Chapter 539: Her Proud Moment Had Finally Come
Yi Lianfan looked at his desk buddy with a mysterious expression without saying a word for a long time.
The moment his desk buddy saw his reaction, a possibility suddenly struck him and his eyes opened wide. “How much did Huo Yao from the Experimental Class get?”
“300,” said Yi Lianfan eventually.
“Oh god! 300 marks. Isn’t that a full score?” His desk buddy opened his mouth so wide in shock that his chin nearly touched the ground.
Although he knew Huo Yao was the champion of the International Quiz Contest, it was not a Math competition. Also, Cheng Jie from Flying Eagle Middle School was far more famous than Huo Yao since he had a long track record of winning.
It was normal that he had not considered Huo Yao right away.
“What kind of prodigy is Huo Yao? She ended up being shockingly smarter than Cheng Jie!” sighed Yi Lianfan’s desk buddy once more.
No wonder Yi Lianfan said that Cheng Jie might not necessarily be the champion this time. She had already scored full marks. How could anyone outdo her?
At best, they might both be the champions.
Yi Lianfan’s desk buddy’s phone vibrated. “My friend texted me. Let me see if he knows Cheng Jie’s score…”
Yi Lianfan’s eyes landed on the phone with a slight look of anxiety. He felt even more nervous about it than checking his own results.
“Lianfan, my friend has written back that Cheng Jie scored 295 marks and stood first in his city.” Yi Lianfan’s desk buddy raised his head and placed his phone in front of Yi Lianfan for a look.
Yi Lianfan’s hands clenched slightly but he quickly relaxed and touched his forehead. He could not help laughing.
Why had he been so anxious? No matter how good Cheng Jie was, how could he compare to Huo Yao?
Also, was it that easy to score full marks?
“I heard the Math teacher say that the ranking in the competition is used to determine the organizer for the next year. Whichever school’s student is the champion, they get to host the event the following year.”
His desk buddy paused before he suddenly looked excited. “No.1 Middle School hasn’t won the right to host the event in three years. Now that Huo Yao is the champion, we can finally lift our heads high.”
Although Yi Lianfan was not as excited as his desk buddy about hosting the event, he felt proud too.
Since this brought glory to the school, it was a joyful occasion.
“Oh yes. The people from Flying Eagle Middle School are asking about our scores. Shall I tell them about Huo Yao?” asked Yi Lianfan’s desk buddy as he glanced at his WeChat.
Yi Lianfan tilted his head sideways. “Coming first is a good thing.”
His desk buddy raised his brow. “That’s true. It’s about time that they see how strong we truly are.”
He sent Huo Yao’s results to his friend. The text he sent even seemed cocky.
Lu Xia was pretending to read as she eavesdropped and heard every word that Yi Lianfan and his desk buddy exchanged. She clenched her fists so tightly that she almost ripped the page off.
Lu Xia had participated in the Math League when she was a senior in her past life. Since she could remember the questions a little, she had signed up for the competition.
She buried herself in similar Math League questions for ages and kept practicing in the hope of proving herself.
She was very happy when she found out that she scored 263 marks and ranked 15th in the city. She felt her proud moment had finally come, but things ended up…
Huo Yao had shockingly scored full marks again and was the champion. She even helped the school to win the right to host the next Math League.
Lu Xia pursed her lips tightly. She found it ironic that she had worked so hard on the Math League.
