Chapter 17 Seating

The weekend passed quickly, and it was Monday again in the blink of an eye. The road to school was always very busy. There was not only one middle school in Qingyuan City, Jinlin Junior High School, but also two other junior high schools within three kilometers. So every morning, you can see students in various school uniforms walking on the road, and the youthful and lively atmosphere seemed to wake up the whole city.

In the Grade 1 (First) class, the first class after morning reading was taught by the head teacher Qin Shuangjin. The teacher was still dressed in a vigorous and resolute style, but this time the students no longer paid attention to Teacher Qin's beauty. Instead, they stared at the stack of papers in her hands, their faces full of anticipation and anxiety.

Without leaving everyone in suspense, Qin Shuangjin knew what the students were focusing on, so he walked up to the podium and said:

"The results of last month's monthly exam have come out. I think everyone is very concerned about the results of this test. I won't say more here. Please take a look at the test papers yourself."

The papers were then handed over to the Chinese language committee member Liu Zhizhou for distribution. The moment the papers were received, a buzz of discussion broke out in the classroom.

Su Lie also received the test paper and took a look at it. Except for a few points lost in the composition and reading comprehension, all other questions were correct.

"115 points? I have one point less than you." Bai Yuqi leaned over to look at Su Lie's score and said.

Bai Yuqi scored 114 points, and the points were also deducted in composition and reading comprehension. This is where almost all students will lose points, because there is no standard answer to reading comprehension, and even if the original author answers, points will be deducted, and even the score of this group of readers is not as high as it.

Qin Shuangjin watched the students discussing in the audience, but did not stop them. She let them look at the deduction points first, think about it themselves, and then explain it. This is her usual teaching method, because it can make this group of students more impressed. After a while, when the students finished their discussion, Qin Shuangjin started the class, so the first class was spent explaining the test paper.

As if it was a tacit understanding, in the following classes, teachers of each subject would hand out the monthly examination papers and explain the examination papers. As all the examination papers were handed out, students would summarize and compare them on their own and then they would know their scores and their approximate ranking in the class.

"Xiao Chong, Xiao Chong! I compared the grades of other students in our class, and you are the first in our class in this monthly exam!" Liu Zhizhou suddenly ran back to his seat and said to Xiao Chong with a happy face.

"Keep your voice down, just behaving normally." Xiao Chong pretended to be calm and pushed his glasses up, but the smile on his lips could not be suppressed. After being happy for a while, Xiao Chong asked again:
"Do you know what Su Lie's score is?"

"You mean the big devil?" Liu Zhizhou said after a moment's silence, "He seems to be ranked third."

Since the tug-of-war competition, Su Lie's nickname "Big Devil" has spread like wildfire. Originally, this nickname was meant to tease and be malicious, but after several students in Class 1 said what Su Lie said at the time, "Just try your best, I'll take care of everything," most students' opinions of Su Lie changed.

They didn't expect that this guy who usually made them uncomfortable would say such heartwarming words. Comforting classmates in adversity and volunteering to be the backing of everyone, this perfectly fits their fantasy of the image of ancient heroes.

Moreover, these students were not fools. Considering the gap between the two sides during the game, and the fact that all the students in Class 1 were intimidated by the opponent's momentum but did not show any signs of decline, and finally won back, they knew that what Su Lie said might not be bragging, and that he really had some strength. So the title of "Big Devil" became filled with some kindness and closeness.

"Third place?" Xiao Chong was silent for a moment, thinking about how he had planned to plot against his opponent in the competition to attract hatred. Unexpectedly, he ended up making things worse and made his opponent even more famous. So, this time, his results were better than his opponent's, and once he was beaten, his opponent would never be able to turn things around. Thinking of this, Xiao Chong's depression was immediately relieved a lot.

After all the test papers were distributed, it took another two days before the official score rankings were posted.

As Liu Zhizhou said, Xiao Chong was indeed the first in the class, Bai Yuqi was the second, Su Lie was the third, and
After the rankings were announced, the students at the top were naturally happy, while those at the bottom were full of sorrow. After all, at their age, sometimes scores represent strength and friend circles, and it is difficult for those with good grades to play with those with poor grades.

No matter what these students think, the next thing they will face is changing seats.

One month is enough time for these students to become good friends with their deskmates, but it is not enough time for them to become close to all their classmates. So when they know they have to change seats and separate from their original good friends, they can't help but feel reluctant.

But their reluctance ultimately failed to move Qin Shuangjin. With her cruel voice, all the original seats in the class were dispersed and redistributed according to grades.

The allocation this time was not based on the principle that the students with good grades sat in the front row and the students with poor grades sat in the back row. Instead, the allocation was based on the "master and apprentice" method, that is, the students with good grades and the students with poor grades were arranged to sit at the same table, in order to allow the good students to help the poor students improve their grades.

As for whether there would be a reverse effect of good students being led astray by their apprentices, Qin Shuangjin was not too worried. As I said before, Jinlin Junior High School is a famous school.

The entry threshold alone eliminated a group of students. Those who could enter here must have sufficient self-discipline. Although some of them were sent here by their families through connections, their grades were also remarkable and they had enough potential. Otherwise, Jinlin Junior High School would also look at the key rate and the admission rate.

The new seats were assigned, and this time Su Lie and Bai Yuqi could not sit together. His deskmate was a thin boy, who was cheerful and sunny. He sat next to Su Lie and greeted him openly.

At this time, the scene in the classroom was basically the same. Everyone greeted their new deskmate and whispered to each other while Qin Shuangjin didn't stop them.

In addition, there are some quieter seats. They either don't like to talk or their deskmates don't want to talk, so they pick up books and immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge.

Bai Yuqi's deskmate was a boy with a slightly introverted personality. He tried to talk to Bai Yuqi several times, but in the end he remained silent because of his shyness. Bai Yuqi didn't care about this at all, but she was a little uncomfortable with the change of people around her. She had to look up to see the figure that she could see by turning her head normally.

The seat change is only temporary, because they will face a wave of exams in their future study career, and they will have to adjust their seats and change their deskmates for each exam. Three years will eventually allow them to adapt to this rhythm and become familiar with the faces and personalities of every classmate in the class.

Similarly, during the three years of growth, some people may be able to show their talents and become a sensation. Or some people may fall from grace and become insignificant. What will happen in the end depends on them.
