Chapter 441: She Didn’t Mean It That Way
Upon seeing that it was the English teacher, Mu Xiaoxiao moaned and put her head on the desk.
Why was the first lesson English!
When the teacher’s gaze landed on Mu Xiaoxiao, his brows furrowed, and he looked displeased.
The English teacher stood at the podium and hit the table with his teaching baton. “Mu Xiaoxiao, do you know you’ve been playing truant for the past few days?” he said severely as he looked at her.
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. “I know.”
“…” The corner of the English teacher’s mouth twitched. He probably hadn’t seen a student who was unrepentant about skipping class.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin with both hands and said as she looked at the teacher, “Teacher, do you want me to give you a letter of absence? I can go to the Principal’s office to get one for you after class.”
The English teacher was speechless.
Was she trying to use the Principal’s name to put pressure on him?
However, Mu Xiaoxiao had no intention of doing so. To her, seeing the Principal was like seeing any other teacher, and it felt normal to her.
The teacher probably considered her connection with Young Master Jie, and so he only gave her a glance before replying, “No need. It’s good that you’re back in class now. Don’t skip class again.”
“Okay.” Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
The teacher then turned his attention away from her, and he took out a ream of test papers from his file. “We’re taking a test this lesson. Prepare yourselves,” he said to the entire class.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. “Test?”
The English teacher heard her exclamation and looked at her. He smirked and said pointedly, “Yes, we’re taking a test now. Even if your oral skills are great during class, it doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to do well in written tests, but the latter is the only thing that matters.”
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t even need to guess to know that he was talking about her.
Was the teacher not putting the cart before the horse?
The main purpose of learning English was to communicate, not to test well.
However, marks seemed like everything in a classroom setting.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly.
Yu Zhe thought she was worried about the test, and he turned his head around slightly. “Don’t worry. If you’re able to understand the contents, you won’t score too badly,” he whispered to her.
“Okay, I got it,” Mu Xiaoxiao whispered back.
The test papers were distributed quickly.
There weren’t many tests in America. There was only one exam at the end of the term and almost none for the rest of the term. Even then, the term exams didn’t have such an anxious atmosphere.
However, things were different in China. She saw how serious everyone was and how anxious they had looked when they got their papers, and it made her nervous as well.
It seemed like the results of this test might affect something.
Everyone started to read the paper upon receiving it.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s reaction time was slower. When she finally decided to look through the questions, the teacher had already started the listening comprehension exam, which made her flustered for a moment.
Luckily, English was like a mother tongue to her, which made the listening comprehension exam not difficult.
She finished the exam easily.
Mu Xiaoxiao read on. She realized the questions weren’t hard, and she could understand all of them.
Just like what Yu Zhe had said, she wouldn’t do that badly if she understood what was on the paper.
However, perhaps she was affected by the people around her, but Mu Xiaoxiao lost herself in the paper. It was only when she finished the paper and lifted her head that she realized how fast time had flown by.
After handing in her papers, Mu Xiaoxiao was still in a daze.
Yu Zhe turned around to look at her. “How did you do?” he asked concernedly.
