However, today was a little different. Xu Fan, whose English was terrible, finished answering all the questions in just one hour after entering the examination room and taking out the test paper. Moreover, Xu Fan answered smoothly without any pauses.
The classroom bell rang, and Xu Fan was the first to hand in his paper. This exam was frustrating; even finishing early meant he wasn't allowed to go back, and could only sit there checking his work. But confident Xu Fan checked it once and found no problems. Without a word, he sat there and waited. As soon as get out of class ended, he handed in his paper and left the classroom.
"Brother Fan, how is it?" Zhao Feiyang, who had just run out, caught up with Xu Fan and asked.
"No problem." Xu Fan was overjoyed. He was determined to make a strong comeback in this exam and make those who had mocked him eat their words.
"Oh dear, I bombed my English test again." Zhao Feiyang looked gloomy and depressed.
"Let's go, it's my treat to celebrate you bombing your English exam." Xu Fan patted Zhao Feiyang on the shoulder without saying a word and they went to eat together.
"The results of our monthly exam are out." In the classroom, the homeroom teacher, holding a stack of test papers and a report card, said calmly.
"Teacher, how many students from our class made the cut?" someone asked. He seemed to have done quite well on the test and was naturally happy, hence the question.
"The total score is 1050 points. Our class has 39 students in the top 50 of the whole grade. Only eleven students in the class did not make it into the top 50." The homeroom teacher was a little worried. This is an elite class. The results are usually about the same each time, with about 40 students making it into the top 50 of the whole grade.
"Ugh! Teacher, is Xu Fan dragging our class down? Let him transfer to another class!" The student looked at Xu Fan's seat and shouted disdainfully.
The homeroom teacher glared at him, but ignored him and continued, "But I'm very happy that all three of the top students in the entire grade are from our class."
"Teacher, hurry up and tell us the results!" Liu Zineng, the so-called class monitor, was a little impatient and shouted anxiously. Perhaps he was confident in his own performance, or perhaps he was afraid that Xu Fan's miracle would really happen, because Xu Fan always seemed so calm.
"Liu Zineng, total score 954, third in the grade; Xiao Zihan, total score 1012, second in the grade." The homeroom teacher looked at Xiao Zihan with great satisfaction. Every time, his grades were among the top in the grade. In the first few times, he was first every time. At the beginning, he was second because Xu Fan was there.
"Teacher, who's number one?" Zhao Feiyang shouted loudly, as if he had just eaten some excrement. The whole class immediately looked at their homeroom teacher, because being number one in the entire grade was really important.
If it's Xu Fan, then the class monitor is Xu Fan again; if not, then Xu Fan will never come back.
"First in the entire grade, with a total score of 1039, just 11 points away from the final score, breaking our school's new record once again. This time, his English score is an amazing 146!" The homeroom teacher couldn't contain his excitement as he spoke. In his heart, Xu Fan was always so competitive. This time, Xu Fan rewrote his life.
"The top student in the entire grade is Xu Fan from our class. Let's give him a round of applause!" The homeroom teacher looked at Xu Fan excitedly, his eyes filled with undisguised expectation. This former genius had gone through so many hardships and had finally regained his vitality.
"Oh my god, it really is you." Zhao Feiyang shook Xu Fan in disbelief. Xu Fan smiled gently and stood up. There was no applause, only silence, a constant silence. But the homeroom teacher's applause was incredibly loud.
No, there's also Xiao Zihan's.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Realizing what was happening, Zhao Feiyang clapped enthusiastically in response to the applause, feeling extremely excited.
"I'm back. I want to tell you all that I, Xu Fan, am not weak." Xu Fan slowly glanced at everyone in the classroom and slowly uttered these words.
Those students who said Xu Fan was dragging the team down must be wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground.
The applause was continuous, but to Xu Fan, it sounded so fake and unreal. However, none of that mattered. He just wanted to show those who called him a waste just how useless they were.
"Impossible." Liu Zineng shook his head, muttering to himself in disbelief. Xu Fan glanced at him disdainfully, ignored him, and instead spoke softly to the homeroom teacher.
"Teacher, I'm still the class monitor starting today." Despite the commanding tone, the homeroom teacher wasn't angry. Instead, she nodded and gave a thumbs-up in approval.
