Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 215 Class Meeting
"Ye Qing...you..."

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Yi Wenna's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Hey, don't cry. I've said it so many times before, haven't I gotten used to it by now?"

Ye Qing never expected that Yi Wenna would react this way to her two sentences.

I've said similar things about her before, so why have I become so sensitive after just one summer vacation? Unless...

Ye Qing suddenly thought of something.

He began to stare intently at Yi Wenna, and she quickly became unable to resist.

She avoided his gaze: "Why are you staring at me?"

Ye Qing grabbed Yi Wenna's cheek: "When did your fake crying skills become so good?"

Yi Wenna mumbled, "I didn't... I didn't..."

"Come on this!"

It would have been better if Yi Wenna hadn't said anything, but as soon as she opened her mouth to argue, Ye Qing used her other hand as well.

He used both hands together to frantically pull at her cheeks.

During this time, Ai Liang silently read her novel, choosing not to join the conversation.

He knew very well that he wasn't good at socializing.

Let alone getting along with everyone in the class, it's not even possible to maintain the relationships that have already been established.

Just as Yi Wenna was being ravaged by Ye Qing, the homeroom teacher's voice came from the doorway: "Yi Wenna, come out for a moment."

"They're calling you."

Ye Qing released her hand and said.

Yi Wenna rubbed her face: "Ouch...you really hit me hard..."

She muttered a complaint as she walked toward the door.

Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief after Yi Wenna was called out by the homeroom teacher.

"what happened?"

Noticing Ye Qing's gaze, Ai Liang turned her head and asked.

"You're amazing. No matter what, you can ignore your surroundings and calm down to read."

"got used to."

"Sigh, I thought I could get rid of her in high school, but who knew her dad would still pull strings to get her into the honors class."

"You're not friends?"

"We have a good relationship, but Yi Wenna is a bit strange. She used to see that I was too tired from my part-time job and asked me to work as a part-time cleaner at her house. After I declined for a while, I finally agreed because I couldn't persuade her otherwise."

At this point, Ye Qing's expression began to turn strange and conflicted.

It's like discovering that a world-class chef didn't wash his hands after using the toilet and then cooked himself a huge Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

"Back then, she often ordered me around to do this and that. I knew she didn't mean any harm, so I didn't take it to heart. But one time I caught her with her face all red, holding my coat in both hands...you know what I mean."

Ai Liang thought for a moment: "Is she a T or a P?"

Ye Qing was taken aback by Ai Liang's direct question: "...Can you not be so blunt?"

Ai Liang maintained her unchanging expression: "So what? I have to be surprised, or look at her with strange eyes, for it to be considered normal?"

"That sounds just like something you would say."

Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh, "You're like a robot, always looking at others from an objective perspective."

Ai Liang glanced at Yi Wenna outside the classroom: "Let's put my question aside for now. This should be Yi Wenna's personal privacy. Can you just say whatever you want?"

"it's okay no problem."

Ye Qing quickly waved her hand: "She doesn't really care. It was common knowledge in junior high that she was interested in me. Because of this, I was called to the office by my homeroom teacher many times."

Ai Liang: "..."

Ai Liang gained a new understanding of the atmosphere in Qianhua City.

This place is truly unusually open.

"That's why I want to keep my distance from her! I don't want to become famous in high school for something like this. Besides, I'm a normal person; I don't have any weird fetishes!"

Ye Qing rested her chin weakly on the table, stretched out her left arm, and poked Ai Liang's shoulder absently.

"Even though she doesn't care, you'd better not go around telling everyone... Oh well, you won't make any friends with that poker face anyway."

Ye Qing originally wanted to give a reminder, but then she thought about Ai Liang's personality.

He probably wouldn't say anything if Ivanna publicly acknowledged her sexual orientation.

Not long after, Yi Wenna returned, accompanied by two other people.

Jin Pingan and Cheng Lejia.

When the homeroom teacher called her out just now, she seemed to be talking to the three of them.

Ai Liang guessed that it was most likely a conversation between people with connections.

This is not hard to guess.

Leaving Cheng Lejia aside for now, Jin Ping'an and Yi Wenna were admitted through special means.

At the beginning of the semester, the homeroom teacher spoke with them individually. Apart from that, there was really no other reason to gather these students together.

