Performance Art? / Should We Let the Top Students Save Face?

If the opportunity arises in the future, why not head to the Central Film City...?

Around 9 p. m.

Ling Mengxue finally ended this damned "working" journey.

Of course, this was just free work; it was more like a group of people having fun, joking around, and exchanging ideas. Nothing serious happened.

When the time came, she took off her white silk maid outfit, changed back into her school uniform, said goodbye, and couldn't wait to go back to sleep.

Those women are still as terrifying as ever; they always seem to be teasing her, whether they have something to do or not.

Ling Mengxue felt that her image in Xi Yan and Su Xiaoxiao's eyes had collapsed!

Fortunately, that wasn't the case, because the two girls were also teasing her!

As night deepened, Ling Xiaoyu did not choose to go back with them. Instead, she helped them hail a taxi and sent them off directly.

According to her own wishes, she wants to stay and continue working here, and will transfer directly to the Magic Association tomorrow, so she probably won't be home for a while.

Ling Mengxue didn't seem to mind anything about it; she was just pretty busy, right? Everyone around her was incredibly busy anyway!

After returning home, nothing was said that night...

The next morning, Ling Mengxue hurriedly prepared breakfast for them. Since Luo Xiyan and Su Xiaoxiao had been transferred to the Linzhuo Magic Association, they would definitely have to go and help out.

So after making all the necessary arrangements, she set off for school alone.

As soon as she arrived in the classroom and more and more people arrived, Liu Yinxuan walked up to the podium with a test paper in her hand.

"Attention everyone, the results of the opening exams are out. I posted them in the class group. You can go in and check them first. Also, those of you who didn't do well on the exams, please pay attention here: I bought some medicine specifically for sprains and bruises. You can come up and pick it up if you need it."

After Liu Yinxuan finished speaking, the whole class immediately erupted in excitement, especially the few underachievers, whose gazes towards her became increasingly intense.

"Class monitor, how do you understand me so well! Do you like me?!"

"Is our class monitor really that kind to us? He even paid for our medical expenses in advance. Do you need to spend any money?"

"Stop talking, our class monitor is forever a god! Yeah, yeah!"

Several boys led the cheers, which rose and fell in waves, with occasional bursts of celebration.

At this moment, a beautiful figure slowly stood up from the last table in the first row and walked straight to the podium.

When Liu Yinxuan saw who it was, she was momentarily confused as to what had happened.

"Class monitor, could you give me some ointment?"

"Xiaoling? Aren't your grades pretty good? Did you get hurt somewhere?"

Liu Yinxuan said somewhat uncertainly.

She had just seen Tang Ling's grades while organizing the report cards: top 50 in the grade and top 5 in the class. This was a significant improvement over the last time, and besides, didn't she still have magic?

These are the reasons why she had doubts.

Tang Ling stared at her toes somewhat awkwardly, completely unlike her usual carefree self. After a long pause, she gently leaned against them.

"Class monitor, actually it wasn't me who wanted it. Xiaohua was too embarrassed to come up and take it, so she asked me for help. She said that if she held it in her hand, it wouldn't hurt when she got hit..."

Tang lowered her voice and said, then carefully pointed in the direction of Tang Xiaohua's seat.

Liu Yinxuan for a moment, and only looked over after hearing this. Sure enough, as soon as the two made eye contact, Tang Xiaohua blushed and quickly covered her face with her book.

Liu Yinxuan didn't think this was anything to be ashamed of, right?

Even though she thought about it that way, after a brief moment of thought, she finally had a look of realization.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Performance Art?

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I'm sure you all already know that the exam results are out, right? The exam papers were completed last night by several of us teachers working overtime, and the sorting was finished very quickly."

The homeroom teacher, Liu Yan, had a serious expression on her face as soon as she stood on the podium.

She pushed up her lace-rimmed glasses, her piercing gaze sweeping across the room with a sharp intensity that struck straight to the heart, exuding a mature charm that seemed to impress everyone.

"Our class did quite well this time, ranking third among the eight classes in the grade. But don't get too cocky. I will tell the parents of those who didn't do well on the exam at the parent-teacher meeting that they will be dealt with seriously."

Our class's improved grades are partly due to your own hard work, but of course, Mengxue's contribution is also significant. She ranked in the top five in the grade, raising the class average by herself, and we commend her for that!

As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, a round of applause erupted in the classroom.

And now, the students looked at Ling Mengxue with even more admiration.

Unexpectedly, the goddess is not only beautiful and has a lovely voice, but she is also a top student, managing to get into the top five in her grade after transferring schools.

Dragon Soaring High School is not like a regular high school; the competition is extremely fierce. The top ten students can represent the school in various competitions, and their achievements are far more prestigious than those of the top ten students in other schools.

Liu Yinxuan was selected by her music teacher to represent the school in the city center violin competition because of her outstanding musical talent. She was also able to use the school's music room for free to learn more instruments.

Of course, whether the homeroom teacher did it intentionally or unintentionally, she didn't reveal the reason why Ling Feng transferred schools, thus eliminating a "burden."

Ling Feng's grades are below average, so the impact won't be huge, but it will still have some effect. Sometimes, even a difference of a fraction of a point can affect the class's ranking in the entire grade.

"Teacher, I was only forty points short of passing this time. I promise I'll work harder next time. Could you please not criticize me at the parent-teacher conference? My dad will kill me if he finds out, otherwise you'll lose a well-behaved and adorable student!"

