Huo Yao sighed in her heart when she noticed that Chen Yu was about to beat her chest and stomp her feet in anger. It seemed she had undoubtedly failed her language paper.
Chen Yu inhaled deeply in agony before she said, “... You only scored 92 marks. How could you have only gotten 92?!”
The paper was worth 150 marks in total, and 92 was the passing score.
Chen Yu had reason to suspect that Huo Yao held something against the subject which she taught. Otherwise, why would she score only passing marks?
A teacher from another class had marked Huo Yao’s paper and even gave her the last two marks because she had great handwriting.
Huo Yao raised her head in surprise and said, “Mhm? So I passed?”
Chen Yu noticed the look of surprise on Huo Yao’s face. It was as though... Huo Yao felt that she did rather well. In an instant, she could sense her high blood pressure acting up.
“Huo Yao, if you are unhappy with my method of teaching, you can tell me. But your grades for language are unacceptable,” said Chen Yu as she gritted her teeth.
Huo Yao got full marks in all subjects but she barely passed her language paper. It was utterly mortifying for Chen Yu!
(???)
Huo Yao coughed gently and tried to explain helplessly. “Miss Chen, you misunderstand. I don’t have a problem with you. Erm... I’m just really poor in languages.”
Damn! Of all the subjects out there, why was she poor in language?
Chen Yu clutched her heart and felt desperately in need of some pills for her heartburn.
Moments later, Chen Yu said angrily, “I don’t care. You have to work on this. Why don’t you come over to my place during weekends? I can give you tuition privately.”
When Huo Yao did badly in the language paper, Chen Yu felt as though she was holding a brilliant student back.
So Chen Yu decided that even if she went with no rest during weekends, she had to improve Huo Yao’s language grades.
Huo Yao got a genuine shock when she heard the class advisor offering to give her tuition. She composed herself and lied with a straight face. “I don’t think it would be possible. My parents already signed me up for tuition classes for my other subjects, so I don’t have time.”
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan sneezed in unison at home.
Was someone talking about them?
Chen Yu felt worse after she heard Huo Yao.
Huo Yao was clearly only bad at the subject that Chen Yu taught. Instead of working on her weak subject, they got her help for her other subjects. They definitely had a problem with her!
Chen Yu sighed to herself and said in a sincere and earnest manner, “No matter what, you have to work on your language grades or else it’ll affect your college entrance exam.”
“Okay! I will, Miss Chen,” promised Huo Yao right away. Anything to make Chen Yu stop talking about weekend tuition.
Chen Yu glanced at her again. Then she waved her hand and said, “Go back to class then.”
Huo Yao nodded. But she asked before she left. “Will the results for the monthly test be out today?”
Chen Yu had already gone back to her desk and turned to reply. “No. They’ll be released next Monday. We haven’t come up with the total and the ranking yet.”
“Oh, I see,” said Huo Yao and turned to leave.
**
Huo Yao had become famous in school after ranking first twice during the National Quiz Contest, so all eyes were on her monthly test scores. Although the monthly quiz was over, the scores had yet to be tallied.
In the meanwhile, the tiny episode of getting called to the office for her lousy language score had spread like wildfire across the senior classes. Someone had maliciously spread the word, and it became the hottest topic in the school.
