Chapter 21: [21] Grade Release 3
“Right, how did Zhao Wenzong do on the test?” Hu Hao followed up with the question.
Why did these two people in front of her mention these two names? Liu Hui’s face turned pale in an instant.
Seeing that the homeroom teacher’s complexion wasn’t quite right, Zhang Wei and Hu Hao exchanged glances: could it be that both desk-mates performed poorly and angered the homeroom teacher?
“This is troublesome. Now what’s Teacher Liu going to say to Zhao Wenzong and Xie Wanying?” Hu Hao whispered in Zhang Wei’s ear.
Zhang Wei said, “Just tell the truth. Anyway, I know Yingying couldn’t get into medical school; it’s her loss if she doesn’t listen.”
In response, Hu Hao shook his head and waggled his eyebrows as he spoke about his deskmate: “Zhao Wenzong is the same, I don’t know what got into him, he even went on to choose Computer Science at Guoxi University of Technology. What kind of major is that? The one with the highest admission scores in the entire province. Sigh, I really wonder what’s going on in his head; it’s like he’s sick, just like Xie Wanying.”
Suddenly Liu Hui snapped back to her senses upon hearing Hu Hao’s words and was shocked, “What did you say he chose?”
Startled by the homeroom teacher’s abrupt loud voice, Hu Hao stuttered, “Teacher Liu, Zhao Wenzong eventually changed his official form to the Computer Science Department at Guoxi University of Technology. Wasn’t it you who instructed him to change it?”
“How could I possibly tell him to change!” Liu Hui burst out angrily, flailing her arms, “With his grades, he couldn’t possibly get into Guoxi University of Technology, let alone now think of getting into Computer Science—”
“What do you mean ‘let alone now think’?” Hu Hao detected an implication in the homeroom teacher’s words, and he began to break out into a cold sweat in shock, “Teacher Liu, are you saying that Zhao Wenzong’s current grades are good enough for the Computer Science Department at Guoxi University of Technology?”
Realizing she had said too much, Liu Hui quickly clamped her mouth shut.
What she hadn’t anticipated was a group of teachers suddenly hearing her and crowding around, saying to her, “That’s right, Teacher Liu, we heard from the director of the Academic Affairs Office that your class might have a top science scholar emerging. Could it be this student Zhao Wenzong?”
If someone could get into Computer Science at Guoxi University of Technology, who else could it be if not the top scholar?
“No, it’s not!” Liu Hui said loudly, sweat streaming down her back as though she saw Xie Wanying’s figure at the door.
“If it’s not him, does your class have a student who scored high enough to get into a more prestigious university and major than Computer Science at Guoxi University of Technology? Is it a student who got into a university in the Capital?” several teachers pressed Teacher Liu.
Zhang Wei and Hu Hao were just as confused, watching Liu Hui’s hesitant speech, completely clueless about what was happening. Zhang Wei turned around and saw her deskmate standing at the door, calling out, “Yingying, come on in, Teacher Liu is looking for you.”
Xie Wanying smiled, imagining her deskmate likely wanted to see her be the butt of the joke, just like Hu Hao. So with a happy smile, she walked in.
On this side, hearing Zhang Wei summoning Xie Wanying into the room, Liu Hui wanted to glare her to death. When had she wanted to talk to Xie Wanying, a student she had argued with before, wishing she could forever play dead in front of this student?
Walking up to the homeroom teacher, Xie Wanying turned her head and asked her deskmate, “Did only the two of you come?”
“Yes, Monitor Yu and the others didn’t come. Teacher Liu said she informed the monitor; did Monitor Yu tell you to come?” Zhang Wei spoke with her, “I guess the monitor did really well and is at ease; he probably won’t come to pick up the report card until tomorrow.”
Monitor Yu, Xie Wanying remembered that day when she had argued with Teacher Liu, and this Monitor Yu couldn’t wait to become Teacher Liu’s claw to lash out at her.
