for Advance Chapter
Friday morning, Class 3 (6).
"Students, don't be nervous. Now I'm going to announce the rankings and scores for this midterm exam..."
As Zhao Kaishun approached the podium, carrying a stack of papers and a spreadsheet, the students below immediately let out a series of nervous gasps, like criminals awaiting a judge's verdict.
"Oh, Teacher Zhao is so heartless! Can't they wait until after the weekend to announce the results?"
"Yeah, if we knew we'd failed this exam, how would we feel about going out and having fun?"
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. Teacher Zhao just loves this..."
A flurry of whispers filled the classroom.
Lin Junyi vaguely heard a few words and chuckled to himself, "Knowing this sooner or later doesn't make a difference. These people clearly have no confidence in themselves. Don't you even know how you did?"
Zhao Kaishun stood at the podium, his face serious, his eyes gleaming coldly. He glanced around the classroom, then cleared his throat and prepared to read out the results.
At these moments, Zhao Kaishun felt his most powerful, a sense of control over someone else's "fate."
But the moment his eyes met Lin Junyi's, Lin Junyi felt he was avoiding him again.
"Classmates, the top scorer in our Class 3 (6) this exam is, of course, Gu Qing!" Zhao Kaishun smiled and nodded at Gu Qing.
"Deskmate, hehe, congratulations!" Lin Junyi glanced at Gu Qing, who was sitting next to him, and said with a faint smile.
"Thank you." Gu Qing smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes curved into lovely crescents.
Zhao Kaishun then began to read out the results: "Gu Qing, first place! Chinese 130, Math 122, English 133, Physics 132, History 123, total score 613! An improvement of seven points from the last final exam! You've topped the school for three consecutive exams!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the students in the classroom couldn't help but applaud. Gu Qing's results brought honor to the class.
"Deskmate, congratulations again! Three consecutive championships!" Lin Junyi chuckled.
"You're welcome," Gu Qing chuckled, finding his words quite humorous, linking the exam to a sports competition.
"And let me congratulate myself, haha. I finally get to sit next to you again," Lin Junyi said with a smile.
Gu Qing blushed at his words. She could tell Lin Junyi cherished the time they spent sitting together, and was even a little worried. If her grades dropped this time, with the combined power of school and family, Zhao Kaishun would definitely move her and Lin Junyi's seats apart.
Besides caring about Gu Qing, Lin Junyi was also concerned about his own grades. He definitely wouldn't be last this time, but he wasn't sure how much better he could get.
"Second place—Lin Junyi!"
Zhao Kaishun felt bitter, his tongue twisted, and he was extremely reluctant to say the name. He had never imagined Lin Junyi would improve so quickly, and even suspected he was cheating. But after learning about the situation from the teacher in the exam room, he had no choice but to accept the outcome.
"Chinese 112 points, Mathematics 135 points, English 134 points, 100 points in physics, 120 points in history, a total score of 601 points! Third in the grade!"
Zhao Kaishun read out Lin Junyi's results with a sullen face. The moment he finished speaking, the class was in an uproar, even more sensational than Gu Qing's first place.
Because good students like Gu Qing have relatively stable academic performance, an improvement of 6 or 7 points is considered good, after all, the upper limit of 750 points is there.
For those poor students, the ups and downs in their academic performance are more exciting.
Lin Junyi's results today really shocked everyone. Last time, his total score on the final exam was only 135, ranking last in the whole school. But this time, his total score was 601, a full 466 points improvement! This is simply the most powerful improvement in the history of Xie En Private Middle School.
"Wow, an improvement of 466 points, from last in the grade to third in an instant! This is a true test emperor!"
"Oh my, Lin Junyi's grades have improved so fast, right? Such a big improvement in just 35 days? Is he still human?" Could he have cheated?"
"Cheated? This is a mock exam environment, with one desk per student, where would he have cheated? Even if he had the ability to cheat, why didn't he cheat before?"
"That's because he had the class monitor Gu Qing as his deskmate, and his grades improved so quickly with her help! It was really rapid progress, faster than taking a helicopter!"
