Xiao Hua hides his bad test score and sits alone out in the yard. His close friend Xiao Fang finds him and stays by his side until it grows dark.
The Paper Turned Over
下课了，老师把考试发下来。
Class was over, and the teacher handed back the test papers.
小华看了一眼，很快就把翻过去，盖在桌子上。
Xiao Hua glanced at his score, then quickly flipped the paper over and laid it face down on his desk.
Deskmate
哎，你考多少分啊？给我看看呗。
Hey, how many points did you get? Come on, let me see.
Xiao Hua
没什么好看的，你别管了。
There's nothing to see. Just leave it alone.
他把塞进书包，一个人走出了教室。
He stuffed the test into his bag and walked out of the classroom alone.
The Steps Behind the School
小华坐在操场后边的上，低着头，不想说话。
Xiao Hua sat on the steps behind the sports field, his head down, not wanting to talk.
小芳找了他半天，最后在这里看见了他。
Xiao Fang had looked for him for ages, and finally spotted him right here.
Xiao Fang
我就知道你在这儿。是不是了？
I knew you'd be here. Did you bomb the test?
Xiao Hua
我怕回家爸妈说我，也怕同学我。
I'm scared my parents will scold me when I get home, and scared the other kids will laugh at me.
小芳没说话，在他旁边坐了下来。
Xiao Fang didn't say anything; she just sat down beside him.
Until It Got Dark
Xiao Fang
把拿出来，咱们看看错在哪儿。
Take out the test. Let's see where you went wrong.
两个人一道一道地看，小华慢慢说出了哪里没听懂。
The two of them went through it question by question, and Xiao Hua slowly explained which parts he hadn't understood.
Xiao Hua
其实没我想的那么难，刚才我连看都不敢看。
It's actually not as hard as I thought. A moment ago I didn't even dare to look at it.
Xiao Fang
天快黑了，我你回家。下次咱们一起。
It's getting dark. I'll walk you home. Next time let's study together.
走到校门口，小华回头看了一眼那片，轻轻松了口气。
When they reached the school gate, Xiao Hua glanced back at those steps and let out a gentle sigh of relief.
