Chapter 100: Nothing to Do in the World (Part II)

After the lecture on "Business Statistics I" ended, the lecture on "Creative Thinking" still started for two hours, and Xu Jingjia, Zita, Fion, Mia and Nina made full use of this gap to discuss the work of the three different group reports in the school cafeteria in an orderly manner.

As always, the five chose the table against the glass wall and sat down.

Zita opens a new document in her laptop and writes down what was discussed. There is no doubt that Zita is caring, and people always think of everything before they think about it.

The first group report of "Applied Computing" was to create a simple online shopping website, which was relatively heavy compared to the group report of "Creative Thinking" and English classes, and naturally became the focus of attention.

This time, the group report only touched on the front-end web page layout design, and did not cover the back-end web page data recording and transmission database, and the HTML programming language required has been explained in detail in the class, so it is actually not very difficult, at best it is just a small homework for the students to try.

However, in Zita's eyes, she believes that the easier and more standardized the report, the harder it is to achieve excellent results. Because the finished product is similar in each group, it is even more difficult to impress the instructor.

So, at the beginning of the discussion, Zita asked, "Have any of you ever had a foundation in programming?" Or, how about writing web pages?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Mia, Nina, and Fion all smiled and shook their heads. The smile on Zita's face faded slightly, and when Xu Jingjia saw this, she replied, "Actually, during the college entrance examination, I studied computer science and completed similar reports, but my technical level is just like that."

After hearing this, Zita turned her head sideways and smiled sweetly at Xu Jingjia, and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm still worried about you, all of you are inexperienced...... So, E, we're counting on you for this group report!" Because Xu Jingjia's English name Evelyn is too long, her classmates are gradually used to calling Xu Jingjia Ah E.

Xu Jingjia said this just to relieve Zita's heart, but she didn't expect Zita to hand over such a heavy responsibility to herself all of a sudden, so she said, "The ones I understand are actually the ones in class, and you shouldn't expect too much......

Zita interrupted Xu Jingjia with a smile and said, "No matter what, having experience is always better than those of us who have no experience......

Having said that, the work reported by the group did not weigh on Xu Jingjia's head alone, and the work was very evenly distributed. When the discussion was over, everyone gave their USB fingers (USB sticks) to Zita, who backed up the records to their fingers.

At this point, Vanessa, Cliff, Alex, Jay, George, and James sat down at two empty tables connected to them. Except for Vanessa, the rest of the people didn't know where they had gone after putting down their bags. I heard Vanessa ask, "Are you talking about the group report?" Have you decided on a theme for the page?"

Vanessa's height is slightly taller than Xu Jingjia, she looks delicate, and her figure is just the right amount of plumpness.

Vanessa's cheerful voice shattered the solemnity of the report, and Nina smiled back, "It's just decided. We want to make a theme for selling eco-friendly recycled products, and for the time being, we want to make a cartoonish and cute website."

While Zita was dealing with the backup, everyone began to order food at the ordering counter.

Xu Jingjia wanted to bring her side shoulder bag, but Mia said, "Ah E, your bag is so heavy, why don't you put it here?" With Zita watching for us, you don't have to worry, right?"

The rest of the people who ordered the food put their bags on their seats, so that if Xu Jingjia continued to insist, it would be as if she couldn't trust Zita.

When Xu Jingjia returned to her seat with the meal, she saw Fion and Zita sharing a company sandwich.

Xu Jingjia saw that her finger was still in Zita's laptop, and that Mia and Nina's fingers had been returned.

The contents of the diary stored in his finger and the pre-written picture book script passed through Xu Jingjia's mind. Xu Jingjia warned herself in her heart that she should not be so suspicious, and thought that those files had passwords, so there should be no problem, but she still couldn't help but ask Zita, "I should have run out of fingers, right?"

Zita replied gently, "No, it's just a little bit. Just wait a little longer."

Zita's sweet smile, Zita's sincere eyes, and Zita's gentle voice seemed to soothe Xu Jingjia's apprehension, making Xu Jingjia's doubts gradually subside.

Xu Jingjia looked at Mia and Vanessa, who were praying silently before the meal, and waited for them to finish their silent prayers, and then asked, "Are you also Christians? Me too." Xu Jingjia's voice was a little inexplicably excited, as if she had found an organization.

Mia and Vanessa looked at Xu Jingjia in amazement, and Fion smiled and asked, "Are you also the Christ?" Why have we never seen you pray before a meal?"

