Chapter 111: Excitement_1
Zou Qing felt awkward and said, "I should have reminded you."
"It’s okay," Li Qiao loosened her grip, readjusted her sitting position, and the two didn’t communicate further on the way. Approaching the school, Zou Qing stopped the car and handed her shoulder bag to Li Qiao, "It’s not far now, I won’t accompany you any further. Take it slow."
"Wait a minute, our midterm exams are on Friday. I was so focused on the notice that I forgot to ask the teacher for the papers," Li Qiao said, taking a step ahead.
Returning to the dormitory to put away her luggage, she saw Hu Xiufang studying with her head down and greeted her, "You’re here early."
"I didn’t go home this week," Hu Xiufang said, "Aren’t you not staying at school anymore?"
"My partner had something to do and couldn’t pick me up, so I have to stay at the dormitory," explained Li Qiao.
Hu Xiufang continued, "The midterm exam results are out. You scored two points less than the last monthly test. The teacher said you’ve regressed and it’s infuriating. Who wouldn’t want such ’regression’? I got 590, which is progress, but it’s still far behind that educated youth from your village called Han Ting. If I could get his score during the college entrance exams, many schools would be at my disposal."
Li Qiao encouraged, "Keep it up!" She put down her things and went outside to air her quilt and pillow, and then headed straight for the office.
Only the homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhou, was there.
She explained her purpose, and Mr. Zhou quickly found the papers for each subject, "You’ve been busy helping them every day. If you don’t help two students get into college, it wouldn’t be fair to your efforts."
Li Qiao revealed the situation of each person to Mr. Zhou.
