Chapter 193: Announce the Results

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The busy weekend came to an end, and Monday arrived.

Today, the school would announce the results of the last exam.

The entire floor where the senior students were located was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Everyone waited anxiously for the teachers to reveal their exam results.

In the final stretch of their senior year, all the students were on edge, afraid to make any mistakes.

One of the most nervous students was Mei Mu.

Although she was confident in her own performance, when it came to the moment of revealing the answers, she couldn’t help but feel her heart racing.

Last night, her grandmother and Wang Yue accompanied her.

Her grandmother had informed her about what had happened at home.

If it weren’t for Mei Shu’s interference, her father had originally intended to provide her with the money she needed!

Furthermore, her grandmother had repeatedly reminded her in one way or another that she should repay the money to her grandmother once she started earning.

She had to pretend to agree for now and not hurt her grandmother’s feelings.

In a way, it was all Mei Shu’s fault. If it weren’t for Mei Shu meddling, she wouldn’t have had to bear such pressure!

Mei Mu slightly turned her head and could see Mei Shu studying behind her.

Mei Mu silently cursed her for pretending before she turned away, not wanting to see her anymore.

The bell for class rang soon.

Students who had previously been sighing and worrying about their grades suddenly straightened up in their seats, their eyes following the teacher’s every step as they watched him approach the podium.

“Students, the exam results are out, and 1 have a few words to say about these scores,” the homeroom teacher said solemnly, scanning the classroom. Everyone could feel the tension in the air.

The students saw his expressionless face and felt their hearts sink.

Had all their efforts been in vain?

Just as they were beating the drums in their hearts, ready to endure the verdict, the teacher suddenly burst into laughter. A smile spread across his face, and he said, “I must say, I’m truly surprised by the results of our class this time. I never expected our students to improve so rapidly! Even the average score far surpasses other classes and ranks first!”

For a moment, the classroom fell into stunned silence.

After a while, a burst of enthusiastic applause broke out.

The teacher smiled and gestured for them to quiet down. “Now, let’s announce the results. 1’11 start with students ranked third to tenth. When I call your name, you can come up and get your score report and test paper.”

Mei Mu’s tensed body relaxed slightly.

She had always ranked in the top three in the class before, and this time, with her diligent review, her name definitely wouldn’t be among the third to tenth places.

Seeing the teacher’s act of building suspense, she guessed that her name would probably be called out later as one of the top three students in the class.

With this thought in mind, she helplessly shook her head and continued to work on her questions.

Little did she know that even before she could put her pen to paper, the teacher had called out her name.

“Mei Mu, seventh place, your performance has been stable, ranking fifteenth in the grade, showing some improvement. Keep up the good work.”

“What?” Mei Mu couldn’t believe it. She stood up from her seat without moving her legs to retrieve her test paper from the front.

How could this be?

She only ranked fifteenth in the grade?

And her score ranked only seventh in the class?

“Mei Mu, come and get your score report,” the teacher called her again when he saw she was still standing there.

This time, Mei Mu hurriedly rushed to the front, snatched her score report and test paper from the teacher’s hand, and stared at her scores in disbelief.

The report contained the improvement in her scores for all subjects. While her scores had indeed improved in every subject, how could she be only seventh in the class and fifteenth in the grade?

Who were the top three in the class this time then?

Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at Mei Shu, whose name hadn’t been called yet.

Could it be her…?

“Mei Mu, what’s wrong with you? Are you so happy that you’ve gone silly?” The teacher was unaware of the conditions agreed upon between her family and the grade director, so he assumed she was simply overjoyed at seeing her rank improve by five places in the grade.

Hearing the teacher’s words, other students chuckled, and their mocking gazes fell on her.

Mei Mu’s face turned crimson, and she quickly grabbed her test paper and report card, returning to her seat with her head down, trembling all over.

She didn’t dare to imagine the expression on her mother’s face when she handed over this report card to Wang Yue.

One by one, many students received their test papers, but Mei Shu’s name wasn’t called among them.

Mei Mu had a bad feeling.

On the podium, the teacher smiled and raised the last three test papers, saying, “Now, let’s announce the top three of our class! I’m sure you all have some guesses.”

“Chen Hao, third place.”

It wasn’t Mei Shu…

Mei Mu suddenly felt breathless.

“Wen Miao, second place.”

Mei Mu looked in astonishment at Mei Shu, who remained calm.

It happened that Mei Shu’s gaze was also directed at her.

The two locked eyes, and Mei Mu’s mind was in chaos.

“Now, as for first place in our class, I really didn’t expect it!” The teacher grinned and pointed to the center of the classroom.. “Let’s congratulate Mei Shu, our class’s top student!”
