Chapter 33 It should be considered two pieces of bad news


Chapter 33 should be regarded as two pieces of bad news

Early on Friday morning, Li Yan entered the campus with excited steps.

Many students are already surrounding the teaching room on the first floor of Yucai Primary School.

Memories from before his rebirth invaded Li Yan's mind without warning.

This was a moment that impressed him deeply, so he remembered many details very vividly.

On the same sunny morning, I thought that the results of the competition should be announced in class, and I didn't pay attention to the female students standing next to the teaching room.

Until he found the female classmate looking at the notice board.

Oh, the face of that female classmate is also very vivid, with a high ponytail, a dewy face, and sparkling eyes, Li Xinyuan, the study committee member.

A piece of inconspicuous A4 white paper, with words that made Li Yan stop breathing:

List of winners of the "Celebrating New Year's Day" live composition competition.

At that time, Li Xinyuan and the aloof and talented Li Yan had not communicated much, and the two of them looked at the list nervously and silently.

There are thirty-three first prizes, and there are seven lines in total. Li Yan is afraid of missing something, so he looks down one by one...

No, no, can't see...< br>
After seeing the sixth line and still not seeing it, his heart sank to the bottom.

A finger suddenly appeared and pressed in the middle of the only three names on the seventh row: Yucai Primary School, Li Yan.

Fireworks exploded in his mind. Li Yan, who was considered calm and aloof in the eyes of all his classmates, jumped up with excitement and spun around three times, suppressing an ecstatic shout in his throat.

He still remembered that Li Xinyuan, who was frightened by him, had a happy smile on her face.

He was still thinking back then, you must be very proud of me, I brought glory to the class!

You can skip this section of Elm Head. Thank you.

Then he excitedly ditched Li Xinyuan and rushed straight to the class three steps at a time, smiling as he waited for the head teacher to announce the happy result.

He even asked Chen Wenjing for confirmation later and received a satisfactory reply that "the ranking on the list has nothing to do with performance."

All the details are so clear, which shows how much he paid attention to this exam back then.

Until the age of 24, Li Yan still missed that feeling of ecstasy, but in the days that followed... he never had it again.

It’s different now!

Li Xinyuan was not eligible to participate that year. There were not so many students surrounding the notice board that year. She was really just a child that year.

But the same cardiac arrest occurred because Li Yan saw Zhang Ming with a smile on his face after reading the notice board.

He even slowed down his pace and waited for the onlookers to move away a little before he quickly stepped forward.

Li Xinyuan stood beside her as before, with a complicated expression on her face.

It was still thirty-three people, and it was still a seven-line list. Li Yan frowned and scanned it. No, no, couldn't see it...

This time there was no suddenly stretched out finger, only The complicated expressions of the classmates around me.

What about the second prize? Neither.

It won’t be the third prize, right?

Yucai Primary School, Li... Xinyuan.

Li Yan was a little shocked. He looked at it again carefully. No, his name was not there.

The students may not know how to express their opinions, so they pushed and pushed them back to the classroom. He and Li Xinyuan were still the only ones in front of the notice board.

The study committee member hesitated to speak.

Li Yan has adjusted her mentality, "Congratulations, hard work will always pay off."

"Could it be that the list...is a typo?"

"Composition is a very subjective thing. It's normal whether you win an award or not." Li Yan laughed.

The two then walked back to the class in silence.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Li Yan felt a completely different gaze, comfort, pity, ridicule, hostility...

Fortunately, with a 24-year-old mind, he sat down calmly. This thing is nothing compared to an interview. Four consecutive rejections are much easier to accept.

Lin Zhiyuan’s tangled expression clearly revealed his thoughts. Li Yan had no choice but to approach the little fat man and say:

“It’s just a municipal competition, it doesn’t matter.” “Don’t,” How can you still play tricks on me at this time? It’s so hard to guard against me.”

Seeing the little fat man return to normal, he felt more relaxed.

