The life of a third-year student was always accompanied by people and books. Every day, they would race against time to study, afraid that they would waste their time little by little. After a long time, living such a life every day would always give people the feeling that their life was a little boring and tasteless. Perhaps only the points could temporarily point them in the right direction, making them feel like they were still breathing high-level animals. Unknowingly, it had been almost a month since Jian Chuan entered this new school. Jian Chuan seemed to have realized that the wheel of time was moving really fast.
Tan Junyu patted Jian Chuan's shoulder and said,""What are you thinking about? He was so engrossed. The monthly exam is tomorrow. Are you ready?”
Jian Chuan said,"I'm alright." What about you? How's your revision going?"
Tan Junyu replied,"It's so-so. I can still make do with it!" You have to do your best in this exam!”
Jian Chuan seemed to have heard the meaning in his words and asked,""You just said that you want me to give it my all for this exam. Why do I feel a little strange when I hear that?”
"This way, we can understand how strong you are in your studies, a student who transferred from a certain school," said Tan Junyu seriously. We also want to know why the form teacher allowed a new student to sit next to Wang Mengqin. She ignored our objections and insisted on letting you sit in the first row. We all want to know if she's biased, or if you have the ability to take that position. Tomorrow? Don't disappoint us!"
"So it's because of this." Right, us? Other than you, who else could it be? Perhaps I will disappoint you. Can you tell me who they are?”
"This is…a secret," Tan Junyu said mysteriously.”
Jian Chuan seemed to want to ask Tan Junyu what this secret was. However, Tan Junyu had already returned to his original position and was slowly reading his book. Jian Chuan touched his chin and thought about what Tan Junyu had said. At this moment, Mei Jiao walked over and said to Jian Chuan,""What are you thinking about? She was so engrossed in her thoughts. What did Tan Junyu say to you just now?"
"It's nothing, just a special greeting."”
Mei Jiao took a look at the music book and said,"Oh, is it really nothing? Although you said that, your expression betrayed you.”
Jian Chuan turned to face Mei Jiao and said,""You're also a transfer student."
Mei Jiao continued to flip through the music book.”
"Where did you sit when you first came to this class?" Jian Chuan looked at Mei Jiao.”
Mei Jiao put down the book in her hand and thought for a long time before saying,"That's already very far away. Why are you asking me this today? I feel like you're acting weird.”
Jian Chuan was afraid that Mei Jiao would see through his thoughts, so he turned around and said,""I'm just asking. If you're unwilling to tell me, I won't force you. Just pretend that I didn't ask anything.”
Mei Jiao picked up the book again and replied,"What? It was the last row! The few of us who transferred schools together are behind here.”
Jian Chuan was afraid that he would strike a blow to Mei Jiao's confidence, so he said in his heart,""I just came to this class, and the form teacher let me sit in the first row. Do you think the form teacher is a little…biased?”
Mei Jiao was stunned for a moment when she heard Jian Chuan. She smiled and replied,"Hehe, at first, I felt that it was true. She treats you too well. We don't have such treatment.”
Jian Chuan did not expect Mei Jiao to say so, so he agreed,"Oh, I see."
Mei Jiao looked at the change in Jian Chuan's expression and thought about the conversation just now. She seemed to have understood something and then smiled."But after spending these days with you, I feel that you're not bad.”
"Thank you." Jian Chuan turned around and looked at Mei Jiao.“
Mei Jiao didn't expect Jian Chuan to answer her like that. She didn't know how to talk to him, so she deliberately changed the topic."This monthly examination. Have you finished your revision?" After saying that, she felt a little regretful.
"It's alright!"
"Then you have to work hard. This way, you can earn some face for us transfer students."”
"Why?" Jian Chuan asked in confusion.”
Mei Jiao was a little angry." Because they're from the same class. They always look down on us transfer students. They feel like we're dragging them down. Aiya!" I'll stop talking. I'm very angry just talking about it.”
Jian Chuan also learned from the teachers and said,""Then why don't you study hard and let them know that transfer students can sometimes bring glory to them, not just push them down.”
Mei Jiao let out an 'ah' and said in a nonchalant tone,""I'm not bad in music, but you know I'm good in academics. Besides, the teachers only cared about the results. They didn't care about the process. After spending these days with you, I feel that your studies are definitely better than ours. So, you have to work hard."
Jian Chuan doubted himself. He didn't know if he was really as Mei Jiao and the others had said. Was his studies better than theirs? "Is that so?" he replied uncertainly. Can I?"
Mei Jiao patted Jian Chuan's shoulder with one hand and gave him a thumbs up with the other.""You can do it. Believe in yourself. Work hard and dampen their spirit.”
Jian Chuan continued to reply in a low voice,""What if I can't do it?"
