The school attached great importance to this mock exam, so all the teachers had worked overtime to mark and count the test papers before the event.

"Xia Ruoming, 685 points, first in the school."

When Xiao Qinghan announced Xia Ruoming's score for the mock exam, the entire classroom was deathly silent.

Even Xiao Qinghan herself did not expect this result. She knew that Xia Ruoming's English was already at a full score and that she would definitely have another small breakthrough in this exam, but she did not expect such a big surprise.

Although the Education Bureau has clearly stipulated that no ranking of student grades is allowed, it is almost impossible to actually implement it. Schools have ten thousand ways to circumvent it, so these are nothing but empty talk.

685 points is much higher than the scores of many science students, which means it is only a matter of time before Xia Ruoming becomes the provincial champion in liberal arts.

"Hey, Wang Sheng, what did you say before the exam? Shouldn't a grown man keep his word?" A girl with a hairpin said in a teasing tone, and the classroom was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"What did he say? How come I don't know?" the girl sitting next to her asked her in a low voice.

"It's none of your business!" Wang Sheng's face flushed red, as if he was going to explode at any time. Originally, his grades in the class were among the best. When Xia Ruoming was Xu Fengwu's bootlicker, he could often mock her about it. However, ever since Xia Ruoming broke up, his grades could not compare with Xia Ruoming, and the girls he liked all pursued Xia Ruoming. His whole face turned red.

"Oh, you still have a temper. Why weren't you so angry when you laughed at Sister Ruoming before?"

Wang Sheng just gritted his teeth in hatred and didn't say anything back.

"The principal has arranged for you to represent our class in tomorrow's event. You should prepare well." Xiao Qinghan said to Xia Ruoming when she approached the podium.

"Okay." Xia Ruoming didn't seem to care. After all, she didn't need the connections of the so-called outstanding senior Jiang Huaiyun. She already had her own network of connections "from the future", as well as some young masters from aristocratic families who were useful to her. She also had some small leverage over them in her hands, which would definitely come in handy at the critical moment.

This kind of boring activity usually involves pushing outstanding students to the stage, taking photos with seniors, and then each student making a bowl of toxic chicken soup for other students.

But there's nothing wrong with making some friends.

Then Xia Ruoming took the test paper with a smile on her face and walked back to her seat in a manner that looked a little bit annoying.

I have to admit, there is a little bit of pleasure in slapping an idiot in the face.

Although there was no verbal attack, the mocking look was the greatest humiliation.

Whether it was Chu Suhe, Ji Chuan, or He Ya, they were all happy for Xia Ruoming from the bottom of their hearts.

Except Xu Fengwu.

The moment she learned about Xia Ruoming's grades, the pen in her hand fell to the ground.

Xu Fengwu has been working very hard. Originally, her grades were better than Xia Ruoming's, and the difference could even be said to be huge. She thought that since she worked so hard, even if Xia Ruoming's grades could make a comeback, she would not be left too far behind.

Who would have known that when she still had to be extremely careful to get into Zhejiang University, Xia Ruoming's goal had already become to become the top scorer.

Moreover, Xia Ruoming was already firmly holding the top scholar's crown in her hand. As long as she didn't throw it away, no one could snatch it away.

There is a genius here, and his like is hard to find in the world.

She was anxious, even more anxious than when Xia Ruoming proposed to break up the relationship.

In fact, in the past, one of the important reasons why Xu Fengwu didn't like Xia Ruoming was because of her grades. In her heart, the person who was worthy of her didn't necessarily have to be better than herself, but at least had to be on equal footing with her.

Because of her noble status and because she is too outstanding, this is the pride that comes with her status, and how can people who are not in it understand? Although Xu Fengwu is a little immature, she has always been instilled by the tea art masters around her with the idea that stories of rich girls falling in love with poor boys almost only appear in novels and TV dramas, and even if they are reluctantly together, so what, they will still separate within ten years, so her prejudice against being well-matched is deeper than some people who have been adults for many years.

"She used to be...was she really so outstanding? She did it just for me..." Xu Fengwu already felt that she was a little dazed. She even thought that maybe the past was just a dream. How could someone lose such an outstanding person who treated her well unconditionally and was willing to protect her even if her future would be affected?

She had thought about it countless times in her heart. As long as Xia Ruomeng confessed to her again, she would accept it no matter what...

But...will there be a next time...

In the past, Xia Ruoming had the unreachable moon in her eyes.

Now, Xia Ruoming’s eyes are filled with the galaxy that is within reach.

"Wait for me, I also want to be closer to you..." The girl thought so, but Xia Ruoming had been waiting for her for too long, and was even willing to follow her humbly.

In the past, she was a bird trapped in a cage and she could not escape it. Now that the crow has turned into a phoenix, how can she go back?

Xu Fengwu's gaze was wandering, and he saw the metal lotus hairpin on Xia Ruoming's head, which was shining brightly in the sun. It was obviously just a junky handicraft worth a few dollars, but Xia Ruoming wore it every day and never forgot to wear it.

Chu Suhe was so shy that day, but after Xia Ruoming put the hairpin on her, she refused to take it off.

Isn’t it said that no one will accept cheap love?

The pure silver plum blossom hairpin that Xia Ruoming gave her was thrown away somewhere long ago. Even if she wanted to take it with her to express her feelings, she could no longer find it.

"Classmate Xia Ruoming, last time you said that the reason for your progress was that you slashed your marriage fate with the sword. Can you tell me the secret of your success this time?" Xiao Qinghan asked jokingly.

"It's because of Class Monitor Chu." Xia Ruoming looked at Chu Suhe's position with gentle eyes. All the classmates who heard this also looked straight at Chu Suhe, making the class monitor very shy. If there was a crack in the ground she could crawl into, she might have done so.

"Because squad leader Chu gave me the courage to face the future."

This sentence is true, of course, not the current Chu Suhe, but you in your previous life - Xia Ruoming added in her heart.

"Besides, it's because Su He teaches me well every day that I can make such rapid progress. I also want to prove that the teaching of monitor Chu is very useful."

This statement caused everyone to roll their eyes. You are already at the top level, and Chu Suhe's grades are not as good as Xu Fengwu's. It's nonsense for her to teach you.

"Because you are the one who taught me, I want to work hard for you."

You're flirting in front of us, right? Do you think we're stupid?

Xu Fengwu looked at Xia Ruomeng's gentle eyes and clenched his fists to prevent tears from falling. The pain from his nails on his palms was far less than the pain in his heart. That kind of tenderness clearly belonged to her alone in the past.
