"Dad, why did you change seats without giving me a notice beforehand?" Han Jiaojiao pushed the vegetables in her bowl around. She still couldn't help it and added, "Ying Ying didn't get first place on the exam for the first time, and you have already said that her language arts is weak. But in our No. 1 High School, in recent years, who has had better grades than Ying Ying? Isn't it just the total score on the high school exams that count? You…"
"Jiang Wei." Lao Han interrupted suddenly.
"..." Han Jiaojiao suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, "He's just a little bit better at language arts this time. None of his other subjects can compare to Ying Ying."
Lao Han stood up and filled another bowl of rice, and waved at his daughter: "You said just now that the high school exams are based on the total score. No matter how good Zhi Ying is in physics, chemistry, and math, Jiang Wei's total score is higher than her's."
Han Jiaojiao looked at her father's lack of oil and salt, and was so angry that she threw her chopsticks and complained, "Mom, look at him!"
His lack of understanding her point made her quite angry at her father.
Lao Han smiled and replied, "You can't completely blame me for this. Jiang Wei himself said that it's best for classmates to help each other, especially for him and Zhi Ying."
Han Jiaojiao frowned as she tugged on her long braids, "What's the matter with Jiang Wei? Could it be that he asked to change seats?"
Lao Han nodded and explained, "It's not just him, I also think a new arrangement is also good. Jiang Wei has been here for almost a semester, and his progress can be seen in all of the teachers' eyes. If he can learn Zhi Ying's flawless problem-solving skills, then after two years, the glory of No. 1 High School will be on him."
"Then what about Ying Ying?" Han Jiaojiao became more and more uncomfortable. "What do you think of Ying Ying? When she came in, didn't everyone say she was the hope of No. 1 High School?"
"What's wrong with having one more hope?" Lao Han's expression remained unchanged.
"I saw you wrong!" Han Jiaojiao was so angry that she didn't even call him with respect, and ran into her room after getting up abruptly.
"Jiaojiao!" Mother Han turned her head and called out to her daughter.
"Let her be." Lao Han took a piece of meat and put it into his bowl, "She's still young, I bet Zhi Ying, that child probably hasn't figured out what she wants anyway."
"You are their teacher, can't you enlighten them?" Mother Han sighed, looking at her husband helplessly.
"There are some things that they need to figure out by themselves." Lao Han smiled meaningfully. The road was just under their feet, it just depended on when they found out.
Unfortunately, it seemed Zhi Ying couldn't find the road at all, but she did find out that her new deskmate was always distracted in class.
They sat in the last row, and coupled with the good learning atmosphere in the classroom, the teacher did not need to manage classroom discipline at all.
Moreover, the students in Class Zero were sometimes lazy, and they were unwilling to change seats once a week. Thus Zhi Ying had been sitting by the window the entire time.
Jiang Wei sometimes looked over while he was in class. At first Zhi Ying thought he was looking at herself, but when she glanced up, she found that he was looking out the window.
After a long time, Zhi Ying got used to it even if she was still uncomfortable.
What kind of person was he? He didn't listen carefully in class, always looking out the window. She actually lost to such a person? Zhi Ying suddenly felt a little unbalanced in her heart, and then she immersed himself in studying her composition book.
It has been said that everyone has a weakness, and their own blind spot is often incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Zhi Ying's writing and thinking process seemed to be blocked, no matter how she wrote, it was always unsatisfactory. After reading it to Han Jiaojiao, she always had to be silent for a long time before letting Zhi Ying continue to work hard.
"Ying Ying, it's fine, as long as it doesn't deviate from the topic." Han Jiaojiao comforted, "It's good enough to get thirty-five points."
"But I often hover between twenty-five and twenty-eight points. According to statistics, thirty-five points must be an extraordinary performance." Zhi Ying was a little worried. It was reasonable to say that her grades were good enough to enter university. However, someone suddenly appeared and pulled her off the shrine. No matter who it happened to, they wouldn't be convinced, although Zhi Ying didn't care about some shrine.
