"Feel sorry……"
Ji Yuzhi was interrupted several times, and his drowsiness vanished completely.
He ran his fingers through his hair haphazardly, got out of bed, opened the curtains, and went into the bathroom.
Completely ignoring the phone that was still ringing behind him.
Zhen Tian was drowsy during class.
Last night she played Ludo with Ji Yuzhi until midnight, so naturally she was yawning all the time today.
"Zhen Tian, Zhen Tian, the college entrance exam results are out!" Ye Qingyan teased her relentlessly.
"Huh? So fast!" Zhen Tian instantly snapped out of her daze.
"You bet the inquiry system is about to explode right now," Ye Qingyan exclaimed. "You should ask your Ji Yuzhi how many points he got."
"Oh, oh." Zhen Tian suddenly stood up from her seat.
"Zhen Tian? Is something the matter?" The English teacher raised her glasses.
"Ah, I..." After standing up, she realized that she had forgotten that she was in class.
Ye Qingyan quickly stood up and pulled her onto her lap, saying loudly, "Teacher, her stomach hurts, I want to take her to the infirmary."
Zhen Tian instantly understood what she meant. Although she was a little shy, she still echoed, "Yes, teacher, I feel unwell."
The English teacher, also a woman, felt like she understood.
"Go, and come back soon."
"Okay, teacher."
Ye Qingyan winked at Yuan Yuan, signaling her to find a chance to sneak out later.
Not long after the two left, Yuan Yuan raised her hand and said she needed to use the restroom, then went to catch up with the two people.
...
Ji Yuzhi came out of the bathroom and casually fiddled with his phone. There were more than a dozen missed calls.
He found Zhen Tian's number and dialed it.
"Just you!" The call was answered instantly.
"What's wrong? Aren't you in class?" He was drying his hair with a towel.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you checked your college entrance exam results yet?" Zhen Tian was even more nervous than him. She kept chattering, "The results are out now, and a lot of people are sharing their scores online. You should check them quickly."
"No rush." He slowly switched his grip on the phone. "The school will let me know."
Unlike other schools, schools don't need to check students' grades themselves; the education bureau will call them.
"No, no, I'm in a hurry." Zhen Tian paced back and forth. "Send me your exam admission ticket number, I'll check it for you, hurry up!"
She hung up the phone immediately.
Ji Yuzhi shook his head helplessly and sent it to her as requested.
"Here it comes." Yuan Yuan and Ye Qingyan both craned their necks to look at the phone in Zhen Tian's hand.
"We're still missing the ID number." Ye Qingyan was also quite anxious; she felt like she was witnessing history.
Zhen Tian didn't say anything, but instead quickly entered the numbers.
"You memorized it?" Yuan Yuan asked in surprise.
"Um."
The first attempt failed due to network issues.
The second time, the username and password were incorrect.
The third time, the network was not connected.
As expected, the website was difficult to access.
None of the three were discouraged. They squatted in the corridor outside the toilet and tried again and again.
It's probably because the three people were sincere that the magic worked. It wasn't as exaggerated as some people online said; I tried hundreds of times but still couldn't get in.
On her seventh try, the page started redirecting.
Zhen Tian felt like her heart was in her throat.
"How many, how many, how many!" Ye Qingyan unconsciously repeated to herself.
"Aaaaaaah!"
The earth-shattering screams of the three girls filled the entire building.
Ji Yuzhi had just hung up the phone and hung the towel on the balcony to dry when he received a call from Zhen Tian's fourth uncle, Lu Xian.
"Brother Xian".
Zhen Tian's uncles are not much older than her, so Ji Yuzhi didn't follow Zhen Tian's way of addressing them but called them "brother" directly.
"Yuzhi, you're really something."
Ji Yuzhi was speechless. If Lu Xian's laughter hadn't been practically overflowing from the phone, he would have thought he'd been threatened.
Without waiting for his reply, Lu Xian continued, "I have firsthand information here. You've really brought honor to our province. Provincial champion, no, you could say you're the national science champion."
"743 points! You've broken the national college entrance examination score record!"
"Looks like my year-end bonus is all thanks to you."
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Lu Xian was still chattering on his phone, unable to hide his joy even though he was usually so composed. Ji Yuzhi was still a bit too inexperienced; he couldn't help but smile after hearing the results.
"I'm not going to say anything more, hurry up and tell everyone the good news. I've been holding back to give this opportunity to you." Before making the call, Lu Xian's hand hovered in the family group chat for a long time, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
When Zhen Tian, Ye Qingyan, and Yuan Yuan saw the score of 743, their minds went blank and all they could do was scream.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know!"
"Are these girls crazy?"
Aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of the director?
The three girls huddled together, screaming incessantly.
"Absolutely incredible!" Ye Qingyan wiped away the tears of shock from the corners of her eyes. "Quickly, check the scores for each subject."
Yuan Yuan took Zhen Tian's phone because that girl had gone mad.
"English 150, Math 150, Chinese 147, Science 296."
"Holy crap, amazing!" Ye Qingyan exclaimed in utter admiration. "I just want to know how this little idiot managed to meet such a perfect childhood sweetheart. I'm so jealous."
"What are those students over there doing?"
The director may be late, but he will never be absent.
The principal, who always carried a stun gun on his waist to intimidate people, walked over: "Which class are you from? What are you yelling about in the hallway? Do you want to get punished?"
"Director, I'm so sorry, we got too excited." Ye Qingyan stepped forward and pointed to Zhen Tian: "Her brother scored 743 points on the college entrance exam, we got so excited that we forgot ourselves."
Under the director's suspicious gaze, Yuan Yuan obediently handed her phone to the director to look at.
"It really is!" the director muttered, wondering which school was so amazing. The principal must be ecstatic. He looked again and exclaimed, "Ji Yuzhi... Ji Yuzhi? Holy crap, Ji Yuzhi?"
The director has gone mad; aren't these kids from their school?
"Yes, teacher, it's Ji Yuzhi."
No one exposed that the director had sworn at someone.
"All done, all done, year-end bonus secured." The director completely forgot about the three children in front of him and headed straight for the principal's office.
When he went inside, he found the principal, who was already ecstatic.
It took only half a day from the release of Ji Yuzhi's results to the entire city knowing about them.
In just half a day, the students of No. 1 Middle School recovered from their shock and began to feel smug.
H City even trended on Weibo because of this, after all, the top science student in the country is something the whole country is paying attention to.
Zhen Tian had no interest in studying in the afternoon and finally made it to the end of the school day.
She bumped into Ji Yuzhi as soon as she stepped out the door.
"Ahhhhh, just one, just one, just one!"
"Just talk, why are you making mouse noises?" Ji Yuzhi teased her, but held her tightly in his arms.
"Zhizhi, you're the top scorer! Ahhhhh!" She pounced on him.
