"Hurry up, hurry up, move the tables and chairs away and put them in place..."
"Everyone remember, everything will be done according to the college entrance examination. You are not allowed to whisper to each other. Hand in all your cell phones..."
The next day, Monday.
Xingcheng No. 3 Middle School was busy early in the morning. Surprisingly, during the morning self-study time, students were not allowed to study, but instead tables and chairs were moved.
Today is the day of another monthly exam. This is probably the last mock monthly exam before the college entrance examination. The real college entrance examination will be in another month.
Because of this, this time the exam was held in a more formal manner, with desks and chairs spaced apart and classes divided, and even subject teachers were staggered to supervise the exams.
Xia Xu and Tang Youxin were lucky enough that the examination room they randomly selected was in their class, which saved them the trouble of running around and looking for seats.
"Xia Xu, remember, you must pass all the exams, otherwise I'll call your parents."
After instructing the students to set up the examination room, Liu Xiulan came over to give some instructions before leaving.
"Of course."
Xia Xu confidently made an 'OK' gesture and said with a smile: "Teacher Liu, to be honest, my previous grades were just to control my scores and keep a low profile. This is the last mock exam before the college entrance examination, and I will definitely show my best. Just wait and see."
He was looking for a reason in advance to improve his performance.
Last time, he had used the super brain potion to memorize all the high school textbooks completely. If he used it to cope with the exam, he would definitely have no problem getting more than 100 points, even if he didn't get a perfect score.
He never thought about hiding his shortcomings. There was no need to do so. There was no need to hide an unremarkable test score. He was also not interested in playing the pig and eating the tiger trick with a group of high school students in school.
Secondly, he also considered that the sudden increase in his academic performance might be a bit abrupt, so he laid the groundwork before the college entrance examination. Through this exam and the following month, he wanted to let people around him accept the fact that he had become a top student.
Even if there is any trouble because of this, it is better to be questioned or controversial in school than to have a similar situation in the college entrance examination.
"Okay, then I'll see how you perform."
Liu Xiulan didn't feel any emotion because of Xia Xu's words. She just thought he was joking, nodded slightly and left.
As the head teacher of Xia Xu's class, it was naturally impossible for her to invigilate her own class. The exam was about to start in a while, so of course she had to go and invigilate.
"Why did Teacher Liu say he wanted to call your parents?"
After Liu Xiulan left, the little white flower who had been paying close attention to Xia Xu came over curiously and asked.
Fortunately, most of the students had already left the classroom to find their own examination rooms. Otherwise, with her introverted and shy personality, she would not have taken the initiative to look for Xia Xu when there were too many people.
"Why else? If the grades are bad and he fails, he will call his parents."
Xia Xu shrugged and spread his hands.
"But you..."
Tang Youxin subconsciously wanted to ask more questions, but then she came to her senses and paused.
"No need to do that, you want to ask me where the parents are from, right?"
Xia Xu touched Little White Flower's head with a smile and said with a sly smile: "Teacher Liu only said to call the parents, but didn't say whose parents to call."
Tang Youxin blushed as she dodged Xia Xu's mischievous hand, but the curious baby couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Can the teacher call other people's parents?"
"Yes, call your parents."
Xia Xu still had a sly smile on his face: "You are the one who caused this. Your grades dropped drastically in the last monthly exam, so Teacher Liu suspected that I had influenced you. If we don't do well in the exam again this time, I will call our parents."
"Ah? Then... what should we do?"
When Tang Youxin heard this, her face suddenly became full of nervousness, and her hands unconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes.
Xia Xu shrugged: "What else can I do? Of course I have to do well in the exam. You have to be more serious this time. If your grades still don't improve, Teacher Liu might really call your parents over."
"But you... you..."
Tang Youxin's face was full of tension and confusion: "What are you going to do? Can you pass the exam?"
Xia Xu's grades have always been at the bottom of the class. As a classmate, there is no need to find out about this specifically.
"I… "
Xia Xu paused slightly.
At this time, people with low emotional intelligence will say: I can easily get full marks now.
And high emotional intelligence...
"Hey, you should know that my grades have always been bad, and I haven't been concentrating on studying for the past two months. I don't care about this, but I didn't expect Teacher Liu to come up with such a dirty trick..."
Xia Xu pretended to sigh.
Hearing this, Little White Flower stammered, "Then... what should we do?"
“I can only try my best.”
Xia Xu looked like he was ready to die for his country: "In order not to embarrass you, I have used the review materials you gave me last time to review and try my best to pass the exam."
"Then... then you must do your best."
Tang Youxin's face turned red because of the "for you".
"Don't worry, I promise you, I will try my best to pass this time."
Xia Xu nodded solemnly, then changed the subject and said, "But you have to work hard on yourself. If your grades are not good, Teacher Liu will definitely call your parents."
"Uh-huh."
The little white chick nodded repeatedly like pecking at rice, its little face full of seriousness and solemnity.
"In fact, I read in a psychology book that a proper reward and punishment mechanism can stimulate people's potential and enable them to enter a 'flow' state of extreme concentration and efficient work and study."
Xia Xu rolled his eyes and said quietly, "How about this, how about we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
Tang Youxin asked doubtfully.
"If I pass, you kiss me. If you fail, I'll spank you."
Xia Xu leaned close to her ear with a wicked smile and whispered.
"no."
The little white flower's face was red. Everything had its limits. She was extremely shy, and reason instantly took over again.
"That can't be helped. Do your parents have anything they like?"
Xia Xu lamented.
"ah?"
Tang Youxin didn't keep up with Xia Xu's jumping thoughts.
"You will most likely fail this time. I can only go to your house to give you a heads-up before Teacher Liu calls the parents and bring some gifts."
Xia Xu said with a gloomy face: "Otherwise, when your parents come to school, Teacher Liu will say something like I'm in a premature relationship and it affects your studies. I think your father will beat me to death."
"I... I promise you."
Tang Youxin lowered her head to look at her toes. The redness on her little face had moved from her cheeks to her ears at some point. Her voice became weaker and weaker, and the last few words just sounded like vague sobs.
"Ah? What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Xia Xu laughed and pretended not to hear clearly.
"It's okay if you didn't hear it clearly."
The little white flower blushed and ran back to her examination seat.
