Chapter 34
When the first class bell rang, Ji Rang slowly stood up and walked towards the bulletin board.
Qu Dazhuang and a few others ran ahead of him, laughing excitedly all the way. When they ran to the report card, they started looking at the last person as usual.
Their names are not among the bottom ten.
Qu Dazhuang was so excited: "Oh my God, I won't be in the top ten in the grade?!"
Liu Haiyang kicked him: "Dream on, what about this!"
There are more than 600 students in the second grade of high school, and several of them are ranked around 550. Although they are still at the bottom, for this group of teenagers who have always been at the bottom, this improvement is huge.
Several people were so excited that Qu Dazhuang kept shouting, "Where's Brother Rang? Why can't I see Brother Rang?"
Keep looking forward.
When Ji Rang walked to the bulletin board, they still hadn't found it. Because when they saw the first 350 names, Qu Dazhuang said resolutely: "Impossible, they must have discarded it, and searched again!"
Ji Rang slapped him on the back of the head: "Get out of the way!"
He walked in and looked from the beginning, where he saw Qi Ying's name, ranked fourteenth.
She has improved again.
I continued to look forward from the 350th place, and after a few lines, I saw my name.
Three hundred and twenty-three, Ji Rang.
Ji Rang stared at the name for a while, stretched out his hand, and measured the distance between the two names with two fingers. It was much closer than last time.
He laughed silently.
The group of people behind him looked at the ranking in silence.
After a long while, Qu Dazhuang's excited voice trembled from his throat: "Brother Rang, I kneel down for you. I am convinced, very convinced."
What is a big boss? This is a big boss.
As long as he wants, he can even study!
Ji Rang felt that he had just achieved a good result and couldn't be proud in front of his fellow disciples. He deliberately kept a straight face and said nonchalantly, "More than 300, not bad."
Liu Haiyang exclaimed: "I knew Rang Ge could do it! Can most people play the Rubik's Cube with one hand? No! But Rang Ge can! Rang Ge is awesome!"
Ji Rang finally couldn't hold back his laughter and kicked them: "Get lost and go back to class."
The group walked towards the classroom, chatting and laughing. As soon as they entered through the back door, the head teacher Liu Yao stood on the podium and scolded them: "You are still hanging around outside after the bell has rung for so long. You might as well not come in!"
Qu Dazhuang's grades improved, and he felt more confident. He said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, let's go check the grades."
Liu Yao glared at them for a few seconds and said nothing more: "Hurry up and sit down! Class is about to start!"
For the whole class, several people were immersed in the excitement of improving their rankings. Suddenly, I felt that learning progress was really a sense of accomplishment. Seeing my scores improve little by little and my ranking rise little by little, I felt proud and satisfied.
That’s a sense of pride that even completing a game can’t give you!
From now on, you can’t let your brother force you to study anymore. You have to be more self-disciplined!
After class, Liu Yao put away his teaching plan but did not leave immediately. He walked to the back row, looked at Ji Rang who was flipping through his tutorial book, knocked on his desk, and said in a deep voice, "Come with me to my office."
Ji Rang closed the book, stood up lazily and followed him.
Qu Dazhuang excitedly asked Liu Haiyang: "Is Mr. Liu going to give a separate award to Brother Rang?!"
Liu Haiyang recalled Liu Yao's expression just now, frowned and shook his head.
Several teachers were in the office. When they saw Ji Rang coming in, they all looked at him. Liu Yao sat down at his desk and flipped through the newly published grade rankings.
Ji Rang saw that all his six test papers were here.
His nonchalant expression cooled.
Liu Yao flipped through his test paper and paused before saying, "You have made great progress this time. I looked at your papers in various subjects and the completion rate is also very high. Both your grades and attitude make me very happy."
Ji Rang stared at him and asked coldly, "Do you suspect I cheated?"
Liu Yao smiled and said, "I have taught you for almost two years. I know very well what kind of student you are." He paused and looked up at Ji Rang. "It's just that the teachers in other classes do have this suspicion. We discussed this issue yesterday."
He didn't tell Ji Rang that he had a big fight with other teachers yesterday.
The last-placed examinee couldn't get Ji Rang's score even if they copied and pasted. From cheating to missing questions, the teachers gave countless reasons. Liu Yao waited until they finished speaking before asking coldly, "Couldn't he have done it by himself through his own learning progress?"
He showed them Ji Rang's attendance records in recent times.
Since he signed up for the three minor subjects, he has been absent or late no more than three times. According to the class records of the teachers of those three subjects, Ji Rang's class performance is also good.
Not only him, but also the group of bad boys who hung out with him had behaved themselves better. Not only did the number of times they skipped classes drop sharply, but their grades also improved accordingly.
The transformation of this group of poor students made him happy and proud. Faced with doubts from other teachers who were unaware of the truth, Liu Yao put all his trust in protecting them.
But what finally calmed down these teachers was the top student in the grade.
