Chapter 115 720

Before Chen Yuan went to sleep, his phone received a message in the evil group chat named 'Trio'.

Liu Chengxi: Did you guys get your scores yet?

Since this bastard took the initiative to send a message, it means he did well on the test, is in a good mood, and wants to show off.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and decided not to blab about it everywhere.

Xin Bao isn't an outsider, so he can say whatever he wants, but in front of others, he should be a little more low-key.

Chen Yuan: The exam just ended, how could the scores be out?

Liu Chengxi: Hehe, you don't know this, but top students usually get their papers graded early.

Chen Yuan: So, Chengxi-ge has already had his graded?

Liu Chengxi: I actively asked the teacher to grade mine first, and then the school graded the top five...

Damn, so frank?

If it were me, I definitely wouldn't say it like that.

Even if I went to the teacher to ask, I'd say, "Oh, the school took the initiative to grade mine first."

Anyway, people from Fourth High and Eleventh High wouldn't know, so I'd just brag.

As for the truth, I'd keep it to myself.

I can only say that Chengxi-ge is really a bit too straightforward.

The first time I saw you, I thought you were a handsome guy who was hard to deal with and arrogant.

Turns out you're so derpy.

Chen Yuan: So, what's our Chengxi-ge's score?

Not long after Chen Yuan sent this message, he received a quick reply.

Liu Chengxi: 700

Damn, awesome!

If I got 700 on the bare exam, I'd show off like this too.

Chen Yuan: Diao diao diao, you've become a Sheng Zi (holy son) of Yi Zong (a sect) now!

Liu Chengxi: What the hell is a Sheng Zi of Yi Zong?

Chen Yuan: Don't you read online? It's the most awesome person in a sect.

Liu Chengxi: That's definitely not me. The top student in our school is Zhou Wusheng, with 709.

Chen Yuan: Isn't that the big brother who scored 118 before, second only to Yi-ge and Liu Yiyang from another school?

Liu Chengxi: This time, the math and science questions were a bit challenging, so those who are strong in math and science were pulled up. As for those who are a little weaker in English and Chinese, their ranking went down.

Liu Chengxi: Zhou Wusheng's previous ranking was even a little lower than Shen Yating, but this time, his true abilities were revealed in the Four High Joint Exam. This score would be considered the top scorer in a Xiaonian (minor year).

Liu Chengxi: Of course, I feel like the students from Haizhong in Ningcheng probably have even higher scores.

Chen Yuan: Why go far when you can find it nearby?

Chen Yuan @Shi Yi

After a while, Shi Yi sent a dog tilting its head emoticon.

The classic dog tilting its head.

The aura of a powerhouse is fully revealed!

I feel like it's second only to Xinyu's domineering swallowing of gold ingots in terms of class.

Liu Chengxi: What about you? You're well-rounded this time, so you should be within your range, right?

Shi Yi: I don't know.

Liu Chengxi: The school didn't grade your paper early?

Shi Yi: The last time, Ke Jiayuan was first, so they should be grading his, right?

Chen Yuan: Ke Jiayuan is nothing. The school will definitely grade yours. Go ask.

Shi Yi: Ok, I'll ask my homeroom teacher.

After he sent this message, Chen Yuan and Liu Chengxi began to look forward to it.

What will his score be?

Could it be even stronger than Zhou Wusheng?

709 is already considered the top scorer in a Xiaonian.

Of course, according to Liu Chengxi, this exam is perfect for a super war god like Shi Yi, who is incredibly strong in physics, chemistry, and biology.

Chen Yuan attaches great importance to this destined rival.

You definitely won't be worse than Zhou Wusheng.

About three minutes later, Shi Yi came back.

Shi Yi: Graded.

Liu Chengxi: What's the score? What's the score?

It's obvious that he's anxious.

After all, he's always considered Shi Yi his destined rival.

Then, Shi Yi responded to these two destined rivals separately.

Shi Yi: 720

"..."

The air instantly froze.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan felt a suffocating feeling like a python coiling around him.

How much?

You're telling me how much?!

720?

How much is the total score?!

You only lost thirty points in six subjects.

I lost thirty points in Chinese alone!

And I'm supposed to be your destined what?!

Liu Chengxi: .........

Chen Yuan: Why is the person upstairs ovulating?

Liu Chengxi: What the hell!

Liu Chengxi: Is this score even humanly possible? If this score were placed in the last ten years, it would be the top score in at least nine years!

Chen Yuan: What about the other year?

Liu Chengxi: That year was relatively easy. There were more than twenty people in Xiahai with scores above 700.

Chen Yuan: I'm numb. This is the episode I'm most afraid of. I feel like I've encountered a ghost.

Shi Yi: There's still a year and a half left. I might not always have this score.

Chen Yuan: Yeah, you still want to improve, right?

