Chapter 1370: Teacher Luo's Wedding

"Really?"

"Really? Oh my, I'm so envious I could die..."

Shi Ran is the eternal god in the hearts of top students!

Besides the students, the teachers were also whispering behind their backs.

Many teachers even went to ask Teacher Luo for advice on how to get along with students.

Teacher Tian felt particularly bitter inside.

Usually, she was the one being asked for advice, but now it had changed to Teacher Luo.

If it had been any other teacher, perhaps she wouldn't have felt so psychologically unbalanced, but the person being held up like the moon among stars was Teacher Luo—her rival, the homeroom teacher of the remedial class who still dared to challenge her!

Teacher Tian went to the Principal's office to complain.

"Principal, only one of Teacher Luo and I can stay. In this school, either he goes or I go; you choose one."

The Principal had a headache.

But he still kindly invited her to sit on the sofa and personally poured her tea: "Teacher Tian, don't be angry. Tell me slowly if there's an issue. Teacher Luo is young; if there's anything he hasn't done well, please be more understanding. You are a veteran comrade, after all..."

"I can tolerate other things, but he is truly too excessive."

She blamed everything, including Lu Feifei not wanting to return to the Experimental Class, on Teacher Luo.

Without any evidence, she spouted nonsense, saying that Teacher Luo relied on his handsome looks to attract young girls who hadn't seen much of the world, and even said that Lu Feifei just liked handsome guys.

It was the same with Sheng Zichen before, because he was handsome.

Now that she suddenly changed her mind, it was also because Teacher Luo was handsome...

Fortunately, the Principal was not a fool; he didn't believe everything she said and pacified her for a while.

He just said whatever sounded good.

He said she was a senior teacher at First High School, that no one could surpass her, and that since her Experimental Class was full of top students, wasn't teaching her own students well better than anything else?

Even if Class Twelve took a rocket, it was impossible for them to surpass the Experimental Class; their foundation was what it was. If she kept staring at the remedial class, she was just lowering her own status, and so on.

The Principal was worthy of being the Principal; he certainly had skill.

With those words, he didn't solve any practical problems, but he calmed the anger in Teacher Tian's heart.

She left the Principal's office, and the Principal breathed a sigh of relief.

Monthly exam.

This time was different from before.

Previously, everyone's eyes were fixed on the Experimental Class, but for this monthly exam, everyone's eyes were fixed on Class Twelve, wanting to see what kind of surprise the students of Class Twelve would bring to the whole school!

Class Twelve certainly didn't disappoint everyone.

The results came out: fifth place in the whole school.

Although it looked like they had dropped two places compared to last time, careful people would notice that the internal composition of Class Twelve had changed overall.

Before, the improvement in grades was mainly due to the high-performing students in the class rising quickly, while the low-performing students rose slowly; the rise in the average score was mainly the credit of the high-performing ones.

But this time was different.

The students at the back had caught up; the grades of the low-performing students improved very quickly, while the high-performing students in Class Twelve did not show very obvious improvement in this exam.

Of course, it wasn't that they hadn't made progress, but that these high-performing kids were hiding their talents!

They deliberately didn't answer some simple, giveaway questions that were similar.

This was also part of the "Top Student Cultivation Plan."

The second study plan wrote: Progress should be appropriately slow; help the classmates who are not as good as you. Don't worry that they will surpass you. The more excellent the people around you are, the further you will go on your own path!

It also mentioned the famous crab theory.

When experienced fishermen catch crabs, if there are only one or two crabs in the basket, they have to put a lid on it; if they don't, the crabs will climb out and run away.

But if there are many crabs in the basket, there is no need to put a lid on it, because every crab trying to climb up will be pulled down by the ones below!

Shi Ran is the myth in the hearts of top students; what she says must be reasonable.

The high-performing students in Class Twelve took the initiative to find the low-performing ones to explain problems and analyze study methods.

They spontaneously and consciously formed one-on-one help pairs.

Therefore, in this monthly exam, the grades of the low-performing students improved very quickly!

But the overall grades of Class Twelve seemed to have regressed. Teacher Tian was very smug, walking with a spring in her step in the office.

She said to other teachers: "A remedial class is a remedial class. They have enthusiasm, but they can't keep it up for long. It's only been a few days and they can't hold on anymore. Just wait and see, they'll be at the bottom in the next monthly exam!"

"Exactly."

"That's right, Teacher Tian is correct. It's easy to persist for a day, and not hard for a month, but studying is not a matter of taking shortcuts; it requires long-term persistence."

"Yeah, it's not primary school anymore where you can just work hard and your grades will go up immediately. Besides, who isn't working hard? There isn't a student who can get into First High School who doesn't work hard."

"What a pity, I even wanted to use Class Twelve to motivate my own class."

There were quite a few people waiting to see the joke of Class Twelve.

But there were also different voices.

From behind a desk in the corner came a cold voice: "Heh! We are all teachers; don't you know that you can't just look at the surface of things? This is the grade distribution chart for Class Twelve. Take a look at this, and then tell me if you can still make snide remarks?"

It was the chemistry teacher's desk; he usually had a good relationship with Teacher Luo.

The teachers were unconvinced, but after looking at the grade distribution chart for Class Twelve, no one spoke anymore.

We are all teachers; everyone knew what these grades meant!

Class Twelve.

Teacher Luo walked onto the podium, beaming with joy, and announced with a smile: "Students, I'm getting married tonight. I invite everyone to have a meal."

"Wow—"

"Wow—"

"Wow—"

Teacher Luo is getting married? So soon?

After the exclamation, sounds of congratulations rang out all at once!

"Congratulations, Teacher."

"Wishing Teacher and Teacher's wife a harmonious union for a hundred years and to grow old together."

"Congratulations, Teacher!"

The sounds of congratulations were endless.

But some observant students wondered, what kind of wedding gift should they give the teacher?

Teacher Luo saw what the students were thinking and spoke before they could: "I'm letting everyone attend my wedding, firstly so you can share in my joy, and secondly because I see you've been too tired lately and need to relax."

"We have an agreement: no gifts and no monetary gifts are allowed; no matter who gives them, I will not accept them." The students hadn't started earning money yet, and any gifts would come from their parents' money, so he would not accept them.

That was what he said, but if they didn't show any gesture for the teacher's wedding, the students would feel uneasy.

If he won't accept monetary gifts, then they would just give presents.

He can't accept expensive ones, but surely he can accept cheap ones?

In the evening, at a mid-range restaurant next to the school, Teacher Luo held a simple wedding.

Although the wedding was simple, it was very lively.

There were over ten tables in total, and the students from his own class occupied five tables.

The school teachers occupied two tables.

Teacher Luo and his wife's school were nearby, so former classmates and teachers occupied three tables, friends occupied two tables, and family members from both sides occupied three tables.
