Chapter 106 I'm waiting for you
In mid-October, the midterm exams of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School arrived as scheduled.

Li Luo directed his classmates to arrange the desks and chairs in six separate rows as the examination room for the midterm exam.

In the previous entrance exam, Li Luo ranked 328th in the school and was assigned to Class according to his ranking.

For example, Lu Jiahao in the class was ranked in the top 100 in the school and was able to take the exam in Class 2 according to his ranking.

Anyone who can enter the key class and take the exam with the qualifications of a parallel class is considered a god-killer in the eyes of ordinary students.

Those students from key classes who are squeezed out of key classes by students from parallel classes are the more shameful ones.

After all, I had learned the first year of high school content in the summer advance class, but I couldn’t even pass the junior high school content exam. It’s really a bit unreasonable.

There are many reasons for this, among which are some students who become complacent after passing the independent enrollment, resulting in stagnation in their progress.

Once you fall out of the ranking of the key class, and study in the high-pressure atmosphere surrounded by top students in the key class, it is very likely that your grades will plummet and it will be difficult to rise again.

On the contrary, although some students are in parallel classes, they have developed self-confidence because they have been at the top of the class for a long time. They can easily be ranked among the top 100 in the school, which is better than being in key classes.

As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Sometimes this is the truth.

Since there are only nine subjects in the first year of high school, the exams are held from Wednesday to Friday, with one main subject and two secondary subjects every day.

Most people are not particularly nervous. After all, it is just a midterm exam and the grade ranking does not mean much.

But there are also people like Shao Heqi, who are determined this time to surpass Li Luo in comprehensive scores.

Especially in Shao Heqi's opinion, Li Luo has joined the basketball club and the literature club since the start of the school year, and even joined the rock club a few days ago.

None of them are competition clubs.

This is definitely a sign of not intending to study seriously.

Shao Heqi chose the Physics Club, and would go there to study in depth every evening and Saturday afternoon.

Coupled with his serious study and exam preparation since the beginning of the school year, Shao Heqi vowed to make a splash in the midterm exam.

His strength is science, and as for the liberal arts subjects of history, geography and politics, as long as he memorizes them well, the score difference will basically not be too big.

In this way, he had full confidence to kill Li Luo on the spot!

At this time, Li Luo was still unaware of Shao Heqi's ambition.

He simply took advantage of the last bit of review time during morning self-study to close his eyes. It seemed that he was taking a nap, but in fact he was checking for omissions in his memory palace to make sure that all the knowledge points needed for the exam had been prepared.

Whether it was the knowledge points in the textbook, the teacher’s blackboard writing during class, or the various viewpoints and conclusions provided in the PPT, they were all recorded by him one by one.

According to the different categories of each subject, it is better to deal with them in different categories.

He only needs to use his brain a little during the exam, and the things he needs will automatically appear in his mind.

When the exam preparatory bell rang, the three teaching buildings in front and behind the No. 1 Middle School suddenly burst into noise.

Everyone packed up their exam supplies, walked out of the classroom and headed to their own exam room.

Before leaving, Li Luo raised his fist towards Yan Zhusheng in the back seat and said, "Good luck on the exam."

"Come on." Yan Zhusheng stretched out his fist and touched it lightly.

Her score in the opening exam was slightly better than Li Luo's. The exam room happened to be in Class 8, and it was her own seat, so she didn't have to move at all, which was very convenient.

Li Luo took his pencil case and went to the classroom of Class 9 downstairs.

Three consecutive days.

The Affiliated No. 1 Middle School is immersed in an extremely serious atmosphere.

All community activities have been suspended.

Apart from one exam in the morning and two exams in the afternoon, the rest of the time is devoted to self-study.

Teachers of different subjects take turns on duty in the classroom, answering and handling students' questions at the podium.

After the last political exam on Friday, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the string that had been taut for a long time finally relaxed.

"There is no arrangement for self-study on Saturday this week." After the exam, Kong Junxiang came to the classroom and reminded the students, "School ends at 5 pm. Be careful when you go home."

“Wuhu~” Although they knew it before, Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang in the back row still cheered because they could finally have a day off from school on Friday.

The other boys also cheered, and the classroom was full of joy.

But the next second, Kong Junxiang took out a stack of notices with a smile and handed them to Hua Xiuxiu in the first row: "Distribute them to everyone."

"This is the notice for the parents' meeting. Please remember to show it to your parents after you go home today."

"The parents' meeting will be held on Saturday morning next week. If both parents are unable to attend due to some matters, they must call me personally to explain the situation."

"Oh, by the way, although the test papers should be graded this weekend, the specific scores should be announced on the day of the parents' meeting."

At this point, Kong Junxiang smiled a little more happily, "I hope you can satisfy your parents."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was immediate grief.

Although before coming to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School, everyone was the best in junior high school.

But after coming to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School, most people feel like they are just like everyone else.

In the past, at the parent-teacher meetings in junior high school, each of the parents was in high spirits in the classroom.

I don’t know whether my parents can accept this gap after I come to the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.

But Li Luo thought of another problem.

"Will your mother come?" Li Luo asked Yan Zhusheng quietly.

Taking the notice of the parents' meeting from the person in front of her, Yan Zhusheng pursed her lips and said, "My mom...is going to release a new album soon, so she should have a lot of announcements to attend."

"If it's just for one morning, there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Li Luo frowned.

Yan Zhusheng shook his head: "It's okay. It's already very difficult for her to make a comeback after so many years. This is just a parent-teacher meeting. It's not that important."

"We'll have to ask first." Li Luo said, "Maybe I'm free that day."

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded, then turned to look at Li Luo and asked curiously, "Which one of your uncle and aunt will come to participate?"

