Except for English, She Ranked First in Every Other Subjects

Hearing Zhou Yining’s explanation of a difficult problem, Yu Yang’s eyes lit up as she looked at Zhou Yining.

“That’s right, your method is really clever. Sister Zhou, I still have several unsolved problems in my practice exercises. Can you help me with them?”

Zhou Yining smiled at her. “Sure.”

“Then I’ll bring you other snacks this afternoon.” Yu Yang smiled happily.

She actually had a tutor at home, but the tutor’s method of explaining problems was very complicated, and it wasn’t as simple as Zhou Yining’s explanation.

Zhou Yining winked at her and nodded in agreement.

She was currently dirt poor and didn’t have money to buy snacks.

As for the hundred yuan from the morning, Zhou Yining had to save it for the internet cafe.

Since explaining problems could earn her snacks, it seemed pretty good.

The second period was Chinese class.

The form teacher entered the class with the test papers, and as usual, she first had the class representative hand out the answer sheets.

Chen Yitong’s face was full of smiles as she said,

“This time, our class did well in Chinese. The average score is even higher than several top classes. Our class’s Zhou Yining is the top student in the grade for Chinese in this monthly exam, with 148 points. Only two points were deducted from her composition.”

As soon as Chen Yitong said this, the class immediately exploded again.

“Wow, is Zhou Yining really going to fly to the sky?”

“That’s Sister Zhou, but she’s really awesome. Her grades have improved so much all of a sudden. She’s really amazing.”

“Yeah, I thought she was cheating at first, but I was slapped in the face during the math class just now. Sister Zhou really seems to be awesome.”

“I think so too. Our ordinary class has regained some face this time. It saves us from having Zhang Ye always getting first place, as if he’s so great.”

“Exactly, I don’t like Zhang Ye either.”

“Alright, let’s go over this test paper today.” Chen Yitong stopped the students’ commotion and began explaining the questions.

The second and third periods were both Chinese classes.

They almost finished going over the test paper in the two periods.

Finally, Chen Yitong also read Zhou Yining’s composition as a model essay.

She said, “Everyone should have heard Zhou Yining’s composition. It’s actually very relevant to the topic, and the selected arguments and evidence are also very good. Her handwriting is also very neat.

The reason why I deducted two points from her is entirely because it’s rare to get full marks in Chinese.

I want her to be mentally prepared that even if she answers well, there’s a possibility that points will be deducted from her composition on the Gaokao.”

Zhou Yining nodded.

Of course, she knew this.

She was someone who had taken the Gaokao once in her previous life.

Xu Yueming, who was next to Zhou Yining, looked at Zhou Yining with a complicated expression.

How had his introverted and taciturn deskmate changed so much all of a sudden? He wasn’t used to it.

Zhou Yining was very calm. She was very outstanding in her previous life, so many people’s attention would fall on her.

Zhou Yining accepted it all calmly. She wasn’t afraid of anyone’s gaze.

After class, several girls came to Zhou Yining with snacks to ask her questions one after another.

These girls usually didn’t have any interaction with Zhou Yining, but they had never said bad things about Zhou Yining.

As for those who had badmouthed Zhou Yining before, they were more or less embarrassed to come and ask Zhou Yining questions.

Before long, the snacks on Zhou Yining’s desk were piled up like a small mountain, which Zhou Yining was very satisfied with.

Just before class was about to start, Zhou Yining finished explaining the problems and took the opportunity to drink a delicious cup of yogurt. Then, she put all the snacks into a large bag and saved them to eat slowly.

The political teacher had already entered the class.

Seeing Zhou Yining packing up snacks, she joked, “Are you changing careers to open a snack shop?”

Zhou Yining smiled at Teacher Wu, looking well-behaved.

Teacher Wu was also in a good mood.

Zhou Yining’s liberal arts scores were extremely heaven-defying.

Out of a possible 300 points, Zhou Yining scored 298 points, again the first in the grade.

