Chapter 16, where’s my victory summary background music? Bring it here!

When the English teacher said that three people scored above 130, Jiang Nian’s ears perked up like antennae.

After the English exam, he and Xu Qianqian had checked their answers.

It wasn’t a sure thing, but it was foolproof. Since there were three people above 130, as the saying goes, among three, there must be one of me.

Even so, he was still nervous at this moment.

“Zhou Yuan, who usually scores 130, got 101,” the English teacher said in an displeased tone. “How did you get such a low score? Are you dating someone recently?”

The students below burst into laughter. A tall, skinny boy scratched his head and slowly went to the stage to get his test paper. The classroom was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Someone behind him was already whispering, “Zhou Yuting must have scored 130. Her total score this time is over 500, she might be the first in our class.”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian just wanted to laugh. Zhou Yuting first?

Even if her English was perfect, she would only have 550, while he only needed to score 120 in English to easily Breakthrough 550.

Her being first was purely like a broken money counter—no coin count.

However, there were few opportunities to show off like this in school. Jiang Nian naturally wouldn’t chuckle like a villain; instead, he sat in his seat, quietly waiting for his BGM.

Ah, where is my victory settlement BGM? Bring it up!

If a comic-style photo were taken at this moment, Jiang Nian’s eyes would be covered in shadow, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

And a speech bubble, “Heh.”

“Chen Niannian, 131.”

The class stirred. The first person to score above 130 had appeared. Scores were read one by one, and then a girl’s name was called out.

“Zhao Fangfei, 137.”

The class immediately stirred again. Zhao Fangfei was usually inconspicuous and almost had no presence in the class. After a summer vacation, it really showed that everyone was showing off, whether human or ghost.

In the classroom, a girl looked back at Zhou Yuting.

“Class monitor, what did you estimate your score to be, over 130?”

In their opinion, since there were three people with English scores over 130, and two girls’ scores had already been read, the last one must be Zhou Yuting.

“I don’t know, it should be around 135,” Zhou Yuting said, feigning shyness, her heart already blooming with joy. 530 would allow her to move to a higher class and leave this place.

Hmm, it’s a bit like a Xuanhuan novel’s meaning of changing Sects.

“Hiss~ 135, that high?” The girl gasped, “Then your total score must be over 530, a score for a top university.”

“What are you saying? It’s just a diagnostic test, not the real college entrance exam,” Zhou Yuting said, feeling sweet inside, but still not speaking too definitively. “It might not be 130, the estimate might not be accurate.”

A self-fulfilling prophecy, the English teacher on stage just happened to read Zhou Yuting’s name.

“Zhou Yuting, 127.”

As the words fell, Zhou Yuting’s expression stiffened slightly, but she still stood up. At first, she felt awkward, having just said her estimated score was 135.

But then she thought, 127 wasn’t that hard to accept, and her total score was still close to 530.

She would ask Liu Feipeng to inquire about the cutoff score for the Olympiad class. Maybe the scores for the entire grade weren’t high, and her score would be just enough to get in.

Returning to her seat, she was still greeted with admiration. Things like, “As expected of the class monitor, only a few points off her estimate, it’s okay, being a bit short is still impressive.”

“By the way, the class monitor only scored 127, so who is the remaining person with over 130?”

Zhou Yuting was also stunned. “Maybe it’s Sun Xue.”

Someone said, “Her score was already announced, 113. There are only a few people in our class who are good at English, and they’ve all gotten their papers.”

Zhou Yuting couldn’t help but frown. This meant there was another “English dark horse” in the class. If it was a subject-specialized genius, it wouldn’t matter much.

She was only afraid that…

“Does anyone know Wang Jie’s score?” she asked softly.

“62, I think, they called his name at the beginning.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuting’s suspended heart settled again. Wang Jie’s total score was 499, still a long way from hers. Her total score was 527, and barring any surprises, she would be first in the class.

Oh, right, there’s also Jiang Nian.

“Hey, has Jiang Nian’s score been read?”

The nearby students didn’t know why Zhou Yuting suddenly asked about Jiang Nian, and no one had listened carefully.

“It was read, I think. Didn’t pay attention, was it sixty or seventy or something?”

Zhou Yuting felt a little relieved and began to weave her dream of moving up a class. She would create a new persona in the Olympiad class, not interacting with too many boys.

But she couldn’t completely cut them off; she would keep one or two to show off her charm.

Should she try a new hairstyle? She hadn’t tried pure bangs yet. Later, she would dress more purely, find a good-looking top student to tutor her, and build good interpersonal relationships.

Just as Zhou Yuting was fantasizing, the English teacher on stage suddenly paused.

“This time, the first place in English in our class scored 141, a very good score.”

As the words fell, the originally noisy class suddenly erupted with exclamations of “Oh!” and “Whoa, who is it?” and similar remarks, as if everyone who was supposed to be called had already been called.

“Quiet!” the English teacher said.

“Teacher, is there anyone named An Jing in our class?”

The English teacher: “. I told you to be quiet. Jiang Nian, come up and get your paper.”

Normally, few people in the class were afraid of the English teacher. Even if she said to be quiet, not many people would care, but when the name “Jiang Nian” was spoken.

The class instantly fell silent, turning their heads in unison to look at Jiang Nian’s seat as if they had seen a ghost.

Zhou Yuting froze, her pupils constricting, her heart beating rapidly.

Jiang Nian?

Why Jiang Nian?!

Damn it, his total score for five subjects was 432! How could his English be 141? That would make his total… 573?

Are you kidding me? How could anyone in a regular class score 573?

You’re fighting above your weight class!

The class was silent for two or three seconds, then burst into enthusiastic cheers. If Jiang Nian had one excellent subject, people might question if he cheated, but if his total score exceeded 570.

Then all doubts were a joke. A score of 570 from a regular class was like getting a golden legend.

“Holy crap! Holy crap! Jiang Nian got 140!!”

“Really? No way, that’s awesome!”

“Dude, were you guys really studying all summer? Was I the only one playing around?!”

“Me too.”

“Me too, I was also playing.”

“People with 480 points, get out! If you show off again, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!”

Jiang Nian had already stood up when the English teacher called his name, trying his best not to laugh, with a calm and collected expression on his face.

To be honest, 140 in English also exceeded his expectations; his luck was pretty good.

“You did well. You must have put a lot of effort into it over the summer, right?” The English teacher, for once, smiled at Jiang Nian. “Do you have any experience you can share with everyone?”

“Uh…” What experience could Jiang Nian have? “Just memorize the 3500 college entrance exam words.”

Hearing this, the English teacher’s smile grew wider, and she said loudly.

“See? What did I always say? I told you to memorize words, memorize words! But you don’t listen, always trying to figure things out yourselves, writing math during English class, do you think I don’t see you?”

“If you were as obedient as Jiang Nian, how much less would I have to worry!”

Jiang Nian was already getting embarrassed, again making the same sweating-yellow-bean expression. The person the English teacher mentioned who wrote math during English class was him.
