Chapter 32 This is a secret

Praise from the whole class?

It was you who thought I was not good enough, and now it is you who thinks I am good enough.

You have said all the good and bad things, what can I say?

Xu Zhe'an didn't really want to pay attention to Yang Minghui. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Teacher Yang, I noticed that everyone in the classroom was in a bad mood just now. This isn't a good idea."

In Yang Minghui's world, it is normal to use top students as a spur to others.

"You are quite modest, but I think appropriate praise is necessary, especially at a time like this."

Seeing Yang Minghui's unusual determination, Xu Zhe'an didn't want to refute anymore.

When we were students, being praised in public was a good thing for most people.

But it happened at this moment, even though just over ten minutes ago, I confidently told others that I didn't do well in the exam.

Uh... this is like roasting yourself on the fire.

"Then Teacher Yang, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Ask Jiang Yun to come over."

Yang Minghui focused his eyes on the computer screen and gave only one instruction.

When Xu Zhe'an left the office and returned to the classroom, he accidentally kicked the aluminum frame on the door threshold. The noise attracted those who were not paying attention to the scene to look back.

The looks they gave him were all as if they were asking what had happened, including Jiang Yun.

Sitting back in his seat, Xu Zhe'an poked Jiang Yun, pretending to be scolded, and said miserably:

"Sister Yun... Lao Yang wants you to go to the office."

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Yun felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly.

"What else could it be? Some scandal. They said they wanted me to keep my distance from you."

After Xu Zhe'an finished speaking, he sighed, feeling helpless.

Jiang Yun did not feel worried about this, but comforted her:

"Just tell me, we are innocent and not afraid of these things. I will go and take a look first."

Then she left her seat and walked towards the office.

Xu Zhe'an's eyes followed her back, and his heart skipped a beat. After all, lying comes with a price.

Feeling guilty, he lowered his head to look at the paper with Jiang Yun's annotations, not noticing that the person at the table in front of him was looking back at him.

"Xu Zhe'an, is the teacher asking you to do this because of your grades?"

The voice sounded a bit worried. Xu Zhe'an raised his head and searched carefully, but still couldn't remember who it was. He could only reply perfunctorily:
"I spoke briefly about other things."

"Have you seen the results?"

When the girl at the front desk mentioned the word "grades", her anxiety was mixed with concern.

"The transcript will be handed out soon. I only took a quick look at it and couldn't really see it clearly."

Xu Zhe'an actually saw the results of quite a few people, but he couldn't quite match the names, so he simply responded by saying he didn't know.

"Ok."

It can be seen that everyone is very concerned about the test results. Every person in the class has been carefully selected.

From the first year to the third year of high school, classes will be re-arranged every semester.

If you can do it, go ahead; if you can’t, go down.

In addition, in high school, everyone basically only plays with those they are close to, and as a result, small, unequal groups are formed.

Take Jiang Yun as an example, her network of relationships only includes Xu Zhe'an.

So even if some people have stayed for a semester, there may still be a situation where their names and faces cannot be matched.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yun came back, and the first thing she did was to pinch the flesh around Xu Zhe'an's waist.

Because the classroom was relatively quiet, Xu Zhe'an didn't dare make any sound even though he was in pain.

When he looked at Jiang Yun, she glared at him and whispered angrily:

"You liar."

"Where can I have it?"

Xu Zhe'an wanted to argue, but was pinched by Jiang Yun again.

"Do you know how embarrassed I am?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her face quickly turned red.

Xu Zhe'an didn't have the ability to see and hear from afar, so of course he didn't know what she talked about with Yang Minghui in the office.

"So... Sister Yun, what did you say?"

"It's all your fault! The first thing I said when I walked in was to explain that we had nothing to do with each other, but then..."

Jiang Yun turned her head away angrily and didn't want to explain to him anymore.

It’s not a big deal. At least I was very happy when I saw his results.

Just when Xu Zhe'an wanted to ask further questions, Yang Minghui walked into the classroom.

When everyone saw the head teacher coming, they stopped what they were doing and looked up at the podium.

Yang Minghui held up a piece of paper and went straight to the point:

"The results are out, and I'm sure many people overestimated them."

As he spoke, he paused.

Some people took advantage of this opportunity to start whispering with their desk mates and people around them.

"Be quiet and wait for me to finish."

Yang Minghui patted the podium, exuding the pressure of a class teacher.

"Compared to last time, our class's average score dropped significantly this time, and the gap with Class 3 has narrowed to less than points."

