When he came, the stars fell

Chapter 107 Don't Force Your Face To Smile Anymore
On the last day of November, in the gloomy weather covered with dark clouds, Lao He announced the ranking of the monthly exam for the third grade.

"In this ranking, there are quite a few people who have changed a lot. You should be mentally prepared."

After finishing speaking, Lao He clicked to open the ranking list, and the students' eyes were fixed on the projector screen, searching for their names.

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't fall out of age fifty."

"It's over, I'm 56, and where did the dark horse squeeze me down?"

"It's one place better than last time, I'm satisfied."

Zhang Chao, who was sitting in the last row, was satisfied after seeing his tenth place in his grade. He glanced up and down, turned his head and whistled to Qi Yu, "Not bad, [-]th place, your level is back again. Already."

"Of course." Qi Yu smiled, the bottom of his eyes was the unrestrained and unrestrained uniqueness of teenagers.

This time, he finally didn't disappoint his mother.

Supporting his head, he looked towards the front of the classroom again. Wherever he could see, Geng Mianmian was holding his head with his hands and staring at the projector.

Judging from the way she hugged her head, it's not hard to imagine the shock on her face at this moment.

"What's the matter, is it much worse than the last exam?"

Muttering something strange, Qi Yu looked for Geng Mianmian's name on the report card, and soon, he found it under him, No. 20.

Isn't that great?
If he remembered correctly, Geng Mianmian was ranked 22nd in the midterm exam, so this time he has improved.

Wait, is her action a surprise?It's not quite like that either.

His mind was gradually guessing in a strange direction, Qi Yu was just about to laugh at his brain circuit being led astray by Geng Mianmian, when she turned to look at Su Bai.

No way, could it be that Su Bai's grades were really a problem?

For the first half a minute, everyone was concerned about their grades, laughing and crying when they should, and after that, everyone had time to carefully analyze the complete report card.

Just as Qi Yu was looking at the report card again, exclamations rang out in the classroom.

"No way, Susu is not the first in grade this time?"

"Fuck, which dark horse took Susu's position?"

"It's a new classmate, Cheng Yan."

"And the English class representative."

English class representative: "Stop talking, I'm going to wonder if I'm cheating, otherwise how could I be on top of Susu."

It just so happened that Su Bai and Cheng Yan were sitting in the last few rows of the group by the window. For a moment, everyone in the classroom looked over.

Everyone looked at Cheng Yan, the first student in the new grade, who was expressionless, as if this was not something to be happy about.

Is this the calmness that a top student should have?
"Susu never passed the second exam when she entered the school, but this time she got third all of a sudden. I think she will be hit hard this time."

Zhang Chao's worried words came to his ears, Qi Yu then withdrew his cold gaze from Cheng Yan, and looked at Su Bai's state.

as usual.

There was a notebook for class on the table, with a pen in his hand, and he was copying the wrong questions, with a calm expression on his face, not as shocked as he had imagined.

Two days after the exam is the weekend, today is Monday, and the papers have only been handed out for two subjects, Chinese for the last two classes, and mathematics for this class just handed out by Su Bai.

The moment she got the math paper, Su Bai knew that she would not be able to get the first place this time, because her total math score did not reach [-].

It was within Su Bai's expectation that the English class representative ranked above her, but Cheng Yan got the first place in the grade, which somewhat surprised Su Bai.

While being surprised, he felt that there was nothing wrong. Although he didn't know the reason why Cheng Yan transferred, but the other party came from the high school attached to N University after all, so it's not surprising that his grades are good.

"Okay, you should have seen the ranking and the scores of each subject." Lao He turned off the report card, "Taking advantage of the class meeting time, let's briefly talk about everyone's situation, some people have improved a lot compared to last time , such as Qi Yu, Han Zhi..."

In this class meeting, Lao He didn't take up time to attend the class, mainly to analyze the recent learning situation of the students in the class, and also reminded some people who had regressed, but Su Bai was not among them.

"Susu, I'm coming."

As soon as Lao He left, Geng Mianmian ran over from his seat, and Su Bai's deskmate stepped aside very considerately, and did not forget to pat her on the shoulder, "Susu is in your hands."

Sitting on the chair, Geng Mianmian took out a bag of Orion pies, two bags of wafer biscuits, three chocolates, four lollipops from his pocket...

Seeing more and more things on the table, Su Bai couldn't help laughing: "Since when did you become Doraemon?"

