Xi Shaoyuan held the phone that he had hung up in a daze, and the words of explanation were stuck in his throat before he could speak them out.
He tentatively dialed back Zhou Xiu's phone, but immediately hung up after two beeps. Zhou Xiu... didn't block him.
Xi Shaoyuan raised his brows slightly, and the tear moles at the corners of his eyes flickered slightly. But not long after he was happy, the corners of his mouth were flattened again.
Zhou Xiu refused Susan's counseling and did not need his help.
Indoors, Susan was packing her things with a sad face, and the high-paying job with a monthly salary of 120,000 yuan for two hours a day was ruined. She still has to find a way to apologize to her employer.
These high-achieving students are really hard to fool, a little carelessness can make the other party feel that something is wrong. Do smart people have two heads? She probably didn't expect Zhou Xiu to check her account registration time.
Even so, Susan still sent the test preparation materials and audios she had prepared to Zhou Xiu, and wrote the last message, "Xiu Xiu, I wish you success!"
Leaving aside the high-paying job, Zhou Xiu is indeed the most worry-free and intelligent student she has ever met. The teacher can't help but feel more pity when he meets this kind of student.
In the evening Zhou Xiu replied, "Thank you, Teacher Susan."
Gu Mingxi sent a message on QQ asking if Zhou Xiu was free. Zhou Xiu just replied with a "?", and the other party's video invitation jumped out.
Zhou Xiu stared at Gu Mingxi's video invitation, feeling a little puzzled. She swiped her hand and hung up. She typed a line and asked, "Sorry for slipping, what's the matter?"
It was probably the first time that Gu Mingxi was rejected by someone for a video invitation. After a heart attack, he replied with a smiling face, "I want to practice oral English with you for half an hour."
Zhou Xiu said: "Thank you, but there is no need. I plan to practice oral English with my classmates tomorrow."
During the day, Zhou Xiu wrote a few IELTS papers. Thanks to Yude's usual weekly and monthly tests, her reading, writing and listening problems are not serious. But spoken language is really bothering. She has to pass the oral test this month.
Zhou Xiu logged on to the official website to register and found a good news and a bad news. The good news is that there are two exams per month, but the registration fee is 2170 yuan. Zhou Xiu carefully chose a time near the end of the month.
Had to go through it once.
The next day, Yude Middle School.
Zhou Xiu came to the classroom and carefully consulted the students about the IELTS test. Many students in the class have passed the IELTS test. After asking, she found out that Du Feiyang scored 8.5.
Gu Mingxi scored 9 points in the test. Taking him as a reference, Du Feiyang's score of 8.5 is very good. Zhou Xiu immediately respected him.
For the first time, Lan Xin saw Xue Shen Ting's stunned expression, and couldn't help laughing.
She explained: "Du Feiyang is incomparable. He likes to travel around very much. It will be very uncomfortable if he doesn't speak the language. He is not the tallest. I know that there are three classmates with perfect marks."
Zhou Xiu's heart was shaken. It turns out that for some students, the full score is the test they want to take
Yu Qingyan laughed and said: "I only saw these two or three in my life. It's not so easy to get full marks. I also know these two people, Xiuxiu. Well, I heard that Gu Mingxi got full marks. The other is Yuan Shao. .”
Lan Xin said: "I don't know about Gu Mingxi's situation, but Xi Shaoyuan's second mother tongue is English, and he took the exam organized by the school when he was bored. Xiuxiu wants to take the IELTS?"
The students listened for a long time, and suddenly they had the expression of "blind students, you have discovered Huadian".
IELTS TOEFL is reserved for those who are preparing to study abroad! Isn't Xiushen taking the college entrance examination? Surprise appeared on everyone's faces, and they looked at Zhou Xiu in unison.
Although Zhou Xiu was encouraged by the system and Gu Mingxi to apply for Harvard, she herself didn't think there was any hope of success.
Zhou Xiu said conservatively: "Take a look at the results, it may be used in the future."
The students let out an "oh" in disappointment. It turned out that they didn't want to apply for studying abroad. Xu Qing said with a smile: "IELTS is not easy, Xiuxiu has to work hard."
He said casually, "Xiuxiu, tell me in English how to write the last question of your math test paper."
The adolescent male voice has a grainy feeling, pure and mellow and mixed with a smile, which makes it tickle in people's ears. Du Feiyang, the straight steel man who claimed to be upright, trembled unbearably, and looked at Xu Qing exaggeratedly.
Just as Tan Ming came to the classroom to put down his schoolbag, he said contemptuously, "Representative of the math class... your last question is obviously finished, don't waste Xiuxiu's time, okay?"
He turned his head to face Zhou Xiu, showing his white teeth, "Xiu Xiu, you need to integrate into the context when practicing speaking. From today on, we will cooperate with you in speaking English. Let me know if you don't know something, and I will translate it for you. By the way, I will IELTS 8.5 points."
The students around couldn't help but hold their foreheads. They couldn't bear to see such a scene, which made their eyes a little hot. Ever since Senior Ming blew himself up last time, he found that Zhou Xiu didn't respond, so he seems to have no scruples now
The squad leader's temper is so good that there is nothing to say, if it were someone else with a bad temper, he would probably be beaten to death.
Zhou Xiu didn't care about Tan Ming's words, but took out the test paper and began to stumble on the last question. Although Xu Qing finished writing this question, many students did not.
In the past, when Xiushen gave lectures to his classmates, his thoughts were so fast that it made the scumbags want to die. Now she is not very fluent in spoken five cents, and repeats it several times. They had more time to think and react, and they actually heard better. This kind of Zhou Xiu seems more cordial and down-to-earth.
