Chapter 408 Tenth Update

"That's a long way off."

The older brother is in the top 50 in his grade, and the younger sister is third from the bottom.

"I didn't expect that Yu Kaixin, who looked so well-behaved, pure and cute, turned out to be a complete idiot. And some people even compared her to Sister Yue? But please stop! Jiang Han even did better than her on the test."

Jiang Han: “?” Don’t I have any face?

"I think she studies very hard, so why did she do so poorly on the test?"

"When it comes to studying, it's not like you'll be rewarded just for your hard work. Some people just lack that little bit of understanding, and no matter how hard they try, they just can't learn."

"That's right. There's no necessary correlation between grades and diligence. I've seen Sister Yue sleeping on her desk several times when I passed by the back door of Class 3, yet she still got full marks on the monthly exam. Oh, and she even handed in her paper early."

Everyone once again looked at the first place with envy and admiration.

I can't even feel jealous.

Because it's too far.

When a person is fifty meters in front of you, you may stare at him without blinking; but when he is one thousand meters away from you, all you can do is watch him go by and admire his back.

People are often accustomed to comparing themselves with people who are similar to themselves, but are intimidated by people who are far better than themselves and not on the same level.

…

In Class 7 of Grade 2, everyone ran to look at the list, and the classroom seemed a little empty.

As soon as the bell rang, Zhong Ziang lay down on the desk and fell asleep.

I played games too late and I’m so sleepy.

Yi Ci, who was diagonally opposite, was in the same state. The two gods of sleep were competing against each other in the air. There was no such thing as the sleepiest, only more sleepy.

"Brother Ci! Brother Ci! Go check the list—"

A little dog ran in excitedly, ignoring the big devil's bad temper when waking up, and happily shook the person awake.

Yi Ci raised his head, but couldn't open his eyes: "?"

Did I give you face?

The puppy's legs and neck shrank. "Really? Go check it out. There's a surprise! A huge surprise!"

"Hmm?" Yi Ci sobered up a little and asked him, "Where did Jiang Fuyue rank in the exam?"

"Ah?" Is there any need to ask?

"Ah what? Answer!"

"Oh! Sister Yue is still number one in the grade, uh...full marks in all subjects."

Yi Ci nodded: "That's quite a surprise."

"This is not the surprise I'm talking about." Little Dog Legs explained quickly.

Yi Ci wasn't very interested, so he casually leaned back on the table and asked, "What is that?"

"Oh! You'll know when you go and see for yourself!"

"Tsk, are you still keeping us in suspense? Okay, let's take a look." Now completely awake, Yi Ci stood up.

Sudden--

"Are you sick? You're yelling and screaming, and you won't let me sleep?!" Zhong Ziang was successfully woken up. He was furious, and his red eyes were full of hostility.

Yi Ci sneered and crossed his arms: "The classroom is yours? What's wrong with yelling?"

Zhong Ziang slammed his hand on the table, the sound was deafening: "Yi Ci, if you want to fight, just say so!"

"Fight me if you want! Who's afraid of who?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Gou Gou Tui stepped forward with his head held high, trying to mediate, "Brother Ci, calm down, and Brother Ang, calm down too. That...surprise belongs to both of you, why don't you go and see it together?"

Yi Ci: "?" Isn't it mine? How come there are two of us?

Zhong Ziang: “?” What does it have to do with me?

There was an eerie silence around the two of them for two seconds, and then—

"See it, go now!"

Zhong Ziang curled his lips: "Whoever doesn't go will be a jerk."

The two of them rushed to the front line of the red list with high spirits and courage.

"...What about the surprise?"

The dog-legged man endured the gazes of the two big men and pointed at the list with a trembling finger: "There, there."

The two of them looked over and found nothing except densely packed names and scores.

Instead, they all took a few more glances at Jiang Fuyue and the "750" score behind his name.

Seeing that the two hadn't noticed, Doglegs was getting anxious. He pushed through the crowd, walked to the front, pointed at a place in the middle of the list, and poked it twice: "Here!"

Then--

Yi Ci saw his name, ranking: 326.

Zhong Ziang also saw his own name, followed by the number 326, which was exactly the same as the ranking of the person in front of him.

The two turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other: Humph!

Yi Ci: "You got the same score as me?!"

Zhong Ziang: "Then you are ranked the same as me!"

That look of disgust was as if he was treating someone like an enemy.

Little Dog Legs: You two are always at the bottom of the list, and now you’ve ranked more than 300th. Shouldn’t you be ecstatic?

The boss’s thoughts were hard to guess, so he just slipped away.