The homeroom teacher had always been like this, just like Xiao Zihan, always believing in him. The homeroom teacher was also a benefactor to Xu Fan. Xu Fan looked at Xiao Zihan. It was good that Xiao Zihan was also looking at him. They smiled knowingly and lowered their heads.
Perhaps for Xu Fan now, being the class monitor doesn't seem so important anymore. However, since he has insisted on taking back the position, he is determined to lead the class well again, no matter how much those who looked down on and mocked him in the past. This is a class.
Xu Fan is magnanimous and doesn't hold grudges against petty people. If they still want to cause trouble, then let them try. I think no one has the face or the morale to do so anymore.
Everything returned to silence, as if everything had been revived, returning to the way it was before. In the blink of an eye, it was like a dream. The sober remained sober, while the intoxicated were intoxicated in their hearts as well.
Xu Fan didn't go back to the way he was before; he proved his existence anew.
"Class dismissed, students. The monthly exam is over. Our school has an event this month that requires each class to perform two programs. Everyone, please sign up enthusiastically. Class monitor Xu Fan will do a little selection, and then we'll organize this competition properly." After the bell rang, the homeroom teacher stood up, glanced at the students in the class, and then looked at Xu Fan before speaking.
"Understood, teacher, I will organize it well." Xu Fan nodded. He had done many such activities before, and he was very excited to be back, so he was determined to do even better this time.
The afternoon sun was sultry. After finishing his meal, Xu Fan strolled around the campus alone. Although it was autumn, the sunlight still shone down on the earth, and his back was damp with sweat.
Quiet, quiet. Xu Fan undoubtedly felt very quiet at this moment. Alone, he didn't have to do anything and just walked quietly.
"Xu Fan." A beautiful and melodious voice filled Xu Fan's ears, it was extremely pleasant to hear, and he turned around.
She had a devilishly hot figure, long, jet-black hair that shimmered softly in the sunlight, and a light blue thermal top that accentuated her perfect physique. Her beautiful legs were encased in jeans that hugged her legs tightly, making her look stunning and absolutely gorgeous.
"Senior sister!" Xu Fan exclaimed in surprise, almost not recognizing her; she was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Hehe, what's wrong with you all by yourself?" The beautiful and pretty senior student said, gently swaying a parasol in her hand.
"No, just taking a walk." Xu Fan smiled awkwardly. However, Xu Fan was not as shy as before. He remembered that when he first came to high school, he would blush like an apple when talking to girls.
"By the way, senior, I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been?" Xu Fan smiled slightly, then suddenly thought to himself, "Senior's name is Mi Qin. Someone wrote a poem for her: 'A faint sound of a zither rises, carrying with it a sense of melancholy and uncertainty. A fairy descends to earth, captivating all who behold her; a smile that could topple cities and intoxicate emperors.'"
"Let's go sit over there for a while, and I'll tell you slowly." Miqin smiled gently, without explaining, and suddenly looked at a milk tea bar in front of her and said, every glance making people gasp.
Xiao Zihan was the most beautiful girl in the first year of high school, and Mi Qin was the most beautiful girl in the second year. They were truly neck and neck, but... Ugh, Xu Fan suddenly felt annoyed at his shameless thoughts, actually comparing the two of them.
Nodding, the two walked side by side toward the milk tea bar.
(End of this chapter)
===Chapter 1016 A Dream You Can't Wake From===
A faint aroma of milk tea wafted between the two. Xu Fan was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, and his hair was somehow sticking up slightly, giving him a slightly roguish look. However, at this moment, no one would notice.
"Long time no see, senior. You've become much prettier." After thinking for a while, I couldn't help but compliment you. It would have been really better to say what was on my mind.
"Hey, do you mean I wasn't pretty before?" Xiao Zihan's eyes widened, and a cold glint flashed in them. Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat. Looking at her slightly pouting lips, he thought, "Well, she's pretty now."
"Uh, no, no, how could that be? Senior, you're naturally beautiful. All the boys at Lanyang Middle School are smitten with you. I'm not going to say anything more." Xu Fan quickly explained, but then Xiao Zihan started to pinch his ear, and Xu Fan quickly stopped himself.
