He turned to look at the trophy on the podium. Everyone swallowed nervously.
Darn, we forgot to take down the trophy.
They kept feeling that Huo Jinyan was looking at the trophy with an unpleasant expression, and they were afraid that the trophy would end up smashed on the ground in the next moment.
However, Huo Jinyan walked over and glanced at the trophy. Then, he gently picked it up and placed it on the side of the podium. His movements were quite gentle, and he did not express too much emotion.
Lu Ning looked at him and pursed her lips slightly.
Huo Jinyan took his textbook and began his lesson.
During his cla.s.s, everyone was tense. No one would ever doze off during Huo Jinyan’s cla.s.s.
However, it was also clear that the English grades of everyone in Cla.s.s 9 had improved this semester.
When the bell rang, Huo Jinyan put away his textbook, but this time he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stood on the podium and looked down. “Did anyone take the initiative to sign up for the English speaking event this weekend?”
Hearing this, no one spoke. The entire cla.s.sroom was silent.
Huo Jinyan glanced around and said decisively, “Then I’ll have the subject rep attend.’
Thereafter, he took his things and turned around. However, he did not notice that Kan Rou’s face had gone pale because of his declaration.
This English speaking event actually also had a compet.i.tive element to it, since not only would the school leaders of No. 1 High School be there, but leaders from other schools would also attend. The speakers would be representative of the standard of No. 1 High School.
In the past, Cla.s.s 1, 2, and 3 would compete for this spot, but for some reason, Cla.s.s 9 had gotten it this year. Moreover, Huo Jinyan had casually made a decision for such an important speech, and it was only two days away.
Cla.s.s 9 was stunned, and so was Kan Rou.
It was true that her English grades were good, but her personality was too soft and she had never partic.i.p.ated in any compet.i.tive speaking events before. She could be a cla.s.s representative simply because of her good grades and her obedient att.i.tude, so Teacher Han did not remove her and had always let her be, However, she did not expect such a dreadful situation to happen today.
Now, not only was Kan Rou worried, even her cla.s.smates in Cla.s.s 9 were worried.
After cla.s.s, they all went to comfort her.
“Don’t be afraid, Kan Rou. You can do it! We’ll go with you.”
It would have been better if she had not said that; as soon as she said that, Kan Rou imagined herself standing on the stage alone—there were many people below, including the school leaders, teachers, and her schoolmates…
Her eyes instantly turned red, and she was so frightened that she broke into tears.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Hurry up and prepare the speech, it’s only two days away.
You have to memorize the speech first before you can give it.”
“Teacher Huo didn’t even give her a script. Does he expect Kan Rou to prepare one herself?”
Kan Rou was stunned when she heard this.
“In the past, the partic.i.p.ants seemed to have been guided by the teacher, but Teacher Huo…
Kan Rou was so frightened that she kept crying. When she imagined that she had to go to Teacher Huo for guidance, she thought that she would rather die on the spot! That was even more terrifying than going on stage to give a speech!
“I’ll help you write it.”
Lin Ci t s voice cut through the clamor as she walked over.
“Don’t cry, it’s useless to cry. Ningning and I will help you with your script.
You’re representing the school as well as us third years, so you have to go. There are only two days left, don’t waste your time crying.”
Kan Rou looked at Lin Ci, her eyes red. She’s right.
Crying was pointless; she knew that, too. She just could not help it.
She wiped her tears and said, “Thank you, everyone.”
Lu Ning patted her shoulder. “Do your best.”
Kan Rou looked at them. Everyone was encouraging her, and a fire blazed in her bosom..
