Chapter 413 Praise, Jealousy



"A conspicuous bag!"

Lin Qing was taken aback by her deskmate's answer, then smiled slightly. She hadn't expected that their conversation had been overheard. This made Lin Qing feel a little embarrassed, since talking badly about others behind their backs and having it spread was not a good thing.

Lin Qing glanced around the classroom and noticed that everyone was discussing something in hushed tones. While they were talking, they would occasionally look at Li Hongzhi and then at Lin Qing, while Li Hongzhi sat in his seat with an extremely unpleasant expression.

"Did you know that Li Hongzhi made a bet with someone before the exam, saying that he would definitely get first place in the final exam? But when the results came out, you were first again, and he didn't even make the top three."

The boy sitting next to Lin Qing suddenly lowered his voice and said something to her, with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

After hearing this, Lin Qing shook her head helplessly. She didn't like this kind of pointless competition, and she didn't want to make enemies because of her grades.

Although she didn't want to, she wasn't afraid if others caused her trouble. She turned to look at her gloating deskmate and whispered, "Do you really dislike him?"

Who is it?

Upon hearing this, his deskmate instinctively asked.

"Li Hongzhi!"

Lin Qing replied with a smile.

"It's not that I hate him, it's just that I don't like him. He always acts like he's the best in the world, which is annoying. So when I finally see him make a fool of himself, I can't help but feel happy."

My deskmate shook his head and said nonchalantly.

At that moment, the counselor walked in from outside the classroom.

"Alright, students, please be quiet for a moment." The counselor walked into the classroom, clapped his hands to signal everyone to focus, "Today we are gathered here mainly to summarize this semester and announce the relevant matters for the summer vacation."

As the counselor finished speaking, the murmurs in the classroom gradually subsided, and everyone turned their attention to the podium.

"First of all, I want to congratulate everyone on successfully completing this semester's learning tasks," the counselor said with a smile. "Next, we will enter a pleasant summer vacation. Before the vacation begins, I want to say to everyone that no matter how you did on this exam, it is just a milestone in your learning process. What matters is what you have learned and how much you have grown. Of course, those who failed will still have to retake the exams!"

"Ha ha……"

The students in the classroom couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing the counselor's humorous words, and Lin Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and reveal a smile as well.

Only Li Hongzhi's face turned even uglier. Lin Qing couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this. This class monitor was too ambitious!

Li Hongzhi's deskmate, the same classmate who had been eavesdropping on Lin Qing and the others' conversation, was now sitting cautiously in his seat. He glanced furtively at Li Hongzhi's unpleasant expression and dared not speak again.

The whole thing is his own fault. He wasn't paying attention to his surroundings when he was chatting with Li Hongzhi, and accidentally let his classmates hear Li Hongzhi's nickname, which gave Li Hongzhi another laughing stock in the class.

"Next, I would like to give special praise to Lin Qing," the homeroom teacher continued. "She is not only first in our class, but also first in the grade. Moreover, her score is 32 points higher than the second-place student, making her the highest score in the entire school. Let's give Lin Qing a warm round of applause to encourage her, and hope that she will continue to work hard!"

"Clap clap clap... Clap clap clap..."

As soon as the counselor finished speaking, the class erupted in applause. They were all students who loved learning, and they admired their classmates who did well in their studies. At the same time, they secretly resolved to catch up with Lin Qing in the next exam.

Of course, Li Hongzhi was not among these people. He felt that Lin Qing had just gotten lucky, that was, he was just lucky. He hadn't performed well this time, otherwise he would definitely have been number one.

Hearing the applause, Lin Qing lowered her head somewhat shyly.

Li Hongzhi's face darkened further. He felt that these things originally belonged to him, but now they had been given to Lin Qing.

"Of course, there are many other outstanding students in our class, such as Wang Aiguo, Li Hongzhi, and Liu Dajun. Your hard work and progress are evident to all."

The counselor then mentioned the names of some students one by one, and everyone felt very happy and proud. Only Li Hongzhi was unhappy because the teacher did not mention his name first, but instead mentioned Wang Aiguo's name first, which made him feel that he was being looked down upon.

"Finally, I hope everyone has a good rest during the summer vacation, and at the same time, don't forget to study and improve yourselves." The homeroom teacher concluded his speech. "Alright, if you don't have any special questions, you can leave now. Have a great summer vacation!"

With the homeroom teacher gone, the classroom became lively again. Lin Qing packed her things and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Li Hongzhi blocked Lin Qing's way again. He glared at Lin Qing with bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Lin Qing, you're lucky this time, but you won't be so lucky next time!"

Lin Qing looked at Li Hongzhi and raised an eyebrow. "Don't talk big yet. Let's talk after you surpass me!"

"Pfft..."

"Pfft..."

...

Hearing their conversation, bursts of laughter filled the classroom once again.

"snort!"

Li Hongzhi's face turned bright red. He snorted, said nothing more, and turned to leave the classroom.

Lin Qing watched Li Hongzhi walk away and shook her head helplessly.

"Be careful, he's incredibly stingy!"

Seeing Lin Qing's nonchalant attitude, Lin Qing's deskmate couldn't help but remind her.

"Okay, I understand, thank you!"

Lin Qing looked at her deskmate who had reminded her, smiled, and nodded to indicate that she understood.

After Lin Qing finished packing her things, she left the classroom and went downstairs. Zhao Xi was also carrying books and came out of the classroom at the same time.

Lin Qing and Zhao Xi arrived at the meeting point together. After everyone had arrived, they rode their bicycles home together.

On the way, Lin Qing told her friends what had happened in the classroom, and they burst into laughter again.
