Chapter 25: Congratulations to You
Li Qiang indeed voiced the feelings of many good students.
But Wu Yong’s words were like a cold bucket of water on their hearts, extinguishing any trace of luck or disbelief they had.
Yes, being first in the grade, how could someone copy and still be first?
No one in the entire grade scored higher than him, did he even need to copy?
No wonder Wu Yong said Li Qiang was out of his mind.
"But... how could he score so high?" Li Qiang’s self-confidence and even self-esteem were thoroughly shattered at that moment.
He, who had always been confident in his studies, even mocked Lin Tian with sarcasm.
Unexpectedly, his scores fell fifty marks behind Lin Tian.
Li Qiang found it hard to accept and couldn’t accept the result.
"Lin Tian is truly awesome!" One of the troublemaking students in the back row shouted out.
Then the entire back row followed suit, yelling. Lin Tian, a troublemaking student, suddenly becoming so outstanding made many of the troublemakers quite relieved.
Always, good students looked down on bad students, yet Lin Tian unexpectedly slapped the faces of these self-righteous good students.
No wonder the students in the back row were so excited because Lin Tian achieved what they wanted but couldn’t accomplish.
"Screech!" The piercing sound of a chair scraping against the floor drew everyone’s attention.
Lin Tian stood up from his seat and glanced around at his classmates.
"Initially, I came today to say goodbye to everyone, but unexpectedly heard the simulation scores. To be honest, I’m very happy!"
"But I’m also very unhappy because I’m about to leave this school, leave this place where I’ve lived for three years, leave all of you whom I see every morning and evening!"
"We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve had conflicts, we’ve been impulsive, we’ve had joy, we’ve had sadness, we are a whole!"
"I wish everyone puts forth effort and together scores well, Class One must win!"
"Class One must win!" Someone followed up with a shout.
"Class One must win!" Everyone was infected by this farewell sadness and shouted desperately.
"Everyone, I’ll take my leave now!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, sighed, and walked out of the classroom.
Leaving behind the sad silhouette of a departure!
Walking out of the classroom, Lin Tian took a deep breath; his pace noticeably quickened, afraid of breaking into tears later.
Mr. Gao hadn’t expected Lin Tian to be in the class; he thought Lin Tian had already left school, but Lin Tian suddenly appearing and saying so much left him stunned.
After realizing Lin Tian was leaving, Mr. Gao quickly chased after him.
"Lin Tian, wait!" Mr. Gao called out hastily.
Lin Tian stopped: "What else is there?"
"Uh... uh..." Mr. Gao said awkwardly: "Why don’t you hold off on leaving, I’ll talk to the principal and see if we can rescind the expulsion!"
"Rescind?" Lin Tian’s face showed a sarcastic smile.
"Why rescind?"
"Your scores this time were exceptional, a student like you is exactly what our school needs!" Mr. Gao felt he couldn’t make it up anymore, but he genuinely wanted Lin Tian to stay.
"Apparently Mr. Gao’s attitude wasn’t this way yesterday; just because my scores are good I shouldn’t be expelled? Or would I still be expelled if I didn’t score first in the grade?" Lin Tian asked coldly.
"Well..." Mr. Gao scratched his head, unsure how to answer.
"I’ll ask the principal to reduce the expulsion to a major reprimand, that shouldn’t be a problem!" Mr. Gao decided to first stabilize Lin Tian.
Lin Tian waved his hand: "Thank you Mr. Gao for your kindness but I was wronged yesterday, this kind of retention I don’t need!"
"Such a school isn’t worth staying in either!!!"
Lin Tian didn’t wait for Mr. Gao to speak, turned around, and left.
I’m leaving, no staying!
My mind is set!
"Ah!" Mr. Gao remained at the spot, sighing and scratching his head in frustration.
Meanwhile, in Mr. Fu’s office, a teacher entered with the grade sheet.
"Principal, the results for yesterday’s simulation test are out!" The teacher placed a grade sheet on Mr. Fu’s desk.
"How did the school do in this simulation test?" Mr. Fu didn’t even glance at the grade sheet, took a sip from his teacup while asking.
"This time, the first in the grade scored exceptionally well, scored 743 points, if similarly performed in the formal test, the city top scorer is surely our school’s!" The teacher couldn’t hide the joy on his face.
"Oh?" Mr. Fu’s murky eyes showed a hint of delight: "Liou Qingcheng has really been putting in effort!"
"Principal, the first in the grade this time is not Liou Qingcheng!"
"Then who is it?" Mr. Fu asked hurriedly.
"It’s a boy named Lin Tian!"
"Lin Tian?" Mr. Fu took a sip of tea, finding the name somewhat familiar.
𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Which class?" Mr. Fu suddenly remembered who Lin Tian is.
"Class One, the class Mr. Gao teaches!"
"Pff!" Mr. Fu immediately sprayed the tea all over the table.
"Cough cough..." Mr. Fu almost choked, struggling to catch his breath.
"Principal, you’re quite excited to hear this news, aren’t you?" The teacher said in a flattering manner.
"Damn it!" Mr. Fu cursed directly: "What the hell am I excited about, I just expelled him yesterday!"
Mr. Fu was utterly sure the first in the grade was indeed the Lin Tian from yesterday.
"What?" The smile on the teacher’s face froze: "Principal, this kid has the chance of becoming the top scorer in our city’s unified exams!"
"Kanyue City, such a top scorer!"
"Quickly, quickly~ contact Mr. Gao, have Lin Tian stay!" Mr. Fu said anxiously.
"Alright, I’ll call now!" The teacher immediately contacted Mr. Gao.
The call ended quickly, and the teacher sighed: "Mr. Gao said Lin Tian already packed his things and left the school, he tried to retain him but couldn’t!"
"Tell Gao, anyway, think of a way to bring Lin Tian back to school!" Mr. Fu banged the table and shouted, entirely different from when he expelled Lin Tian yesterday.
Mr. Gao was in trouble, damn it, you expelled Lin Tian, now you want to keep him.
If I were Lin Tian, I wouldn’t want to stay at this school either!!!
Lin Tian knew nothing of this, he left the campus with his backpack and didn’t go far because he had arranged to meet Liu Chan that afternoon.
If you don’t come, you’re no man; Liu Chan would certainly show up.
This account needed to be settled well.
At the store outside the school gate, Lin Tian bought a pack of cigarettes and sat on the curb smoking.
Just then the phone rang, took out the phone to see an unfamiliar number calling.
"Hello, who is this?" Lin Tian answered the call.
"You tell me who?" The voice of a teasing woman came from the other end.
"Liou Qingcheng!"
"Congratulations, first in the grade!"