Putting the written essay composition aside, Zhi Ying fell into a slump.
At this moment, a pair of articulated hands picked up Zhi Ying's essay composition.
Zhi Ying looked up blankly along his slender fingers like white jade, only to see Jiang Wei's clean chin, and further up was his calm and handsome face.
Because of her face blindness, she could not actually see Jiang Wei's face. But at that moment, she felt that she saw a good-looking face. Maybe she had hallucinations from when she wrote the essays...
"You, what are you doing?" Zhi Ying reached out and tried to retrieve her essay composition.
Jiang Wei looked over with his dark brown eyes and answered calmly, "Helping a deskmate."
Zhi Ying originally wanted to say that she didn't need it, but then she thought that she should study her essay composition so that she could regain the first place.
"Thank you." Zhi Ying let go and said politely.
Jiang Wei lowered his eyes, covering up a smile that flashed very quickly in his eyes.
It's just that after seeing the essay composition written by Zhi Ying, the originally relaxed and content mood gradually became complicated.
Jiang Wei now understood that the essay composition that Zhi Ying had written about praising mathematics last semester was actually her greatest skill peak of essay compositions.
He knew every word of the essay composition, and he could understand every sentence. But once it was connected into a paragraph… Jiang Wei felt that the score of more than 20 points the teacher gave was actually a sympathy score.
"How is it?" Zhi Ying temporarily forgot that the two were competitors, and only wanted to know what Jiang Wei thought about her essay composition. After all, his last essay composition was full marks.
"You... need to practice more." After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he picked up a red pen from his desk and circled around a paragraph in her notebook.
"This paragraph is not badly written. Your ideas should start from here, and don't be too divergent." Jiang Wei pointed to the paragraph above which was outlined in red pen and said quietly.
"Oh." Zhi Ying couldn't help but look closer, and Jiang Wei moved his hand a little further.
"And the introduction is too messy, it's better to get straight to the point and mention the question directly." Jiang Wei also leaned over, holding a pen in the other hand and marking on the notebook.
Zhi Ying nodded in a daze. She understood the principle, but when she was writing the essay, her mind became a mess.
Zhao Qian: [F*ck, what are they doing?!]
The 'For Ying Ying' group chat suddenly lit up with a message.
Han Jiaojiao, who had her head lowered while writing her English assignment, didn't notice it. However, Li Ge, who was 'distant' on the other side, saw the message.
Li Ge: [Who?]
Zhao Qian: [Who else is there, look behind me.]
Li Ge turned to look at Zhao Qian, and then looked past him: Zhi Ying and Jiang Wei were head-to-head, quite close.
Li Ge: [What's the situation?]
Zhao Qian: [I don't know, I was doing my homework just now, and I noticed them when I stretched...]
Li Ge: [Hurry up and listen to what they are saying.]
Before Li Ge sent the message, Zhao Qian had already leaned back slightly, trying to hear what Zhi Ying and Jiang Wei were talking about.
"The essay composition requires only three paragraphs. The teacher grades the exam papers quickly. As long as you don't have a problem with the beginning and the end, there is no problem with passing." Jiang Wei said with a slightly hoarse voice unique to his age.
Zhi Ying nodded thoughtfully.
Jiang Wei let go of the essay composition, and suddenly changed his tone: "Since I taught you essay composition, then I'll also trouble you to please also teach me mathematics, physics, and chemistry."
Zhao Qian: [Jiang Wei is really shameless!]
Li Ge: [What's the matter, what's the matter?]
Zhao Qian: [He threatened Ying Ying to teach him mathematics, physics, and chemistry. It was really shameless, how could the teacher let him sit with Ying Ying?]
In Zhao Qian's heart, Zhi Ying was already his brother, metaphorically not literally, for a long time. Although he had mistaken her gender at the beginning, it did not prevent him from treating Zhi Ying as his brother.
