Li Zixia flipped through the forms.
The first thing that came into view was Liu Zhao’s score. When placed first, it was obvious that she was the first in the class, followed by the rest.
She looked down at the scores and saw the last row. Beneath the three specialized students, there were no marks.
Li Zixia: “… ”
This form was printed with the scores of the students who applied following the college entrance examination. Although Xue Xi had participated in the college entrance examination, she had actually not participated in the admissions for the college entrance examination. She had taken the path of guaranteed admission.
Hence, it was impossible for her to score on the college entrance examination admissions list.
However, in Li Zixia’s eyes, this meant that Xue Xi’s score was indeed not high. Otherwise, how could this name list not have any marks?
She shook her head.
At this moment, Ms. Ye, who had left, returned. She was in a state of confusion, as though her worldview had been shaken.
When she saw Li Zixia, she fell silent and asked, “Li Zixia, are parents nowadays very supportive of you guys going to dye your hair?”
Dyeing hair?
Li Zixia thought of Xue Xi, who was in the same dormitory as her. Her red hair was indeed arrogant and dazzling. Li Zixia thought for a moment and said, “Teacher, the times are different now. New young people need to have our characteristics. I think that as long as their makeup is appropriate, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Ms. Ye: “…”
The corners of her lips twitched and she finally said, “Alright!”
After saying that, she gave Li Zixia a financial assistance application form for poor students and said, “This is from the school. Each class can have six slots. You should first understand the situation of the students and then choose the poorest six slots to hand these over. The poorest students can apply for a five thousand yuan per semester’s scholarship!”
Li Zixia nodded.
She looked at the application form and realized that there were three levels for poor students.
They were divided into the poorest, the slightly poor, and the average.
After she left with the forms, she went to look for Liu Zhao and asked, “Is your family poor?”
When she chatted with the few people in the dormitory yesterday, she’d realized that Liu Zhao’s parents were farmers. Compared to her, it was obvious that Xie Yingying was from a wealthy family.
As for Xue Xi… Mhm, Xue Xi also needed a form.
She was too poor.
Liu Zhao shook her head. “No need. My parents are very rich. Our village has been expropriated, so they gave us a lot of money.”
When Li Zixia heard this, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll ask the other dormitories!”
She was very efficient. Moreover, when she entered the classroom today, she already got along well with her classmates. Hence, she quickly created a dormitory by dormitory group chat and announced this news in each group.
Among those in the two-person dormitories, only one would be the poorer student.
This was very fair, and the spot for this poor student would be chosen between the two dormitory mates.
It was easy for the boys, but for the girls, there were exactly three dormitory rooms. After Li Zixia went to the other two dormitory rooms to take a look, she returned and realized that everyone’s conditions were actually not bad. Then no one would fight for this poor student spot. It would directly be Xue Xi’s!
Li Zixia was a passionate person. After deciding on a candidate, Xue Xi and Xie Yingying returned to the dormitory at noon. The bar form was placed on Xue Xi’s table. “That… Xue Xi, it’s like this. This is the application form for the poor. Can you fill it out? The highest is 5,000 yuan, and the lowest is 1,500 yuan!”
Xue Xi, who had just entered: “?”
Xie Yingying: “?”
Xie Yingying was stunned.
Is Sister Xi a poor student? When I was at the airport in Country M, I was not with Xue Xi and the rest, but Sister Xi’s friends can go to Country M to cheer for her. No matter how you look at it, she doesn’t seem to be poor, right?
Xue Xi silently returned the form to Li Zixia. “I’m not poor.”
She did not lack money!
Li Zixia was stunned. After staring at her for a while, she patted her shoulder and lowered her voice. “Xue Xi, stop being stubborn. That, fill in the form. I promise I won’t leak your name. Others definitely won’t know that you’re a poor student.”
Xue Xi: “?”
She stared at Li Zixia. “I’m really not poor.”
After saying that, she pushed the form to Li Zixia and called Xie Yingying. The two of them took their books and left.
There was no choice.
Everyone had just started school and had yet to open their textbooks. They were all anxious to play and the dormitory was too chaotic. Xue Xi decided to go to the library to read.
When Xie Yingying heard this, she immediately said that she wanted to join too.
After the two of them left, Liu Zhao asked, “Is Xue Xi’s family really not poor?”
Li Zixia fell silent for a moment before saying, “I don’t think so. Look, her skincare products don’t even have a brand. One look and you can tell that it was taken from someone. Moreover, her clothes…”
Li Zixia pointed at her wardrobe. “She only brought a small bag of clothes. I don’t think she even has a down jacket! The winter in the south is not cold, so she doesn’t need to wear it. She doesn’t know that the winter in the capital is very cold. Forget it, she must be embarrassed and afraid of being looked down on. I’ll help her submit the application… When the money comes, she can at least use the money to buy a down jacket, right?”
When Liu Zhao heard this, she glanced at Li Zixia and clenched her fists.
…
In the afternoon, everyone held a new student assembly.
The person who represented the freshmen on stage had indeed changed. It was no longer Xue Xi, but Li Xuekai.
Li Xuekai had also participated in the college entrance examination and scored very high. Moreover, he had obtained a good result with a difference of two full marks in the IMO. Hence, other than Xue Xi, Li Xuekai was the best in the school.
Xue Xi did not like being in the limelight, so she silently heaved a sigh of relief when she was not allowed to go on stage.
Li Zixia looked at Li Xuekai on the stage and became infatuated. “So handsome! Which department is this person from? Is he also from our mathematics school? Five minutes. I want all the information about this person!”
“…”
The vice-principal also attended the assembly in the afternoon and said some encouraging words to the students. He also announced the duration of the new students’ military training. It would last for two weeks from Wednesday, and during this period, they were not allowed to go home.
The assembly of the freshmen ended very quickly and everyone left according to their respective specializations. At this moment, the crowd suddenly became restless.
Xue Xi looked up and realized that Li Xuekai, who had just gone on stage to speak, was walking toward her.
Li Zixia nervously grabbed Xue Xi’s wrist. “Xue Xi, look! Ah ah ah, the male god is walking toward me! He’s walking toward me!”
Just as Li Zixia was feeling nervous, Li Xuekai stood in front of them and turned to look at Xue Xi. “Long time no see.”
