"Here." Lu Yanhe returned the notebook to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu immediately took it in his hands, lowered his head, and his eyes were red.
Lin Yu stayed beside her and gently patted her back.
Only then did Lu Yanhe look at Luo Zicheng again.
"Hit you? Who hit you?" His gaze was like two rays of light as he glared at Luo Zicheng. At that moment, everyone around him felt that Lu Yanhe's aura had changed, becoming inexplicably awe-inspiring. "I patted you on the head to wake you up. How dare you, a man, bully a girl? Seeing Bai Yu unable to snatch her own notebook, you're feeling smug, right? If you're brave enough, go take Li Pengfei's notebook and let him snatch it away. Then you'll know what it means to hit you."
Luo Zicheng's face turned red with humiliation after hearing Lu Yanhe's words, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
"How dare you say that Teacher Liu would scold Bai Yu but not you? Do you think Teacher Liu is your mother, indiscriminate?" Lu Yanhe's mouth was like spewing sulfuric acid, and every word burned a hole in Luo Zicheng's heart. "Go and complain now, tell Teacher Liu that Bai Yu writes novels, and you took her notebook away for her own good, wanting her to study hard, and deliberately picked out some excerpts to read to everyone in front of everyone. You didn't do it to embarrass Bai Yu, you did it to make her learn from her mistakes and study hard. How dare you say such shameless things? How can I admire you even more? Do you dare?"
Luo Zicheng said angrily: "Enough, are you sick? What does this have to do with you? I have tolerated you for a long time!"
The expressions of the others changed when they looked at Luo Zicheng.
At the beginning, many onlookers did not know the cause and effect, nor did they realize how excessive Luo Zicheng's behavior was. After hearing what Lu Yanhe said, they all reacted.
This matter is not as simple as a fight between classmates.
"Luo Zicheng, apologize to Bai Yu." Someone said, "I thought you were just joking, but I didn't expect you to deliberately humiliate her."
"That's right, you are so tasteless." Someone immediately followed up.
Luo Zicheng looked at these people in disbelief, and for a moment he seemed to be about to faint from anger.
Weren’t you the ones who laughed the happiest before?
Now he is the only one who is shameless? !
Li Pengfei crossed his arms over his chest and said in a threatening tone, "Did you hear that? The people have sharp eyes. They're calling for you to apologize. Apologize now!"
Luo Zicheng's face was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out.
He turned back to his seat angrily.
Li Pengfei immediately said "Pooh!" and "Shameless bastard."
At this time, Chen Qin, who had just returned from the toilet, came in through the front door. Upon hearing Li Pengfei's words, he looked bewildered and asked, "Who are you scolding again?"
Li Pengfei: "Is there anyone else in our class who can bear these four words?"
Chen Qin was completely confused and had no idea what Li Pengfei was talking about.
-
"Have you noticed that Lu Yanhe has changed a lot recently?" Li Xiang whispered to Xu Zijun, "He never spoke up in class before, let alone stood up for others. I felt like he was always the one being bullied."
Li Xiang is one of the few people in Xu Zijun's class who is relatively close to her. They both come from rural towns, so there is not much burden in getting along with them.
Xu Zijun nodded and said, "It has changed a lot."
"He is so handsome now. Although he was good-looking before, I felt that he had no charm at all. He was timid and didn't have any manliness at all. Now he looks so handsome with every move and smile." Li Xiang said, her eyes shining and a shy smile of a girl on her face.
Xu Zijun asked: "Are you in love with him?"
"A little bit." Li Xiang said and then laughed embarrassedly, "Although I know he definitely won't like me."
"It's your third year of high school now, don't let these things distract you." Xu Zijun warned.
Li Xiang's grades were not as good as Xu Zijun's. She was ranked around 100th in the grade, which was on the edge of getting into a top-tier university.
Li Xiang's face fell and she said, "You're so annoying! What a bummer!"
Xu Zijun didn't say anything more.
After a while, Li Xiang suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, did Teacher Liu look for you?"
"No, what does she want from me?"
Li Xiang had a mysterious look on her face. She even turned around and looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before whispering in Xu Zijun's ear, "I heard that Teacher Liu asked Zheng Meiqi to discuss the recommendation and self-recruitment matters. Your grades are also very good, so Teacher Liu should be looking for you soon to talk to you about this."
Direct admission and self-recruitment recommendation quotas are means used by some top universities to compete for the best students in advance. The former mainly depends on academic performance and comprehensive quality, while the latter is generally aimed at students with outstanding academic performance in a certain major.
Xu Zijun usually stays in the top 20 in her grade. In her case, she can usually get a place in the self-recruitment recommendation.
There is no hope for Zhenhua and Yuming, but there is great hope for relatively inferior universities.
When Xu Zijun heard Li Xiang's words, his calm mood was shaken.
In the past, people said that direct admission and independent enrollment were privileges for children from wealthy and powerful families, and had nothing to do with students like her who came from a small place and had no background. But after she arrived at No. 13 Middle School, she heard from many seniors that their school's direct admission and independent enrollment quotas were completely ranked according to grade ranking, and as long as you had good grades, you would have a chance.
Sure enough, after school in the afternoon, Liu Qin came to the classroom to find her. Seeing that she was there, she called her to the office.
There was no one else in the office except a boy in school uniform, sitting in a corner with his back to them, copying something.
Liu Qin got straight to the point: "Zijun, I called you here to tell you about the recommended quota for independent enrollment. Generally, if you get the quota, you can skip the initial exam and go directly to the re-examination. The chances of getting a place in the independent enrollment are very high. Based on your scores in several key exams, you are ranked 22nd in your grade. The universities you can get recommended quotas from are Anhua University, Zhongli University, and Chuanhe University. There is no need to consider universities worse than these three. Do you want to participate in the independent enrollment?"
Xu Zijun nodded and said, "I do."
There is only one chance for the college entrance examination. No one knows how she will perform on that day, good or bad, it is all unknown.
Self-recruitment is like having a talisman. Even if you fail the college entrance examination, there is still a backup school.
Liu Qin said, "I have to explain to you that if you pass the independent enrollment of one of these three universities, they will ask you to sign an agreement with them. No matter how you perform on the Gaokao, as long as you pass the first-tier admission score, you must go to this university, even if you can eventually get into Yuming."
Xu Zijun was stunned, "Huh?"
This caught her off guard.
