Shuishui didn't continue because music wasn't suitable for her. She wasn't cut out for it. Besides, she liked music, but that didn't mean that she liked to play for a big audience. In other words, she didn't want to be too high-profile.
Teacher Hu nodded. "Hmm. That still remains to be seen."
Shuishui was too opinionated. Basically, no one could interfere with her thoughts, and the things she had decided on were very difficult to change. After they ate and chatted for a while, Teacher Hu sent Shuishui home. After a day, Shuishui would go to school to have her graduation photos taken and do other things. At the same time, the school held a program that honored students who were admitted to key high schools.
The school would also receive a list of admissions.
Shuishui had already contacted the third high school. When they had heard about Shuishui's results and was told by Shuishui said that she wanted to study there, they naturally agreed.
With Shuishui's score, she was qualified to join the key class, but Shuishui refused. She said, "I'm sorry. A friend of mine is not in the key class, so I don't want to join the key class. Although the key class is much better for me, I'm confident that I can maintain my results."
This domineering statement surprised the teacher who answered the phone, so he started to persuade her. "Shuishui, you know that the key class is better for you, so why do you want to go to the ordinary class for your friend? Moreover, you said that maintaining grades in high school and junior high school are different."
Shuishui had no choice. She had already asked about the key class. From the first year of high school, there were evening self-study sessions, and they had to start having make-up classes on weekends. The ordinary class only started holding make-up classes in the second half of the second year of high school. Moreover, the evening self-study sessions only started in the first half of the second year of high school, so compared to the other key classes, the ordinary class would have a more relaxed curriculum.
Most schools had a few key classes, so the ordinary classes aimed for the first and second high schools. The key classes naturally targeted the key universities, so the teaching levels were all different. Shuishui was able to get a score of 755 points, which meant that her foundation was very solid. What was surprising was that Shuishui did well in the science subjects.
Of course, Shuishui still insisted on what she wanted. She didn't want to waste time on studying. In regard to the science subjects, she was confident in her knowledge of them. She had been immersed in them for many years. Besides, they were only high school science subjects. She aimed to study the second year science subjects. She also was not reluctant to study the arts subjects.
Because Shuishui spoke very calmly and eloquently, she did not need to explain further. She promised that she wouldn't be lax and would continue to work hard. After trying to dissuade her, the other party finally relented.
When the decision was finalized, the school received news that Shuishui had been admitted to the first high school. After all, Shuishui was the one who wrote the first high school. The admission notice would be given to the best.
When the teachers found out about it, they were all stunned. The most unbelievable thing had happened. Mu Zilin, who didn't like to study, also got 600 points and was admitted to the third high school. The class they belonged to wasn't considered exceptional, and there were only two of them who qualified. Class presidents and study committee members, who were already considered the best, only got into the sixth high school, and their scores hovered around 570. This was considered as average, and they were qualified to enter good high schools. However, one belonging to one of the important classes got into the first high school, three got into the second high school, and a few others got into the third high school. Others were not that lucky.
The most incomprehensible thing was that Qian Shuishui's score of 755 was the highest in their middle school examination that year, and highest mark from one of the students in the important class was only 702 points.
Cheating was impossible because the conduct of that year's examination was very strict. There were patrolling teachers outside, and there were cameras inside. The teachers had also checked the students, so Shuishui and Mu Zilin could not have cheated. The camera recordings were checked. and it was found that they didn't do anything unusual other than answer the questions. When they finished the test, they handed their papers in without even checking or reviewing.
On the day students were asked to report to school, Shuishui went earlier than usual. She entered the classroom and found her seat. Not long after, other students arrived one after another. When Mu Zilin arrived, he gave Shuishui a bottle of milk. "I bought you milk. It's still warm."
"Thank you." Shuishui took it, opened it, and drank it. Others in their class were quite envious of Shuishui because her relationship with Mu Zilin was very pure and platonic. They had always been friends and their relationship had never evolved into something romantic. They played together every day. Mu Zilin once had an ambiguous partner, and they did not get together because the partner could not accept that Mu Zilin had other female friends. At that time, Shuishui was very tough and looked down on those who did not have money.
Of course, Shuishui had changed. She had become more rational and mature. She was not as childish as she used to be. Shuishui also felt that it was too early for Mu Zilin to fall in love because he was still young and not mature enough to have a girlfriend. If he was abandoned, wouldn't he die? Many people had been deeply hurt by their first love because they did not know how to open up. It did not really matter if it was a man or a woman experiencing the hurt. It was just a matter of who was more affectionate and who was more heartless.
This was what a friend of hers had told her before. Her friend's boyfriend was not very good to her, and she had changed after the relationship. This was because she realized that many things, especially men, were not necessary to her and that she could live well on her own.
Almost all of the students had arrived, but there were some who did not show up for unknown reasons.
The teacher carried the graduation certificates into the classroom. Everyone was half-reluctant, because that was the last day they would be in school and would no longer be returning to the campus. They looked back and realized that although the teacher had been very strict, she had also been quite good to them. Before, she had even paid for drinks and snacks for them with her own money.
They deeply felt their attachment to the teacher and the school, and their feelings instantly took over them.
Some of the female students could not help but wipe their tears, because they were so sad.
The teacher fondly looked at the students, and tears welled up in the corner of her eyes.
She touched the corner of her eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down. "Students, I'm sure you know what day it is today, and the results of the middle school examination is out. Overall, it's not very good, but it's not bad either. I'll give out the graduation certificate first. Later, we will gather out in the field where you will receive your graduation certificates. The principal will deliver a speech, and the names of students who garnered good scores in the exam will be announced."
Hao Yueli was sitting in the first row of the class. Whether intentionally or not, she turned her head to look at Shuishui and saw that she and Mu Zilin had been talking in a low voice. She was smiling, and she didn't know why she was so happy. 'Forget it.' This time, she had passed the test with a score of 571, which was not bad. For good students to be able to enter good high schools, the middle school examination was crafted to be a little difficult. The tests on the science subjects really gave her a headache. Fortunately, she had performed well.
After the graduation certificate was handed out, Shuishui put her certificate in her bag. The teacher then walked to Shuishui's side with a complicated look in his eyes. "Shuishui, you've performed well this time."
"Thank you. It's all right." She combed through her memory and found that this teacher didn't treat Shuishui and the others badly, but she didn't treat them well either. In any case, she didn't care. Whenever she caused trouble before, she would call her parents and was judged based on her own rationality. Many times before, this teacher had accused Shuishui and Mu Zilin of causing trouble and being at fault, when they were actually innocent. She had been drunk before. Now, she noticed the teacher's complicated gaze. She smiled faintly. It didn't matter anymore. After all, they wouldn't have much contact in the future.
The prerequisite for being respected was respecting others first.
Shuishui's indifferent smile and cold gaze made the teacher feel a little awkward.
The others pricked up their ears to listen. Could it be that Qian Shuishui did well in the exam this time?
