Chapter 404: What Are You Happy For
The test was a display of Ye Jian’s capabilities. Even if some students had doubts because of what Ye Ying had said, they could only shut up now.
Ye Ying stared at her own score and bit her lip. She subconsciously looked over to the seat near the cla.s.sroom entrance – Ye Jian’s seat.
She happened to see a cla.s.smate leaning over to peek at Ye Jian’s test paper. After hearing a low-pitched exclamation, Ye Ying felt as though her heart had been crushed.
Mrs. Zhu wrote only the highest scores on the blackboard. “There are two perfect scores in this cla.s.s. One is Ye Jian, and the other one is Jiao Hai. Ye Jian’s test paper has no traces of correction, and she handed in her paper at thirty-four minutes. Ye Jian is the top of the cohort for this paper.” Jiao Hai was now the top male of the cohort.
“I won’t be talking about the lowest scores. After a summer vacation, everyone is relaxed and didn’t revise much. This test is only a reminder to wake everyone up. School has started. It’s time to concentrate!”
Ye Ying looked at her own math scores and bit harder on her lower lip.
She had always been better at languages but not sciences. If it wasn’t because of the fact that Mrs. Tong only taught science subjects, she would not have transferred over to a science cla.s.s.
Now, with just one test, the gap between them had widened. She must work hard and not be stuck at the bottom of the cla.s.s.
Suddenly, she thought of something and touched her chest. She then glanced at Ye Jian, who was looking at her test paper and sneered.
So what if you have good results? This society runs on connections. Without connections, you are just an ordinary citizen with a bit of an achievement. You can never be someone big!
Ye Jian felt a cold gaze and lifted her head. She knew who was looking at her… Someone delusional.
Mrs. Zhu only explained the solutions for a few key questions, before saying to Ye Jian, “Ye Jian, come up and explain the solution for the last question.”
“The center of the circle O and point M is connected by the chord MN…” As Ye Jian explained, her voice was especially soft, and everyone focused their attention on her. It was noisy outside, but there was only the sound of the ceiling fan in the cla.s.sroom. Every single student was listening to her attentively without making a sound.
“… only when point N takes a value on the semi-circle that does not contain point M…, our answer would be obvious.” While she was explaining, Ye Jian wrote down the solution on the blackboard step by step. The chalk powder fell on her black hair and as she turned, the white powder was blown off.
The math cla.s.s ended and there were still people copying down the solutions on the blackboard, while others took their papers to Ye Jian to seek clarifications.
The students who asked questions had forgotten that Ye Jian had taken a gap year and jumped grades.
In just a single day, they had a feeling that they had always been in the same cla.s.s as Ye Jian and had known her for a long time.
As for what Mrs. Tong had said, Ye Jian would never refuse a question, but she was very good at managing other people’s expectations. She would not solve everyone’s question.
She had her own principles and wanted to tell her cla.s.smates that she would not be able to help them every time. In the end, they would still have to rely on themselves.
Cla.s.s One was a cla.s.s that was hungry for knowledge, even after cla.s.s. They would pay attention in cla.s.s and have a discussion after cla.s.s. Everyone finally returned to their seats after the bell rang for the language cla.s.s.
