally wanted to continue being deskmates, but it seems I have to follow the arrangement.
The two honestly gave their names.
"Linda, one row, five rows."
“Pond cicadas, two rows and six columns.”
After hearing the seat number announced by my classmate.
The two of them didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
These randomly assigned seats are really something!
Well, at least we're sitting in front of and behind each other, which will make it easier for us to exchange ideas and learn from each other in the future.
Let's leave it at that.
