The holiday passed quickly, and we returned to school on Monday, just in time for the monthly exam results to be released.
After the extended recess activities, the grade sheets were already posted on the wall at the front of the classroom.
When Lu Chuqing and Qu Fusang returned, a large crowd had already gathered there.
Upon seeing the two of them, their eyes showed more or less surprise, and they all made way for them.
In fact, Lu Chuqing wasn't interested in rankings. She knew she wasn't naturally gifted, so she never thought about getting any particular ranking. She just wanted to do her best, learn more, and improve herself. As for what ranking she got, she would be satisfied as long as it wasn't too bad.
Qu Fusang knew the rankings were out and wanted to take her to see them, because the first period was Wang Qiang's class, and she said that during the afternoon self-study period, they would arrange the seats according to their grades.
The little girl wanted to sit next to her, but was afraid that their grades would be too far apart, so she insisted on coming to see her.
Just as she and Qu Fusang squeezed past, Nangong Yu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, crowded in front of them, and peered at the wall.
When they saw that she was first in the class, both of them widened their eyes at the same time!
"Qing'er! You're amazing!" Nangong Yu patted her shoulder, his face full of pride. "No wonder I, Nangong Yu, have my eye on you! You're awesome!"
Lu Chuqing was too lazy to pay attention to him. After all, she had been reborn once, and it was only the very basic knowledge of the first year of junior high school, which couldn't be simpler. It would be embarrassing if she couldn't even get the top score in her class!
However, Qu Fusang was still looking at her individual subject scores, and after reading them, she exclaimed, "Chuqing, you are really amazing! You only lost two points in Chinese."
You know, Chinese is all about composition, and you'll lose at least one or two points for that, not to mention reading comprehension and such, which are really hard to get full marks on.
As she spoke, she glanced at the grade ranking list next to her, and upon seeing Lu Chuqing's name in the fifth row, she shouted just like Nangong Yu, "Chuqing! You're amazing! Fifth in the grade!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu also went over to look, and then exclaimed loudly, "Holy crap!" "Qing'er! The top student is right next to me! You're amazing!"
"Ahhh! The top student is right next to me!"
Nangong Yu and Qu Fusang hugged Lu Chuqing at the same time and started shouting. The two of them were so happy that they looked like they had struck it rich!
Lu Chuqing was being held so tightly by the two of them that she could hardly breathe. She struggled and said, "Let go! You two are going to strangle me..."
The two stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and then hugged each other again, shouting, "Ahhh! A genius!"
"Let's soak up some of the academic genius's aura!!"
Help! I'm being strangled!
During the afternoon self-study period, Wang Qiang indeed came over to change seats.
She had arranged the seats in advance, and when she arrived in the classroom, she asked all the students to leave and then called one person to come in.
Qu Fusang grumbled to her softly, "If I had known Chu Qing was such a good student, I would have worked harder. I wonder if I would still be able to sit next to you."
She had barely finished speaking, and before Lu Chuqing could even offer her some comfort, Wang Qiang had already called her name.
"Here!" the girl answered hurriedly, walking through the crowd of students to the door.
Wang Qiang glanced at the girl in front of her. After all, she was the top student in her class, and she was quite satisfied with her overall impression.
He nodded and said, "The second seat from the left in the middle of the third row."
Good heavens, those seats in the middle of the three rows are the perfect spots for listening to the lecture!
Lu Chuqing bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, teacher." Then she walked towards that spot.
Because of this action, Wang Qiang's impression of her improved even more.
Even though it's been a month since school started, she loves students who are good at learning.
Some students at the school also had a foundation in their grades from sixth grade, but she felt that the past was the past, the present was the present, and the future was still very uncertain.
Before the monthly exam, she would look at all the students, but not for more than a second; she only looked at this monthly exam.
She pays more attention to students with good grades, but she doesn't ignore those with poor grades either. As long as they study, she will accept them regardless of how bad their grades are.
Lu Chuqing's good grades had already caught her attention; the girl seemed generous, composed, and exceptionally polite.
This made her feel more favorably toward the top student in the class.
After seeing the little girl sit down, she continued calling out names, "Liu Zhang." A boy answered, "Here."
"The second seat from the right in the middle of the third row."
The classroom desks are all single desks, but there are two desks side by side against the wall, and the people sitting on either side will be deskmates.
In the middle are four tables put together, which means four people can sit in a row.
Therefore, Lu Chuqing and the boy named Liu Zhang became deskmates.
Liu Zhang was a typical good student; he wore glasses, didn't like to talk, and was very quiet.
Lu Chuqing originally wanted to greet him, but this person had been holding an English book the whole time. After sitting down, he didn't even look at her, opened the vocabulary page, and started quietly reciting.
She had no choice but to keep quiet, afraid of disturbing him.
Then they started calling out names, and the classroom seats gradually filled up.
Lu Chuqing discovered that Wang Qiang was seated in the radial row.
Although the top students were placed in the middle, the students on the periphery were arranged from highest to lowest score.
In other words, those who didn't do well in school were either in the first row or next to the wall, or in the last row.
Lu Chuqing thought that the side against the wall and the last row were both excellent spots.
Although the middle is an excellent spot for listening to lectures, it's crowded and stuffy.
And, coincidentally, everyone around her was a boy.
Good heavens! What incredible good fortune this is!
Wang Qiang is really daring to arrange things like that!
It wasn't that there weren't any girls with good grades; it was just that, in order to make the good students sit more evenly, the already limited number of girls were scattered even more.
The girl sitting in front of her was Nangong Yu, and Nangong Yu's deskmate was a girl with short hair.
The boy behind me seemed quite cheerful, and soon he started talking to the people on either side of his deskmate, who was a long-haired girl who loved to laugh.
Her deskmate, the boy to her left, was named Qi Yu. He seemed to be quiet, but he didn't give the impression of being difficult to get along with.
Yes, she was subtly referring to Liu Zhang on the right, whose first impression is that he's difficult to get along with.
Moreover, his deskmate was a thin-looking boy with long hair and thick-rimmed glasses. He lowered his head when his name was called.
She seems very timid and submissive, and looks easy to bully.
As the boy sat down, his arm, which was moving the chair, accidentally bumped into Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang immediately clicked his tongue while holding his book, and then shoved his chair away.
The boy immediately started apologizing, but Liu Zhang retorted, "Aren't you annoying? Can you please stop disturbing my recitation?"
The boy was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word for a moment. After sitting down, he still whispered an apology.
At the time, Wang Qiang was still calling out names, and there were some whispers in the class, so she didn't notice this commotion.
But Lu Chuqing was right next to her and saw everything clearly, which instantly lowered her impression of Liu Zhang.
