Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg
Chapter 1068: Ranked First
"Mom, I rarely get a chance to relax, can’t you just let me sleep in?" Jiang Xue said reluctantly.
She thought she wouldn’t sleep in for long, at most just three days. It’s not like she would do it all the time. But Mrs. Jiang didn’t know this and said, "Sleeping in isn’t a problem, but look, by the time you wake up, you don’t even eat lunch. How can that be okay?"
Just as it seemed like the mother and daughter were about to argue, Father Jiang tried to mediate, saying, "Xue’er, how about this? You eat breakfast first in the morning and then sleep?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"That works!" Mrs. Jiang had no objections to this. She only wanted Jiang Xue to eat regularly. She didn’t care whether she ate before sleeping or slept before eating.
Mrs. Jiang was happy, but Jiang Xue wasn’t pleased. If she slept after breakfast, how could she fall asleep?
"Dad, Mom..." Jiang Xue was about to persuade them, but Mrs. Jiang made the decision final, saying, "It’s settled then. From now on, no matter if you sleep in or not, you have to get up and eat first."
Jiang Xue was speechless and said nothing more. She quietly ate a bit more, then put down her chopsticks.
After the meal, Little Reunion was taken away by Father and Mrs. Jiang, leaving Jiang Xue to go upstairs for a nap by herself. Perhaps because she had slept too late in the morning, Jiang Xue couldn’t fall asleep at all while lying in bed. So, she took out her phone and called Mu Qiancheng.
They talked for a while, then hung up, before she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
At this moment, Jiang Xue didn’t know that she had become famous at school again. Within a day and a half, the results of each subject had been released. The professors ranked the exam scores and handed them over to the homeroom teacher.
The homeroom teacher was taken aback when he saw the name at the top. He never expected that Jiang Xue, a transfer student, would actually come first.
It’s important to know that she came mid-term. She didn’t even participate in the mid-term exams and missed a significant amount of classes. Yet, she unexpectedly topped the class. Moreover, her scores were significantly ahead of the second place.
Initially, the homeroom teacher thought the top student would be Liu Yiming, but not only was Jiang Xue the top performer, but in several subjects, she achieved full marks. Even when not scoring full marks, she only lost one point or just 0.5 points.
As for Liu Yiming, although he ranked second in the class, he was at least five points behind Jiang Xue in every subject, and in some subjects, even a dozen points behind.
While the homeroom teacher marveled at Jiang Xue’s excellent performance, Principal Huang was also inquiring about her results. He asked almost every teacher and finally confirmed that Jiang Xue was the top of the class.
Upon receiving this news, Principal Huang suddenly laughed. He then shared the news with the senior Mr. Huang at home.
Mr. Huang was very pleased when he heard about Jiang Xue’s outstanding performance, almost as if he had achieved the results himself.
After expressing his joy, Mr. Huang couldn’t help but remind, "Son, since Jiang Xue scored so well, you must keep your word."
"Dad, don’t worry, I’ll talk to her homeroom teacher and subject teachers. If Jiang Xue really needs to take leave, they’ll facilitate it."
"Good to know." Mr. Huang felt relieved after hearing his son. Thinking that Jiang Xue mentioned she wanted to return to her hometown during the summer break, he said, "The day after tomorrow, when she goes to school to collect her report card, see if you can invite her to our house for a meal."
"Alright, I got it. I’ll ask her then. However, don’t get your hopes up too high; Jiang Xue might refuse."
"I know, just ask. If she’s busy and can’t come, then so be it."