"Amazing!" Geng Mianmian winked at Su Bai triumphantly, "I messed up a class."

These things were not all hers, some of them were stuffed secretly by her classmates who knew she was trying to comfort Su Bai.

"So did you listen to what the teacher said in class?"

"Ah, that shouldn't be very important, it's just to analyze the exam situation, I don't listen to it every time, it's okay."

Su Bai was a little helpless, "Okay, then you have to listen carefully when the papers are taught."

"Okay, I'll definitely listen." Geng Mianmian took a piece of chocolate and peeled it off, "Okay, stop talking about exams, eat something to have fun, come on, ah—"

Like coaxing a child, Geng Mianmian opened his mouth to demonstrate.

"It's so naive." Su Bai said so, still opening his mouth to let Geng Mianmian feed himself, "But are your hands clean?"

"It's not clean, but you've already eaten it." Before Su Bai could speak, Geng Mianmian ran away with a smile.

There was only 10 minutes between classes, and Geng Mianmian delivered food, and she didn't rush to chat with Su Bai at this time. She felt that to comfort someone, you don't have to pick out what it is, as long as the other person is happy.

The last class in the morning was English, and the English teacher was not as considerate as Lao He. She first praised Cheng Yan and the English class, and then directly said that Su Bai did not do well in the exam this time.

"...You actually made three mistakes in filling in the blanks this time. It's too inappropriate. You need to think about it carefully, do you hear me?" the English teacher asked standing beside Su Bai.

"I heard." Su Bai replied, his tone was normal, but the hand holding the pen tightened unconsciously.

Back home at noon, the first thing Bai Ruofang did was to ask Su Bai if his monthly exam results came in.

"I just heard Song Qi's mother talk about Song Qi's score. Tell me your score and let me compare."

Holding the rice bowl in his hand, the chopsticks stirred it randomly twice.

"Mom, I got the third grade in the exam this time."

"What?" Bai Ruofang stopped serving her soup, "The third grader? Are you kidding me?"

"No kidding, the third age, No.1 is six points higher than me, No.2 is two points higher than me."

Su Bai didn't look at Bai Ruofang, and after finishing speaking, he picked up a chopstick of rice and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.

"No, the third grade, how did you pass the exam? Did you make some new friends recently? I heard a few days ago that you went to drink milk tea with a boy last time? I thought you were about to take the exam, so I didn't say it Affect your mood." Bai Ruofang asked.

Drink milk tea with a boy?

Su Bai thought for a while, and knew that Song Qi's mother should have passed it on.

"It just didn't play well." Su Bai said lightly.

"You've never performed badly before, Su Bai, tell me, you probably have a boyfriend, right? Last time I heard that your friend Qi Yu did very poorly in the midterm exam because of falling in love. You can't be because of this, right?" Bai Ruofang asked.

"No, it's just abnormal performance." Su Bai insisted.

"Why did you perform abnormally? Is there something wrong with the classmates at school, and you went to help again? How many times have I said, you should spend more time studying, and don't spend too much time on..."

"Mom," Su Bai interrupted Bai Ruofang in a cold voice, "There's no need for any reason to perform abnormally, and it has nothing to do with my classmates."

It is obvious that there are not only classmates and friends who can affect her mood, but Bai Ruofang never thought of it.

"How could it be all right?" Bai Ruofang muttered, seeing that Su Bai's expression was not good, she didn't say much after all.

She put the soup in front of Su Bai, "It's okay, let's eat first."

Su Bai bit his lower lip, but finally slowed down his tone: "I will come back for the exam next time, don't worry."

"Okay, mom trusts you." Bai Ruofang pushed the food in front of her, "Eat more, and only when you are full can you have the energy to study hard."

Su Bai's heart froze, and he didn't even have the strength to refute.

Didn't sleep well during the lunch break, Su Bai sat in front of his desk, unable to calm down no matter what, his mind was full of everyone's shocked reaction when they learned that she passed the No.3 exam.

very annoying.

Randomly crumpling the page that had just been copied from the wrong test book, Su Bai closed his eyes and took two deep breaths before gradually calming down.

She flattened the paper again, closed the book, put it at the bottom of the schoolbag, and pressed other books on it.

If she couldn't study, she went to school early.

When you enter the school from the east gate, you can feel the quietness of the campus where there are no people.