As long as the embarrassing person is a god of learning, the scumbags will not feel embarrassed.
Tidbits rubbed Zhou Xiu's face, "You are such a treasure, Xiuxiu will give me lectures like this in the future, hahaha."
Miss Li was a little surprised when she heard that Zhou Xiu had signed up for the IELTS test. The national competition of the mathematics league is at the end of November, and the joint entrance examination of the nine schools in the province is not far away.
But she changed her mind and thought that top students are like this, they like to do nothing. Does Zhou Xiu still need to worry
Her shortcoming is English, she is willing to study English hard, Miss Li is really happy. It's just that this little secret has to be guarded against spreading to the ears of Lao Wang of the rocket class, otherwise his blood vessels may burst if they cannot be suppressed.
…
After school, Zhou Xiu watched English videos on the Tidbits tablet. Tidbits just played with her mobile phone. She glanced at Zhou Xiu's QQ, and found that she had a new friend application on her private QQ, and the other party noted Jiang Dongxue.
The QQ that Zhou Xiu used before had 999+ strangers adding it every day. She applied for a QQ account, and only her close friends knew about it. Who is this □□x
Tidbits didn't have the slightest impression of her, and habitually pressed and ignored her. After pressing it, the other party applied again. This time, the other party noted: Jiang Dongxue, sister Jiang Jiajun.
Trivia finally has an impression, Jiang Jiajun is a contestant in R, his sister... isn't this the girl who robbed them of a hotel in City B? Do you still want to add Xiuxiu to this kind of plastic friendship
Dreaming, beautiful women also have a temper. Tidbits simply rejected it, and played the 1024 game on Zhou Xiu's phone refreshedly.
City B.
Jiang Dongxue looked at the phone in front of her in astonishment. She didn't expect Zhou Xiu to reject her friend request. This is the first time in her life that she was rejected for adding someone else as a friend!
Jiang Dongxue knew that her younger brother went to City C to find Zhou Xiu, but she didn't expect him to ask Gu Mingxi for help for Zhou Xiu, begging him to set up a bridge for Zhou Xiu to apply for Harvard.
Harvard's acceptance rate is extremely low, even students with perfect SAT scores may not be admitted. Gu Mingxi's parents are honorary alumni of Harvard, and a relative teaches there. Students recommended by them have a high probability of being admitted.
Jiang Dongxue has known Gu Mingxi for more than ten years, but he hasn't introduced her, so why can Zhou Xiu? Jiang Dongxue intends to let Zhou Xiu know how much favor Jiang Jiajun has spent in helping her apply.
Jiang Dongxue's impression of Zhou Xiu was still that of an ordinary family, so she googled Zhou Xiu's information.
Unexpectedly, when I pressed the Enter key, Zhou Xiu's information had dozens of pages of eloquence. Zhou Xiu's information should not be too much. She has participated in intellectual variety shows, appeared on the big screen, and performed exceptionally well on the court. With her simple elegance, purity and agility, she was once rated as the Goddess of Xueba by netizens.
If it wasn't for Xi Shaoyuan and Tidbits spending money to withdraw a few hot searches, I'm afraid they would have become Internet celebrities.
Jiang Dongxue's gaze paused. Zhou Xiu won the National Biology Competition, ranked first in the National Prize, and also won the provincial first prize in the Mathematical League. Pretty girls are generally not very good at studying, but she is really capable
Jiang Dongxue instantly understood why Gu Mingxi wanted to help Zhou Xiu. He is an intellectual and sexual person, and he likes girls with high IQs. But none of the girls around Gu Mingxi is smarter than him. He has seen everyone very proud since he was a child, except for the girl from the same team who participated in the IMO with him last year.
Distraught, she dropped the phone.
The phone landed on the floor and made a sound. Jiang Dongxue's uncle walked in and asked with concern, "What's going on?"
Jiang Dongxue's uncle was called Shu Yang. Shu Yang picked up the phone and glanced at it casually. The screen of the phone happened to show a photo of Zhou Xiu's speech, and his calm eyes suddenly froze. Then he clicked on the picture on his phone and zoomed in to see it.
Shu Yang's pupils narrowed slightly, "Is this the girl Jiajun wants to help? She is excellent and she is also pretty."
…
After school.
Zhou Xiu used up Tiktok's tablet and returned it to Tiktok. Tidbits handed Xu Qing casually, "Squad leader, by the way, help me make a copy of the review materials for the college entrance examination."
"By the way, Xiuxiu, the girl who robbed us of a room in City B added you last time, but I rejected it for you."
Zhou Xiu didn't lift her head and said, "Well, it's okay."
She didn't have a very specific impression of this person, her only impression was that she might be Jiang Jiajun's sister.
Xu Qing readily agreed to Momo's request, and he copied a file from his computer and sent it to Momo via Bluetooth. When Xu Qing was looking for the storage folder, she found the file "xiuxiu".
With this name, it looks more likeable than other folders.
Xu Qing's mouse subconsciously clicked into this file. The moment he clicked in, he reflected and spurned himself, but thought that it should contain Zhou Xiu's saved learning videos.
Surprisingly, I didn't expect it to be a file containing learning materials! It's the file used by Tidbits to save Zhou Xiu's photos!
At this moment Xu Qing was stunned unexpectedly and coughed violently. In the file, there are some behind-the-scenes photos of Zhou Xiu in the classroom, including the swimsuit photo that Yu Qingyan mistakenly sent to Xu Qing last time.
"No, monitor, can you choke on drinking water? What a man! Are you still playing basketball tonight? Come on, everyone is waiting for you." Du Feiyang shouted loudly while holding the basketball.
Xu Qing closed the computer and said with a smile after a long time, "Well, I'll come."
