Chapter 612 Lin Han's obsession Two more days passed, and the air in Mingde was filled with a sense of anxious anticipation.
The results of the joint entrance exam for the four private schools are finally about to be released.
As soon as the bell rang for morning reading, Yang Huihui rushed to Lin Han's seat with light steps, nudged her best friend's arm lightly with her elbow, and said with barely suppressed excitement, "Hanhan, I have a rumor that the first place in this joint exam is from Mingde! It's definitely you!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Han's fingers holding the pen paused slightly, and her expression, which had been as calm as a lake, finally rippled, her ears turning a light red.
She was overshadowed by Luo Shuning from Guangya for a whole year, always finishing second by a narrow margin in the joint exams, which she was always very unwilling to accept.
Yang Huihui knew her thoughts best. Seeing her fingertips unconsciously stroking the pen, she couldn't help but tease her with a smile: "How about it, Hanhan? You're so happy, aren't you? The homeroom teacher will be here to announce the grades in a bit. Aren't you so excited that you can't even concentrate on morning reading?"
Lin Han didn't hesitate. She looked up, smiled at her, and nodded gently: "I am somewhat looking forward to it."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undisguised joy.
Only Yang Huihui knew that she had been doing practice questions until the early hours of the morning every day for this joint exam, and had filled three thick notebooks with her mistakes. She even memorized formulas while eating. This hard work should have paid off long ago.
Yang Huihui patted her chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry! You'll definitely be number one!"
She never took Gu Luo's previous statement about "getting first place" seriously.
After all, Gu Luo has been embroiled in numerous scandals and frequently taking leave lately, which doesn't seem like he's focusing on his studies.
Even if their grades were very good before, they should have dropped by now, let alone getting first place.
Not long after, the homeroom teacher walked into the classroom with the report card, her smile wide and beaming.
Yang Huihui immediately nudged Lin Han with her elbow and whispered, "Look at how happy the homeroom teacher is, she's definitely happy for you! We're all set!"
All eyes were on the podium. The homeroom teacher cleared his throat, waved the report card, and announced, "Classmates, I have great news! In this joint exam of the four private schools, the first place has finally come from our class!"
As soon as she finished speaking, all eyes turned to Lin Han.
Lin Han subconsciously sat up straight, her back ramrod straight, a blush spreading across her cheeks, and even her breathing became lighter.
Yang Huihui clenched her fists in excitement, waiting to call out Lin Han's name.
"In this joint exam, two students in our class tied for first place!" The homeroom teacher paused, then read out the names with a smile:
"Lin Han, Gu Luo! Let's give them a round of applause!"
"Wow--"
Upon hearing that these were the two prominent figures, the whole class erupted in cheers, especially the little goddess, who gave thunderous applause.
Half of the gaze that was originally directed at Lin Han shifted to Gu Luo, filled with shock and disbelief.
No one expected that Gu Shen, who was "embroiled in scandals," would actually get first place in the exam.
Yang Huihui froze, her eyes wide open, with only one thought in her mind.
Gu Luozhen got first place? Then what about that bet she made earlier about being a "bed warmer"...?
Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed red instantly. Far from feeling embarrassed, she secretly smiled. This was... this was really... really wonderful!
Lin Han turned her head in surprise and met Gu Luo's gaze in the back row.
Gu Luo raised an eyebrow at her, a hint of a smile in his eyes. Lin Han nodded slightly in acknowledgment, her surprise slowly subsiding.
It turns out he wasn't joking last time.
As the applause in the classroom gradually subsided, Lin Han stood up and asked clearly, "Teacher, could you please tell me how many points Luo Shuning from Guangya got?"
She really wanted to know Luo Shuning's grades.
The homeroom teacher's smile faded slightly, replaced by an awkward expression.
She knew Luo Shuning too well; her name always held the top spot on the joint exam report cards.
After a few seconds of silence, she smiled and explained, "Sometimes, luck is also a part of ability. Luo Shuning didn't participate in this joint exam; I heard it's because of family reasons that she's temporarily taking a leave of absence from school."
Lin Han's shoulders slumped slightly, and the joy in her heart vanished instantly.
She pursed her lips, turned her head to look at the sunlight outside the window, and picked up her pen again.
"Hanhan... Even if Luo Shuning takes the test, she might not be able to beat you..." Yang Huihui was also stunned and didn't know how to comfort her.
She knew that Lin Han's obsession wasn't number one, but rather surpassed Luo Shuning's.
