That day, I became a legend in the first grade of Class 1 at No. 1 Middle School. All the subject teachers came to see me.

A little girl from Tiger Village, she ranked first in all eight subjects, and third in overall grade ranking.

No. 1 Middle School is the only good high school in the entire county. All the top students in the county are here.

Whichever grade you are in, that's the rank in the county.

In the past ten years at County No. 1 Middle School, I was the first student to jump into the top three of the grade from the county-level entrance exam.

The homeroom teacher smiled, showing his eight big teeth. Others had said he was lucky, as he had three students in the top ten of the county, but none in the top three.

But in just one month, I created a third place for him. How could he not be happy?

The Chinese teacher and the English teacher both wanted to choose me as the class representative, especially the English teacher. My grades were more than ten points higher than the second-ranked student in the grade. She really liked me.

As for me, I didn't do anything.

Originally, I wanted to do it because I thought being a class representative would give me the advantage of being close to the teachers and ask for help anytime. But then the teacher explained the responsibilities of a class representative: collecting homework, distributing papers, conveying the teacher's instructions...

I didn't want to do it anymore. Anything that would keep me away from Beijing was not acceptable.

The teacher was surprised by my refusal and thought I didn't know how to appreciate the opportunity.

Of course, I couldn't offend the teacher, so I timidly mentioned my grandpa. I said, "My grandpa says it's easy for officials to go bad. He has repeatedly told me not to become an official."

The teacher didn't know whether to laugh or cry. A class representative was nothing like an official, but seeing my insistence, they let it go.

Privately, they all thought I was stubborn.

However, they liked stubborn kids, especially those who were stubborn about their grades. That was something extraordinary.

So, when they see a child with the characteristics of stubbornness, they intentionally protect them.
