Chapter 181 Advancement

Lin Miaomiao immediately squeezed in.

Then quickly scan the report card.

Ji Yuan was unsurprisingly in first place. She glanced at the first place and then looked directly up from the last place.

This time, Deng Xiaoqi came in last place. Although Lin Miaomiao knew that if she wasn't last, Deng Xiaoqi would most likely be last.

However, when she actually saw that Deng Xiaoqi had become the last place, her feelings were somewhat complicated.

Perhaps we feel like we're in the same boat.

Lin Miaomiao continued to look up and soon saw her name in the twenty-sixth position.

This surprised her so much that she jumped up and down twice on the spot.

Lin Miaomiao squeezed through the crowd and excitedly came to Ji Yuan: "Teacher Ji, Teacher Ji, I'm twenty-sixth! Twenty-sixth! I've moved up ten places!"

Ji Yuan smiled and nodded: "Not bad, but don't be too proud. The main reason you improved by ten places is because your last result was too bad."

Ji Yuan's words brought Lin Miaomiao, who was feeling a bit smug, back to reality.

However, she was still very happy.

"Hehe, at least this time I can finally give my mom a proper explanation."

"Oh, right, I have to go now. I don't know where Xiaoqi is. She might have already seen her grades. I need to go and comfort her."

Lin Miaomiao was about to go find Deng Xiaoqi when she said that.

Ji Yuan reached out and grabbed Lin Miaomiao's wrist. Lin Miaomiao looked at Ji Yuan in confusion.

Ji Yuan instructed, "When you go to see her, be careful not to say the wrong thing. Last time you were last, but this time you improved by ten places, and she became last. It's normal for her to be in a bad mood. Don't upset her."

"rest assured!"

Lin Miaomiao gave Ji Yuan a confident look.

"How could I not feel at ease... I just want to tell you one thing: don't keep mentioning her parents in front of her."

Ji Yuan whispered to her.

"why?"

Lin Miaomiao was completely bewildered.

"That's why I don't trust you. You have the nerve to say you're her best friend? Haven't you noticed that she comes from a single-parent family?"

Ji Yuan explained.

"What!?"

Lin Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise, immediately sat down, and asked incredulously, "No way?"

Have you met her father?

"I haven't met him... but that's normal, I haven't met Mouse's parents yet."

“When you talk to her, her expression often doesn’t seem very natural when the topic of her father comes up.”

"But... every time Xiaoqi has a holiday, he says his dad will come to pick him up..."

Lin Miaomiao finished speaking and then fell silent.

Why lie?

She could still figure that out; she probably didn't want people to know about her family situation, so she used lies to cover it up.

After figuring things out, Lin Miaomiao sat down and sighed.

He had no mind to think about comforting Deng Xiaoqi anymore.

Her feelings at that moment were hard to describe.

She didn't think Deng Xiaoqi was bad in any way just because Deng Xiaoqi came from a single-parent family and lied.

She just didn't know what to do next. What if Deng Xiaoqi lied again to cover up the fact that she didn't have a father?

Should we pretend we don't know and cooperate with the other party?

She knew exactly how to cooperate; she wasn't someone who could hide things or act well.

……

Not long after, the school bell rang, and Deng Xiaoqi returned to the classroom.

Jiang Tianhao was with her, and it seemed that he hadn't been in the classroom either; he was probably comforting her.

However, it's probably not very useful.

When Lin Miaomiao saw Deng Xiaoqi return, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Xiaoqi, are you alright?"

Deng Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I'm fine. My grades weren't good to begin with, so this is normal."

Anyway, my parents don't really care about me, so it won't matter if my grades are bad.

Lin Miaomiao nodded, unsure of what to say next.

She didn't know if Deng Xiaoqi was telling the truth, but she could sense that Deng Xiaoqi's statement that everything was fine was probably not true.

If there was nothing wrong, I wouldn't have missed you during the break.

Just as Lin Miaomiao had sensed.

Deng Xiaoqi was somewhat upset, perhaps because she had become the last in the rankings, or perhaps because Lin Miaomiao, who had originally been last, had suddenly risen to the twenties, which was hard for her to accept.

Last month she was the one comforting Lin Miaomiao, but this month it's her turn to be the one being comforted.

It would be abnormal if you didn't feel uncomfortable.

……

That day, after finishing a class, Lin Miaomiao immediately rushed to the phone booth and called Wang Shengnan.

I told Wang Shengnan the good news that she had improved her ranking by ten places in this monthly exam.

Wang Shengnan was indeed quite happy to hear this news.

However, I still subconsciously said, "If you can improve by ten places in the next monthly exam, I'll be so happy."

"Ms. Wang Shengnan, please don't have any wishful thinking. I wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing."

"Are you asking for a beating? Who was it that said last week during the holiday that they would improve by several places in one go, and by dozens of places in ten go?"

"Hello, hello, I can't hear you, Mom. I have class later, so I'll hang up now."

Lin Miaomiao quickly hung up the phone.

Then he ran back to the classroom.

Back in the classroom, she complained to Ji Yuan about what she had talked about on the phone with her mother.

"My mom actually took what I said last Friday seriously and said I'd move up ten places next time. If I really do move up ten places, I'll be ecstatic."

Lin Miaomiao said with a smile.

"If you can work a little harder, I'll come over to tutor you during evening study sessions when there are no weekly tests, and I'll also tutor you on weekends. Maybe there'll be some hope."

Ji Yuan looked at Lin Miaomiao and said.

Lin Miaomiao: "..."

"It's not necessary!"

Lin Miaomiao crossed her arms, making an "X" shape.

What a joke! She's already exhausted, and Ji Yuan still wants to take over her evening study sessions and weekends!

Don't you want to give it a try?

In Mr. Zhao's class just now, he really praised you a lot.

If you move up ten places on your first try, and then another ten places on your second try, you'll become a star in our class, and even our school.

Ji Yuan said enticingly.

Lin Miaomiao shook her head firmly: "I think it's better to proceed step by step!"

"That's such a pity, you missed a chance to become famous."

"Not at all! I didn't want this opportunity at all!"
