Thinking of all the hardships she had endured during this time, and seeing how clean and tidy Xuanwei was, Ling Tian's eyes welled up with tears again without her realizing it.
Xuanwei vaguely sensed the sobbing behind her, and suddenly turned around, only to see Ling Tian wiping her eyes and shedding tears.
She had seen Ling Tian's photo before, so she recognized Ling Tian at a glance.
Although she didn't know why Ling Tian was crying, she understood the simple truth that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Therefore, she also gave Ling Tian a kind smile.
"Xuanwei?"
Just then, Bao Geng suddenly tapped on Xuan Wei's desk and said softly:
"Here is a diagnostic test paper. Hand it to me before the end of the first class."
"Huh? There's a placement test?"
Xuanwei quickly turned around and looked at Bao Geng in surprise.
Bao Geng said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, it's just a simple little test."
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Xuanwei nodded, deliberately creating two shallow dimples to make herself look sweeter.
She originally thought that the simple test Bao Geng mentioned was indeed very simple.
But when she discovered that the test paper was not easy at all, and she couldn't even understand the questions, she realized that studying was not easy.
The reason she mistakenly believed that she was extremely talented in studying was simply because everyone in the orphanage, from the director to the children, praised her for being intelligent and capable.
Having not seen much of the world, she developed this misconception, always feeling that she was a top student when it came to academics.
Seeing that her image as a top student was about to be ruined, Xuanwei was so nervous that she couldn't sit still.
With nowhere else to turn, she mustered her courage and gently poked Ji Yan's arm:
"Excuse me, can you teach me how to do this problem?"
"This test paper is extremely easy. Take another look at it carefully."
Ji Yan frowned, never expecting that his new deskmate would be such a complete academic failure.
She couldn't do a math problem that even the least talented student in Class F could easily solve?
"I haven't been to school for a while, and I can't remember what to do right now," Xuanwei said stammeringly, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"If you don't know how to do it, just leave it blank. After all, this is an exam, and I can't help you cheat."
After Ji Yan finished speaking, he ignored her and started working on his math problems.
Upon hearing the word "cheating," Xuanwei felt even more embarrassed, and her fair face instantly turned as red as if it were burning.
After being coldly rejected by Ji Yan, she was at a loss and had no choice but to bite the bullet and fill out the forms haphazardly...
After enduring an agonizing class sitting in her seat, Xuanwei finally mustered the courage to hand in her diagnostic test paper to Bao Geng. "Teacher, I don't really know how to do the questions on the test. Give me some time, and I'm sure I can catch up."
"But this exam paper is clearly very simple!"
Bao Geng seemed somewhat surprised, and unconsciously raised the pitch of his voice at the end of his sentence.
From the very beginning, she was reluctant to accept Xuan Wei, but the principal had no choice but to bring up Zhan Hanjue's name.
Forced by powerful figures, she had no choice but to accept this burden who only dragged down the class average.
However, she originally thought that even if Xuanwei's grades weren't outstanding, she could at least score 70 or 80 on this diagnostic test.
To her utter astonishment, Xuanwei actually imitated the academic genius in Class F and got a zero on the placement test.
"Xuanwei, do you really not know how to answer a single question?"
Bao Geng pressed on, unwilling to give up, hoping that Xuan Wei would suddenly realize something like Ling Mo and become number one in her grade.
But when she met Xuan Wei's eyes, which were filled with fear and unease, she knew that Xuan Wei could not be the second Ling Mo.
Ling Mo's confidence and composure stem from his formidable strength.
Xuanwei's inferiority complex and timidity also show that she truly lacks confidence.
Xuanwei noticed the strange looks being cast at her from those around her, and became even more flustered.
However, in the blink of an eye, she regained her original energy and said with particular certainty:
"From childhood to adulthood, everyone has said that I have a talent for studying. I think that as long as I have some time, I will definitely be able to do my best."
"Studying is not that easy."
Bao Geng shook his head with a sense of despair. The thought of losing his annual scholarship for outstanding teacher because of Xuan Wei, such a good-for-nothing student, made him feel extremely distressed.
Xuanwei bit her lower lip and realized that things were not quite what she had imagined, which inevitably gave rise to a strong sense of disappointment.
After returning to her seat in a sullen mood, she could no longer contain her grievances and burst into tears.
Having grown tired of girls like Ling Tian, Ji Yan found Xuan Wei, who was just as pretentious and affected as Ling Tian, utterly boring.
He grabbed two books hastily and headed out of the classroom.
As soon as Ji Yan left, Xiong Chumo took his seat, gently patted Xuan Wei's back, and said in a particularly kind tone:
"Xuanwei, don't be sad. When Ling Mo from Class F first transferred to our school, she also got a zero. But she's very resilient and I've never seen her shed a single tear."
"Huh? She also got a zero?"
Xuanwei managed to stop her tears, as if she had received a great comfort, and asked Xiong Chumo curiously.
Ling Tian watched coldly as her former best friend turned around and started dating someone else, and she trembled with anger.
She complained to Wu Xinyi indignantly:
"I always confided in Chu Mo, but I never expected that she would change so much in just a few days. She used to avoid me, but now she's fawning over a good-for-nothing student."
