Chapter 52 I couldn't bear it

The next day, all the teachers went over the mock exam paper in class.

This mock exam covered a wide range of topics, covered all the key points, and was quite difficult. Some subjects, such as physics, required more than one class period to complete.

After the morning physics class, Lao Fan booked the last class in the afternoon with everyone in advance, saying that he would continue to teach physics, go over the test papers, and hold a short class meeting.

During the long break between classes, Zhou Chong went to Lao Fan's office.

Jiang Wan nodded knowingly and jokingly told him to hurry back.

Zhou Chong is probably going to submit his recommendation form. Next, he will prepare for the written and oral exams for the independent admissions program in March.

She couldn't fall too far behind him either; during this time, she needed to quickly recover to her previous level.

Thinking this, Jiang Wan took out the test paper and her notebook of wrong answers and began to sort out the wrong answers from this mock exam one by one.

She was engrossed in writing down her solution when she suddenly noticed a shadow looming over her.

Looking up, I saw Shi Leyao.

Shi Leyao, holding the test papers and notebooks, stood in front of Jiang Wan, gently biting her lower lip, her eyes filled with a hint of caution.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Wan put down her pen and tilted her head at her. "Did you need something?"

"Um, Jiang Wan, are you free now?" Shi Leyao nodded and pushed up her glasses. "I have a few math problems I don't understand. Could I ask you for help?"

"Of course, just wait a moment while I finish writing this line, then I'll help you with the question." Jiang Wan said, patting the empty seat next to Zhou Chong, "You can sit down first."

Shi Leyao hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to Zhou Chong's seat and sat down.

Jiang Wan finished writing the question in her hand, then looked up, turned around, and held out her hand to Shi Leyao, "Give me the test paper, which question?"

Shi Leyao spread out her math mock exam paper, flattened it on the table, moved it in front of Jiang Wan, and poked at the second-to-last big question with the tip of her pen, "This one."

Jiang Wan looked down and saw that the math teacher hadn't covered this problem in class yet. It was an analytical geometry problem, the principle of which wasn't difficult, but the form was quite flexible.

She switched to a different pencil and started drawing circles on the problem statement. "Actually, this problem is about finding the maximum or minimum value. Let's first look at the range of K..."

Shi Leyao rested her chin on her hand, listening attentively to Jiang Wan's explanation of the questions, nodding occasionally.

"That's it, understand?" Jiang Wan finished explaining the problem and tilted her head to look at Shi Leyao beside her.

"Yes, I understand." Shi Leyao nodded with a smile. "Jiang Wan, you explained it so clearly, much more carefully than Teacher Wang."

"No way!" Jiang Wan laughed and touched her nose. "You're just joking with me. Just don't let Teacher Wang hear you."

Mr. Wang is their math teacher. He used to coach competition students, so he explains problems very quickly and often skips over simple steps. Since the class is full of top students, he assumes that everyone can keep up with his pace.

Sun Qianyu used to complain to Jiang Wan a lot during math class, but fortunately, she could always ask Jiang Wan for help with the parts she didn't understand, and she gradually caught up.

For Jiang Wan in her previous life, Teacher Wang's lecturing pace was just right, and Teacher Wang's lecturing skills were truly excellent. The key and difficult points he elaborated on often gave her a sudden enlightenment.

However, after being reborn, Jiang Wan was initially not used to it. Although she could understand some of the knowledge points using advanced mathematics, she still put in a lot of effort.

Therefore, she now uses her high school math knowledge to thoroughly understand every problem, and her problem-solving process is exceptionally clear and meticulous.

"It's really clear. Now that you put it that way, this question doesn't seem difficult at all." Shi Leyao took back the test paper and redid it on the scratch paper.

Jiang Wan watched her work on the problem and nodded approvingly, "Yes, very well done."

Shi Leyao smiled shyly, "Thank you."

After she finished speaking, she was about to ask Jiang Wan for help with the next question when someone suddenly passed by and let out a bright, cold snort.