The discussion in the class stopped abruptly the moment Chen Wenjing and Huang Qiuying walked into the classroom together.

Almost everyone knows what it means when the English teacher walks in during the first Chinese class.

The faces of Zhang Ming’s group have already fallen in advance.

Teacher Huang looked like her nose was exhaling hot breath. She really couldn’t hold it in any longer. If she hadn’t been in school, she would have even wanted to sound a salute:

"Dear classmates of Class 601, I want to announce a great news. Li Yan, a classmate from our class, won the provincial first prize in the National English Competition, ranking fifth in the province and first in Lin City. A student who got the first grade in the province!”

There was thunderous applause, mixed with all kinds of exclamations of “Wow”, “I’m going to go” and “Oh my god”.

No one could hear the following words from Teacher Huang: "Please give everyone a warm applause for Li Yan" and "He is the pride of our Yucai Primary School".

However, Li Yan's reaction was beyond Lin Zhiyuan's expectation. He just smiled slightly and kept a stiff expression.

"Hey, what the hell, you didn't win a prize in the municipal competition, but you won a first-class province. This good news beats the bad news, okay? Be happy."

"It should be considered two pieces of bad news."

"Master Yan, it seems that you also know that you have to speak softly. If you speak louder, you may be beaten."

Li Yan did not explain, but The stiff look on his face was genuine.

It goes without saying that he failed to win the essay competition. It was a completely unexpected defeat. He achieved his goal by placing first in the provincial level. However, the ranking of "fifth place in the province", which he should be very happy about, brought him a lot of trouble. Comes with the exact opposite emotion.

The so-called expectations before the exam are one thing - with the support of various inexplicable superstitious ideas, the exam is always linked to "character", so even Li Yan is not willing to say "No. 1 in the province" "One is my goal" is not a sure thing.

Commonly known as, bad character.

What does ranking fifth mean? In Linjiang Province alone, there are four primary school students whose English proficiency is above his.

He built a tall building on an already talented and excellent foundation by adding points through the rebirth cheating system.

The English score is 25 points and the progress bar is 50%. This is for all human beings who can speak English, even those foreigners whose native language is English!

And he is just a primary school student.

As a result, there were four primary school students above him, which was not without frustration.

The platform of Lin City is still too small.

What the hell, on such a small platform, I didn’t even win the essay contest?

That was a game we had won before rebirth.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. Li Yan could no longer hear Chen Wenjing’s various compliments behind him. His body responded mechanically, and his soul had already gone beyond the sky.

After class was over, Teacher Huang finished all the praises he needed and did not ask Li Yan to say anything more. It was the turn of the students in the class to become agitated.

But Chen Wenjing got off the podium first, checked the plagiarism rate and praised Li Yan again in person, and then got to the point:

"The composition competition is not the same as the English competition. Similarly, subjective standards are not easy to judge. Although I don’t know the reason, your writing has been very sophisticated since the sixth grade. Maybe... the judges don’t like your style in the elementary school competition.”

There is something in your words, Teacher Chen. After a class of psychological struggle, Li Yan became much more bearish and blocked Chen Wenjing’s hidden inappropriate words:

“The judges also have their own standards. They don’t guess. If they get it, they get it. If they don’t get it, they don’t get it. Rather than comforting me, the teacher should acknowledge the award-winning study committee members.”

Then he stopped Lin Zhiyuan, who was about to make a lewd face, with a fierce look in his eyes without warning.

Chen Wenjing left with a satisfied and appreciative expression, and Li Yan still benefited from it.

It's much better than the enthusiastic look in the English teacher's eyes on the podium just now...

The next person to come to his seat was, as expected, Zhang Ming.

But what he said was somewhat surprising:

"Congratulations on bringing glory to our class and Yucai School."

Then with his irrepressible smile and flirtatious tone, everything became as expected:

"It's just a pity that I missed an opportunity for an essay competition."
