Chapter 207 - 206: Just Playing Normally

Ding Cai was a young teacher and didn’t have much say among the homeroom teachers.

He was always amiable and tolerant, but this time he stood his ground firmly against Zhang Wenqiang.

He remembered clearly, in this same office, Lu Mian said resolutely that she would become his unparalleled pride.

And she had done it.

She was really great!

Then he, too, couldn’t allow his students to bear such injustice!

Zhang Wenqiang’s face turned extremely awkward, yet she couldn’t refute his words and, fuming, grabbed her class’ report card and walked away in her high heels.

The other teachers crowded around Ding Cai, bewildered and shocked.

“Teacher Ding, what’s going on?”

“How did your class achieve these results?”

“Teacher Ding, share your secret with us, will you?”

Ding Cai’s heart burst with joy at that moment, and he tried hard to keep from laughing out loud, waving his hand with the corners of his mouth lifted.

“It’s just a normal performance, I guess!”

Everyone: “…”

——

Class 25.

Knowing that the results were about to be announced, Shouhao came over and asked Lu Mian, “Mian bro, how did you do on the test?”

Lu Mian wrapped her hair lazily around her fingers, “I think it’s passable.”

“Passable, huh…” Shouhao worried for a moment, “You’re not… the last one again, are you?”

“If it’s not her, then it must be you, right, or Yuan Hao?”

Xu Jiahui passed by and heard this, his face full of mocking laughter, “Anyway, it’s one of you three!”

“Shut your damn mouth!” Shouhao didn’t want to deal with him.

“What, not allowed to talk now? You’re definitely going to lose this support plan—Our Su Luo is going to be the top student in the grade! The first one in the positive count!”

Shouhao couldn’t stand it any longer and rolled up his sleeves angrily, “Didn’t get a good enough beating last time?”

“…”

Xu Jiahui immediately remembered the pain from the broken wrist inflicted by Lu Mian, sweat breaking out on his back, and he slunk away, but deep down, he was secretly waiting for a good laugh.

When Ding Cai arrived in the classroom, everyone could tell that he was in a good mood.

The students also had a hunch that their class had done well on this month’s exam.

Ding Cai smiled broadly, posted the score sheet on the wall, and invited everyone to look at it one by one.

The students were eager to gather around and check their individual scores.

Naturally, everyone first paid attention to their own results and, upon seeing their total score, class ranking, and grade ranking, couldn’t help but beam with joy. Although some students had fallen behind in class ranking, their overall score and grade ranking had improved.

This meant the overall level of their class had risen.

Amidst all the excitement, Ding Cai happily announced that this time the class had made a collective improvement of 12 places, achieving a great result of 13th rank in the grade, finally shedding the title of being the last in the grade.

Such a significant overall improvement was also a quite rare comeback.

The classroom instantly turned chaotic, with screams, whistles, and desk-pounding noises rising one after another.

Then came the individual scores.

Xu Jiahui squeezed his way from the back, also habitually starting from the bottom to find his own name, and before he even began to search, he suddenly discovered…

“Holy shit, I’m the very last?”

He elbowed several classmates aside and stared at the score sheet for a long while, looking at it clearly and unmistakably.

Firmly the absolute last.

Shouhao and Yuan Hao hadn’t noticed him; after enthusiastically checking their own scores, they ran back to report to Lu Mian.

“Mian bro, I’ve gone up by twenty places! 41st.”

“Mian bro, I’ve also gone up by twenty places! 42nd.”

The brothers shared a knowing smile, heck, their results were again back to back, truly reflecting the guidance of the same teacher.

Lu Mian was happy for them and rubbed a ballpoint pen on her cheek, laughing in a carefree and uninhibited manner.

“Not bad, you still have a lot of room for improvement! One of these days I’ll give you guys some extra tutoring…”

“Ah?!” The brothers gasped in shock, the fear of being under Professor Lu’s tutelage spread from their feet to their heads, engulfing them in a wave of dread.

Shouhao quickly changed the subject, “Mian bro, why couldn’t we find your ranking?”
