Who would still play tennis after being reborn?

Chapter 58 How much?

Li Yang wasn't lying. As soon as morning self-study ended, everyone started tidying up their books and arranging their desks neatly.

Class monitor Qiu Zhiyuan distributed the serial numbers he had received last week to each student, who then stuck them on the upper right corner of their desks.

The monthly exams at No. 1 High School are quite strict and may disrupt the exam room.

They are still in the first year of high school, so it's not very formal yet. If it were the third year of high school, it would be held during the holidays when the first and second year students are on vacation. Classrooms would be cleared out as exam rooms, with only thirty people in each room, completely following the college entrance examination model.

Gu Cheng learned from Qiu Zhiyuan that his exam room was in Class 5 of the first year of high school. He took his stationery bag and found seat number 3, sitting down quietly and waiting for the exam time to begin.

Few students were assigned to the same exam room, so everyone was quiet after entering the room and sat quietly waiting.

While Gu Cheng was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed a commotion in the examination room. When he looked up, he saw a girl in a school uniform sitting in front of him.

Xia Zhitong?
Gu Cheng suddenly understood why there had been such a big commotion.

However, Gu Cheng didn't say anything. Soon, the exam time arrived, and two unfamiliar teachers walked into the exam room with the exam papers.

When the exam papers were being passed around, Xia Zhitong instinctively turned around with a cold face. When she saw that Gu Cheng was sitting behind her, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly turned back around.

Gu Cheng's gaze lingered on the girl's delicate neck for a moment before turning to the exam paper. After filling in his name and seat number on the answer sheet, he quickly began to browse the questions.

rustling...

The classroom suddenly fell silent, with only the occasional rustling of pens and paper.

The two teachers were experienced proctors. They walked past the students with stern faces from time to time, deliberately creating a high-pressure atmosphere. They would even stand behind a student for a while.

Those with poor mental fortitude will find their minds completely blank at this moment.

At this point, probably no student will appreciate the teacher's good intentions; they might even secretly curse the teacher and hope the teacher will get away from them as soon as possible.

Some students know this, but... they still don't want the teacher standing behind them during the exam.

The pressure is too great.

Not only does your mind go blank, but you might also find yourself unable to solve problems you used to know how to do due to this high-pressure environment.

Time ticked by, and soon only half an hour remained. After checking his answers, Gu Cheng prepared to fill out the answer sheet, but suddenly felt the girl sitting in front of him lean back in her chair. He subconsciously looked up and found that the girl's densely packed answer sheet was completely visible from the corner of her clothes.

This reminds me of when I asked her about her last monthly exam score yesterday... ...Was she letting me copy it?

Given Xia Zhitong's personality and her aloof and unapproachable demeanor, this is probably the first time she has helped someone else cheat!
Believe it or not, most teachers probably wouldn't expect that a cool and aloof young girl would help a stranger cheat.

Gu Cheng quickly glanced at the answers and found that his answers were basically the same as the other person's. The only possible differences were in subjective questions such as reading comprehension and essay writing.

This is an excellent omen.

This also means that it is entirely feasible and highly efficient for him to learn by utilizing the full potential of his talent.

What made Gu Cheng both amused and exasperated was that Xia Zhitong even wanted him to copy from subjective questions like history and politics, which required filling out the entire answer sheet.

The two days of exams flew by.

When Gu Cheng returned to the original classroom, many students were moving books and tidying up their desks.

Before he could even sit down, Lin Huaiman called out to him as he passed her seat: "Hey, Gu Cheng, could you help me move my desk? It's full of books, it's too heavy, I can't move it."

Gu Cheng ignored him and returned to his seat.

Lin Huaiman bit her lip, looking aggrieved.

"Acheng, why don't you help her out? I think she's been trying to get on your good side lately."

Li Yang nudged Gu Cheng's arm and whispered, "And I heard that Lin Huaiman has started learning tennis. She's someone who doesn't like sports, and suddenly she's started learning tennis. Many of her junior high classmates say it's because of you."

"Actually, Lin Huaiman is quite good-looking. It would be impressive to have her as a girlfriend."

Gu Cheng rolled his eyes at him: "If you like her so much, why don't you go help her move her desk?"

"Well, they have to call me first. Look, they called you!"

Gu Cheng didn't speak, but glanced at Lin Huaiman who was still standing there staring at him: "Why don't you go find Li Yang? He's quite helpful."

Lin Huaiman felt a little choked up upon hearing this. Of course, she knew that asking other people would help her, but she wanted Gu Cheng's help!

Especially after Gu Cheng won the men's singles championship in the tennis tournament and his fame at No. 1 High School soared, she noticed that Gu Cheng was becoming more and more handsome, practically living up to her ideal prince charming.

