There is actually another reason why Lin Anran took care of Xia Kun so much during this monthly exam.

Of course... declaring war on Huang Liumao is one aspect, but what Lin Anran cares more is that Xia Kun has spent a lot of energy on himself during this period. Whether it is watching movies together, tutoring after class, or extracurricular tutoring when going home in the evening;

Although it seems to be something that many boys cannot afford, Lin Anran knows that Xia Kun is definitely not the kind of boy who will plot against him.

If it is the first and second year of high school, it would be different. Now that we are in the third year of high school, it is better for everyone to be more realistic. The couples in the graduation season will all fly to their own lives in the end, even if they are in a long-distance relationship... It is not reliable to have a long-distance relationship.

He really treated himself as a good friend to help him.

So, if Xia Kun's grades decline due to herself, she will feel very guilty.

What's even more helpless is that Lin Anran now has nothing to compensate him.

So... I can only pray silently that Xia Kun can perform at his due level!

Lin Anran’s biggest problem is that he likes to worry about this and that for others before important exams or tasks come, so he always looks confused when taking the exam.

However, this time she did a good job of questions under the guidance of Xia Kun. She felt that her self-exercise in the comprehensive science exam was pretty good. Although she had not reviewed English and Chinese for a while, it did not affect the results. Especially this time, the English questions were very simple, and the score effect should be very obvious.

Lin Anran, who was full of confidence, packed up his exam equipment and happened to see Xia Kun passing by the window.

He lowered his head and was thinking about the question again?

Lin Anran instinctively wanted to get close to Xia Kun to share his exam experience, but suddenly realized that he seemed to have passed a little, so he stayed there for a while until Xia Kun returned to his seat and sat down.

"How is the place of performance? Xia University Master?"

"Average," said Xia Kun, "I made several low-level mistakes, which may affect the final results."

"Ah... it's okay, there are always times when you miss it, right? And the score hasn't come out yet, so don't be too sad."

Xia Kun shook his head, "I'll go to have dinner first."

...

Looking at Xia Kun's slightly lonely back, Lin Anran couldn't help but feel tight.

The next day, Lin Anran did not stay in bed, and almost 5 minutes after Xia Kun left home, he finished washing and went to school.

She knew that the monthly exam results list would be posted this morning. On the one hand, she cared about her results, and on the other hand, she was also worried about Xia Kun's grades.

As soon as she arrived in the classroom today, she saw her classmates gathered on the podium to see their grades.

She tried hard to stretch her neck to look at the transcript behind her. Some boys took the initiative to give in when they saw her and enthusiastically pushed the crowd away. However, another boy spoke directly before Lin Anran saw the results, "Lin Anran, you have made great progress this time, and you have reached 23rd place."

"Hehe, that's it..."

An Ran smiled at the boy politely, then leaned over to see it himself, and found his name in the fifth sequence—

Fortunately, both English and Chinese are relatively high, and the math scores are much lower than the estimation scores, but the comprehensive science performance is particularly good, which is all Xia Kun's credit.

But, how could Xia Kun’s grades be here?

Lin Anran discovered that Xia Kun had changed back to 19th place, which was his previous ranking, but he could study in his dreams now. It shouldn't have been so bad. Look at his mathematics and science...

Mathematics is 137 points in the first and second grades of the class, and 259 points in the comprehensive sciences. This score is also quite outstanding. Although Chinese is average, it is not bad. There are not too many points, but English is—

How come English is only 88 points?

It is true that Xia Kun said he made a low-level mistake, but the difference in points was too incredible.

Lin Anran has no intention of celebrating her grades now, even if it is the highest ranking time in three years of high school.

She returned to her seat without saying a word, Xia Kun sat outside and took the initiative to give up Lin Anran.

...

Xia Kun kept looking down at the English test paper. The students in the class were discussing the scores this time. Only he seemed to be isolated from the world, which made Lin Anran feel very distressed.

She didn't know how to comfort Xia Kun.

Logically speaking, the English question is not difficult this time. Even Xia Kun could pass the exam before. How could he perform like this inappropriately?

It just so happens that early reading is also English early reading. The subject teacher will soon come to supervise everyone's early reading situation. With Huang Liumao's narrow mind, he will definitely humiliate Xia Kun in public - after all, this incident has its lessons:

At that time, a classmate with poor English grades teased Huang Liumao after class, and he heard it outside the window. Later, Huang Liumao punished him to death. Every day, he would hold a book to read the text in the corner of the classroom with a book. He did not let him eat breakfast until he finished memorizing the book, which lasted for about a month.

Although Huang Liumao is now in his third year of high school, he should not dare to do such a thing that would be scolded, but Xia Kun must have been sarcastic.

Lin Anran has always been worried about Xia Kun's affairs and has no intention of reviewing it at all. But Huang Liumao came very early today. He was holding a stack of English test papers on his left flank, which should be the answer sheet for the non-choice part. When Lin Anran looked up, she saw Huang Liumao's mung bean eyes staring at the direction of his side. The purpose was self-evident.

"Hey, Xia Kun..."

