Chapter 43: Did Her Best

Ning Li looked at Kong Rou. “Ms. Kong, my English is not that good. Why don’t you pick someone else?”

She found it useless and a waste of time.

Kong Rou, however, thought it was not a problem. After all, the more Ning Li claimed to be poor in English, the more she should practice.

Ning Li was still a new student in the school, and Kong Rou noticed the girl always spent time alone. This might be a great chance for her to mingle with the other classmates.

“It’s okay. No one comes into this world knowing everything. You just have to muster enough courage to try, am I right? Why don’t I get someone who is better at English to join you in the same group?”

Kong Rou then scanned the classroom.

A lot of the students looked away and tried to blend in with the background. There was nothing wrong, but Ning Li’s English was poor. If the students were to join the same group as her, they would have to do the heavy lifting.

Time was precious to the third-year students, and no one wanted to waste their time with this.

Kong Rou then locked her gaze on someone.

“Pei Song?”

Pei Song had won the first prize in the National High School English Speaking competition back when he was just a first-year student, and he was the monitor of the class. He was the perfect candidate to guide Ning Li.

“You and Ren Qian can help Ning Li with next week’s play.”

The class went silent, but on second thought, it seemed like Pei Song was the best choice. Since Pei Song was chosen, Ren Qian, who was sitting next to him, would naturally be chosen as well.

Pei Song nodded plainly.

Ren Qian smiled and said, “Ms. Kong, don’t worry! We will make sure that the play goes well!”

“And one more…”

Kong Rou continued to scan through the class. She spotted Ye Ci but eventually locked her attention on a petite and quiet girl with short hair sitting in the front row.

“He Xiaochen, is it okay for you to be in the same group with them?”

He Xiaochen was a regular in the top 10 in terms of academic results, especially English. She had never dropped out of the top 3 spots before.

Kong Rou had somehow assembled the strongest English team for Ning Li.

He Xiaochen pushed her glasses up and answered, “Yes, teacher.”

Kong Rou was happy with her arrangement. She heard that Ning Li was great in other subjects such as Chemistry, Physics, Biolog, and so on. However, the English standards in Lincheng were falling behind, and she was afraid that Ning Li could not catch up.

Henceforth, she ought to help Ning Li by giving her ample chances to practice!

“Okay, that’s it. Class dismissed.”

…

Ning Li got the scripts from Kong Rou and distributed them to her classmates.

Lin Zhouyang scratched his head bitterly. “Why didn’t I get such a strong team to help me last time?” He had performed last week and almost embarrassed his entire lineage.

Cheng Xiangxiang looked askance at Ning Li and said, “If you are only starting to learn English during middle school, maybe Ms. Kong will look out for you as well.”