Ai Liang recalled the news about Jin Ping'an.

The underage detective...

Just like in the movies, all sorts of strange and unusual things always happen around these kinds of people.

Abbreviated as "B".

The next three years of high school should not be monotonous.

Just as Ai Liang had expected, Jin Ping'an was recognized shortly after entering the room.

Receiving related push notifications every day would make even a pig familiar with them, let alone Jin Ping'an, a primate who is even stronger than a pig.

"Hey, that person looks kind of familiar."

"You too? I actually think he looks familiar too."

"Someone who went to the same junior high school as us?"

"Isn't that Jin Ping'an! The guy who's always on the news feed!"

"I remember now! That student who was a consultant in the criminal investigation team?"

"He really was in school? And in the same class as us?"

The discussion in the class became even more heated; a person they saw on the news every day had suddenly appeared next to them.

This feeling is similar to when a streamer invites viewers to play games, and it happens to happen to you.

In that instant, it felt as if you had become a celebrity.

Jin Ping'an listened to the whispers in the classroom, smiled shyly, and then sat down in the last row by the window.

In his eyes, such corners were usually places of exile for teachers.

It's perfect for struggling students.

………………

As time went on, more and more people filled the classroom.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, almost everyone in the class had arrived.

The homeroom teacher cleared his throat: "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Yu, and my name is Yu Xin."

Yu Xin turned around and wrote his name on the electronic blackboard with a stylus: "Under normal circumstances, the teachers and homeroom teachers of the key classes will not be changed. I will be teaching this class for the next three years. Now, let's take attendance."

"Ai Liang".

"arrive."

Fang Xinlei.

"arrive."

"Ye Qing."

"arrive."

"Peng Yuan."

No one answered.

Yu Xin made a mark on the roster and then continued reading the next name.

……

As one name after another popped out of Yu Xin's mouth.

Yi Wenna gripped the edge of her T-shirt with both hands; the order of roll call was clearly based on grades.

She had mentally prepared herself for the ending.

"Yi Wenna".

"……arrive."

Yi Wenna let out a mournful cry from the bottom of her heart.

"Cheng Lejia".

"arrive."

"Jin Ping An".

"arrive."

'Huh? There are also people who got in through connections?'

Following the sound, Yi Wenna turned her head to look at the two people in the last row.

It was Cheng Lejia and Jin Pingan.

She recalled how Yu Xin had just called the three of them together and immediately understood the meaning of that encouraging conversation.

This made Yi Wenna feel even more ashamed.

"Just you wait! I've worked hard all summer, and I definitely won't be at the bottom of the class after the placement test!"

Yi Wenna made a silent vow in her heart.

After taking attendance, Yu Xin sat down on the podium, and the class meeting officially began.

"Everyone here is a top student from their respective schools. I'm too lazy to spout any of that nonsense about how the three years of high school are the most important and life-changing years."

Since you were assigned to this class, it proves you worked incredibly hard and should understand the importance of those three years of high school.

Yu Xin said half-jokingly, "If the principal hadn't forced us to say these things, I would have preferred to save my breath."

A series of snickers came from below the podium.

This humorous speaking style is very popular among students.

Yu Xin picked up his thermos and took a sip of goji berry water.

The moment he put down the cup, his smile vanished, and his expression turned serious.

"When you applied to our school, you should have heard that we don't have morning or evening self-study sessions, and we have two days off every week. Whether you can study well depends entirely on your self-discipline."

That's true, but that doesn't include our honors class.

Yu Xin wrote a number on the blackboard.

"If their regular direct-entry classes are the backbone of the school, then our two key classes are a sharp blade, guaranteeing the college entrance rate of elite universities."

Here you can enjoy full tuition waivers and a basic monthly stipend of one thousand yuan. The school spends nearly one million yuan annually on this alone.

Yu Xin circled the number one million in red pen.

Then he added a few more numbers below.

“Every three months there is a joint exam for the top classes in each city. The top five students are rewarded by their schools. The first place gets 10,000 yuan, and the second to fifth place get 2,000 yuan less each.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing, who had been listless, instantly perked up and stared intently at the blackboard.

Many students from average-income families reacted exactly like Ye Qing.

Those who can get into the top class are all top students.
Before being beaten.

