Chapter Index

    “Your math score has improved. I calculated it, and you might have six hundred points.” Chen Yunyun returned to her usual cheerful demeanor.

    “Forget it, you’re overestimating me.” Jiang Nian had a confident expression. “Don’t worry, my Chinese score definitely won’t exceed one hundred.”

    Chen Yunyun was dumbfounded. Was this something to be proud of?

    “How do you know?”

    Jiang Nian waved his hand. “The essay went off-topic a bit, it’s definitely 38 points.”

    Generally speaking, for high school essays, if you write nonsense, as long as it doesn’t go off-topic, it’s 40 or above. If it’s off-topic but written okay, 38; if it’s off-topic and written ridiculously, 30 or even nothing.

    “What did you write?”

    Jiang Nian answered truthfully, “Persistence.”

    Chen Yunyun was silent for a moment, then consoled him.

    “It’s a little off-topic, but it’s okay, maybe you’ll get over forty points.”

    Regarding Chen Yunyun’s consolation, Jiang Nian was noncommittal. If his math score passed one hundred twenty, this exam would be considered a success; the other subjects didn’t matter.

    He had a rough estimate of his score range, and no matter how it added up, it would be around five hundred sixty or seventy. Regardless of anything else, at least the hurdle of being demoted was over.

    The die was cast, so Jiang Nian didn’t care too much about the remaining scores and simply changed the subject.

    “Is it lively in your town during Chinese New Year?”

    “Of course it’s lively, there are people everywhere on New Year’s Eve.” Chen Yunyun was visibly excited whenever she talked about Chinese New Year. “There’s a big bridge where we are, and lots of people set off fireworks at night.”

    “The streets are also super crowded on the first day of the New Year, and everyone is dressed up beautifully. It’s easy to run into middle school classmates as soon as you go out, you know? They even wear makeup.”

    “That kind of heavy makeup, like they’re about to walk a runway, it’s super terrifying.”

    “Why?” Jiang Nian found it funny.

    “The pressure is huge, I wouldn’t dare go out without washing my hair.” Chen Yunyun said seriously. “If you get shown up, it’s actually a very embarrassing thing in the eyes of girls.”

    Jiang Nian didn’t know what to say, so for her, washing her hair was equivalent to others putting on full makeup.

    Advanced humblebrag?

    However, Chen Yunyun did have the capital to say that, it’s just that Jiang Nian’s eyes had been spoiled. With several beautiful girls around him, he already had a bit of “Brother Dong Syndrome.”

    The beautiful Chen Yunyun in his eyes was, to others, a crushing level of attractiveness. As for the likes of Class Monitor Zhang Ningzhi and Xu Qianqian, their skin was so good he sometimes wanted to lick it.

    Let’s call it the ice cream category for now.

    It was a little bit uncool, but it didn’t matter; he was just thinking it, others wouldn’t know, so he wouldn’t wake up on the front page of Xiaohongshu.

    In the afternoon, the Comprehensive Science scores were all out.

    Li Hua’s Comprehensive Science score was nearly two hundred ninety, a solid 289. Honestly, if it weren’t for Li Hua’s trashy English, Jiang Nian probably wouldn’t have had a chance to see him.

    This was the first time, besides watching Jin Ba, that Jiang Nian felt English was useful.

    Hua Zi got 69 in English, a score that would make parents and ghosts alike despair. But as long as he passed 96 in Chinese, his total score would exceed six hundred; this was the pressure of an unbalanced subject god of war.

    “What are you looking at? Huh?” Li Hua leaned in quickly, pressing his head against Jiang Nian’s like a bull, his expression exaggerated. “How did you know my Comprehensive Science score was 289?”

    Jiang Nian looked at him, “Because a father knows his son best, and besides, who asked you?”

    As for the Class Monitor, he turned back to look; her Comprehensive Science score started with 27.

    Goodness, what a science Devil King.

    When the Chinese score comes out, she might even hit six hundred eighty.