Yi Ci: "Next time I will definitely be in front of you."

Zhong Ziang: "It's still uncertain who will be in front and who will be behind!"

Their eyes met, and they turned around at the same time and walked in opposite directions.

However, the moment he turned around——

Yi Ci's mouth curled up: "Holy crap! More than 300 people, this is awesome!"

Zhong Ziang was secretly delighted: "Oh my god! This is a highlight moment. For the first time in my life, I'm not counting down."

The little dog legs hiding in the crowd: “?”

The afternoon and evening self-study sessions became special sessions for reviewing test papers in various subjects.

Jiang Fuyue didn't want to listen and asked for leave directly.

Xu Jing waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Why would someone with perfect scores listen to a review? It's good enough that she didn't go up to give one.

So, when everyone stayed in the classroom to attend class, Jiang Fuyue, who was about to leave with her schoolbag, had the misfortune to run into the sight of the head teacher Zhao Tiejun.

"The one in front with the schoolbag and black sneakers! I'm talking about you! Stop!"

Jiang Fuyue: “?”

Zhao Tiejun caught up with him, got in front and blocked him: "Which class are you from--" Uh!

"Jiang Fuyue?! Why is it you?"

The girl nodded: "It's me."

"Where are you going during class time?" Zhao Tiejun glanced at the schoolbag in her hand.

"I'm going home on leave."

"What happened?"

"No," she shook her head. "Marking the test papers is too boring. I can't sit still."

“…Huh? Oh.”

This "Ah" was to express his surprise at hearing such a straightforward statement for the first time in all his years as the dean of studies.

Then he said "Oh" as if he recognized who the person in front of him was, and felt that it was natural.

Jiang Fuyue looked at him and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Zhao Tiejun moved his lips and uttered after a long pause: "...Be careful on the road."

"Okay." Jiang Fuyue left happily.

…

In the evening, Yutian Mansion.

As soon as Zhong Ziang got home, he put down his schoolbag and started looking for someone: "Auntie Liu, where is my uncle?"

"Huh?" Aunt Liu rushed out of the kitchen, thinking something urgent was going on. "My husband hasn't come back yet. Should I call him?!"

"Oh, I see..." Zhong Ziang felt a little disappointed, but he quickly regained his composure. "When will he be back?"

"How should I know? Is it urgent?"

Zhong Ziang waved his hand: "No hurry, no hurry."

After saying that, he fell into the sofa, took the remote control and turned on the TV.

Aunt Liu discovered that the young master seemed to be in a good mood today, and even when he was not playing games, he still had a smile on his face.

"What good thing happened?"

"Hehe..." Zhong Shi smiled foolishly, "I'm hungry. When do we eat?"

"immediately!"

After a hearty meal, Zhong Ziang left the dining room. For the first time, he did not go straight upstairs to his room, but stayed in the living room to watch TV.

He kept changing channels and was obviously not very interested in the content of the program, but he still insisted on not leaving.

Aunt Liu was amazed.

Normally at this time, the young master would be locked in his room playing games.

At night, Xie Dingyuan had not returned yet, and Liu Ma was already drowsy.

Zhong Ziang: "You should go and have a rest."

"Okay, I'll go take a nap first. The food is on the stove. I'll get up and make it when my husband comes back."

The hour hand points to nine o'clock.

Zhong Ziang's patience is running out.

He decided to wait for another ten minutes. It would be up to him to reply or not. If not, then forget it!

Ten minutes later——

Wait ten more minutes, the last time!

Ten minutes later—

Forget it, I’ve waited for so long, I might as well keep waiting.

Finally, around ten o'clock or almost eleven o'clock, the sound of the living room door being unlocked came from the door.

Zhong Ziang stood up suddenly.

Xie Dingyuan was taken aback when he saw him. He glanced at the on TV, the dented sofa, and the pile of empty beverage bottles on the coffee table. "Are you waiting for me?"

"Who, who's waiting for you?" Zhong Ziang gulped and swallowed, "I'm watching TV!"

Xie Dingyuan: "Is the ad good?"

Zhong Ziang: "...It was just a TV series, not a commercial."

When Aunt Liu heard the noise, she got dressed and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

After a while, "Sir, the meal is ready."

"Yeah." Xie Dingyuan no longer cared about Zhong Ziang and walked into the dining room.

Zhong Ziang: “?” That’s it?

He followed him in angrily, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Xie Dingyuan.

"Uncle, I want to talk to you." Seriously.

"Don't watch the ads anymore?" Xie Dingyuan asked.

He didn't laugh, but Zhong Ziang could hear the mockery in his voice.

"……"knock!
