Chapter 24 — Results
Let the sunshine in...
______________________________
The test results came out soon. After the class, the students crowded in the back of the classroom to see the results. Chu Feng didn't let Rong Xun squeeze with him, he went to help him see his grades. The classroom was noisy, it felt more lively than the vegetable market. Although it was not a real college entrance examination, it was also an examination at least. The results would always make them happy and sad. However, the results at this time would also let students know what aspects they should focus on the next time.
“How many points?” After Chu Feng came back, Rong Xun grabbed his clothes and asked.
“Your total score is 681, the third in class and the seventh in grade,” Chu Feng said. In fact, when he saw Rong Xun's achievements, Chu Feng felt very uncomfortable. Not because Rong Xun didn't do well in the exam, but because he thought that Rong Xun's good grades in his previous life were destroyed by him. He not only didn't finish his studies but also suffered from depression all his life. He felt very depressed.
“What about you?” Rong Xun didn't seem to care about his grades at all.
“544, 19th in the class, 200th in grade,” Chu Feng said.
“A lot of progress!” Rong Xun smiled happily. Before, Chu Feng's grades had to be counted backward in the class.
“En.” The result was indeed beyond his expectation, but he was still not happy.
Rong Xun also found that he was not in high spirits and asked, “What's the matter? Are you unhappy? Don't be pressured. There's still a long time before the college entrance examination.”
“I'm not unhappy. I just feel…” Chu Feng couldn't speak about his mood at all. He could only say “your grades are so good that I suddenly feel unworthy of you.”
“What…” Rong Xun didn't expect Chu Feng to think about this.
“Really, you're so kind.” Chu Feng really felt that no matter how hard he tried, he didn't deserve such a good Rong Xun.
Rong Xun suddenly said, “then I don't want to be separated from you…”
Chu Feng was stunned. His depressed mood seemed to be torn open by Rong Xun's words, and let the sunshine in, and he then said with a smile, “I won't be separated from you.”
Rong Xun said with some complaints, “then don't say such words. It seems like you don't want to be with me…”
Chu Feng hurriedly said, “I won't say it in the future, not even think about it.” Rong Xun was careful. He really shouldn't say such words to bother Rong Xun. Rather than saying this, he should think more about how to be worthy of Rong Xun.
“En.” Rong Xun nodded.
Chu Feng secretly shook his hand under the table and said, “You did very well in the exam and I made great progress. How about going out to celebrate at the weekend?”
“Good.” Rong Xun thought it was really worth celebrating. Although Chu Feng's score was far from good, it was much better than before.
“Then you decide the place.” Chu Feng smiled.
“En.” Rong Xun was happy when he saw that he was in a good mood.
At noon, Dong Fang sent everyone's report card and didn't ask his parents to sign it. But just told the students to put it away and compare it in the next exam.
Rong Xun took Chu Feng's report card and looked at it. He did very well on the English test. He really didn't know that Chu Feng's English was so good. However, considering Chu Feng's family background, maybe his family specially asked Chu Feng to learn in this regard, so he didn't think much. His Chinese was also okay, normal, there was also Arts Comprehensive, but there was still a lot of room for progress. The worst part was math, this score was really a drag. Although the science of liberal arts was almost understandable, but only scoring 88 points was too bad.
“English and Chinese are okay, and Mathematics and Literature need to be worked on,” Rong Xun said.
“En, I see.” Chu Feng liked Rong Xun's serious analysis. Like a little teacher, he couldn't bear to not listen or disappoint him.
After issuing the performance report, Dong Fang went to Chu Feng's desk and said to Chu Feng, “You did well in the exam this time and made great progress. Continue to work hard.”
“En, I will.” Chu Feng smiled and nodded.
Dong Fang smiled and didn't say much. She turned and went to Gui Heng. Although Gui Heng did not do well in the exam this time, he had made progress over his previous grades. As long as students make progress, they should be praised. If they praised more, students would be more motivated.
