A Young Woman's Heart

A round stool would work, but it's definitely not as comfortable as a bed, especially after sitting for a long time.

The two tidied up the things on the table—basically, they just stuffed them into the drawer.

In fact, there have been instances where two students took the wrong homework books and ended up finishing their homework.

It's not that much of a difference, but it's still quite funny to think about.

"Wanyan, let's go. Why did you bring an umbrella? It's not going to rain today, is it?"

"Sunscreen."

"what?"

“Yaoyao is a girl now, so she needs to take care of her skin.” Li Wanyan shook her head helplessly. “Girls must pay attention to sun protection when they go out.”

"It doesn't matter. Besides, how will we protect ourselves from the sun when we get to the beach?"

"Let's go check it out tomorrow and buy some sunscreen."

Is it expensive?

"The ones with better effects will definitely be more expensive."

"Then forget it." Mo Xueyao shrugged. "Wouldn't a wheatish tan look good too?"

Li Wanyan couldn't help but imagine what Mo Xueyao would look like with her skin tanned to a wheat color.

Hmm... actually, it's not a problem.

"The main purpose is not to prevent tanning, but to prevent sunburn. Sunburn will cause the skin to turn red, and in severe cases, it can even ulcerate."

"Really? I feel like I used to just run around outside like this all summer..."

“I had a strong ability to recover when I was young,” Li Wanyan said softly, but still took the umbrella with her.

When you go out, open the umbrella to shield the two of you from direct sunlight.

In those days, not many people carried umbrellas on sunny days, so when the two of them walked outside with their umbrellas, they always attracted a lot of attention. An older woman casually remarked from the side—

"Young people these days can't endure hardship. They're so afraid of the sun that they need to use umbrellas even on sunny days."

"What's it to you?!" Mo Xueyao glared back angrily without any politeness.

"Yaoyao, be a little more ladylike."

"Tch, there's no need to be a lady with a shrew!" Mo Xueyao gave the middle finger to the middle-aged woman without any politeness. In that instant, a bit of the roguishness from her boyhood seemed to return to her.

Chapter 8 Grade 11, Second Semester Report Card

The school's automatic doors were half-open, seemingly indicating that it was time to pick up report cards during the holidays.

A blackboard was placed downstairs in the lobby, with the positions of each class changed.

For example, Class 2 of Grade 11 has been moved to the fourth floor and is now in classroom 402—and next semester it will be called Class 2 of Grade 11.

"I'll have to climb a few more flights of stairs again..." Mo Xueyao sighed, "and it's even farther from the cafeteria now..."

"I heard that the second-year high school students get out of class 20 minutes later than the first-year students at noon."

"Huh? Why?"

"The morning classes will all be extended by five minutes, while the afternoon classes will remain the same."

"Are you sure, Wanyan?"

"That's probably true. I heard it from the teachers in the office."

"Ugh—it hurts so much, and I'm not even in my final year of high school yet..." Mo Xueyao scratched her long hair in disarray.

After struggling to climb to the fourth floor, I found that my homeroom teacher, Ye Wen, was already waiting in the classroom.

The ceiling fan overhead was blowing loudly, lifting a corner of the report cards.

"Wanyan and Xiaoyao are here?" Ye Wen, who was checking the report cards for errors, greeted the two with a smile. "You've come at the right time. Could you also double-check my grades to make sure there are no mistakes?"

"Oh dear, then I should be a little late," Mo Xueyao said jokingly.

"Here, these are for both of you. Let's check if there are any mistakes in your scores."

"Hmm... um..." Mo Xueyao took the list from Ye Wen and started calculating seriously. After a short while, she said with certainty, "That's right."

"Okay, then please help me double-check the others' results."

“Okay.” As the class monitor, Li Wanyan naturally agreed immediately without hesitation.

A report card naturally contains more than just grades.

In fact, the first page is all about comprehensive evaluation.

The overall evaluation is based on usual performance and exam results.

Sometimes, even if you pass the exam, if your usual performance is poor, you will still be marked as 'fail'.

Sometimes, you might just pass the exam, but if you perform well in general, you might even get a 'good' rating.

The assessment of each subject needs to be done by the teacher of that subject.

Relatively speaking, most teachers are quite tolerant, and to be honest, if you teach a lot of classes, you usually can't remember everyone's specific performance.

At times like these, you have to rely on a vague memory.

Mo Xueyao's evaluations were all 'Excellent', except for this home economics class where she sometimes liked to slack off, so she was rated 'Good'.

Physical education classes, however, are not tested due to physical reasons, so they are crossed out with a slash, meaning they are not graded.

