"I'm fucking fucked! I'm fucked!"
During the recess, Li Shuangjiang stood in the aisle holding Jiang Qihuai's desk, his face full of shock and didn't recover after a class: "Do you know how much Li Sijia took the English test every month? Boss? 143, Boss!"
Li Shuangjiang pointed at Fu Xiling: "Have you experienced how good Fu Xiling's English is? She only got 140 last time!"
Fu Xiling felt aggrieved by the side, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean it's only 140, it's pretty good, okay..."
Tao Zhi lay on Jiang Qihuai's table, looking at him with a sleepy expression: "Don't be so excited."
"I'm not excited? I'm fucking - 143! Six points have been deducted for the total composition, and one hearing error!" Li Shuangjiang pointed to Jiang Qihuai who was sitting behind Tao Zhi, and continued, "The one behind you, The one who can do everything in the first and sixth subjects of the grade, English 142! One point less than her! You actually went to make this bet with her?!"
"Then isn't she the best in English?" Tao Zhi said slowly, "Of course I will feel more fulfilled if I win in her best field."
Fu Xiling nodded in agreement, "That's right."
Li Shuangjiang's eyes darkened, and they were almost overwhelmed by the anger of the two of them: "The problem is—"
"The problem is that it's very difficult to improve the score in the higher grades, and it's almost impossible to go from 118 to 140 in one month." Fu Xiling continued.
Li Shuangjiang snapped his fingers beside him.
"However," Fu Xiling continued after thinking for a while, "I don't think it's a good bet. It's best if Zhizhi scores higher than her in the exam. I really didn't cheat this time. Zhizhi didn't lose anything."
Li Shuangjiang raised his head instantly when he heard the words.
His eyes lit up, and his whole body seemed to have returned to the world: "So it's the fucking truth?"
"That's not the reason." Tao Zhi raised his head and said.
Li Shuangjiang and Fu Xiling turned their heads and looked at her suspiciously.
"This person has a lot of face," Ji Fan, who woke up and missed the big show, yawned and translated for her, "Since she said that she will pass the exam for this Li They would not consider the second method to take advantage of this loophole.”
Tao Zhi looked at Li Shuangjiang, and snapped his fingers in approval just like he did just now.
Li Shuangjiang looked at her dumbfounded: "So..."
"So," Jiang Qihuai finished the last big question of the math paper, folded the paper and put it aside, put down the pen, and leaned back, "you should hurry up and look at your scrappy paper, think about it. How to raise the twenty points within a month."
Tao Zhi: "..."
Tao Zhi lay back again, growing on Jiang Qihuai's table like a boneless one, returning to the dead fish look just now.
She hadn't studied English seriously in a few years, and she suddenly got such a high score in the test, and she began to wonder: "Your Highness, am I pretending to be big this time?"
Jiang Qihuai laughed: "I think it's cool when you say it."
Tao Zhi thought for a while, then nodded: "It's very cool, if I do it again, I guess I will choose to finish it first."
"That's the end of it," Jiang Qihuai leaned back on the chair and said calmly, "Just take the exam."
The tone is so natural that it seems to be saying: No, it’s just a Tsinghua University, and it’s over.
Li Shuangjiang: "..."
Li Shuangjiang didn't know whether he was crazy or the world was crazy.
The school can't always hide its secrets. After two classes, the whole class, including the whole teacher team, knew that the second-to-last class in class one made a bet with the first-grade English subject, and threatened to make a bet in the next class. I got 140 in the monthly exam.
Most of them are waiting to see the joke.
The third class in the afternoon was English. The English teacher Jiang Qianyi paid special attention to Tao Zhi. She got up to read the text a few times in a class.
Jiang Qianyi has taught English for ten years, and she is also a very experienced special-grade teacher. Almost as long as a student stands up and says a few words, she can roughly tell what level the student is.
She hadn't paid attention to Tao Zhi before, and she only chatted a few words with Wang Juezi and his teacher.
But when she screamed, Jiang Qianyi was a little surprised.
Although some words are still difficult to read, the British pronunciation is very standard and smooth. The school textbooks teach American pronunciation, and most high school students are exposed to American pronunciation. Jiang Qianyi rarely hears students like to say British.
But thinking of her monthly English exam papers, Jiang Qian shook her head.
The distance from Li Sijia is not even the slightest bit.
After the English get out of class, Song Jiang went straight to class one. He rushed into the back door in a hurry and landed in front of Tao Zhi.
Before Tao Zhi’s English book was closed, Song Jiang slapped her on the table: “I heard that you made a bet with the No. 1 English class in your class. If you said she failed the English test, you would kneel at the door of the broadcasting room and slap yourself ten times?”
Tao Zhi: "..."
Tao Zhi didn't know why he went to the broadcasting room to apologize, but somehow it was rumored that he went to the broadcasting room door to slap himself.
She corrected him blankly: "It's not the number one in our class, it's the number one in grade."