As soon as Yang Minghui finished speaking, Lin Songyuan, who was sitting in front, muttered:

"It's going to be difficult this time."

But he seemed to have forgotten that he had a loud voice. Although his voice was not loud, even Xu Zhe'an in the second to last row could hear it, so Yang Minghui naturally heard it clearly.

"What if this is the difficulty of the college entrance examination? Your opponents are not just Class 1, Class 2, or even the entire grade, but over 400,000 test takers across the province."

Yang Minghui looked at Lin Songyuan with dissatisfaction, thinking that he was a bit sensational, and criticized him.

Xu Zhe'an had no time to take care of the above matters, but was chatting with Jiang Yun on the draft book.

For the vast majority of people, ideological education alone is completely useless.

Compared with the agreement between Xu Zhe'an and Xu Zhe'an, the effect is minimal.

At the most innocent age, making an agreement with the person you love to apply to the same city or university is like taking stimulants.

Even those who are not serious about studying will work extra hard at this time.

Xu Zhe'an, who regained Jiang Yun's forgiveness, began to tease her again and wrote on the paper:
[Xu]: Do you want to go on a 'date' with Qianqian after school?

[Jiang]: Speak properly!
[Xu]: How about having a meal and singing a song?
Xu Zhe'an looked at Jiang Yun expectantly.

[Jiang]: Are you free and have nothing to do?

[Xu]: What if my mother said that?
If I invited her unilaterally, Jiang Yun might go, but it was most likely that she would not go. There was no doubt that she could not allow herself to indulge herself.

But if her mother proposed it, she would at most hesitate and then choose to accept it.

Xu Zhe'an wanted to see what Jiang Yun had written, but she held the paper tightly. After she finished writing, she pretended nothing had happened and pushed the draft book towards him.

[Jiang]: Let’s talk after class.

With these four words, Xu Zhe'an knew that she had agreed.

He glanced up slightly at Yang Minghui on the podium, his saliva splattering everywhere. The people sitting in the first row near the podium leaned back as far as they could. This kind of thing is inevitable. When people start talking about reason, they get more and more excited and lose sight of the details.

"You must understand the teachers' good intentions and not relax in the last 20 days. There is a dark horse in our class this time."

After listening to the lecture for more than ten minutes, everyone looked obviously bored, but when they heard about the dark horse, many people looked confused and looked around.

Everyone is smart and sensitive to this. After a brief search, they locked their attention on Jiang Yun and Xu Zhe'an.

Seeing their quick response, Yang Minghui simply revealed the answer:

"Everyone should learn more from Xu Zhe'an. He went from 7th to 5th and then to 2nd in two exams. He scored 702 on what you call a difficult question. So the difficulty of the questions is not the only factor."

After he finished speaking, the classroom burst into warm applause.

Xu Zhe'an, who was lying on the table, had to sit up straight. He said it didn't matter, but when the moment really came, he couldn't help but feel uncontrollable excitement.

So I couldn't help but stand up, smile and nod at everyone to express my gratitude.

"I won't waste your time. If you have any questions, you can come to the office and ask the teachers of the respective subjects."

Yang Minghui achieved his goal and left in the same hurry as he came.

As soon as the head teacher left, several friends who had a good relationship with Xu Zhe'an shouted his name in different places in the classroom, but their voices were not loud.

In their eyes, Xu Zhe'an has always been focused on happiness. Compared with doing other things, the effort he puts into studying is very little. Simply by devoting himself to learning new lessons and practicing properly, he can reach a level that is unattainable for them.

The characteristic of Class 3 is overall balance. Jiang Yun, who was once the first, can leave the third place and those following it nearly 30 points ahead.

Several friends believe that Xu Zhe'an's rapid progress is closely related to Jiang Yun, thus proving the fact that the two are really together.

After he answered the question on the left, he was busy with the right. Jiang Yun beside him couldn't stand it anymore and gently pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Low-point."

After the others noticed this subtle movement, they stopped talking to Xu Zhe'an.

"Sister Yun, it turns out you've been living this kind of life before."

Xu Zhe'an said with emotion that Jiang Yun was really praised from her freshman year to her senior year of high school, and all the teachers liked her very much.

"Don't be so complacent, okay? If you fall down suddenly, you'll get hurt badly."

Jiang Yun softly advised him that she believed in praising when it was necessary and then being humble and not impatient.

For arrogant people, being first is a great honor.

But you can't just take it. If you can't keep it, especially for those who hold it for a long time, there will be psychological pressure.

"No, no, how could this happen with Teacher Jiang here?"

