Ch 17

Lou Cheng really couldn’t help it. He scored zero anyway, and he was ashamed to listen. He simply took off his school uniform and ran out: “Xiao Ding, I’m going to play basketball, bye-bye.”

He disappeared like a gust of wind.

In the class of analyzing grades, Lou Cheng, the zero duck egg, went to the PE class alone, and the headteacher didn’t bother to care about him. He put down the projection screen and started to talk about the grade directly.

“Among the 45 students in our class, there is only one in the top 10 of the grade. Last time it was two. First in class, Yu Mingchen, with a total score of 951, 700 in science, and 658 in liberal arts.”

“Last time you were ranked 5 in grade, but this time you slipped down, and you ranked 8. You are very balanced. Except for the comprehensive scores, there are no partial subjects. Although our class is a science class, we shouldn’t ignore the scores of liberal arts subjects. And for your rank in a single subject, every subject is okay but not the best. Focus on improving the Chinese language. You only got 120 in the Chinese exam this time. Reflect on it.”

“Second Huang Danlu, overall score 933, Science…”

Every time he reads a name, a row of table data appears on the ppt on the screen. Above are the scores and grades for each subject of the first and second subjects. The highest individual subjects are ranked second and with more than a dozen or even dozens of them.

Old Dou will help every student analyze their scores from his perspective.

“Damn Huang Danlu’s English is 149. It’s too awesome for our class representative.”

“Well, her English is 4 in grade.”

“6 places,” Teacher Dou paused when he read this.

Because a male student in the first row closest to the bulletin board with the transcripts could not stand the slow rate of speech of the class teacher, he pressed his upper body on the table desperately to get closer to the ranking list and was caught off guard. He fell down, and even the table turned upside down, the book fell on the ground, and the dust rose.

The student was so embarrassed, and soon got up unscathed and straightened the table.

Old Dou continued: “6 places, Ding Xuerun, with a total score of 888.” This score is auspicious, that it sounds like a joke.

“Science total score…” He had a strange expression on his face, and he seemed to think that the score was very unbelievable.

From the moment he pronounced the name, there were bursts of inhalation in the class.

“The total score of science is 597, the total score of liberal arts is 590…” With a click of his mouse, Ding Xuerun’s scores of various subjects appeared on the projection screen. Among them, the 0 score of the Chinese subject was very conspicuous.

“What kind of work is zero scores…”

“Oh my god, how come he has so many full marks, 150 in English, math, and physics?? History is also full marks…”

“He seemed to miss the Chinese exam that day.” Someone explained.

Immediately, his single subject ranking appeared on the screen. Except for the zero duck egg, the other subjects were ranked first in the single subject.

“He is too strong…” That row of No. 1 ranking, making people’s backs cold.

In the last row, Ding Xuerun still looks like a gentle student. He stared at the screen quietly. There is not much surprise in his expression, as if he had expected it, and his calmness was beyond expectations.

Of course, he always has this indifferent manner. Some people used to think he was arrogant. Now when they see the score, they suddenly realized…there is a reason for his arrogance.

All of a sudden, the whole class felt a sense of fear for him. This kind of fear came from the heart and subconsciously thought that Ding Xuerun did not take the Chinese exam and ranked sixth. If he did not miss the exam, even if his Chinese was poor, would not it be easy to crush the first grade??

Old Dou didn’t seem to know how to analyze it. After a pause, he said, “The comprehensive literature can be strengthened. Of course, if you study science, this score is already very high.” Ding Xuerun’s comprehensive literature scored 299.

“It’s 290 and it can be improved, hmm ……”

“What else do you need, when you come first in all single subjects?”

“Well……” Old Duo hesitated, “And do not miss the next exam.”

Old Dou quickly skipped him and read the rankings one by one.

However, Ding Xuerun’s grades, his ranking, and his whole person all dropped a They have never seen such an extraordinary person before.

When he saw Ding Xuerun’s full mark in mathematics, Chen Zhibang felt bad in his heart. It’s not that there are only two full marks in the grade, and if their class occupies one, then he…

Sure enough.

“7 places, Chen Zhibang, with a total score of 885, science…” He has to say that the overall scores of class 4 are still good. There are 15 people with a total score of 850 or more, and basically, their total scores in science are all much higher than the liberal arts. The energy of the top students’ daily study is put on the science subjects. Of course, they also have to learn the liberal arts, but they will not learn so deliberately and seriously.

