Chapter 15: Pretending to be cool is like the wind, always with me
On the second floor of the west side of the old teaching building, in the classroom of Class 5, Grade 9.

Starting from noon, students began to arrive at school early one after another.

After all, graduation is approaching, and most of the students in the class will disperse and go to different high schools.

Even if they go to the same high school, they may not be in the same class.

So everyone cherishes this opportunity which may be the last time they meet.

Students who are on good terms with each other are already sharing their high school entrance exam scores and have agreed to apply to the same high school.

"It's okay. Although 508 points is not a sure thing, it's still a good chance." Near the podium, deputy monitor Shao Heqi comforted Jin Yuting, "Last year's passing score was only 507 points."

"But the passing scores two years ago and the year before last were both above 510 points." Jin Yuting sat in the first row, looking very sad and uneasy.

The educational resources in Yinjiang District are not as good as those in the main urban area, and the level of high schools is obviously disparate.

In the entire Yinjiang District, except for Yuhang No. 1 Affiliated High School, which is a genuine provincial key school that can compete with the key high schools in the urban area, the rest of the schools are basically at a lower-middle level.

If she fails to get into the Affiliated No. 40 Middle School, Jin Yuting will have no choice but to go to the No. Middle School, where the undergraduate admission rate is only %.

Although No. 2 Middle School can be considered middle-class in the entire Yuhang City, it is far inferior to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School.

"It's no use thinking so much now." Xu Yinghuan shook her head helplessly, "The score is there, we can only pray that the score line is lower this year."

Apart from Ying Chanxi and Zhao Rongjun, two talented students, the other three had the best grades in the class.

At this moment, three people gathered together to discuss the score line of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, and other students naturally would not come over to make trouble.

After all, even Jin Yuting, who scored the worst among the three, scored at least ten or twenty points higher than the others.

Most of the other students in the class could only enter ordinary high schools or even vocational high schools with mediocre results after the high school entrance examination.

From then on, I embarked on a completely different life path.

……

While everyone was chatting.

The head teacher Zhang Wei walked in from outside the classroom with a report card in his hand.

He smiled and patted the head of a sly guy in the back row, asking him to get off the table. Then he said, "You did well in the exam this time. You shouldn't be relegated to a vocational high school."

"Hehe." Slippery touched his head and laughed, puffing out his chest proudly, "I guessed at least five or six more questions correctly in the English multiple-choice test!"

"You deserve to die. I only got 70 points in English." My poor student friend next to me complained, "My parents teamed up to beat me up this morning. I was so scared that I didn't even have lunch. I rushed to school."

"You just don't work hard." Zhang Wei looked at him unhappily, and said, "If you were willing to learn from Li Luo, you wouldn't have been relegated to a vocational high school this time."

"Li Luo?" The poor student was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but curious, "Teacher Zhang, Li Luo did well in the exam this time?"

"Yeah." Zhang Wei's mouth twitched, "He did really well in the exam."

Jin Yuting, who was sitting in the front row, was already feeling depressed. When she heard what Zhang Wei said, she immediately turned around and asked, "Teacher Zhang, has Li Luo's score reached the passing line for general high school?"

"General high school score line..." Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled bitterly, "That must be enough."

"Is that so..." Jin Yuting fell silent, and her mood became even worse.

I can't say that I was jealous, but I just thought that Li Luo performed exceptionally well in the high school entrance examination, while I ended up with a complete failure.

Fortunately, I laughed at others before the exam...

But she at least scored 508 points. Even if Li Luo did better, the best he could do was to get more than 430 points.

Thinking of this, Jin Yuting's mood improved a little, as if she was comforted.

"Everyone, please take your seats first." After Zhang Wei joked with the students for a while, he walked to the podium and said to the students in the class, "Let me see how many people are left."

At this time, Li Luo and the other two who were taking pictures outside also walked in from the back door at the right time.

After hearing what Teacher Zhang said, Li Luo walked to his seat by the window in the back row and sat down, still thinking about what Teacher Zhang had just said.

surprise?