Even if Jiang Yun didn't remind him, Xu Zhe'an would not get cocky, after all, he had seen many storms.

At this age, if you say you earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, people will at most say "awesome", and some may even think you are relying on your family.

But grades are different. As long as you don’t cheat, everyone will regard them as a goal to be surpassed at a certain stage.

No one will remember the second place unless it is always the second. Xu Zhe'an was given such a title before. Now that he has gotten rid of it, it is understandable that he fell down with joy.

After the first class, many people wanted to learn from Xu Zhe'an, but because Jiang Yun was sitting there, they could only watch from afar.

"We'll have dinner outside this afternoon. My mom made it clear two days ago."

Jiang Yun closed the collection of wrong questions, pouted and said in a low voice:
"Xu Zhe'an, could you please keep your voice down a bit?"

She signaled with her eyes that the person in front heard her, and the girl at the front desk immediately leaned forward when she noticed her, but the size of the classroom was fixed, and the distance between the front and back desks was also fixed.

Xu Zhe'an smiled brightly:
"I will be responsible."

After hearing this, Jiang Yun wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Words like outspoken and shameless kept flashing through her mind, but she just couldn't put it into words.

"So are you going?"

Xu Zhe'an actually hoped that the scandal could be bigger, so that everyone would know about his relationship with Jiang Yun, which would reduce the possibility of someone targeting her.

"I'll go, but please don't mention it again."

After Jiang Yun agreed, she lay on the table to hide her embarrassment, her eyes constantly searching outside, fearing that someone was spying on them.

Compared to home, Xu Zhe'an prefers the classroom.

The reason is very simple. There is no chance to tease her at home without restraint, and she will be beaten. She dare not lose her temper in the classroom, and basically will not care about it after returning home.

The study time the previous day was actually quite slow. After Xu Zhe'an had a quick chat in the morning, he didn't say anything similar again. He spent the whole day with Jiang Yun checking for gaps and complementing each other.

The class ends at 6 pm.

Xu Zhe'an carried Jiang Yun's schoolbag without hesitation and walked with her among the crowd of people leaving school.

According to Zhong Yuan's arrangement, he was to take Jiang Yun directly to the restaurant. The location was still the same one as last time, but the difference was that this time they chose a private room.

As soon as he entered the house, he said anxiously:

"Sister Yun, go change your clothes quickly."

Jiang Yun was a little confused.

"Weren't you able to get in last time wearing your school uniform?"

Faced with this novel train of thought, Xu Zhe'an didn't know how to explain it to her for a moment.

"That's what your Aunt Zhong asked. I understand. She thinks it would make her look old if we went in school uniforms."

"oh oh."

Jiang Yun actually believed his fabricated excuse and walked straight towards her room.

In fact, Xu Zhe'an didn't want to wear school uniform because it was a bit eye-catching and would ruin the atmosphere.

After changing his clothes, he put on his schoolbag and put the gift for Jiang Yun in it.

As for the gift prepared by Zhong Yuan, I'd better wait until I get home in the evening to give it to her, as I can't try on clothes in the hotel.

After Jiang Yun finished packing, the two of them quickly left home.

But she was very curious why Xu Zhe'an suddenly carried his own schoolbag. Since the first exam, Xu Zhe'an always put things in her schoolbag.

Sitting in the taxi, Xu Zhe'an put his schoolbag aside. There were three seats in the back row, and he could use the bag to occupy one, so he could naturally sit very close to Jiang Yun.

"Sister Yun, I see you look tired. Do you want to rest for a while? It will take half an hour to get there."

As he said this, he shrugged his shoulders.

How could Jiang Yun not know what he was thinking? She waved her hand and refused:

"It's hot, I won't lean on it."

Seeing that she was not fooled, Xu Zhe'an had to give up and complained in his heart:

The air conditioning in taxis in 2013 was really bad.

He opened the car window as wide as possible, but this was Jiangcheng, where summer was like a furnace, with waves of heat coming in waves.

Jiang Yun, who hadn't heard him speak for more than ten minutes, turned her head and looked at him with a serious expression, mistakenly thinking that he was unhappy.

Then he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes and said:

"Xu Zhe'an, I have a question. If you answer it correctly, I'll give you 10 minutes."

If she hadn't mentioned it, Xu Zhe'an wouldn't have thought about it again.

But since he said it, he was naturally happy.

"go ahead."

Jiang Yun turned sideways and pointed at the schoolbag behind Xu Zhe'an.

"What's in it?"

Hearing the question, Xu Zhe'an shook his head.

"It's a secret."