    Even though it wasn’t hot that day, how did he end up living in the shadow of others?

    Others were a single shadow, but he was completely surrounded by shadows from all directions. Li Hua, Zhang Ningzhi, Li Qingrong, and the Mortal-path Emperor Fangfang.

    Damn it.

    But logically speaking, a good seedling like the Devil King should be promoted to Class Zero for Advanced studies. He didn’t know why, but Li Qingrong had always stayed in Class Three.

    Forget it, don’t think about it, this class was quite strange anyway.

    The holy Class Monitor ruled by doing nothing, and the Right Prime Minister Cai Xiaoqing managed Class Three. The Homeroom Teacher, Old Liu, had a presence that fluctuated, and most of the time he just let the students run wild.

    What Jiang Nian admired even more was that such a big thing happened yesterday. The video of that couple in the class even made the local trending searches, yet Old Liu could still keep his cool until now.

    As expected of an excellent people’s teacher, his Face didn’t change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

    Impressive, truly impressive!

    “Class Monitor, your score is too awesome, right?” Jiang Nian stared at Li Qingrong’s paper, his Face almost pressed against it, his envy overflowing.

    “Jiang Nian, don’t drool on the Class Monitor’s paper!” Nie Qiqi shouted from the back row, then made a lovesick Face. “Hehe, let me lick it first.”

    “Let’s play rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins goes first.” Jiang Nian said seriously.

    Nie Qiqi was full of Aura. “I won’t lose!”

    Further back in the classroom, the Discipline Committee Member Cai Xiaoqing couldn’t bear it anymore.

    “You two, stop it, we’re in Evening Self-Study, don’t do these perverted things!”

    “She’s talking about you, Jiang Nian.” Nie Qiqi said righteously.

    “So what?”

    “You!” Nie Qiqi was instantly furious. “You just wait, I’ll definitely be the one to get the Class Monitor’s paper first. Ah! Take your dirty hands off the Class Monitor’s paper!”

    Jiang Nian glanced at Li Qingrong, she didn’t seem to react. Forget it, better not mess around anymore, if he made the Class Monitor angry, it would be over.

    So he honestly took his hand away and turned around.

    Seeing this, a trace of confusion appeared in Li Qingrong’s eyes.

    Does he not like the answer sheet?

    Thinking of this, she lowered her head and stared at the Comprehensive Science answer sheet, lost in thought.

    During the third period, Zhang Ningzhi counted on her fingers and added up her Comprehensive Science score. Finally discovering it was only two hundred fifty-something, she was suddenly a bit depressed.

    She didn’t want to become a two-fifty.

    She turned her head to look at the score of the thieving cat; Jiang Nian was immediately alert, hiding it and refusing to let her see.

    Hmph, stingy cat!

    “What’s your chemistry score?” She asked.

    “White.”

    “What?” Zhang Ningzhi was dumbfounded.

    “Oh, oh, I thought you were asking me if I like black silk or white silk.” Jiang Nian had a look of sudden realization. “What did you just say?”

    Zhang Ningzhi: “.”

    Who could such a childish trick fool?

    “This guy has been hiding it ever since the biology papers were handed out this afternoon.” Li Hua looked at Jiang Nian, who was sandwiched in the middle, and revealed a smug smile.

    “What’s the use of being secretive? The scores for all six subjects need to be registered tonight, I can admire them for three periods of Evening Self-Study.”

    Hearing this, Jiang Nian didn’t have much expression on his Face.

    A jerk like Li Hua, every time exam results came out, had to repeatedly study the grade sheet.

    The conclusion was always, if Jiang Nian’s English score was moved to me, then he would slap his thigh hard, fantasizing about Old Liu bowing and pouring tea for him.

    “My scores aren’t worth looking at, aren’t they just the same as always?” Jiang Nian said vaguely, pressing the Comprehensive Science answer sheet to the bottom of his desk drawer. “Forget it, let it go.”

    Zhang Ningzhi was very dissatisfied, thinking this was unfair.

