During evening self-study, Li Luo was called to the office by Kong Junxiang and got the transcript of Class 8 for this final exam.

After briefly explaining some things, Kong Junxiang said again: "Write a speech tonight, just five or six hundred words, and the flag-raising ceremony will be on stage tomorrow."

"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, "Am I?"

"What else?" Kong Junxiang said with a chuckle, "It's a routine for the first time in the grade to give a speech after every exam, and you don't know."

"Oh... that's true." Li Luo nodded, "It's the first time, I didn't expect this one at once."

Leaving the office with the transcript, Li Luo returned to the classroom of Class 8, Grade 3 and posted the transcript on the bulletin board at the door of the classroom.

Some students who hadn't gone downstairs to see the rankings got up and looked at their grades.

By the way, I would like to pay attention to the great achievements of their class leader in this final exam.

Even though I had heard other students talk about Ying Chanxi falling from the top throne in the grade before, when they saw it with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but sigh.

If there are some academic masters in the first year of high school, they fantasize about sprinting to the first place.

Then after reaching the second year of high school, most people basically lost this thought and realized the reality.

When we were in the third year of high school, we were actually accustomed to this. It seemed reasonable that Ying Chanxi's name would always be ranked first.

But when this scene was broken by someone, everyone suddenly came back to their senses and found that Ying Chanxi's top golden body was not unbreakable.

At least Li Luo can do it.

Enjoying the gazes of the classmates around him, Li Luo returned to his seat and noticed Ying Chanxi turning his head to look at him. He sighed pretendingly.

"What are you doing?" Ying Chanxi looked at him squintly, "I sighed after taking the first place?"

"Isn't this a flag-raising ceremony tomorrow? Teacher Kong asked me to prepare a speech and I have to go on stage to speak tomorrow." Li Luo shook his head with a sigh, "It's really troublesome."

"Don't be good if you get a cheaper one, okay?" Ying Chanxi gave him an angrily glance. She had always done this. "Besides, you haven't talked about it before."

Li Luo was admitted to the top 40 in the school before, and was stable in the field that originally belonged to key classes in a parallel class, so he was invited to speak on stage.

"But this is the first time in my life, I have come to the stage to speak as the first in my grade." Li Luo blinked and said, "I'm really a little nervous."

"Hmph." Ying Chanxi saw that he was just making fun of him, so he was too lazy to pay attention to him, "You won't have this opportunity in the future, cherish it."

"So what should the speech be said?" Li Luo asked humbly for advice, "Class Ying Chanxi, you have a lot of experience in this area. Can you teach me?"

"...I think you're looking for a fight."

"I'm serious, if you don't teach me, I can only copy you."

"You copy it, I see how you copy it."

"Dear teachers and dear classmates, hello everyone! I feel very honored to stand here today..."

“…Students, learning is like a marathon…”

"Stop!" Ying Chanxi saw that he had really memorized the speech he had taken to stage after the midterm exam without saying a word, so he remembered this guy's outrageous memory and quickly asked him to stop, "You are not allowed to copy me!"

"I have various versions of your speeches." Li Luo said with a smile, "You can do it in the first year of high school."

"You wrote it yourself!" Ying Chanxi said angrily, "It's just sharing your own learning experience. You can write whatever you learn in your daily life."

“That feels very difficult to write.”

“Why is it difficult to write?”

"Do I just write, read books every day, write down all the knowledge points I should remember, and then my grades will naturally increase?"

"You're so pretending." Ying Chanxi curled his lips, "Be careful of being beaten."

"Hey... I just want to be an honest person, but this world always makes me hypocritical." Li Luo sighed helplessly, picked up his pen, and started writing on paper.

Ying Chanxi rolled his eyes, and when he heard the bell ringing for class, he turned around and ignored him.

...

On Monday the next day, Li Luo and the other two came to the school for a morning jog.

After having breakfast in the school cafeteria, I came to the classroom and waited for the bell to ring.

When the background music of the flag-raising ceremony sounded, all teachers and students in the school took action.

The students from Class 8 of Grade 3 gathered at the door of the classroom. Leaded by two sports committee members Zhu Yufei and Yan Zhusheng, they walked neatly towards the playground lawn.