Li Wanyan received excellent grades in every subject, which was only natural for her.

For this final exam, Chinese and English are each scored out of 120, while Mathematics is scored out of 150. Science is a combined paper with a total score of 180.

Mo Xueyao has already obtained the vast majority of the points.

On the other hand, there are the specific scores for the final exam.

Even the ranking of each subject in the whole grade was written clearly, and the words "overall ranking" were printed in red ink, making them the most eye-catching.

After reviewing all the transcripts, Mo Xueyao finally took out her own transcript and looked at it carefully once more.

It's a happy thing to appreciate your own score, after all, it's the result of your hard work.

"Chinese, um... I got 114 this time... about right," Mo Xueyao muttered.

"It's normal to lose some points on reading comprehension and composition, but you don't actually need to lose points on reading comprehension." Ye Wen seemed to know a lot about her test paper.

"I know, but I think answering questions one by one in that formulaic way is too boring. It completely lacks my own thoughts. At least this is my own understanding after reading it. Why does it have to be the same as the standard answer?"

“That’s just how the education system is.” Ye Wen smiled helplessly. “However, this result is not bad. It’s not easy to get high scores in Chinese, especially in the composition section.”

How many points would you give for a tactful response?

"One hundred and sixteen," Li Wanyan replied casually, glancing at her report card.

"Ah—taller than me!" Mo Xueyao exaggeratedly held up two fingers, "Two points taller!!"

In rankings, two points can often make a big difference, but it's different in Chinese, because sometimes the scores of the top few tied people are several points different from those of the people behind them, which is quite normal.

"English, um... 120, I got a perfect score on that." Mo Xueyao glanced at Li Wanyan's report card with a hint of pride. "Hehe! Wanyan got 119, only one point was deducted!"

"Hmm... I might have made a mistake on that question." Li Wanyan thought for a moment and remembered the question she was most unsure about when she was doing the English test.

Mo Xueyao's mood immediately brightened.

However, Li Wanyan scored higher than her in the later subjects.

Mathematics: Li Wanyan got 147, while Mo Xueyao got 145, which means that half of the points were deducted for the bonus question.

Science: Li Wanyan is 175cm tall, Mo Xueyao is 172cm tall, they are 3 points apart.

Within a class, it won't make a big difference in rankings, but within the entire grade, it's hard to say.

In the overall ranking of all subjects, Li Wanyan was third, while Mo Xueyao was ninth, still barely hanging at the bottom of the top ten.

"The competition for the top ten in the whole grade is still very fierce..." Mo Xueyao muttered.

Because she ranked third in the whole class.

Mr. Xue ranked first in overall score. Except for his Chinese composition, which he struggled to get a perfect score in, he got full marks in all other subjects, making him the undisputed number one in the entire grade.

In this final exam, Hua Yinyin, who had previously ranked first in the entire grade in Chinese, fell to the very bottom.

"Why did Hua Yinyin do so poorly on the Chinese test this time..." Mo Xueyao looked at each of her classmates' report cards with curiosity. When she saw Hua Yinyin's report card, she was surprised and stunned for a moment - she only got 100 out of 120 on the Chinese test.

Keep in mind that the essay is worth 40 points.

Surely she couldn't have made such a huge mistake before, right?

"She lost half her points because her essay had questionable values, even though she got the rest right."

"Huh? What did she write?"

"Well... I wrote some things about supporting homosexuality and singlehood." Ye Wen smiled helplessly. "The exam paper was graded by other teachers, and for essays like Chinese, the content has to conform to the general public's values."

"I see... Hmm, this is too..."

"I think she might have done it on purpose," Ye Wen chuckled. "She probably thinks that essays that can get high marks are too formulaic."

“It really sounds like something this guy would do.” Mo Xueyao nodded in deep agreement.

Mo Xiaoxiao's grades remained good, consistently ranking within the top 30 in the entire grade. Besides her, another familiar face was Cha Li.

Wang Jiale achieved a tie for first place in English across the entire grade. There were eight people in the whole grade who got a perfect score in English this time. If you missed it by just one point, you would have to start from ninth place.

As for her other subjects... well, those are probably the ones that drag her down.

Furthermore, because she is not good at science, she is at a disadvantage in the calculation of her overall score.

You should know that science is worth 180 points, and it's the subject that can most easily affect your overall score.

Following the rankings were the teacher's comments.

They were all handwritten by Ye Wen. She wrote more about some of the students who left a deep impression on her, while she only wrote a few words about some of the students who were usually very low-key and rarely paid attention to them. In fact, she couldn't write more even if she wanted to.

Because I really don't remember it.