He spent half of the class reading the results of each student, analyzed the shortcomings, partial subjects, and strengths one by one.

When the class was over. Everyone squeezed to the front door of the classroom again to check their grades. Chen Zhibang’s face was ashamed. He maintained his usual level. He also hovered in this ranking on weekdays, but he did not feel lucky or happy. He glanced at Ding Xuerun from a distance. And finally chased the headteacher.

He wants to ask the headteacher for an explanation.

The classroom was noisy for a while because of the grades. Some people were happy and some were worried. Half of the class’s eyes were cast on Ding Xuerun in the last row.

After a while, someone finally couldn’t help it. Sitting in the front row of Ding Xuerun, the girl who seldom talks turned her head and asked him: “Ding Xuerun, you are amazing. I have never seen anyone get so many full marks. And you still have so many subjects ranked one.”

It’s not the first time Zhao Mansha to talk to Ding Xuerun. On ordinary days, she occasionally said a few words. Ding Xuerun also gave her stationery, of course, he directly took out a box of pens and sent them to the students around him one by one, without special treatment to anyone.

Because of Ding Xuerun’s politeness and generosity, no matter how cold he is, many students still have a good impression of him, even if the academic committee always publicizes that he copy answers and doesn’t study.

Zhao Mansha thinks that the other person is very nice, but she is afraid to talk to him. He looks very cold.

Ding Xuerun smiled. When Zhao Mansha saw him smile, she hurriedly said with courage: “Why did you miss your Chinese language exam?”

“Something happened that morning, and I couldn’t walk away.”

“You must have worked hard.”

Ding Xuerun smiled again.

“Well… I have a physics question that I didn’t understand, can you tell me about it?”

Ding Xuerun got a full mark in the physics exam, and the physics teacher just said that in addition to this one full mark, the highest score in their class is 92, which is in this range. 

“Yes.” He put down the things in his hands.

“I want to listen, I want to listen too!” Another female classmate leaned over next to him.

When Lou Cheng returned to the classroom covered in sweat after playing, he discovered for the first time that his illiterate deskmate was surrounded by three girls! ! !

Are they hooking up with Xiao ding? ? ?

Lou Cheng didn’t know what happened during the 45 minutes after he left. He is puzzled and felt a little uncomfortable. When he walked over, he found that Ding Xuerun was actually giving a lecture to others. Is he crazy??

What’s more, they are talking about logic, what’s speed? oh, I don’t understand it at all.

Lou Cheng sat in his seat and suddenly moved his head over. He was almost next to Ding Xuerun. A smell of sweat after exercise got into Ding Xuerun’s nose. He didn’t like the smell of sweat, but Lou Cheng likes to clean himself. He doesn’t have that stinking smell on his body. On the contrary, it is very charming.

Ding Xuerun initially ignored him. He just gently pushed him with his left arm, but suddenly, he felt a drop of sweat fell on the back of his hand when he was speaking, and Lou Cheng put his chin on his shoulder. Turned his head to see what he was talking about.

Lou Cheng’s hair brushed his cheeks.

His voice stopped suddenly: “Lou Cheng, you sit there.”

Lou Cheng’s sourness surged from the bottom of his heart. Three female classmates asked you questions. Are they blind? I don’t know if you can really afford to do so.

“Can’t I listen? I also want to learn mathematics well. Teacher Ding will tell me about it.” He raised his eyebrows.

Ding Xuerun turned his head and glanced at him. The two faces were almost close to each other. He couldn’t help lowering his voice: “We are talking about physics, do you want to listen?”

Lou Cheng didn’t question his skill at all. Ding Xuerun’s voice was so close to him, so gentle that it was going to flow into his heart. Lou Cheng hummed ignorantly, “Listen.”

What happened the following Monday surprised Lou Cheng even more.

It’s already December, and the temperature in D city has dropped completely and it’s snowing.

The campus was covered in snow. Lou Cheng came early for the first time that day. There were many breakfasts on his table. After Lou Cheng sat down, he started drinking hot milk.

