Chapter 42 Monthly Exam Results
The soft sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Ning Xi's cheeks and highlighting the contours of her delicate nose.
As beautiful as a painting—
Ye Fan was mesmerized.
At this moment, four words appeared in his mind.
Skin as white as snow, bones as pure as jade!!!
Seeing Ye Fan staring at her intently, Ning Xi blushed, her ears burning. Embarrassed and annoyed, she lightly kicked him under the table.
Who stares at someone like that...
"Ahem..."
Coming back to his senses, Ye Fan didn't seem embarrassed at all.
People were naturally drawn to beautiful things. It was instinct.
He was no exception!
Besides, he was looking at his wife... well, not yet.
But it didn't matter, she would be sooner or later!
"The last problem on the math test paper is quite difficult. I don't think many people will be able to solve it this time."
Ye Fan said, "I didn't have time to tutor you in math before because time was tight. It's my fault."
"But it's okay, it's just a monthly exam, not even the first mock exam. Don't worry about it."
"How can I not worry about it?"
Ning Xi's eyes held a hint of reproach. "The results of this monthly exam are related to whether we can enter the Tsinghua University Elite Class. I think it's very important!"
She wasn't competitive in other matters, but when it came to studying, she was extremely ambitious!
Moreover, the three teachers in the Tsinghua University Elite Class were all retired professors from Tsinghua University. Their teaching ability was beyond doubt.
If she could enter the Tsinghua University Elite Class, she would definitely be able to improve herself further.
Ye Fan tapped his fingers lightly on the desk and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xi, you can look at this from a different angle. You might not get those 12 points, but others might not get them either."
"In other words, everyone is on the same starting line, so what's there to worry about?"
He had learned from Luo Yumeng that Ning Xi's ranking usually hovered around fourth or fifth in the grade, and there were twenty-one spots in the Tsinghua University Elite Class.
She was guaranteed entry!
"Can you get those 12 points?"
"Guess."
"You can?"
Ning Xi blinked.
"Yes."
Ye Fan nodded, his tone calm.
Ning Xi nodded slightly. She didn't think Ye Fan was bragging.
From the annotations he had written, she understood what a gap there was between them.
After a moment of thought, she asked softly, "Ye Fan, how many points do you think you can get this time?"
"How many points? Let me calculate."
Ye Fan pretended to pinch his fingers and smiled faintly. "If there are no surprises, your deskmate will be the first place in this monthly exam."
His words were devoid of boasting; it was as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Ning Xi didn't react for a moment, looking extremely adorable.
Her deskmate???
(⊙o⊙)…
...Wasn't that just Ye Fan?!
"What about if there are surprises?"
"There are no surprises for me."
"The exam results aren't out yet, don't speak too soon, you might get slapped in the face."
"No, I won't."
Ye Fan shook his head calmly.
Looking away, he rummaged through his desk drawer with his right hand, took out a red bean cake, and threw it into his mouth, not forgetting to comment as he ate.
"Delicious, I didn't know you were such a good cook."
Hearing this, Ning Xi's eyes widened, her face flushing slightly.
It was a sign of guilt...
Deng Yu, sitting in the front row, turned his head and stared at Ye Fan who was talking to Ning Xi, his eyes full of anger.
"Hmph!"
After winning the bet this time, he would humiliate this annoying guy severely.
No one could touch the girl he had his eyes on!
If Ye Fan knew what Deng Yu was thinking, he would definitely sneer.
Ning Xi belonged to him!
And only to him!!
Of course, he also belonged to Ning Xi!!!
"Ring—"
The bell rang for class.
All the students perked up, the word "anticipation" written all over their faces.
Yang Ting's figure appeared as expected.
She walked onto the podium, holding two transcripts. Feeling the expectant gazes of the students, a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes.
"It seems everyone is very excited about the results of this monthly exam."
"In that case, I won't waste any time. Let's start announcing the results of this monthly exam."
The students' eyes lit up.
"Wang Shuo, 601 points, ranked 17th in the class, 94th in the grade."
"Su Ke, 674 points, ranked fourth in the class, 10th in the grade."
As soon as she finished speaking, many students started whispering among themselves.
"Su Ke made it into the top ten of the grade? She's been quietly working hard!"
"I can only say: our class monitor is awesome!!!"
"Wow, she made it into the top ten of the grade?"
...
The competition between the senior year classes was all about the number of students in the top ten of the grade.
Everyone knew this.
Su Ke's ranking had always been around fifteenth in the grade. Who would have thought that she could break into the top ten this time?!
This meant that they had a good chance of defeating Class 1 in this monthly exam competition...
Class 2 had only won once in the monthly exam competition. After a top student transferred schools last semester, they had never won again.
Thinking about beating Class 1, everyone felt a little excited.
"So awesome!"
Ning Xi waved her small hand, her face filled with joy.
Ye Fan's lips moved slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Xiao Xi, you're even more awesome than her..."
Yang Ting looked at Su Ke in the first row and praised, "You did well this time, keep working hard."
"Yes!"
Su Ke nodded with a smile.
To be honest, she was quite surprised by her own score.
Yang Ting continued announcing the scores.
"Zhao Wenhao, 365 points, last place in the class, last place in the grade."
"Pfft!"
"Holy shit, awesome!"
"Double champion, amazing!"
...
These comments were extremely harsh to Zhao Wenhao's ears. He lowered his head, his face burning with shame.
Yang Ting glanced at Zhao Wenhao and couldn't help but sigh softly.
You can't carve rotten wood!
Why did he have to use his connections to squeeze into Zhenhua High School, which was full of top students, when he could have gone to an ordinary school and had better grades? He was just making things difficult for himself.
She continued announcing the scores.
"Deng Yu, 691 points, ranked third in the class, sixth in the grade."
Hearing his score, Deng Yu's expression changed.
Third in the class?
Could it be...
Impossible!
Impossible!!!
"Zheng Ling, 613 points, ranked 13th in the class, 37th in the grade."
"Ning Xi, 718 points, ranked second in the class, second in the grade."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes and open their mouths in surprise.
Second in the class, second in the grade?
They knew very well what this meant.
The top scorer in the grade was in their Class 2...
Holy shit—!!!
Dozens of pairs of eyes turned towards Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was the first place in the last test, and he didn't lose a single point except for the essay he didn't write.
If anyone was the most likely to be the top scorer in the grade, it had to be him!
Ning Xi's clear eyes flickered, her gaze landing on Ye Fan's calm face.
She bit her lip lightly, recalling the conversation she had just had with Ye Fan.
He was so good... and so confident...
Was this what a super top student was like?
He was so strong!!!
Although it hadn't been announced yet, she was already certain.
Ye Fan was the top scorer in this monthly exam!
Yang Ting cleared her throat, her voice becoming louder.
"Ye Fan, 719 points, first place in the class, first place in the grade!"
