[Senior Year Class Teacher Group]
Class Teacher of Class Six: "The college entrance exam scores are out. Is the Class One teacher secretly celebrating somewhere again?"
Class Teacher of Class Three: "How could they not be happy? Six of the top ten in the grade are from her class. Our school's college entrance exam results are really hinging on Class One."
Class Teacher of Class Five: "Hey, that's not fair. Class Two, Class Nine, and our class also have many top students. Maybe this time there are some dark horses that outperformed those in Class One!"
"..."
Sun Qing, the Class Seven teacher, occasionally bubbles up in the group, but doesn't say much.
She had nothing to contribute to this topic.
Although Class Seven's overall performance wasn't the worst in the grade, there weren't any particularly outstanding top students.
"So envious."
Sun Qing pursed her lips, hoping that after sending off this year's senior students, there would be many top students in the next batch she teaches, making her more confident when discussing such topics in the group.
Just then.
Suddenly!
A message in the group caught all the class teachers' attention.
Director Zhang: "@Class Seven Teacher, I was just thinking of calling you, but seeing you here chatting in the group, Xiao Sun, quickly contact your student Lin Beichen from your class to confirm their college entrance exam score."
Lin Beichen?
Who is Lin Beichen??
This was the instinctive reaction of all the class teachers.
Given the current situation, they all understood that this student, Lin Beichen, must have scored remarkably well in the college entrance exam, prompting the grade director to personally mention it in a group where he rarely speaks.
But...
They had no memory of this student!
However, Sun Qing thought differently; Lin Beichen was a student in her class. She knew about Lin Beichen's capabilities, although he had studied very hard in the last month and perhaps made some progress, it didn't warrant the grade director to specifically ask for confirmation.
Could it be trouble?
Sun Qing first thought of something bad and quickly replied in the group: "Director, what's wrong? Did Lin Beichen cause some problem?"
Director Zhang replied instantly: "He should be the provincial science top scorer, and got full marks in all subjects!!"
Following his reply, the originally lively and bustling group fell into a brief silence, with no messages being sent.
Class Teachers: ???
All were dumbfounded!
Just like the school leaders when they first received the call from the provincial education department, the thoughts in their heads were nearly identical.
Of course, the most surprised was Sun Qing.
Unlike the school leaders and other class teachers, as Lin Beichen's class teacher who had taught him for three years, she wouldn't say she knew him inside out but was quite familiar with his abilities.
He became the provincial science top scorer?
And with full marks in all subjects?
Is this a dream?
A bit dazed, Sun Qing pinched herself hard, and the pain made her realize she was still in reality.
Sun Qing: "Director Zhang, could you be mistaken? Lin Beichen may have worked very hard this past month, but... a full marks in college entrance exam... this is too unbelievable!"
Director Zhang: "The call came directly from the provincial education department and was confirmed repeatedly. If our school's senior grade doesn't have a second student named Lin Beichen, then it must be correct!"
The other class teachers also began to react.
"A call directly from the provincial education department? This is solid news!"
"If I remember correctly, Class Seven doesn't have any top students. There was one who ranked within the top thirty in the pre-third simulation, but he isn't Lin Beichen!"
"This is truly a dark horse!"
"Full marks in all subjects? The first in the history of the college entrance exam, right?!"
"My heavens, I just checked the score ranking. Lin Beichen's rank was 592! What kind of dark horse is this!"
"Sun Teacher, did you use some Spirit Pill @Class Seven Teacher?"
"Yes, Lin Beichen's scores soared like a rocket, no, like a space shuttle?"
"We were just talking about whose class would have great college entrance exam results. Now it doesn't matter whose class they are in. With this full mark college entrance exam top scorer from Class Seven appearing, it's all settled!"
"..."
Seeing their messages flooding the screen, Director Zhang quoted the messages and urged: "@Class Seven Teacher, Xiao Sun, forget everything else and quickly confirm it!"
"Oh, yes, on it!"
After responding to Director Zhang, Sun Qing still felt dizzy, but after a few seconds, an excited smile appeared on her dazed face.
She understood!
If Lin Beichen indeed is the top scorer with full marks...
She's going to climb to great heights!
...
Sun Qing couldn't believe that a moment ago she was envying others with top students, but the next second she discovered the most outstanding student had been hidden in her class all along!
Now it's others' turn to envy her!
"Haha!"
She couldn't help but laugh out loud, but quickly remembered Director Zhang's instruction, took out her phone, and dialed Zheng Xia's number.
"Ring... Ring..."
The phone rang twice before being answered.
Sun Qing greeted first, "Hello, Beichen's mom."
"Hello, Teacher Sun."
On the other end, Zheng Xia sat on the couch in the living room, staring confusingly at Lin Xiangdong beside her, not understanding why her son's class teacher was calling at this time.
However, Sun Qing's next words dispelled her curiosity.
"The college entrance exam scores have been released. I wanted to ask if Lin Beichen has checked his results?"
"Um..."
Zheng Xia and Lin Xiangdong exchanged a smile that was forced, full of bitterness and awkwardness.
They had been sitting here since early morning, waiting for their son to check his scores and come out to tell them immediately.
But...
They had been waiting all day.
Not a sound from the room!
They didn't dare knock on the door and ask, afraid of stressing Lin Beichen further.
Pity the hearts of parents!
Zheng Xia apologized: "Sorry, Teacher Sun, we don't know if Lin Beichen has checked his scores. He is still in his room, and we haven't asked."
Listening to Zheng Xia, Sun Qing gave her a thumbs-up in her heart. Such composure and patience from the parents, letting everything happen naturally. No wonder they could nurture a student as excellent as Lin Beichen!
She began to admire the family.
Thinking everything beautifully.
Sun Qing couldn't help praising: "No wonder Lin Beichen could become the first full mark top scorer in college entrance exam history. It's inseparable from your education!"
Then she realized she might have leaked the surprise and decided to reveal everything: "Our school received a notice from the provincial education department about Lin Beichen's scores. He has achieved full marks in all subjects and is the provincial science top scorer. I called to confirm the scores with Lin Beichen."
Zheng Xia: ???
Lin Xiangdong: ???
Oh no!
It felt like their hearts skipped a beat!