Before she had gone far, there were footsteps behind her, moving forward at the same speed as her.

A little strange, Su Bai stopped and turned to look, Jiang Mo's face bumped into her vision.

Seeing that she had already found out, Jiang Mo walked two steps forward to her side, bent slightly, and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't send me away."

"You go to school so early?"

"Ah."

He came out not long after eating, bought something to eat, and wandered around the stationery store in Sandongdongmen, when he saw Su Bai passing by, he followed immediately.

"I heard you didn't get No.1 this time?" Jiang Mo asked.

Has it been passed to No.[-] Middle School?
Su Bai nodded, and looked at Jiang Mo with a smile: "Well, I got the third grade in the exam."

Staring at her for a few seconds, Jiang Mo said, "Okay, don't force yourself to smile."

"I do not have it."

Jiang Mo raised his hand and rubbed her head, "Why not, it's obvious to pretend."

"Really?" Su Bai smiled wryly, and when he lowered his eyes, he seemed to lean his head towards Jiang Mo's.

Regardless of whether he misunderstood it or not, in short, Jiang Mo kneaded for a while before withdrawing his hand.

"I shouldn't be happy about this. If it were me and someone took the first place in my grade, I would definitely be in a bad mood, and maybe I would wonder if I had become stupid," he said.

"You are a god of learning, of course you have to worry about being surpassed, but I am not, it is normal for me to be surpassed, it is no big deal..."

"You are Su Bai." Jiang Mo bent down and looked at her at the same level, "Although you have a good personality and popularity, like a close sister, but you are a student yourself, and of course you will be sad if your grades drop."

Obviously Jiang Mo wasn't very close, but Su Bai just felt that there was nowhere to hide his gaze.

"Well, I am indeed a little disappointed." Su Bai admitted.

"Then let's go." Jiang Mo said and walked forward.

"Where?"

"Go to your classroom to eat, and take a look at where you are in this exam." Jiang Mo said without looking back.

Su Bai let out an "ah" and was stunned for a few seconds before he trotted a few steps to catch up with Jiang Mo.

Because it was too early, there was no one in the classroom at this time.

After asking Su Bai and getting an affirmative answer, Jiang Mo sat at the same table as her.

He took out a box of macarons from his hat, opened it and put it in front of Su Bai. There were five different flavors in it.

"Here, let's eat."

"Has your hat grown into your pocket?"

Jiang Mo nodded seriously, "Make the best use of everything."

After finishing speaking, he turned his back to Su Bai, "There is still something inside, it's a bit deep, please help me get it."

"it is good."

He took out two pens from inside, and Su Bai handed them to Jiang Mo, but the other party shook his head, "Bring it to you, I accidentally bought too much."

Last time when Shen Huai'en was there, she thought Jiang Mo was a girly pen specially made for her.

But now looking at the slightly pink pen in his hand, combined with Jiang Mo's sentence "I bought too much", I silently wondered in my heart, Jiang Mo might not like this style of pen in the first place, right?
"Eat quickly, let me rub one too." Jiang Mo handed over a piece of paper, "Wipe your hands."

"It was you who bought it in the first place, why did you become a looter?"

"What I bought for you is yours."

Jiang Mo took a flavor that he thought Su Bai didn't like, took a bite, and felt so sweet in his heart.

He finished eating in two or three bites, and after Su Bai had finished eating, Jiang Mo stretched out his hand, "Bring me your paper for a look."

"and many more."

After taking his schoolbag, Su Bai dug out the wrong test book for each subject, opened it, and took out the papers inside.

When he took the paper, Jiang Mo took a second look at the crumpled book.

There was not much time at noon, Jiang Mo didn't read the entire paper, and only picked the wrong ones.

"This question type, I remember that you made part of it last time, and I also told you about it later."

"You filled in the English section wrong, right? The blanks in your article are the correct answers."

"The theme of the composition is similar to that of the last paper. If you change it according to the last narrative, the score should be higher than this."

Every time he read a copy, Jiang Mo pointed out Su Bai's problems.

He felt that the Chinese and math papers released by the third middle school this time should be based on the mid-term papers of the middle school attached to Normal University. Logically speaking, Su Bai did it once, so he should have done well in the exam.

"You did poorly in the exam not because you didn't know how to do it, but because you were careless."

Having come to such a conclusion, Jiang Mo looked at Su Bai, "Are you in a bad mood during the few days of the exam?"