    She had already been seen through by Jiang Nian, why couldn’t she see his? He was hiding it, she hadn’t been that stingy, and she would see Jiang Nian’s scores sooner or later anyway.

    “Let me see.” She directly reached out her hand.

    “Huh? You’re being a bit overbearing.”

    “If you don’t let me see, I won’t bring you food anymore.” Zhang Ningzhi’s little Face tightened. “Stingy ghost, you only deserve to drink cold water.”

    “Actually, I quite like drinking cold water, Master Kong’s boiled water is pretty good.” Jiang Nian was still stalling, not very willing to reveal his Comprehensive Science score.

    Brother Ma Yun, please, I beg you to shut down Comprehensive Science.

    Shut it down, shut it down, it must be shut down! If Comprehensive Science isn’t shut down, brother won’t have any Face left.

    “Give it to me.” Zhang Ningzhi reached her hand forward.

    Jiang Nian was somewhat reluctant, coughed once, and handed the answer sheet to Zhang Ningzhi.

    “I’m not doing this for the food, just because we have a good relationship. As long as you can play with me, I’m willing no matter how much money I spend on you.”

    “Okay.” Zhang Ningzhi didn’t listen carefully, took Jiang Nian’s answer sheet, and glanced at it.

    Biology 80 is pretty good, it seems his biology enrichment classes really worked, Chemistry 72 is not bad, standard. Physics 68, hmm, at least he passed.

    So Jiang Nian’s total Comprehensive Science score is 220, averaging about 70 points per subject.

    No wonder he was hiding it; excluding Chinese, his current score is 487. If he gets one hundred points in Chinese, it’ll be almost 590; the hope is actually quite big.

    But Chinese, friends who have been to school know. For a 150-point total in Chinese, to get an excellent grade, besides having a good foundation, you can only rely on luck.

    In most cases, Chinese scores are like opening a blind box.

    After looking, Zhang Ningzhi didn’t know what to say.

    Her little brain was frantically recalling the scenes of scoring low in Comprehensive Science in the past and how she had managed to overcome it.

    In an instant, Zhang Ningzhi started to struggle. Should she chat with him on QQ after going home at night to guide him? Or should she say some comforting words now?

    Jiang Nian felt his arm being poked, subconsciously turned his head, ready to hear the little girl’s Heaven-Defying comforting remarks.

    “You don’t have to feel inferior?”

    “???”

    Your comforting is great, next time I’ll do it myself.

    Originally, the seat change was supposed to be on the weekend, but because yesterday was the Joint Exam, there was no Evening Self-Study. So the time for changing seats was moved to Monday, which is this afternoon.

    Zeng You was in a good mood, looking forward to the seat change with full anticipation.

    He had been sitting in the first seat against the wall by the classroom door for a week. Every time he read a novel during self-study, he was terrified, so much so that his reading time last week had shrunk significantly.

    After class, they would change seats, and the seating arrangement would collectively shift backward.

    This way, he could read novels against the wall again; as long as he was careful, he could read to his heart’s content. The Joint Exam was over, he would just read until the sky turned dark!

    Yu Tongjie was somewhat numb; he watched Jiang Nian, who didn’t get along with him, flirting everywhere, and he felt uncomfortable all over. But after changing seats, he would have to go to the second group.

    In this way, he would be even further from Li Qingrong.

    Before the exam, he had made full preparations and was full of confidence that he could score six hundred points. Now, with only the Chinese score not yet released, his dream of six hundred points was completely shattered.

    He had endured for a month, buying online courses for English and Comprehensive Science to study crazily.

    He even deliberately didn’t pay attention to Li Qingrong, burying his head in hard work. In ancient times there was sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, today there is Yu Tongjie’s endurance; everything was going smoothly, but unexpectedly, the books were gone right before the exam.

    In the end, setting aside Chinese, he only scored 450, unless he got 150 in Chinese.

    Now it all depends on the essay, the essay he poured his heart and blood into!
