Chapter 71 Am I a fool?
On Monday, Cen Nian woke up twenty minutes early, got ready, and started drawing her eyebrows. She had practiced several times and was already very good at it.
The color of the eyebrow pencil is natural, close to the color of her eyebrows. If you don't look very close, you can hardly see any difference.
She finally felt at ease and carried her schoolbag to school.
When she got into the car, Jin Siyang was already sitting inside with his eyes closed. When he saw her come in, he glanced at her sideways.
"How about it? My own painting is pretty good, right?" Cen Nian asked him with a smile.
Jin Siyang raised his eyebrows: "Yeah."
Hey, he didn’t reply with “okay”.
After completing the half of her eyebrows, Cen Nian walked into the classroom as usual. Zhu Zhiyao came over and asked, "Are you drawing your eyebrows?"
"Hmm, can't you see it?"
Zhu Zhiyao compared the distance between them and said, "You have to be this close to see it."
Cen Nian finally felt relieved. Song Ze ran in from outside and noticed Cen Nian's eyebrows as soon as he entered the room. He was a little surprised: "Oh my god, Cen Nian, how come your eyebrows have grown in just two days?"
"I used an eyebrow pencil."
"I really can't tell at all." Song Ze took something out of his bag: "But I bought something, hair growth liquid."
Cen Nian looked at the small bottle of hair growth liquid on the table and was a little confused: "Does this really work?"
"Hey, I don't know either. I'll try it in the next two days. If it works, I'll let you try it."
After chatting for a while, someone in the class announced, "The rankings are out."
Zhu Zhiyao and Cen Nian picked a time when they didn't have classes and went down together to check the rankings.
Cen Nian was a little nervous because of the agreement on the top 50. After entering the top 100, each move up one position would be extremely difficult, and the great players in front were not pushovers.
The top 100 ranking list was pasted in its original position, with Jin Siyang firmly in first place.
Cen Nian was happy for him and looked at the 100th place.
However, her name was not listed in the 100th place. She looked up anxiously, but it was not in the top 90 either.
Cen Nian grabbed the hem of his clothes and continued to search upwards, muttering, "Buddha bless you."
Zhu Zhiyao looked at her with amusement. She was ranked 43rd and Qin Zhouyan was 44th. She glanced down a little and saw a familiar name. Seeing Cen Nian's pious look, she just smiled and said nothing.
Not even seventy.
Cen Nian looked upwards again and his eyes fell on a point.
No. 66: Cen Nian.
She broke the record again.
"Yaoyao, I'm 66th!!" Cen Nian couldn't contain his excitement.
"Congratulations! You've set another record."
Cen Nian was happy for a few seconds, but then he thought about the top 50 and started to wilted again: "I still haven't reached that goal."
Zhu Zhiyao was a little confused: "What goal? The top 50?"
Cen Nian nodded dejectedly.
"You've improved over thirty places, from 100th to 66th! Little Niannian, you're already amazing. If anyone dares to be dissatisfied, I'll beat him up!"
Cen Nian muttered: "That's right, beat him up!"
The person they were talking about walked behind the two of them at some point. He didn't often look at the ranking list. For Jin Siyang, he knew his ranking the moment he finished the exam. This time, he stopped here for some unknown reason, glanced casually, and heard an indignant conversation.
Cen Nian took Zhu Zhiyao's hand, and the two turned around to leave, almost bumping into Jin Siyang behind them.
“…”
Jin Siyang raised his eyebrows and said nothing, but his eyes showed that he had heard what they said.
“…”
The two of them walked ahead tacitly and returned to the classroom. A few minutes later, Jin Siyang walked in slowly and sat astride his seat.
Cen Nian thought for a few seconds and said in a weaker tone: "Well, you see, I didn't make it into the top 50."
"Yeah, I see."
Cen Nian couldn't tell his emotions, so he added, "Okay, just say whatever you want to say."
Jin Siyang glared at her, his tone smiling: "I dare not, what if someone beats me up?"
"...You did hear it, didn't you?"
Cen Nian clutched the pen awkwardly and scratched his nose awkwardly.
"Just kidding." Jin Siyang's voice was neither too loud nor too soft. He analyzed objectively, "Cen Nian, from 100th to 66th place, you've made the most progress among the top 100."
"Anyone who has looked at the rankings will easily notice that the top 50 are stable, with a maximum drop of one or two places. Further down, the drop is larger, but within ten places at most."
Cen Nian was stunned for a long time, then whispered, "Don't you think you don't look at the rankings? How did you know?"
Jin Siyang snorted and laughed: "Am I a fool?"
Cen Nian shook his head, obviously not.
"These are the same people who always win awards. I just don't watch them often, not that I never watch them."
"oh."
Jin Siyang suddenly said seriously, "Being in the top 50, top 10, or even top 3 are just goals. You still have a lot of time, Cen Nian. You are very good. Maybe you don't realize it, but those who you have surpassed, as well as all the teachers, know how good you are."
A warm feeling flowed through Cen Nian's heart. Being praised so highly by the person who topped the list, she seemed to be a little dizzy, as if her body was in the clouds.
"Thank you, Jin Siyang." Cen Nian held the pen and said firmly, "I will definitely continue to work hard. You must consolidate your learning pioneering spirit!"
Jin Siyang smiled and pretended to cooperate: "Well, then I have no choice but to ask you to show mercy."
Qin Zhouyan walked in from outside. Seeing Jin Siyang being so gentle, he suddenly shuddered and exclaimed, "How disgusting!"
The midterm exam is over and the second year of high school is coming to an end. The atmosphere in the class is a little more tense than before. Entering the third year of high school, that is the real battlefield of fighting, and everyone is rushing forward with all their might.
It happened to be a holiday, and even though I was on vacation, I didn’t feel as happy as before.
Jin Siyang came home late because of the competition, so Uncle Meng sent Cen Nian home first. She started packing her things and packed a small suitcase. Aunt Liu was beside her, giving her instructions as if her child was going on a long journey.
Aunt Liu and Uncle Li kept giving instructions, which made Cen Nian feel warm inside.
Her grandmother's death anniversary is this month, and she thought she wouldn't be able to go back, but unexpectedly it happened to be during the holidays, so she could take advantage of the holiday to go back and pay her respects to her grandmother.
Thinking of Ningcheng, where he hadn't been back for a long time, Cen Nian grew up there and had feelings for it. Going back again after almost a year, he couldn't help but miss and look forward to it.
There was a movement at the entrance, and Jin Siyang walked in with a bag on his back. His eyes moved from Cen Nian's face to the suitcase next to him. He suddenly frowned: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to Lemon City this holiday."
Jin Siyang's tone was slightly cold: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Cen Nian paused for two seconds and said, "I saw that you have been busy with the competition these days, so I didn't tell you."
"How many days?"
"Three days."
He seemed to be relieved: "Be careful."
