After Becoming the Abused Heroine in a Campus Story - Chapter 16: How Could She Score 150?

Chapter 16: How Could She Score 150?

Teacher Zhang was actually puzzled by Zhou Yining’s sudden rise in grades. But she wasn’t someone who liked to accuse others unfairly. Since Zhou Yining achieved such results, she must know the material. Asking her to explain the problems would help dispel the class’s doubts about her scores.

Zhou Yining didn’t shy away. She took the test paper and walked to the podium.

Teacher Zhang looked at her with amusement. “You’re quite eager. Alright, today I’ll be a student for once.”

Saying this, Teacher Zhang took her test paper and went to Zhou Yining’s seat. She sat down, startling Xu Yueming, who scratched his head nervously.

Zhou Yining began explaining the multiple-choice questions. Her reasoning was clear. She explained why the other options were incorrect and reviewed the knowledge points each question tested.

The students in Class 19 initially watched Zhou Yining with a mindset of enjoying a show. But they soon listened attentively. They found her explanations clear, some even more detailed than the teacher’s.

Many students’ eyes lit up as they listened. Even Teacher Zhang looked pleased. Their ordinary Class 19 had truly produced a dark horse.

When the bell rang for the end of class, the students still wanted more.

Zhou Yining didn’t drag on like some teachers. She stopped explaining. “Alright, class is over. Take a break.”

“Hey, wait, finish this question. We’re just getting into it.”

“Yeah, Zhou Yining, what was that third method you mentioned? Explain it again.”

“Don’t call her Zhou Yining, call her Sister Zhou. Sister Zhou, keep going.”

“Yeah, Sister Zhou.”

Zhou Yining smiled at everyone. “We’ll talk another time. I’m going to get water.”

She casually tossed the chalk into the chalk box and walked to her seat.

Teacher Zhang looked at Zhou Yining with satisfaction. “Keep working hard. With one year left, maybe our Class 19 will produce a city-wide math top scorer for the college entrance exam.”

“Thank you, teacher. I’ll work hard.” Zhou Yining acted like a good student and smiled at Teacher Zhang.

After talking with Teacher Zhang, Zhou Yining took her water bottle and left the classroom.

She went straight to the water room. Several people were queuing for water. When they saw Zhou Yining, the group, who had been chatting, fell silent. News of Zhou Yining’s perfect math score had spread through the grade, and students had mixed opinions about it.

Zhou Yining didn’t care much. She filled her bottle and left. The group behind her started whispering again.

“Her, scoring 150 in math? I don’t believe it.”

“Yeah, Zhang Ye only got 143 this time. How could she score 150?”

“Hey, I heard her English teacher said she cheated on a classroom test. Zhou Yining’s got a record. Maybe she cheated for this perfect score too.”

“I think so too. She’s so gross, always cheating. And she dares to have a crush on Zhang Ye?”

Zhou Yining didn’t care about their remarks. These people judged others with their own petty mindset. They were just lowly people who didn’t want to see others succeed.

When she returned to class, Yu Yang approached her, rubbing her hands and holding a math test paper.

“Um, Sister Zhou, can you explain this question? I thought about it forever and still don’t get it.” Yu Yang smiled at Zhou Yining sheepishly.

Zhou Yining thought Yu Yang was alright. Yesterday, when the English teacher was acting crazy, Yu Yang had warned her. So explaining a question wasn’t an issue.

But Zhou Yining wasn’t going to do it for free. Explaining took time. She looked at Yu Yang and said, “Got any snacks? One snack for one question.”

“No problem, plenty of snacks!” Yu Yang said, jogging back to her seat. She grabbed a yogurt and a big bag of chips from her bag and hurried back to Zhou Yining.

“Yogurt and chips okay?”

Zhou Yining smiled at her. “No problem. Which question? Show me.”

“This one, this one.” Yu Yang quickly pointed it out.

“This question tests this formula. Look at what I wrote…” Zhou Yining explained fluently. By the time class was about to start, she had nearly finished explaining the question.

Jiang Hao, the math class representative, saw Yu Yang asking Zhou Yining for help. He was jealous. But he had mocked Zhou Yining over the confession wall issue before, and he worried she wouldn’t help him.

Jiang Hao regretted it now. If he’d known Zhou Yining was this good at math, he wouldn’t have been so mouthy. He only scored 132 this time, a failure for him. He was weak in English and Chinese, relying on math to boost his grades. But this time, he bombed. Now he felt too embarrassed to ask for help.
