After eating ice cream, Sue went to play free fall again.
This time, Han Lu had no chance to fight to the death, so he left the brother and sister behind and went to shoot air rifles alone. Fortunately, his hit rate was good, and he finally restored a little of his self-esteem as a man.
Soon it was lunch time, and they met at the agreed location and chose a restaurant.
Su Yi has been having dinner with a group of people recently, and she has found that different groups of people talk about very different things at the dinner table.
For example, Liang Hang and others often talk about ball games and the like; the girls in the class know all the shops and shopping malls in the city very well, and sometimes like to gossip; and Xiao Yan's classmates, soon after sitting down, started talking about the majors they want to choose in the future, the schools they hope to get into, etc.
Although they are only in the second year of high school, for these top students, the future is something that needs to be planned early, especially when they do not have a wealthy family to support them.
Sue was concentrating on a turkey leg when someone asked her, "What about you, Sue? What do you want to do in the future?"
Su Yi thought about it seriously, and asked with gestures: "Is there any job that allows me to travel around the world?"
"You want to travel around the world?" Han Lu was a little surprised. "That's a pretty ambitious goal, but it's hard for a girl to achieve it alone. Otherwise, you can go sing. Become a singer, hold a concert tour, and travel around."
This may sound a bit ignorant of the suffering of the world. You know, it is not easy for ordinary people to become singers. What's more, to reach the level of being able to hold a concert tour, hard work, talent and opportunity are all necessary. It is not as simple as it sounds.
But Han Lu knew very well that if the Xiao family wanted to package Su Yi, it was just a matter of money. Besides, with Xiao Yan's current degree of sister-con, when he becomes the head of the family in the future, he will definitely be willing to support this sister who has no blood relationship with him.
She wants to travel around the world, so just spend some money to build a team to accompany her.
"Sing?" Su Yi frowned, "I can't sing, and I don't really like singing."
"I know, you just like to eat and play." Han Lu complained.
Su Yi did not refute. After all, what he said was true. She turned to look at Xiao Yan, wanting to see if he had any good suggestions.
Xiao Yan said: "You can consider a photographer."
"Photographer?"
"I think this is a good idea," Guo Yanyan said with a smile, "You can go around the world to find beautiful scenery, take photos of them, and send them to some famous magazines, media websites, or post them on social networks. If they like them, they will buy your photos."
Sue nodded and took note of this.
Han Lu said, "Little boy, don't take it too seriously. Freelance photographers often go out alone in the wild, and safety is a big issue."
Safety is indeed a big problem for others, but Su Yi doesn't have to worry at all. However, she still accepted Han Lu's kindness.
They soon started talking about other things. After all, the future was still a bit far away, and no one would think that what they said now would be what they would do in the future.
Su Yi continued to eat, but Xiao Yan seemed to be thinking about something.
The weekend passed quickly and a new week arrived in the blink of an eye.
This Monday was a fruitful day for Sui.
The school held an awards ceremony for the sports meet. She was the runner-up in the shot put and the champion in the 5,000-meter race. She led the girls in her class to win the 4x100-meter championship, and just broke the school record.
With the three bonuses added together, she had money again and dared to go shopping in the shops near the school again.
Considering that Xiao Yan had bought her a lot of snacks recently, after getting the money, she bought a set of metal bookmarks as a gift to him. She also bought a silk scarf for Old Lady Qu, and then bought a bunch of small cakes to share with Zhang Jiajia and other girls. The girls ate all the cakes while shouting that they were too fat.
The monthly exam is coming up in two days. Even for a class like theirs, there is a more study atmosphere than usual. After all, the results will be made public, and it would be embarrassing if they did too badly.
Su Yi asked Zhang Jiajia about the difficulty of the last monthly exam. Overall it was okay, but there were some difficult questions. After all, the elite class also took the same test paper. If the questions were too simple, the scores would not be so different.
But there are also quite a few questions of low difficulty, which require carefulness and most people can pass. Otherwise, it would not be good for non-elite classes to perform poorly on the exam, as the school funding still depends on contributions from these students’ parents.
She went to the display window again and looked at the scores of the top 60 students from the last monthly exam. She decided to take the exam with a score slightly lower than that of the 60th place.
Although she had set a goal for herself before, to get into the top 60 in the school so that she could eat whatever she wanted in the school cafeteria, she gave up the idea after playing with Xiao Yan's classmates last weekend.
She found that most of the students in the elite class were studying hard, and studying was the future path for many of them. In this school, if a student fell out of the top 60 in two consecutive monthly exams, he or she would be transferred to a non-elite class. This would be a big blow to those students, and Su Yi was not going to be the bad guy.
But she couldn't do too badly in the exam. In her previous school, her grades were always in the top ten in her grade. If she failed the exam, her grandmother would definitely be worried. So she didn't plan to focus on the elite class anymore. She wanted to be the first in the non-elite class!
