Xie Xiao peeked through the crack in the door and saw that the three people had actually taken out yellow paper and cinnabar and started drawing talismans.
It's really surreal. The top student in the grade doesn't study science, but instead goes into feudal superstition.
After thinking for a moment, she decided not to disturb the three people and quietly left.
When it was time for afternoon classes, Mingzhuo and two other people walked into the classroom.
She handed Xie Xiao a talisman folded into a triangle, saying, "This is a peace charm for you."
Xie Xiao was startled, instantly realizing that the other party had discovered her spying at noon.
She instinctively caught the amulet and stood up tremblingly. "I...I just wanted to ask you how to do this problem?"
She thought to herself, "I'm doomed. Will the big boss be angry?"
Mingzhuo glanced at the question and began to explain it. Of course, it was impossible for her to explain the question to Pei Di, because she was used to skipping the basics and going straight to the key points. The two were not on the same wavelength, and Pei Di would only feel that she was talking in a foreign language.
Xie Xiao was a top student after all. Although she only managed to get sixth place in her class this time, she still understood the explanation and even had a sudden realization. She wondered if it could be done this way.
This problem-solving approach looks very advanced!
Xie Xiao quickly picked up a pen and started solving the problem following this line of thought. The parts that had been blocking her way suddenly became smooth.
Mingzhuo glanced at her, smiled, told her to put the amulet away, and turned back to his seat.
Xie Xiao opened her palm and looked at the amulet. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The big boss wasn't angry and even gave her a talisman. It was probably a sign of goodwill.
She carefully put the amulet away and placed it in her pocket, thinking to herself, "So be it if it's superstition. People say that the end of science is theology."
It might actually protect me...
——
In the afternoon, Mingzhuo and Li Wenhe went to see the results of the Olympiad selection.
As soon as she reached the bulletin board, she saw Cheng Jingru and Cheng Jinghao standing outside the crowd.
Cheng Jinghao had a dark expression, and his eye bags looked even heavier than they had a couple of days ago. Even standing in the spring sunshine, he looked incredibly sinister and somewhat frightening.
His classmates all stood away from him, feeling that he looked like a criminal who could break the law and hurt people at any moment.
Cheng Jinghao said impatiently, "Didn't you say it was foolproof? How could this happen?"
Cheng Jingru pursed her lips. "I didn't expect that even though Chu Yuqi is so powerful, she still couldn't break the curse."
During the last audition, in a room full of mirrors, she suddenly noticed something was off about one of the girls. Despite being left-handed, she suddenly became normal, and even the details of the lace on her clothes were wrong, as if they were mirrors...
Fortunately, she was observant and noticed something was wrong immediately. She dodged the female ghost's attack and held out until Chu Yuqi arrived.
Cheng Jingru is still afraid to look in the mirror when she thinks about it now, and she also has unwavering faith in Chu Yuqi, who eliminated the female ghost.
The other party is truly skilled; after watching every episode of her fortune-telling live stream, I became even more convinced of this.
Cheng Jingru stopped talking when she saw Ming Zhuo.
Cheng Jinghao suddenly seemed to be enraged. He looked at Ming Zhuo with resentment. It was all because of this person that his luck had been affected!
"What are you doing here?" Cheng Jinghao asked coldly, mockingly. "Did you come to see how you make a fool of yourself?"
Pei Di immediately exploded, rolling up his sleeves as he asked, "Boss, should we take him down?"
Mingzhuo glanced at the teacher posting the grades and the students crowding around him, "Let's just forget about it."
Cheng Jingru couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief; thankfully, Mingzhuo still valued their past relationship.
The next second, Mingzhuo said, "Didn't you see the dark circles under his eyes, his brow, and how irritable and easily angered he was? It's obvious that he suffered a major setback in this monthly exam! I wonder if he even made it into the top 100 in the grade. Oh, no, he only got 36th in his class? In the middle to lower ranks of the whole grade? That's a huge step down."
“Useless!” Pei Di retorted.
Li Wenhe glanced at Cheng Jinghao sympathetically; look at him, his face was almost contorted with anger.
"Who the hell are you calling trash? You're last in the class, what right do you have to talk to me like that?" Cheng Jinghao roared in fury. "You're the trash, garbage, and pig-brained one! People like you are just wasting air by living in this world!"
The students in the second year of high school next to him were all looking at him with very complicated expressions.
They had come to terms with reality after a morning of brutal attacks.
Who would have thought that Ruan Mingzhuo was a hidden genius?
These past few days, some people have been spreading rumors that Cheng Jinghao's good upbringing from a scholarly family is all an act, and that he is essentially an impotent, raging, and irritable maniac. At the time, many people didn't believe it, thinking it couldn't be that bad.
Now it seems the rumors were indeed not unfounded.
Cheng Jingru also noticed the strange looks people were giving them. She tugged at Cheng Jinghao, "Brother, calm down, the teacher is still here."
She didn't think too much about it, but she felt a little annoyed. Cheng Jinghao was really dragging her down.
How will the students view the Cheng family in the future?
Cheng Jinghao suppressed his frustration, feeling that he had performed quite well during the Olympiad selection process.
The curse occurred after the exorcism, and his poor performance in the subsequent monthly exams was definitely influenced by the curse. He couldn't possibly have failed the Olympiad selection!
He pushed through the crowd, ready to use his Olympiad selection results to give Nguyen Minh Tho a resounding slap in the face!
His gaze instinctively fell on the very beginning, searching downwards, but two seconds later, he shifted his gaze to the top row, staring intently at that name, wishing he could burn the list apart with his eyes.
Li Wenhe was not surprised at all when he saw that the first name was Ming Zhuo, and even the other students in the second year of high school were used to it.
