1987 My Era

Chapter 64, One step closer to your wish

There are 204 students in Class 64, and 52 of them are among the top 120 students in the school.

The overall level of class 205 next door is similar to that of class 204.

This means that the students who are eligible to take the scholarship exam are basically from the two top classes, while the average number of students from other classes is about 2.

Since almost everyone in the class had a test paper, the teacher started explaining the test paper on the spot in the first and second classes.

During the break after class in the evening, the class monitor Liu Hui came in panting from outside with a pile of history papers. He did not read out the names one by one and distribute the papers like the math teacher did, but personally delivered them to the students' seats.

Liu Hui is not tall and looks rather ugly. Well, maybe using the word ugly is an exaggeration.

But many students in the class felt a little psychologically nauseous when they saw him for the first time.

The big protruding forehead and thick, curled lips will make many people wonder: Oh my God! How can there be such an ugly person?
But after three years of watching it, everyone has gradually gotten used to it.

People also affectionately gave him the nickname "Longevity Star" based on his big forehead.

Since Liu Hui's grades were always at the bottom of the class, he always respected those with better grades:
"Song Yu, Mai Sui, you both scored 96 points, the highest in the class."

He then said to Li Heng, "Lao Heng, you scored 94 points in history, 1 point higher than Liu Yejiang. Keep it up!"

Li Heng took the test paper with a smile and asked, "Mr. Birthday, you are so powerful, do you know the scores of Xiao Feng and Luo Zhijie in the next class?"

Liu Hui patted his chest and said, "You call me the birthday man, how could I not know? Xiao Feng is 97, Luo Zhijie is 94."

Upon hearing these scores, Li Heng couldn't help but sigh. Damn, a top student is a top student. I feel pressured. I hope he can do well in Chinese and English, otherwise the special scholarship may be gone.

Just as he was secretly calculating his score, the long-awaited English teacher finally showed up.

Wang Runwen stood on the platform, clasped his hands, and said in his unique magnetic voice:

"Everyone be quiet. When I call your name, come up and get your test paper. If you need to go to the bathroom, your deskmate will pick it up for you."

"Mai Sui scored 100 points, Song Yu scored 100 points, Chen Lijun scored 98 points, Peng Yan scored 96 points, Sun Manning scored 95 points, Li Heng scored 95 points..."

When the whole class heard that Li Heng scored 95 points in English, they burst into laughter.

Everyone turned to look at Li Heng, their eyes filled with disbelief.

In the past, Li Heng's weakest subject was English. His score had never been above 85 since the subject was divided. Now, it has suddenly soared to 95. Many people could not adapt to it for a while.

Because English is a subject that many students can feel superior to Li Heng, and now it's suddenly gone, which makes people angry.

The one who was most angry was Liu Yejiang. Li Heng's score of 95 was equivalent to sending him directly to the eighteenth level of hell, where he would never be able to turn over.

Liu Yejiang, who was a little overwhelmed, gambled his last dignity and raised his hand to ask: "Teacher, did you see it wrong?"

Because of the scandal, Wang Runwen never liked this guy. He never called on him to answer questions in class. He would just glance at him coldly and say:
"Your test papers were all checked by the Grade 12 English teachers, and your scores were recorded by the vice-principal himself. If you have any questions, go to them."

After the basin of cold water was poured over him, Liu Yejiang felt weak all over, and his mind became clear. He realized that the teacher hated him very much, so he lay on the table and dared not say a word.

Wang Runwen continued reading: "Li Fang scored 94 points, Wang Shubin scored 92, Wang Lirong scored 92, Zou Aiming scored 92, Liu Yejiang scored 90..."

After handing out the papers, the English teacher came down and asked Li Heng, "Have you handed out all the papers?"

Li Heng replied: "I still lack Chinese."

The English teacher said, "Chinese is a little slower, but it should be fast. What's your total score in the five subjects?"

Li Henggang has already calculated: "496 points."

The English teacher asked him, "How many points do you think you'll get in Chinese?" This subject had a lot of subjective questions, and he was least sure about the score, so he could only shake his head and say, "It's hard to say, let's wait and see."

Hearing this, the English teacher asked Song Yu and Mai Sui: "What about you two? What's your total score in the five subjects?"

Song Yu said quietly: "486."

The English teacher turned to the wheat ear.

Mai Sui quickly calculated on the straw paper and looked up: "484 points."

Liu Li, who was standing behind him, took a deep breath and leaned over, gnashing his teeth as he spoke:

"I only scored 83 points in English. Li Heng, you won't be the first in the school, right?"

Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, Li Heng said modestly: "There are still Chinese textbooks that have not been distributed, and there are also Xiao Feng and Luo Zhijie next door."

Hearing this, the English teacher shook her long hair and said, "I'll go ask Teacher Yang."

After saying that, she left decisively.

Three minutes later, Wang Runwen came back and said with a smile: "Xiao Feng scored 5 points in 487 subjects, Luo Zhijie scored 476 points, Li Heng you can still get the first place."

When saying this, Wang Runwen's tone was not very sure.

After all, Li Heng's Chinese is just like his English, there is a gap between him and the top four students, and he is not that stable.

Xiao Feng, who is closest to him, is 9 points behind him, so Li Heng feels there is great hope.

But it's also a bit depressing.

He was so far ahead in math, but he was still caught up little by little.

If I hadn't been reborn, I would have scored around 84 or 85 in English based on my usual level, and I would have probably been overtaken.

Isn’t it unfair?

After deliberate publicity by Zhang Zhiyong, Zou Aiming and others, now classes 204 and 205, as well as all the teachers know about Liu Yejiang's bet with Ming Mingzhi.

Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Just like Zhang Zhiyong shouted at the back of the classroom: "Liu Yejiang, your total score in five subjects is exactly 5, which means death, death, death! This is because you are too arrogant, and God wants to kill you! Oh roar...!"

Zou Aiming smiled like a bridegroom, and then raised his head and howled, "Oh, hoo...!"

Top classes like 204 don't usually have many entertainment activities. The study is heavy and the pressure is too great. It's rare to see someone being funny, and many people laughed like pigs.

Liu Yejiang was so angry! He was so angry! His back teeth were almost broken! He clenched his right hand tightly under the table, his veins were exposed, and his brain was congested with blood, and he almost exploded. But amid the waves of laughter around him, he gradually lost his courage.

They said the Chinese test papers would be distributed at 3 pm, but I waited till the end of get out of class and still didn’t show up.

Wang Runwen was curious about who would be number one in the school this time, so he went to the Academic Affairs Office to inquire about the situation.

The answer I got was: the test papers had not been graded yet, and the names were sealed with staples, so they could not be seen.

In fact, Wang Runwen recognized Li Heng's handwriting and could find out which test paper was his without even looking at the name.

But considering that he had a scandal with his students and there were so many leaders and colleagues present at the scene, the English teacher decided not to do so and eventually gave up the idea.
