Chapter 64 Vulnerability, what vulnerability?
A system that navigates and guides a low-visibility kitten by floating along, taking advantage of its invisible form: [?]
It slammed it twice on the kitten's head.
With a look of utter despair, he reminded her: "You've been sleeping all morning, okay?"
Why did a cat directly expose the flaw to Jiang Yingxu, as if afraid he wouldn't suspect anything?
What is this guy saying?.jpg
Shi Miao was so happy and proud that she accidentally let it slip.
Upon hearing this, the kitten jumped up and immediately started frantically patching the holes.
"I mean, I slept all morning, finally woke up, and found you weren't here, so I went out for a walk and bought some things..."
She tried her best not to show her guilt at the end of the note, but she still fell slightly.
The classroom was still a bit noisy, with people talking about their grades, Jiang Yingxu's perfect score, and the bet.
Teacher Peng was unusually ignoring things and seemed to be in a good mood, testing out the whiteboard markers.
Jiang Yingxu patted his leg, and after the kitten gathered its strength and jumped up, he gently stroked the fur of her bib with his fingertips and picked off the small pieces of leaves stuck in the long fur.
"Yes, there's a very lively pedestrian street outside Jiangda University, which is quite close to the dormitory building."
"Did it slip out of the bushes? There are a few small leaves stuck in its fur."
"Luckily, I bought you a shoulder strap so you can put your phone in it."
Vulnerability, what vulnerability?
Jiang Yingxu remained calm and covered the hole with a lump of cement.
"Is it fun outside?"
The kitten tilted its head and rubbed against his finger.
She was completely unaware of Jiang Yingxu's subtle, understated intentions. After thinking about her shopping haul, she happily hooked the tip of her tail around his wrist.
"Fun!"
Jiang Yingxu: "..."
Jiang Yingxu hummed again, as if it were just a casual remark, with a slight chuckle at the end of his voice.
"I think it would be a lot of fun, even though I've never seen it before."
Shi Miao was stunned for a moment.
Yes, Jiang Yingxu is busy with his studies and part-time jobs. He leaves before dawn and doesn't return until the early hours of the morning. He doesn't have time to go out and wander around.
The kitten felt pity for him and scratched at his wrist with its paws, making a serious promise.
"I'll take you out to play from now on!"
Jiang Yingxu curled his lips into a smile.
"good."
In the gradually quieting classroom, he spoke very softly.
Gentle and mild-mannered, and quite innocent.
"Thank you, meow meow."
-
Each competition class held an exam in the morning, and the teachers graded the papers urgently at noon to assess the students' abilities and facilitate subsequent classes.
During lunch break, rumors were circulating that someone had gotten a perfect score this time.
Nobody believes it.
In exams with compressed time, writing questions feels like being chased by a ghost; pausing for even a few seconds makes you sweat and feel guilty.
Given the urgency, the fact that someone can even finish the exam is enough for the competition participants to kneel down and call them a master.
A perfect score?
Even the teachers who set the questions would have a hard time!
"If I got a perfect score, I'd immediately slide down to my knees and kneel before that deity, claiming them as my parents and asking them to bless our country so we can win an award," said a student from a competitive class.
As a result, shortly after class started, first, there was a burst of applause and exclamations from the math competition classroom, followed by a roar of gasps from the physics competition classroom.
The other three classrooms' students in the competition: "..."
During the short break between classes, they even gave up their precious time to go to the toilet, rushing to the doors of the math and physics competition classrooms, calling out the names of their classmates and inquiring about the situation.
The math competition organizers said, "A girl from Ningcheng No. 1 High School scored 56 out of a possible 63!"
"I just didn't have enough time, so I didn't finish the last question, but my approach and process were correct."
He added, "There was another boy in their school who scored 55. The highest score was 52 in Fuze from Jiangda Affiliated High School."
"Is Ningcheng No.1 High School really that strong in the math competition this year? The girl who was rumored to have gotten a perfect score is probably that girl."
"With such a tight schedule, they only lost a few points. If they had another half hour, they probably could have gotten full marks."
"How does it get its brain? Are there any remedies? I want one too..."
I haven't finished expressing my feelings yet.
A deafening "Holy crap!" came from the physics competition classroom.
"Survival of the fittest! Jiang Yingxu from Ningcheng No.1 Middle School!"
The boy who had shouted jumped onto a nearby chair, as excited as if he himself had achieved the score. He waved his arm, and his booming voice echoed throughout the corridor, "320 out of 100!!!"
Students competing in other subjects: "!!!"
The math competition student, still marveling, exclaimed: "?!?!"
Like the wind, within two minutes, Jiang Yingxu's name had spread throughout every classroom.
"Really a perfect score?!"
"Has Ningyi High School gone mad? So many geniuses this year?"
"Getting a perfect score in just two hours... reminds me of a saying: 'A top student gets 320 because the maximum score is only 320'..."
"If I were competing in physics, I'd be completely out of ideas. What would I use to compete?"
