Jian Yiling had a.s.sumed that she wouldn’t have gotten a lot of points from her essay. However, the teacher had given her twenty points for ‘hard work and a good attempt’.

Furthermore, she had a.s.sumed that she had answered all the reading comprehension questions correctly. However, she achieved zero marks in that section.

Hu Jiaojiao just happened to see Jian Yiling’s answers for reading comprehension.

The moment she saw Jian Yiling’s answers, her expression went stiff.

Question: In the second to last paragraph, why did the main protagonist’s eyes turn red?

Jian Yiling’s answer: When the blood vessels in the membrane surrounding the eyeball and sclera get irritated, they may become red. This sort of irritation/bleeding can cause the white parts surrounding the pupil to change in color.

Question: What do you think about the phrase: “The tips of his fingers became white as he grasped tightly onto his umbrella. Suddenly, he felt that autumn was nearing.”?

Jian Yiling’s answer: He has poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation will lead to insufficient blood flow to the extremities of one’s body. However, usually, this doesn’t require any special treatment. Remember to keep warm and avoid any strenuous exercise.

Hu Jiaojiao was so impressed and confused by Jian Yiling’s answers. She couldn’t help but stare at her paper.

Jian Yiling’s train of thoughts… How strange!

At that moment, a member of the student committee walked over. It was Liu Wen, she came over and said to Hu Jiaojiao, “It seems that you’re actually about to go home and collect rent.”

Out of nine subjects, Hu Jiaojiao had once again failed six.

Hu Jiaojiao took a deep breath before replying, “Sister Wen, please don’t say that. I’ll have to face the wrath of my mother when I get home… Ahhh… It’s all my fault. She’s going to be so mad…”

Liu Wen paused for a moment. She decided to let Hu Jiaojiao go this time. Then she turned around to speak to Jian Yiling, “Jian Yiling, you’ve made great progress this time. Keep up the good work! Aim for a good score next time as well. Feel free to tell me if you need my notes.”

This time, Jian Yiling had successfully pa.s.sed all her exams. She had made a significant improvement from her previous exams. As such, she had officially graduated from the group of failing students in Cla.s.s 8.
