On the ranking list, the name that has long occupied the top spot has changed. It is no longer Ji Yue, but Su Qingyun!
Su Qingyun scored 395 out of a total of 400 points, with only five points deducted for her composition! Second-place finisher Ji Yue was only two points behind her, but that was a significant difference.
The crowd suddenly erupted in an uproar, "Ji Yue has been surpassed!"
"Who is Su Qingyun?" There were still people in the crowd who didn't know Su Qingyun.
The person next to him immediately explained, "She's from our class and was even praised in the provincial newspaper. The newspaper posted on the bulletin board last time mentioned her."
"So awesome?" The student who asked the question was surprised.
"That's not true." Su Qingyun's classmate shook his head and sighed, "Now Ji Yue's number one position is no longer secure."
His tone was quite gloating. Ji Yue had a cold personality and seldom interacted with classmates. He was also good-looking and popular with girls, so many people had a bad impression of him. Now that Su Qingyun had snatched his first place, many people were gloating overtly or covertly.
The person involved, Ji Yue, just glanced at it indifferently and turned away. There was no expression of loss on his face, which made many people disappointed.
"Why are you pretending!" someone scoffed. "Even if you're so arrogant, you'll still be surpassed."
Su Qingyun, who had just seen her grades, frowned and looked at the boy who spoke. "What's your name?"
"Me...me?" Seeing her ask this question, the boy was a little flattered. He obviously knew Su Qingyun. "My name is Liang Xingyang."
"Liang Xingyang?" Su Qingyun glanced at the list and quickly found his name. "No. 87."
She smiled and said, "Eighty-seventh. Who gave you the courage to laugh at the second-place winner?"
The boy's happy face froze instantly, and Ji Yue, who had just walked a short distance, stopped in his tracks.
"Wait until you surpass Ji Yue before saying such things." Su Qingyun's cold and indifferent words made the boy lower his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
After she turned and left, the crowd, which had just quieted down, began to whisper again.
"Su Qingyun speaks so much for Ji Yue, does she really like Ji Yue?"
"It's very likely! She used to chase Ji Yue often."
"But now it seems that they are quite compatible, both in terms of grades and looks."
Ji Yue, who heard every word of these, pursed his lips and rubbed his hot ears with his fingertips. His heartbeat inexplicably quickened a little. He frowned, calmed down, and left.
In the office, the teachers were also discussing the test results. Teacher Qin was surrounded by the head teachers of the other two classes, with a smug smile on his face.
The head teacher of Class 2 said sourly, "Teacher Qin, your class now has two great players. One Ji Yue is not enough, and now we have Su Qingyun. You are really blessed."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Teacher Qin's face faded. "What's the point of me being blessed? They weren't blessed. They weren't born in the best of times. Now... they can't even get into university. Sigh."
Her words silenced the other two teachers. Every year, there are so many high school graduates in the country, but not many can be assigned good jobs. Many go to the countryside to build or return home to farm. If studying can't even find the direction to move forward, then what is the point of studying?
Teacher Qin also fell silent. She didn't know how to describe her feelings when she saw Su Qingyun and Ji Yue's grades. She felt both proud and distressed. She was proud of their grades and talents, but distressed about their future and prospects.
At this moment, she did not know that the sky full of dark clouds would eventually clear up and the sun would shine again. Now, she was just a teacher who was worried about her students.
Su Qingyun was completely unaware of the teachers' concerns. When the test papers were handed to her, she only glanced at the full marks except for the Chinese language subject.
"Congratulations, first place." A boy's clear and pleasant voice came from beside him, less indifferent than before.
Su Qingyun looked at Ji Yue in surprise. Was that what he said just now? Was she hallucinating?
Ji Yue felt a little uncomfortable with her surprised look, "First place, isn't it worth congratulating?"
Su Qingyun had no reason to refuse to show respect to someone who was showing goodwill. She smiled and said, "Second place isn't bad either. Congratulations to you."
Ji Yue turned his head and saw the camellia outside the window blooming quietly, sending out a sweet fragrance. The young man slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, seeming more charming than the camellia.
Taking advantage of the lunch break at noon, Su Qingyun slipped out of the school and rushed into the recycling station.
"Uncle Wang, I'm here!" Her tone became more familiar day by day.
"Here, the brake pads you want." Wang Zhihua handed the thing to her. Su Qingyun's eyes lit up. The final parts were finally there!
She couldn't wait to install the bicycle's brake system. She lifted her leg and got on the bike, pedaled, the chain turned, and the bike slid out. Su Qingyun skillfully circled the recycling station twice, and finally squeezed the brakes and stopped steadily.
Su Qingyun got off the bike, touched the bicycle seat, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"Let me see." Wang Zhihua said.
Su Qingyun handed the bike to him. Wang Zhihua took a step forward and stared around. He was pleasantly surprised to find that although it was a bike made up of these old parts, it rode just like those bikes sold outside for over a hundred yuan.
Wang Zhihua didn't know if it was his illusion, he even felt that this bicycle was more labor-saving and easier to ride than those on the market.
"It's really good!" After the experience, Wang Zhihua praised it highly.
Su Qingyun smiled, and felt proud for a rare moment. It was funny, perhaps because this bicycle was hard to come by, she felt more satisfied than when she had completed an experimental project in her previous life.
