Chapter 56: What Did Xiaoxiao Score on Advanced Mathematics?
Having overcome the major hurdle of Advanced Mathematics, Ye Chuxiao found the subsequent subjects easy. She even wished for time to pass quickly, eager to know her score in Advanced Mathematics.
Secretly believing she scored above eighty points, Ye Chuxiao felt both excited and impatient. This might be the most glorious moment in her arduous journey of studying mathematics!
After the Advanced Mathematics report cards were released, the Study Committee Member He Zhiyin personally came to Ye Chuxiao’s dormitory.
It was during the lunch break. After eating lunch, most students were in their dormitories preparing to rest.
Bai Qianqian, sitting by the door, saw He Zhiyin and quickly asked, “Study Committee Member, the Advanced Mathematics scores for other classes are out. Are ours out too?”
“What score did Xiaoxiao get?” Xu Luoxi, already on the bunk bed, poked her head out to ask. More than her own score, she was concerned about how Ye Chuxiao had performed.
An Xiazhi, who was playing a game on her computer, paused. She was also very curious, “Did Xiaoxiao make a comeback? From last place last semester to first place?”
Ye Chuxiao was sitting at her desk drinking water, her two small hands cupping the water glass, frozen in place. She looked at the Study Committee Member. She felt she had done well, but the Study Committee Member’s expression seemed very solemn at the moment, so she dared not ask. Holding her breath, she had a feeling of awaiting a verdict.
“Sigh!” The Study Committee Member sighed heavily, looking at Ye Chuxiao with a helpless gaze. “Xiaoxiao, why didn’t you score just one more point? I’ve already prepared the banner for Senior Student Ziyi, why didn’t you score just one more point?”
What… did this mean? Bai Qianqian, Xu Luoxi, and An Xiazhi stared blankly at the Study Committee Member, perhaps unwilling to accept this reality. Xiaoxiao had been very happy these past few days. When she finished Advanced Mathematics, she said she could do basically all of it. How could she… fail?
Fifty-nine points! A huge joke! Ye Chuxiao’s face turned deathly pale. She had thought she could score excellently, but she didn’t even pass!
“Study Committee Member, this kind of joke isn’t funny at all!” Bai Qianqian immediately took the report card from He Zhiyin’s hand. Looking at the student ID to locate Ye Chuxiao’s name, she carefully checked the name and the score. But that score was stated there, direct and cruel; it was indeed fifty-nine points!
Xu Luoxi and An Xiazhi also went to see the score. Several girls from surrounding dormitories, seeing He Zhiyin return with the Advanced Mathematics report cards, also eagerly gathered around.
The dormitory entrance was crowded with many people. Everyone wanted to see their own scores, and then, they were also very interested in knowing how Ye Chuxiao had scored.
Fifty-nine! Actually, among classmates, no one was malicious, but such a comically low score still made a few girls unable to help but chuckle.
The classmates looked at Ye Chuxiao, who was slumped over her desk, lifeless, with a bit of sympathy. After taking the Advanced Mathematics exam, she had immediately called Senior Student Ziyi to say she had done quite well.
However, for Ye Chuxiao, fifty-nine points was considered quite good. Alas, it was just a pity that one more point would have meant she passed.
The dormitory was noisy with chatter until past two o’clock before everyone dispersed.
He Zhiyin comforted Ye Chuxiao, “Xiaoxiao, don’t be too sad. You did very well in your other subjects, and your overall grades can still be among the top ten in our class. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Although the final result is regrettable, I know you’ve already put in a lot of effort. Prepare well for the make-up exam. I believe that after reviewing for another summer vacation, you’ll be able to pass.”
