Volume 1 Chapter 17: One Cry Shocks the World

  Chen Peng grew up at this time, his mouth was looking at Li Yifan, he didn't know what to say, and on the other side, Guo Chuang also stared wide-eyed, if he wasn't higher than Li Yifan in science comprehensive scores, he would definitely be pulled behind him too.

  Dong Qichang was even more shocked, his jaw almost dropping to the ground. How could this be? This guy's grades were actually better than his own! And to think that the teacher hadn't even called out his own name yet!

  Gao Junzhe, who was sitting on the other side, had already turned pale at this time. If it were anyone else who scored such a high score, he could accept it, but Li Yifan, this kid, scored such a high score, what does this mean? Does it mean that next year they will still be in the same class?

  Tang Yuan and Tang Fang, who usually looked down on Li Yifan, also grew their mouths big and rounded their eyes. They both turned back to stare at Li Yifan, as if a flower had bloomed on his face.

  But Tang Tian couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand after hearing the results, this was just too... She couldn't help but turn around and glance at the young man sitting diagonally behind her, his expression still very calm, without a hint of joy or surprise, his face abnormally tranquil, as if all of this had been part of his plan from the beginning. Suddenly she found his expression to be quite infuriating.

  Why isn't he like those other seventeen-year-old boys?

  Dong Qichang, who was sitting behind Tang Tian, also saw Tang Tian's expression when she turned her head to look at Li Yifan. At this moment, his heart was churning with anger. Damn it, Li Yifan, you son of a bitch, what kind of luck do you have?

  In the front row, a girl wearing a green dress also turned her head at this time, looking in Li Yifan's direction. The big eyes on her goose-egg face blinked constantly, as if she wanted to see through Li Yifan. How did he do it?

  Li Yifan also felt the gaze cast by the green dress, that girl was Yue Ling! The girl he had secretly loved for a long time!

  If Tang Tian is the purple shirt of the class and the flower language represents pride, then Yue Ling is the chrysanthemum of the class, her flower language is gorgeous.

  Yue Ling was one of the two class flowers in Class 3, along with Tang Tian. Even among the first-year students at No. 1 Middle School, her reputation was well-known. Although her academic performance wasn't as good as Tang Tian's, her title as a talented young woman wasn't undeserved - she had achieved level 10 in piano and had even won national awards for her painting. Such a multi-talented student had long been sought after by teachers from various arts classes.

  When Li Yifan was in elementary school, he came to Bincheng from his grandfather's side and entered the second experimental primary school. From then on, he and Yue Ling were classmates, and they went all the way from junior high school to high school together. They had always been classmates.

  In elementary school, they could still say a few words to each other, but as soon as they entered junior high school, with the widening gap in academic performance and family environment, they hardly had any intersection at all, and by the time they reached high school, it was even more so.

  At that time, Tang Tian was the most outstanding person in the class, and Li Yifan deeply knew the gap between him and Tang Tian, so he never dared to have any thoughts about Tang Tian from the bottom of his heart. However, for Yue Ling, he had been thinking of her all along the way.

  His good friend Chen Peng understood this point even more. The fact that he secretly loved Yue Ling was spread from Chen Peng's big mouth.

  That day, he was fooling around in the corridor outside the classroom and accidentally tore off Yue Ling's princess dress. As a result, he was handed over to Gao Junzhe, who had secretly admired Yue Ling for months, to fix him up. After that day, Yue Ling did not appear in class for several days until the exam and the announcement of the results, when Li Yifan saw her again.

  In their past life, after that accidental event, there didn't seem to be much anxiety between the two of them. Later on, Yue Ling even became the girlfriend of that damned Gao Jun Ze.

  I don't know if in the future, she will still remember that little yellow dog squatting beside her, looking at her with dirty eyes as she danced among the crowd. Will she still recall that first year of junior high school when a boy comforted her after being scared and cried by her classmates during a game of hide-and-seek? Maybe those memories have already been automatically erased from her mind.

