Someone hammered the table angrily. “It’s Class One again, Class One again!”
“Alas, we can’t blame them. We didn’t do well enough.”
“Don’t say that!”
“It’s the truth. Since the first year of high school, have we ever surpassed them?”
“Classmates, listen to me.” Ou Ye stood up. “Class One has always had the best resources in the school. If they were overtaken by us, would that make sense? Wouldn’t they feel ashamed? In the first year of high school, our class ranked in the middle out of fifteen classes, but now we’re second only to Class One, and we were only one point lower than them in terms of the average score last time. Compared to our past, we’ve done well enough.”
Upon hearing Ou Ye’s words, everyone was moved, but the frustration and disappointment in their hearts still couldn’t be dispelled.
It was like an endpoint that was already so close yet suddenly moved farther away, so of course they felt sad.
Sheng Yang looked at Fang Duo. “Why do they care so much about beating Class One?”
“Well, all of this began the first year of high school,” Fang Duo said, cupping her chubby face with both hands.
“In a sports meet in the first year of high school, our class competed with Class 1. Class 1 violated the rules, but the referees were biased and called them the winner. After the sports meet, instead of feeling ashamed, the students of Class One were extremely snotty and even looked down on us, saying, “The elite are elite, and junk are junk.”
After that, Class 1 and Class 7 became enemies.
At this time, their class teacher who was also their math teacher, Chen Lan, hurried in with a stack of exam papers.
Ou Ye looked at her. “Ms. Chen, you don’t have to comfort us. I’ve already comforted them. Too much comforting will only be counterproductive.”
Chen Lan looked confused. “Why would I comfort you?”
Then she understood instantly and pointed at them, “Oh…”
There was a lot of meaning in her tone. It seemed they hadn’t found out yet.
“Well, you didn’t do well on the exam this time and many students’ scores dropped.” Chen Lan suddenly turned serious. “Especially you, Ou Ye. As the math representative, your score’s never been below 145, but this time, you only got 142!”
Love well, whip well.
Everyone had different methods of teaching, and Chen Lan preferred to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.
For example, Ou Ye would become complacent if he was praised too much, so she had to push him every now and then.
In fact, she thought Ou Ye’s score was already pretty good.
Sure enough, when Ou Ye heard that, he withdrew his cheeky grin and lowered his head.
After the exam, he did get the feeling that the questions were too difficult this time.
Chen Lanyu said earnestly, “Ou Ye, you’re very smart. I have high hopes for you. But you failed to finish the last question this time. In fact, it didn’t go beyond the things we learned but examined our understanding in a special way. It shows you haven’t thoroughly understood the knowledge…”
The other students didn’t hear what Chen Lan said clearly. All they heard was “Blah blah blah” except for the first sentence.
“Oh, Ou Ye didn’t do well on this exam.”
“This time the average score of our class must’ve been pulled down.”
“Last time, the average score was just one point lower, but all our previous efforts have gone to naught now.”
“Okay. I’ve told you the bad news. Next, I’ll tell you the good news.” Chen Lan propped her hands on the podium and stared at the students who were obviously discouraged.
