The questions for the physics competition were issued by the City Hall, and the papers were also collected back to be corrected. So, the results for it would not be released so quickly, but the monthly exams were different. Their monthly exam papers were corrected very quickly by their teachers.
Some of the impatient students in the class had decided to skip lunch and head over to the office to check their results. Although the language papers were the ones that they sat for first, there were essays to be corrected, and so the results would only be released later on. Physics and mathematics were different. It would be easier to correct these papers, and so the results for these would also be released first.
âCongratulations Tan Rou.â Xu Yan came back from the office and went to Tan Rouâs seat, âYou got full marks in physics and math again.â
Li Li was excited, âThatâs great!â
Tan Rou remained calm. She knew exactly how many points she had scored on the test and was not anxious about it at all. Other than the language and English essays she was uncertain of, the others would not be far away from her expectations.
But she still thanked Xu Yan for telling her the news, âThank you, class monitor.â
Li Li asked, âClass monitor! How did Lu Qing do on the exam?â
Not far away, Lu Qing heard his name and instantly turned his gaze over. He knew he didnât do as well as Tan Rouâs exams but he was still looking forward to it.
âCurrently ranked second.â Xu Yan looked at quite a few of his classmatesâ, among them was Lu Qing, âFull marks in math but four points deducted in physics. It was a pity.â
Lu Qing answered with a short âThank you.â He was already happy with the scores that he got.
âBut â¦â Xu Yan turned his attention to Song Lin, who had just returned from reading the results and was now sitting in his seat in a daze, âSong Lin doesnât seem to have done too well.â
Everyone knew about the bet between Song Lin and Tan Rou. Even though Xu Yan didnât like Song Lin, he had also checked Song Linâs results.
âPhysics is not Song Linâs forte and this time the physics questions were difficult. The math education abroad is not at the same level as the ones we have here. So, I think Song Lin has been carried away by the foreign education in the past six months. He barely got a hundred in math, 107, which is not his normal level.â
Xu Yan said: âAccording to his previous performance, even if he doesnât get full marks, he should have scored more than 130 marks.â
âPfft -â Li Li couldnât hold back her laugh as she said to Tan Rou.
âI can already imagine him running naked on the playground in his underwear.â
Xu Yan said in a stent tone. âStrictly speaking, wearing his underwear does not mean running naked.â
Li Li slammed the table and laughed, âClass monitor! What you say is actually true!!â
Their voices were not small and fell into Song Linâs ears. He was embarrassed and annoyed and stood up violently, yelling at Tan Rou and the others, âThere are still a few subjects left, what are you excited about? Itâs not certain who will win or lose yet!â
Tan Rou did not want to talk to him childishly. So, she took out her homework and started working on it but Li Li couldnât hold it back anymore.
âIt is true that there are still a few doors not out, but â¦â Li Li counted on his fingers, âXiao Rou has scored two papers with full score. You are already short of 26 on one paper and short of 43 on another. Thatâs nearly seventy points all together. This is inclusive of a core subject. Since we still have four more results left to be released, if we estimate it according to what you have scored now, there would actually be a different of 200 marks between you and Tan Rou!â
Song Linâs face turned gloomy. âWhat nonsense?!â He rushed over and wanted to teach Li Li a lesson.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Rou stood up with a swish, âSong Lin, Li Li was just talking about it. Are you angry because you think you canât pass the test?â
Song Lin stood still, feeling embarrassed. âThe results are not yet out. Donât be too full of yourself just yet.â
What a coincidence, another one of their classmates, who loves checking their results, came back and shouted, âTan Rou, you got a perfect score in chemistry again!â
Tan Rou smiled and gestured for Song Lin to go to the office, âSong Lin, itâs time for you to go.â
But, he didnât have to check his results personally, his âgood buddyâ came running into the classroom, âSong Lin, I saw it. You did good in chemistry, you got 92 points.â
Song Linâs face was as black as the bottom of a pot. As their results got released, his results were worse than Tan Rou and the difference between them became even bigger.
âSong Lin,â Tan Rou said provocatively, holding her arms, âYou like to stand up for people and be in the limelight, Iâll give you the chance to do so. I hope youâll wear your favorite bottoms when you come to school tomorrow, donât wear too childish ones.â
Song Lin scolded angrily: âYou are indeed shameless, why do you have to stare at other peopleâs bottom? Is this some kind of fetish?â
Tan Rou was not annoyed and continued, âItâs okay not to wear bottoms, like the class monitor just said, wearing bottoms does not count as running naked. You can try to go completely naked.â
Xu Yan silently walked away. He had nothing to do with this.
