Chapter 872: Chapter 512: High Price

During the evening study session.

The homeroom teacher of Class 1, Hu Hou, stopped at the door of Class 8, holding a plastic bag.

He didn’t rush into the classroom suddenly but stood at the door for a while, gathering himself for half a minute, and gradually attracted the sideways glances of many students.

Xin Youling, the class monitor of Class 8, stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Hu, do you need something?"

Hu Hou is the homeroom teacher of Experimental Class 1, and because of his outstanding teaching skills, he naturally has a halo around him, so most students in the same grade know him.

Hu Hou finally took a step forward and entered the classroom. He didn’t go to the podium but stood in the corridor, saying with a kind expression:

"Xue Yuantong, do you have a moment? I need to take some of your time."

As he spoke, he placed the plastic bag on the desk. Bai Yuxia, sitting in the front, glanced at it, noticed the bag wasn’t tied shut, and when half-opened, she was astonished to find many small snacks inside.

Nuts, beef jerky, chips, shrimp sticks, soft cookies — the variety was quite rich...

Bai Yuxia was baffled, "What’s going on? The homeroom teacher of Class 1 is giving out snacks?"

Moreover, it was the first time she had ever seen a teacher give snacks to a student.

Doing this, how could our homeroom teacher, Shan Qingrong, save face?

The saying goes, don’t hit the smiling face, and since Hu Hou is the homeroom teacher of Class 1, with a teacher’s identity, out of respect for the snacks, Xue Yuantong was very accommodating, even putting away her phone:

"Mr. Hu, please go ahead."

Hu Hou said, "Here’s the thing, our class is having an exchange meeting. As the top student, both in the grade and the whole city, I’d like to invite you to our class to say a few words and share your study experiences, in hopes of elevating the overall performance of our Fourth Middle School."

Xue Yuantong hadn’t answered yet when Chen Qian in the front row stopped writing, as he had recently discovered that despite his daily hard efforts, his progress was slowing down.

After breaking into the top ten of the grade, he was already a candidate for 985, but precisely because of this, Chen Qian found himself at a bottleneck, the bottleneck of getting into those two prestigious schools.

If he didn’t break through, Chen Qian had a premonition that his academic performance might just end there.

Looking at the snacks on her desk, Xue Yuantong was a bit tempted. Usually, she ate Jiang Ning’s snacks, but now, if she could earn snacks with her own ability, wouldn’t it assert her position in front of Jiang Ning?

"Alright, I’ll say a few words," Xue Yuantong agreed.

She had spoken in front of the entire school before, so she wasn’t particularly averse to it.

After hearing Xue Yuantong agree, Chen Qian shouted, "Mr. Hu, can I listen in?"

Hu Hou turned his head and saw it was Chen Qian. He was fully aware of the top ten students in the school, and Chen Qian was on his list. Hu Hou was quite astonished at how fast Chen Qian had progressed.

Hu Hou thought that if students from Class 8 participated, it might boost Xue Yuantong’s enthusiasm, so he agreed, "Sure, come along."

"What about us?" other students shouted.

"Everyone, come along!"

So, as Xue Yuantong set off, classmates started to move one after another, including Chen Qian, Song Sheng, Bai Yuxia, Yu Wen, Jiang Yanan, and a bunch of others. NovelFire

Wang Longlong saw Ma Shicheng still playing games and urged, "Brother Ma, Brother Ma?"

Hu Jun self-mockingly said, "Sigh, with our grades, let’s not join in the crowd."

He had an inexplicable mindset about the prestigious Experimental Class. Every time Hu Jun passed by Class 1, he never saw them play or get noisy; students in Class 1 were always quietly studying in the classroom.

Back then, Hu Jun stood in the corridor watching. Even though they were separated by only a wall, they seemed like two worlds.

After hearing Hu Jun’s words, Wang Longlong said, "Brother Jun, don’t you understand? Let me ask you, if you miss this opportunity, will you ever have a chance to step into Class 1 openly and honorably again?"

Hu Jun thought for a moment and realized he didn’t.

Wang Longlong continued, "In one’s life, many things can only be done once, so try not to miss them."

Ma Shicheng turned off the phone screen, "Well said, Longlong, let’s go visit the Holy Land."

Hu Jun watched the two of them walk away, with Cui Yu tapping his back slyly, "Brother Jun, come on, let’s go do something big."

Standing next to Cui Yu was the gentleman, serene and composed, Meng Gui.

But looking at their duo, Hu Jun always felt they wouldn’t accomplish anything reasonable.

Within two minutes, Class 8 had thirty or so fewer students. Liu Chuandao looked around, and the walls and bars of the prison disappeared.

The world is vast, let it roam free!

Only those trapped in a cage know how precious freedom is!

He took a deep breath, the scent of freedom was truly wonderful!

...

Experimental Class 1.

Homeroom teacher Hu Hou was the first to step into the classroom. He made a gesture:

"I’ve invited Xue Yuantong from Class 8 to share learning experiences with everyone, please welcome her."

Upon hearing this, some students in Class 1 looked excited, like Du Chuan, who had a stronger desire to improve his grades than anyone else!

Some felt indignant, as Wei Xiu Yuan whispered, "We’re the Experimental Class 1! Do we need an outsider to share experiences?"

It’s utterly embarrassing! NovelFire

"If it’s about sharing learning knowledge, only students from Yu Zhou Second Middle School’s Qingbei Class are qualified to share!" Wei Xiu Yuan said, noting that Yu Zhou Second Middle School is the top high school in Yuzhou City.

Dong Jiayi didn’t have much objection to this, she said, "But isn’t Xue Yuantong’s performance better than the Qingbei Class at Second Middle School?"

"Uh." Wei Xiu Yuan was taken aback, realizing it made sense?

Applause erupted gradually, turning into a continuous wave, showcasing their welcome for her.

Xue Yuantong stepped onto the podium of Class 1.

Afterward, Chen Qian, Yu Wen, Song Sheng, and the others all stood at the back row to listen to the lecture.

Cui Yu narrowed his eyes as he walked, sniffing the air.

"Brother Cui, what are you doing?" Hu Jun asked.

"The scent of books, can you smell it?" Cui Yu was enamored.
