My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 223: Big Stone Crushes Chest

Chapter 223

"Why did your grades improve so quickly?"

Rongrong stared into his eyes while slowly bringing the orange juice to her lips, and calmly replied, "I suppose I just had a breakthrough. The quantitative accumulation led to a qualitative change - I had enough foundation, and then suddenly everything clicked."

The math representative from the neighboring class nodded with partial understanding. Although he felt Rongrong's explanation wasn't quite logical, it was normal for ordinary people not to understand the world of geniuses.

The fact that Rongrong could get into a provincial key school proved she wasn't stupid. It seemed reasonable that someone intelligent, after accumulating enough knowledge, could suddenly have a breakthrough one day.

The math representative believed her explanation. He raised his beer and toasted Rongrong again, "You're actually quite outstanding. Your classmates are blind to not see it. You shouldn't care about their opinions, especially that person from yesterday - they're just jealous. The more excellent you become, the more jealous they'll be. Once you're at a level they can't reach, it won't matter anymore."

Rongrong didn't take that person seriously, but she appreciated his kind intentions. "Thank you, what you said makes a lot of sense."

While the math representative believed her explanation, Rongrong wasn't focused on him. She was more interested in knowing what Shi Li thought.

However, Shi Li's inner thoughts had only been heard once two minutes ago, and then fell silent.

The only sound at the table was the math representative continuing to comfort and encourage her to stay strong and keep improving.

Shi Li and Fu Huixing were quietly eating their meals. Rongrong wanted to secretly glimpse Shi Li's expression but feared her action would seem too deliberate and make her appear guilty.

By the end of the meal, Rongrong still couldn't figure out what Shi Li was thinking.

After returning home, she felt unsettled.

Time didn't ease everything; instead, it made her feel increasingly guilty.

About half a month later, the competition results were announced.

When the Class Teacher came to share the good news, the students were quietly listening to the class monitor discuss what had been covered in the recent meeting.

It wasn't anything major - just an announcement about the New Year's arts performance. Each class needed to present at least one performance (with a note that senior year three classes weren't required to participate).

The class monitor asked if anyone wanted to volunteer for the performance. When no one stepped forward, which was within his expectations, he added an incentive - participating would earn two points for class credit, and winning would earn even more.

As for how many points would be awarded for placing, that would be analyzed case by case, but it would definitely be more than two points, never less.

Less than two months had passed since the sports meet, and many things had happened during this time. They had completed a midterm exam, where some students earned good scores and added many points for themselves and their groups.

Others were less fortunate - just after turning their negative points positive through the sports meet, they found themselves back where they started, proudly holding negative points again.

With only a month and a half left until winter break, the tradition of making dumplings together in the classroom on New Year's Eve couldn't happen, so these negative points couldn't continue.

It was perfect timing.

The class monitor was like a dragon king bringing timely rain.

The previously silent classroom suddenly erupted with activity.

Everyone started raising their hands, and except for a few normal proposals, the rest were quite outlandish.

The class monitor said, "I can understand the person who wanted to sign up for fencing earlier - at least that has some entertainment value. But what's this about signing up for painting? Watching you paint on stage is too absurd. Can you play violin with one hand while painting with the other?"

Xu Weiwei timidly suggested, "How about I demonstrate painting with my feet?"

The class monitor closed his eyes briefly. "Get out."

Xu Weiwei: "Okay!"

However, there were more than twenty others in the class who were just as outrageous as Xu Weiwei.

Xu Weiwei had provided a reference point, and the proposed performances became increasingly absurd.

The Chinese literature representative said, "I can recite 'Li Sao' for everyone. If that's too monotonous..."

The English representative added, "I can provide English dubbing for the poetry recitation."

"I can..."

Seeing that things might escalate to chest-crushing stunts with stones, and fearing that the appearance of stones and hammers might give the school leaders in the audience heart attacks,

The class monitor quickly halted the increasingly chaotic performance sign-ups.

Just then, the Class Teacher entered, and the class monitor quickly said, "We'll discuss this in the class group chat after school," before returning to his seat.

Happy about his students winning awards, which were quite prestigious, the Class Teacher couldn't hide his joy. "I'd like to share some good news. Shi Li, Rongrong, and Fu Huixing recently participated in a competition and achieved excellent results. Let's congratulate these three students."

The classroom erupted in applause.

Shi Li was confident about herself and Rongrong but had been slightly worried about Fu Huixing.

Although Fu Huixing often came to her with questions, and his test scores and mock exam results were always good, Shi Li still worried he might not perform well this time.

But judging from the Class Teacher's tone, it seemed all three of them had done quite well.

Shi Li was surprised and delighted. [Fu Huixing must have done well too.]

The Class Teacher had grown accustomed to hearing Shi Li's inner thoughts while speaking at the podium, and usually could control himself from looking at her.

But today, upon hearing Shi Li's thoughts, he couldn't help glancing to his right front.

Wasn't his top student always interested in Feng Yunhe from the neighboring class? Even as a teacher, he had heard about this - it was occasionally mentioned in the teachers' small group chat.

He cared about all his students, especially his top student.

Other students also showed surprise - had Shi Li changed her preferences?

Rongrong noticed that even his tan skin couldn't hide his reddening ears.

She caught Qiao Jingjia's attention and gestured toward the front, and they exchanged knowing smiles.

The Class Teacher controlled his gaze, looking down at the students in the front two rows as he answered Shi Li's question, "Shi Li and Rongrong received first prize at the provincial level, and Fu Huixing also did remarkably well, earning second prize at the provincial level. All three students from our class have qualified for the provincial team and earned the opportunity to participate in the winter camp finals during the winter break."

Aliali: 673eba99c4f3f33ac4ee9836Fu Huixing's ranking was indeed unexpected for Shi Li. She raised her eyebrows at him, "Impressive."

The students sitting behind them exchanged glances, making faces at each other. Sure enough, when their eyes met, the blush that hadn't fully faded returned.

After class, Shi Li turned around, "Rongrong, what was the name of that student you met at the exam site last time?"

Though Rongrong didn't understand her intention, she still provided the name.

Shi Li left the classroom while her groupmates watched in confusion, returning five minutes later with an excited expression.

"I asked the Class Teacher - that classmate of yours did pretty well, actually got third prize at the provincial level."

Rongrong nodded, "His grades were originally decent, so it's not surprising."

Shi Li giggled, "I'm planning to write him a thank-you letter, expressing our gratitude for his encouragement before the exam, which helped us achieve such good results."

She hadn't forgotten how that jerk had mocked Rongrong before the exam, accusing her of cheating and calling all their school's students worthless.

Rongrong remained silent: Your thank-you letter will probably give him high blood pressure.
