[BL]Reborn With An Old Enemy On the Day of Our Marriage

Chapter 40 - The Second Monthly Test

On the day the results for the second monthly test came out, all the remedial group members didn’t pay much attention to their own scores but instead sought out Lin Qian’s ranking first.

As soon as the results were posted, everyone was relieved, but at the same time, they felt some regrets.

Lin Qian didn’t let everyone worry for long. This month’s results showed that he had returned to normal. Unfortunately, Lin Qian only ended up in second place, with first still shockingly going to Huo YeRui.

Huo YeRui’s results this month were no less monumental than last month. This was because there was a math question in the test that would usually be found in a university olympiad competition. The question type was very complex and had a number of steps needed to be solved. Many students didn’t even understand the question. In the end, Huo YeRui was the only one in their entire grade to get the question right.

When the results were posted, the math teacher for the top classes and the leader of the school’s mathematics research club, praised Huo YeRui. But he also expressed his regrets towards Lin Qian because when he added this particular question to the test, he had actually expected Lin Qian to be the one to solve it.

However, Lin Qian hadn’t been able to solve this supplementary question and in the end, lost to Huo YeRui by five points.

After the math results were announced, many of the top students went to Huo YeRui to congratulate and learn from him.

“Did Huo YeRui secretly take extra lessons during summer vacation? Why is he so fierce this year? He got first in the rankings for two consecutive months!”

“He’s pretty amazing. I didn’t understand that question at all.”

“Hey, hey, Classmate Huo, don’t be so secretive. Why don’t you share how you improved so much in such a small amount of time!”

……

Huo YeRui very generously shared his experiences with a smile. “I don’t have a secret. It’s mainly through hard work. I signed up for several cram schools over the summer and even joined a Math Olympiad class. I studied non-stop, and I’d review until midnight…I was just lucky this time that the question on the test was the same in the Olympiad class I took…”

Huo YeRui’s attitude was quite sincere. Everyone nodded as they listened to him. Of course, some people couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.

“Dang, listening to that makes me feel useless and lazy.”

“So YeRui actually studies this hard. Now I regret traveling over the summer vacation. I should have participated in some classes instead.”

“Not only is he a hard worker, but he’s also talented. I went to cram school over the summer vacation too, but my grades haven’t improved all that much.”

“I also go through questions until late at night, ah….unfortunately my diligence isn’t enough.”

“I’m shedding tears of envy.”

……

While everyone recognized that Huo YeRui worked hard, his ranking also affirmed that he had great talent. Huo YeRui was neither boastful or overly modest. He made an effort to sell himself as the new top student who had talent but also worked hard.

Lin Qian quietly watched Huo YeRui pretend while he texted Zheng PingQing.

Zheng PingQing: Warm congratulations to Zheng PingQing’s boyfriend for getting first place in No. 12’s second monthly test.

Zheng PingQing: As a reward, Zheng PingQing will spend a lot of money to buy a number of couples clothes and accessories for his boyfriend.

Zheng PingQing: Including but not limited to: Couple’s clothes, couple’s shoes, couple’s schoolbag, couple’s stationery, couple’s underwear, and so on.
