Chapter 31 Too Many Amazing People
Chapter 31 Too Many Amazing People
The curriculum in junior high school is indeed different.
Mathematics is no longer just about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; it has started to talk about rational numbers and absolute values.
English has also evolved from ABCD to sentence-based dialogue.
These newly promoted kids are still getting used to it.
In addition, Gao Xiao's face would occasionally appear at the rear window, scaring everyone to death.
Math class.
Xiao Yunqing sat in the first row and actively participated in class activities.
When the classic bald math teacher asked who wanted to be the math class representative, she immediately raised her hand.
Xiao Yunqing wasn't particularly good at math, but she wanted to take advantage of her position as the math class representative to learn more.
"Alright, let's give Xiao Yunqing the math representative position."
"Clap clap clap".
The applause was weak and listless, probably because the boys were somewhat disheartened after witnessing Xiao Yunqing and Song Huan's interaction earlier.
Song Huan, the instigator of all this, was sitting in the last row, actively discussing with Zhou Gong (the Duke of Zhou) "matters concerning the optimal sleep duration for teenagers at school," his head nodding little by little.
I was so tired from handing out flyers last night, I haven't recovered yet.
He was dreaming when he suddenly felt a chill.
Open your eyes.
Gao Xiao appeared in the corridor at some point and was standing by the window, her gaze sweeping over.
"Hey, you in the back row, stop sleeping."
Song Huan jolted awake and sat up straight.
The math teacher looked helplessly at Gao Xiao, who was standing outside, as the class was interrupted.
Gao Xiao seemed not to notice, pushed open the window, and continued, "Everyone, study hard. There will be a placement test next week when school starts."
Upon hearing this, everyone let out another groan of despair.
Summer vacation has passed in a flash, and everyone's mind is empty. What knowledge do they have?
A placement test for the start of the school year?
Song Huan was stunned for a moment.
It's only the beginning of the semester, what's there to investigate?
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard Gao Xiao's inner thoughts.
The city is selecting outstanding students... those who excel in moral character, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor... only those in the top 10 can be nominated... isn't this just too much trouble...?
[The prize money is quite substantial, five thousand yuan...]
Song Huan woke up instantly from her drowsiness.
How many?
Five thousand?
His eyes widened in surprise.
I spent the entire summer handing out flyers, working myself to the bone, and only managed to save a little over five thousand yuan.
And all of it went into the stock market.
Now, a "Three Good Student" gets a 5,000 yuan bonus?
I go.
He immediately opened his math textbook and began to study it seriously.
Lin Yue, who had been standing there in a daze, was startled to see Song Huan sitting up abruptly from her deathbed.
Why is he suddenly so serious?
Song Huan ignored her and continued reading.
Then I heard her inner thoughts.
He looks so handsome when he's studying so diligently...
[Actually, I like guys who are good at math...]
Song Huan froze.
He silently closed his math book and switched to an English one.
[Boys who are good at English are really cool; once they learn it well, they can communicate with foreigners...]
Song Huan almost slipped off the chair.
He gritted his teeth and switched to another Chinese textbook.
[He's not learning English anymore? Then he's quite patriotic...]
Song Huan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Who exactly is this person?
Lin Yue, can't you be normal for once?!
Lunchtime.
The cafeteria was packed with people, and the lines for food were incredibly long.
Song Huan carried her tray and searched through the rows of seats.
Then he saw Xiao Yunqing sitting in the corner, waving at him.
He walked over and sat down.
Xiao Yunqing turned her head and glanced at him, then looked behind him.
Not far away, Lin Yue was holding a plate and looking this way.
Seeing Xiao Yunqing's gaze, she paused for a moment, then silently turned away and found a seat further away.
Xiao Yunqing's lips curled up slightly.
[Hmph, trying to take it from me?]
Song Huan was speechless when she heard her thoughts.
He lowered his head and began to eat.
Xiao Yunqing took a chicken leg from the plate and put it into his bowl.
"The chicken drumsticks here are good, much better than those at the National Day holiday."
Song Huan glanced at her.
"You bought two?"
"Yes," Xiao Yunqing nodded, "one for each of you."
Song Huan took a bite.
It's really good.
He chewed on a chicken leg, recalling what had just happened.
"Little Cloud, you know there's an exam next week, right?"
Xiao Yunqing nodded.
"Yes, I know. What's wrong?"
"This exam is related to the selection of outstanding students," Song Huan said, "and the prize money is five thousand yuan."
Xiao Yunqing was stunned for a moment.
How did you know?
Song Huan shrugged.
"In short, you can't go wrong by trusting me."
Xiao Yunqing glanced at him and snorted.
"How about I go easy on you and let you get first place?"
She raised her chin, looking smug.
After all, Song Huan's grades have never been as high as his.
Song Huan glanced at her and said calmly, "Actually, when I let you get first place in the exams, it was because I was letting you win."
