"You're all such a disappointment to me!"
Those words made all the students fall silent.
"There are only 104 days left until the college entrance exam. If you still don't have a sense of urgency, how are you going to get into your dream universities?"
Yang Ting's gaze swept across each student's face. She said in a deep voice, "In this exam, out of 56 students in the class, the average score was only 497.4 points, not even 500 points!"
Hearing this average score, many students gasped secretly.
They finally understood why Teacher Yang was so angry.
The average score wasn't even 500 points.
That was too low!
The average score in the past was usually around 550 points.
It was no wonder she was angry that the average score had suddenly dropped by more than fifty points.
Hearing this average score, Ye Fan smiled bitterly in his heart.
As expected of Zhenhua High School!
An average score of almost 500 points, if this score was placed in his previous school, the homeroom teacher would probably be overjoyed.
But in Zhenhua High School... tsk tsk.
The difference!
This was the difference between an ordinary high school and a key high school!!!
"Alright, let's announce the total scores for this exam."
Yang Ting took out the transcript she had stayed up late to compile and started reading out the scores.
"Cao Zhishun, 481 points."
"Huang Hao, 463 points."
...
"Zhao Wenhao, 399 points!"
Yang Ting glared at Zhao Wenhao and reminded him, "Zhao Wenhao, do you know how many points you dragged the class average down by?"
"Because of you, our class average was lowered by almost two points!"
Zhao Wenhao blushed and lowered his head, his expression unnatural.
His grades had always been poor, far below the normal level of Zhenhua High School.
Now that he was called out by Yang Ting, his face burned with embarrassment.
Yang Ting glared at Zhao Wenhao and continued announcing the scores.
"Ning Xi, 674 points."
No one was surprised by Ning Xi's score.
Because Ning Xi was always one of the top two students in the class and consistently ranked in the top five of the grade.
Her scores in the usual tests were basically above 700 points.
She was known as a potential Tsinghua University student.
674 points wasn't high for her.
Deng Yu clenched his fists secretly.
He had always been competing with Ning Xi for first place in the class.
He lost more often than he won!
Now that he saw Ning Xi only got 674 points, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He had just boasted that he could get 700 points.
What if he couldn't...
That would be so embarrassing!
"Tan Yehan, 593 points."
"Yi Hongyu, 601 points."
When she reached here, Yang Ting paused and glanced at Deng Yu.
Immediately, Deng Yu tensed up.
"Deng Yu, 651 points."
Hearing this score, many students showed surprise on their faces.
"What's going on?"
"Only 651 points? Didn't Deng Yu say he could get 700 points?"
"So low?"
Deng Yu blushed and stood up. "Teacher, is there a mistake? How come I only got 651 points? You know my usual scores, they're always around 700 points..."
"That's your usual score!"
Yang Ting interrupted coldly. "The scores have been checked several times by the teachers, there can't be a mistake. 651 points is what you got. Instead of questioning me, why don't you reflect on yourself?"
Deng Yu was speechless, his face ashen.
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have boasted.
It was all Ye Fan's fault. If it weren't for him, how could he...
"Quiet down!"
As soon as Yang Ting spoke, the discussion instantly subsided.
"Zhao Li, 612 points."
"Ye Fan..."
She paused and slowly said, "700 points!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the classroom erupted in an uproar.
"Are you kidding me?"
"700 points? Impossible!"
"Didn't Ye Fan miss the Chinese exam? How could he possibly get 700 points??"
...
Deng Yu stood up impatiently and said loudly, "Teacher, there's something wrong with this score. Ye Fan didn't take the Chinese exam, even if he got perfect scores in all the other subjects, he could only get 600 points at most, not 700!"
Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but chime in, "That's right!"
At this moment, the two of them were united in their opposition.
"Who said Ye Fan didn't take the Chinese exam?"
Yang Ting frowned. "In the last ten minutes, Ye Fan finished the entire Chinese test paper except for the essay, and he got a perfect score."
"Impossible!"
Deng Yu blurted out in disbelief, "That's impossible! Ten minutes is not enough time, and the test paper was so difficult, how could he get a perfect score? How can someone not lose a single point?"
"Yeah!"
"That's outrageous!"
"Not losing a single point? Do you think this is a movie? No, even movies wouldn't dare to portray it like that!"
