Chapter 14: Was it solved in this way?
After two relatively relaxing days of rest, the senior three class of Second High School faced the fierce announcement of their results.
Teacher Chen appeared with a displeased face, holding the report cards. The atmosphere in Class Four instantly plummeted.
After the routine scolding and criticism, he singled out a few of the habitual troublemakers, slackers, and troublemakers, publicly revealed their failing grades, and shocked the whole class into silence.
Then, with an indifferent expression, he discussed the performance of the mid-range students, and finally moved on to the “top students”.
Not all top students were praised. Lu Min was criticized because her overall score dropped, falling from the top five to ninth place, which was a significant setback.
Only then did he finally smile.
“Of course, although our class as a whole has regressed in this exam, some individual students have made great progress in their grades!”
He quickly scanned the whole class, finally settling on Fu Chengque’s face.
“Fu Chengque, you have advanced three places in the rankings this time and are now in the top fifteen. You have been making progress for nearly half a year, and all the teachers have praised you for it.” He nodded approvingly at the delighted Fu Chengque. “Fu Chengque has also been in charge of the big bulletin board recently, and even got sick because of it. But even so, her grades have not suffered. She has performed excellently and deserves praise! The teacher hopes you will continue to work hard, guard against arrogance, and surpass yourself in the university entrance examination. Do you understand?”
Fu Chengque was delighted and sweetly replied, “Yes, teacher.”
She looked somewhat proud.
Chen Xiongguo took a sip of strong tea and carefully spat out the tea leaves.
Next up were Wen Yu’s grades.
In front of him, Wen Yu’s column was highlighted with a red pen.
The ranking number in front of his name was fixed at “8”.
This little brat Chen Xiongguo is now both loving and hating. He loves that it seems he’s truly talented, but he hates that he actually negotiated terms!
How could something as noble as studying be subject to negotiation!?
Arrogant and conceited!
What’s even more annoying is that he actually did it—
In this small exam, his overall ranking jumped up by 6 places.
Truly a hidden gem.
For now, I can only take it one step at a time. Promises made must be kept.
Setting aside their “deal,” a student who has made such progress in their grades deserves praise no matter what.
“Now I want to give special praise to Wen Yu.”
The entire class’s gaze converged on Wen Yu.
“Wen Yu has been studying diligently since the second half of sophomore year, with a proper attitude, and has made significant progress in grades. Every exam sees improvement, and this time, he leaped forward by six places, breaking into the top ten of the class, ranking 8th.
Very outstanding, very impressive. I hope everyone can congratulate Wen Yu together.”
Then, leading the applause.
After the applause subsided, he continued, “I often say, effort yields results. Wen Yu has proven with his actions that as long as you focus on studying, your grades will naturally improve…”
Followed by a long string of heartfelt advice.
However, as he said these words, Chen Xiongguo felt his faith gradually crumbling, with one question lingering in his mind:
Has Wen Yu truly focused on studying or not…
After discussing the grades, Chen Xiongguo announced a measure on the spot:
Based on the exam results, the class will be rearranged. The focus is to create a small-scale study atmosphere to encourage those who like to study to excel even more.
Then he handed a seating list to the class monitor.
Let’s begin, change seats.
Holding the yellowed teacup, Chen Xiongguo looked deeply at Wen Yu, as if saying:
Little brat, you’ve made a leap in your grades, and the teacher will keep his word.
However, in the message Wen Yu received from his gaze, he always felt there was another layer of meaning from Mr. Chen:
If you dare mess around, you’ll be dealt with!
***
During the seat change, the monitor would call out names according to the list, and when called, they would move to their new seat.
Once everyone knew where they were sitting, they would move together.
If your name wasn’t called, you waited first.
Fu Chengque’s current desk mate, a boy, looked quite resentful when he heard they were changing seats.
“Fu Chengque, where are you moving to?” he asked.
“I don’t know, the class monitor hasn’t called me yet.”
Just as he finished speaking, the class monitor called out a boy’s name.
Upon seeing that the new desk mate was the well-known chubby kid in class, the boy looked utterly disheartened.
The days of being desk mates with the most beautiful girl in the class were gone forever.
Cough, why does the air suddenly smell bad?
As names were called one by one and people moved around, Fu Chengque waited nervously.
“Fu Chengque,” the class monitor called.
Fu Chengque stood up immediately.
“You go to Zhao Chengli’s original seat. Zhao Chengli, you sit in Fang Ling’s seat.”
Several people began to move.
When Fu Chengque arrived at her new seat, she felt instantly happy.
In front of her sat Lu Min, behind her was Fang Ling, Xiao Gua was diagonally behind, and she didn’t know who her right desk mate was yet.
All the people she was close to were seated nearby!
The girls exchanged glances, all very pleased with the seating arrangement.
More and more students arrived at their new seats, some happy, some uncomfortable.
Only a few people were left undecided.
Fu Chengque also curiously looked back, seeing Wen Yu still sitting in his original distant seat.
The remaining seats were mostly separated by two or three aisles.
“It seems like Wen Yu will have to sit alone over there,” Fang Ling joked.
“It’s okay, we can send someone to bring warmth to him after class,” Xiao Gua said with a smile.
“Haha, who?”
“Can’t say, can’t say.”
Fu Chengque glared at them.
“Wen Yu.”
The class monitor suddenly called out.
Wen Yu stood up.
“You go to where Xie Zhefeng was before.”
That position happened to be Fu Chengque’s desk mate.
***
Wen Yu settled into his new seat leisurely, seeing Fu Chengque’s shocked expression, feeling quite satisfied.
Looking around, he found that several familiar faces were actually nearby.
“Oh, everyone’s here.”
Everyone was even more surprised.
“Wow, Wen Yu, you’re actually Chengque’s desk mate.”
“Tsk tsk, I don’t believe this is a coincidence. If it’s not, I’m not sure.”
“All the acquaintances are sitting here, now our study group is even more convenient.”
Lu Min was very pleased, eager to improve her ranking after falling to ninth place.
“Attention attention, we are the strategy masters conquering the world!” Fang Ling corrected, getting into character.
Meanwhile, Xiao Gua pretended to be a detective and said, “It must be that Wen Yu and Teacher Chen have reached some undisclosed agreement… The ultimate goal of the agreement is to become Fu Chengque’s desk mate!”
“Really? Does Wen Yu have that capability? Teacher Chen’s demeanor makes me afraid to even speak in front of him.”
“He dares.”
Xiao Gua suddenly pointed at Wen Yu.
The group was shocked – he seemed to actually dare.
After a while, they burst into laughter again: even if Wen Yu dared to speak, would he dare to let Teacher Chen assign him a seat?
So, it’s not possible, not possible.
What a coincidence, what a coincidence, the world is truly made up of coincidences.
***
The seating plan was arranged, and the whole class shuffled around.
Soon, everyone sat in their new seats.
Fu Chengque was still somewhat stunned, she hadn’t yet recovered from the shock because she noticed another unexpected thing – the countdown to the impossible task of maintaining an ultra-close distance for 5 hours had begun!
And Wen Yu never had the habit of leaving his seat in the afternoon, as long as he didn’t move…
Oh my god!
Could this task actually be solved in this way?!
Random special abilities, are they about to come into play?!