"Hmph." Although Xiao Zihan was a sophomore in high school, she was the same age as Xu Fan, only a few months older. Xu Fan still clearly remembered the day he first arrived at high school.
Beautiful upperclassmen stood at the school gate to greet the new students. Xu Fan, dragging a large suitcase, glanced at the gate and walked inside. However, in the distance, a beautiful woman, her figure light and airy, slowly approached. Xu Fan, carrying his large suitcase, didn't see her at all.
The beautiful woman, who was searching for something, also failed to notice Xu Fan's presence.
Therefore, bump!
A scene straight out of a TV drama unfolded: the two collided. This scene was so melodramatic! Xu Fan, who was bent over, bumped his head into the chest of the beautiful senior. "Ouch!" The senior let out a soft groan, "It hurts a little." Xu Fan was startled and immediately looked up. Although he had bumped into something soft and comfortable, he really hadn't done it on purpose.
The two had barely said "yes" when their lips were only three centimeters apart when Xu Fan lifted his head, and the distance between their bodies almost made them kiss. It was a dramatic scene, a melodramatic scene straight out of a TV drama, that this young man had actually encountered. Oh God, how could this be!
Thud! The suitcase fell to the ground. Xu Fan thought to himself that he was doomed and quickly took a step back. The beautiful woman was so frightened that she almost broke out in a sweat and also took a step back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The beautiful woman's chest was still trembling, but lost in her own thoughts, she seemed completely oblivious to the fact that she had been wronged, and quickly apologized.
Xu Fan was so frightened he almost lost his soul. His face turned as red as the Chinese national flag. This guy is too patriotic! He just bumped into a beautiful woman, why is he so red?
Realizing what had happened, Xu Fan quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the beautiful woman. He hated himself for blushing before he could even speak. Xu Fan could feel his face burning; even the beautiful woman wasn't as shy as him.
"Are you a freshman?" The pretty girl smiled slightly when she saw Xu Fan's appearance. Her face was also slightly flushed, but compared to Xu Fan, she was nothing.
"Ugh!" After his face flushed slightly, Xu Fan turned around, picked up his suitcase, nodded, and still didn't know what to do.
"Call me senior." A smile appeared on the beautiful woman's lips as she treated our shy protagonist, Xu Fan, quite rudely. This was truly taking advantage of his vulnerability!
"Ah," Xu Fan, not having reacted yet, blurted out, "Senior sister."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about?" The fragrant aroma of milk tea wafted through the air. Xiao Zihan smiled as she looked at Xu Fan, but he was lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.
"Ah!" Xu Fan instantly snapped out of his reverie, no longer recalling the past. He gave an awkward smile, remembering how he had blushed back then out of patriotism, but things were different now.
What were you thinking about just now?
"Think about how we met."
Swoosh! A blush flashed across Xiao Zihan's face as she shyly glared at Xu Fan. This guy used to be patriotic, but now he's so shameless.
"By the way, senior, what exactly were you doing all this time?" Xu Fan sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly tried to ease it.
"Nothing much, I just went to Xi'an for a training course for over a month. Hehe, finals are coming up soon, so I'll be back to school." Xiao Zihan smiled gently, seemingly enjoying his trip to Xi'an.
"Xi'an?" Xu Fan was a little surprised. Xi'an was one of the locations where the music system last appeared, which was one of the tasks that the old man had given me.
"Yeah, what's wrong? Xi'an is great!" Xiao Zihan smiled with a hint of reminiscence. If he wasn't mistaken, he should have gained a lot from this trip to Xi'an.
"It's nothing, haha. So how was your trip to Xi'an?" Xu Fan subconsciously continued the conversation.
"Yes, it's really great. It's a great memory for me!" As expected, Xiao Zihan's experience was quite good. You could tell from his laughter. Xu Fan suddenly realized that Xiao Zihan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, had matured a lot. He remembered that when they first met, she was like a child who had lost her soul.
"Tell me about this good news!" Xu Fan asked softly, partly to hear the story from his senior, and partly to see if there was any information that would benefit him. After all, Xiao Zihan had been to Xi'an, while he himself had never even left J City.
"Well, if anything comes up, then you'll be one of my tutors, pfft." Xiao Zihan took a sip of his fragrant milk tea and said, but then he burst out laughing. I wonder what he was thinking that made him so funny.
