Ji Xiaoxiao raised her head high, "I'm sure I'll be number one in the whole school this week's test." Ji Xiaoxiao was full of confidence, but little did she know how miserable the ending usually is for people who set such high goals for themselves.
The week consisted of two days of exams and a half-day holiday. Ji Xiaoxiao went back to the Xia family to test their studies. The Xia family parents had made great progress, and the two younger children had also become quite different.
"Good job, keep it up."
"Yes, teacher." The Xia family members answered in unison. They didn't know when it started, but Ji Xiaoxiao was no longer the Xia family's daughter, but their teacher.
Ji Xiaoxiao stayed for a sumptuous dinner before rushing back to school. The teachers at the school were skilled at grading papers; the results for the first two exams, Chinese and Math, were already out and held tightly by the subject representatives.
As Ji Xiao entered the classroom, her heart pounded wildly.
Zhou Tao walked over and patted Ji Xiaoxiao on the shoulder, "Not bad!"
"Which subject? What score?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked impatiently.
"Math 124, Chinese 120." Zhou Tao stared intently at Ji Xiaoxiao with an expression as if she were a monster. Not long ago, she was barely passing every class, but now she has entered the ranks of the top students in the class. Ji Xiaoxiao's progress is remarkable.
Zhou Tao believed that Ji Xiaoxiao had achieved brilliant results, which was worthy of her hard work during this period. But in Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes, she had lost, lost miserably. When she came over, she heard that someone had scored 142 in math, while she only scored 124. The gap was too big.
Recalling her boast from two days ago, Ji Xiaoxiao blushed with embarrassment. Let alone being number one in the whole school, even being number one in her class would be difficult.
The next morning, the class representative handed out the Chinese and math tests.
Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at the bright red score, gritted her teeth in resentment, and began to look for mistakes, writing them down in her notebook.
"How could she have gotten so many questions wrong?" Some of the questions shouldn't have been deducted points, but Ji Xiaoxiao was careless. She either missed a number or misread the question. Her calculations were also not rigorous and careful enough, which led to her losing points one after another.
Through reflection and summarization, Ji Xiaoxiao is making continuous progress.
"English 145, Science 110."
Ji Xiaoxiao pondered to herself. She was confident in English, but she would need to put in more effort in subjects like science, math, and Chinese. However, high scores weren't just a matter of hard work; even when scores were similar on paper, certain techniques were also necessary.
A day later, the weekly test results were announced. The top student in the entire second year of high school was a boy from the next class, while Ji Xiaoxiao ranked thirty-second.
Ji Xiaoxiao stood straight, staring intently.
"Look, it's Xia Muran."
"She ranked 32nd in the whole grade this time, that's amazing."
sharp?
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing; what she wanted was to be number one.
Turning around, Ji Xiaoxiao headed towards the classroom.
"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaoxiao stared straight at him, making Zhou Tao restless and feeling numb all over.
"Class monitor, you got third place in the whole grade and first place in the class in this weekly test. Can you teach me some study and test-taking skills?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked humbly.
Zhou Tao was somewhat surprised, but did not refuse, "Okay."
Turning her grief and anger into positive effort, Ji Xiaoxiao studied late into the night, even stealing light through a hole in the wall. With Zhou Tao's strong support, Ji Xiaoxiao made rapid progress.
In the latest weekly test, Ji Xiaoxiao ranked among the top five in the entire grade.
"Mu Ran, what a top student!"
His classmates looked at him with admiration and envy.
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled amicably, "Compared to the class monitor, I'm still far from being good enough."
Zhou Tao ranked first in the entire grade in this exam.
"If Muran continues to work hard day and night, he will catch up with me sooner or later." Zhou Tao was telling the truth. He had seen everything Ji Xiaoxiao had done. Ji Xiaoxiao got up earlier than the chickens and slept later than the dogs. She was always holding a book, memorizing and applying what she learned. How could she not succeed?
no pain no gain.
"There are only five days left until the June monthly exam, Mu Ran, you really need to give it your all." Zhou Tao's competitive spirit ignited.
Ji Xiaoxiao said solemnly, "I will."
It was for his own honor, and also to fulfill the original owner's long-cherished wish.
At 11:30 p.m., Ji Xiaoxiao packed her things and went back to her dormitory. She tiptoed around, trying her best not to make a sound and wake up the other people in the dormitory.
As Ji Xiaoxiao brushed her teeth in the bathroom, someone blocked her way when she came out. The person was wearing pink pajamas, her hair was thick and smooth, and her bright eyes were filled with anger and disdain. Ji Xiaoxiao recognized her; it was Wan Feifei, the dorm's leader.
“You can’t possibly beat the class monitor in tomorrow’s exam,” Wan Feifei said.
Ji Xiaoxiao curled her lips, "Of course it's possible, I'm much better than Zhou Tao."
The exam officially began the following day.