Mei Jiao didn't want to see Jianchuan feel any pressure before the exam, so she smiled and said,""Aiyo, you just have to do your best. However, we have high hopes for you."
Jian Chuan lowered his head silently. He didn't know why, but he felt a little strange and even a little pressured. He thought about everything that had happened since he came to this school. He thought about what Mei Jiao and Tan Junyu had said. He slowly fell into deep thought.
Perhaps it was because they were facing a mock monthly exam tomorrow, but the teachers did not impart new knowledge to the students, nor did they come to teach them. Perhaps it was to avoid the teacher leaking the question type to the students, so they didn't come to give us some special guidance or something. They always asked the subject representatives of each subject to pass on the message, asking the students to revise well and strive for good results tomorrow. Jian Chuan wasn't used to having no teacher in class. He spent the whole day reading and revising by himself, which made him feel a little bored. Looking at the students in the front row who were studying hard, Jian Chuan felt inferior.
The evening self-study session before the exam was very important to the students. The self-study session at night was especially quiet. After a few hours of silence, the classroom finally remembered the noise that had not been heard for a long time. They were busy setting up the desks for tomorrow's exam and sticking the exam number given to each class by the school. After everything was settled, the classroom slowly fell silent again. After returning to the dormitory, his roommates washed up briefly and went to bed to rest. Quietly waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
The next morning, the students came to the classroom early and sat down quietly. They took out their relevant teaching materials for the exam and read them quietly by themselves. The ringing of the bell broke the original silence. The students stood up and looked at each other. They suppressed their nervousness and revealed satisfied gazes. The expressions on their faces were indeed not as nervous as yesterday. On the contrary, he was even calmer.
Tan Junyu walked over and said to Jianchuan,"You have to work hard. Don't let us down."”
Jian Chuan looked at Tan Junyu's receding figure and said in a low voice,""Are results really that important?”
Duan Li looked at the dejected Jian Chuan and whispered to him,""Perhaps you think that grades are not important. However, some people cared too much about their teachers 'opinions, so grades were their second life. It could also be said that grades were everything to them in school. Without good grades, they would lose their motivation to learn. Then what reason did they have to stay in school and study hard?”
" The results only represent one aspect," Jian Chuan said to Duan Li." Besides, this is only a monthly test. Was she that nervous? Don't we have other pursuits in school? Are we only pursuing the so-called scores?”
" That's just your personal opinion," Duan Li replied calmly." However, to them, even their teachers and parents, grades are very important. Teachers used academic results to assess the school's enrollment rate, parents used grades to see if their children were studying seriously in school, and some students wanted to find out the meaning of their existence in school through grades.”
"But…" Jian Chuan wanted to refute.
"There's no buts, you have to know. Scores are one of the most important criteria for teachers to measure the quality of students. You only need to know this.
Jian Chuan looked at Duan Li's calm expression and listened to her talk about so many things related to grades. However, he felt strange. Why did she not care about his grades so much?"What about you? Why did he take it so lightly?”
Duan Li continued to reply calmly,""So what if it's important to me? I knew that I wasn't cut out for studying. To me, studying was a waste of time. I was only here to kill time. Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Hurry up and find your exam room. In short, good luck for the exam. I also think highly of you. At the same time, I also believe that you will not disappoint them.”
"If you don't try, how do you know you're not cut out for learning?" Jian Chuan looked at Duan Li and said. The most important thing in life was to learn to leave hope for yourself. It's not sad that others look down on us. Sadly, he was already disheartened.”After saying that, he felt a little regretful.
Duan Li didn't pay attention to what Jian Chuan said and walked towards the exam classroom. Jian Chuan also walked towards the place where he was going to take the exam. He quickly found his classroom. He slowly calmed his restless heart. He decided to take the exam well because he didn't want to disappoint someone, nor did he want to become a person who only knew how to talk big. More importantly, he wanted to try to change himself.
After each exam, the students returned to the classroom. Some of them were reading books seriously in the classroom to prepare for the next exam. Some of them took out the questions from the previous exam and argued with their classmates about whether they should choose A or B. When they heard that their answers were agreed by the majority, they smiled with satisfaction. When they heard that their answers were contrary to most people's, they would look a little disappointed and even blame themselves for being careless.
Duan Li heard the students discussing the exam questions and looked at Jian Chuan.""Why don't you join their discussion? Perhaps your answer will be recognized by many people. In this way, you can also increase your understanding of your classmates and have more opportunities to communicate and understand each other.”
Jian Chuan replied calmly while reading the book,""The biggest taboo before the exam is to take out the question type of the previous exam and argue with others. Doing so will affect the mood of the next exam and waste your time studying.”
