Reborn in 2015, I became a male god starting in high school.

Chapter 23 Full Marks Essay
"Zhou Ziyang is the top student in the whole school? Who is he? I've never heard of him before?"

In the entire county's No. 1 High School, there are 20 classes in the senior year, with nearly a thousand students. After three years of schooling, some people may be hearing Zhou Ziyang's name for the first time.

The top-ranked students on this grade's academic leaderboard are actually just a few familiar faces, like Xia Wei, Wang Zhong, and Sun Ke.

Basically, it's just these same few students coming and going, but this is the first time Zhou Ziyang has ever heard of them.

I heard that in the past, even the best students would only rank outside the top 200. How come they got first place in the whole school this time?

"Who exactly is this Zhou Ziyang?!"

"I know, he's in Class 1, and he's quite handsome."

"Handsome? How handsome? Do you have any photos? Let me see."

It has to be said that in high school, as long as your grades are good enough, you will definitely attract the attention of girls. Not to mention that nearly half of the students in the whole school are discussing who Zhou Ziyang is, even the fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged dance students in the arts and sports class know the name of Zhou Ziyang.

Some of them had never heard of Zhou Ziyang.

Some, however, remembered Zhou Ziyang.

Is he the boy who was running on the playground every day a few days ago?

"Oh, I know, the one who runs really fast. I heard he was heartbroken and suffered a shock."

"Perfect! Handsome, smart, and physically strong. Wouldn't it be amazing to have him as my boyfriend?"

"That's all you ever think about."

During the first class on Monday, everyone was still enthusiastically discussing who Zhou Ziyang was.

When the teacher arrived in the classroom and heard the students' discussion, he couldn't help but say disdainfully, "Number one in the whole school? Number one in the whole county!"

"Number one in the entire county!?"

The students were even more shocked, but upon closer examination, it made perfect sense.

In the entire county, the only high schools that are truly competitive are No. 1 High School and No. 3 High School.

The First Middle School has always been far ahead, so it's normal that Zhou Ziyang is first in the whole school and first in the whole county.

This is a joint examination involving six counties and one city.

Zhou Ziyang ranked first in the entire school, but would rank thirteenth in the city.

When Mr. Chen, Zhou Ziyang's homeroom teacher, received the news, he almost grinned from ear to ear.

The homeroom teacher of the science class next door, who was also Zhou Ziyang's math teacher, said that Old Chen had hit the jackpot and got such a great deal at the last minute.

"Zhou Ziyang is usually unassuming, but he's so good at math, why did he choose humanities? I think he should have chosen science!"

Old Chen was displeased upon hearing this: "Oh, so he's good at his grades but not so good at humanities? His Chinese is much better than his math."

In addition to making great progress in his ranking, Zhou Ziyang also received two special honors.

One of them is a perfect score in English.

Looking across the entire school, there are only a handful of students who get a perfect score in English, and this time, Zhou Ziyang is the only one who got a perfect score in English.

As for the other honor, it is even more unbelievable.

That's a perfect score on the essay!
Even the homeroom teacher was a little incredulous when she received the perfect score on the essay.

Who can get a perfect score on an essay these days? There must be something wrong with that.
Then he specifically picked up Zhou Ziyang's essay and read it through.

Well, it is indeed a good work.
My father passed away when I was very young.

Upon seeing the first sentence, the homeroom teacher almost lost her composure.

After skimming through the entire text, as a Chinese language teacher with twenty years of experience, I can roughly guess why the examiner gave it a perfect score.

This article has neat handwriting and a clean layout; it deserves a five-point impression score.

The text is not written in a fancy style, but the emotions are simple and pure.

In addition, the college entrance examination essay is mainly argumentative. The principle is that although argumentative essays may not get high scores, they can get a stable score, so most students will write argumentative essays.

Such narrative writing is all the more precious.

Of course, all these factors combined are not enough to give Zhou Ziyang a perfect score.

The remaining two points are for sympathy. The homeroom teacher knew about Zhou Ziyang's family situation, so he had mixed feelings after reading the article, but the examiner was unaware of this.

Just by reading the article, you can tell that this child's life was very difficult, as his father had passed away a long time ago.

He is a very motivated child, and he answered almost all the previous questions correctly.

Moreover, he also has beautiful penmanship.

What teacher wouldn't like a child like that?

Especially the last two sentences.

The grass on the grave mound turns green then yellow, yellow then green again.

These few short sentences capture the passage of time and the speaker's longing for his father.

These two sentences alone are enough to make the examiner give them full marks.

Thus, Zhou Ziyang became part of six counties and one city.

The only student to get a perfect score on the essay.

The essays should not only be included in collections of excellent essays, but also be taught in classrooms by most teachers in the six counties and one city.

Their opening remarks were roughly: "Come on, let's take a look at the outstanding essays from this exam."

"This article was written by Zhou Ziyang. Zhou Ziyang ranked first in the county and thirteenth in the city this time. You should learn from Zhou Ziyang."

“Look at Zhou Ziyang, he lost his father when he was very young, but he never bowed down to life and always had lofty aspirations. Compared to him, and then look at yourself, aren’t you ashamed?”

"The best two sentences in the entire article are the last two sentences."

"The grass on the grave mound turns green and then yellow, then yellow and then green again."

These two sentences have been repeatedly mentioned by various schools and teachers.

However, not everyone is truly unaware of Zhou Ziyang's family situation.

Zhou Ziyang's parents always have mutual friends.

Their mutual friend's child is actually about the same age as Zhou Ziyang.

When they learned that Zhou Ziyang had ranked first in the entire school, they were first shocked, and then they thought Zhou Ziyang was awesome!
Zhou Ziyang had met these friends a few times before with his mother, but they were not from the same social class and rarely kept in touch.

Everyone knows that Zhou Ziyang exists.

After hearing the teacher read Zhou Ziyang's essay aloud.

They were completely bewildered.

"????"

"No, Zhou Ziyang's father is dead!?"

"Zhou Ziyang's father is not..."

Wow, that's really amazing!
When they got home that day, they couldn't wait to find their parents.

"Mom and Dad! Do you know who got the top score in the whole school this time?"

"Did you take an exam? What score did you get?"

"Oh, my score doesn't matter! Do you even know who's number one in the whole school?!"

"What does being the top judge in the whole school have to do with me? It's definitely not you."

"you!"

The stubborn parents almost drove their classmate crazy. He said anxiously, "The top student in the whole school is Zhou Ziyang, the one you told me about, your colleague, the one you divorced, his son."

"You mean Guowei's son?" At this moment, his father finally remembered who it was.

Number one in the whole school?

That's great, this kid is promising!
"That's not important. What's important is that he wrote a perfect essay. Do you know what the essay was about?"

"Tell me what it is! Who taught you this? Why are you so secretive?!"