"Fuck," Song Jiang said a dirty word, "Then do you really know what's going on in your heart?"
"No." Tao Zhi said honestly.
"Fuck me hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha," Song Jiang burst into a burst of inhuman laughter, "Then you are fucking awesome, big brother."
He and Tao Zhi grew up together, and he was probably the only person in the school other than Ji Fan who knew that Tao Zhi was also a bully in elementary school. Song Jiang said very sympathetically: "It's okay, isn't it just English? When Huihui was copied and used as an example essay for the whole school, the number one in the grade didn’t know where to play with mud, you’re afraid of a few times, and you’re done with her.”
After a pause, Song Jiang added: "Although you can get fifty points in the test now."
"..."
Tao Zhi rolled his eyes and pointed at him: "Timely rain, before I run out of patience, I hope you will disappear by yourself, otherwise I will put your head in your stomach."
Song Jiang saluted her and quickly rolled away.
Tao Zhi pushed away the books and notebooks in his hand, stretched his arms forward, slumped on the table, and let out a long sigh.
This bet she made on the spur of the moment seemed to be settled just like that.
After Tao Zhi pretended to be cool, he finally started to feel melancholy belatedly.
She regretted it a little.
Her English is indeed her best subject.
It is the most beautiful and perfect score she can get on the report card of all kinds of competitions in the school and in the city, all the exams, big and small.
But that was in the past.
Tao Zhi clearly understands that time will not give special treatment to anyone, it will give you as much reward as it sees how much effort you put in.
And during the three years she wasted, time would not return to her the reward she had abandoned.
Tao Zhi entered a brand new state, almost insane.
Early in the morning, Ji Fan hummed a song after washing his teeth, brushed his teeth, and went downstairs to have breakfast and go to school. As soon as the bedroom door opened, he heard Zhenggong playing English listening on the first floor.
A beautiful and formulaic female voice came from the restaurant: "Please choose the most appropriate answer based on the conversations and questions you heard... listen to the dialogue..."
Ji Fan: "..."
Ji Fan grabbed her hair and went downstairs, and saw Tao Zhi sitting at the dining table, with a test paper spread out in front of her, she was biting a piece of bread while holding a pen, ticking off options on it.
Aunt Zhang stood aside, saw him coming down, and made a gesture.
Ji Fan walked down.
Aunt Zhang walked up to him and said in a low voice, "Are you up? Do you want milk or porridge today? I made a portion of both."
Ji Fan also whispered, "Congee with preserved egg and lean meat?"
"Hey," Aunt Zhang leaned into his ear, "Do you want pickles?"
"Okay, I still want to eat pickles this morning," Ji Fan continued in a low voice, "Why are you talking so quietly?"
"It's not because I'm afraid of disturbing Zhi Zhi's study," Aunt Zhang was about to get into his ears, "It's the first time I've seen her work so hard."
Ji Fan thought to himself, it's also the first time for me to see you.
In the past, when she took the first place in the exam every day, I never saw her doing listening comprehension while having breakfast.
Ji Fan walked to the dining table, and deliberately pushed back the chair loudly.
The legs of the chair scratched the marble floor with a "squeak", Tao Zhi seemed not to hear it, and did not respond, staring down at the questions on the paper.
Ji Fan leaned his head over: "Aren't you, are you still short?"
"Shut up." Tao Zhi said without raising his head.
Ji Fan shut up, took the porridge brought by Aunt Zhang, and ate quietly.
He ate half of his breakfast accompanied by the woman's babbling, and Tao Zhi finally finished a set of hearing tests. She turned off her listening, folded up the papers and stuffed them into her schoolbag, finally raised her head, and took a first look at him.
Tao Zhi looked surprised: "Why are you eating so slowly today?"
"I don't have an appetite," Ji Fan pointed at her mobile phone, "This girl is making me feel sleepy now."
"The hearing effect is best in the morning." Tao Zhi stood up, walked into the living room, grabbed his school uniform jacket and put it on, "Come on, don't eat it, eat pickled cucumbers every morning, and you won't get tired of eating them."
Ji Fan finished the porridge in the bowl in twos and twos, trotted over to follow her and put on her shoes.
When he got into the car, Tao Zhi was already sitting in the back seat and took out his English book, reciting words.
Ji Fan: "..."
Ji Fan did not expect that this incredible morning was just the beginning.
After arriving at school, Tao Zhi was doing English papers early in his self-study.
The physics class is memorizing English texts.
Mathematics class is writing an English composition.
In Chinese class, Tao Zhi did reading comprehension without raising his head. Fu Xiling finally couldn't stand it any longer, so he leaned over and called her in a low voice: "Zhizhi, why don't you rest for a while."
Tao Zhi didn't hear it, and quickly picked out the key words that appeared in the question stem in the article, and drew a horizontal line below.
Fu Xiling raised his hand, stretched out an index finger, and lightly poked her arm.
Tao Zhi turned his head, a little dazed: "Huh?"