"Hey, classmate, you're from Ningyi High School too, right? Is Jiang Yingxu always this good?"
"..."
Most of the students were still simple and passionate. They were even more excited than Jiang Yingxu himself when they heard that they had achieved a perfect score. They had a magical feeling that "a genius is right next to me".
If it weren't for the short breaks between classes and the dizziness and blurred vision during class, I would definitely be like a fan, crowding the entrance of the Physics Competition classroom to catch a glimpse of the perfect scorer.
The atmosphere in the upstairs office was somewhat stagnant.
It should have been class time, but Luo Siming was standing in front of his desk, head down, his face full of resentment.
In fact, neither Jiang Yingxu nor Teacher Peng said anything sarcastic, and no one even reminded him about the bet.
But it was this indifferent attitude, as if he were dealing with nothing at all, that drove Luo Siming to the brink of madness.
He grabbed the exam paper and rushed out of the classroom, only to be dragged into the office by a flustered Qualcomm executive.
Gao Tong, the teacher in charge of the physics competition group at the affiliated high school, explained the situation to Principal Hao behind the desk in a low voice.
He looked embarrassed and admitted that he hadn't been strict enough with Luo Siming because of his talent and achievements.
Even if someone complained to him that Luo Siming often said sarcastic things in the competition class, he just thought it was just youthful arrogance.
"Principal, Siming's grades are indeed outstanding. Apart from Jiang Yingxu from Ningyi Middle School, he has the highest score in the physics competition group..."
Principal Hao raised his hand to stop Qualcomm from pleading for leniency.
She took off her silver-rimmed glasses, looked at Luo Siming, and asked gently, "What do you think?"
People like Luo Siming never think they are wrong; if they encounter any setbacks, they always assume that someone else is at fault.
Qualcomm remained silent, unable to maintain his act of repentance any longer.
He raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment.
“Principal, I’m no worse than him! How could he possibly get a perfect score in such a short time? I suspect he got the test paper in advance through some means!”
Principal Hao: "Oh? What evidence led you to this conclusion?"
Luo Siming straightened his back and said confidently, "I checked Teacher Peng's Baidu Encyclopedia. She and Teacher Lei, who led the team from Ningyi Middle School, were alumni of the same university. People from Ningyi Middle School also said that Teacher Lei values Jiang Yingxu the most. So, it must be that he wanted to promote Jiang Yingxu and specially asked Teacher Peng for the test paper!"
Principal Hao smiled.
"So, it's all just your one-sided speculation, without any evidence whatsoever?"
Luo Siming panicked, "Is there any need to think about it? It must be like this!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Reid walked in with a grin. He had a square face, broad shoulders, and thick arms, and an air of fierceness that seemed out of place in the school environment.
He pulled out a chair and sat down casually, ignoring Luo Siming's evasive gaze.
"Principal Hao, what brings you here?"
Principal Hao: "You must be aware of the bet between this child and your student."
Red feigned ignorance: "A bet? What bet?"
"I've been busy looking for a restaurant where you can treat me, Principal Hao, so I haven't really paid attention."
He patted the table, making a loud bang, and looked at Luo Siming with a kind expression. "Excuse me, could you please repeat that?"
Luo Siming: "..."
Luo Siming, speaking in a barely audible voice, recounted the bet agreement.
Reid: "Oh, you suggested that?"
Luo Siming: "..."
Reid: "What do you mean now? You called me over so I can witness this student being kicked out of the training camp?"
He emphasized the word "get out"—a word spoken by Ross Mining with malice.
Reid pretended not to notice the change in expression on Ross and Qualcomm's faces and laughed heartily.
"Principal Hao, you're too kind. But this matter can't be handled by me alone. At least we need to call the parties involved, right?"
"Yingxu has to attend class, so he can't just come out whenever he wants! How about this, I think it'll be perfect after class, it won't cause any problems, just make him get out at that time!"
get out of class dismissed?
Not only Jiang Yingxu saw it, but everyone in the entire training camp could see it.
Qualcomm quickly interjected, "Mr. Lei, Siming was in the wrong, but he's still young. Could you perhaps..."
"Young? They're all high school students, how much of a difference could there be?"
Reid suddenly stood up, not bothering to ask what the consequences would be if Jiang Yingxu had lost today, and simply said calmly:
"All I know is that a child who steals a needle will steal gold when he grows up."
"If he dared to do something like this when he was young, he'll only be more outrageous when he grows up."
"Teacher Gao, don't you really think there's something wrong with your teaching philosophy? Since when has academic performance been able to supersede all moral character and ethics?"
"..."
Qualcomm blushed and remained silent.
Principal Hao slammed the pen cap shut, looked at Luo Siming who still looked dissatisfied, and shook his head.
The notification was issued in a gentle tone.
"Then let's leave it at that."
“When get out of class ends at six o’clock, go apologize to Jiang and then withdraw from the training camp.”
"This is a promise you made yourself, so you must keep it."
She had given him many chances since he walked in.
If Luo Siming had felt even a little remorse and repentance, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
