At this mont, Zhao Xuan and Zhou Kai’s popularity ca into play; many people invited them out for dinner.
Seeing so many people asking them out, Zhao Xuan felt much better, "Zhang Yu, we’re heading out for dinner. Would you like to join us?"
Zhang Yu glanced around at the people surrounding them, all of whom were going to the science class, "I’ll pass. You guys go ahead. It’s perfect for you all as science students to discuss things together."
"I’m a hopeless science student, so I won’t go." Zhang Yu was also planning to go to the bookstore with Wu Minxia.
Zhao Xuan glanced at Zhang Yu, really wanting to ask how she did in her exams but worried that if her results weren’t good, she’d be embarrassed, so she remained silent.
Zhang Yu and Wu Minxia quickly packed up their things and left, not even saying goodbye.
A girl who didn’t like Zhang Yu was displeased, "Honestly, even if she goes to the arts class, aren’t we still classmates?"
"Exactly, she left without even saying goodbye."
"Forget it." Zhao Xuan originally wanted to say that if her exam results weren’t good, she’d feel bad, but thinking it might be a bit excessive, she stayed quiet.
"Really curious about Zhang Yu’s exam results this ti."
"Yeah, really curious." Many were curious about Zhang Yu’s exam results.
"Let’s go take a look." With many curious, soone suggested.
"Okay." Everyone grabbed their things and chatted as they headed downstairs.
They initially thought it would take a while to find out, but unexpectedly, they quickly saw her result, "48th in the arts class."
"If she maintains this score, she could enter the arts rocket class." After a long silence, soone spoke up.
Though they often criticized that the second high school’s arts weren’t as strong as its sciences, this didn’t apply to the arts rocket class, whose results were good enough to enter prestigious universities for undergraduate study.
"Zhang Yu’s arts scores are actually this good." They sowhat knew Zhang Yu’s arts scores were decent; otherwise, her horoom teacher and geography and history teachers wouldn’t have kept advising her to study arts.
What they didn’t expect was that Zhang Yu’s arts scores would be this good, truly shocking them.
For them, it was shocking, but for Zhao Xuan and Zhou Kai, "stunned" was a fitting term.
They knew Zhang Yu had previously been intent on studying sciences, and to improve her science scores, she hardly looked at arts books or morized much.
Apparently, after deciding to join the arts class, she chose to seriously study history and geography books and morize key points. Even with such limited ti, she could achieve such good scores. They dared not imagine, had Zhang Yu been given more ti, how well she could have done.
Zhao Xuan didn’t know whether she’d be able to stay in the second-fast class, but she believed Zhang Yu would surely enter the arts rocket class.
The thought of Zhang Yu possibly entering the rocket class sent Zhao Xuan into a downcast mood, like falling into the abyss.
Zhou Kai was also upset. Their neighborhood grew up with the impression that he and Zhao Xuan perford better academically than Zhang Yu.
He truly didn’t want to imagine that when the class placent results ca out in September, Zhang Yu would enter the rocket class while he and Zhao Xuan could only enter the second-fast class. How would the neighbors view them?
Would they think their previous so-called achievents were actually just a facade, and they weren’t as good as they seed?
It’s not that he couldn’t handle not being at the top; what he couldn’t stand was having worse scores than Zhang Yu.
How could their scores be inferior to Zhang Yu’s? They should have been suppressing her all along, yet Zhou Kai felt really bad.
Feeling down, Zhou Kai truthfully didn’t want to attend the gathering; with this ti, he would be better off going ho to practice problems and aim for a breakout in September.
Yet upon seeing Zhao Xuan’s cheerful expression, Zhou Kai had no choice but to do sothing against his feelings; so what, it’s just a al out.
Just treating it as a chance to relax; otherwise, the upcoming sumr break would be nothing but extra classes or problem solving at ho, piling up the pressure.
Oh, before heading back, they need to stop by the bookstore to buy so exercise books. He was even considering whether to go to the swimming pool; continuous studying isn’t good either due to the pressure.
Now, he had abandoned that idea. What they needed most now was pressure, to motivate them to improve themselves and strive to enter the rocket class.
Though Zhou Kai refrained from voicing anything unpleasant, his sour expression was telling enough.
Seeing his expression, everyone knew he was upset, so after the al they dispersed. Zhao Xuan watched their retreating backs and then looked at Zhou Kai’s long face, feeling helpless.
She truly didn’t understand; weren’t they already high school students? Why were they still so unheeding?
They had previously given Zhang Yu a sour look, and now, having chosen the arts class, separated from the extra classes, with such good scores, isn’t this exerting a lot of pressure on them?
She was considering maintaining a better relationship with classmates to ask where they were getting extra classes.
Previously, she hadn’t really paid much attention to these classmates; they took extra classes, but they weren’t in small group tutorial sessions, more like large group lessons, with average effectiveness.
But that didn’t matter; she just wanted to gauge their level, and if they were truly impressive, she might ask for private lessons.
Oh, and maybe include Zhou Kai, as he too seed under a lot of pressure. Otherwise, why else would she co out to eat with these people? It’s just a waste of ti.
Clearly, Zhou Kai understood this too, yet today he’s still pulling a long face, making Zhao Xuan angry, "Let’s go."
"Aren’t we going to the bookstore to buy exercise books?" Zhou Kai detected the displeasure in Zhao Xuan’s tone, thinking it was about Zhang Yu’s final exam scores angering her, feeling it inappropriate to criticize earlier, but now with just the two of them, of course, such comnts were fair ga.
Going to the bookstore for exercise books? She truly didn’t get it; clearly, she was nearly furious to death, and yet this culprit wants to act all casual and even bring up the bookstore.
"Let’s go." Although furious, after thinking it over, not finding a good tutor ant she had to keep pressing on with practice problems; more exercises were ultimately beneficial.
So they rode their bikes back to drop off their score reports, but once again, they ran into Zhang Yu carrying thick books, coming out of Zhang’s Restaurant.
Zhao Xuan guessed that during this sumr break, Zhang Yu would indeed work hard to try and join the rocket class; she didn’t expect that Zhang Yu could effortlessly integrate now.
Despite having already achieved such good grades, she still continued to buy so many exercise books. Zhao Xuan was genuinely amazed, wondering how diligent Zhang Yu truly was before.
