Love Is Meant to Be Secret Chapter 4

In October, the first monthly exam for the first year of high school came as scheduled.

The school randomly allocates examination rooms according to the pinyin of the last name. It is said that in the future, students will be ranked based on their last performance to prevent "Sc*mbag students" from getting high scores.

Harper Xia's surname starts with the letter There are 30 classes for the first year of high school in R, so the chance of being in the same examination room with someone you know is actually very small.

The invigilator removed the seal, opened the large brown paper envelope, unfolded the paper into a fan, counted the quantities with his fingers, and distributed them equally to the first row of the four groups.

Harper Xia glanced at it and felt that there was no problem. He turned the paper back to the front and answered the questions in order.

He did it quickly.

He muttered silently in his mind: "The correct one is...well, choose C." He squeezed the pen tightly with his fingertips and drew a line in front of the title. He was confident when answering questions.

Question after question went very smoothly, and there was almost no hesitation or lag.

Harper Xia estimates that he can get about 136 in this set of Chinese. 8 points will be deducted for the essay, two points will be deducted for the major reading, one point will be deducted for each of the two small readings, and there is one choice that I am not very sure about, so count it as wrong, 136.

Okay, there is still writing left, and there is enough time.

But at this moment, Harper Xia felt dizzy! ! !

"...?!" He composed himself, but he didn't feel better. There was a cramp in his abdomen, which made him lie on the table unconsciously. It was as if a hand was grabbing his intestines, twisting them together, and tearing them apart, causing the knotted places to pull together.

Harper Xia pressed her stomach with her hands, but the pain lingered. He put down his pen, pressed his abdomen hard, knocked his head on the table, and bent his upper body to rest for a while. At some point it seemed to get a little better, but as soon as I picked up the pen, my body was overturned again.

Even my stomach started to hurt.

what happened?

He raised his hand.

The invigilator came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Harper Xia asked, "Can I go to the toilet?"

"Can you hold it back?" The invigilator saw the other person's face just after he finished speaking - it was frighteningly pale, so he abruptly changed his answer and said, "Forget it, go ahead."

"Thank you, teacher..."

Harper Xia bent down and quickly rushed out of the examination room and rushed into the toilet! ! !

It hurts...

After a long while, Harper Xia's feet were numb, and she walked out of the cubicle. Her eyes were dull and she washed her hands in a daze. However, as soon as she walked out of the toilet, she felt a wave of nausea suddenly shot up her esophagus! He waited for a while while holding on to the wall, then turned around and lay down on the sink, vomiting out all his breakfast, feeling a burning sensation in his throat. Especially the part near the heart, it's like burning on fire.

After this time, he seemed to feel better. Harper Xia rinsed his mouth, cleaned the sink, and slowly walked back to the examination room to continue writing his answer sheet.

However, this "goodness" did not last long.

After writing about 200 words, I started to have vomiting and diarrhea again! ! !

Everyone is in bad condition!

But you can’t just ignore it in the classroom! ! !

After going back and forth several times, Harper Xia had only written 400 words when the bell rang. When the teacher collected the papers, he held down the paper and wrote wildly, barely finishing it, but it was still complete. Then he didn't want to pack up his things and leave. He sat alone on the chair, feeling very aggrieved.

It takes about ten minutes every time I go to the toilet. The essay has 60 points. This article... can score up to 30 points, and only 114 points are left.

The first place is gone.

He felt bad. I had no strength before, and I have even less strength now. It felt like something was stuck in my throat and I couldn't breathe easily.

Harper Xia didn't eat at noon - he didn't dare to eat. He only drank some water and then returned to the examination room to prepare for the English and mathematics tests.

The result... was even worse than in the morning.

My whole body is cold, my limbs are weak, and I seem to have a fever! !

Vomiting and diarrhea swept through her again. Harper Xia couldn't even finish the English listening test, and the entire second section was empty. As for mathematics, I haven’t finished it yet.

No...I have to go to the hospital.

He knew that his father happened to be at home at the moment - it was rare that he happened to be at home, after all, he was a man who stayed away from home all year round. He was so weak that even on the way to the school gate, he couldn't move several times. He rested on the side of the road for a long time. It was not easy to insist on going out to take a taxi.

The hospital took a look and found that there was food poisoning and bacteria. The blood picture showed more than 20,000 white blood cells, and I was prescribed anti-inflammatory injections and intravenous drip.

