Qin Mingyue stared grimly at the LCD screen in the center of the hall, where Shi Miao's name was prominently displayed first. The perfect score of 200 immediately following behind stung her eyes even more.
She pinched her palms, her face turning pale then red, burning as if she had been slapped.
There was still a lump in my throat, I couldn't swallow it or spit it out, it was stuck there, and my throat was about to blister.
She couldn't understand why someone could consistently get perfect scores, especially since that person was the one she hated the most.
In her opinion, anyone can get a perfect score, except for Shi Miao!
She took a few deep breaths, pinched her hands to force herself to calm down, and continued to watch the results scrolling on the big screen. Finally, she saw her score and ranking.
Thirty-eighth place, China, Qin Mingyue, 175 points.
Qin Mingyue's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and a layer of gloom settled between her brows. She had estimated that the score was at least 180 points.
At this moment, Huo Yudong walked over and patted her on the shoulder, saying with a pleasant expression, "Mingyue, you did well on the exam, even better than I expected."
Qin Mingyue's body stiffened, and she barely managed to control the expression on her face. She wanted to laugh but found it difficult to do so. After a long while, she managed to twitch the corners of her mouth and muttered, "Yeah, I thought I could get 180 points."
"This is your first time participating, and you've already surpassed most people with this result. Don't think too much about it; there's still the final tomorrow," Huo Yudong comforted him.
Having just experienced the double impact of Shi Miao's perfect score and first place ranking, Huo Yudong was not as excited or surprised that Qin Mingyue had also made it to the finals.
Qin Mingyue slowly withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes to cover the resentment in them, and said softly, "Yes, Uncle."
...
At this moment, in a villa in M ​​continent.
"Miss Shi's preliminary results are out!" Fu Xi sat on the living room sofa with a laptop on his lap, the screen displaying the results system for this international competition.
"Holy crap! How many points?" Xie Sizhou, upon hearing this, immediately abandoned the game he was playing and rushed over.
"First place, and a perfect score of 200! And a full 10 points ahead of second place!" Fu Xite said proudly.
Xie Sizhou said incredulously, "Damn, Sister Shi is simply inhuman. She really means it when she says it's perfect."
Ye Chuan sat to the side, playing on his phone, seemingly unfazed, as if he already knew Shi Miao's score.
Seeing this, Fu Xi couldn't help but ask, "Wait, how can you be so calm? A perfect score! Number one in the world!"
Ye Chuan raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this, gave him a disdainful look, and said leisurely, "What's so exciting about this? It's all basic stuff, okay? Just what I said, Shi Miao will definitely get a perfect score in tomorrow's final."
Xie Sizhou sat down next to Ye Chuan, stroking his chin and sighing, "It can only be said that a perfect score is not Shi's limit. She only got 200 points because the score on the test paper was only 200 points."
Fu Xi became even more curious upon hearing this. He exited the grades system, shut down his computer, and urged, "Tell me quickly about Miss Shi's affairs in China!"
Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow. "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Fu Jin tell you?"
Fu Xi's lips twitched slightly as he retorted, "Does his dull-witted appearance make him look like someone who would share gossip?"
Ye Chuan clicked his tongue, "That's true."
As they were talking, Ji Yanchen came down from the second floor.
Fu Xi quickly sat up straight, coughed lightly, and said, "Boss, I just checked, Miss Shi got a perfect score and ranked first."
Ji Yanchen walked over with one hand in his pocket, leaned back lazily on the sofa, and glanced at him. "Why aren't you as enthusiastic about the things I asked you to do?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xi quickly stood up with his laptop, saying, "Boss, I'm leaving now. I still have some things to take care of at the casino!"
After saying that, he quickly left.
...
On the other side, Shi Miao walked out of the building with a bag slung over one shoulder.
You can spot the Shi family's car parked on the side of the road at a glance.
I had only taken two steps when my phone rang.
She raised her hand to lower the brim of her hat, slowly took her phone out of her bag, glanced at the caller ID, and then walked to a place where there was no sun to answer the call.
"Hello."
The girl's voice was deep and husky, not the typical girlish voice, but it was very pleasant to listen to, with a special kind of languidness.
"Congratulations, Miao Shen." Ji Yanchen's deep, magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao raised a delicate eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "How did you know?"
Ji Yanchen chuckled softly and said, "It's Fu Xicha's doing. I'll pick you up later for dinner?"
"Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Miao put away her phone and took a few steps when Huo Yudong's voice came from behind her: "Shi Miao, let's go back to the hotel first. We'll meet here at the same time tomorrow."
Shi Miao turned around, raised her clear eyes to look at him, and nodded, saying, "I understand, Professor Huo."
"By the way, how are you getting back? It's still not very safe around M Continent, so how about I take you back?"
A warm feeling flashed in Shi Miao's eyes as she said gently, "It's alright, someone will pick you up."
"Okay, send me a message when you get back."
"Well, I'll be going now, Professor Huo."
After saying that, Shi Miao turned around and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road.
Shi Jing and Gu Wanqing had been waiting in the car for quite some time.
As soon as Shi Miao opened the car door and got in, Shi Jing couldn't wait to ask, "Miao Miao, how did you do on the exam? What was your score?"
Seeing that the girl's expression was quite calm, I thought she hadn't done well on the test. I paused for a moment and then said, "It's okay if you didn't do well. If you really want that championship, Dad will have someone call the people in the competition later."
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly. She fastened her seatbelt, turned her head to look at the back seat, and her clear, bright eyes were strikingly beautiful. "Two hundred points."
"Two hundred points..." Shi Jing was still wondering whether to say anything more comforting when he subconsciously nodded, then realized what he meant and exclaimed, "Two hundred points?! You mean a perfect score!"
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow and said with a somewhat complicated expression, "Yes, a perfect score and first place, so there's no need to give me any special treatment."
Gu Wanqing, who was standing to the side, was amused by the conversation between the father and daughter and said, "Don't you know that Miaomiao is an excellent student?"
Shi Jing coughed, touched the tip of his nose, and said in a low voice, "Miao Miao didn't say that."
Gu Wanqing: "Well, it's not too late for you to know now."
Shi Jing turned his head to look at the beautiful woman beside him who was smiling. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me about Miao Miao's experiences in China when we get back?"
"Okay." Gu Wanqing nodded in agreement without thinking.