Sometimes he couldn’t call Ding Xuerun, because Ding Xuerun wouldn’t make breakfast for him every day. The explanation he often gives is studying. Lou Cheng asked him kindly, and he only came two or three times a week.

Lou Cheng bit the milk straw and suddenly saw the egg-filled pancake on Ding Xuerun’s table. It was very thick and it was a set meal for the whole family!

“You bought it?” Lou Cheng wanted to eat it a little, he wants to eat something salty.

Ding Xuerun was reading and shook his head when he heard the words: “I don’t know, it was on my desk when I came, maybe it’s for you.”

Lou Cheng looked at him hesitantly: “Did you eat this morning? No?”

“Yes, I’m full.” He said concisely.

“Then we’ll each get half of it.” Lou Cheng wanted to eat, but he felt that Xiao Ding was too skinny. He must have a big breakfast. The pancake is big, and half of it for each person is just right.

Ding Xuerun shook his head: “You can eat it.”

Lou Cheng couldn’t say anything to him, because Ding Xuerun was like that. He never eats food from other people. Lou Cheng still remembered what he said last time. He said that he would not eat foods of unknown origin, and he laughed to death.

Lou Cheng happily brought the egg-filled pancake, but suddenly touched a piece of notepaper. He thought it was an expression of interest for himself, but he didn’t care. After a couple of bites, he lowered his head and glanced down.

The note said: “Classmate Ding, breakfast is a source of energy for the day, so you should eat enough.” 

The handwriting is beautiful, and at first glance, it is written by a girl.

Lou Cheng’s face darkened.

“Riiiiip.”

Ding Xuerun heard him tear up the pink notepaper.

Lou Cheng was expressionless: “The handwriting is so ugly, that it makes me feel uncomfortable, the dog crawls on the word.”

Ding Xuerun also saw he doesn’t have the egg-filled pancake anymore: “Are you full?”

“…I’m full! No more eating.”

Oh my God, three girls asked Xiao Ding questions last week! Today Ding Xuerun also received an egg-filled pancake from a girl! Isn’t it time for love letters tomorrow?

Lou Cheng, who has never paid attention to grades and scores, has never seen Ding Xuerun’s scores before.

No matter how clever Ding Xuerun was, he didn’t understand why Young Master Lou suddenly sulking again. However, he was busy listening to the classes and didn’t have time to think about it.

Because of the snow, there will be no exercises between classes today. As soon as the bell is rung, many students go to the snack bar to buy snacks and milk tea.

Ding Xuerun is a southerner who has never seen the heavy snow. He wanted to go out and have a look, so he asked Lou Cheng next to him who was sulking through three classes: “Would you like some milk tea?” I’ll buy you a drink.”

Lou Cheng raised his head: “Then I want to add pudding.”

“Okay, add it.” 

Liu Zhong high school cafeteria has a bakery, milk tea shop, western restaurant, and fruit shop, with a complete range.

The two of them went down the first-floor stairs. There was already a layer of snow on the ground because it was snowing heavily. Ding Xuerun looked up at the bright sky and then opened an umbrella.

Lou Cheng looked at his actions: “…”

Moreover, the old umbrella is printed with the words “Caring for the disabled and conveying care for the city.” Which made Lou Cheng hurt by the few words.

“Is it raining?” He looked up, a little speechless, “It’s not raining, why do you have an umbrella?”

“Don’t you need to use an umbrella when it snows?” Ding Xuerun asked him back.

“Doesn’t it snow in Guilin?”

“It is, but there is no such heavy snow.”

Lou Cheng chuckled and took his arm: “Let’s go, this little snow won’t hurt you.”

Ding Xuerun put the umbrella down. Seeing that he valued his umbrella so much, Lou Cheng asked: “This umbrella is so worn out, why haven’t you thrown it away?”

“It can still be used.” The umbrella was given to him by the government when he first went to work as a volunteer in a mutual aid home for the disabled.

The snowy school is not the same as usual, which makes Ding Xuerun have a novelty-like meeting for the first time.

Because they don’t do exercises between classes, there are so many people in the cafeteria queuing up to buy kebabs, bakeries, and milk tea shops.

Lou Cheng didn’t like to squeeze with people. Ding Xuerun stood in line, and he took a milk tea list to choose from.

