  “First, I want to recognize Luo Chen.”


  At Yang Lianfeng’s words, Luo Chen immediately looked up. Everyone in the class looked his way as well.

  Yang Lianfeng smiled as he said, “There are 4,000 people in this grade and last time, he placed last. This time, he ranked 576. This is a giant leap of improvement!”


  Everyone applauded at once. Luo Chen pinched at the black ear stud in his ear – a little embarrassed.

  “Obviously this proves that there are no stupid students. It all depends on whether or not you want to learn.”


  Yang Lianfeng exclaimed out of happiness then continued, “The next student I want to recognize is Qiao Qing. I’m sure everyone just heard of the marks she received.”


  “Other than skipping the essay on the literature exam, which landed her 90 points, she scored perfect in all other subjects. She ended up with 690 points and is number 1 in this grade. She’s 49 points ahead of the second placer!”


  “Woah……”


  Everyone who listened to this gasped.

  Qiao Nian stared at Qiao Qing in disbelief. Her pretty face got whiter and whiter.

  Jiang Yi once again felt his soul getting crushed. He didn’t expect her to do so well on subjects other than math and science.

  Luo Chen took the other two marked answer sheets from Qiao Qing and looked them over.

  Then, a pair of light grey, glass like eyes stared at Qiao Qing’s graceful face in bewilderment. It was as if he no longer recognized her.

  “The moment the exam started, everyone complained that the exam was too hard. No matter how difficult it was, it didn’t surpass high school levels. There are also someone who scored perfectly. So you should all self-reflect and identify where you are lacking.”


  Yang Lianfeng’s words made Qiao Nian’s desk-mate, Xu Yingying burst out, “Teacher, I have an objection!”


  Yang Lianfeng, “Speak of it.”


  Xu Yingying stood up, “It’s not that surprising for Luo Chen to get to number 576 from last in class. After all, all the lowly ranked students score extremely low so there isn’t a big gap in between.”


  “But Qiao Qing didn’t go from second last to third last. She went straight up to first! Who would believe that? Doesn’t that make you question if she cheated?!”


  Nobody came out to speak on Qiao Qing’s behalf.

  Though Qiao Qing was a boss in their eyes, today’s grade results truly did invite a lot of questions.

  Yang Lianfeng raised his hand, “You should sit down first. We did question that. All of the teachers in the teacher’s office refused to believe she scored that high. So we called her over today.”


  “All morning, teachers of all subjects, spent three hours to come up with 30 questions that are more difficult than the exam itself. Yet Qiao Qing took less than 30 minutes to answer them.”


  Yang Lianfeng described the event so lighty, but no students could sit still from shock after what he had said.

  “So, Qiao Qing and Luo Chen are two different cases. She didn’t counterattack, she merely never revealed her true skills.”


  Then, Yang Lianfeng paused, “Don’t you all know who her father is?”


  Those words straight up shut a group of students up.

  He was right. How could the daughter of a renowned genius be incapable?

  “Big sis Qiao is a beast!” Hou Zibin led a round of applause.

  “Big sis Qiao is great! She’s a study god!”


  “Big sis Qiao beat Ye Feng and is now my role model when it comes to school!”


  “.……”


  There was a turmoil going on in Qiao Nian’s mind. Her nails dug into her palms so deep she could no longer sense anything.

  Yang Lianfeng’s words crushed her last ray of fantasy.

  “Okay, let’s start by talking about literature. The other teachers will talk about their own subjects……”


  As time went on, all teachers summarized their thoughts about the exam.

  School was finally over at 12:30.

  On the way out, Luo Chen followed Qiao Qing but he appeared very much crestfallen. It was as if he had been struck down.

  When the two parted, Qiao Qing turned around and saw a boy standing across from her.

  It looked like he had been waiting for her here.