She had also heard today that not only liberal arts, but Zhou Yining’s Chinese and math scores were also the first in the grade.

Of course, so was English, except it was the last.

Teacher Wu put away her other thoughts and began to go over the test paper.

At this time, in the senior high school office, the grade director Luo Mei came to find Chen Yitong.

“Yitong, what’s going on with that Zhou Yining in your class? I just looked at the grade rankings. Except for English, she’s first in the grade in all other subjects.”

Chen Yitong nodded. “Yes, this child suddenly appeared these past few days. It feels like she suddenly had an epiphany these past few days.”

“Having an epiphany is a good thing, but what’s going on with her English? Even if she guessed, it shouldn’t be 0 points, right?” Luo Mei asked.

“She has some conflicts with the English teacher. Before, when Teacher Cao held a quiz in class, she said that she had copied the answers.

Later, she also used the confession wall incident to insult Zhou Yining, so Zhou Yining may have some opinions about Teacher Cao.” Chen Yitong said.

Luo Mei frowned and nodded. She had also gone to find Teacher Cao just now.

Teacher Cao had just devalued Zhou Yining to nothing. So there were these things in between.

“But this child is really stubborn enough. Besides her name and class on the answer sheet, she really didn’t write a single word.”

Luo Mei sighed and said,

“Xiao Chen, then you should give that child more guidance. I will also try my best to do Teacher Cao’s work. We can’t ruin such a good seed.

Moreover, her other subjects are all first, but English is 0 points. Later, I won’t be able to explain it to the principal.”

“Okay, Sister Luo, I’ll try my best. Zhou Yining is a very opinionated child. I can only say I’ll try.” Chen Yitong said, thinking of Zhou Yining.

“Well, alright, then let’s leave it at that for now.” Luo Mei had other things to do, so she left first.

Soon it was time to leave school.

This time, Tian Xue didn’t rush to come to Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining packed her things and walked to Tian Xue’s desk with two bags of snacks.

“Eat some snacks. These are all I earned this morning. Let’s go home.” Zhou Yining put the snacks she was holding on Tian Xue’s desk.

Tian Xue silently put away the snacks.

She followed behind Zhou Yining without saying a word, until the two of them walked out of the teaching building, and Tian Xue spoke.

“Do you think we’re still friends?”

Zhou Yining was a little surprised as to why Tian Xue would ask this. “Of course. Why do you ask?”

“Your studies have suddenly improved, and now you’re surrounded by good students. I feel like the gap between you and me is getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, can we really still be friends?” Tian Xue said, her voice a little low.

“Then try to become better. There’s no such thing as a gap. Don’t think too much. I can explain to you any math problems you don’t know for free. I charge them for snacks, but not you.” Zhou Yining smiled at her and said.

Although Tian Xue was introverted and sometimes a little eccentric, she was at least one of the few people who had given the original owner warmth.

The original owner’s family had already caused her enough harm, and coupled with the fact that the original owner was bullied and isolated by the people in the class, if it weren’t for this friend Tian Xue, the original owner’s personality would likely have been unable to hold on.

So Zhou Yining would still give Tian Xue some face, and she would try to help Tian Xue as much as possible.

Tian Xue looked at Zhou Yining through her heavy bangs, and after a long while, she said, “When did you become so familiar with Jiang Xizhi?”

“I wouldn’t say we’re familiar. We just happened to run into each other a few times on the road.” Zhou Yining said.

Tian Xue still stared at Zhou Yining, her eyes dark. “Her temper isn’t good, and her family is powerful and influential. I heard from those who have been friends with her that she’s especially difficult to get along with. I advise you to be careful. Such a young lady, just by moving her mouth, can crush ordinary people like us into dust.”

“It’s not that exaggerated. Alright, let’s not talk about her. Let’s go quickly. I’m hungry.”

Zhou Yining changed the topic, not wanting to hear Tian Xue say bad things about Jiang Xizhi.

Because for her, Tian Xue was the original owner’s friend, while Jiang Xizhi was more like her own friend.
