Wu Hongwen glanced at the girl and raised his eyebrows slightly, before looking away disinterestedly. “Look all you want, I’m going to go eat!”

 The other young man reluctantly looked away, then tugged at Wu Hongwen jealously. “If that love letter were written to me, there wouldn’t be any of your business anymore! Talk about wasting your resources!”

 “Stop making a fool of yourself.” Wu Hongwen rolled his eyes in exasperation and threw his basketball in the air as he walked away.

 The other boy mock gasped dramatically and followed after Wu Hongwen. “Hey, I thought you were my friend!”

 Meanwhile, Gu Xiqiao finished eating her lunch and went back to class, and listened attentively to the teachers in the lessons that came after.

 The class teacher that had taken the time to check back on her nodded in satisfaction.

 After school let out in the evening, he requested Gu Xiqiao to stay behind for a discussion.

 “Which university do you want to apply for?” The class teacher asked directly, holding the exam results from earlier. “Your mathematics is quite good, and I think your English still has a lot of potential to be improved. Math and sciences are connected in some ways too, and if you focus on your general sciences you can probably raise it by another ten points or so…With this degree of grades, you can probably get into a good university.”

 Gu Xiqiao blinked, and replies honestly, “I’ve never thought of it.”

 She had never thought of this question before, but since she had attended B University in her past life, she had no intention of replicating any of her choices in this one.

 The class teacher hadn’t expected this answer. He had thought of many answers like S University, B University, or A University for example, but he had never thought that she would reply like that. “Young people should have their own goals so that they have the motivation to study! You’re talented and smart enough, so don’t waste your time!”

 Gu Xiqiao smiled and nodded. “I’ll decide according to my results in the next exam.”

 “Alright, but aim higher this time, and don’t relax too much!” The class teacher didn’t ask anymore. “You can go home now, take care of your safety okay?”

 Gu Xiqiao nodded, and as she turned away she glanced at the paper filled with calculations on the table and smiled. “Teacher, you have to use likelihood functions, or else you won’t be able to solve this question.”

 The girl seemed like an elegant and impish elf as she said so, and the other teachers who were listening in on the conversation smiled with good intentions.

 The class teacher blinked and seriously tried to solve the question with a likelihood function, and realized that Gu Xiqiao was correct. He was stunned for a few seconds before he smiled, his eyes turning into crescents in glee. “Smart.”

 Likelihood functions was a calculation method usually taught in universities, but it was taught in passing because the national finals had a reputation for including questions that weren’t in the official syllabus. For this girl to be able to use this method so quickly, it meant that she had spent a lot of time and effort in practice.

 The teacher next to him looked over jealously. “If her English were a little better, she would be able to join the rocket class with no problems. Don’t neglect her alright?”
