A sudden exclamation snapped Bao Gucheng’s wild thoughts back to reality—
"You can check now, the scores are finally available!"
Gu Pingzhi excitedly jumped up and entered Gu Pinting’s student ID into the phone.
Students nationwide were checking their results at this mont, causing the network to be horribly congested, with the student ID spinning and spinning... making people extraordinarily anxious.
Finally, a string of numbers popped up.
Gu Pinting: Math 140 points; Chinese 140 points; English 140 points; Integrated Humanities 280 points. Total 700 points!
Gu Pingzhi stared at each "14" in a daze, muttering, "I’m dood, I’m dood, am I seeing things? My Pinting was supposed to get perfect scores in all subjects, what is this rubbish score?
Ordinary people would have been ecstatic with a 140 in one subject.
But for Gu Pinting, who was used to being the top of the school, this was really too bad.
The key is, if the perfect scores trending on Weibo weren’t achieved by Gu Pinting, who else could have done it?
Gu Pinting’s face turned ashen, and she said to Gu Jingyan beside her, "Cousin, was that perfect score you?"
Gu Jingyan replied to her dismissively with irritation, "No!"
He glanced at the main table, at the back of Xi Zuzi, and couldn’t help but feel a bit gloomy, "If soone had tipped off about the exam direction, I wouldn’t have lost those twenty points in Integrated Humanities."
Gu Pinting exclaid, "You also lost twenty points in Integrated Humanities? Brother, then you’re not over 700 points?"
Gu Jingyan couldn’t be bothered to talk to her.
It was Qin Tao, beaming with happiness, who answered on his behalf, "Our Xiao Yan scored 730. If it weren’t for those lost points in Integrated Humanities, he too would have gotten a perfect score in all subjects."
Oh my, the countryside not only didn’t hold back my son but also helped him improve his grades. Now I feel that my son occasionally digging grave pits isn’t entirely unacceptable.
Gu Pinting hadn’t expected her attempt to gossip to backfire, being totally overshadowed instead.
Gu Jingyan’s score was a whole 30 points higher than hers.
This creates a huge gap in university and major selection when it cos to college aspirations.
Feeling unsettled, Gu Pinting decided to turn to Xi Rubao instead: "Have you checked your results?"
Little Fish was grinning at the phone.
Hearing this, she smiled like a blooming flower, "I have! What, you want to gossip? I’m not telling you!"
Gu Pinting choked, just about to say sothing.
Little Fish turned sweetly to Mr. Gu and said, "Grandfather, I scored 2 points higher than Cousin, 732 points!"
What?
This rural person scored even higher than Gu Jingyan?
Gu Pinting was about to crush the glass in her hand!
This duplicitous rural person, saying she wouldn’t tell her, but announcing it to everyone at triple the volu, making sure everyone knew!
"Amazing, amazing, it turns out Second Miss Xi is the highest scorer tonight. Then your grandfather’s jade button will be passed on to you."
Xi Rubao laughed even sweeterly, "No, my sister’s score hasn’t been announced yet."
Mr. Gu coughed, "Zuzi, don’t rush, take your ti. There are so many people tonight, you can check in a couple of days."
A look of concern that his granddaughter might be upset.
Xi Zuzi: "Hmm."
Hearing this made Gu Pinting and her mother feel even more uncomfortable, blurting out, "Don’t wait, everyone’s here today, we can comfort you if you don’t make it!"
Xi Zuzi squinted her eyes slightly.
The Ancestor really doesn’t want to embarrass you...
After all, even raising a hand to do so is quite tiring.
"If that’s the case, then, let’s check."