"Well," Li Luo said, stroking his chin, "Based on past experience, whenever my grades were good, my mom would come. If my grades were poor or I got into trouble at school, my dad would come."

"So...it will be your mother who will come this time?" Yan Zhusheng guessed.

"It seems that you have a lot of confidence in me." Li Luo said with a smile, "How do you know that I will do well in the exam this time?"

"Because Xixi and the senior sister have been tutoring you." Yan Zhusheng said honestly, "You should have made some progress." "It's not as simple as just making progress. I think I can get into the top 40 this time." Li Luo raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to bet?"

"Okay." Yan Zhusheng nodded. "I bet you can get into the top 40. If you win, what's the reward?"

Li Luo: “?”

"Did you get it wrong?"

"No." Yan Zhusheng shook his head and said, "I believe you."

Li Luo was speechless: "...You don't have to trust me so much. I feel no sense of accomplishment when you do this."

The two chatted for a while, and Kong Junxiang on the podium looked at the time and asked everyone to pack up and get ready to go home.

Before leaving, Kong Junxiang said at the door of the classroom: "Li Luo, Hua Xiuxiu, you two come to my office."

The monitor and deputy monitor whose names were called stood up from their seats and followed Kong Junxiang all the way to the office on the fifth floor.

Before entering the office, Li Luo happened to run into Ying Chanxi who was going upstairs from the other side.

Ying Chanxi followed behind Teacher Sun and seemed to have something to tell him.

"Li Luo!" Ying Chanxi shouted to Li Luo in front of many students and teachers in the corridor, "Your mother said she would come home for dinner today, and my father is back too."

While others were still brainstorming and analyzing the relationship between the two, Li Luo had already made an OK gesture to Ying Chanxi and followed Kong Junxiang into the office.

"There will be a parents' meeting next Saturday. I will need two assistants to help pour tea for the parents and pass out documents."

Kong Junxiang said, "Because the classmates will be here on Saturday morning, we need to make arrangements for them."

"The school is going to open up club activities directly on Saturday morning."

"After the parent-teacher meeting in the classroom this morning, we will arrange for parents of first-year students to visit the club."

"You two will be in charge of leading the team and introducing the clubs in our school to the parents and their characteristics."

"Here are all the introductory materials for the school clubs. You can familiarize yourself with them this week."

As he spoke, Kong Junxiang handed two documents to Li Luo and Hua Xiuxiu.

Li Luo took a quick look and found that they were all very official introductions.

When he saw the rock club on it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Are there any performances scheduled?"

"Oh, you mean the rock club?" Kong Junxiang said with a smile, "They will arrange a performance for the high school parents at the stadium. I remember you were in it? It's a good time to practice before the sports meeting."

After hearing what Teacher Kong said, Li Luo, who had always been calm and composed after his rebirth, became unusually nervous at the thought of performing in front of his parents.

"Okay, I'm fine here, you two go back and pack up and go home."

After coming out of Teacher Kong’s office, Li Luo saw Ying Chanxi waiting at the stairs.

"I'm going back to the classroom to get my schoolbag. You wait for me in your class."

"understood."

Li Luo returned to Class 8 and planned to pack his bag and leave, but when he entered the room he found that Yan Zhusheng was still sitting on the chair.

"Why haven't you gone home yet?"

"Waiting for you." Yan Zhusheng said with some anticipation in his eyes, "I just told the cook that I won't be going back for dinner today."

"Uh..." Hearing her say that, Li Luo immediately scratched his head awkwardly, "I'm going home with Xixi today. My parents have prepared dinner for me, so I won't cook here."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Zhusheng had already pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly: "Oh...Is that so."

After a few seconds, she looked up again: "It's okay, I'll go home then."

Li Luo opened his mouth but didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.

After all, Ying Zhicheng is back today, and it is a dinner between the two families. It would be inappropriate to invite Yan Zhusheng over.

So the two said goodbye at the back door of the classroom. Yan Zhusheng waved at him, then went downstairs with his schoolbag on his back.

After a while, Ying Chanxi also came downstairs with his schoolbag on his back. After finding Li Luo, the two of them walked towards the school gate together.

"How did you do in the exam this time?" Ying Chanxi asked curiously.

"It feels good." Li Luo stroked his chin and thought carefully, then glanced at Ying Chanxi, "Maybe I can surpass you."

"Oh?" Ying Chanxi looked at him with a half-smile, with a smile that showed that he was the best in his class. "If you can really surpass me, I will unconditionally promise you one thing."

"real or fake?"

"of course it's true."

"Then is it okay for you to bark like a puppy in public during your speech at the flag-raising ceremony?"

"What are these things!?"

"Fuck! Why are you hitting people?"

"Don't run! I'll teach you a lesson!"

"You can say anything you want!"

The two people, one chasing and one fleeing, soon ran all the way from the teaching building to the school gate.

Just as the two turned and ran towards the intersection, a car horn honked on the side of the road.

Ying Zhicheng rolled down the car window, looked at his daughter chasing after Li Luo and beating him, and coughed twice.

Li Luo was the first to react. He immediately turned around and pointed at Ying Chanxi, and shouted, "Uncle Ying! Ying Chanxi bullied me!"

Ying Chanxi saw his father and then looked at Li Luo's annoying expression, and his face turned red with anger: "I didn't!"

Ying Zhicheng laughed and shook his head, waving at the two of them: "You two are so grown up, don't be ashamed, get in the car."

At the corner of the intersection not far away.

Xu Youyu patted Yan Zhusheng on the shoulder and looked strangely at the rear of the car that had already driven away: "What are you looking at?"

"I didn't see anything." Yan Zhusheng shook his head.

"Then let's go." Xu Youyu held her hand and said with a smile, "My classmate recommended a very delicious restaurant to me. Come with me to have a meal."
