73. He has been helping me
When I returned to school, there was no class schedule and the class time was mainly spent with teachers explaining test papers, so the atmosphere in the classroom became a little unusual.
Because every time the test paper for a subject is handed out, a series of voices of frustration, anger, self-doubt and even self-cursing will be heard in the classroom.
"How could I get this question wrong? Am I stupid?"
"I must be crazy. I actually got this question wrong?"
…
In addition to these, there are some sounds that are full of surprises and surprises.
"I actually guessed the answer to this question correctly."
"I really didn't expect that I got this question right."
…
All of these voices share one thing in common: they generally performed well on the test. Only those with high scores have the energy and the mood to dwell on a single question. Those who failed, however, often had low scores, meaning they got too many questions wrong. They don't have the energy or the mood to dwell on whether a single question was right or wrong.
As the exams were handed out, everyone started asking each other how everyone around them had done. Because Xu Wenqiang had improved so rapidly on the midterm exam, everyone was openly and covertly asking how she had done.
But no matter who asked, Xu Wenqiang had only one thing to say, "Wait until all the results are out."
Later, even Su Xiaoshan came to ask. Xu Wenqiang hesitated for a moment, walked out of the classroom with him, and told him the subject grades she had already handed out.
After listening to this, Su Xiaoshan looked at Xu Wenqiang with a deep gaze.
Xu Wenqiang saw his expression and thought, I really can't tell others first. But Su Xiaoshan is not someone else, she can explain to him.
"Su Xiaoshan, I did OK in other subjects, but the Chinese and English scores haven't come out yet. As you know, Chinese and English are my weaker subjects, so my overall score may not be that good."
Su Xiaoshan knew that Xu Wenqiang was telling the truth and that her grades in these two subjects were indeed a variable, but he was still shocked.
Xu Wenqiang's current grades were almost catching up to his. If her Chinese and English scores were a little better, her ranking in this exam would probably shock everyone.
Su Xiaoshan looked at Xu Wenqiang as if he was a complete stranger. She was ranked last in the entrance examination, even first in the whole school. It only took her half a year to complete her complete transformation.
The phrase "reborn" implies being torn apart by pain, being pinned to the ground and tortured. Yet, when Xu Wenqiang was going through all of this, there was no sign of it.
No, it wasn't without warning.
Su Xiaoshan's heart sank.
Xu Wenqiang's midterm exam results were already very dazzling, but he was heartless and only cared about his own results, ignoring everything else.
But what about Xiao Cheng? Did Xiao Cheng witness Xu Wenqiang's transformation?
Su Xiaoshan's face also darkened, and there was a gloom in his eyes.
Xu Wenqiang looked at Su Xiaoshan and asked, "Su Xiaoshan, what's that expression on your face?"
Su Xiaoshan said nothing and turned back to the classroom.
By the last self-study period in the afternoon, the Chinese and English results had not yet come out.
With the exams over, few students were seriously studying during self-study. Some, impatient, urged two class representatives to ask. The class representatives went ahead and asked, but the teacher replied that the Chinese and English exams involved subjective essays, so the marking process would be slower. A small number of papers were still to be graded, and the results would be announced tomorrow.
Xu Wenqiang sighed and slumped over the table. For her, the Chinese and English scores weren't out yet, which meant the final exams weren't even out yet. Because her scores for these two subjects weren't just hers, but the scores of both her and Xiao Cheng.
In the past few days, from dinner to evening study, Xiao Cheng had spent the evenings with her in the small classroom on the top floor of the Grade 12 teaching building; there were also weekend nights when Xiao Cheng helped her do homework in the library study room; and during breaks, Xiao Cheng had solved countless difficult problems for her...
Although Xiao Cheng acted as if helping her was his due, and she shamelessly refused to even say "thank you," Xu Wenqiang knew she owed Xiao Cheng a heavy, and difficult, debt of gratitude. If she failed the exam, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she wouldn't be able to face Xiao Cheng again.
Seeing Xu Wenqiang looking listless, Lin Tong also followed her and lay down on the table.
Lin Tong wasn't good at science, so she was counting on Chinese and English to boost her overall score. She thought about going home tonight with a terrible science score, and the storm that awaited her was unimaginable.
Just as Xu Wenqiang and Lin Tong were lying on the table, looking at each other sadly, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the classroom, "Xu Wenqiang, get out here!"
Xu Wenqiang looked up and saw Wang Rui standing in front of the classroom staring at her.
Wang Rui's attitude wasn't very good, and Xu Wenqiang's heart sank. Could it be...
"Xu Wenqiang, stop dawdling and hurry up." Wang Rui urged.
Xu Wenqiang stood up.
Xiao Cheng watched Xu Wenqiang follow Wang Rui out of the classroom.
Wang Rui came to see Xu Wenqiang, most likely because of her grades. Wang Rui was not a person who could hold her temper, and judging by her attitude just now, it seemed that Xu Wenqiang's grades could only be at two extremes.
Gao Zhe asked in a low voice, "Xiao Cheng, have you asked Xu Wenqiang how she did on the exam?"
Xiao Cheng shook his head, "I didn't ask. I'll tell you after all the results are out."
Gao Zhe said with an ambiguous expression, "You and her seem to be in perfect sync. You both say exactly the same thing."
"That's exactly what happened."
"Are you so ready to admit it?"
"You've already seen her spend the night at our house. Is there anything I can't admit?"
Gao Zhe was stunned, "Xiao Cheng, you've made it!"
Xiao Cheng glanced at Gao Zhe and said, "Don't make a fuss."
"No, Xiao Cheng—" Gao Zhe said anxiously, "You two, you two should respect yourselves!"
Xiao Cheng glanced at Gao Zhe again and said, "I told you not to make a fuss."
Outside the classroom, Wang Rui and Xu Wenqiang stood face to face. They exchanged some words, but Wang Rui suddenly put one arm around Xu Wenqiang's neck, pressing her head to her chest, and then began to rub her hair with the other hand.
Xu Wenqiang struggled for a while, but finally gave up.
Gao Zhe whispered to Xiao Cheng, "Does this count as corporal punishment?"
Xiao Cheng looked at Xu Wenqiang's short hair that was messed up by Wang Rui and murmured, "Xu Wenqiang needs a haircut."
"Teacher Wang, please talk nicely and don't touch me." Xu Wenqiang said as she fixed her messy hair.
Wang Rui looked at Xu Wenqiang, who had been ravaged by her and had no image left, and laughed out loud, "Xu Wenqiang, do you remember how many points you got in Chinese and English?"
"I'll remember." Xu Wenqiang agreed, thinking that it was time for a haircut.
"Just remember it." Wang Rui's palms itched, and she reached out and ruffled Xu Wenqiang's hair a few more times. "How on earth did you do that, you bastard?"
"Teacher Wang, please stop rubbing me!" Xu Wenqiang held her head and begged for mercy.
A bell rang, signaling the end of the last class. As soon as the bell rang, groups of students, backpacks on their backs, streamed out of the first-year high school building. Because the exams were over, the first-year evening study session was suspended, but the second- and third-year evening study sessions continued as usual.
"Teacher Wang, school is over and everyone has gone home." Xu Wenqiang said pitifully.
"Okay, go back." Wang Rui finally let Xu Wenqiang go.
"Goodbye, teacher!"
"Hey, wait a minute."
Just as Xu Wenqiang was about to leave, Wang Rui called her back, "Xu Wenqiang, did Xiao Cheng help you this time?"
Xu Wenqiang turned around and said to Wang Rui, "Not just this time, Xiao Cheng has actually been helping me all along."
