“…”
This sentence made the classroom quiet again.
The students couldn’t help but look at the corner again, and this time, all the voices of rebuttal were swallowed back into their stomachs.
The girl sat there quietly, and the sunlight dyed her eyebrows and eyes light gold.
There was no deliberate embellishment, but she was inadvertently beautiful and breathtaking.
Was this kind of beauty really something that people could have?
It was an understatement to say that she was a goddess.
Ying Feifei was so angry: “Do you dare to say this in front of Xiao Xuan?”
The classmates looked at each other, and no one spoke anymore, and started their morning self-study.
There was only a five-minute break between morning self-study and the first class. Some students went to get water, and some went to the bathroom.
Ying Zijin supported her elbows and looked at English Elective 8 boredly, and her thoughts drifted back to the time she was in Country Y.
In that era, people still spoke Middle English, and modern English was simplified a lot, so it was quite fast to learn. When the five minutes were up, the bell rang, and the first class was English.
The English teacher was a woman in her early forties, and her surname was Deng.
She walked in on time with the bell, holding a stack of papers in her hands: “Everyone knows the results of the final exam, I’ll hand out the papers to you now.”
“The questions were difficult this time, but everyone did well.”
The students all breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the papers of the Youth Talent Class were so abnormal that the whole network mourned for them.
It was just that English in it was sometimes harder than IELTS.
“Zhong Zhiwan, 123 points, first in the class.” Teacher Deng handed out the papers and read out the results, “… Lu Fang, 94 points, Ying Feifei…”
She didn’t read out the results until the last paper was left in her hand.
Teacher Deng pushed her glasses and said in a kind voice: “Ying Zijin, come and get your paper.”
Ying Zijin nodded and walked forward.
Lu Fang was unhappy: “Teacher Deng, our results have been read out, why not hers?”
He didn’t know that Ying Zijin’s English score of 30 points was an extraordinary performance.
Teacher Deng smiled good-naturedly: “If classmate Ying agrees.”
Lu Fang immediately looked at the girl and said arrogantly: “Ying Zijin, you don’t mind letting everyone know your grades, right?”
Ying Zijin took the test paper from Teacher Deng and walked away.
She completely ignored Lu Fang and didn’t even look at him.
Lu Fang almost went crazy.
Ying Feifei gloated: “Zhiwan, I saw it. She only got 25 points. It’s so embarrassing. No wonder she doesn’t want it to be known.”
Zhong Zhiwan didn’t respond, thinking about it, not knowing what she was thinking.
“Okay, let’s start explaining the questions now.” Teacher Deng picked up the chalk, “I will call on people to answer questions at any time. If you can’t answer…”
There was a sudden wailing from the audience.
Even Zhong Zhiwan only got 123 points, which showed how abnormal the questions were.
Ying Zijin glanced at her own test paper and thought about it.
Well, it seemed that she was really a poor student before she woke up.
Teacher Deng’s lectures were not fast, and she would take care of students who were weak in English, but she could not tolerate someone being distracted in class.
A piece of chalk was thrown over: “Lu Fang, explain reading comprehension question 64.”
Lu Fang looked at the question and found that he had done it wrong.
Moreover, he could not understand a single word in the question options. He was dumbfounded and sweating anxiously.
Seeing this, Ying Feifei shouted: “Teacher Deng, Zhiwan did not solve this question. It must be very difficult, but I just saw Ying Zijin write it correctly. She should come up to explain it.”
Zhong Zhiwan also raised her hand and smiled: “Teacher Deng, I also want to know how classmate Ying did this question. Can you ask classmate Ying to explain it?”
As soon as Zhong Zhiwan spoke, many people in the class agreed.
“Yes, Teacher Deng.”
“We are all very curious.”
The difficulty of this question was far beyond the standard, and no one in the class could do it.
Teacher Deng frowned and was about to say something when a girl stood up slowly in the corner.
She held the test paper in one hand, glanced at it, and spoke casually.
Lu Fang and Ying Feifei, who were about to mock, heard a string of fluent words spoken in a pure British accent: “…”
Zhong Zhiwan turned her head suddenly.
Ying Zijin finished the question in 30 seconds: “To sum up, choose D for question 64.”
Teacher Deng was very surprised: “The answer is very good, that’s it, please sit down.”
Ying Zijin sat down and twirled the pen.
She exuded the signal of “a bunch of garbage”.
The whole class: “…”
Ying Feifei couldn’t believe it: “Zhiwan, she actually knows it?”
Didn’t she guess it?
The smile on Zhong Zhiwan’s lips froze: “Who knows?”
Just at this moment, Teacher Deng asked again: “Zhong Zhiwan, do you understand?”
Zhong Zhiwan blushed and she lowered her head: “I understand.”
“Alas, you really disappoint me.” Teacher Deng sighed, “You have been studying with me for so long, but you are not as good as classmate Ying Zijin who came halfway. After you go back, study hard for me.”
The whole class was silent, and no one dared to speak again.
The class ended quickly. After class, Teacher Deng called Ying Zijin up.
“Did you practice speaking during the winter vacation?”
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows: “Yes.”
“Not bad, it’s a good start. Your foundation is a bit weak, and you can’t do too difficult questions.” Teacher Deng said, “I’ll give you some basic question sets. Do you have time to come to my office at noon to get them?”
Ying Zijin did not refuse this kindness, even though she didn’t need it: “Yes.”
“Work hard.” Before leaving, Teacher Deng patted her on the shoulder, “Don’t take other people’s words to heart.”
At noon, everyone in the classroom went out to eat.
Ying Zijin took a bite of tomato and looked down at her WeChat messages. She had very few WeChat contacts, and the only ones who would send her messages were Fu Yunshen and Wen Tinglan.
As for the former, he was always treating her like a child recently, such as this message today.
Yaoyao, did you eat well at noon?
No, I ate tomatoes.
She was quite picky about food.
Ten seconds later, Fu Yunshen sent a voice message directly.
His voice was always very nice, low and deep, like notes jumping on the tip of the heart.
Little friend, it’s only been a short time since we separated, and you are disobedient again. You must eat well.
Oh.
Okay, it seems that your brother will have to keep an eye on you. See you in the evening and we’ll see if our Yaoyao has lost weight.
Ying Zijin stared at this sentence, rubbed her head, and put the phone back in her pocket.
After finishing the last bite of tomato, she got up and went to the English group office.
After knocking on the door, she walked in.
In addition to Teacher Deng, there was only one young man in the office.
After the door was closed, Teacher Deng turned to him and said, “Teacher He, this child gave me a big surprise today. Her spoken English is so beautiful.”
That was not an ordinary British accent, but Queen’s English – pure royal British accent.
It was incredible.
He Xun heard this and asked indifferently, “What’s the use?”
He helped Teacher Deng teach a few classes in the elite class, so he naturally knew what Ying Zijin was like.
Not motivated, not hardworking.
He disliked this kind of student the most.