Many students whispered among themselves. They shared Deng Yu's thoughts.
Without the essay, the maximum score for all the papers was only 700 points. How could someone get a perfect score?
This was bullshit!
"Bang!"
Yang Ting slammed her hand on the desk and glared at Deng Yu. "Are you done?"
Deng Yu said, "Teacher, this time's..."
"Sit down!"
Yang Ting's face darkened. "I and the other teachers have checked Ye Fan's test paper three times, there can't be a mistake. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't!"
Ye Fan remained calm throughout.
With a cheat, if he couldn't even do this, he might as well kill himself by smashing his head against a tofu.
As for the doubts, he didn't care at all.
Doubting was their right, but it wouldn't affect the outcome in any way.
Yang Ting announced, "Ye Fan got first place in this exam, so he can choose the other person for his study group."
"After class, Su Ke, please collect everyone's choices."
"Okay."
Su Ke nodded in response.
"Alright, now I'll hand out the test papers. Take a look at the mistakes you made..."
...
"Ring!"
As soon as Yang Ting left, the classroom instantly became noisy.
"Oh my God, 700 points!"
"Not only is he handsome, but he also has such good grades. He's perfect!"
"How did he do it? He got 700 points without even writing the essay. Is he even human?"
These words were like needles piercing Deng Yu's ears.
He stood up and walked over to Ye Fan's desk, questioning loudly, "Did you cheat? Otherwise, there's no way you could have gotten 700 points!"
Instantly, everyone's eyes turned towards them.
The corner of Ye Fan's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at Deng Yu as if he was looking at an idiot.
"Is your brain fried?"
Deng Yu: "..."
He was too arrogant!
This was unbearable!
"You..."
He had just spoken when he was interrupted by a voice behind him.
"Excuse me, let me through."
Passing by Deng Yu, Su Ke asked, holding a pen and paper, "Ye Fan, who do you want to be in your group with?"
"Ning Xi."
Ye Fan's voice wasn't too loud or too soft, and at this time, almost everyone's eyes were on him, so almost everyone heard his words.
"Boo..."
The boys looked envious.
The girls felt a little disappointed. Why wasn't it them...
Ning Xi's face instantly flushed red.
She was having a mental breakdown.
Couldn't this person speak a little softer?
Luo Yumeng was a little stunned. She poked Ning Xi and said resentfully, "Xiao Xi, are you abandoning me?"
"I..."
Just as Ning Xi was about to explain, Ye Fan interrupted her.
"Yes."
Ning Xi: "..."
Looking at Ye Fan and then at Ning Xi, Su Ke smelled a hint of romance, a knowing smile appearing on her face. "Xiao Xi, are you willing?"
"I... I... am."
The last two words were barely audible.
Luo Yumeng sighed. "Alas, no one can escape the fate of prioritizing love over friendship."
She patted Ning Xi's shoulder. "But I don't blame you. As your best friend, I'm happy to see you with such a handsome guy like Ye Fan."
"You... don't talk nonsense."
Ning Xi's face was flushed. "This is just a study group."
"I understand, I understand."
Luo Yumeng winked, then turned to Su Ke and blinked. "Su Su, since Ning Xi doesn't want me anymore, will you take me?"
"No problem."
Su Ke smiled gently and wrote down Ye Fan and Ning Xi's names on the paper on Ning Xi's desk, then wrote her name and Luo Yumeng's name together.
Deng Yu saw the whole process.
At this moment, he was so frustrated that he almost vomited blood...
...
After lunch.
The study groups had all been finalized.
Ye Fan got his wish and became Ning Xi's deskmate.
"Do you want to sit inside or outside?"
"Either is fine."
"Sit inside."
Ye Fan said, "I've already cleaned it for you, just sit down."
"Thank you."
Ning Xi sat down at the inner seat, and the first thing she did was draw a straight line in the middle of the desk with a pencil.
Ye Fan stared at Ning Xi in surprise. "What are you doing?"
"This... this is the boundary line..."
Ning Xi lowered her head guiltily, her voice weak.
She knew it wasn't a good thing to do, but this was the first time she had shared a desk with a boy, and she was very nervous.
"Xiao Xi, why are you so cute?"