After school, the four people went to the canteen for dinner.
Si Xian's performance this time was also very stable. He got 675 in the exam, the fourth in his class, and the ninth in grade. Like Rong Xun, he was a student the teachers didn't have to worry about.
Seeing that Gui Heng was somewhat dejected, Chu Feng took a few steps slowly and asked Rong Xun to go with Si Xian. He came to Gui Heng and asked, “Have you been hit?”
“A little." Gui Heng grabbed his hair and said, “Brother Feng, you did really well in the exam this time.”
“I started earlier and studied harder than you, and I also got the light of English, but I didn't have much left after learning math. You are a student with strong points, and the pressure in culture class can be less. You don't have to be too nervous. It's always difficult at the beginning. You tried hard to catch up with the exam at the beginning, and you were hit faster. At least I studied calmly for a month.” Chu Feng comforted him.
“Also. Today the teacher praised me.” Gui Heng laughed mischievously.
“En, it's always good to go out less and learn more,” Chu Feng said.
“I know. I haven't played with those people recently.” Chu Feng didn't play with Yu Zhiming, and he lost his interest in hanging out with those people. He was really honest.
“En. Do your own homework in the future. If you can't, ask the teacher or Si Xian and Rong Xun, and the progress will be much faster.” Chu Feng said.
“Okay.” Gui Heng nodded.
Chu Feng patted him on the shoulder as encouragement. It was not too late to see Gui Heng's results until the next exam.
When he was about to get to the canteen, a girl suddenly ran out, stopped Chu Feng's way, handed him a pink envelope, and said, “Chu Feng, I like you very much.”
To be honest, this way of confession was very bold. Usually, girls would send love letters quietly through others, or secretly put them on the desks of the people they like. There were not many public confessions like this. After all, girls still wanted to have a face.
Someone stood in the way and whistled. Si Xian and Rong Xun who were walking in front also stopped. Si Xian was obviously watching the excitement. Rong Xun looked at Chu Feng and the girl, he bowed his head and didn't speak.
From the day after Chu Feng's advertisement was broadcasted, Rong Xun thought that such a thing might happen. Chu Feng stayed with him and didn't talk to any girl, but it seemed that he was a little worried. It turned out that he wasn't thinking too much, it was just that there were not many bold girls like this.
Rong Xun knew this girl and was also a school flower. Her name is Qi Huina, she was beautiful and good at studying. He heard that this girl wanted to enter the film academy and develop in the entertainment industry.
Gui Heng also knew Qi Huina. She was a good friend and a deskmate with his girlfriend in high school. They had dinner together, but then he separated from his girlfriend and had no contact with Qi Huina.
Chu Feng glanced at Qi Huina and said, “Sorry, I already have someone I like.”
“Liar!” Qi Huina immediately retorted, “I've asked. You don't have a girlfriend at all.”
Chu Feng raised his eyebrows. “I have a person I like and I know it myself. Why should I tell others? Just because others don't know doesn't mean I don't.”
“Chu Feng, I really like you very much. I have liked you since a long time ago. I don't mind if you have a girlfriend. I can wait for you!” Qi Huina said seriously.
“No, I'm not interested in you. Goodbye.” Chu Feng raised his legs and walked forward. When he came to Rong Xun, he smiled and said, “Let’s go quickly. There will be no squid ring you like when it's late.”
“Oh.” Rong Xun hurriedly followed him. Chu Feng was estranged from Qi Huina, and he was very happy.
Seeing that Chu Feng had gone, Si Xian also followed.
Gui Heng was also ready to leave. He didn't know if Chu Feng really liked someone, but he could see it. Chu Feng was really not interested in Qi Huina, and he wouldn't say much.
However, as soon as he went out, Qi Huina grabbed him, stuffed the letter into him, and said, “Gui Heng, help me give this to Chu Feng. He may change his mind after reading it.”