A boy sitting in the back row, who seemed a bit bolder, raised his right hand and said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan's lips twitched, and she actually laughed.

However, everyone knew that this was merely the calm before the storm.

Therefore, everyone now looks at this male student as if he's an idiot.

Sure enough, the next moment, Liu Yan's smile gradually turned cold, and she pointed to the door and shouted angrily, "Go outside and stand there. Don't come in for the next class either; just listen to the lesson through the window!"

Upon hearing this, the boy picked up his book and walked out of the classroom with a dejected look on his face, clearly feeling discouraged.

However, many students couldn't help but gloat. After all, at this critical juncture, if someone still dares to act recklessly, then they really have no one to blame but themselves.

But what no one noticed was that when the boy turned his back to everyone, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, and he slowly pulled a novel out of his coat.

He had a smug look on his face, which made him look really irritating.

Upon closer inspection, the novel's cover prominently displays the eye-catching headline. "<I Can Become Strong by Doing Multiple-Choice Questions!!>" Author: Li Tianming (Group Member)

The rest of the time was Liu Yan arranging the next steps and courses.

Just then, a stern shout suddenly came from outside the corridor.

Although I don't know what happened, wasn't that the boy Liu Yan just kicked out?

Did he get arrested again for doing something bad?

The students were filled with suspicion and sighs.

"That guy's going to have some fun. Knowing Director Liu's character, he definitely won't get any good juice!"

"Hmm, I reckon he'll be in big trouble at the parent-teacher conference. I'll sympathize with him for three seconds, then mourn for him for two seconds. As for the banquet, I'll sit at the little girl's table! I prefer to be a kept man!"

"Hey~ Director Liu is not someone to mess with. If he catches you, you're done for. He's over forty and still single. I heard that not long ago a girl accidentally bumped into him and talked back in public. Guess what happened the next day?"

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly! What are you dawdling for?"

I don't know either~

"Are you fucking kidding me? Don't you even realize the problem you've raised?! I'm speechless!"

"Seriously, why does every school have a bald-headed Director Liu these days?"

That's irrelevant!

"Release your internal energy!"

"..."

After everyone was called away, the classroom finally quieted down.

After that incident, everyone noticed that Liu Yan's face was terribly gloomy, and they couldn't help but feel a chill.

The homeroom teacher coughed lightly, and then focused on the lesson without being distracted by the student.

She didn't announce until the end of the first get out of class, "Everyone, please be quiet. The parent-teacher meeting will mainly cover the topics I discussed with you before class. Boarding students do not need to attend evening self-study."

There's another thing everyone should know: our school's annual school festival is about to begin. Please assign tasks as you see fit, and class leaders should organize what programs to perform. Remember to report back later.

After saying that, Liu Yan looked at the last row of the first group and said, "Mengxue, come with me to the desk and lie down."

Ling Mengxue was surprised to be called out so suddenly, and felt inexplicably flustered.

'Could it be that they were caught cheating on the exam?'

'No, I answered all the questions honestly and fairly based on my own abilities; there's absolutely no way that could be the reason.'

'Maybe it's because the score was too high and they questioned it? Sure enough? Are they going to show off by taking another exam?'

Ling Mengxue shook her head helplessly, sighed inwardly, and got up to follow.

Even a second after he left, many students had already started discussing it.

"Why was our goddess called away by the homeroom teacher?"

"I don't know? Could it be cheating on the exam?"

"Don't talk nonsense. My goddess wouldn't be that kind of person. Maybe there's something else going on," a boy with Ling Mengxue's signature on his shirt retorted.

"But this year's school festival has so many more goddesses in our class, looks like we're in for a lot of fun! Last year we only got second place because of the program, we definitely have to turn things around and get first place this time!"

"You still have the nerve to bring that up? Last year's annual school anniversary competition, the one you voted for Snow White Battles Flame Dragon Armor, do you know how the other classes thought of us? I was dying of laughter!"

"Last time was an accident. After all, the theme of the previous year was performing comedy acts, so we didn't make a mistake in our choice."

"Are you kidding me? This is performance art!"

"..."

At the same time

Inside the fifth-floor office, a teacher and a student were facing off.

Liu Yan took a sip of tea, glanced at Ling Mengxue, feeling both gratified and helpless.

Since she didn't speak, Ling Mengxue naturally had no idea what had happened. She simply waited quietly for her "judgment," showing no sign of panic whatsoever.

Very calm~

[img=700,674]htt Chapter Ninety-Four: Giving Face to the Top Students?

Finally, Liu Yan couldn't hold back any longer and kindly advised, "Mengxue, you should know why I called you over, right?"

Upon hearing this earnest advice, Ling Mengxue was slightly taken aback, but then calmly shook her head.

She used to be a regular at this office, so how could she be unfamiliar with this feeling?

This familiar tone and familiar guidance, often ingenious and able to touch the hearts of students, could even offer advice and suggestions if Li Dabai were still alive and well, dead drunk.

If all attempts at persuasion fail and fail to move the student's stubborn and rebellious heart, the only recourse is to give them a stern reprimand, have a heart-to-heart talk with their parents, and let them go home and reflect on their actions.

When Liu Yan saw Ling Mengxue shake her head, she was about to explode, but when she saw that face, she swallowed all the words she had been holding back.

It wasn't that Ling Mengxue had done anything wrong; it was that she didn't understand the situation, which was why she felt sorry for her.

"Mengxue, did you miss any questions during the exam? You missed one question in each subject? And they were all multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions? You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
