Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Come to Our Class
Having settled the matter of skipping a grade, the teacher of Class 1 immediately approached Jiang Mianmian, the teacher said warmly and kindly, “Jiang Mianmian, I am the homeroom teacher of the second year’s Class 1. The teacher welcomes you to our class. Our students are all very united and loving, they will definitely like you a lot, just like family.”
“Jiang Mianmian, I am the homeroom teacher of Class 2, our classmates have long admired and looked up to you, the Little Genius. If you join our class, they will certainly be overjoyed.” The teacher of Class 2 followed closely, eagerly inviting her.
The teacher of Class 3 was not to be outdone, “Jiang Mianmian, come to our class. I am the homeroom teacher of the third class. I represent all our classmates in welcoming you. The classroom atmosphere in Class 3 is very good, you will definitely like it here.”
Having heard what these teachers had said, Jiang Mianmian, looking well-behaved, said, “Thank you for your kindness, teachers. I will follow the school’s arrangements.”
Jiang Mianmian spoke just right, offending no one, and also provided the teachers a way out.
“Yes, Jiang Mianmian is right. We should all follow the school’s arrangement,” Teacher Qiu also quickly said, helping to keep things friendly.
“Okay, Jiang Mianmian, the third class has already started, you should go back to class now.” Teacher Qiu waved to Jiang Mianmian, signaling her to leave.
“Yes, goodbye teachers,” Jiang Mianmian said, and then left the office.
When she walked out of the office, she could still hear the voices of the three sophomore class teachers arguing, each claiming their class was the best and most suitable for her.
By the time Jiang Mianmian returned to her class, the third period was almost over. The teaching teacher, knowing she had been doing tests in the office, did not ask her further, but simply signaled with an eye gesture for her to return to her seat.
Zhong Yuan curiously glanced at Jiang Mianmian, and since the class was still in session, he did not dare, under the teacher’s watchful eye, to whisper to Jiang Mianmian.
As soon as the class was over, Zhong Yuan eagerly asked, “Jiang Mianmian, where were you last period? Why did you come back so late?”
Throughout the year, Jiang Mianmian had come to understand a lot about the family situations of Zhong Yuan and Tian Wei.
She knew that Zhong Yuan’s aunt was Tian Wei’s aunt too, and since she was also a teacher at the school, even if she did not mention it herself, they would soon find out. So, she did not keep it secret.
“I went to see Teacher Qiu. I wanted to skip a grade, and I was taking a test in the office,” Jiang Mianmian explained quietly.
“You want to skip a grade? Have you finished all the courses of the eighth grade?” Zhong Yuan asked, a bit shocked.
Jiang Mianmian nodded, “Yeah, I finished the day before yesterday. Also, Zhong Yuan, Teacher Qiu said not to tell our classmates about this. Just you and Tian Wei need to know, don’t tell anyone else, okay?”
“Hmm, I won’t tell anyone else. Jiang Mianmian, congratulations! You will start the ninth grade at the beginning of the school year, but if you skip a grade, we can’t be in the same class anymore,” Zhong Yuan said, sounding a bit sad.
He still remembered that at the beginning of this term, he and Jiang Mianmian had been progressing at the same pace.
He hadn’t expected that in just one term, she had finished all of the eighth-grade curriculum, while he had only just finished last semester’s courses.
It seemed the gap between them was indeed not small!
Seeing this, Jiang Mianmian patted his shoulder with her fair, small hand, and comforted him in a hearty tone, “No worries, Zhong Yuan. Although we aren’t in the same class, we are still in the same school. You can come and hang out with me anytime.”