It was raining on the way home, and Harper Xia was shaking as if she was sifting chaff. She felt the night wind penetrate into the seams of her bones, causing pain everywhere, and she couldn't tell which bone it was. The raindrops seemed to weigh heavily, making my scalp numb. When I got home and took a measurement, I found that the temperature had soared to over 39 degrees, and I felt very depressed. I didn't know why it was like this.

Cover yourself tightly and sleep.

I measured it the next day and it was 37 degrees 5.

"Okay," Harper Xia walked into the living room and picked up her schoolbag, "I'm going to take the exam."

"What exam?!" Harper Xia's 45-year-old father, Xia Yonghe, was preparing food. "We won't take the exam."

"...What?"

"I'm going to ask for leave."

Can I not take the exam? ? ? Harper Xia thought: I don’t agree! ! !

Even if you don’t do well in Chinese, English, and Mathematics, you can’t miss Physics, Chemistry, Geography, and History! ! ! Besides, the first three doors are not too bad, so we can still see where we will end up!

So he stubbornly said: "I'm fine, I can take the exam, I don't feel uncomfortable at all--"

"You're not allowed to go." Xia Yonghe said, "It's important to take good care of your health. If you go out and do some hard work, what if it gets serious again? It's just a test in one month."

"I---"

"Health is the most important thing, Jiujia, don't let dad worry."

... Harper Xia stopped talking.

His mother died young due to illness and his father was away from home all year round. As soon as his father said such words, he completely lost his temper.

Over there, Xia Yonghe had already taken out his mobile phone to ask for leave.

... Harper Xia sat in front of the dining table, drank milk, ate eggs, and bread, and wanted to go to school very much. He couldn't help but start to wonder, what questions would there be in the first monthly exam? Will it be difficult? Give everyone a bit of mawei? It's still very simple. What questions will be tested in physics...and...what about chemistry? Will you ask about experimental methods? Still --- After breakfast, he returned to the bedroom and lay down.

The hands reached nine o'clock.

Inside the school, the physics exam has begun.

Harper Xia thought: The invigilator will also put a test paper on his desk. Then, when he waits until about 9:15 and sees that he has not appeared, he will put away the paper, fill in his name, and write "absent for exam" with one stroke of his pen.

When the paper comes down, it will have a zero mark.

Four consecutive zero points.

The other three doors are not good either.

When the time comes, the last name on the grade list and class list will be written "Harper Xia".

No, maybe it's not the first from the bottom, then the second from the bottom, the third from the bottom --- and the first from the bottom belongs to someone else. I can only watch the other person successfully get the first small prize. The first place in the monthly exam established his status as a "god of study" and received praise from everyone.

Harper Xia lay on the bed and thought wildly. As she thought about it, she cried angrily.

Tears rolled down his face and he quickly wiped them away with a pillow towel.

This is the first big test after entering high school, and it can test whether he is still the top in R. He has been looking forward to this result for a month. He wants to prove himself... keep proving himself. R Middle School is the best high school in the province, with top picks coming out every year. Being ranked first here only shows the problem.

Harper Xia understands the sadness and pain those athletes who have been training hard feel when they are unable to participate in the competition due to injury. Just imagine, if a champion player is finally able to participate in the adult competition, he plans to be amazing with his skills, but is injured and withdraws at the beginning of the competition... his mood will definitely be at the bottom.

Feeling bored while lying down, Harper Xia secretly took out the test questions. As a result, his father seemed to have telepathy and pushed open the door with a "bang". Like a thief, he quickly stole a copy of "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years Simulation" 》.

...

The speed at which teachers in R can mark papers is amazing.

The scores for each subject came out the day after the exam, and even the rankings were arranged, both for the class and the whole school.

David Yu is a very nice person. He only cut out the top 30 students in the class and the top 900 students in the school year and pasted them on the blackboard in the classroom. As for the 30 students at the bottom of the class and the 1,100 students at the end of the school year, he cut the list into pieces of paper and sent them directly to the students in units of names.

David Yu said: "Students who did not get good grades this time should work hard. Hua Luogeng said: Diligence can make up for weakness is a good lesson, every minute of hard work is worth a minute of talent. I won't lose face to you this time. When the exam is completed, I may take the exam." Post all the orders."

