After hearing what Jia Xiaomin said, Du Chen's face was filled with despair. It seemed that he couldn't escape this matter.
"Lao Du, what do you think we should wear when the time comes?"
"Will we be filmed then? Then won't we be on TV?"
Du Chen stood there listening to Lao Ding and Lao Du chatting excitedly. Ren Surong and Jia Xiaomin were also chatting happily. Du Chen wondered what the consequences would be if he said he would not go to the performance now.
"Dad, Mom, it's been over half a month since my brother and sister Miaomiao's math competition? Still no news?"
Du Chen didn't dare let Comrade Lao Du and the others continue chatting. Who knows what ideas they might come up with, like hanging a banner? So Du Chen had to interrupt their conversation.
"I've already asked your brother and Miaomiao today, and they said they haven't announced anything yet, but it seems like the time is almost up. I guess we'll know the results in the next week."
When it came to business, they stopped chatting and Ren Surong answered Du Chen's questions.
"Oh, I wonder how my brother and sister Miaomiao did in the exam?"
Du Chen seemed worried, but in fact he was trying to divert everyone's attention.
"Yeah, that's right. I wonder how the two kids did on the test. It would be great if they could get that extra point. They work so hard every day, taking extra classes and doing homework, without even a break. It's heartbreaking to see them like that."
Lao Ding was quite active today. Before anyone else spoke, Lao Ding had already spoken.
"That's good. We only have less than a year left before we're finally free! We've done everything we can, and now it's up to the kids to figure things out!"
Jia Xiaomin said at this time.
"Hey, even if you two are free, we still have one here, and it will be another three years."
Ren Surong also spoke.
Du Chen saw that everyone's attention had finally been diverted, so he tiptoed to the second floor. He continued to stay there, fearing that everyone's attention might turn back to him in a while.

The next morning, after the first class, Du Bin was drawing illustrations at his desk. This work was now a rare leisure time for Du Bin.
"Du Bin, Ding Miaomiao, the two of you come to the office!"
At this time, the head teacher stood at the door and said to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao. Du Bin looked at the head teacher in confusion, wondering why the teacher wanted to see him. Ding Miaomiao wondered if the math competition results were out, and she saw that the head teacher still had a smile on his face.
As soon as Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao walked out of the classroom, the classmates behind them were already in an uproar.
"Fang Peng, you're Du Bin's deskmate, do you know what's going on?"
The classmate sitting behind Du Bin on the right asked Du Bin's deskmate Fang Peng. As soon as the question was asked, everyone around him fell silent, wanting to hear first-hand gossip.
"What's the matter?"
Fang Peng was still a little confused.
"Are you playing dumb? Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were called out by the homeroom teacher together! They usually go to school and go home together. Do you think they're dating? Did the teacher find out?"
The classmate behind Fang Peng asked mysteriously.
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao are neighbors, so it's normal for them to walk together every day."
Fang Peng scratched his head and said to his classmates that he and Du Bin were the best classmates in the whole class.
"They're too close, aren't they? I think something must be wrong with them, otherwise why would the head teacher ask them to come to the office?"
As the few people talked, the whole class was gradually filled with rumors about Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao. Lu Wen, who was sitting in the last row, kept sneering in his heart and kept thinking in his head how to make this matter bigger. It would be best if both Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were punished!
Lv Wen hadn't forgotten what happened in his freshman year of high school. Because Du Bin was loud at the time, the entire class knew he'd been swindling classmates out of their money with an off-campus thug. Lv Wen was isolated by the entire class. Fortunately, after the second year of high school, with the addition of new students, Lv Wen's story was gradually forgotten. Although everyone had forgotten, Lv Wen hadn't forgotten the hurt Du Bin had caused him. Du Bin's family was wealthy, he was a good student, and he had good relationships, so Lv Wen hadn't dared to do anything. But today, Lv Wen felt like he had gotten back on track.
Not to mention the gossip that was swirling in the classroom, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao had already arrived at the head teacher's office.
"Du Bin, Ding Miaomiao, please sit down!"
The head teacher pointed to the two chairs next to them and said to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"No need, teacher. What do you want us to do?"
Du Bin asked the class teacher, usually when Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were together, Du Bin was responsible for all external communications and Ding Miaomiao was there to check for any omissions.
"There is something. And it's a good thing!"
Teacher Du Bin said to the two of them with a smile on his face.
"Didn't you two participate in the provincial math competition a while ago? This morning, the city education bureau officials called our principal specifically to tell us that you two represented our school and achieved excellent results in the provincial competition!"
After saying this, the head teacher looked at Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao, wanting to see their reactions. He was a little disappointed. Although Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao seemed a little excited, they remained calm, unlike the excitement he had felt when he first learned their results.
"Teacher, what are Miaomiao and I's grades? Can we get extra points for the college entrance exam?"
Du Bin asked the question that he and Ding Miaomiao were most concerned about. They took extra classes and training to participate in the provincial competition with only one purpose, which was to get extra points for the college entrance examination. If they couldn't get extra points, no matter what results they achieved, it would be meaningless to them.
When the head teacher heard Du Bin call Miaomiao directly, he couldn't help but frown in his heart, but his face remained calm. He just secretly kept this matter in mind.
"Du Bin, you're seventh in the province! Ding Miaomiao, you're third in the province! Congratulations to both of you for such excellent results!"
The head teacher told Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao their grades with a smile.
"Miaomiao, that's awesome!"
Du Bin waved his fist vigorously and spoke excitedly to Ding Miaomiao.
Ding Miaomiao's face also showed a hint of blush, and a big stone was lifted from her heart.
"Teacher, it seems that there will be no problem with our grades and the extra points for the college entrance examination, right?"
Although Ding Miaomiao was also very excited, she still asked the class teacher.
"Yes, that's right. The Education Bureau leaders said that the Provincial Education Bureau has decided to give the top ten students in the province an extra 20 points on the college entrance exam! And this is also nationally recognized. It's a tradition!"
Although the head teacher had some doubts when she heard Du Bin calling Miaomiao on his left and Miaomiao on his right, she was also very happy about the results achieved by the two. The 20 extra points in the college entrance examination could completely determine whether the two children would be one step ahead in the college entrance examination. How could she not be happy?