Having made up her mind, she prepared to go home with her schoolbag on her back. When she turned around, she saw Zhang Na standing not far away with a stiff face. She didn't know how long she had been standing there.
Su Yi looked around and found that there was no one else. She was sure that she was the one she was looking for, so she walked over.
"You looking for me?"
Zhang Na said in a stiff tone: "I lost the previous agreement, what are you going to do?"
Su Yi thought about it and seemed to say that if she won, Zhang Na would call her boss.
Although she was a little curious, she was not ready to become a real female leader. If her grandmother knew, she might be asked to cook a meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat. Although she had never tasted that taste, she once lived in a small fishing village. There was a boy next door who liked to hang out with others and was often beaten by his mother. He cried miserably. Su Yi still remembered it clearly and was determined to be a good child who would not be beaten.
She thought about it and asked, "What do you like about Liang Hang?"
"Does it matter?" Zhang Na frowned.
Su Yi said, "Tell me about it." She really didn't know what Zhang Na saw in the other person.
Zhang Na frowned tightly, as if she hadn't expected Su Yi to be so shameless. After a long while, she pouted and said, "He helped me before."
"How long ago?"
“Four or five years ago.”
Su Yi counted on her fingers and realized that he is only in the first year of high school now. Four or five years ago, he was still in elementary school. Just because an elementary school student helped someone, he knew he liked the other person
She is really precocious, no wonder she has developed so well.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" Zhang Na was a little impatient.
"Hmm..." Su Yi thought, "How about you buy me milk tea for a month."
"that's all?"
Su Yi said, "Yes, starting from the end of the monthly exam, a cup of milk tea will be delivered to me in the classroom every day, and it will end in one month."
Zhang Na looked relieved, nodded and left.
Su Yi praised herself for her cleverness. A month's worth of milk tea costs several hundred yuan.
Despite the students' wailing, the monthly exam arrived in the blink of an eye.
All classes had one seat per desk, and there was no need to set up an examination room. The exam was taken in the class. However, in order to prevent cheating, the teacher randomly adjusted everyone's seats, and Su Yi happened to be moved to the very corner.
This place is quiet enough, and no matter how others try to copy answers, pass notes, or send text messages, these small actions cannot disturb her.
She did very well, but in order to control her score, she just wrote down some random answers. After finishing the entire test paper, she calculated it from beginning to end again, and made sure that her score was lower than the 60th place in the previous monthly exam, but only slightly lower, before she handed in the paper with confidence.
After the first day of the exam, on the way back in the car, Xiao Yan asked her how she felt.
Su Yi said: "Not bad."
I wanted to say that I thought I could get 61st, but then I thought better of it. If the results come out and I got 62nd, wouldn’t that be a bit embarrassing
Maotuan asked her in his heart: "Yiyi, do we have such a thing as face?"
In his consciousness, Su Yi pressed it upside down with one finger, and it couldn't get up.
"If you have any questions while reviewing for the subject to be tested tomorrow tonight, you can ask me," Xiao Yan said to her.
Sue rubbed the fur ball and answered, "Okay. How did you do on the test today? Was it difficult?"
Xiao Yan said: "There are no questions beyond the syllabus."
Mao Tuan said in a trembling voice: "Listen, this is the answer of a top student. To a top student, there is no such thing as difficult or not difficult, there is only beyond the syllabus and not beyond the syllabus."
Su Yi touched his chin and also thought that this sentence was good. It sounded much more stylish than "okay", "not too difficult", "a little difficult" and so on.
There was another exam the next day. As soon as the invigilator collected the test papers, the classroom was filled with wailing.
"Oh my God, I'm going to fail the exam this time. Suyi, how do you feel?" Zhang Jiajia said with a sad face.
Sue cleared her throat, "There are no questions beyond the syllabus."
Zhang Jiajia was confused. "Outline? What outline? Do you still remember the exam outline? Who would deliberately remember that? So how did you write it?"
"…" Su Yi said honestly: "It's OK, not too difficult."
"Wow... I feel so difficult. Last time I got a total of 500 points, so I'm thankful that I got 450 this time."
After hearing this, Su Yi was a little worried about her, "Won't your ranking drop a lot?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiajia said, "No, this exam is much harder than the last one. Everyone's scores will be lower, so the rankings should be about the same. I was just a little tired by the difficult questions."
Su Yi opened her eyes wide: "Is this time more difficult than last time?"
"Yes, don't you know? This seems to be the tradition of our school. All exams are difficult once and easy once. The difficult ones give a blow, and the easy ones give people some confidence. Then the next one gives them another blow. I heard from others that it has always been like this."
Miscalculated.
These words flashed through Su Yi's mind. She originally thought that the difficulty of each exam was about the same, so this time's score was based on the last monthly exam. However, according to Zhang Jiajia, this time was much more difficult than the last time. So, with a score of about 60 last time, how would she rank this time