"What's wrong, senior?" Xu Fan was exasperated. He hadn't even explained the situation yet, and he'd already burst out laughing.
"Ahem, it's nothing. Um, Xiao Fan!" Xiao Zihan said earnestly, "Don't blame me if you laugh later!"
"Uh, ah, oh, don't worry, sis, I have great self-control." Xu Fan nodded very seriously, his sincerity was so damn sincere.
"My tutor is an elderly man, around 60 years old. He's a history tutor, and he's very knowledgeable. He knows a lot about our country's history. No matter what it is, as long as it's related to history, he can explain it to you in great detail." Xiao Zihan nodded, calming her anxiety slightly as she spoke.
“A history teacher in his sixties, that’s because he’s so knowledgeable!” Xu Fan interjected, but when the topic turned to the elderly and history, a thought struck him.
"Then let's not talk about it. You know, he has a habit. Every time he comes to class, he always sits on the stool, wiggles his butt, like an ugly woman showing off her butt. And, he'll cough once and say something." Xiao Zihan got excited and actually imitated the posture, wiggling her butt. Speechless, she sat there coughed once and then said something very shocking.
"Ahem, ahem, today we're going to board a Santana plane and travel to a corner of history. Don't you all feel like you've been elevated to heaven?" Xiao Zihan finished speaking and laughed heartily.
Pfft! Xu Fan almost spat out his milk tea. The posture and tone were just too outrageous. Putting aside what was going on with the old man, Xiao Zihan's imitation alone was hilarious.
"Sis, is this the history teacher?" Xu Fan asked, his eyes wide as he smiled along with Xiao Zihan.
"Yes, once after class, he accidentally dropped a jade pendant from his pocket. The pendant had the words 'spiritual light' written on it. He squinted, leaned on his handrail, bent down to pick it up, glanced at his classmates, and said something that I still remember vividly. Can you guess what it is?" Xiao Zihan spoke with great enthusiasm, her happy expression reflecting how long it had been since she and Xu Fan had last met. Naturally, they got along very well, and their relationship had been excellent since they first met.
Boom! Xu Fan's mind was almost instantly bombarded. A jade tablet, two words, spiritual light, an old man, well-versed in history, my god, could it be that the music system is really with Xiao Zihan's tutor? Xu Fan pondered, trying to sort out his thoughts.
Although Xu Fan was thinking about these things, he still clearly heard what his senior asked him to guess, so he blurted out, "He said he needs to go to the bathroom?"
"Pfft! Almost there. He said his stomach hurt earlier, and a brilliant idea popped into his head, so he pulled up a sign. Hahaha, isn't he hilarious?" Xiao Zihan could tell he was very happy. As long as he was happy, that was Xu Fan's thought.
"Such an interesting teacher, okay, when can you introduce me to him, so I can also witness the master's brilliance?" Xu Fan's heart was boiling. Perhaps this was an opportunity, perhaps he really was in the hands of that teacher, then he would have even more clues.
If I could get to know that teacher, perhaps I could confirm it, and perhaps I could even obtain the music system.
“Sure, when can we go to Xi’an together? I’ll introduce you to him. My teacher and I have a pretty good relationship.” Xiao Zihan said without any hesitation.
"Really? That's great!" Xu Fan was overjoyed. No matter what he did, his principle was to take it one step at a time and complete it step by step.
Now that he has completed the first step, with his achievements back and such good news, he has taken a small step. However, Xu Fan also knows that this step is really small, too small for his future. But Xu Fan knows that he will not be afraid of hardship, he will keep going and persevere.
"It's getting late, and I have class this afternoon, so I'll be going now," Xu Fan said, glancing at the time. He realized it was getting late and he still had class in the afternoon.
"Okay, goodbye then. This is my phone number, xxxxxxxxxxx, keep in touch!" Xiao Zihan gave her phone number to Xu Fan, who nodded, wrote it down, and left. Actually, he did have Xiao Zihan's number, but she had changed it, so he didn't know it now.
As Xu Fan walked out of the milk tea bar, a slight smile appeared on his lips. It was a good thing to see Xiao Zihan today, and it was even more exciting to hear the news!
However, Xu Fan's smile only lasted a few minutes. On his way to the classroom, he walked to a corner behind a teaching building.
