After Sun Ying copied the workbook, she returned the workbook to the male student. The male student took the workbook with two trembling hands and did not turn around for a long time.
From now on, their class had lost a demon king, and gained another beautiful girl who loved to learn.
The others did not know why Sun Ying changed, but Su Mian knew. It was just that she had not expected the pre-selection would make Sun Ying change so much.
She actually got off her high horse, borrowed something from others, and returned it after borrowing.
In the next few days, the learning atmosphere in the class was harmonious. Even the cold and proud Sun Ying could become so friendly. Why would the others not be able to change?
For the pre-selection, almost everyone did their best.
Just as everyone was busily preparing for the pre-selection, one incident forcibly tore a gap in the students’ tense lives.
Liu Wen Juan from their class had died.
When the students learned about this, they happened to be getting out of the first period. An ambulance was parked outside the gate of the girls’ dormitory and they saw several people in white coats following a teacher into the dormitory building.
It was said that when the doctors arrived, Liu Wen Juan had long stopped breathing. She had drunk a bottle of pesticide and even the heavens could not save her.
The students talked a lot and the girls who shared a room with Liu Wen Juan were scared and crying. They did not dare to stay in the room at night.
“Why did she commit suicide?”
“She was probably afraid of failing the pre-selection and having to tell her family!”
“I heard there was a suicide note that said she was worried she would not pass the pre-selection, so she didn’t want to live anymore.”
“Sigh, this pre-selection is harmful enough.”
“But Liu Wen Juan’s grades were average and there was potential. If she wanted to die, she should have waited for the red list to come out, not die at this time!”
“Who knows!”
Liu Wen Juan stayed in the room next door. Su Mian was not familiar with her and she seemed like a quiet girl. But it was hard to say. People who tended to be suicidal were the ones who usually did not talk very much.
In the afternoon, Liu Wen Juan’s parents and relatives arrived and a dozen or so people came. They sat in the principal’s office and would not leave, insisting that Liu Wen Juan had not committed suicide and they wanted to report to the police for a thorough investigation.
There was no need to publicise this kind of thing. Within a few days, several other schools would definitely know about it.
The school originally wanted to reassure the family members, thinking that the matter would be settled like this. However, Liu Wen Juan’s family insisted that Liu Wen Juan had not committed suicide, so the school could not help but report it to the county’s public security bureau.
The comrades at the county public security bureau clarified the process of handling the case to the school. It would take at least two days to collect clues, obtain physical evidence, and understand the situation.
Wu Yu Mei refused on the spot. The pre-selection was in two days and she could not delay her students for two days. It was not that she did not consider the feelings of Liu Wen Juan’s family, and as the head teacher, she also wanted to find out what had happened. However, she could not make light of the rest of the 60 students’ potential.
The exams next Monday and Tuesday were not ordinary monthly exams where if they failed the exam, they could just work harder next time. This was the pre-selection and if they did not do well, they would pretty much have to pack up and leave.
Principal Sun also felt the same way. He communicated with the comrades of the county police station and Liu Wen Juan’s family and after a final negotiation, it was decided that the investigation of the students would begin after the pre-selection was over.
The students also breathed a sigh of relief. It would not make anyone feel better if someone in uniform came to talk everyday.
Besides, Liu Wen Juan has still been their classmate for three years. Having usually been in their class and then dying so suddenly, they panicked when they thought about it.
With Liu Wen Juan’s family sent away temporarily, the third year class six students worked harder. They knew that this precious time had been bought for them by their teachers and the principal.