Xiao Yunqing's eyes widened.
"What did you say?!"
"I'm telling you," Song Huan said slowly, chewing on her chicken leg, "I'm definitely going to be number one in this school entrance exam."
Just as Xiao Yunqing was about to retort, a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Ha, Class One is really arrogant."
Song Huan turned around.
A boy wearing black-rimmed glasses stood behind, holding a tray in his hand, followed by several other boys who also wore glasses.
Those people stood in a row, like they were copied and pasted.
As soon as it appeared, it exuded a powerful aura of a science and engineering god.
Is this the legendary "problem-solving guy"?
Song Huan was stunned.
What kind of formation is this?
Xiao Yunqing lowered her voice.
"They're from the top-performing class. The one who's talking is Su Tao, he's also the math class representative, and he's won the math Olympiad."
Xiao Yunqing then added, "I saw him when I went to the math teacher's office during break. Apparently, their class teacher is the one who set the math exam for this diagnostic test."
Rocket Class?
Song Huan had heard of it.
Legend has it that in addition to the elite classes, Yucai No.1 Middle School also has a rocket class, which is specifically for students who participate in competitions.
It's said that those people spend all their time doing practice problems, and their glasses lenses are only five millimeters thick on average.
He sized up Su Tao in front of him.
Tall and thin, with fair skin, and bright eyes behind his glasses.
He just exudes an aura of "I'm awesome".
Su Tao was also looking at him.
Then he turned his gaze to Xiao Yunqing, revealing what he thought was a very handsome smile, "Xiao, we meet again."
Originally, I was the kind of person who was oblivious to the world around me and focused solely on studying the classics.
It wasn't until I caught a fleeting glimpse of Xiao Yunqing in the office during the morning break that I realized what was happening.
Su Tao was completely captivated.
He felt that only a top student like himself was worthy of such a beautiful girl at this school.
Xiao Yunqing frowned.
"What do you mean 'we meet again'? I don't even know you."
Xiao Yunqing's voice was icy cold, keeping everyone at arm's length.
Su Tao's smile froze on his face.
Song Huan almost burst out laughing.
Because he heard Su Tao's inner thoughts.
[What's going on? That's not how it's written in the novel...]
[Doesn't she know I'm the class monitor of the advanced class?]
Logically, knowing I'm a math Olympiad champion, she should have taken the initiative to discuss the problem with me...
[Then feelings developed over time...and finally...]
Song Huan suppressed a laugh, her lips twitching slightly.
This guy must have read too many Japanese light novels.
Su Tao's face flushed red when he heard his laughter.
He glared at Song Huan.
"What are you laughing at?"
Song Huan looked completely innocent.
"It's nothing, just thinking about something happy."
Su Tao took a deep breath and put on that "I'm awesome" expression again.
He looked at Song Huan and said earnestly.
"Since you're in Class 1, I'm officially issuing this challenge to you."
Song Huan was stunned for a moment.
"What kind of challenge?"
"Fair competition!" Su Tao pointed at Xiao Yunqing. "Whoever gets first place in the entrance exam will be qualified to be with her!"
Song Huan fell silent.
Xiao Yunqing, standing beside him, also fell silent.
Two seconds later, Xiao Yunqing stood up and picked up her plate.
"Neuropathy."
She glanced at Song Huan.
"Huanhuan, let's go, don't pay any attention to him."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Song Huan quickly picked up her tray and followed.
After taking two steps, he turned back and glanced at Su Tao.
Su Tao stood there, his expression quite interesting.
The bespectacled men behind him came up and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's okay, the results will prove everything."
Su Tao took a deep breath and nodded.
"That's right, Xiao probably hasn't seen me solve problems before. Once I get first place, I don't believe she won't be tempted."
After he finished speaking, he clenched his fist, his gaze resolute.
Song Huan almost burst out laughing when she heard this.
He quickly turned back and followed Xiao Yunqing.
Xiao Yunqing was still fuming as she sat down in the corner.
"What kind of person is he, saying things like that on our first meeting?"
Song Huan sat next to her without saying a word.
Xiao Yunqing turned to look at him.
What were you laughing at just now?
"It's nothing."
"Come on, I saw you smile."
Song Huan thought for a moment and then said.
"I just thought that guy was pretty interesting."
"Interesting?" Xiao Yunqing's eyes widened. "He calls that interesting?"
Song Huan exclaimed, "Haven't you noticed? The schools with the worst grades have the most gifted students, and the schools with the best grades have the most amazing students!"
Xiao Yunqing stared at him for a while, then snorted.
"Anyway, I don't care. You get first place next week and let him see who's better."
Song Huan raised an eyebrow.
"Haven't you always thought you were number one?"
Xiao Yunqing was stunned for a moment.
Then she blushed.
"I...I was...that was..."
Song Huan laughed when she saw her stammering.
"Alright, I was just kidding."
