Yu Xiao scored 822 points in this exam, ranking 23rd in the class. After learning about Yu Xiao's results, Cheng Ran felt that he had played a role in promoting her. In the past, both of them were not very smart. They just listened in class and didn't study the exercises after class. They just muddled through the day. They never thought about the future of their lives every day. They just played in the present, and the results were terrible.
But after Cheng Ran's earth-shaking change, Yu Xiao seemed to realize something. He never thought he was inferior to Cheng Ran. This was a deep-rooted impression and concept. So after Cheng Ran's unreasonable success, Yu Xiao's unwillingness in his heart still supported him to study hard in high school.
Yu Xiao would also concentrate on doing exercises and reading books at night, and would also take a look at Cheng Ran's homework book when he returned to the classroom during physical education class. When he saw the sharp solutions on it, he gritted his teeth and went back to continue working on the difficult problems he was facing.
Facts have proved that the power of role models and competition can bring about miracles. Yu Xiao's test scores have surpassed Yao Beibei's. Liu Ying scored 864, ranking 18th. Yu Xiao, who could never even dream of being her equal, is only five places behind her. It seems that if she reaches out, she will be able to touch Liu Ying.
Yu Xiao was very satisfied with his results in front of Cheng Ran. When he talked about his parents, their eyes became red when they heard about the results.
Yu Xiao paid a school selection fee to enter the school, and his normal ranking in the class was considered to be at the bottom. However, in this midterm ranking, he was already on the edge of the top 20, that excellent circle. How could his parents not be excited
Although people with discerning eyes did not say it, the adults in the yard of Huatong Company vaguely formed a view that Cheng Ran had suddenly become a good student, and Yu Xiao, who was close to Cheng Ran, also saw his grades improve. It was as if some kind of luck was at work, which could not be seen or touched, but as long as one was around Cheng Ran and played well with him, it seemed as if one would be enveloped by this mysterious luck and benefit from it.
So many adults in the yard even began to intentionally or unintentionally instruct their own children that Cheng Ran’s birthday was coming soon, so they should invite him to their home for a meal.
I haven’t had a gathering with my friends on the weekend for a long time, please ask Cheng Ran to come over…
It's like being treated like a mascot.
When the results came out, they ran into Xie Feibai at school. Seeing Cheng Ran, Xie Feibai walked past without saying a word.
Cheng Ran thought about it and estimated that he probably didn't do well in the exam. While thinking this, he looked over again and saw Xie Feibai who was walking away also looking at him. After noticing him, he quickly put his hands in his pockets and walked away as if nothing had happened.
During the break of the next class, Xie Feibai took the initiative to wait in the corridor.
"I got 758 points this time. I'm ranked 36th in the class." Xie Feibai put his hands in his trouser pockets and explained to Cheng Ran expressionlessly, "There are 62 people in the class, and I didn't make it into the top half."
As if he had given an explanation, he looked at Cheng Ran, as if he was expecting the kind of cold stare that would drive him crazy.
In the end, Cheng Ran just smiled and said, "Not bad. Keep working hard, and you'll get your dad's bonus soon!"
Xie Feibai seemed a little uncomfortable with Cheng Ran's praise. He turned around and tried to leave, but he turned half sideways. "I'm the top student in the grade. Your evaluation of 'good grades' is not convincing at all."
Cheng Ran just watched Xie Feibai walk away with his steps becoming lighter. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
…
After school that afternoon, Cheng Ran did not leave for a while. Yang Xia heard the noise behind him and just packed up his things for the time being, not in a hurry to leave.
In a few minutes, the classroom will be sparsely populated, and at that time, it seems to be a good time to chat and talk about something.
Finally, someone came over. It was Zheng Qiuying. She came to Cheng Ran's desk with a test paper and asked, "Cheng Ran, I want to know what your thinking was on this question... Can you tell me about it?"
