A street urchin turned academic genius, starting by saving the blind school beauty.

Chapter 51 Xu Qingwan's Promise

A week passed quickly, and soon it was time for the class placement exam.

This exam is the last time for students in the second year of high school to be divided into classes, and it is also the last chance for students in the regular classes to advance to the advanced classes.

If you still fail to get into the intensive class you wanted this time, the gap in grades will widen over time.

Xu Qingwan sat in the classroom reciting her lessons, secretly making up her mind.

When the exam seats were arranged, Lu Zhaoye was usually moved to the outside of the corridor because of his special position.

But for some reason, Lu Zhaoye's table was arranged next to Xu Qingwan's this time.

Although the two tables were not placed side by side, there was only a small aisle between them.

This way, Xu Qingwan could see Lu Zhaoye more easily.

She looked around and saw that even though it was exam day, everyone was still slumped over their desks, fast asleep.

Lu Zhaoye, quite unusually, did not lie down but instead flipped through his Chinese textbook, reading classical Chinese texts.

At this moment, Lu Zhaoye was covered in sweat. He felt a pang of regret for the classical Chinese text he had painstakingly memorized last night.

What teacher's advice to encourage learning? I've forgotten it all after a good night's sleep.

Lu Zhaoye wasn't worried about the other subjects at all, but there was just too much to memorize in Chinese; he simply couldn't keep up.

Lu Zhaoye was getting a little annoyed, so he simply closed the book and turned his head away in a huff.

He turned his head and saw Xu Qingwan looking at him; their eyes met.

Lu Zhaoye raised an eyebrow. "Oh, that shrimp-headed girl is peeking at me again." He leaned closer.

"Class monitor, if you enjoy admiring my stunning good looks so much, why don't you sit next to me from now on?"

Xu Qingwan hurriedly turned her head, but no matter how fast she turned, Lu Zhaoye still saw the panic in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you shy?"

Lu Zhaoye continued his cheeky antics, a grin on his face.

Although the class monitor sometimes looks down, his scared look is really funny.

Seeing Lu Zhaoye's smug expression, Xu Qingwan pouted and lightly punched him with her fist.

"Who wants to sit next to you? I don't want to!"

Lu Zhaoye smiled, his eyes crinkling, "I don't believe you."

Xu Qingwan: ......

"Good luck, I'm just kidding."

"By the way, don't check the answers after the exam, just keep a positive attitude."

Seeing that Xu Qingwan ignored him, Lu Zhaoye reminded her and then turned back.

Xu Qingwan felt dizzy, but a sweet feeling welled up inside her.

I just wanted to encourage her to do well on the exam, but I had to act like I was being a jerk.

It's so easy to guess what a little boy is thinking.

But after a week, Xu Qingwan gradually got used to Lu Zhaoye's cheeky manner.

Although he sometimes acts crazy, Xu Qingwan knows in her heart that it's all because Lu Zhaoye wants to attract her attention.

Xu Qingwan didn't dislike them, but it was too early to establish a relationship at only the second year of high school.

Xu Qingwan also knew that young boys nowadays need feedback.

Otherwise, if Lu Zhaoye keeps pursuing her but she doesn't respond, wouldn't she be keeping him hanging on?

Thinking of this, Xu Qingwan hesitated for a moment, then wrote a sentence on the small piece of paper.

When the bell rang, Xu Qingwan hurriedly stuffed the note into Lu Zhaoye's hand, then picked up her stationery and left the classroom.

Lu Zhaoye stared blankly at the small note in his hand.

He peeled back the small note, and when he saw what was inside, his mouth dropped open in astonishment.

"I'll say yes once we both get into the advanced class."

"..."

This time, the class placement exam was conducted according to the grade ranking, and Lu Zhaoye, who was ranked last in the whole school, was naturally assigned to the last seat in the last exam room.

Moreover, in order not to delay the learning progress, the grade level department actually scheduled all the exams on one day, which made many students suffer.

Lu Zhaoye didn't care, because he knew that this would be commonplace in his senior year of high school.

A small test every three days, a major exam every five days.

Writing, what I'm writing is exam papers.

There were two exams in the morning: Chinese and Mathematics.

Lu Zhaoye tried to control his scores, aiming to keep each subject between 90 and 100 points, but he couldn't control his Chinese score well.

Moreover, Lu Zhaoye even felt that it was uncertain whether he could pass the Chinese exam.

However, when he finished writing the essay, Lu Zhaoye felt somewhat smug.

The essay topic is...

"In your heart, what is the most expensive thing in the world, and what is the cheapest thing?"

Having lived two lives, Lu Zhaoye has a completely new understanding of this topic.

After he finished writing, Lu Zhaoye looked around and found that everyone had already fallen asleep.

The last exam room was like this; there was absolutely no cheating or peeking.

Because students like them who are at the bottom of the class are simply too lazy to cheat.

I just wrote a few multiple-choice questions, then scribbled a few words on the essay questions before going to sleep.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam. Everyone handed in their papers and then went out to have some fun.

I'll go back to sleep when the next exam comes.

So in many people's memories, it seems to be just as the teacher said.

"In the blink of an eye, three years of high school... are over."

"..."

The next exam will be mathematics, which is also the subject that Lu Zhaoye has studied most deeply.

Once he got the test paper, Lu Zhaoye didn't even look at the multiple-choice questions; he immediately flipped to the long-answer questions on the other side.

"Wow, this time Old Deng's test is so difficult!"

Lu Zhaoye's lips curled up slightly as he muttered something, but this kind of test paper was no challenge for him.

But Lu Zhaoye suddenly thought of Xu Qingwan; such a novel topic might be a bit difficult for her.

Moreover, Lu Zhaoye couldn't gauge the strength of the other advanced classes. If they only scored around 110, wouldn't it be ridiculous for a student from a lower-achieving class like himself to score 90?

Lu Zhaoye wrote the questions very quickly; by the time he was pondering them, he had already finished all the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.

In less than half an hour, Lu Zhaoye had gone through all the questions.

For the major questions, he only wrote about the relatively simpler trigonometric functions and spatial geometry.

He quickly went through the other major questions in his mind and then stopped writing.

However, at that moment, Lu Zhaoye suddenly caught a glimpse of someone walking in through the door. It was none other than Old Man Chen, who taught mathematics.

Lu Zhaoye subconsciously lowered his head, but after chatting with the proctor for a couple of minutes, Old Chen headed straight for him.

Many students in the classroom woke up and sat up, pretending to write their papers. Lu Zhaoye was no exception.

However, it seemed that Old Man Chen's trip was specifically for Lu Zhaoye, as he went straight to the last row.

Lu Zhaoye felt a little guilty and flipped the test paper over, pretending to think.

Old Chen looked at it for a while, and seeing that Lu Zhaoye didn't move, he pointed to the second to last question on the test paper, the derivative.

Lu Zhaoye couldn't play ostrich anymore, so he had to raise his head and look at Old Man Chen with a blank expression.

"?"

Old Chen frowned deeply. Wasn't this just a copy of the derivative problem Lu Zhaoye had written before? Same old wine in new bottles.

Why didn't you write this?

Old Chen bent down and asked in a low voice.

Lu Zhaoye suppressed a laugh, but feigned an innocent expression and said...

"I don't know how."
