The teacher nodded and said, “Just leave it there. You did well this time, coming in first in the class. Great job!” he praised with a smile.
Jiang Yanyan had already checked her score, so she wasn’t surprised. After all, she had held the top position many times before, so she smiled humbly, “Thank you, teacher. I’ll continue to work hard.”
“Well, the teacher believes in you.”
After Jiang Yanyan spoke, she glanced at Luo Xi with concern before leaving the office.
Luo Yuyi’s expression darkened. She had only seen her own score, which was considered a very high score. She thought she might be the first this time!
She cared a lot about rankings. After all, in the eyes of everyone, including the teachers, she was considered quite excellent.
Occasionally, Jiang Yanyan would snatch the first place, but most of the time it was her.
It was fine when they played together before, but now Jiang Yanyan was clearly distancing herself. With her own scores slipping, Luo Yuyi felt uncomfortable.
She wanted to be first, with Luo Xi in last place. That was the result she wanted.
But now that it had happened, she couldn’t change it and felt a bit disappointed.
If only Jiang Yanyan had shown her the questions back then, maybe she wouldn’t be first!
The teacher’s gaze shifted to the three of them, and he furrowed his brow.
Luo Yuyi thought he was angry about Luo Xi’s failing grades, so she quickly spoke up to defend her. “Teacher, please don’t blame my sister. She’s been busy lately and hasn’t been focused on studying, which is why she failed again. I promise to help tutor her well in the future, so please don’t hold this against her. She didn’t intend to come in last again.” She said with a worried expression.
Unexpectedly, the instructor’s expression didn’t improve. It became even more serious.
Seeing this, Luo Yuyi felt a sense of triumph, though her face still showed a troubled look.
Luo Xi was most annoyed by her feigned concern that only led to misunderstandings.
What do you mean by not focusing on studying?
What do you mean by not intending to come in last?
Watching the instructor’s darkening face, Luo Xi tightened her hands.
“Who told you Luo Xi came in last?” the instructor asked while frowning.
Luo Yuyi was slightly taken aback, not immediately responding. “Wasn’t she?”
The instructor shot her a complicated glance and then turned to the clearly surprised Luo Xi.
“Have you checked your score?” he asked.
Luo Xi shook her head. “Not yet, but what did you mean by what you just said, teacher? Am I not last?”
She asked a bit nervously.
Seeing her reaction, the instructor chuckled and shook his head, saying, “You ranked third this time! I heard from your invigilator that you were very serious and thorough with the exam. When I saw your score, I could hardly believe it. You’ve made such significant progress. You didn’t fail this subject and did so well. Your calculus teacher must be very happy now.”
“Really, really…” Luo Xi exclaimed at his words, her beautiful eyes widening in excitement.
“Of course. You can check your score to confirm. Third place is just one point less than second!” the instructor said with a smile.
Luo Xi was so shaken that she couldn’t find her words.
“Teacher, you mean my sister came in third?” Luo Yuyi asked. Her face was filled with disbelief.
“Of course!”
“That’s impossible! My sister has always been at the bottom in exam. How could she suddenly come in third?” Luo Yuyi questioned skeptically.
