The classroom was bustling with noise and excitement. The parents and students were all huddled together.
The rest of the students were standing while the parents were sitting. Only Huo Beichen and Ning Meng's table and chair had not been moved away, so both of them were sitting together.
Ning Meng would rather sit in front of them.
In the noisy environment, the teacher finally walked in, and the room instantly quietened down.
Ning Meng raised her head and looked at Teacher Liu.
Huo Beichen wanted to say something but Ning Meng quickly interrupted him. "Shut up and listen to the teacher."
Huo Beichen was confused.
Teacher Liu gave a summary of the exam results. "Overall, the exam was okay. Some students improved slowly, but it's a good thing that they improved. Some students regressed and need to find their own problems. There are also some students who improved very quickly. It's amazing!"
After saying that, Mr. Liu smiled and looked at Ning Meng.
Ning Meng was elated when she saw this. She turned to look at Huo Beichen. "Lord Chen, it seems that you're the one who improved very quickly. You …"
"Shh." Huo Beichen interrupted her and pointed at Teacher Liu. "Shut up and listen to the teacher."
"??"
Why did this sound so familiar?
Wasn't this what she had said to Lord Chen just now?
This guy actually came back!
She pursed her lips and looked at Teacher Liu.
Teacher Liu was very complicated. He talked endlessly and it seemed like he would need at least half an hour to get to the main topic. Ning Meng did not care about the pressure. She was only 21 years old. How could she care about Huo Beichen and Ning Ke's feelings?
After scratching her head for a while, she suddenly thought of something. She took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote on it: Lord Chen, how much do you think you can improve?
She passed it to Huo Beichen.
Huo Beichen was speechless.
He looked down at the contents of the note and smiled. Then he took the pen from her hand and wrote on the note: "I've improved. Is there a reward?"
"??"
Reward my ass!
Did he think he was a three-year-old?
Ning Meng pursed her lips and thought for a while. Then, she wrote: Yes, if you improve a lot, you can get whatever you want!
Huo Beichen replied: Really?
Ning Meng replied: Really.
After replying, she stared at the note in a daze.
Huo Beichen's handwriting was really beautiful. Every stroke was perfect, just like the work of a famous calligrapher.
It is said that the words reflect the person, and it seems that this saying is indeed true.
Even such words could add points to the exam paper.
Such a person would probably have an advantage in writing an essay.
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Teacher Liu say, "But aren't some of our students too lazy? He didn't even write a single word in an eight-hundred-word essay! Huo Beichen, I heard that you slept for an hour during the exam. What do you think? "
"???"
I was just thinking about composing, and now I'm talking about composing?
But he slept for an hour and didn't write his composition?
She turned her head abruptly and glared at Huo Beichen. She looked as if she wanted to eat him alive.
Huo Beichen put on an innocent expression and looked back at her.
Ning Meng gritted her teeth, wanting to swallow him whole.
Huo Beichen stretched out his slender fingers and pointed at their notes. Then, he mouthed, "Reward?"
He didn't even write an essay, yet he wanted a reward?
Why don't you go to heaven!
The corner of Ning Meng's mouth twitched, and she glared at Ning Meng again. She could no longer hold it in and said, "The essay is worth 60 marks! You don't even want 60 marks anymore! If you gave up, how are you going to take the exam? Can you get into the top 500? "
There were eight hundred students in the school. The last time Huo Beichen handed in a blank paper, he was the last in his cohort. There was no way he could get in now!
Huo Beichen continued, "Reward."
"…"
Ning Meng gritted her teeth and said, "If you can improve by a hundred places, I'll reward you with meat when we go home!"
Although this brat didn't take his exams seriously, he still had to give him the reward he deserved. Otherwise, what would happen if he developed an aversion to studying in the future?
Huo Beichen continued to ask calmly, "What about improving by 200 places?"
After hearing this, Ning Meng thought for a while. "If I can improve by 200 places, I'll use the money I earn to buy you a new set of clothes!"
Huo Beichen continued to ask, "What about improving by 300 places?"
"…"
How could it be possible to advance 300 places to the top 500!
Ning Meng's mouth twitched. "Just say it. What do you want?"
Huo Beichen did not say what he wanted. Instead, he continued to ask, "What about improving by 400 places?"
"…"
Ning Meng's mouth twitched. "How is that possible?"
Huo Beichen ignored her and continued to ask, "What about improving by 500 places?"
Ning Meng decided to ignore him.
But this person was still unwilling to give up. "What about advancing by 600 places? What about 700 places? What about 800 places? "
Ning Meng was furious. "There are a total of eight hundred students in the school. If you improve by 800 places, will you be able to get into the top nine in the cohort?"
The top nine in the cohort would basically be the first or second place in the class!
How was it possible that she did not write her essay!
Huo Beichen did not give up and asked, "What if? What if? "
Ning Meng rolled her eyes. "If you can improve by 800 places, I'll give you whatever you say!"
Huo Beichen raised his eyebrows. "Remember what you said."
"…" Ning Meng was speechless.
Why did she feel like she had fallen into a trap?
Just as she was thinking about it, Teacher Liu, who was upstairs, started to distribute the exam results.
Since he could not announce it to the public, he was afraid that the students would feel pressured. There were also those who did not do well and did not want others to know about their results. Therefore, Teacher Liu did not publicize the results.
He only said, "Take a look first. Actually, I know that the students are very stressed about the college entrance examination. Therefore, this parent-teacher conference will not increase the pressure on the children. I just want to have a good talk with your parents about how to reduce the pressure in the remaining six months …"
He blabbered on and on, making the people below drowsy.
Ning Meng stared at the study committee member who was handing out the results. When she was handing out the results one by one, she could see the results first. When she walked to the last row, she saw Huo Beichen's results. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
So, what was his ranking?
Ning Meng thought about it and took the report card. She took a look at the results written on it.
First in the class. Third in the cohort. Total score: 660.
"!!!"
Ning Meng was shocked when she saw the results.
While she was in a daze, her hand, which was placed on the table, was suddenly grabbed by a big hand. Then, she heard Huo Beichen's voice. "You will give me whatever I want? Do you mean what you say? "
