On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 168 Someone even stronger?!

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Su Yuqing blushed again at the thought of climbing into someone's bed without a word late at night.

Last night I was mostly in a half-awake state, and I was also startled by a nightmare, so I didn't have much time to think.

Now, whenever she recalls it, she feels incredibly embarrassed.

After breakfast, the two went to school together.

Chen Mo is almost fully recovered today.

He's naturally in good health; in the past, he could just tough out a cold or fever for three to five days and then recover. Now, with medication and injections, he recovers even faster.

Today is Tuesday, the day everyone's exam results came out last week.

The weekend test papers were graded. On Monday, we just did a cross-check to see if there were any mistakes, and then tallied the scores.

The results will be released starting Tuesday.

Chen Mo had previously made a bet with He Xiaoyun: if he could get into the top ten in the grade, he could switch places.

He Xiaoyun, on the other hand, lowered the difficulty level to the top ten in the class.

Early in the morning, He Xiaoyun entered the classroom with a smile on her face.

Seeing that Chen Mo had actually come to class, she immediately went up to him to ask, "I heard from Yuqing that you caught a cold after rescuing someone from the river. How are you now?"

"I'm basically all better now, and I should be fully recovered by tomorrow," Chen Mo replied, wearing a mask.

"That's good, but next time you need to think things through more carefully and not act impulsively, okay? Saving people is a good thing, but the premise is that you can't get hurt yourself." He Xiaoyun still cares about her students.

Some teachers become increasingly indifferent to their students the longer they teach.

However, some teachers treat their students like their own children.

He Xiaoyun belongs to the latter category.

She is always very concerned about the students' well-being.

"I'll be more careful next time," Chen Mo nodded.

Back on the podium, He Xiaoyun coughed twice and said, "Everyone, please stop reading for a moment. The midterm exam results from last Friday are out. Next, I will read out the list of students in our class who made it into the top fifty in the grade."

This time, our performance was quite good. Out of the five classes in our senior year, totaling 200 students, thirteen from our class were ranked in the top fifty of the grade, which is above the average.

It was clear that He Xiaoyun was really happy; her smile never stopped when she talked about her achievements.

As a homeroom teacher, she naturally feels more proud when her students achieve better grades.

Soon He Xiaoyun began reading the list.

"I'll announce it from back to front," He Xiaoyun said with a smile, looking at a boy in the far right row, "Yang Wei, total score 645, ranking forty-ninth in the whole grade."

With a total score of 750, 645 is quite good. In total, only 105 points were deducted, which is about 25 points per point across the four papers: Chinese, Math, English, and Humanities/Science.

Although he ranked forty-ninth in the entire grade.

However, people rarely pay attention to the performance of those in the middle position.

Apart from Yang Wei, whose name was called by He Xiaoyun and who felt very proud, no one else paid much attention.

He Xiaoyun quickly continued to report her results.

The next three are all ranked between 40 and 50.

Nobody paid much attention to it.

There were still nine spots left, since He Xiaoyun had already mentioned that thirteen people had made it into the top fifty of the grade.

Everyone was curious about what rank their class's strongest student could achieve in the entire grade.

Even if they didn't achieve that score themselves, they're still part of a group. Having a standout student in their class makes them feel superior to students from other classes. The next three are students ranked 40th to 30th.

There are now six left.

There are two people ranked between 30th and 20th.

There are two people ranked between 20th and 10th.

"Li Yun, with a total score of 680, ranks eleventh in the grade."

When He Xiaoyun announced a total of eleven people, everyone suddenly felt a little uneasy.

The more people remain, the greater the chance of securing a high ranking.

Currently, only two students from my class have made it into the top ten, so the chances of getting into the top three are probably not very high.

Soon He Xiaoyun began announcing the names of the top ten finalists.

"Yang Jiayi, with a total score of 705, ranks seventh in the entire grade. Yang Jiayi's results this time are quite good. She is close to full marks in math and Chinese, and slightly weaker in English and science. However, it is not easy to get full marks in Chinese. Overall, it is already very good." He Xiaoyun smiled and praised a slightly short girl sitting in the middle row at the front of the classroom.

Yang Jiayi had already started to feel nervous when He Xiaoyun read out the students' grades.

She was quite certain that she had done very well on her math and Chinese exams, so she was eager to know exactly where she would rank in the top ten of her grade.

She never even thought she would fall out of the top ten.

And that's exactly what happened. She successfully entered the top ten in her grade, and even ranked seventh, which is quite an achievement.

The total score was only 45 points deducted. Averaging it over the four exams, that's about 11 points deducted per subject, which is a very small mistake.

"Yang Jiayi is seventh? Isn't there still one person who hasn't been announced yet? Is there someone stronger than her?!"

"That's strange. Yang Jiayi is the one with the best grades in our class, right? She only got seventh place. Who could possibly get higher than her?"

After talking about Yang Jiayi, He Xiaoyun finally began to announce the results of the last student.

At this moment, everyone was very curious about who could score higher than Yang Jiayi.

After all, Yang Jiayi's grades have consistently ranked among the top in her class.

Basically, no one has surpassed her.

She only ranked seventh this time, so who is better than her?
Generally speaking, some high schools will deliberately group high-achieving students into one class.

This resulted in some students in a certain class having exceptionally high grades, but the school didn't do that; the proportion of good students was roughly the same across all classes.

However, after learning and reflection, students who were originally at similar academic levels will gradually find themselves with different abilities.

Chen Mo's class's top student is only ranked seventh in the grade, which is clearly a significant gap compared to the top students in other classes.

Under normal circumstances, He Xiaoyun would never be able to laugh.

But this time it's different; this time someone stepped forward.

He even managed to get first place in his grade.

If she's unhappy, who is?

Just as all the students were filled with curiosity, Su Yuqing suddenly turned her head and glanced at Chen Mo.

If there's anyone in the class who can get better grades than He Jiayi, then besides Chen Mo and Su Yuqing, I can't think of anyone else.

Chen Mo used to be rather perfunctory in his studies and exams, and his grades hovered around the middle, basically just getting by. Su Yuqing used to think that he was just an average student.

But after seeing him do the problems that day, Su Yuqing changed her mind.