This time, each class selected the top students to help with the grading, including Wu Rui. After the results were released, these students who helped with the grading were also the first to know the school rankings.
Wu Rui immediately looked up Ji Rang's ranking to ensure his own safety. Seeing that he was ranked over 300, he no longer had to worry about getting beaten.
When several teachers were arguing about whether Ji Rangzuo cheated, Wu Rui happened to come to the office to put something away. When he heard what they were arguing about, he immediately said anxiously: "I can prove that Ji didn't cheat!"
He told Ji Rang about asking him for tutoring, and said seriously: "Student Ji is working hard to change, and he is very serious during tutoring! As a teacher, you should not casually question a person's present because of his past. He is a very good student!"
The office fell silent.
Liu Yao's eyes were filled with tears.
It is easy to teach a good student, but it is very difficult to reform a bad student.
He looked at the young man in front of him, feeling deeply moved, and said in a deep voice: "I called you over here to ask you, what are your plans?"
Is it a spur-of-the-moment playfulness or an unyielding persistence?
After a long while, I heard Ji Rang say, "I want to go to college."
Liu Yao held his hand and sighed three times: "Good! Good! Good! As long as you have this determination, the teacher will definitely send you to university!"
He took out a notebook from the drawer and handed it to him: "Although you have Wu Rui tutoring you, he has his own studies after all, and the pressure from all aspects will increase after you enter the third year of high school. You can't bother him anymore. Here are the tutors I selected for you in various subjects. They all have students from Tsinghua University and Peking University."
Ji Rang took the notebook, pursed his lips, and whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."
Liu Yao smiled. After more than 20 years of teaching, nothing makes him happier than seeing a bad student reform himself. He stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Study hard, the teacher believes in you."
Back in the classroom, Liu Haiyang quickly came over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Rang, does Lao Liu suspect that you cheated?"
Ji Rang raised the notebook in his hand: "No, he rewarded me with a notebook."
Qu Dazhuang shouted from the side: "I knew it! There must be individual prizes! But the prizes are too random, Lao Liu is really stingy!"
A group of people were talking and laughing when the fast-footed Luo Bing rushed in from the back door of the classroom and started shouting from a distance: "Brother Rang! Big news! Big news!"
Qu Dazhuang scolded him: "If you don't become a paparazzi in the future, you will be wasting your three years of hard work in high school."
Luo Bing glared at him, then rushed to Ji Rang and shouted like a machine gun: "Brother Rang! Your little fairy got into a fight with someone!"
For a moment, Ji Rang thought he had heard wrongly, and asked blankly, "What?"
"Qi Ying got into a fight! At the end of the first period, when checking the grades, she got into a fight with a group of people. Damn, she was so fierce. Then the teacher took her to the office and gave her a lecture!"
The smile on Ji Rang's face faded away, leaving only a cold and irritable expression: "Find the person out."
He turned and walked out, going straight to Class 2.
There was a twenty-minute break between the second class. Qi Ying was not in the classroom. She went to the canteen with Yue Li to buy drinks.
Ji Rang stood at the door and looked around, seeing no one, so he turned around and went downstairs.
When I walked outside the teaching building, I saw Qi Ying and Yue Li sitting by the flower bed not far away, biting into popsicles.
It was already autumn, and it was a bit cold to eat popsicles in this season. The two of them were shivering with cold, but they still ate happily. It seemed that they were not injured.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked over.
When Yue Li saw him, her eyes were filled with gossip and she stood up quickly, "Are you looking for Yingying?"
Ji Rang nodded.
Yue Li patted her butt and said, "Then I'll be leaving first!"
She waved to Qi Ying, turned and ran away.
Qi Ying sat on the white tiles of the flower bed, holding a half-eaten popsicle that was still steaming from the cold in her hand, and smiled at him with her head tilted.
The violent emotions that had just surged in Ji Rang's mind disappeared without a trace in an instant. Somewhere in his heart suddenly became extremely soft.
He sat down beside her.
The wind blew over overhead and the clouds dispersed, allowing a thin layer of sunlight to shine through the hazy autumn day.
Her lips were frozen red by the popsicle, like ripe cherries.
He looked at her for a long time and couldn't help laughing. He reached out to rub her head and asked in a low voice: "Little fool, you even learned how to fight. Who did you learn from?"
She finally heard his voice.
It was different from the voice in my memory, which was hoarse and deep due to years of military training.
There is a touch of youthful clarity and gentleness.
But it's the same.
It was the same tone of voice, even the tone of voice.
Qi Ying pursed her lips and smiled.
Ji Rang poked her soft face with his finger: "Still smiling. How could you learn these bad things from me? Why don't you learn the good things from me?"
After saying this, I even laughed.
There is no good thing about him that the little girl can learn. He is full of problems. He is a bad influence.
He chuckled softly and sighed as if he was thankful: "Fortunately you can't speak yet, otherwise it would be embarrassing if you learned to swear from me."