" I didn't know you knew what to do before and after the exam." Duan Li chuckled." Looks like I should have a whole new level of respect for you."”
" What do you think I can do by discussing with them?" Jian Chuan asked Duan Li." Can I correct my own mistakes?"”
Duan Li looked into Jian Chuan's eyes and said,"No."”
" Since I can't correct the wrong questions and it will affect my mood for the next exam," Jian Chuan said with a firm tone." It's a waste of time. I might as well revise for the next exam." Therefore, it was already predestined. There was no need to discuss it here and worry unnecessarily.”
Duan Li didn't refute Jian Chuan's words.""What you said makes sense. Then you should study hard for the next exam. If you do badly later, I'll become a sinner in history.”
Jian Chuan looked at Duan Li's expression and listened to her tone,""No way! A sinner of history, there was no need to be so exaggerated!”
"Hehe, a liberal arts student?" Duan Li giggled. It had always been like this. Alright, let's not chat anymore. Let's revise for the subject we're going to take!”
"Yeah."
For the third-year students, every monthly exam was a good review of their usual studies. Therefore, teachers and students would always treat the monthly test as a very serious matter. The monthly test could not only check the incomplete knowledge of the third-year students so that the teachers could make revision plans for the students, but it could also indirectly let the third-year students understand their own shortcomings. From there, they could better whip them to study hard and move towards a better future.
Duan Li sighed." Aiya, I'm done with my exams. I have to face the cruel reality tomorrow." Tell me, why are the good days so short?”
Jian Chuan looked at Duan Li's expression and said somewhat stiffly,""Are you talking to me?"
Duan Li looked at her deskmate who was a little stiff."What do you think?"
Jianchuan said,"Oh, hehe." I'm sorry, I was distracted just now and didn't hear you clearly. Right, what did you say just now? Can you repeat that?
Duan Li repeated helplessly,""Sigh, I was wondering why the good days are always so short.”
"Beautiful days?" Jian Chuan looked at her with a stutter. Short?"
Duan Li sounded a little impatient."Aiya, talking to you is so tiring sometimes.”
"I'm not good at Chinese, and my comprehension ability is not good either." Jian Chuan touched his forehead and said. So, can you be a little more detailed?”
Duan Li sighed, and her straight shoulders also became shorter."Forget it, I'm impressed by you. What I mean is that these few days of the exam are the best days. We can have fun to our heart's content. As the saying goes,'The big exam is fun, the small exam is fun, and the non-exam is not fun.' Do you understand now?”
Jian Chuan nodded and replied slowly,""I understand a little now, but why is it not easy to play after the exam? I see that you're playing around every day!"
Duan Li clenched her fists and felt like hitting someone."Aiya, after the exam, the form teacher will use the scores to rank the class. At that time, we will be educated again, do you understand?”
Jian Chuan was a little surprised when he heard her words.""Uh, it's like this! Hehe, I didn't know you were still…"
" What are you laughing at?" Duan Li asked angrily." What else can I do?"”
"I thought you didn't care about your studies?" Jian Chuan looked at her expression. Why did the ranking suddenly make you nervous? Could it be that you actually care about your studies, but you're just unwilling to show that concern?”
Duan Li harrumphed and said,"Do you think you're someone who knows how to reason?" I'll go."
"Hehe," replied Jian Chuan. Sometimes you are really interesting."
Duan Li didn't know what to do with this person in front of her."By the way, how did you feel about the exam this time?”
"I don't feel good. How about you?" Jian Chuan looked at the ceiling.”
Duan Li's tone was less indifferent and more serious.""I'm still the same, so-so. After the exam, the form teacher will let us choose our seats based on our results.”
"Me!" Jian Chuan replied casually. I don't know. Maybe I'm not qualified to choose a seat. When you choose a seat, remember to leave one for me.”
"Others may not know my level, but don't tell me you don't know?" Duan Li said worriedly. I don't have the qualifications to choose a seat. You only know how to mock me, sigh.”
"Maybe you're the dark horse of this exam," Jian Chuan said seriously.”
Duan Li replied in a helpless tone,""Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. You won't understand the sadness of people like us. 'Let me stay here alone for the rest of my life!”
After a while, Mei Jiao rushed into the classroom and said to Jian Chuan and Duan Li while panting,""You know, the results of the exam have already come out. Aren't you surprised?”
" How could that be?" Jian Chuan said with a surprised expression." It's only been two days since the exams." The results of the exam were out. How was that possible? According to common sense, the results of the exam would be at least a few days later.”
" Why so fast this time?" Duan Li seemed a little anxious." Who did you hear that from?"”
Mei Jiao took a sip of water to calm her excited heart."Why would I lie to you? It wasn't a multiple-choice question. Did I hear what they said just now?"