"Haha, maybe he just guessed, let's see
how it goes in the next exam!" In short, the class was saying all kinds of things, and of course they couldn't help but be shocked. Improving so many points at once caused a huge sensation in the whole school. Now Lin Junyi has become the school's most famous news figure, and almost everyone knows him.
"Student Lin Junyi, you have made great progress this time, and the teacher wants to praise you! "Although Zhao Kaishun tried to put on a smile, it turned out to be uglier than crying.
This made Lin Junyi ecstatic, thinking that Zhao Kaishun must be crying quietly in his heart.
The bet between teachers and students was unprecedented in Xie En Private Middle School. Now the matter has spread throughout the school, and almost everyone knows that Lin Junyi of Class 3 (6) and his head teacher Zhao Kaishun have made vows respectively. If Lin Junyi ranks among the top three in the class in the midterm exam, Zhao Kaishun will learn to crawl ten laps like a tortoise; if Lin Junyi fails, he will have to kneel down and say that he is a "pig".
Now, Lin Junyi actually won!
The class was quiet, and everyone was wondering: Will Zhao Kaishun fulfill his original promise?
Zhao Kaishun stood on the podium and tried to stop his trembling He stretched out his legs, pretending to be calm, but his ashen face revealed his inner thoughts.
This funny scene made all the students in Class 3 (6) laugh, but under the influence of Zhao Kaishun's past prestige, they all blushed and dared not laugh out loud.
Lin Junyi also had a feeling of great revenge in his heart, but on the surface he still seemed calm and composed, as if getting such a good result was within his expectations.
Moreover, he felt that the score was lower than he expected, and he was not very satisfied. The scores in physics and history were too low. You know, Lin Junyi was a reborn person with rich experience in his previous life and now given his exceptional memory, coupled with his diligent study over the past thirty-five years, it's no surprise that his grades have improved dramatically.
Seeing the mocking looks on the faces of his classmates, Zhao Kaishun's expression darkened even further. His resentment towards Lin Junyi reached a fever pitch, almost treating him as his sworn enemy. He secretly vowed, "Lin Junyi, you embarrassed me in front of so many people today. I'll definitely settle this score with you. And I'll pay you back tenfold!"
"Congratulations, classmate, you've made such rapid progress!" Gu Qing's tender and gentle voice echoed in Lin Junyi's ears.
"Thank you! You've contributed to this, too! If it weren't for your tireless help these past few days, I wouldn't have made such great progress." Lin Junyi gazed at Gu Qing's pure and beautiful face and said with a faint smile.
"It's mainly because you found your study state. I didn't really help you much." Gu Qing was very humble, a smile gracing her beautiful face.
"Then I have to thank you very much!" Lin Junyi tilted his head and smiled as Zhao Kaishun continued reading the grades. "How about I treat you to lunch?"
"Huh? No thanks?" Gu Qing's pretty face flushed, but she wasn't particularly surprised by Lin Junyi's offer. He had offered it before, but she hadn't agreed or objected then.
"Of course it's necessary!" Lin Junyi smiled faintly. In fact, Gu Qing's words were simply a girl's reservedness, not a conscious refusal.
Zhao Kaishun continued reading the grades. Jiang Xiaoyu was last in line, with a total score of 220. While this was an improvement from last time, Lin Junyi's meteoric rise to first place had put Jiang Xiaoyu back at the bottom of the class.
Zhao Kaishun didn't criticize Jiang Xiaoyu, but instead offered him some encouragement before returning to class. He made no mention of the bet with Lin Junyi, and of course, the class didn't dare force him to keep it.
Lin Junyi had been prepared for Zhao Kaishun's shameless behavior, but he didn't mention the bet. After all, Zhao Kaishun was his homeroom teacher, and they were constantly seeing each other. If he forced Zhao Kaishun to fulfill the bet and do ten laps like a tortoise in front of everyone, while he might relieve his anger temporarily, it would also incur Zhao Kaishun's immense resentment. Then, he would be unable to move forward in Class 3 (6).
Furthermore, this time, Lin Junyi had made a bet not only with Zhao Kaishun but also with his wife, Li Zishan. He had secretly resolved that no matter what, he would make Zhao Kaishun wear a huge green hat.
