Mengmeng guessed right; their class hadn’t performed well on the first mock exam.
The homeroom teacher slammed the stack of test papers onto the desk and looked at everyone with anger and disappointment in his eyes, "Do you all not want to go to college? Apart from Gu Zhihan, Jiang Yibai and a few others, the rest of your grades are a complete mess!"
"Class president, come and distribute the test papers and report cards." After calling Gu Zhihan’s name, the homeroom teacher continued, "All of you, open your eyes wide and take a good look at the time on the blackboard. We are now less than a month away from the college entrance examination!"
It seemed that the homeroom teacher had opened a floodgate of words and couldn’t stop talking once he had started.
Luo Mengmeng was preoccupied with her own grades and kept her eyes fixed on Gu Zhihan as he handed out the report cards.
But she never saw him distribute her test paper and report card.
When he came back, Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but ask eagerly, "Gu Zhihan, where’s my report card?"
Gu Zhihan, as if realizing something, subtly hid the report card behind his back. He then lifted his eyes to look at her, his gaze comforting, "There’s nothing worth seeing, maybe next time."
"Did I do very poorly?" Luo Mengmeng had noticed his actions and couldn’t help but frown and ask.
Gu Zhihan continued to console her.
"’Alright’ means how many points?" Luo Mengmeng was almost frantic, and she couldn’t help but reach out to snatch the report card he was hiding behind his back, "Give me my report card."
She must see how many points she really scored this time.
"There’s really no need to look..." Gu Zhihan said.
"Give it to me!" Luo Mengmeng’s voice was tinged with anger, her delicate face tightly drawn, as if she was about to explode if he didn’t hand over the report card to her soon.
Gu Zhihan reluctantly sighed and finally gave her the report card.
Luo Mengmeng took a glance and was instantly dumbfounded.
She hadn’t even reached the minimum threshold for a second-tier university!
And to think about getting into Capital University was just daydreaming, sheer fantasy!
Tears suddenly couldn’t be held back, and Luo Mengmeng began to sob quietly, her face down on the desk.
"It’s okay, this is just the first mock. There’s still a month to go. If we work hard, we can definitely do it," Gu Zhihan hastened to comfort her, gently patting her back with his large hand.
He knew she wouldn’t be able to hold back her tears after seeing the scores, which is why he hadn’t given them to her earlier.
"Mengmeng, the first mocks are generally difficult, even harder than the college entrance examination. Just because you didn’t do well this time doesn’t mean you’ll do poorly on the actual exam," Jiang Yibai saw her crying and quickly offered his gentle words of comfort.
Tong Mo also looked at her with concern, "Chun Meng, don’t be sad."
"Stop crying, it’s not a big deal to do poorly on a test," Lu Zichen tugged at her braid casually.
Suddenly, Gu Zhihan and Jiang Yibai glared at him in unison.
If glares could cause actual harm, at that moment Lu Zichen’s hand would have already shattered into several pieces.
"Why so fierce!" Lu Zichen mumbled weakly in protest before quickly letting go.
Now Luo Mengmeng was tired from the crying, and she lay on her desk with a face devoid of hope.
