"It's okay, just consider it payment for eating your roast duck. That way I can eat it with a clear conscience."
That's what they say, but Wang Xinghe still felt that eating like this was a bit strange.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it.
"Fuheng, Fuheng, something terrible has happened! I saw it, I saw it..."
"What did you see? Hold on, there's no rush. Can't you see I'm eating?"
At this moment, Fu Heng was in a private room at the school, holding a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right, eating steak.
“I saw it, I saw it, Wu Luoxi was eating in class, and she was very close to a boy. The two of them were eating together, head to head.”
Is it Wang Xinghe?
"Fu Heng, you know Wang Xinghe too?"
"How could I not know! I know exactly what he's doing, it's not time to deal with him yet!" Fu Heng gritted his teeth as he mentioned Wang Xinghe.
Wu Luoxi is the one he has his eye on, and he will not let anyone who tries to get close to her get away with it.
In his eyes, Wang Xinghe was just a guy from a small town. As for his background, Fu Heng didn't have that much time to investigate a damned person.
“I’m telling you, Fu Heng, shouldn’t we teach Wang Xinghe a lesson? He’s always using his academic genius title to swindle people in the Dream Realization Class. Only the people in the Dream Realization Class would believe him. They probably haven’t seen a real academic genius before.”
"They're just like frogs in a well, what kind of perspective could they possibly have?"
"Fu Heng, did you use 100% of your ability in this monthly exam?"
"What do you think? Do I need to use all my strength for this kind of exam? I can just take it casually. Of course, you know what I mean by 'casually'."
"Hehe, it looks like Fu Heng, you're going to be in the top three of the grade again this time."
"It all depends on whether those few are serious or not. Our mission is to win honor for the school. These little tests are unnecessary. Didn't we say that to the class?"
"Yeah, hehe, so I just filled in the multiple-choice questions and did them randomly."
"Ziyi, you still like to scribble nonsense as much as ever."
"I can't help it, the exam is too boring. Well then, Fu Heng, I'll be going now. I've sent you the message."
"Um."
"Baby, is the roast duck delicious? (Looking forward to it!)"
"It's delicious, very delicious, I really like it."
"Baby, I'm a little thirsty. Lunch was too bland (confused)."
"Oh, then let's hurry up and buy a bottle of water. We can't stay thirsty forever."
"Baby, you're so clumsy~ (disdainful)"
"Huh? How did I become stupid again?"
"Baby, your emotional intelligence is so low! I said I was thirsty, shouldn't you have bought me some water?"
"But how can I buy it for you?"
"I want to drink milk tea."
"Oh, Mengmeng, you should have told me sooner! I'd have ordered it for you right away!"
"One drink is enough, don't order two."
"I know, Mengmeng. You've said it so many times. I'll order one every time from now on."
"Okay, my best friend doesn't like milk tea, so you can just order some for me."
At that moment, Xia Shishi, who was next to Liu Qingmeng, suddenly sneezed.
Was someone just talking about me?
"Thinking about you? Who's thinking about you?"
"I don't know, otherwise why would I sneeze? Was it you? Mengmeng!"
"Boring, why would I mention you?"
"How should I know? It must have been you! Confess, didn't you!"
"no."
"It's clearly fine!"
The next day was Friday, and Rongxu was always very happy on Fridays. He would come early in the morning and jump around next to Wang Xinghe.
"Rongxu, have you finished your homework?"
"Homework? What homework? Of course I did it! I stayed up really late last night!"
"Hehe, if you were doing your homework, pigs would be flying by now. You definitely haven't done it," Wu Luoxi teased from the side.
"You! Wu Luoxi, you're slandering me!"
"I don't have any. Take out your math homework; it's due soon."
"Count, math homework, what math homework? There's math homework too?"
"Of course! The teacher assigned it yesterday!"
"I don't know, what math homework?" Rong Xu was confused.
“Rongxu, you forgot, you have those twenty test papers, so the math teacher said you can’t do other homework for now.”
"Yeah! Wu Luoxi, are you doing this on purpose?! I don't have to do math homework, I have to do a test paper."
"So you have to hand in 20 papers today. How many have you completed?"
"Mind your own business! I've finished writing!"
"You've finished writing, why are you taking out the test paper? Don't take it out!"
Then, after the second period, the monthly exam results will be released, and every teacher and student will know the results at the same time.
This time is also known as the announcement time for elite schools.
Students who want to know their grades as soon as possible will go to the main square to wait. There is a large electronic screen there that displays the rankings of the entire senior year.
The top three are at the very top: Zhuangyuan (状元), Bangyan (榜眼), and Tanhua (探花).
These three were the last ones announced.
As soon as the second period ended, Rongxu ran out to find a good spot to check the rankings.
"Come on, Xinghe, aren't we going to check the rankings?"
"Are all these people here to check the rankings?"
"Yes, let's go too. It's all on that big screen in the square. Are you nervous?"
"It's alright, let's go then."
"Hurry up! If you walk slowly, you'll be at the very back."
When Wang Xinghe left the classroom, he saw students running towards the square in the corridor.
"Looks like we came out too late."
"Why don't we just go to Teacher Shen's office and ask her?"
"Their teachers found out about the results even later than we did. By the time they found out, the results had already been published for quite some time."
"ah?"
“Our school uses artificial intelligence. All the grades are calculated automatically by computer, then ranked by AI, and finally published directly, so the teachers don’t know about it.”
"That advanced?"
"yes."
The two walked to the main square while talking.
The two could only stand at the very back.
"Aren't these the students from the Dream Realization Class? They've come to check on the results too?"
As soon as we arrived, the people in front of us spoke up.
"Zhou Ziyi, who are you trying to imply?!"
"Oh, I didn't realize it was Luo Xi! When did you start getting so close to other boys? Weren't you always supposed to be 'Do Not Disturb'?"
"Do not disturb strangers" applies to you, but I rarely do it with people from my class. Come on, Xinghe, this place is too unlucky, let's go somewhere else.
“Let’s go, the few of us will follow them and see where they go. I want to see how many points this kid can get on the test.”
"What are you trying to do? This is a school!"
"We know this is a school, and we didn't do anything wrong." The group looked at Wang Xinghe and Wu Luoxi with ill intent.