Shi Yi: Don't exaggerate. I can't improve anymore.

Liu Chengxi: Even if you stand still, you're still the top scorer!

Liu Chengxi: Wait, if it's this score, Haizhong and Fuzhong in Ningcheng couldn't possibly have it either!

If Haizhong and Fuzhong don't have it, and the strongest Zhou Wusheng in First High only got 709, then that means Shi Yi's top score... is a big one!

Damn it, provincial top scorer!

Chen Yuan was thinking.

How proud would the top student of the four top sects in Haidong be?!

Shi Yi was sitting at his desk, spreading out his manga and flipping through the pages one by one. Next to him was a tablet logged into QQ.

He usually used the tablet for studying.

The reason he checked QQ was because he hadn't set this group to Do Not Disturb, so the sound of receiving a message was particularly noticeable.

Earlier, he had asked his homeroom teacher, and the teacher had excitedly told him, "You're really calm. You're only asking me about your scores now."

Then, he sent him the scores for each subject.

Math, 150.

Physics, 110.

Biology, 87

Chemistry, 96

English, 146

Chinese, 131

This was the best he had ever done.

The score in each subject had reached the limit he could achieve.

However, when he estimated the scores before, he had never thought of going above 720.

After all, this score was a bit high and didn't match his level.

He thought his level should be between 715 and 718.

Of course, he was sure that he was number one in Fourth High after the exam.

He even saw Ke Jiayuan sweating profusely while writing physics when he was doing the test.

With this somewhat wicked rival eliminated, the remaining few were obviously inferior.

However, he wasn't complacent about it.

The so-called Four High Joint Exam was just a preliminary test.

No matter how high its gold content was or how well it reflected actual ability, it wasn't the same as the final college entrance exam.

It was obviously too early to celebrate now.

Shi Yi's goal has always been only one, which is the Xiahai top scorer.

He might have a chance to compete for the Haidong Province top scorer, but he wouldn't force it.

The world is very vast.

There must be many people who are better than him.

The two schools in Ningcheng, especially Haizhong, have a high probability of producing provincial top scorers.

It can only be said that...

He only has one expectation: to pour out all his efforts to complete this last, grand ranking exam.

He felt bored.

Because the only thing that could make him feel excited and recognize as romantic was an exam.

Liu Chengxi: Forget it, living steadily is the art of excellence.

Liu Chengxi: @Chen Yuan, quickly go ask anyone what your score is.

Chen Yuan: Bro, I'm in the fourth exam hall.

Liu Chengxi: But you got 115 in the math competition, improved by more than 100 points in less than three months. If I were the principal, I'd pay more attention to you than the Sheng Zi.

Chen Yuan: Our Sheng Zi isn't bad either. Don't underestimate him.

Liu Chengxi: Whatever, I only care about you.

"..." Shi Yi looked at this sentence and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Isn't it a bit strange?

Chen Yuan: You're being so ambiguous, bro.

Liu Chengxi: That's not what I meant!

Liu Chengxi: Hurry up and ask. I'm very concerned about your score.

Honestly, Shi Yi was also very concerned.

At an improvement rate of about forty points per month, Chen Yuan might reach 655 this time?

But that's unlikely.

After passing 600 points, how could the improvement rate be the same as before?

Estimating, it's probably 645?

That's about right.

Then, at the end of the second year of high school and in the middle of the third year, he'd enter the 700-point range.

Of course, that's if Chen Yuan has a high talent.

If the problem with his Chinese hasn't been solved, then it's impossible to reach that score.

While waiting, Chen Yuan sent a message.

Chen Yuan: It seems like they really graded mine early.

Liu Chengxi: Send it! Send it!

Then, Chen Yuan sent a chat record with the time and profile picture cropped out.

Shi Yi only glanced at the score before it was imprinted in his mind.

Then, he calmly sent two messages in the 'Trio' group chat.

The first one was a dog tilting its head emoticon.

The second one was: You're a bit fierce.

After sending them, he closed the tablet.

He closed the manga.

Then, he put them all aside.

Holding a pen, he flipped out a Chinese test paper that hadn't been written on.

………

After seeing Chen Yuan's score, Liu Chengxi immediately closed the English tutoring materials he was writing.

He stood up, clenched his fists, and felt very complicated.

He had been hit twice in one day.

The first time was by the legendary 720.

The second time was when he found out that Chen Yuan was different from him, was someone whose paper was graded early, and the gap between them was less than forty points.

This double blow made him briefly tired of studying.

Of course, only for this evening.

He still had to study tomorrow.

He still had to go to tutoring classes.

But now, he couldn't help it. He wanted to go out and cool off.

Wearing a collarless, hoodless sweatshirt and loose trousers, he casually grabbed a pair of canvas shoes, didn't even say hello to his mother, and went downstairs.

It's over.

He can't compare to Shi Yi at all.

