Chapter 139 - 138 Assistance Plan (Additional Update 2)

“One-on-one peer assistance. According to academic rankings, those ahead assist those behind, taking advantage of the fact that school has just started and the workload isn’t too heavy yet. Help each other out and make progress together!”

“Ah——” There was a collective wail from the class.

“Teacher, can we form our own groups?”

“Form your own groups… that’s fine, but it has to be thoroughly evaluated by me first.”

This actually piqued the students’ interest, and during the class meeting, they excitedly began looking for their “other halves.”

Ding Cai was up on the podium, checking off and registering each pair.

Good students Su Luo and Bai Fangfei also found their partners to help, who were the fourth from the bottom Xu Jiahui and the fifth from the bottom Liang Qianqian, respectively.

By the end, after everyone had registered and the group names were read out, it became apparent that only three students were left without partners.

Guo Zihao, Yuan Hao, Lu Mian.

Everyone looked at them with a mix of bemusement and sympathy.

These three were so poor in their studies that none of the better students would choose them—it would simply be a waste of time. And even if they did waste their time, there was no guarantee they’d teach well, and it would be the good students who’d end up embarrassed.

The class felt quite awkward for them, but it was what it was. The saying “you can’t teach a young fool or carve rotten wood” referred to them.

Guo Zihao was the type who tried very hard and was earnest, but just couldn’t learn.

Yuan Hao was the type who wasn’t great at studying or particularly diligent.

And Lu Mian, she was the type who did whatever she pleased and just idled her days away.

Ding Cai was a bit headache-ridden and thought about forcibly assigning classmates to them, but no one would agree.

Others felt embarrassed on their behalf.

Lu Mian, on the other hand, didn’t care and was smilingly happy to take it easy.

Guo Zihao, known as Fat Hao, and Shouhao were very angry, and to prove a point, they raised their hands voluntarily.

“Teacher, we three will form a group!”

Ding Cai: ???

“Hahahaha——”

The classroom burst into laughter. The bottom three forming a peer assistance group?

Would the very last one help the second and third last to become tied for last place?

Stop joking!

“Okay, okay, quiet down!” Ding Cai felt sorry for the three of them. Guo Zihao and Yuan Hao weren’t bad kids; since the start of school, they hadn’t caused any trouble and their families had even donated money to the school. They just weren’t good at studying.

“I’ll think about it,” he thought, and if all else failed, he would personally take on these three students.

However, Lu Mian pulled out Sui Yuan’s study plan from her pocket, and the light in her almond-shaped eyes flickered.

A peer assistance plan… wasn’t totally out of the question.

During the break.

A girl hurried over to Class 25’s door and stopped Bai Fangfei: “Classmate, could you call Su Luo for me?”

Recognizing the girl’s high school uniform, Bai Fangfei quickly called for Su Luo.

The girl spoke hastily: “Su Luo, Su Jue is fighting with someone, you should go check on him!”

“My brother?”

Without further thought, Su Luo immediately ran off.

Bai Fangfei, who had always had a good impression of Su Jue, naturally followed anxiously.

Behind the classroom of Class 12th Grade (1), there was a tight cluster of people.

“Su Shao, don’t be angry, let it go!”

“Xie Huiyang, you could say less too. You two are so close, fighting only hurts the relationship!”

Xie Huiyang swung another punch in anger, but Su Jue dodged, and the punch missed.

Xie Huiyang, frustrated, shook off the classmates trying to break up the fight, “Why don’t you guys blame Su Jue! My family invested three hundred thousand following him, and it’s all gone! I could accept the loss, but today, when I barely mentioned it, he lashed out and gave me the cold shoulder. Where do I even go to get justice!”

Su Jue was unabashed.

“Why did you have to bring it up when I was already in a bad mood? Isn’t that clearly just to mock me?”

Standing at the door, Su Luo quickly grasped the situation and rushed over to pull Su Jue away, “Okay, brother, stop fighting!”

The onlookers, who dared neither persuade nor pull them apart, found the situation much improved after she arrived, and a fight was averted.

In the infirmary.

As Su Luo applied the last Band-Aid to Su Jue, she started seriously.

“Brother, what’s the deal with you and stocks? Tell me the truth.”
