The laughter in the class became even more unrestrained.
Even Chen Min could not help but cover her mouth and laugh quietly beside the podium.
“Cheng Ling, just you wait!”
“When? I can’t wait after school. I have to rush home for my meal.”
“Hahaha, Wu Ya, just admit it. You can’t even beat a girl! Hahaha, it’s so funny!”
Chen Min finally stepped out to calm the flames of war, and her voice was carrying a hint of a smile. “Alright, students, we’ve had enough of this nonsense. Let’s get down to business. Wu Ya, sit down.”
Chen Min looked around the class and pointed at the empty desks in the last row.
“Cheng Ling, you can sit there.”
The classroom was instantly filled with whispers. When Cheng Ling walked to the last row, she found that there were already a few books in the drawer of one of the desks.
Cheng Ling raised her eyebrows. It seemed that her deskmate was quite brave. Did he skip class on the first day of school?
“Alright, students, let’s talk about the last class-placement exam. For the other students in our grade, this exam might be a class-placement exam. But for the students in our class, this is a regular exam. We still have to look at our ranking, see clearly our strengths and weaknesses, and strive to fight for it in the last year...”
Suddenly, the classroom door was opened. Cheng Ling was tidying up her school bag and did not look up.
The next second, a pair of black sports shoes appeared in her line of sight. She also heard an inexplicable familiar voice, “Hey, who told you to sit here?”
Cheng Ling was helpless. Why did every class have this kind of idiot!
She slapped the physics paper in her hand on the table and looked up...
The boy was very tall. His hair was shaved into a very neat buzz cut, and his outline was even sharper. His eyebrows were straight and his eyes were bright. He looked like he was not to be trifled with.
Hmm? Why did this boy look a little familiar?
The boy in front of her clearly recognized her as well.
“You’re the boy who bullied others this morning...”
“You’re the girl who meddled in other people’s business this morning...”
“Ding Yu, quickly sit down. We’re having a class meeting,” Chen Min urged.
Ding Yu sat in his seat and pulled the desks apart. A ‘divider’ appeared between the two of them.
...
“You’re so childish,” Cheng Ling said. “You’re like a primary school student.”
Ding Yu, “Hey! You!”
Chen Min, “Ding Yu!”
The class meeting continued peacefully until 10 minutes before the class ended. Chen Min printed out the class ranking list of the class placement exam. Everyone had a sheet in their hands, and it was mentioned: When seeing a wise person with virtue or ability, you must think about learning from him.
“Teacher, there are no wise men in our class. Who can we learn from? Everyone is at the bottom of the grade.”
“That’s right! Now there’s even a person at the last place of the grade.”
Everyone looked at Cheng Ling as if they were watching a show.
“Why are you looking at me? I’m not at the bottom of the grade...”
Before Cheng Ling could speak, Ding Yu, who was beside her, started to explain.
As Ding Yu thought that his classmates were all looking at him.
A boy at the front desk turned around. He seemed to be on good terms with Ding Yu. He knocked on his desk and said, “I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about your new deskmate, who is at the last place.”
This time, it was Ding Yu’s turn to gloat.
“I didn’t expect that there would be someone whose grades are even worse than mine. New deskmate, you’re really great!”
The surroundings were filled with snickering.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the classroom door. Chen Min walked out, and when she returned, she was holding a new stack of papers.
“Students, just now, the teacher from the academic affairs office reported that there were a few students whose grades were not recorded. This ranking list is the latest.”
The new ranking list was passed from front to back, and it was quickly distributed.
“There’s no change. We’re still in the countdown!”
“That’s right. They even pushed us a few places behind!”
“Hey, wait!”
“Look! There’s a new person at the last place!”
This dramatic change made everyone look excitedly at the last line on the paper ...
Then, everyone’s eyes turned to Cheng Ling’s desk.
Cheng Ling, “?”
She flipped to the last page and looked at the last name.
The last row had the word “Ding Yu” written on it.
Hence, she looked at the person beside her with ridicule in her eyes.
“Why are you all looking at me? Didn’t I say that I’m not at the last...”
The guy in front turned around again and pointed at the last name for him to see.
“Brother Yu... the last place seems to be... you!”
After saying that, the guy quickly turned around and even moved his chair forward, as if he was afraid that Ding Yu would hit him.