"Them?" Duan Li asked anxiously. Who are they referring to?"
Mei Jiao pointed at the person who had just entered the classroom."Xiao Hong and the others? They said so."
Duan Li looked at the person who had just walked in and held Mei Jiao's hand."Then do you know what they said?”
Mei Jiao exclaimed,"Sister Li, why are you so nervous?" Do you know that my hand hurts?"
Duan Li quickly released Mei Jiao's hand and said,""I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Mei Jiao gently blew on her aching hand and said,""Our class did well this time, but the first place is still Wang Mengqin, and the second place is Xiao Hong.”
"The third place is Tan Junyu, right?" Jian Chuan asked casually.”
"You're wrong. It's not him." Mei Jiao shook her head. Guess who it is."
Duan Li held Mei Jiao's hand tightly again.""Don't keep me in suspense. Just say it! Who is the third place?"
Mei Jiao let out an 'aiyo' again."Sister Li, be gentle. It's going to break.”
Duan Li quickly let go of Mei Jiao's hand and gently rubbed it against her.""Is this any better?"
"I feel much better now. Thank you, Sister Li." Mei Jiao said with a smile.”
"Then why don't you tell me who's in third place?" Duan Li urged.”
Mei Jiao patted Jian Chuan's head and said,""Third place is Jian Chuan, you.”
Duan Li let go of Mei Jiao's hand and said to Jian Chuan,""Congratulations, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. I say, you won't disappoint them, right? You really did it?"
Jian Chuan pointed at himself and wondered if Mei Jiao had made a mistake."Me? Are you guys right? He couldn't believe it. How was that possible? You guys are just fooling me! Continue guessing."
Mei Jiao ignored the pain in her hand and said loudly,"Why would I lie to you? I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Tomorrow, the form teacher will bring up the results list. You'll know when you see it yourself. Why don't we make a bet?"
Duan Li clapped her hands and immediately chimed in."Good, good. What are you betting on?"
Jian Chuan looked at Duan Li, then looked at Mei Jiao unwillingly and said,""Alright! Let's bet. Who's afraid of who? What's the bet?”
Mei Jiao thought for a while and said," If you lose, you can ask the class teacher in front of the whole class why we have to study. Is it really useful to study? What do you think of using this as a bet?”
" Yes," Duan Li said without hesitation." I think this will do."”
Jian Chuan felt that this question was very familiar, as if someone had asked him this question before. However, he couldn't remember who that person was. He patted his head and pretended to be deep in thought."Alright, then what if you lose?”
Mei Jiao pointed at Jian Chuan confidently and said,""Whatever you say."
"Jianchuan, do you want her to marry you?" Duan Li blurted out.”
Hearing Duan Li's sudden words, Jian Chuan lowered his head silently. The back of his ears was red. Mei Jiao looked at Jian Chuan and patted Duan Li's head with her hand."Go to hell. Only you would think that way. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Duan Li looked at Jian Chuan with his head lowered, but she didn't have time to dodge Mei Jiao's sudden attack. She only heard Duan Li say,""Aiya, be gentle. It hurts.”
Mei Jiao giggled." You deserve it. Who told you to eat too much and talk nonsense?"”
"I was wrong," Duan Li said aggrievedly. By the way, have you seen your own results?”
Mei Jiao said smugly," Yes, I did. I advanced by more than 20 places. You didn't expect it, did you?"”
Jian Chuan heard that Mei Jiao had advanced by more than twenty places and suddenly raised his head."Wow! You're so powerful."
Mei Jiao didn't even look at Jian Chuan and said," Go to the side. I'm not as powerful as you."
Seeing Mei Jiao improve so quickly, Duan Li said happily,""Then, Jiao Mei, congratulations."
" You're congratulating me," Mei Jiao said directly." I should congratulate you too!" You're in the top twenty of the class!”
Duan Li didn't believe Mei Jiao's words.""You're lying to me! Continue guessing!"
"Why don't you two make a bet?" Jian Chuan gloated.”
" I don't think so," Duan Li interrupted." You like to gamble, so go by yourself. Don't drag me down with you."”
Jian Chuan looked into Mei Jiao's eyes and said,"It seems that you can still add light to this class." You've also proved to them that you're not a transfer student who only knows how to hold them back. Congratulations, you did it.“
Mei Jiao's eyes revealed determination. You didn't disappoint us transfer students. Besides, seeing how hard you're working, I can't fall behind!”
Jian Chuan, Mei Jiao, and Duan Li looked at each other and smiled. They knew that tomorrow, the class teacher would come with the ranking list and arrange new seats for the students. They didn't know if they would be deskmates again tomorrow, but all they could do now was cherish this moment of deskmate affection. That day, they didn't read books seriously. Instead, they talked a lot.
