Chapter 190: Please, let’s have a meal
Song Yan Ning gave a light smile and walked to her seat to sit down. Yesterday, Tong Qi had called her, saying that Yu Xiaoyan had been marked with a serious demerit by the school for cheating and poor conduct. However, since it’s now nine years of compulsory education, there wasn’t a concept of repeating a grade, so once the summer break arrived and Yu Xiaoyan passed the makeup exam, she would still be able to advance to junior high. The only difference was that the demerit would stay on her record for life.
Song Yan Ning looked at the empty seat beside her and shook her head. She just couldn’t fathom where Yu Xiaoyan’s hostility towards her had come from.
Tong Qi entered the classroom holding a stack of diplomas, glanced at Song Yan Ning with a smile, and then turned to the other students, "Everyone did well this time, but especially Song Yan Ning, her grades rank first in the entire school. Let’s give Song Yan Ning a round of applause."
"Clap, clap, clap!" A wave of warm applause broke out in the class.
"Song Yan Ning, do you have anything you’d like to say to everyone?" Tong Qi looked at Song Yan Ning. After spending six years together, she truly didn’t want to see Song Yan Ning leave. Thankfully, Song Yan Ning was still going to attend high school in Yang City, so they would have a chance to meet again in the future.
Song Yan Ning shook her head, "Nothing." What could she say? How she approached studying, or how she attained good grades? Even if she shared her methods, they wouldn’t be of much use to others.
Tong Qi chuckled, "All right, then I’ll first announce everyone’s grades and then distribute the diplomas." She knew Song Yan Ning’s temperament; if she didn’t want to speak, Tong Qi naturally wouldn’t force her. However, Song Yan Ning was truly the smartest child she had ever seen.
After distributing diplomas to the students, Tong Qi walked over to Song Yan Ning, "Are you in a hurry to get home today?"
Song Yan Ning shook her head, "Is there something you need?"
"Nothing urgent, I just want to have a meal with you," Tong Qi smiled. She was very fond of Song Yan Ning, who was different from other children, intelligent and perceptive, with a special aura that unconsciously drew Tong Qi closer. Moreover, she had never regarded Song Yan Ning as just a child.