Lou Cheng rarely appears here. Every time he appears, he always attracts a lot of people’s attention. People like good-looking things, so they secretly look at him.

However, Lou Cheng was very used to these gazes, and calmly lowered his head to consider what to drink.

“I want Oreo cake milk tea with pudding.” He quickly chose, “Xiao Ding, what do you want to drink?”

“Lemon black tea is fine.”

“This is delicious?”

“Not bad.” It’s brewed by Lipton. Fortunately, it’s cheap. It is the cheapest drink in the milk tea shop.

Lou Cheng said, “Can it be delicious for such a cheap price?”

“You can order one to try.”

Of course, Lou Cheng would not order this sour-sounding tea. He ordered and Ding Xuerun swiped the card. The clerk at the milk tea shop was an aunt, and secretly give a coupon to him, and said, “This is only given when it’s over 50, and no one else has it.” 

The two drinks totaled 26 yuan. Ding Xuerun’s lemon tea was 7 yuan and Lou Cheng’s Oreo cake milk tea with pudding is 19 yuan.

Lou Cheng was still a little embarrassed: “Take my card and buy another 20 skewers of tenderloin.”

“I don’t eat it. It’s synthetic meat and it’s not nutritious.”

“…you really know how to keep healthy.”

After sitting by for a while waiting for milk tea, Lou Cheng was approached by three girls, and all of them were pretty good-looking female students.

One was ‘accidentally’ bumped into him, the girl was covered with Chanel all over seemed to be waiting for him. There was a bold one, asking him directly for WeChat, and Lou Cheng said: “Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my mobile phone.”

The other one bought Xue Mei Niang from the bakery next to Lou Cheng and said, “Senior, milk tea taste more delicious with this. I personally tested it.”

[Xue Mei Niang=daifuku in Japanese/ filled mochi]

This is a junior high school girl.

Lou Cheng didn’t want it.

Lou Cheng is very popular and has many younger brothers. In a short time, many people greeted him, calling him “Brother Cheng”, and asked, “What is Brother Cheng doing here?”

“Waiting for my Oreo milk tea.”

When someone wants to treat him, Lou Cheng said: “Someone has already treated me.”

When they got the milk tea, they immediately plugged the straw into the drink and went out from the milk tea shop. “Do you want to eat Xue Mei Niang?”

It’s a small ball wrapped in glutinous rice skin, which was given to Lou Cheng by the junior high school girl but got rejected, it looks lovely.

Ding Xuerun shook his head: “I don’t want to eat.”

“But I want to eat,” Lou Cheng couldn’t help but drag him to the bakery, “Xiao Ding, swipe my card.”

He bought a box with two small ones in it.

As they walked back, Lou Meng drank his milk tea and got tired of it. The taste of mixed oreo, cream, and pudding, succeeded in making Lou tired of it.

He turned his head and stared at Ding Xuerun’s lemon black tea, which was just a black tea bag with a few slices of lemon floating in it, but it didn’t look so greasy.

“Xiao Ding, yours looks better than mine.”

Ding Xuerun looked at him, holding warm black tea in his hand: “Would you like a sip?”

Lou Cheng’s heart was shaken, his cleanliness habit conquered his reason: “Hmm…I don’t want to drink it anymore.”

Because Ding Xuerun bought the milk tea, Lou Cheng didn’t throw it away but took it back to the classroom.

When he returned to the classroom, he took another sip unwillingly, but he still felt tired of it. The milk tea sold at the school was indeed of poor quality… Lou Cheng glanced at the lemon black tea on Ding Xuerun’s table again.

Ding Xuerun went out to the toilet.

Lou Cheng watched him go out. After his figure was gone, he struggled for a while. He could not hold back, so he took Xiao Ding’s unfinished lemon tea, took a quick sip, and put it back, pretending that nothing happened.

Of course, he who has an addiction to cleanliness refuses to eat other people’s saliva, which is impossible in this life, so he wiped it with a tissue before touching the straw with his lips.

Ding Xuerun came back. He didn’t know that the black tea had been touched by Lou Cheng, so he lowered his head and took a sip of the straw.

The straw tip is wet.

Lou Cheng suddenly stood up.

Ding Xuerun asked him what’s wrong.

Lou Cheng said he was in hurry to pee and then ran away.