At this time, there were still many people in the classroom. When they saw Zheng Qiuying approaching Cheng Ran, some people felt that this was a tribute from a top student. Zheng Qiuying herself was a student that ordinary students could hardly reach, but she was still working so hard after class. Moreover, she seemed to have no shyness or psychological pressure in front of Cheng Ran, but was straightforward.
Some people thought about it and secretly admired that although Cheng Ran was the top student in the grade, he could also be a sharpener. They could learn from him and see how he solved problems. For a top student like Zheng Qiuying, their shortcomings could be made up quickly. This was what a smart person did...
Yang Xia, who was originally packing up, sorted out his books... took out an exercise book from among them and began to do his homework at his seat. He would only turn his head once or twice because of the movement at Cheng Ran's desk a few rows behind him, and then his eyes would fall back on the exercise book without focus, as if he was thinking about a question.
After Zheng Qiuying got the answer from Cheng Ran and left, Yang Xia gently put down the pen and turned around, "You seem very busy..."
Just as he started, Cheng Ran looked over and saw another person standing by. It was Li Yachao. "Cheng Ran, let me ask you, is the answer to this problem of finding the ion concentration CL- in simulated seawater 0.0011 mol per liter?"
Cheng Ran smiled helplessly at Yang Xia, then turned his head and started talking to Li Yachao.
Yang Xia turned her head again, and the last ray of sunlight in the classroom made her face slightly red.
She felt a little embarrassed, but she was listening to the noise behind her with her ear tilted. The most annoying thing was that Cheng Ran had no intention of dismissing her. He explained it to her in a concise and precise manner, "Your idea is not wrong, but notice that in the middle of the whole step, NaOH solid was added, and the reaction equation needs to be rewritten..."
you want…
Look here...
You are a teacher!
Yang Xia raised his ears.
Finally, Li Yachao left.
Ten seconds later, Yang Xia turned around and said, "You are doing pretty well now... You can even explain the questions to other people. You finally didn't mess up..."
This statement was a double entendre. The only so-called messed-up thing between him and Yang Xia seemed to be the last cultural performance in junior high school.
Cheng Ran suddenly remembered, "Oh, by the way, I haven't mentioned you yet... You made such a big fuss just to scold someone, I have no grudge against you..."
It is not reasonable to say that Yang Xia's composition was posted on the bulletin board without any intention and was suddenly exposed. She has always been a very good writer. When she saw the topic, she was touched and she probably had a vague idea in her heart, that is, to write a composition that the teacher would spread. As for whether she wanted to publicize the hidden words, she might have some contradictions. Maybe she just left it to fate. If the composition was posted, it didn't matter if it was announced. After all, there was a high possibility that it would not be posted.
The result was a perfect score for the composition, and everyone knew that "Cheng Ran is a pig".
Thinking of Yang Xia doing this, Cheng Ran could still recall the stubborn look of that girl in the past.
"What else?" Yang Xia rolled his eyes. "You are a pig... Who doesn't have a grudge against you? We have a big grudge..."
Before Yang Xia could continue, someone else came over and said, "Cheng Ran, Cheng Ran, can you help me take a look? Where did I go wrong on this question? Why doesn't it match the answer?"
"Well... first... secondly... again..."
More than ten minutes passed, Yang Xia put away the exercise book and stuffed it into the drawer, took the bag, pushed the chair away, stood up, put on the bag, and walked away.
This noise made the student who was being taught the question by Cheng Ran look frightened. He looked at Yang Xia's back, then at Cheng Ran, feeling a little confused. Then he began to panic, wondering if he had messed up something.
Cheng Ran also looked at Yang Xia's back as she walked out with emotion, and his lips slightly opened...
Is this... angry
After going out, Yang Xia walked straight downstairs and came to the green road. Suddenly he raised his head and said, "Ah..." He heaved a long sigh of relief.
That was a close call…
I almost asked him what he said during the art performance...
Does it still count
(Today there will still be only one update. The general direction of the plot has been determined, and I am ready to move in that direction. I will think about many details.)