Li Luo and Ying Chanxi disappeared early. In the preparation area behind the flag-raising platform, Li Luo stood here, waiting with another classmate next to him who was about to give a speech.

The other party is the classmate who has made the most progress this time, just like Li Luo's nature before.

Just as Li Luo was waiting for the flag-raising ceremony to begin, he saw a sneaky figure approaching with the camera.

When I looked closer, I realized that it was Ying Chanxi.

"Why are you here?" Li Luo asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I'm responsible for the camera of today's flag-raising ceremony." Ying Chanxi raised the camera in his hand and said as if he was taken for granted.

"You are not a member of the photography club, how did you get in?" Li Luo asked speechlessly.

"I have a friend from the photography club, and I used to be a non-staff member of the photography club."

Ying Chanxi blinked innocently and pointed at another classmate holding a camera on the playground track, "She is responsible for the playground, I am responsible for the flag-raising platform. If you beg me, I will take you to be more handsome."

"Hehe, Yingdao, you still can't get rid of your unspoken rules?" Li Luo joked with a smile, "Is this a threat?"

"Hmph~" Ying Chanxi hummed a little arrogantly. When he noticed that the director came, he ignored him and ran aside with the camera on his shoulder to start the shooting.

Li Luo also saw the director of the teaching, and saw him approaching, patted Li Luo and another classmate on the shoulders, and smiled and encouraged and praised him.

Then the national anthem of the flag-raising ceremony sounded.

The school's flag-raising team slowly took the stage and raised the national flag. Li Luo saluted and sang the national anthem. As the national flag rose to the top, the director of the teaching staff sorted out his suit and walked slowly up the flag-raising platform.

After a while, it was the turn of the classmate next to him to give a speech.

The classmate was holding a speech in his hand, and his hands were still a little trembling after he came on stage.

When I first started speaking, my voice trembled slightly, and it was only after I read it halfway through it.

A few minutes later, it was Li Luo's turn to take the stage.

When he stood on the flag-raising platform and faced thousands of audiences below, Li Luo didn't feel much nervous. By the way, he also noticed that the camera set up by Ying Chanxi on the side.

With the memory palace, he doesn't need any speeches.

After a regular opening greeting, he got to the point.

“…When it comes to learning methods, they are actually all clichés.”

"So, I don't want to go into details here, I just need to thank someone."

"Well, what I want to thank is Ying Chanxi."

"When I was in junior high school, my grades were actually very poor."

"Even so, the day before the high school entrance examination, she was willing to help me review my homework, set the exam focus for me, and teach me various problem-solving skills."

"Later, we went to the Affiliated First Middle School, and we often learned and made progress together. I benefited a lot in this regard."

"When I was studying, Ying Chanxi has already shared a lot on this flag-raising platform, so I don't need to show off my skills."

"I won the first place this time, and Ying Chanxi is also very happy for me. I think such a healthy competitive relationship is the driving force for us to keep improving."

"A lucky victory is not the goal, it is just a wonderful scenery on the way to the end."

"In the future, I will continue to work hard, hoping to continue to maintain it and give Ying Chanxi more pressure and motivation."

...

When Li Luo's words turned to Ying Chanxi, Ying Chanxi, who was holding the camera, was recording, and suddenly turned red.

She didn't expect that Li Luo would say something bad at the flag-raising ceremony, but she just wanted to talk about it.

It’s obviously a way to let you go on stage to share your learning experience!

What did you say this?

Ying Chanxi's cheeks were red.

Among the students in Class 8, Grade 3, they also laughed softly.

"The squad leader is worthy of being the squad leader... He dares to show his affection in front of the teaching director?"

"How can this be called showing affection? Is the squad leader not saying it? That is called healthy competition."

"So I am only one Ying Chanxi away from the first grade in my grade?"

"Wake up, kid, why did you go to bed again early in the morning?"

...

"It's all your fault. When you come back, you all look at me strangely."

After returning to the classroom, Ying Chanxi hit Li Luo in shame and complained in a low voice.

"What's my problem? Every word I said on the flag-raising platform is true."

"Why are you lying? What does it have to do with your good grades? It's obviously you who work hard on your own."