Fu Xiling: "Take a break, you've been reading letters all morning, don't you feel dizzy?"
Tao Zhi blinked his sour eyes: "It's okay."
Fu Xiling propped her head up: "Actually, you don't need to be so stressed. Li Sijia did the best in the exam last time. It's probably because the composition is more accurate. Her English should be about the same as mine."
Tao Zhi nodded, and then continued to lower his eyes to do the question: "That's a lot different from me."
Fu Xiling was stunned.
She hasn't known Tao Zhi for a long time, but she has seen her many times, and it's the first time she knows that she has such a serious personality because of this kind of thing.
Fu Xiling didn't say anything else, but silently took out her English notes and key word book and put them on her desk.
Tao Zhi's state lasted for several days.
During the period, she borrowed Fu Xiling's English notebooks, asked for Li Shuangjiang's phrase book, and tricked Jiang Zhengxun into getting Jiang Zhengxun's collection of perfect composition model essays.
For the past few days, Ji Fan got up every day with the female voice of the broadcasting voice reading English aloud. His whole body has gradually become numb from surprise to collapse, and he was horrified to find that Tao Zhi not only showed no signs of getting tired, but even became more and more courageous every day. The words are memorized with gusto.
In the third class that afternoon, Wang Juezi mercifully gave them a sports session. The boys cheered and rushed out of the classroom with the ball in their arms.
In less than ten minutes, all the people in the classroom left, leaving only a few people who usually like to grow on the chairs and sit on the seats to do their own things.
Tao Zhi left the teaching building and went to the canteen to buy a bottle of juice and some snacks. When he went upstairs, he saw Li Sijia enter Wang Juezi's office.
The office door was not closed, and when she passed by, she vaguely heard Wang Jizi's voice: "I also contacted the Academic Affairs Office to adjust the surveillance video of the last examination room at that time. Tao Zhi did not have any violations of discipline and cheating at that time. Her score… "
Tao Zhi didn't stop walking, and glanced inside.
Li Sijia turned her back to her, lowered her head, unable to see what expression she had.
She didn't care.
Even if Concubine Li Shu knew that she hadn't cheated, she had already made a bet, and if she said it, the water that was spilled would not count if she didn't cheat.
How Concubine Li Shu felt, Tao Zhi didn't care from the beginning, no matter what others think, her behavior will not change in any way.
She entered the classroom and closed the door, the other two people in the class had already left, Jiang Qihuai was sitting in Ji Fan's position with his back against the wall, reading a book.
Tao Zhi was a little surprised: "Why didn't you go out to play with them?"
Jiang Qihuai didn't raise his head: "I don't want to move."
Tao Zhi nodded, returned to his seat, unscrewed the lid of the juice and drank a couple of sips, then turned out the unfinished set of English papers.
She has just finished reading comprehension, and it's her turn to write essays.
Tao Zhi took out his phone, turned on the alarm clock app, set a time, and started writing.
She is very clear about her strengths and weaknesses in her mind. Apart from vocabulary, reading mainly depends on skills. She has a good sense of language, because she likes to watch British and American dramas and movies, and her listening is not bad. Movies are still very different, but they can be improved very quickly.
But she hasn't memorized vocabulary well for several years, and her vocabulary accumulation is still at the junior high school stage, and she is not good at large and small compositions.
In the past few days, she has also read a lot of composition collections, and the one she spends the most time on every day is the big and small compositions. After finishing writing, she asks Fu Xiling to help her revise them. But at the moment Fu Xiling is not here.
She finished writing the last big composition, and the timer on the phone had less than two minutes left.
Tao Zhi put down his pen, shook the paper in his hand, and reread what he had just written from the beginning.
The setting sun was low, the clouds were thick and gorgeous, and the burning clouds dyed half of the blue sky red. In the quiet and empty classroom, there was a slight sound of pages being turned behind her.
Tao Zhi paused with his fingers holding the paper, hesitated for a moment, and turned his head away.
Jiang Qihuai lowered his eyes to read the book, his expression was focused and serious, his eyelashes were softly pressed down, dyed a gentle golden brown by the setting sun.
Tao Zhi lifted up the paper in his hand, covering half of his face, only showing a pair of eyes, turned around to look at him, and then cleared his throat deliberately.
Jiang Qihuai raised his head and looked at her lightly.
The girl's black eyes exposed outside the paper blinked at him twice: "Your Highness, are you busy?"
Jiang Qihuai raised his eyebrows.
"If you're not busy, read the composition?" She said flatteringly, "please."
Jiang Qihuai put the book in his hand on the table: "Remember me?"
Tao Zhi was a little confused.
Jiang Qihuai straightened up lazily, with a low tone: "You are looking for Jiang Zhengxun, looking for Li Shuangjiang, why don't you think of me when you are living with Fu Xiling 24 hours a day?"
Jiang Qihuai leaned forward, leaned against the edge of the table and looked at her closely: "I beg you, is it so difficult?"
