Chapter 14: The Unspoken Meaning
Even though some people don’t explicitly name who it is, everyone knows Mr. Gao is talking about Lin Tian.
Lin Tian originally didn’t care about what others said, whether or not he could get into Kanyue City Medical University, whether or not to go to college, that was up to him.
He doesn’t like his life being swayed by others; his life ought to be his own choice.
He especially dislikes this kind of ambiguous way of insulting people.
"So I hope everyone sees this matter as a lesson, keep it firmly in mind and never make such mistakes again!" Mr. Gao earnestly urged.
Although Mr. Gao intended it for the good of the class students, Lin Tian still couldn’t swallow the irritation in his heart.
"Mr. Gao, talk about the issue if you must, but why mention me!" Lin Tian suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Lin Tian, what are you doing, are you crazy!" Frightened, Wu Yong quickly grabbed his sleeve.
"Did I mention you?" Mr. Gao retorted.
"You didn’t say my name, but everyone knows who you meant!" Lin Tian glared fiercely, not out of disrespect, but because he felt he had done nothing wrong.
"Who are the certain people? Even I don’t know who they are!" Mr. Gao played dumb.
"Mr. Gao, I refuse to be a special admission candidate, that’s my personal wish, whether I can pass the Medical University is also my personal choice, my dreams can’t be manipulated by others!" Lin Tian said calmly.
"Well, ’my dreams can’t be manipulated by others!’ Mr. Gao snorted coldly. If Lin Tian ranked in the top three in the class, his words would make sense.
But for someone ranked last to say such things.
To say it so confidently isn’t it ridiculous?
"Lin Tian, I think you must face the fact. With your grades, it’s impossible to get into the Medical University!"
"The teacher isn’t trying to harm you or change your dreams, only thinks there’s no point to obsess over something impossible!" Mr. Gao sighed.
Most students are young, and young people often have the flaw of being headstrong and aiming too high.
Right now, Lin Tian is unable to recognize reality.
"Teacher, regardless of whether it’s possible or not, it’s too early to define it now!" Lin Tian suddenly remembered there was a week left until the last mock exam.
So he made a decisive suggestion, "In a week, we’ll talk about this issue, okay?"
"Ha!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Gao couldn’t help but sneer, "Are you planning to be the top of the class?"
"We haven’t taken the exam yet, how do you know I can’t do it?" Lin Tian shrugged helplessly, reminding, "Before the mock exam, I hope the teacher doesn’t ambiguously talk about me!"
The bell rang.
Just then the end of class bell rang out, Mr. Gao’s chest rose and fell as he grabbed the books on the lectern and left.
Once the class teacher left, the quiet classroom immediately stirred up.
As for Lin Tian, he sat down as if nothing had happened, casually picking up the book on the desk.
"Lin Tian~ are you okay?" Wu Yong saw Lin Tian actually reading, thinking his brain was acting up.
Normally, Lin Tian would rush out of the classroom, probably hiding in the bathroom to smoke.
"I’m fine!" Lin Tian said without looking up, flipping through the book with his right hand swiftly.
With Lin Tian’s exceptional memory, his eyes were like a computer scanner, he could recall things after a quick glance.
To prove himself, Lin Tian decided to spend time going through all the textbooks and test questions.
His way of reading, flipping page after page, seemed entirely unlike studying to others.
Just wasting time, flipping through pages aimlessly.
"Lin Tian, maybe we should go to the hospital for a check-up!" Wu Yong muttered under his breath.
"Check what?"
"I just feel like ever since you got discharged, something’s wrong up here!" Wu Yong pointed at his forehead.
"You’re the one with a problem, is there an issue with me studying?"
"There is an issue: the class’s last-ranked Lin Tian reading books, that’s like the sun rising from the west!" Wu Yong couldn’t fathom it.
"Stop talking nonsense, I’m going to study hard and get first in the grade!" Lin Tian said seriously.
"Damn!" Wu Yong couldn’t help but curse.
"You getting first in the grade? I’d rather believe pigs can climb trees!"
Lin Tian’s face went dark as sweat trickled down from his temples: "You really have that little faith in my abilities?"
"I don’t believe it. If you get first in the grade, I’ll wash and let you do as you please!" Wu Yong boasted.
"You said it!" Lin Tian’s mouth curled slightly, a sinister idea popped up in his mind.
"I said it, if you can get first in the grade, I, Wu Yong, will keep my word!" Wu Yong thought it was simply impossible, so he didn’t worry at all!
"Just be quiet from now on!" Lin Tian gestured for silence, then started reading feverishly.
In one class period, he flipped through all the books on his desk and towards the end of the period, he had no books left to read.
As class ended again, Lin Tian thought it necessary to borrow some books and test questions from good students.
After all, the more you read, the more you’ll know.
So Lin Tian set his sights on the student with the best grades in the class, Li Qiang.
Ranked top ten in the grade, his class performance was always top, consistently the teacher’s favorite.
It could be said, Li Qiang was the best student in the class.
Watching Li Qiang still studying at his desk even though class was over, Lin Tian walked over.
"Qiang!" Lin Tian patted Li Qiang’s arm, knowing he needed a favor, he spoke politely.
Li Qiang frowned when his train of thought was interrupted during studying, raising his head to see who it was.
"What do you want?" Li Qiang saw it was Lin Tian, frowned further, visibly displeased.
A class top student and a class last-ranked student, the two were destined not to interact.
Therefore, Li Qiang had no goodwill towards Lin Tian standing before him.
How could a good student mingle with a bad one?
Wouldn’t that downgrade his own quality and standard?
"Qiang, could you lend me your test papers for a look?" Lin Tian asked in a jestful tone.
"Borrow test papers?" Li Qiang touched his glasses, "Lin Tian~ I don’t have time for jokes!"
"I’m not joking!" Lin Tian said seriously, "I really want to borrow your test papers to study!"
"Ha!" Li Qiang’s mouth formed a sneer, "You can understand my test papers?
"Why couldn’t I?" Lin Tian hadn’t realized Li Qiang’s implicit meaning.
"You score three hundred, last in class, and you can understand my test papers?"