“Didn't Chu Feng make it clear?” Gui Heng didn't dare to get involved with the matters of Chu Feng, but Chu Feng could get involved with his matters.
“For Xiaomeng’s face, help me once?” Qi Huina said, looking very pitiful.
The Xiao Meng she said was Gui Heng's ex-girlfriend, Dou Meng.
When it came to Dou Meng, Gui Heng really didn't feel much anymore. In his freshman year of high school, he fell in love with Dou Meng, at first sight, fought for her, bought her something expensive and popular at that time, copied her homework, and went out to buy her food in the middle of the night... Later, Dou Meng's parents knew that she was in love early, found the school and the teacher, and even asked the teacher to call his parents. It turned out that Dou Meng after her parents found her puppy love, said that Gui Heng forced her. She didn't like Gui Heng at all. Gui Heng said that if she didn't communicate with him, he would let all her classmates isolate her, make her unable to make friends, and bully her, so she could only listen to Gui Heng and stay with Gui Heng.
Gui Heng could not refute it at that time. After all, once he entered the school, he was the representative of bad students. In addition, at that time, Dou Meng cried in tears, just like being bullied. Gui Heng said that others would not believe anything and could only be silent. In fact, at that moment, he was also hurt, but others didn't know.
His father beat him in front of Dou Meng's parents, and since then, he had been fooling around. Among all the people, the only one who believed in him was Chu Feng, but Chu Feng was not at school and couldn't help him. When Chu Feng came back to explain to his parents, the matter was already over.
A girl said that to protect herself, Gui Heng couldn't say anything about her, but who could he talk to with his broken heart?
“Gui Heng, let’s go.” Si Xian, who walked out of a distance, saw that he didn't follow up, stopped, and called him.
Gui Heng returned to his senses, said “coming”, stuffed the letter back to Qi Huina, ran two steps, and followed up.
Qi Huina looked at the four people walking away, her eyes full of anger, as if she felt humiliated, and her expression was a little distorted. At this time, Dou Meng came out from behind the tree on one side. As soon as she wanted to talk to her, Qi Huina gave her a cold humph and then walked towards the bedroom. Dou Meng hesitated for a moment and still caught up.
After dinner, Chu Feng took Rong Xun for a walk at school.
“You don't have to care about that girl. You know my thoughts.” Chu Feng said. Si Xian and Gui Heng were there earlier, it was inconvenient for him to explain more to Rong Xun.
“En...in fact, there should be many girls who like you, but she is the only one who has the courage to confess in public…” Rong Xun felt that at least her courage was commendable.
“Fortunately, there are not many people, otherwise the teacher will have to talk to me again.” Chu Feng smiled.
Rong Xun thought of what Chu Feng said when he came back after the headteacher talked to him last time, and laughed.
“Brother, Senior Rong Xun.” Chu Rou saw them, ran over, handed Rong Xun a small box in her hand, and said, “I thought of calling my brother downstairs in your dormitory to get down. I didn’t expect to meet you. I just bought the cake, let's have a taste of it.”
“You don’t have to do this.” Rong Xun said. Logically, as a senior, he should have bought Chu Rou instead.
“What's the difference? Senior has been tutoring my brother, and it's also very hard for you. I saw your report card this time. My brother has made so much progress. It's all the credit of the senior. I should invite the senior to eat a cake to express my gratitude.” Chu Rou smiled.
Rong Xun took the cake and smiled shyly, “Don't say that. Your brother worked hard.”
“He was also urged by the senior. When I have time, I'll invite the senior students to dinner.” Chu Rou smiled sweetly, a layer of pink appeared on her face, and her eyes looking at Rong Xun were brimming with expression.
Chu Feng looked at Chu Rou like this and couldn't help worrying— maybe he shouldn't think about waiting for Chu Rou to grow up before talking to her about Rong Xun. It might be best to dispel her ideas earlier.