"I have! But I don't see that you have any faith, and I don't know what you think, so I didn't say it." Xu Jingjia replied with a smile, the happiness of finding fellow travelers made Xu Jingjia ignore the details of the problem, and completely ignored whether his statement would be a problem in the eyes of others.

"Really?" Zita looked at Xu Jingjia with crooked eyebrows and asked with a smile, "So, where did you return to the church?" Have you been baptized?"

Xu Jingjia then told the truth, saying, "At my alma mater! I have a church in my middle school. But I haven't been baptized yet."

Vanessa listens and asks, "How long have you been in the church?" At the same time, Vanessa puts a small piece of chopped chicken chop into her mouth.

"I have been participating in gatherings since Form 3." Xu Jingjia replied.

Vanessa listened to Xu Jingjia's statement and couldn't help but wonder, "Since you have believed for so long, why haven't you been baptized?"

"The preacher of our church said that baptism is just a ceremony, and you can ...... as long as you make up your mind," Xu Jingjia said at the end, and couldn't help but hesitate. As sluggish as she was, she began to sense that others were suspicious of her words.

At this time, I suddenly heard Fion ask, "So the mid-term examination that P mentioned just now is next week?" I saw that she was holding a sandwich in one hand and Zita's laptop in the other, as if she was checking some information. The P boy mentioned in Fion's words is the name given to the statistics tutor by the students.

Mia paused to put the pork chop in her mouth and replied, "yes! Otherwise, why would he have been reviewing with us just now?" Speaking of this, Mia changed his tone and said, "It's really hard to talk about the content of probability this time."

"Yes! I think so too!" Vanessa chimed in. "Seriously, I didn't have much confidence in this exam."

Seeing that Nina had been silently eating the sandwich without speaking, Zita quipped and said, "Nina, I don't think you're worried at all."

Listening to the topic far away from him, Xu Jingjia took this opportunity to pray silently.

Time flies, the nervous mid-term exam comes and goes, and in a blink of an eye, it comes the day of distributing the test papers. Even though she was as calm and composed as Zita, Xu Jingjia noticed that her fists tightened and loosened before receiving the test paper. Vanessa had lowered her head and stopped talking, with no smile on her face.

Xu Jingjia, who noticed these details, seemed to be a little nervous from them, and unexpectedly looked at Nina, who had a light face, and smiled bitterly.

Nina smiled at Xu Jingjia like a breezy moon, and in an instant, it seemed to drive away the low pressure emanating from Zita and Vanessa.

Fion saw the interaction between the two, and asked resentfully, "Why aren't you two nervous at all?"

These words caused Zita, Mia, and Vanessa to look at each other resentfully, and Xu Jingjia had to smile awkwardly, because Xu Jingjia has always been lenient about grades.

As the professor clicked his name, the students who had been called stepped forward to sign the test papers, and while walking back to their seats, they looked through the answer books to check the missing parts.

Zita got the exam paper first, and Vanessa followed, Vanessa looked like she wanted to cry after getting the exam paper, Zita put one hand on Vanessa's shoulder and patted her gently. While Zita comforts Vanessa, she can tell that her own mood is not much better.

Seeing them like this, Xu Jingjia hurriedly turned the exam paper on the table after receiving it and knowing her score. Xu Jingjia has never known how to deal with such a situation.

Not long after, Nina also took the exam paper and walked back, confirmed each other's eyes with Xu Jingjia, and knew that the results of both parties were okay, so they did not communicate again. Xu Jingjia felt that Zita and Vanessa's emotions were gradually recovering, and she thought that as long as P boy collected the exam papers, everything would be fine.

At this time, Fion took advantage of Xu Jingjia's unpreparedness, snatched Xu Jingjia's exam papers, and said lightly after reading it: "Ah E, you did really well in the exam!" Ninety-one points!"

Nina's smile stiffened slightly when she saw Fion's move, and as Fion turned to her, she couldn't help but deepen her smile a little and said, "This time, I didn't do as well as Ah E, I only had eighty-nine."

With that, Nina turned her exam papers to Fion to prove that she wasn't lying.

After Fion's trouble, Xu Jingjia felt like a thorn in her back, and there were many pairs of eyes around her, both known and unrecognized, all looking at her exam paper with inquiring eyes. Xu Jingjia could feel that the atmosphere that permeated Zita and Vanessa instantly changed back to its original appearance.

Xu Jingjia rarely surpassed them in grades and performance in other subjects, and I don't know why, Xu Jingjia was not happy about her super-level performance this time.