Li Ge was also very angry when he saw this news, and he didn't like his new deskmate either because of it. He stared at Qin Li with a death wave, trying to destroy him.
"What are you staring at me for? You like me?" Qin Li asked, irritated by the chubby boy beside him.
"...Crazy!" Not only did Li Ge not successfully make Qin Li dead by staring, he was also angered by him.
Zhi Ying had already agreed at the other side of the classroom. She had reminded Jiang Wei to pay attention to the steps in answering the question originally, and now there was nothing to teach him again.
At this time, Zhi Ying had forgotten that Jiang Wei and her were competitors.
To find an exam paper to exchange and discuss, it was really easy in Class Zero. Almost every two days, there was a quiz.
After the physics quiz paper was handed out, Jiang Wei was deducted five points on the last question. He didn't even look at it, and put it directly on the desk next to Zhi Ying.
"Deskmate, let's exchange quiz papers." Jiang Wei said very naturally.
Zhi Ying glanced at Jiang Wei, wondering why he could call her deskmate so smoothly.
"Oh." Zhi Ying pushed her physics quiz paper towards Jiang Wei, while she picked up his test paper to read.
The answer was right, and there were no mistakes in the steps. However the formula was reduced so much it was almost equivalent to writing the answer directly without any calculation. Zhi Ying looked at his quiz paper and analyzed it.
For a quiz paper of this level, if Zhi Ying was to simply do it, she might write down a number directly. But on a test, she would write it down strictly in accordance with the steps, instead of throwing the steps away like Jiang Wei.
The physics teacher didn't teach all the questions, but selected some of the ones with the highest error rate. It took less than one class period to review one quiz paper.
During this period, Zhi Ying's quiz papers were always in Jiang Wei's hands.
"Have you finished reading it yet?" Zhi Ying wanted her quiz paper back after class. In her opinion, Jiang Wei should be able to understand such a low difficulty level quiz paper just by looking at it.
Jiang Wei held Zhi Ying's quiz paper and didn't move, "I want to look at it again. Do you really need this quiz paper? I'll put my quiz paper with you for later use."
Zhi Ying shook her head, "No, you can read it." Then she returned Jiang Wei's test paper to him.
However, Jiang Wei quickly folded Zhi Ying's quiz paper and put it in his school bag, and then pushed his own quiz paper towards Zhi Ying, "I don't know when I will return the quiz paper to you. My quiz paper will stay with you first, if you want to, you can use mine for review."
Zhi Ying wanted to say that this quiz paper was useless to her, but seeing that Jiang Wei had given her no room to speak, she could only put Jiang Wei's quiz paper in a folder and put it together with her other quiz papers.
Out of the corner of Jiang Wei's eyes, he watched Zhi Ying's movements, and a faint arc appeared on his lips.
Sure enough, Jiang Wei said that the return date of the quiz paper had not yet been determined, and he still did not return it to Zhi Ying even after she completely forgot about the quiz paper.
What Zhi Ying didn't know was that Jiang Wei used this method to exchange all the test papers of the two people. When sorting out old books after graduation, she took out her folder and found that it was almost full of test papers with Jiang Wei's name written on it.
"Ying Ying, do you want to come out to play tomorrow?" Today was Friday, and Han Jiaojiao wanted to ask Zhi Ying to come out and have a talk with Zhao Qian, Li Ge, and herself .
Zhi Ying slowly packed her schoolbag: "Okay."
Jiang Wei had left just now, and Zhao Qian returned to his natural state: "It's settled, we'll go to your house tomorrow to find you."
Now Zhi Ying lived in the city on Saturday and Sunday, but her parents were busy with other businesses after the New Year, and there was no one at home.
Qin Li also followed Li Ge towards Zhi Ying and the three of them.
When Li Ge heard the footsteps, he turned his head and asked angrily, "Why are you following me?"
