After experiencing some injustice, Gui Zixiao felt that he couldn’t just be happy alone about Xia Yu’s test score; he wanted to spread this joy.
He patted the shoulder of the student sitting in front of him.
“The reading comprehension section was so damn hard this time,” said Gui Zixiao.
Although the student in front didn’t know why Gui Zixiao was talking to him, the reading comprehension section was indeed difficult, and they quickly reached an understanding.
After a couple of complaints, Gui Zixiao asked, “How many points did you lose on the modern Chinese reading section?”
“Fifteen points,” the student in front replied.
“Oh, then you did pretty well!” Gui Zixiao exclaimed.
Hearing this, the student in front felt a surge of pride—Gui Zixiao had lost even more points?
Straightening his back proudly, the student asked, “How many points did you lose?”
“Nine points.”
“What?!”
The student hoped Gui Zixiao might have misunderstood and was stating the score he got instead of the points he lost: “I mean the points you lost.”
“Nine points.”
“F*** you.”
“Don’t think I can’t understand that!” Although scolded, Gui Zixiao wasn’t upset. The more the other person cursed and expressed anger, the more it affirmed Gui Zixiao’s abilities.
Letting the other calm down a bit, Gui Zixiao continued, “It’s okay, no need to feel discouraged. Xia Yu also found it quite difficult.”
The student in front felt hope rise again: “How many points did Xia Yu lose?”
“Two points.”
“…”
Suddenly, the student felt this scenario was oddly familiar, as if he had been tricked by Gui Zixiao like this last semester too.
Giving Gui Zixiao the finger, the student tried to spread the joy, but he wasn’t successful.
After the papers were handed out, the Chinese teacher directly announced Xia Yu’s score.
Upon hearing the shocking score, the classmates looked at Xia Yu in astonishment.
It was already enough that he was good at math; now his Chinese was even more incredible?
The Chinese teacher continued, “Xia Yu’s history score is ninety-nine. Combined with the other two subjects, he scored a total of three hundred and eighty-seven, ranking first in the entire school, both in the liberal arts and science classes.”
There was another wave of astonished exclamations from the students.
The Chinese teacher was very satisfied with their reactions. He looked at Xia Yu and saw him still solving math problems. He nodded approvingly.
Unassuming and calm, this boy was truly steady.
He then recalled how he had previously misunderstood Xia Yu, thinking he had betrayed him for the math teacher. He felt ashamed.
Now it was clear—Xia Yu’s heart was clearly devoted to Chinese. Probably, math was only studied at school, while Xia Yu secretly focused on Chinese at home.
Otherwise, why would his math score only be an ordinary top score, while his Chinese score exceeded the top by ten points?
However, Xia Yu had only spent less than ten hours studying Chinese.
After one class, Xia Yu was invited by the Chinese teacher to meet the principal.
Looking at Xia Yu, the principal sighed.
Originally, he thought Xia Yu was a somewhat talented musician and wanted him to help him compete against his old rival. He thought Xia Yu could at best reach the second round of competitions, so he promised him a recommendation to Huada University.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yu had advanced all the way to the finals and even secured second place. Because of this, the principal had to ask his wife to get Xia Yu an admission notice.
He thought that would be the end of his dealings with Xia Yu; after all, this was just a school, and music wouldn’t be of much use.
But then, at noon today, the Chinese teacher barged into his office, pulled him out of bed, and told him that Xia Yu could potentially compete for the provincial college entrance exam champion?
Aren’t you supposed to be busy with music? Where did you find the time to study? And study so well?
But these weren’t the main issues now. The most important question was what he could use to motivate Xia Yu to help No.1 High School win the college entrance exam championship.
In his mind, since Xia Yu already had a recommendation to Huada University, he could choose whether or not to take the college entrance exam.
Without hesitation, Xia Yu volunteered an explanation. He asked the principal for the best geography and politics teachers at No.1 High School.
Geography and politics had quite a lot of knowledge points, so it was best to find a teacher for a quick overview.
Although the college entrance exam in Jiangsu Province only counted the scores of the three main subjects, politics and geography, as elective subjects, would also be reflected in the grades as levels A+, A, B, C, D.
After everything was settled, Xia Yu returned home.
He logged into the game where Yin Shulan was.
From Wen Ziying, he had received five experience cards. Combined with those he had accumulated over the past few days, he now had nine game cards, which he should use now.
The process went smoothly, except that the rabbit cried pitifully.
After everything was done, Yin Wan helped to deal with the remaining rabbits.
She had mostly regained her mobility these days.
Entering the living room, Xia Yu saw that Yin Ling was still awake, eating snacks and watching an anime on her phone.
With five minutes to go before logging out, Xia Yu asked Yin Wan, “Are all the preparations done?”
“All set,” Yin Wan replied.
“Why are we preparing things?” Yin Ling raised her head.
“In a few days, we’re going to Yaoguang City,” Xia Yu had already decided to send the three of them to An Siyao.
“Leaving here?” Yin Ling put down her chips, stood up, and said, “I don’t want to leave here.”
Xia Yu hadn’t expected a problem with Yin Ling.
He said to the girl, “In Yaoguang, there’s a big TV and an amusement park.”
“I still don’t want to go!” Yin Ling’s gaze was firm.
“Why not?” Xia Yu asked.
“It’s familiar here. It won’t be familiar in a new place,” Yin Ling’s reason was solid.
Xia Yu couldn’t resolve this issue directly, so he had to approach it from the side.
“There are cake shops in Yaoguang,” he said.
Yin Ling’s eyes wavered slightly.
“There are also hotpot restaurants in Yaoguang,” Xia Yu added.
Yin Ling started to feel tempted.
Xia Yu smiled and quickly continued, “Steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, roasted duck, roasted young chicken, roasted goose, braised pork, braised duck, soy sauce chicken, cured meat, pine flower sausages, small sausages, dried meat, sausage, and mixed delicacies…”
Before he could finish, Yin Ling threw herself into his arms.
Looking up at Xia Yu with determination, the girl asked, “Grandma, when are we leaving?”
“Very soon, about ten days,” Xia Yu said, patting Yin Ling’s head. He was delighted that the girl shared his same love for food.
In the future, he could take her to eat and eat together.
Although Feng Yumo also liked eating, she ate because she was hungry and stopped after she was full. That kind of eating wasn’t sincere. But Yin Ling had a sincere attitude toward food.
Xia Yu discussed more details with Yin Shulan. After eight hours passed, he returned to his real body.
It was already almost midnight. When the clock struck midnight, Xia Yu logged into the game again.
He came to An Siyao.
He needed to discuss this matter with An Siyao.
After a brief moment of darkness, Xia Yu regained his senses.
“You’re back!”