Harper Xia looked at her scores in various subjects: Chinese 114, English 114.5, Mathematics 124, Physics 0, Chemistry 0, Geography 0, History 0...

Ranked 56th in the class, fifth from the bottom, grade... he was not ranked, and the grade list ended at 1,200. R Middle School has a total of 30 classes and about 2,000 students in the first grade of high school. He is not the last one, because the Rockets class also has people paying for it.

Clench your fist tightly.

Next to her, Mia Ye was also holding on to the strip tightly, and it seemed that her results were not very satisfactory. After a while, Mia Ye crumpled the strip into a ball and stuffed it into the pencil case. She pursed her lips tightly, took out a teaching aid and started working on the questions.

Harper Xia said, "Mia Ye, are you okay?" As a deskmate, he knew that although Mia Ye was nicknamed "a strong student" by Logan Shen, her grades were very average. After hearing the conversation on the physics test, Mia Ye knew that Logan Shen at the back table was smart, so she often asked Logan Shen questions, but... all the questions were not too difficult, and sometimes she had just asked similar questions , I can’t do it any other way.

Mia Ye answered the question without looking at Harper Xia's face: "Class 46, grade 864."

Harper Xia said, "That's good. After all, we are in the rocket class."

"No..." Mia Ye said, "You can't get into the '985' school like this... Our school's '985' admission rate last year was 30%, and you have to be at least the top 600. "

"That...that's very close."

Mia Ye shook her head and asked, "What about you?"

"I..." In order to make Mia Ye feel better, Harper Xia didn't explain anything and just said, "It's not good, I didn't make the top 30."

"Let's work hard together." It's only been a month since school started, and Mia Ye doesn't know how Harper Xia is doing overall, and she usually doesn't peek at Harper Xia's answers.

"Um."

Harper Xia also ran to the blackboard to look at the list.

He wanted to see what the name of the number one in the grade was--who was his opponent.

And then...he saw...Logan Shen in the top row.

Chinese 136, English 144, Mathematics 150, Physics 100, Chemistry 100, Geography 98, History 96...

Harper Xia: ... He doesn't know much about Logan Shen's situation. He voluntarily gave up entering the experimental class because the teaching in the experimental class is often related to competitions, but he has little interest in participating in competitions. I would rather spend my spare time reading my favorite books. The teaching staff of the Rocket Class in R is equivalent to that of the experimental class. Last year’s provincial champion came from the Rocket Class in R.

Logan Shen leaned back on the chair and turned her pen, as if disdainful.

A large group of people surrounded the "boss" and howled: "Brother Shen, you are awesome!" "Brother Shen, kneel down, kneel down!"

Logan Shen had an evil smile on her lips and wrote: "Don't admire me too much."

Someone else asked: "I haven't seen you studying all the time?"

Logan Shen said: "Because I don't waste time."

Across the aisle, classmate An Zhong, who was always a bit dazed, said: "Brother Shen, Tietou certainly didn't expect that Tietou would be number one in our class in the school year. Who would have thought? You always look like that, you really don't look like a top student." ---"

Hearing this, Logan Shen frowned: "He thought about it. He killed a student before the monthly exam to sacrifice to heaven."

"Ah?" Because he was too confused, the other party actually asked, "Who did you kill?"

Logan Shen said: "You. You are dead, shut up."

"oh..."

When Logan Shen looked up and saw Harper Xia, she seemed to suddenly remember something. She retracted her long legs and leaned over to ask, "Crystal Skin Jelly, what's your rank in the exam? I see you're always studying."

Harper Xia was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to him.

Logan Shen got excited, pushed aside the many younger students, walked to the podium like the wind, pulled apart a bunch of classmates, and started to look at the class rankings from top to bottom.

Seen all the way to No. 30…

He looked at Harper Xia with an incredulous expression all the way, and then returned to his seat and continued sitting in a daze.

About two minutes later, Harper Xia suddenly felt someone poked his back.

He turned back: "...?"

What did Logan Shen ask him to do?

Logan Shen lay slightly on the table, his eyes bright. He looked at Harper Xia with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief, "Crystal Skin Jelly, are all the questions you usually make false?"

... Harper Xia turned his head and twitched the chair again.

Behind him, Logan Shen seemed very sad and said in a faint voice: "What should I do? I found that there is a big gap between you and me."
