Song Wenzhi, one of the three, was currently conflicted, frequently glancing at Yan Chiyu, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
The boy's cool, haloed gaze fell casually on the desk, his slender fingers resting naturally on it, allowing Tie Zhu to practice his arm strength.
Then, without raising his head, he said calmly, "Speak."
"that……"
Song Wenzhi smiled and said, "Brother Yan, it's like this. Tomorrow night is my grandfather's 70th birthday, and he asked me to invite you. Do you have time?"
After saying this, Song Wenzhi himself began to doubt whether he was still dreaming.
Why would Grandpa invite a younger person to his birthday banquet? Last night, Grandpa even said he would personally come to the school to invite him! What kind of talk is that! Luckily, he took on the task of making the invitation himself.
Yan Chiyu was his deskmate, so he had to handle the matter since they were so close.
"knew."
"Brother Yan, what does 'know' mean?" Song Wenzhi asked cautiously, his face flushed.
[Xiao Song is being humble online]
Hahaha, this kid was so arrogant when we first met!
Ahhh, Song Wenzhi's face is so handsome, I'm taking him away!
"I agree."
He had thought he would have to persuade Yan Chiyu, but to his surprise, Yan Chiyu agreed so readily. Song Wenzhi felt as if he had been struck by a windfall.
After all, last night his grandfather had been telling him in great detail how difficult it was to invite Yan Chiyu. He kept asking his grandfather what his relationship with Yan Chiyu was, but his grandfather just laughed it off and said they were friends.
What kind of friend? A close friend despite the age gap?
Song Wenzhi looked at Yan Chiyu and mustered up her courage to ask, "Brother Yan, you seem to know our family, the Que family, and the Qian family's grandfather very well. What's your relationship with them?"
After a moment of silence, the young man said softly, "Friend."
"What friend?" The answer he wanted to hear was not this ambiguous one at all.
But no matter what he asked after that, Yan Chiyu didn't want to answer anymore.
Song Wenzhi sighed inwardly.
...
Teachers' office.
Tan Wenjie figured out that the indigenous students in Class 18 wouldn't be able to do many questions, so she chose to grade the papers of the two transfer students first.
In less than ten minutes, she had finished grading both papers.
This was the first time in all her years as a teacher that she had graded papers so smoothly.
At the next desk, Yu Huicheng, the physics teacher for the experimental class, glanced at Tan Wenjie's serious face and teased, "What's wrong? Did Class 18's grades fall below the cutoff again?"
"no……"
Tan Wenjie shook her head, looked up, and said, "Do you remember those two transfer students you pushed into Lao Tao's class a couple of days ago? The two from Songcheng No. 5 Middle School."
"I remember, what's wrong?" Yu Huicheng nodded. He vaguely remembered them because they were good-looking. However, he didn't pay much attention to their grades.
Regardless, they will probably still be ranked outside the top 100 in their grade, just like their seniors from No. 5 Middle School.
Tan Wenjie's hand trembled slightly as she held the test paper. "Both of them got full marks on today's math test, the national mock test."
"Oh, just a perfect score. What! A perfect score?!"
Yu Huicheng slammed his hand on the table, spilling the tea from his cup. He was extremely surprised. "Really? No one in our class got a perfect score; the highest we lost was only one point."
The commotion attracted the attention of several teachers nearby.
"Could they be cheating?"
Tan Wenjie handed over the test paper. "At first, I also thought, and even suspected, that they might have cheated, otherwise how could they both get full marks... I couldn't be 100% sure about the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. I compared the problem-solving questions, and the solutions were different, simpler and easier to understand than the standard answers."
"No way?"
The teachers who had come to join the fun didn't believe it, and they all took the test papers to check them. After glancing at them a few times, their faces changed.
"There's a high chance... these two are a hidden gem..."
As Yu Huicheng wiped his phone, which was soaked with tea, a bitter feeling welled up inside him, and he felt quite depressed.
