But soon, she realized that things were not as simple as she had imagined.
“Which of you are the new student? Stand up!”
A man whose head was balding on top walked in. His face was fierce, and just from his appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was a teacher.
After entering the class, he scanned the class and asked Gu Xiao to stand up.
Gu Xiao did as he said.
“I saw your academic results. Logically speaking, you’re not worthy of entering this school at all.”
The classroom was silent. No one dared to speak.
…..
“I heard that you have a good relationship with Chu An, right? You’re another one with connections. Who knows, you’re another one who might have made some kind of deal with a rich person.”
There were whispers in the class, and Gu Xiao felt uncomfortable.
What was the meaning of saying this? If they really wanted to investigate, many people in this class had connections.
However, the other party was a teacher after all, so Gu Xiao still had to try her best to respect him.
“Teacher, although my foundation is not good, 1 will work hard.”
The teacher glared at her and waved a hand at her, telling her to sit down.
During class, Gu Xiao realized that this teacher did not know how to teach at all. He had only read out the lesson according to the teaching materials, and there was no content at all. She had not learned anything from the entire class.
However, the students were all numb. Some of them were even sleeping at the back.
Gu Xiao finally understood that most of the students here did not want to study hard.
She turned to look at Zhou Luo again. She was looking at the precious merchandist of celebrities.
Gu Xiao sighed.
Only after class ended did the class recover from the dead silence in the classroom.
“Gu Xiao, someone’s looking for you.” A classmate stood at the door. Gu Xiao thought it was Chu An and left without asking further.
In the end, it was Ji Yao.
“Thank you, classmate. I have something to say to Student Gu. Can you leave first?”
The student who called for her nodded. No one had said anything about the school forum, but everyone knew very well that Gu Xiao and Ji Yao’s relationship was very bad. However, Ji Yao’s family background was very strong, so no one dared to go against her.
After the student left, Ji Yao retracted her friendly smile and stared fiercely at Gu Xiao.
“What’s the matter?” Gu Xiao said calmly.
“Do you like the class 1 arranged for you?” Ji Yao fiddled with her hair and did not look at Gu Xiao directly.
“Not too bad. So you were the one who arranged it for me. Thank you.” Gu Xiao knew how to arouse Ji Yao’s anger and said this on purpose.
As expected, Ji Yao exploded. “Gu Xiao, I’m warning you, drop out of school quickly.”
Gu Xiao was really speechless. It was fine for her to be targeting her on the show, but why did she have to target her when she came to school? Although she, Gu Xiao, was not afraid of trouble, Ji Yao’s pestering still made her very frustrated.
“I’m not dropping out.”
“What right do you have to come here to study? Isn’t it just because Chu An has a good relationship with you?”
“Oh, still not dropping out.” Gu Xiao couldn’t be bothered with her. She took out the vocabulary book Chu An had made for her from her pocket and memorized it.
Among her subjects, Gu Xiao’s worst subjects were English and Mathematics, so Chu An placed great importance on these two subjects and requested that she learn them when she was free.
“Alright, how about we make a bet?”
Gu Xiao was so angry that she almost laughed. What reason was there for to agree to a bet with her? However, she was also very curious about what Ji Yao wanted to bet with her, so she asked, “What’s the bet?”
“Mid-term exams. If you do better than me in one of your subjects, 1’11 swap classes with you. If you don’t do any better than me, you’ll drop out of school. How about that?”
To be honest, Gu Xiao did not dare to take her up on her bet.
Although Ji Yao’s results were not as good as Chu An’s, she was often ranked in the top three of the level, and her results were almost all full marks. As for Gu Xiao’s current results, her Chinese was not bad, but she could only manage a pass in English and Mathematics.
If she rashly agreed to compete with her in results, she might lose.
However, Gu Xiao still agreed.
For no other reason than to prove herself.
Moreover, her current class was very bad, and the teachers were also very bad. It was better for her to go home and have Chu An teach her.
Ji Yao was clearly surprised that Gu Xiao would accept this bet. She was a little shocked, but she quickly rejoiced.
She was so stupid that she even dared to accept such a bet.. How could she be smart enough to defeat her?
