Chapter 435: 170 first three are some kind of devils! Meet_2
“`
Upon looking, he was too late to close his mouth that was agape.
Class Eight’s scores were always good, especially for people like Chen Zhu and Ren Wanxuan.
Last semester, Ning Xiao exceeded Chen Zhu in the mid-term exam; however, at that time, Chen Zhu was at least the second in rank, but now—
Bao Boyu looked at the names in the first row.
Chen Zhu
Chinese, 136, 1, 6
Math, 142, 1, 4
English, 141, 1, 4
Science comprehensive, 281, 1, 4
Total score, 700, 1, 4
Chen Zhu was almost first in every subject in class, as usual, with rankings almost the same in school and class, occasionally switching places with Ning Xiao.
But now, he was consistently ranked fourth from the top in every subject.
Both Chen Zhu and Ren Wanxuan felt the disturbance on the podium and stepped forward to check the rankings.
The latter half of the semester had been extremely stressful for Ren Wanxuan, who had hired a tutor charging a hefty fee, and she had believed she would confidently be able to return to her former level alongside Chen Zhu, only to find—
Not only had she not recovered, but her ranking had even dropped?
Chen Zhu stared intently at the number “4” for a long time before turning to find the class teacher in the office.
Ren Wanxuan followed suit.
A wordless silence spread from the entire podium; after a long while, someone finally broke it, “I only have 590 points, and with 700 points to be at fourth, I want to know, what kind of demonic scores are the top three?”.
The office.
The Class Eight homeroom teacher wasn’t surprised to see Chen Zhu and Ren Wanxuan, “You’ve come?”
“What are the scores for the top three?” Chen Zhu’s face was exceptionally cold. He looked only at the homeroom teacher, his words terse.
“They’re right here, take a look,” the Class Eight homeroom teacher handed another ranking sheet to Chen Zhu.
Chen Zhu and Ren Wanxuan looked down to see the overall ranking list.
NO.1 Ning Xiao, 741
NO.2 Bai Lian, 737
NO.3 Tang Ming, 736
The top three had pulled away from Chen Zhu by thirty to forty points, a stark difference in scores.
The two stared at the paper, unable to snap back to reality for quite some time.
“How is this possible?” Ren Wanxuan’s face turned pale; she had worked so hard with Chen Zhu during the winter break, and now she felt a sense of powerlessness.
Of course, what she and Chen Zhu didn’t know was that this gap was actually not significant, given that math and physics were far too simple for Bai Lian and the rest.
When it came to the difficulty level of the college entrance exam, the gap would be even more apparent.

Evening, bubble tea shop.
Ning Xiao went home early, while Bai Lian, Tang Ming, Jian Zhe, and a few others were reviewing inside.
Yang Lin still had two hours of classes to teach.
The bubble tea shop was larger than ordinary stores, well decorated and affordable. Although its cakes were not as delicious as before, they still tasted better than most of the other stores, and most people still liked to come here for their purchases.
Xu Nanjing and Xiao Bingwen, two young masters, stood at the door, also quite a scene.
Bai Lian sat by the window, concentrating on her problems.
Not far away, two girls were using their phones to take pictures of the window, “Did you get it?”
“Got it, got it!”
“Quick, take a picture for me, I want to be in the same frame as Sister Bai.”
“…”
When Xu Nanjing and Xiao Bingwen arrived, they saw such a spectacle; though they knew Bai Lian was attractive, wasn’t this a bit much?
Her popularity really is quite something,” Xu Nanjing said with a laugh once he saw it.
Xiao Bingwen stood next to Xu Nanjing, rather surprised, “You seem to think highly of her”.
He knew Xu Nanjing wasn’t easy to get along with.
“Can’t quite say,” Xu Nanjing took out a cigarette. From childhood, he was the kind of personality that couldn’t be controlled by his family, warm yet wild, often hitting it off with those who shared some common interests.
Bai Lian, seemingly a well-behaved student, however, got along quite well with him.
He entered and, as usual, ordered a few cups of bubble tea for Bai Lian and the others.
Once Yang Lin completed the order, she turned to serve the next customer; after Xu Nanjing left, a regular store employee finally withdrew his gaze from Xu Nanjing, “Yang Lin, do you know him?”
“Not really.”
“His clothes look really expensive, like my month’s salary…” the employee clicked his tongue and increased the pace of crushing ice.
Another boy added, “More like your year’s salary. A month might not cut it.”

Xu Nanjing didn’t interrupt Bai Lian and the others’ study session.
The two were just waiting for Jiang Fulai.
After most of the students from First High left, Jiang Fulai’s car slowly arrived.
It was getting dark late in Xiangcheng, and the sun hadn’t set yet.
In the twilight, Jiang Fulai’s tall figure appeared both solitary and cold.
A cursory glance swept over, causing Xiao Bingwen to instinctively avoid eye contact, struck with surprise—was Jiang Fulai in a bad mood today?
He didn’t dare to look at Jiang Fulai again.
“Almost time,” Xu Nanjing put out his cigarette and stood up straight, “the racetrack is cleaned up. Chael will definitely love this feast.”
