After Becoming the Abused Heroine in a Campus Story - Chapter 49: Final Grades

Chapter 49: Final Grades

Two days later, all the exam results came out, including the overall ranking for the entire grade. The school made a large horizontal list of the rankings and posted it on the big bulletin board under the teaching building for students to check easily.

A boy from the class came up to share the news, “Everyone, hurry to check the grades. The overall ranking is out. This time, Zhang Ye is still first, but he only scored two points higher than Zhong Yumeng.”

“Hey, how many points did Zhang Ye get this time?”

“705. I heard he only got 134 in math, and he lost some points in comprehensive liberal arts too.”

“Oh, okay, let’s go down and check.”

“By the way, who’s first in our class?”

“Don’t know. It’s too chaotic with names packed densely. You guys go find out yourselves.”

Yu Yang and a few girls prepared to go downstairs to check. She saw Zhou Yining didn’t move and asked, “Zhou Sis, want to go check together?”

Zhou Yining thought for a moment and nodded, “Sure, I’ll go check.”

Zhou Yining planned to take a picture of her total score and Xu Yueming’s total score, then wait to collect money.

After the group went downstairs, they saw the bulletin board surrounded by people. Only those with sharp eyes could see the rankings from the outer circle.

Zhou Yining wasn’t in a hurry and let the people in front look first. When it was finally their turn, Zhou Yining thought that since she intentionally controlled her English score, her grades shouldn’t be too high. She looked around the middle-upper ranks and found people there scored in the 500s. So, Zhou Yining started looking toward the front.

Yu Yang, with sharp eyes, found Zhou Yining’s name first, “Zhou Sis, I found you! You’re 18th in the grade with a total score of 682. I just checked, and you’re first in our class.”

Zhou Yining was surprised for a moment. She deliberately scored only 89 in English, and she still made it to the top 20 in the grade? If she had used her real ability, she would have crushed Zhang Ye.

Zhou Yining said, “Take a picture for me and send it. Everyone, help me find Xu Yueming’s score. I’ll go back and ask him for money later.”

“Got it!”

Several girls immediately started looking. However, Xu Yueming did poorly this time, ranking in the lower-middle of the grade with a total score of only 472. A girl took a picture of Xu Yueming’s score and sent it to Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining felt very satisfied. She also looked for Jiang Xianzhi’s score. Jiang Xianzhi scored 589 this time. Although it wasn’t over 600, the test was very difficult, so this score was already pretty good.

She also checked Tian Xue’s score. Tian Xue scored even lower than Xu Yueming, with 463 points, ranking in the lower part of the grade.

After checking the scores she cared about, Zhou Yining returned to class.

She saw Xu Yueming at his seat and rushed over, “Xu Yueming, how are you going to pay me the 500? Cash or transfer?”

Zhou Yining shoved the photo of the score rankings on her phone in Xu Yueming’s face. Xu Yueming trembled and asked, “How much did I score?”

“Over 400,” Zhou Yining said calmly.

Xu Yueming wanted to cry. He asked tentatively, “And you?”

“682.” Zhou Yining winked at him, then pulled up her WeChat payment code and showed it to him, “Just send it to me on WeChat. Come on.”

Xu Yueming was close to tears. He looked at Zhou Yining and muttered softly, “Are you even human? Fine, I’ll send it.”

Reluctantly, he transferred 500 yuan to Zhou Yining. Zhou Yining was in a great mood. After collecting the money, she sat lazily at her seat, waiting for study hall. She took out her phone, ready to chat with Jiang Xianzhi.

Zhou Yining: [Did you see the picture I sent? You did pretty well this time. (Rubs cat head jpg)]

Zhou Yining: [How much did you get in math? You passed this time, right? (Doggo hopeful jpg)]

Zhou Yining: [Where are you? Calling, calling?]

Jiang Xianzhi, along with Shi Yuanyuan and Si Yaqing, also went to check the scores. She didn’t expect Zhou Yining to do so well this time and felt happy for her.

She took out her phone and saw Zhou Yining’s messages. Jiang Xianzhi’s eyes lit up. She opened the chat and saw Zhou Yining asking about her math score.

Jiang Xianzhi pouted and muttered softly, “Only cares about grades, not about me.”

Though she complained, her fingers honestly typed a reply.

Jiang Xianzhi: [I got 96 in math. I passed. Is Teacher Zhou satisfied? (Cat starry eyes jpg)]

Zhou Yining saw the reply and smiled slightly.

Zhou Yining: [Awesome! (Pets cat jpg) Any reward you want? Teacher Zhou will buy it for you.]

Jiang Xianzhi saw this reply and couldn’t stop smiling. She lay on her desk, humming to herself for a bit before typing again.

Jiang Xianzhi: [Will you sleep with me this weekend? (Cat peeking jpg)]

Zhou Yining made a hissing sound, feeling something was off. The rich girl’s desired reward was for her to sleep over?

Zhou Yining admitted she didn’t understand the world of the wealthy, but since Jiang Xianzhi asked, she naturally agreed.

Zhou Yining: [Sure. (Hugs cat jpg)]

Jiang Xianzhi: [I knew Teacher Zhou was the best, hehe.]