They do have that much confidence.

"Of course, if you're just going to coast along, the school has its own countermeasures. The number of students in the honors class isn't fixed. If someone in the first direct-entry class has a higher score than you..."

I'm sorry, the monthly subsidy of 1,000 yuan is gone. If you are surpassed a second time, please work harder. If it's a third time, I'll have to trouble the regular class to make room for you in their class.

However, tuition fees will still be waived; this is the guarantee that we've admitted you.

Yu Xin wore a cold smile, while many students below the podium looked on in disbelief.

If someone's grades are surpassed by someone in the direct-advancement class, will they be kicked out of the honors class?
What kind of crazy system is this?!
Where are the promised benefits?

Everyone in the class was stunned by this revelation.

Especially for Yi Wenna, her newly built confidence was instantly shattered, and she was on the verge of tears.

As a young lady from a wealthy family, she didn't care about the tuition fees or the subsidies.

What Yi Wenna cares about more is that if her grades are surpassed by those in the direct-entry class, her name will be remembered by everyone!

Although she came here to enjoy the educational resources of the elite class, she couldn't bear to lose face!
"For those who are promoted to the honors class, we will refund their tuition fees. This will be valid until the college entrance examination. As you know, our school's tuition fees are not low, and many people want to take this opportunity to save money."

Yu Xin, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, continued to add fuel to the fire, inciting students to become increasingly agitated.

"Although you are in the lead now, it doesn't mean you can stay in the lead forever. Your teachers won't urge you on; your classmates will urge you on personally."

There are no punishment systems in the direct-entry class, only incentive systems designed for the elite classes.

Incidentally, most of the above rewards are for students whose academic performance exceeds that of students in the honors class.

Moreover, the rewards increase based on the number of times the score is surpassed, and can even exceed the scholarships for top classes.

If you think you can't handle this pressure, you can speak up now, and I'll have someone transfer you to the accelerated program.

After Yu Xin finished speaking, he picked up his cup again and took a sip of goji berry water. Most of the students below were stunned by the atmosphere of this wolf-like culture.

They thought that getting into this school would make things much easier, but little did they know that this ease didn't include the honors class.

Students in the direct-entry class can rest, sleep until they naturally wake up every day, and go out to play on weekends, but students in the honors class cannot.

If you don't want to be left behind by those behind you, you have to keep working hard and striving.

It's important to know that many of the top students in the direct-entry class are only a few points away from those in the honors class.

After the first exam, many students in the top class will definitely lose their monthly subsidy of one thousand yuan.

Of course, this kind of thing would never be mentioned during the admissions process.

After all, Qianhua Experimental Middle School is known for its relaxed and autonomous education.

Many students who ranked lower were secretly cursing the school for being cunning.

But no one chose to quit.

That monthly subsidy of 1,000 yuan is an extra reward. Look at other schools, which one gives money to every student in the class?
If you can't get this 1,000 yuan, then you should withdraw from the top class and give up the most elite teaching team.

It can only be said that the person was able to get in because of some incredible stroke of luck from their ancestors.

Some in the classroom were happy, while others were sad.

Aside from Ai Liang and Ye Qing, who were ranked higher, the three at the bottom of the list were the most composed.

The three of them got in through connections; they weren't part of the system at all.

There was naturally no sense of tension.

Even Yi Wenna only felt ashamed of being at the bottom of the class.

What others desperately want to get into is utterly insignificant in their eyes.

How does the saying go?

Ninety percent of people who can afford a Maserati were able to afford it at the moment they were born.

Life is inherently unfair; you'll get used to it eventually.

While this wolf-like system is ineffective against those with connections, it is still quite effective for ordinary students.

At this moment, without the need for teachers to painstakingly persuade them, they naturally developed the motivation to study hard.

Yu Xin looked at the students below the stage, some nervous and some anxious, as if they couldn't wait to start class, and nodded in satisfaction.

Only Ai Liang and Fang Xinlei remained expressionless throughout the class.

Ye Qing, on the other hand, was eager to try, wishing she could immediately take two joint exams to warm up (and win a prize).

Ai Liang and Fang Xinlei have absolute confidence in their academic performance.

Ye Qing was already used to competitive job selection. If you don't have some skills in society, why would anyone hire you?
