Chapter 279 As you wish, I am the tenth
After hearing what Li Jing said, Wen Xiaoxiao finally felt a little clearer-headed.
Yes, the century-old ginseng is definitely among Kong Wan's singers. It's a sure thing that she'll get into the experimental class. If I were to lose my competition results because of a momentary impulse, I wouldn't even be able to get into the experimental class.
She's already made a mistake; she can't afford to make any more.
If she can't even get into the experimental class, not only will she be unable to explain herself to her aunt and uncle, but she will also likely become the laughing stock of the entire college.
Looking at Li Jing beside her, Wen Xiaoxiao felt a rare warmth from him at that moment.
Han Fei and the teachers behind him looked grim.
"Wen, calm down and return to the group. If you continue to act recklessly, you will be severely punished!" Han Fei said with a stern face.
Wen Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and whispered to Li Jing, "Help me to the ranks."
Li Jing quickly replied, "Okay, okay."
After the two rejoined the team, Han Fei led the teacher down the mountain to inspect the ginseng again.
When they reached Kong Wange, Han Fei asked with a smile, "Examinee Kong, how many ginseng roots did you dig up?"
Kong Wange held up her hand and made a "one" gesture.
"Just one?" Han Fei frowned.
Kong Wange nodded: "One is enough."
She smiled and took out a similar peach wood box from her bosom.
The moment the box was opened, Han Fei's eyes lit up instantly: "A century-old ginseng?!"
At the sound of the shout, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they rushed over like a surging tide.
"Holy crap, it really is a century-old ginseng!"
"Zhao Xiaohe and Wen Xiaoxiao are all fake. It turns out the real century-old ginseng is with Kong Wange!"
"My God, this is the first time I've ever seen a hundred-year-old ginseng in my life. Look at the texture and the roots, it's absolutely amazing! No wonder it's a hundred-year-old ginseng!"
"Hahaha, Wen Xiaoxiao, look at him and then look at you. Kong dug up a hundred-year-old ginseng and he's not arrogant or impatient. But you, you've got a fake tail and you're already strutting around like crazy. It's absolutely laughable."
"..."
Although Wen Xiaoxiao had expected that the century-old ginseng was in Kong Wange's possession, she still couldn't help but feel weak in the knees when the ginseng was taken out and the surrounding mockery arose.
She felt she couldn't stay there for even a second longer and wished she could disappear into the ground.
After everyone finished marveling at Kong Wange's century-old ginseng, they returned to their respective places.
When it came to Chen Ge, he pitifully pulled a small ginseng from his pocket and only got 2 points.
With everyone's scores tallied, Han Fei looked at them and said, "Alright, now let's take a look at the final rankings!"
The final rankings were recorded by a designated person on a large board.
Kong Wange spotted herself immediately; as she expected, her score of 50 placed her exactly tenth.
She nodded, then looked at Leng Jun and the other two. Leng Jun and Xiao Ju Zi were ranked sixth and eighth respectively, and both entered the experimental class. Only Chen Ge was ranked last.
Kong Wange frowned, her mood clearly souring.
Seeing this, Chen Ge scratched his head and laughed, "Brother Kong, you don't need to be upset for me. I'm fine. It's the same no matter where I go. I'm happy to see that you all went to the experimental class."
Leng Jun and Xiao Ju Zi, who were initially quite happy to see their own rankings, both fell silent upon seeing Chen Ge's.
Kong Wange patted Chen Ge on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will definitely fight for your spot and get you back into the experimental class."
Deep down, Chen Ge wasn't entirely indifferent.
The experimental class and the regular class teach different things. He prides himself on his talent, but being in the regular class still poses some challenges for him.
However, he believes he can easily process these minor emotions and doesn't want to bother everyone with them.
But upon hearing Kong Wange's words, he didn't know why, but his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
He turned away to wipe his eyes, then turned back and laughed, "Big brother, no, no need to rush. I'll work hard myself. You guys wait for me in the experimental class."
As the group was talking, a voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Hey, there are two people tied for fifteenth place!"
"Indeed, Li Jing and Wen Xiaoxiao are tied."
"This is interesting. Both of them scored 45 points. Are they going to go to the experimental class together?"
The murmurs of the crowd reached Han Fei, who spoke up, "The regulations issued by the college stipulate that only 15 students will be admitted to the experimental class. This is the first time we've encountered a situation where students are ranked in the same order. Let me go back and discuss it with the dean to see how to handle it."
Despite Han Fei's words, Wen Xiaoxiao was not worried.
It would be best if she and Li Jing could both enter the experimental class. If only one could be chosen, it would definitely be her. After all, she is better than Li Jing in terms of medical skills, and she completely surpasses him in terms of family background.
In any case, getting into the experimental class at least preserves the last shred of dignity...
Unfortunately, just as Han Fei finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Teacher, please wait."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the speaker was Kong Wange.
Han Fei asked in confusion, "Kong, is there anything else?"
Kong Wange raised her lips slightly and glanced at Wen Xiaoxiao with her cool eyes.
For some reason, Wen Xiaoxiao had an inexplicable premonition.
She said coldly, "Kong Wange, why can't you talk to the teacher privately instead of taking up everyone's time?"
Seeing Wen Xiaoxiao's flustered expression, Kong Wange's smile widened even more.
She ignored Wen Xiaoxiao and instead addressed the crowd, saying loudly, "Because what I'm about to say is not a personal matter, but related to this assessment. Wen Xiaoxiao and Li Jing's scores are not tied."
Everyone was stunned when the words were spoken.
"What do you mean? Aren't they both 45 points? Aren't they tied?"
"Student Kong, please explain yourself more clearly."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Kong Wange calmly walked up to Li Jing.
Li Jing was still in a daze. Before he could figure out what Kong Wange meant by "not on par", he saw Kong Wange smiling gently at him: "Li Jing, we all know you like Wen Xiaoxiao, but you don't need to hide your physical attributes for her sake. That's not fair."
Han Fei was slightly taken aback, looked at Li Jing with a stern expression: "Li Jing, is what Kong Jing said true?"
Li Jing's eyes widened in anger, and he frantically waved his hands, saying, "Teacher, don't listen to this Kong Wange's nonsense. I really took out all the ginseng from my bag. You can see for yourself!"
After saying that, Li turned his satchel upside down and shook it as proof.
With that shake, Han Fei could tell that the bag was empty. He turned to Kong Wange and said, "Examinee Kong, you saw it too. Examinee Li's bag is empty. There's no ginseng left. You say Examinee Li concealed ginseng, do you have any evidence?"
Kong Wange replied confidently, "Of course!"