What surprise?
Li Luo couldn't figure it out for a moment.

When Zhang Wei on the podium saw that everyone was seated, he looked around and confirmed that only two or three people had not arrived yet.

I looked at the time again and it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.

So he put the report card in his hand on the podium and said to everyone with a smile: "I think you have all checked your scores, right? Let me share the overall situation of our class."

"As for the results of this high school entrance examination, some students performed very well, while others made some mistakes. But overall, our class has improved compared to before."

Having said this, Zhang Wei looked down at the transcript and continued.

"There are 45 students in our class, and 420 of them scored below 16 this time."

“There are 420 students with scores between 460 and 20.”

“There are 460 students with scores between 500 and 5.”

"And there are four people who scored above 500 points."

"The volunteer application system will be open at noon tomorrow. If anyone has any questions about filling out the application, please feel free to contact me during this period."

"Just in case, I'll write my cell phone number and QQ number on the blackboard. Students who haven't memorized them before can take note of them."

As he said this, Zhang Wei had already picked up the chalk and quickly wrote down his cell phone number and QQ number on the blackboard.

Under the podium, Shao Heqi was already frowning, wondering where in their class there were 4 students scoring above 500 points?
If there was a fourth person who scored 500 points, he would have already shown off in the QQ group, right?

With this confusion, Shao Heqi waited until Teacher Zhang finished writing on the blackboard, then he couldn't help but raise his hand and asked, "Teacher Zhang."

"what happened?"

"You said there are four people in our class who scored above 4 points. Besides me, Xu Yinghuan, and Jin Yuting, are there any others?"

Hearing Shao Heqi's question, other students in the class also became curious.

Everyone's eyes were on the students around them, and landed on a few students who usually had good academic performance.

But these students were also confused. They looked left and right, not sure which one it was.

Zhang Wei on the podium looked at this scene and shook his head with a smile: "Well... this."

"I have to praise Li Luo from our class. He also scored over 500 points this time. He has made great progress."

"I was also shocked when I saw the transcript. It's normal that you can't guess it."

Zhang Wei's words had just fallen.

The eyes of all the classmates around immediately turned to the guy sitting by the window in the back row, who was resting his chin on his hand and leisurely looking at the scenery outside the window.

These eyes were filled with surprise, disbelief and shock. Li Luo tried very hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up. It must be said that even a 35-year-old soul could not stand the pleasure brought by such pretense.

Especially since the head teacher took the initiative to assist, he didn't even have to do it himself.

So this is the pleasure that good academic performance brings?
"How could he score so high?!" Jin Yuting in the first row turned her head to look at Li Luo, her face full of shock.

She herself only scored 508 points, but Li Luo actually scored over 500 points.

Doesn't that mean that Li Luo's score is only a few points lower than hers? ? ?

If the score line of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School is higher this time, will I be able to be admitted to the No. 2 Middle School together with Li Luo?
When she thought of this, Jin Yuting's face suddenly became very ugly.

Especially when she thought of her ridicule of Li Luo before the exam, and compared their current scores which were almost the same, Jin Yuting wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Li Luo only scored over 400 points before? Is he that amazing?" Xu Yinghuan on the other side couldn't help but covered her mouth in surprise. Then she quickly stood up, walked to the podium, and looked at the transcript in Zhang Wei's hand.

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, can you please let me see Li Luo's score!"

Relying on her status as a good student, Xu Yinghuan is also very lively in front of the teachers and likes to act coquettishly and so on.

Zhang Wei was obviously used to this girl's style. He handed over the report card with a smile: "Here, take a look."

Xu Yinghuan couldn't wait to take the report card and subconsciously looked for the person behind Jin Yuting.

But after a quick glance, I found that the scores after Jin Yuting all started with 4.

This made her stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she was immediately stunned.

"What's the score? Xu Yinghuan, say something!" The students below the podium shouted at her, and did not forget to tease her, "It can't be higher than our student council member's score, right?"

When this is said, few people believe it.