Zhou Yining smiled slightly. Just sleeping together made her this happy?

The fourth class in the morning was Chen Yitong’s Chinese class. She had a big smile because her class, Class 19, usually had its top student rank in the 50s or 60s in the grade. This time, Zhou Yining got 18th, a dark horse. Plus, Zhou Yining was the top scorer in math, Chinese, and comprehensive liberal arts for the grade. The only flaw was that Zhou Yining failed English.

“Everyone probably saw the results. I want to especially praise our class’s Zhou Yining. In this final exam, she was first in the grade in math, Chinese, and comprehensive liberal arts. She brought honor to our class. The city rankings aren’t out yet, but they should be available before the holiday. The break is coming, but everyone needs to stay focused. Some students’ grades were truly dreadful…”

Zhou Yining felt great because of the homeroom teacher’s words. During the holiday, she would have enough time to make money.

After saying this, Chen Yitong added, “By the way, the parent-teacher meeting is set for tomorrow afternoon. Come to school as usual in the morning. Teachers will assign all the holiday homework. The meeting starts at 2 p.m. sharp. Make sure your parents take time off to attend.”

After Chen Yitong spoke, the class erupted in groans.

“Oh no, with these grades, my dad will kill me at the parent-teacher meeting!”

“Yeah, this holiday is ruined. I’m done for!”

“If my mom finds out I scored this low, she’ll sign me up for 180 summer classes.”

“Wahhh, we’re all doomed!”

Chen Yitong laughed at the students’ fake crying, “Serves you right. You don’t work hard usually and only cram at the last minute. You messed up this time, didn’t you? Let your parents see how much effort you put in this semester. Alright, let’s start class. The holiday starts tomorrow, so listen carefully.”

The closer the holiday got, the less focused the students were. After the parent-teacher meeting was mentioned, the class was filled with groans.

Zhou Yining didn’t care. For the parent-teacher meeting, she would inform Zhao Xiuna. Whether she went or not was up to her. Zhou Yining didn’t mind either way, since the homeroom teacher had already seen what kind of parents she had at the police station last time.

When Zhou Yining went home at noon, she heard Zhao Xiuna praising Zhou Jiaming as soon as she entered the house.

“Jiaming, you did well this time, ranking ninth in your class. What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you.”

“Anything’s fine. Mom, I did so well this time. Can you buy me those sneakers? Dad agreed too,” Zhou Jiaming said, acting cute.

“Alright, alright. When I have time tomorrow, I’ll buy them for you,” Zhao Xiuna said happily.

Zhou Yining looked at them and said, “Tomorrow afternoon at 2, our school is holding a parent-teacher meeting.”

“Tch, with your grades, you still have the nerve to ask Mom and Dad to attend your parent-teacher meeting? It’s embarrassing enough,” Zhou Jiaming mocked.

They were already on break. Yesterday, Zhou Yuanfei personally attended his parent-teacher meeting, and his teacher praised him for a long time, making Zhou Yuanfei thrilled.

“Jiaming, don’t talk about your sister like that,” Zhao Xiuna said, looking at Zhou Yining. “Yining, don’t worry. Mom will go to your meeting. Your dad is busy with work. He took leave yesterday for your brother’s meeting, so it’s hard for him to take leave again tomorrow.”

“Whatever. It’s up to you whether you go or not,” Zhou Yining said. If it were the original her, she might have cared, but she wasn’t the original her. She didn’t care at all.

“What are you acting tough for? Mom going to your parent-teacher meeting is already giving you face, and you’re still making a fuss. Look at the pathetic scores you get every time,” Zhou Jiaming continued sarcastically.

Zhou Yining glanced at him, “If you can’t talk properly, don’t talk. Why’s your mouth so dirty? It should be flushed in the toilet.”

“Mom! Look at her! She’s threatening me again,” Zhou Jiaming complained.

“Alright, alright, let’s eat. You two stop fighting,” Zhao Xiuna quickly mediated.

The first class in the afternoon was Teacher Cao’s English class. He entered Class 19 with a grim face. Seeing his bad mood, the students all stayed quiet.

Teacher Cao stared at Zhou Yining with a cold face but didn’t speak. Zhou Yining stared back, not backing down.

After a while, Teacher Cao gritted his teeth and said, “Zhou Yining, stand up.”

Zhou Yining stood up directly, waiting for his next words.

“Explain to me why you didn’t fill in the answer sheet at the back. And why did you turn in a blank English essay?” Teacher Cao’s face was red with anger, and he questioned Zhou Yining sternly.

Just earlier, the vice-principal in charge of academics had talked to him. Zhou Yining’s poor English performance wasn’t new, and from her test paper, it was clear she deliberately didn’t write.

Zhou Yining looked at Teacher Cao calmly, “I didn’t feel like filling it in, so I didn’t. I already did decently this time and didn’t turn in a blank paper.”

“You… Fine, real fine. You did this just to piss me off, to go against me, right? I’ve been teaching for decades and have never seen a student like you.”

“I’ve been in school for over ten years and have never seen a teacher like you. You brush off accusing others with one sentence and never think you’re wrong. I don’t like teachers without ethics,” Zhou Yining shot back, staring directly at Teacher Cao.