  At this moment, those childhood memories, like a series of yellowed old photos, kept flashing through Li Yifan's mind, and his heart inexplicably felt a little sour.

  "Hey! I'm talking to you, Li Yifan. Don't you have any opinions about me as your teacher? Why don't I see you putting in so much effort during regular exams? You're just hovering around 34th place, do you know how worried we teachers are about students in this score range? Can't you make it easier for me, the class advisor, to worry less about you normally? Must you only put in effort at critical moments?! And what's with your comprehensive exam? I looked at your physics section and saw that many of the not-so-hard questions were wrong, but those extremely hard ones you got right. You handed in your paper just 40 minutes after the exam started, what's the rush? Can't you even check it over?"

  Zhou Yu's face on stage was relaxed and seemed to be hiding his true feelings, but the joy on his face was evident to many of his classmates.

  He rarely cracked a joke, and as a high school class teacher for many years, he had led many students. Those high school students, especially the talented ones, would suddenly make a breakthrough at some point, and once they did, their grades would soar rapidly. This was not the first or second time he had encountered such situations, so he wasn't surprised when several dark horses emerged in every high school exam.

  But this time, Li Yifan suddenly emerged from the list, still making him feel a bit surprised. Before that, he had encountered many dark horse students who could improve their scores by tens of places at once, but this time's Li Yifan really overturned his understanding of dark horses again. This student quietly jumped from outside the top 40 in the class to the top 10 in the class and the top 30 in the grade, which was a bit too big of a leap.

  However, this student is a bit arrogant and too careless. When he took the science comprehensive exam, he handed in his paper after just 40 minutes, if he had been more careful, it's possible that he could have really challenged Tang Tian. It's likely that the top spot in this year's grade level will be yielded.

  Suddenly, a dark horse student emerged, and Zhou Yu felt very happy, although he would not be the head teacher of this class next year.

  Decades of teaching career, has life become a bit too bland? When an originally unknown person suddenly gives you a big surprise, who can still remain calm? Life needs such great joys and sorrows!

  Zhou Yu was joking on the stage, and the atmosphere below the stage also became lively. Many classmates looked at Li Yifan with a gaze as if they were looking at a monster. This guy is amazing! He quietly caught up, and it seems like he's waiting for everyone to be shocked!

  Although Teacher Zhou is very close to his students, he doesn't often joke around with them. Students who know him well understand that when he speaks in this tone to a student, it means he has great approval for that student. After all, Zhou Yu is one of the few national-level teachers at school, a living advertisement for the school, and a very unique individual who has taught many generations of students. Although he's humorous and easy-going during class, privately, he's actually quite serious and rarely gives praise to any particular student.

  Today he said to Li Yihuan in front of the whole class, although it was said in a teasing tone, but his classmates could still hear the appreciation in his voice.

  Although it's still a school, it's a variant of the jungle law where only the strong survive and the weak are preyed upon. The same rules apply here, except that people have changed the rule to "might makes right".

  But how to define a strong person, if your family has money, you are a strong person, if your family has power, then you are also a strong person, if you look good, play ball well, sing well, you are also a strong person, all of the above can gain ordinary students' respect.

  But what makes ordinary students and teachers look at them with admiration is those excellent students, who are the pride of heaven wherever they go in the campus.

  At this time, many classmates looked at Li Yifan's eyes and had already changed. Li Yifan felt a little strange about everyone's change, with a small expectation and a hint of helplessness. Forget it, don't bother with those things anymore.

  Soon, Zhou Yu on the platform continued to read out the scores of other classmates, and the attention of the classmates was also drawn back. Li Yifan wasn't particularly concerned about the scores of other classmates, but he was more concerned about Chen Peng's score.

  At this time, Chen Peng, who was sitting next to Li Yifan, had a somewhat pale face. His good friend scored so well, and he naturally felt the pressure.

  "Chen Peng, 30th place, score..."