Chen Yuan, whom he had looked down on before, seems to have a frightening talent. He's being caught up to little by little!

If he can't even be a rival to these two people in the future and is completely on a different level, then he'll be too embarrassed!

Thinking of this, he lowered his head, covered his face with one hand, and felt complicated.

"Hey? Liu Chengxi?"

At this time, a voice stopped him.

Liu Chengxi opened his eyes and saw Shen Yating, wearing a pure white down jacket and with slightly curled long hair hanging down, standing in front of him. After looking him up and down, she asked, "Do you want to freeze to death?"

Like Liu Chengxi, Shen Yating's parents rented a house near the school so she could commute.

Coincidentally, the two rented houses in the same building, just on different floors.

"I want to cool off and calm down," Liu Chengxi said.

"Did you break up?" Shen Yating smiled and asked curiously.

"What the hell? I haven't even been in a relationship, so how could I break up?" Liu Chengxi said dismissively.

"Then why?"

"Nothing."

Liu Chengxi didn't want to talk about it, but when he saw Shen Yating, he suddenly thought of something, and then said with a bland expression, "Your score is 701."

"How did you know?" Shen Yating asked in confusion because she didn't even know herself.

"I asked the homeroom teacher," Liu Chengxi said.

"Wait?" Shen Yating was stunned and asked in a puzzled tone, "You asked the homeroom teacher specifically about my score?"

"Yeah."

"Didn't he say anything strange?" Shen Yating vaguely felt something was wrong.

I'm a serious good student. Don't create scandals for me!

"He did," Liu Chengxi thought for a moment and said, "He said, 'Why do you care about Shen Yating's score?'"

"What did you say?" Shen Yating panicked.

"I said I was comparing it with mine... No, why are you getting angry?" Liu Chengxi felt that this person was anxious.

Very anxious.

After hearing Liu Chengxi's answer, Shen Yating wasn't angry anymore.

On the contrary, she wanted to laugh now.

Hahahahahaha—

The homeroom teacher was asking about one thing, and you answered about another.

This man is so funny.

"Pfft." Shen Yating suppressed her laughter and asked curiously, "Then what? What was the result of the comparison?"

Speaking of this, Liu Chengxi became even more annoyed.

This third blow came so quickly.

But after all, he started it, so even if he was unwilling to face it, he could only mutter, "One point less than you."

"Hahahahaha." Shen Yating laughed again, not hiding it at all. But she wasn't the type of girl who would make pig noises when laughing. Even when she laughed like this, her breathing wasn't messy, and her tone didn't go up and down.

"What are you laughing at? It's just one point," Liu Chengxi was a little annoyed. Why is this person so speechless?

Is just one point considered a gap?

Could you use that one point to throw me off to some other school?

Anyway, with Shi Yi around, everyone's dream of becoming the top scorer is shattered.

"It's okay, one point is already very funny." Shen Yating covered her mouth, her eyes narrowed into waves.

"Laugh, laugh. You won't have many chances to laugh," Liu Chengxi's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't want to talk to this woman.

Of course, if he won, he'd be very willing to talk.

That way, he could trample on her head and go back!

As for now, he doesn't even want to talk to her.

"Why don't you tie your hair up? It looks so weird."

However, he suddenly realized that she had her hair down, so he couldn't help but ask.

After all, this was the first time he had seen it.

"Weird? Can you even talk?" Shen Yating protested.

"It's just that I haven't seen it before. It's the first time I've seen it now... Ah, forget it. No comment."

Liu Chengxi didn't like getting involved with girls, and he was even less willing to leave himself open to accusations of disrespecting women on this topic.

Although some girls always asked him, "What do you think of me?"

If he evaluates truthfully, they'll get angry.

If he's a little hypocritical and praises them, they'll be a little relentless.

Ugh, boring.

"Then you evaluate it." Shen Yating became interested, stared at Liu Chengxi, tilted her head slightly, and had a provocative aura.

Liu Chengxi didn't want to cause trouble, and he didn't want to lie, so after looking at her, he said in a compromise, "It's pretty good."

"..." Shen Yating was stunned.

She didn't expect this kind of answer to come out of this man's mouth.

"Before..." Liu Chengxi thought for a moment and said, "It was pretty good before too."

That way, she shouldn't get angry, right?

"Pfft."

Shen Yating couldn't help but laugh again.

"Laugh all you want. I'm leaving."

He always felt like this guy was laughing at him because of that one point.

Liu Chengxi didn't want to be humiliated, so he turned around and left.

Then, a crisp 'slap!'

Liu Chengxi, who was hit hard on the back, covered his waist, bit his lip, turned his head, and wanted to curse.

At this time, Shen Yating ran away.

Then, she stopped in front of the unit door and shouted with a smile, "Come upstairs. Do you really want to freeze to death?"