Lin Anran pulled Xia Kun's arm, and then Xia Kun came to his senses from his meditation.

"What's up?"

"Liumao is here..."

Xia Kun looked up at the podium. At this time, Huang Liumao had called the English class representative and asked him to send a few people to distribute the test papers-

"Why do you need to send papers during morning reading? It affects my memory of words."

Xia Kun felt that it was more interesting to memorize words in the real world. After all, the plan for a day lies in the morning.

???

"Why do you still have time to worry about that? Huang Liumao must settle the score with you... If you don't think about it, how should you explain it?"

After hearing Lin Anran's words, Xia Kun looked like a monk was confused and his face was covered with black question marks, "I study for myself, why should I be responsible for him?"

"But you speak English--"

Pa, pa, pa.

Huang Liumao slapped and signaled the students who were in the morning reading to stop.

"Stop... This morning, I want to tell you a few things. Everyone is getting the test paper and listening to me." Huang Liumao was wearing a brand new blue and black striped suit today, with his tie very neatly, and he was slowly shaking his pace in the corridor with his hands behind his back, graceful and elegant.

"This time, our class's English scored first in the ordinary class in the school, and 13 people with scores above 130 points - among them, our monitor (class monitor) Ji Xiaoxuan got the highest score in the school's 146 points."

Hearing this sensational and terrible score, everyone cast admirational gazes at Ji Xiaoxuan who was helping to hand over the test papers together, and spontaneously applauded.

At this time, Ji Xiaoxuan was holding Xia Kun's test paper in her hand. She stood there and looked at Xia Kun's non-multiple-choice question paper for a while before handing it to Xia Kun's hands.

"Yes, Ji Xiaoxuan's single-choice question only got one wrong, and the other 3 points were deducted for composition," Huang Liumao continued, "Although we know that Ji Xiaoxuan's subjects have always been top-notch, she also proved to us that Nothing is impossible if you  study  hard (as long as you study hard, nothing is impossible), in comparison-"

Huang Liumao rubbed the pen tip of the white chalk in his hand, clasped his hands, and supported Xia Kun's table with one hand.

"Some students in our class improved their grades by copying others' answers, and then they began to be complacent. As long as the invigilator is a little stricter, they will immediately betray themselves. Do you think... what I said is right, Xia Kun?"

Xia Kun nodded at Huang Liumao, his expression was very calm, and he seemed to have no idea that Huang Liumao's target was himself.

He talked so much today, and his saliva splashed on his face.

Xia Kun wiped his face.

...

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a sense of embarrassment, and Lin Anran, who had been worried about Xia Kun for a long time, didn't know what to do.

This idiot...don't you know I'm mocking him?

Oh! I  understand!

Huang Liumao thought for a long time and suddenly realized that with Xia Kun's true English proficiency, it was completely impossible to understand the meaning of the phrase he used just now.

"Sir Xia Kun, Please, can you explain what [betray  oneself] means?"

Xia Kun stood up and replied calmly, "Let someone show their true colors reveal themselves."

"Don't you know this?" Huang Liumao's angered.

"Well, but I didn't say I didn't know?" Xia Kun continued to be confused.

The students burst into laughter. Those who had seen Xia Kun's scores could actually guess Huang Liumao's intention, but this laughter annoyed Huang Liumao.

"What are you laughing at? Is it funny? Shut  up!"

Huang Liumao was so angry that he shouted at the whole class, and the people in the class immediately calmed down.

Then Huang Liumao looked at Xia Kun angrily again.

"You know...you know what's the matter! You know what the word means, and you still get a little score in English?"

After being scolded by Huang Liumao for no reason, Xia Kun was finally stunned for a moment.

Seeing that he finally changed his face, Huang Liumao vented his long-established resentment towards Xia Kun, "I was originally just stupid and could not turn around. I am still working hard, but your recent attitude has made Teacher Huang very dissatisfied. You dare to sleep publicly in my class. Do you respect me as a teacher? Don't you know what the student's duty is? Ah? Tell me, what the student's duty is?"

"Study." Xia Kun replied.

...

Huang Liumao scolded Xia Kun with a series of replies, hoping that Xia Kun could recognize his mistake and bow his head to admit his mistake. However, this guy still has the face to really answer, and he has no sense of shame at all. He has caused him, he has caused him, and he has no idea how to answer the conversation.

In fact, Xia Kun's performance in the class today is particularly eye-catching because he is rarely scolded by the teacher. This is the first time that many classmates have seen his calm and gentle performance.

Some people were scolded by Liumao so much that they lowered their heads and cried, and swore to Liumao that they would become a new person; some people were incompatible with Liumao, and they were stubborn, pulled their collars, and had physical conflicts; but they pretended to be stupid and said wise words, leaving Liumao speechless, and this was the first one.

"Then, have you realized your mistake?" Huang Liumao was so blushed by Xia Kun's face and he asked for a long time.

Xia Kun nodded and said aggrievedly, "I thought Teacher Huang, you didn't pay attention to me, but I didn't expect you to have such high expectations for me."