"Heh, Shi Leyao, what are you doing sitting here?" Chen Yuewei crossed her arms, frowning as she looked her over. "This is Zhou Chong's seat. Did he allow you to sit here?"

"I..." Shi Leyao hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Wan and said timidly, "I came to ask Jiang Wan a math question. I'll just sit here for a bit, it'll be quick..."

Jiang Wan patted Shi Leyao on the shoulder and took over the conversation, "I let her sit here, so what? Is it any of your business?"

Chen Yuewei shifted her gaze from Shi Leyao and turned to Jiang Wan, still with that inexplicably mocking look from last night.

Jiang Wan felt very uncomfortable watching this.

"I can't control it, but I'm just worried that Zhou Chong might mind." Chen Yuewei looked at Jiang Wan meaningfully, "Last time I sat here asking Zhou Chong a question, weren't you also very bothered?"

Can these be the same?

Jiang Wan was so angry she almost cursed in her mind.

After learning that Zhou Chong didn't like Chen Yuewei, she asked him about it and found out that Chen Yuewei had insisted on staying in her seat that day and pestered him to explain the problems to her without his permission.

Just then, Li Yang overheard this and turned around to say that he didn't understand the question either, asking Zhou Chong to explain it to him. Zhou Chong then explained the question to them as well.

After the explanation, Li Yang understood, but Chen Yuewei said she still didn't understand and kept pestering Zhou Chong to explain it to her in detail, which led to the scene that Jiang Wan later witnessed.

“Zhou Chong won’t mind.” Jiang Wan coldly looked back at Chen Yuewei. “If you’re so capable, go and complain to him and see what he has to say.”

Shi Leyao noticed the awkward atmosphere between Jiang Wan and Chen Yuewei and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "I only have one question I don't understand. I'll leave right away after I ask, it won't take up much time."

Jiang Wan looked away, too lazy to pay attention to Chen Yuewei anymore, and tugged at Shi Leyao's sleeve, "Ignore her, is there any question you don't understand? Let me see it."

"Uh-huh."

Shi Leyao moved the test paper over, intending to continue asking questions, when she suddenly heard Chen Yuewei's cold laugh again.

"Shi Leyao, you were fourth in the grade in the mock exam this time, why are you asking Jiang Wan math questions?" Chen Yuewei's lips curled up. "If I remember correctly, Jiang Wan didn't even make the top ten this time, aren't you afraid she'll mess you up?"

Jiang Wan was looking down at the exam paper, chuckling to herself.

Okay, okay, I knew it! All that going around in circles, it turns out this was what was waiting for me all along.

It has to be said that this kind of trick is really too childish.

Does Chen Yuewei really think that a few sarcastic remarks can provoke her into anger?

Please, I'm twenty-eight years old now.

Jiang Wan raised the corners of her mouth and calmly looked up. Before she could say anything, she heard Shi Leyao's slightly excited voice beside her.

"Jiang Wan only didn't do well in the science section this time. She scored 147 points in math. No one except Zhou Chong scored higher in math than her. Moreover, she explains math problems exceptionally well. You just didn't have the chance to hear her explain them."

Jiang Wan paused for a moment, then slowly turned to look at Shi Leyao.

Her fair and delicate face turned even paler in an instant, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes behind her glasses were filled with mist, yet her gaze was unusually firm.

Jiang Wan felt a pang of pity. This obedient girl, who always spoke softly and gently, had actually stood so bravely in front of her.

She couldn't bear to let Shi Leyao face Chen Yuewei's malice for her.

"Chen Yuewei." Jiang Wan said in a deep voice, casting a disdainful glance at her, "Whether I made it into the top ten or not has nothing to do with you, the fifth from the bottom in the class."

Chen Yuewei's expression changed slightly.

“You,” Jiang Wan raised her hand, her slender, jade-like fingers held horizontally in the air, “do you even have the right to point fingers at Shi Leyao?”