Having a guy like that as your boyfriend would not only make you look good when you go out, but it would also indirectly increase your own value.

Li Yang was somewhat embarrassed. Why did you two drag me into this conflict?
"Find someone else, I'm busy." Li Yang gritted his teeth, deciding to completely offend Lin Huaiman.

He rejected my brother in the second year of junior high, and now he wants to get close to me again. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Women are like clothes, brothers are like hands and feet.

I, Li Yang, can tell which is more important and which is less important.

After being rejected by two people in a row, one of whom was Li Yang, who was a little chubby and not particularly good-looking, Lin Huaiman's face immediately darkened, and she almost got so angry that her nose crooked.

Her eyes stared at Li Yang like copper bells.

Gu Cheng ignores me, fine. He's handsome, won a championship, and his grades aren't bad. What are you, Li Yang, anyway?
Hey!
……

"Brother, how was what I did?"

After Lin Huaiman turned around angrily, Li Yang came up to her and took credit.

"That's not what you said at first." "Wasn't I just kidding? Who the hell is going to help her move? She rejected my brother, and now she wants to go back to him? There's no such thing as a free lunch, right, bro?"

"Ha~"

Gu Cheng sneered.

"Brother, maybe you should stop laughing, it's kind of creepy."

Li Yang gave an awkward smile, then leaned closer and asked, "By the way, how did you do on the monthly exam? Did you get 500 points?"

A perfect score is 1050; 500 is a failing grade.

"I compared my test papers with others, and this time I scored at least 600. I'm really sorry, but I've finally gotten my revenge."

"600?"

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Do you know who's sitting in front of me?"

"Who?"

"Xia Zhitong".

"Fuck!"

Li Yang was immediately filled with envy: "If it were me, I would be willing to sit behind her even if I had to get 400 points on the test! How can you be so lucky?"

"I secretly copied a lot of her stuff."

This made Li Yang even more frustrated.

Originally, she thought that she was not as good as Gu Cheng in other aspects, and that she would be able to surpass him in this monthly exam. Unexpectedly, she sat behind Xia Zhitong in the monthly exam and even copied her answers.

In this way, even if I can't copy everything, I might still get over 600 points, and I might not even score as high as Gu Cheng.

Thursday.

After the monthly exams, the teachers' agonizing time began. They worked day and night grading papers, and finally finished compiling everyone's scores on Thursday afternoon.

Zhang Xiantu walked into the classroom carrying a large stack of test papers.

“I know this monthly exam was difficult,” Zhang Xiantu said coldly. “But I didn’t expect you to do so poorly; it was a complete disaster.”

“Even if it is really difficult, there shouldn’t be only 16 people in a class who score over 750.”

"You think getting into No. 1 High School guarantees you a place in a good university? If this continues, you won't even get into a second-tier university, let alone a top-tier one."

“I’ve never really liked to scold students, but this time you’ve really disappointed me.”

boom!
Zhang Xiantu habitually pressed a stack of test papers onto the podium, creating a loud vibration.

The audience was deathly silent, eerily quiet.

"but……"

"There is one person who surprised me." As he said this, Zhang Xiantu looked at Gu Cheng's position and suddenly said, "Gu Cheng."

"what?"

Gu Cheng subconsciously stood up.

"Who told you to stand? Sit down." Zhang Xiantu's expression softened considerably.

Gu Cheng sat back down.

"I've been teaching for decades, and I've taught many classes. Many students have left a deep impression on me, but..."

"Among the students who could only score 600 points a month ago, and who haven't been attending classes recently, or even had time to study on their own, there really aren't any who can score over 1000 points."

Zhang Xiantu pulled out nine papers from the top of a stack of test papers, then walked over to Gu Cheng and placed them on Gu Cheng's desk: "But Gu Cheng did it, nine subjects, 1025 points."

"How many?"

"1025 points?"

"25 points short of a perfect score?"

"Gu Cheng?"

The classroom erupted in excitement. This score was something that even the top student from the next class might have been able to achieve, or even couldn't have.

Gu Cheng, a mediocre student in the class, actually scored 1025 on the monthly exam. That's too... unbelievable.

"No, bro, you went to play tennis! Why did you also sign up for tutoring classes?!"

Gu Cheng ignored Li Yang, who was almost in tears. To be honest, he himself was shocked by the score.

His talent was so brilliant that it was terrifying.

No wonder those little guys all have such good grades. Now that I think about it, it must have a lot to do with their selflessness!

However, this is also related to the fact that the content learned in the first year of high school is relatively simple. Who knows how high the test score will be in the third year of high school?

However, there is a limit to how much talent one can unleash, so getting a high score is not difficult.
