Huo Yao replied to Yi Lianfan: [I haven’t checked it yet.]
Then she raised her head to tell Meng Ying her candidate number.
Meng Ying entered the numbers one by one and hit enter.
The webpage took some time to buffer before the result came out.
Part A: 120 marks. Part B: 180 marks. Total marks: 300 marks. City ranking: 1.
Even though Meng Yao was aware of how smart Huo Yao was, she could not help feeling stunned after seeing her score.
Never mind the questions in part A, but the questions in part B were so difficult. How could she possibly score full marks in such a contest?
Meng Ying held her phone for a long time before she turned to look at Huo Yao who looked calm as usual. Her lips parted and she wanted to speak, but ended up closing her mouth.
It was best if she did not ask. If she asked, Huo Yao would hurt her feelings again.
Huo Yao raised her brow when she noticed Meng Ying’s hesitance. “Do you have it?”
Meng Ying nodded. “You stood first in the city with full marks.”
Huo Yao seemed unsurprised. She calmly veered her eyes and lowered her head to reply to Yi Lianfan: [300 marks.]
Yi Lianfan: [... Please accept my kneel. Also, can you send me the solution for the last question in part B?]
Huo Yao: [...]
Yi Lianfan closed his WeChat and opened the Math League result inquiry page again. He had scored 285 marks and was ranked second in the city.
Even though he was incapable of catching up to Huo Yao, he was not sad at all.
After all, she was no ordinary woman.
Yi Lianfan turned his phone off.
Yi Lianfan’s desk buddy came back from the bathroom and sat down. He looked at Yi Lianfan and asked him. “How much did you score in the Math League?”
Yi Lianfan gathered his thoughts and told him the marks.
The moment his desk buddy heard the result, he stuck his thumb out. “Sure enough, you live up to your name! I just checked my result in the toilet. Sigh! I only scored slightly over 200 marks.”
Yi Lianfan raised his hand and patted his shoulder. A thought crossed his mind and he asked him. “I remember you said that you know someone from Flying Eagle Middle School.”
“Uh huh. What about it?” The desk buddy nodded.
“Didn’t someone from Flying Eagle Middle School challenge our school? Can you ask that friend of yours how much Cheng Jie scored?” asked Yi Lianfan.
For the time being, only the provincial and city level ranking was available. The national ranking had not been released yet. Although Huo Yao had scored 300 marks and was the unsurpassable champion, Yi Lianfan wanted to know Cheng Jie’s results.
His desk buddy took out his phone unhurriedly. “Let me ask him. Since Cheng Jie is a renowned Math genius, I reckon he would be first in the country.”
His desk buddy spoke while sending the text.
It was not that he did not have faith in Yi Lianfan. However, Cheng Jie was a real master and had participated in countless Math petitions and was a champion.
Yi Lianfan raised his brow and replied. “Not necessarily.”
Before Huo Yao appeared in his life, he used to think the same way. Now that she had, everyone else was nothing but trash.
His desk buddy clicked send before he raised his head and looked at Yi Lianfan in surprise. “What do you mean not necessarily? Oh yes. You must be top in the city, right?”
The Math League was really hard this time around. The questions in part B were so incredibly tough that even the Math teacher said anyone who could score over 100 marks was considered to be a genius.