Jin Yuting even chuckled twice, thinking that it was already a great achievement for Li Luo to get 500 points, how could it be higher than Xu Yinghuan's 520 points?
If that's the case, then wouldn't Li Luo be able to get into the No. 1 Middle School?

While Jin Yuting was thinking this, Ying Chanxi, who was sitting next to her, had a smile on his face. He supported his chin with both hands and looked at Xu Yinghuan, squinting his eyes with great enjoyment, admiring the surprised expressions on his classmates' faces.

If you don’t know, you might think that people are looking at her transcript.

But Li Luo's results shocked his classmates, and Ying Chanxi was happier than if he had won first place in the school.

I couldn't help but swing my legs back and forth under the table.

At this moment, Xu Yinghuan had just come back to his senses. He looked at the report card in his hand with a dazed look on his face. Then he looked up at his classmates and said in an erratic and uncertain tone:

"Li Luo... scored 555 points?"

In an instant, the class was completely quiet.

It was like someone had pressed the mute button.

I could even clearly hear the voice of Teacher Wang from the next class.

Jin Yuting in the first row stood there in a daze.

Shao Heqi in the third row was also stunned, and then he recalled his own score in his mind... Damn, it seems that he only scored 554 points?

Li Luo scored 555 points.

Doesn't that mean... Li Luo scored better than him? !
What a liar!

Shao Heqi stood up from his seat quickly, walked to the podium with big strides, snatched the report card from Xu Yinghuan's hand, and looked up at it fiercely.

Li Luo——total score 555 points!
It is clear in black and white.

Other brave students also ran up at this time, came to Shao Heqi's side, looked closely, and then there were bursts of gasps.

"Fuck! How did they test this?"

"Li Luo, are you cheating?"

"Outrageous, it's really 555 points!"

Surrounded by a circle of exclamations, Shao Heqi felt that his brain was a little lacking in oxygen and his whole body was dizzy.

He just couldn't understand how Li Luo, who had only scored 420 points in the mock exam, could get this score in the high school entrance examination.

"Teacher Zhang, didn't Li Luo calculate the score wrong?" A classmate jokingly asked Shao Heqi to express his doubts.

But Zhang Wei just shook his head: "His case is special. The school has specifically asked about it and checked the test paper. Li Luo's score is fine."

After hearing Zhang Wei's final verdict, Shao Heqi tightened his grip on the report card.

It is obvious that I am the number one person after Ying Chanxi and Zhao Rongjun!

How did I suddenly become the fourth in the class?
Although Li Luo scored high, it did not affect Shao Heqi's admission to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School.

But looking at the gap of only one point, Shao Heqi felt worse than eating shit.

Especially after catching a glimpse of Ying Chanxi's smiling expression, Shao Heqi felt even more awkward and sad.

Thinking of this, Shao Heqi carefully looked at Li Luo's grades in each subject.

In the end, he found that except for science, where he scored over 150 points and had an absolute advantage, he was suppressed by Li Luo in all other subjects.

Especially in Chinese, how the hell did he get 110 points?!
Among the three main subjects, getting a high score in Chinese is the most difficult.

As far as Shao Heqi could remember, Ying Chanxi was the only one in the class who could consistently score above 110 points.

Even Zhao Rongjun couldn't guarantee this score every time.

When he thought of this, Shao Heqi found it even more difficult to accept this reality.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how Li Luo did it.

But at this time Zhang Wei had already taken the report cards back from them, coughed twice, and asked them to sit back in their seats.

Shao Heqi returned to his seat in a daze, and subconsciously glanced back at Li Luo. He saw Li Luo showing a smug smile to the front and making a "yeah" gesture with his hand.

Following Li Luo's gaze, Shao Heqi turned his head and saw Ying Chanxi turning to look at Li Luo, giving him a thumbs up and winking playfully.

this moment.

There was silence in Shao Heqi's ears, and the only sound he could hear was the shattered glass and the sound of his bare feet stepping on it.

Oh.

It turns out it wasn't glass shards.

But his heart was broken.

"Okay, be quiet for a moment." Zhang Wei said at the podium, "Now let's arrange things for the graduation ceremony later."
