Chapter 35: The Battle for Scholarships
Chapter 35: The Battle of the Scholarship
The weather was surprisingly good on the first day of school, the blue sky was as blue as a wash, and a round of scorching sun hung in the air, shining on the campus exceptionally warm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOccasionally, the spring breeze blows, and every teenager under the national flag smiles.
Under the national flag, it was a black oppression, and the principal's secretary and his party were speaking on the stage, but there was a commotion below, and everyone seemed to have endless new things to share.
Zeng Xunque stood among these people, his mood was the most apprehensive, even if it was a sure thing in Ling Kuihao's mouth, he was still a little uneasy, just waiting for the moment when the award was announced.
Quan Yunzhen saw his nervous look, so he patted him on the shoulder from behind and comforted him, "It's okay, relax a little, it's up to you." ”
With his voice echoing in his ears, Zeng Xunque finally felt a little relieved.
“…… After the efforts of the students last semester, we will award awards to some students with good grades, and the students who won the scholarship are. ”
The principal flipped through the roster in his hand, and also flipped through the erratic hearts of the students in the audience.
"Senior 1 (2) class xxx, senior 2 (1) class Han Zhijie, senior 3 xxx ......"
Instead of hearing his own name, it was the name of 'Han Zhijie' that replaced the place he thought would have been his name.
Zeng Xunque's heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, and all he could see was darkness. Sure enough, this time God did not favor him, and he would not have the so-called good luck at all. It turned out that all this was just his own wishful thinking, and he believed what others said, ignoring his own strength at all. He should blame himself for not seeing himself clearly at all.
He was disappointed, a rout he had never felt before. He held back the tears in his eyes, endured the heartache, and the corners of his mouth bent up in an upward arc with all his might, and anyone looked so distressed.
"Zeng Xunque..."Quan Yunzhen's hand on his shoulder didn't dare to put it down, even if he stood behind him, he could feel his loss.
"Hmm." Zeng Xunque forced a smile, not wanting him to see his loss, but the more he smiled, the more Quan Yunzhen knew that he was more lost in his heart.
"Are you okay? How so..."
"It's okay! I'm good, I'm worse than others! ”
Zeng Xunque's words revealed sadness, this feeling deeply touched Quan Yunzhen, and he said that he would help Zeng Xunque find a wording. As a result, Ling Kuihao became the first person to be cannon fodder.
"Ling Kuihao!" Quan Yunzhen shouted behind him, and walked straight to Ling Kuihao, who was also puzzled.
"Didn't you say that Zeng Xunque was the first? Why has it become Han Zhijie again, are you deliberately looking for him to be happy? You make it clear to me! ”
"I didn't, I really didn't mean to lie to him. Do you think I'm that kind of person? Ling Kuihao also looked aggrieved.
"Then why is this happening? Didn't you say you saw it with your own eyes? ”
"Yes! I really saw with my own eyes that the report card of the homeroom teacher was the first place in Zeng Xunque! I don't know how it got to be like this again. ”
"Are you sure you can see clearly?"
"I'm sure, it's true, absolutely not mistaken. Although the teacher deliberately hid it later, I had read it all before that. Ling Kuihao swore by it, because he had indeed seen it with his own eyes, although he had only seen it inadvertently, but he would not be mistaken.
"Then I'll trust you one more time." After Quan Yunzhen finished speaking, he walked out of the crowd with a righteous face, and shouted at the award ceremony held on the stage:
"Wait!"
As soon as he finished shouting, all Qi Shushu's eyes looked at him, whether on or off the stage, everyone stared at him, seeing what he was going to do in the next second.
Quan Yunzhen didn't seem to be afraid at all, and walked straight to the stage, without glancing at either side.
"Who are you, this student? What's the matter with you?" The principal asked from the stage.
"I'm Quan Yunzhen in the second and third classes of high school, I want to ask the principal, is Han Zhijie really the first place? Please also present your transcripts. ”
The people below were in an uproar, chattering and discussing like a pot.
The headmaster scoffed at this, and all the cold light in his eyes was for Quan Yunzhen. He seemed to have the winning hand, and unhurriedly pulled out the transcript from the folder.
"This is the report card, which clearly registers that Han Zhijie is the first place. There is also the autograph of the supervising teacher, and the authenticity is 100% reliable. ”
Quan Yunzhen didn't listen to him much, but jumped onto the national flag stand, took the report card in the principal's hand, and looked at it carefully.
He only glanced at it, and then caught a glimpse of Zeng Xunque's name, and it was in second place, behind the first place Han Zhijie by ten points.
He thought he was wrong, and he looked at it over and over again, more carefully than again. But the handwriting on it is like this, and it doesn't change in the slightest because of what he thinks.
"There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Quan Yunzhen glanced at the principal, and then at the single look of the grades, and he suddenly lowered his head and handed over the report card.
"First of all, I admire this classmate! It's nice to be brave enough to question it. However, students still have to believe in the teacher, the teacher is fair, will not favor any student, the teacher only values strength. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roaring applause from below. It's just that in Quan Yunzhen's eyes, he feels that it is extremely fake.
