The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Slapping the Fake Rich Girl 14

Late autumn and early winter, the Capital was already very cold.

In the morning, trees that had not yet shed all their leaves were frosted white, making the air seem even colder.

Anning’s body was not resistant to the cold.

When she got up in the morning, she put on a thick long yellow sweater and very thick gray leggings. Even so, when she stepped outside, she still felt cold, so she added a white cashmere coat.

Having stayed with the Zhao Family for a while, Anning had been well-fed and had put on some weight, not as frighteningly thin as when she first arrived.

Her hair had also grown quite a bit.

Song Ruyi had someone take care of her hair every few days. Now, Anning’s hair was long and smooth, and she could be in a shampoo advertisement.

Walking to the courtyard, Song Ruyi put a white wool hat on Anning, making her look soft and sweet, especially adorable.

Anning blinked her big eyes, looking even more endearing.

Song Ruyi playfully patted her head: ”Let’s go.”

On the way to school, Anning curiously looked out the car window.

Song Ruyi sat beside her, explaining which street was which as they passed.

Anning wore a smile, finding everything by the roadside fascinating.

After a while, Anning asked Song Ruyi, ”Which class is sister in?”

Song Ruyi smiled and said, ”Your sister is in Second year class 1, her academic performance is quite good, always in the key class.”

Anning thought for a moment: ”Mom, can I... go to another class? Even though my entrance scores are good, I don’t want to join class 1. I want a class that’s far from class 1.”

Song Ruyi knew Anning was still afraid of Zhao Mingzhu, and she didn’t want to force Anning, so she agreed with a smile.

They soon arrived at the school.

Song Ruyi had contacted the principal earlier, and now she took Anning straight to the principal’s office.

As the Zhao family had been donating to the school for years, when Song Ruyi brought Anning, the principal was very welcoming.

The principal invited Song Ruyi to sit down, poured her a glass of water, and then looked at Anning, ”This must be Student Zhao Anning.”

”Hello, Principal.”

Anning greeted softly and stayed close to Song Ruyi, unwilling to leave her side.

The principal pulled up a chair opposite Song Ruyi: ”Here’s the thing, we need to conduct an entrance test for Student Zhao to decide her class based on her performance.”

”That’s only proper.”

Song Ruyi nodded with a smile: ”It’s just... our Ningning doesn’t really want to go to class 1, she’s looking for a class farthest from class 1.”

”This...”

The principal frowned, ”The class farthest from class 1 is class 12, and as you know, that class consists of relatives, most students there aren’t very fond of studying, I worry it might hinder her studies.”

Song Ruyi was aware of this situation.

She wasn’t worried about Anning’s academic performance now.

During this time, Anning had been tutored at home, initially by experienced middle school teachers. These teachers only taught Anning for less than half a month, and she had mastered all the junior high knowledge. Except for Chinese, she scored full marks in all subjects in the tests set by the teachers.

Song Ruyi and Zhao Han thus understood why the teacher would call Anning a genius among geniuses; her IQ was indeed too high.

With Anning’s intelligence, even if she didn’t attend school and only studied at home, there wouldn’t be a problem.

The reason Song Ruyi wanted to send Anning to school was because of her psychological state; Anning’s mental health was not stable, and if she kept staying at home without interacting with peers, Song Ruyi feared she might develop autism.

Since it was for interacting with classmates, then the choice of class didn’t make much difference.

”I am aware of the situation you described.”

Song Ruyi smiled lightly: ”We just got our Ningning back, and she has suffered a lot. Now... I just want to properly make it up to her. I don’t want to force her to do things she doesn’t like, nor am I concerned about her academic performance. As long as she is healthy and happy, I am satisfied.”

Song Ruyi spoke up to this extent, naturally, the principal wouldn’t have any objections.

He made a phone call to fetch the class teacher of class 12, the class was primarily managed by Teacher Wu, a young lady who had just graduated a few years ago.

When Teacher Wu arrived, she brought with her the test papers from the recent monthly examination of the second year.

She placed the test papers on the office desk and first smiled at Anning: ”Student Zhao, hello, welcome to class 12.”

Anning also smiled and then shyly lowered her head.

The principal spoke a few words with Teacher Wu, then let Anning go to the desk to do some questions.

The second year had a total of eight subjects, and seeing the test papers for all subjects together appeared rather impressive.

Anning calmly sat down, first glanced over the math test paper, then picked up a pen and began to answer the questions.

The maths test paper of the second-year monthly exam was quite difficult; the good students in class 1 complained after the test that the person who set the questions was a big demon.

Teacher Wu originally thought Anning would take a long time to finish, but Anning completed the math test paper in just over ten minutes.

Teacher Wu was a bit dumbfounded when she saw her putting aside the math test paper to start on the Chinese test: ”You’re done? Not going to check it? Are there any questions you couldn’t write?”

Anning looked up at Teacher Wu, then continued to focus on answering: ”No need to check, there’s nothing I couldn’t write.”

Teacher Wu took the paper and grabbed a red pen to start marking it.

Since they had just finished the monthly exams recently, Teacher Wu still remembered the answers for this test paper; she went through the paper quickly and finished checking in a few minutes.

Song Ruyi leaned over and saw a glaringly bright score of 120 written on the test paper.

”How is it? Pretty good score, right?”

The principal also leaned over to look: ”Full marks, nice.”

”Indeed nice.”

Teacher Wu was quite pleased: ”The difficulty of this month’s exam paper was too high, the highest score in our school for mathematics was only 117, her score of 120 shows she has a very solid understanding of mathematics.”

The principal touched his somewhat balding head: ”If she doesn’t focus too much on one subject, this child’s performance should be quite good.”

Anning answered exceptionally fast, finishing both mathematics and physics in just over ten minutes each, humanities required a bit more time, but she finished all eight subjects in less than two hours.

After she finished one subject, Teacher Wu would mark that subject’s paper, and not long after she was done with everything, the total score for all eight subjects was calculated.

The total score for the eight subjects was 860, Anning scored 858, with only two points deducted on the essay, the rest were full marks.

”This score...”

Teacher Wu calculated the total and repeatedly marveled, ”Unless something unexpected happens, she is sure to become the top scorer in the middle school exams.”

She still regarded the principal with a particularly curious look: ”How did such a good seedling come to our class 12?”

The principal also had some regret.

He hadn’t expected Anning’s academic performance to be this good; had he known earlier, he would have definitely persuaded Song Ruyi to let Anning go to class 1.

”It was the child’s own request, there was no choice.”

Teacher Wu started assessing Anning again.

Seeing Anning so thin and small, yet soft, cute, and well-behaved, made her particularly fond of Anning, and coupled with Anning’s good academic performance, Teacher Wu naturally liked her even more.

She happily patted Anning’s shoulder: ”I wholeheartedly welcome you to come to our class 12; if you stay in our class, maybe the future middle school top scorer would be from class 12, that would be really impressive.”

Song Ruyi waited for Teacher Wu to take Anning to the class to report, then she spoke a few more words with the principal, all about asking the principal to take good care of Anning.

”My Ningning is a bit introverted, usually doesn’t like to talk, and also, she hasn’t been back long; there are many things in the Capital she’s not accustomed to, you’ll need to take extra care, and if there’s anything, please remember to give me a call.”

”Definitely, definitely.”

Given Anning’s performance, even if Song Ruyi hadn’t mentioned it, the principal would have taken special care of Anning.

He was also counting on Anning to become the middle school top scorer and outshine their nemesis, Fifteenth Middle School.