He just saw Ding Xuerun drinking that cup of black tea, and he was very uncomfortable. He wiped it while drinking, but he forgot to wipe his saliva after drinking it. Xiao Ding just had a straw in his mouth, doesn’t it mean that Ding Xuerun ate his saliva…

That night, during the Chinese evening self-study, the Chinese teacher called Ding Xuerun out alone and had a heart-to-heart talk for a few minutes.

“Why did you miss the Chinese language exam?” 

When he saw the transcript of class 4, he suddenly saw the student who scored zero in the Chinese language exam, which surprised him.

With zero scores in the Chinese language exam, the students who dragged down the class actually got first place in their grades!

Most of them are full marks, not full marks but still close to full marks.

He wondered if the student had a problem with him.

Ding Xuerun explained but the Chinese teacher was still dissatisfied, and he felt a sigh of relief in his heart: “I will give you a piece of essay paper. You will learn and write the essay, and then give it to me later.”

So many days have passed since the exam, and the answers have come out long ago. Of course,  it is impossible for him to let Ding Xuerun do the problem now, and he didn’t know his true level is.

On the contrary, writing an essay, you can clearly see a person’s Chinese foundation.

So, other students studied on their own, and Ding Xuerun immersed himself in writing the essay. During this period, Zhao Mansha, the girl sitting in front of him, turned around and quietly stuffed him with snacks.

It’s indeed a class of top students, but the top students also like to eat snacks and even eats under the nose of the teacher.

Ding Xuerun writes his essay quickly. He writes quickly and his brain works quickly. He wrote 800 characters in less than half an hour.

Writing almost non-stop.

After he finished writing, he read it to check and handed it in.

The Chinese teacher glanced at the big clock at the back of the classroom: “Half an hour?”

He spread out the essay papers, looking like an old scholar, and began to read Ding Xuerun’s essay.

First of all, the intuitive feeling is that the handwriting is beautiful. Needless to say, the essays must be full marks.

The first paragraph is a parallel and a figurative sentence. The text is so beautiful, and he can’t help but nodding himself, but this is just the beginning. The more he read it, the more surprised he becomes!

“Okay!” He couldn’t help but patted his thigh, his eyes glistening.

The students who were quietly studying in the audience looked at the teacher in surprise, wondering what he was watching, watching a football game, so selfless?

The Chinese exam papers for this exam have all been distributed. There are several excellent model essays in the grade, but those model essays are not as good as the one in hand. Not to mention the literary talent, but only the profundity of the content, there is a big difference!

He called Ding Xuerun up again and asked a few questions. Have you written about this topic before? Have you read all these books? And so on.

“The composition is very good. I’ll take it first and showed it to other teachers. I’m going to print it as a model essay and send it out.”

Ding Xuerun wrote the essays under his nose, and there is no possibility of plagiarism, so the essays must have been written by himself. Moreover, he is very fluent and does not think about it at all.

This is the most surprising.

On Wednesday, a phone call was made to the Education Bureau, reporting that the unified exam questions had leaked.

The Education Bureau took it seriously and immediately contacted the principal of Liu Zhong High School.

Principal Zhou stood up in fear: “Is there such a thing?”

“Students in our school buy the answer?”

“We also received a report. There is a student in your school who is the first in a single subject except for missing the Chinese exam, and most of them are still full marks?” 

The principal paused, and he thought of Ding Xuerun, who was the child of his old classmate Ding Zhaowen, a good student who had just transferred to Liu Zhong high school. Although he has a bad record in his file, according to what Ding Zhaowen told him, the child fought because the other side had been bullying their school’s special students. Ding Xuerun was the one who was injured, he was stabbed in the waist by a bad student.

To be honest, Ding Xuerun’s exam results this time were also beyond his expectations. Regardless of the missing subject, each of the other sub-subjects can be picked up and beat the others. This is similar to the strength he showed before, but this time he played even better.

“There is such a student… but it’s impossible for him to cheat.” The principal believed the student more.

“We need to investigate.” The other end of the phone said solemnly, “It is a very serious matter to leak the question.”

The author has something to say: 

Lou Cheng: It is impossible to eat saliva. I will never eat other people’s saliva in my life. Disgusting

Lou Cheng: It’s really fragrant