"As for this classmate? I think he may have not done well in the exam, so he became suspicious of other people's grades. Nine times out of ten, jealousy will happen to us, and everyone should have a normal attitude to look at it. ”
There was thunderous applause below, which made Quan Yunzhen, who was standing on the stage, feel more and more embarrassed and embarrassed. He always felt that the words said by the principal were aimed at him alone, and he invisibly abused him several times. He was so angry that he clenched his fist in the palm of his hand.
"Am I right? This classmate. ”
The principal's triumphant appearance made Quan Yunzhen look very uncomfortable.
He nodded helplessly, and saw the contemptuous look in the eyes of the principal and the guy named Han Zhijie, as if to say: Even if you want to fight with me, you don't pee to take care of your own virtue, it's really self-defeating.
Quan Yunzhen secretly gritted his teeth, turned his head and walked towards the stage step by step, facing the eyes of countless people, he walked down step by step like walking on thin ice.
Walking through the crowd, he saw countless people looking at him with strange eyes, talking about him, and saying some ugly things.
But for all this, he chose to turn a blind eye, he just wanted to find a place to settle down, he felt so tired now, as if he had been hit by a critical blow.
I don't know when, Ling Kuihao had already stepped forward to support him, and said guiltily, "Quan Yunzhen, I'm sorry." I don't know how things came this way, it's all my fault. ”
After being silent for a long time, Quan Yunzhen reluctantly laughed, "It's okay, I don't blame you, blame me for being too impulsive." ”
"Kwon Yun Zhen... Scold me! It's all my fault, it's me who made you ugly in public, you beat me and scold me, if it makes you feel better, I don't blame you. ”
"It's not me who you should really apologize for, it's Zeng Xunque, how much hope you gave him, and then pushed him into the abyss of disappointment."
Ling Kuihao lowered his head as if he had lost his spirit, and he couldn't say a word in shame. He never imagined that what he had seen with his own eyes would change. He began to doubt his eyes.
"I still want to ask you, are you really sure you saw it?"
Ling Kuihao raised his head again and looked into his eyes, his eyes sincere. "I'm really sure. But... Now, I don't know. ”
Quan Yunzhen really believed that Ling Kuihao would not be such a person, he thought about all this and felt very suspicious, the atmosphere on the stage just now, the eyes of the principal and Han Zhijie were clearly triumphant after being a thief.
"There must be something greasy in this!" Quan Yunzhen said very firmly, which surprised Ling Kuihao.
"What do you mean? Could it be that ... They tampered with the points... Hmm..."
Quan Yunzhen covered his mouth in time and said in his ear, "Don't talk nonsense until there is no evidence for this kind of thing, be careful of getting into trouble." ”
"I see, I know." Ling Kuihao seemed to have suddenly discovered the 'New World', and cautiously leaned into his ear and said:
"I heard others say that Han Zhijie is the nephew of Principal Han. So Principal Han tampered with the scores to let his nephew win the award, so wouldn't it all be smooth? ”
"Is everything you say true? Is it reliable? Quan Yunzhen seemed to grasp a life-saving straw.
"Really, really. I know a guy in Han Zhijie's class, and the fact that Han Zhijie is Principal Han's nephew has already caused a stir in their class, and it definitely can't be faked. ”
Quan Yunzhen was silent for a moment and thought about it, and suddenly found that he seemed to have found a breakthrough.
"Mouse, let me ask you again, where is the transcript you saw earlier? Can you remember? ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the head of grade seems to have pressed him under his book. Although he didn't try to hide it, I could see it clearly. Now that I think about it, it's clear that there are ghosts. Why else would he want to hide? ”
"Hmm. You think the same as me, this director must not have had time to deal with this real report card, so he will be a thief. So, we have to get this all-important report card first. ”
"But how do we get it? Do you want the teacher to give it to us? ”
"You are stupid, will the teacher be stupid enough to give us? We have to rely on our own means to get it. ”
Ling Kuihao touched the root of his ear, thought about it, guessed and said, "Are you going to steal it?" ”
"It's not me, it's us. And it's not about stealing, it's just about looking for evidence. ”
"It's... Not quite right? Ling Kuihao began to prepare to retreat.
"Don't tell me, you don't help me. You have to think that because it was because of you, Zeng Xunque went from expectation to disappointment. You are responsible for him. ”
"I..." Ling Kuihao was like a dumb person who had eaten Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say the bitterness in his heart.
In the process of talking between the two of them, Zeng Xunque walked over, and the sense of loss on his face could not be hidden, but he was still buried by the smile he tried his best to cry out.
The first time he saw him, Ling Kuihao felt guilty from the bottom of his heart. "I'm sorry, Zeng Xunque, it's all my fault. I really didn't mean to, I didn't expect things to be like this, I saw it clearly that it was yours at the time..."
"It's okay, I don't blame you. It's that I'm not as good as others, it's okay, it's just the first place, next time I'll just continue to work hard. ”
He said it very calmly, but the mood hidden behind it was really distressing.
Quan Yunzhen began to try to comfort him on the side, "Zeng Xunque, this award should be yours, I will help you ......"
"Enough. Say no more. Zeng Xunque interrupted him, with a hint of anger in his words.
"Zeng Xunque ......"
"I think we're going to have to talk, you and I'll come over for a while."
Quan Yunzhen can't guess his thoughts, is he disappointed? Or is it annoyed by his sensationalism just now?
He didn't know, so he could only follow him silently.
