Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 224 - 219: The Second Daughter Born Out of Wedlock

"Teacher Zhang, I want to board at school." After class, Ye Qiu went directly to the teacher’s office and found her homeroom teacher, Zhang Yinghua.

Zhang Yinghua put down her pen from grading homework and seriously asked the delicate and well-behaved student in front of her, "Can you tell the teacher why?"

"It’s not possible for me to study properly at home, it’s better to board at school."

Zhang Yinghua, a serious and responsible teacher, had reviewed Ye Qiu’s file and naturally knew that Ye Xia, the beauty of the school in senior year, was her older sister. Yet, Ye Xia had never been seen attending to Ye Qiu like this in their junior year, and no one in the entire school even knew the real relationship between Ye Qiu and Ye Xia.

Ye Xia had moved up to First High School from elementary to middle school, while as far as she knew, Ye Qiu had transferred in from the countryside during the second semester of her freshman year. Ye Xia was skilled in both dance and piano; Ye Qiu, however, had always been unknown, leading Zhang Meiyin to surmise that Ye Family might treat the two sisters quite differently.

A child’s rebellious phase is not solely because of her own, but more so due to family, hence when Ye Qiu said she couldn’t study properly at home, Zhang Meiyin completely believed her and supported her decision to stay at the school.

However, the necessary procedures still had to be followed, Zhang Meiyin told Ye Qiu: "As long as your parent comes to the school to sign, you can move into the dormitory next week."

"Thank you, teacher, I understand." Ye Qiu bowed to the homeroom teacher, her serious little face making her look even more well-mannered and sensible.

Zhang Meiyin nodded with relief, the child was not too late to realize it; since her home wasn’t helpful, she had to make more effort herself.

"Teacher Zhang, is this student from your class? How come I’ve never seen her before?" the neighboring chemistry teacher asked puzzledly.

Teacher Zhang explained to him: "This is Ye Qiu. Haven’t you punished her to stand before?"

"This is Ye Qiu?" The chemistry teacher looked incredulous.

Zhang Meiyin smiled and nodded: "Yes, this child used to be a bit rebellious, but she has started to mend her ways now, and from now on, you should treat her with more leniency in your class; at least she shouldn’t lag too far behind the others, right?"

"Kids are better when they are fresh and clear. It’s like she’s a different person just by changing her hair," the chemistry teacher muttered under his breath. His class was the third period, and till then he still looked dazed, frequently glancing over at Ye Qiu.

That evening, Ye Qiu returned home and spoke to her mother about boarding at school. Initially, Ye Mu disagreed; First High School was very close to the Ye Family’s home, only a 15-minutes walk, and when Ye Qiu brought it up, she thought Ye Qiu wanted to live with a few bad friends and immediately rejected Ye Qiu’s suggestion.

However, ultimately it was Ye Xia who persuaded her, although Ye Qiu knew that Ye Xia did it to have a room to herself, Ye Qiu still wanted to thank her.

The next day, her mother went to the school to sign, and in the evening, Ye Qiu moved into the dormitory. To her surprise, her deskmate Ren Meimei, Study Committee member He Danhua, and Chemistry class representative Yang Qing were all also residing in this dormitory.

The dormitory was a ten-person room with bunk beds, and in the middle, there was a row of desks; the dormitory did not have a restroom, and to wash up, one had to go to the public restroom at the end of the corridor.

The conditions aren’t great, as most high school dorms are like this, but since the roommates all love cleanliness, the dormitory is exceedingly neat and tidy, its windows sparkling.

Ye Qiu’s bunk is on the top. The girl who previously occupied this bunk had to leave due to illness. The bunk is by the window, next to Ren Meimei, and the Study Committee is just below.

Upon her arrival, the whole dormitory gave her a warm welcome, making Ye Qiu feel touched. Ordinary classmates could show her kindness, yet her own blood relatives harbored the most malice towards her in this world.

After moving into the school, without the annoyances of the Ye Family, Ye Qiu devoted all her time and thoughts to her studies. In her absence, the Ye Family returned to their joyful ways as usual. Even when Ye Qiu didn’t return on weekends, only Ye Fu would casually inquire about her, stopping only when he heard that Ye Qiu was attending tutoring sessions in school. Granny Ye, however, missed having someone to help her with chores.

A month swiftly passed by, and it was time for the monthly exam. The efforts of studying until ten o’clock each night for the past month were not in vain, as Ye Qiu could at least solve the questions she couldn’t understand before using certain formulas.

Ye Qiu’s performance in this monthly exam caught the attention of the entire class. Zhang Yinghua silently appreciated Ye Qiu’s hard work over the period. With a total score of 750 points, Ye Qiu, despite only scoring 480 points, indeed remained the last in the class ranking. However, her overall grade ranking rose significantly to the 612th position, improving by more than half compared to her initial score of just over 200 points.

Zhang Yinghua nodded in satisfaction. In just one month, Ye Qiu had made significant progress. She believed that if Ye Qiu continued at this pace, she would soon catch up with her classmates.

While the homeroom teacher Zhang Yinghua was pleased with the results, the class representatives who tutored Ye Qiu were not satisfied. How could their student fare worse than those in regular classes? It seemed they needed to provide extra tutoring for Ye Qiu.

In the following month, Ye Qiu received even more enthusiastic attention from her classmates.

Soon, it was time for another monthly exam, which also coincided with the first semester’s final exams for the second year. This final was a city-wide joint examination, with the papers co-authored by teachers from First High School and two other notable high schools. Although the difficulty was not very high, the examination comprehensively tested the students’ fundamentals.

The moment Ye Qiu received the exam paper, she knew she should not perform poorly. Being a calm and meticulous person, she managed all the easy questions that could cause careless students to lose points, except for the difficult ones at the end she couldn’t solve.

Theoretically, after the exams, the first-year students would start their winter break of a full month. However, there were still fifteen days until the Lunar New Year, and the second and third-year students had to stay in school for remedial classes until the day before the Lunar New Year, meaning ten more days of school for them.

The school teachers graded the papers quickly, and the rankings for the whole city were released just three days after the exams.

"How much did you score in math?" Ren Meimei eagerly leaned over as soon as the papers were distributed, more anxious about it than her own scores.

"123? Not bad, not bad." Satisfied, Ren Meimei nodded as she looked over Ye Qiu’s paper. "Eh? You got all the early questions right; looks like the basic skills have solidified over these two months. Soon, we can start tackling the harder problems."

"I have you to thank for that; without your tutoring, I couldn’t have improved so quickly." Ye Qiu gratefully smiled at her, continuing until Ren Meimei blushed.

"It’s because you’re smart; not everyone progresses as fast as you do."

Not just Ren Meimei, but all the students and teachers of Class One thought the same; Ye Qiu had indeed improved a lot. Both intelligence and hard work are indispensable, and although she had strayed for a while, it was good she had turned over a new leaf.
