Chapter 84: Ye Feng's Curtain Call, Becoming an Ordinary Person
Su Lin, it's our last monthly exam today. You haven't been studying much recently, will your grades drop? Lin Xiaowan asked with concern.
Facing Lin Xiaowan's reminder, Su Lin chuckled, Don't worry, Xiaowan. Even if my grades drop, defeating Ye Feng is a piece of cake. Are you worried I cant beat him?
It's not that. I just want to remind you that even though you're talented, you still need to put in effort. You've heard the story of Shang Zhongyong, right? Lin Xiaowan said.
Hehe, Shang Zhongyong's talent was limited. Xiaowan, I'm a true genius. I won't disappoint you, Su Lin replied confidently.
What are you two talking about? Xia Shiyu asked curiously.
Just discussing life's big issues, Su Lin said nonchalantly.
Big issues? Did something happen with the company? Xia Shiyu asked, looking worriedly at Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin and then shook her head, Nothing. I was just reminding Su Lin to study more. Hes been slacking off, not doing his homework for two days now.
Mr. Wang doesn't mind. He said as long as I maintain my grades, doing homework is optional.
Hmph, I'll beat you this time.
You're destined to be disappointed.
As the classroom filled up, the students buzzed with discussions. The big showdown between Ye Feng and Su Lin was set to conclude today.
Unlike Su Lin, who appeared lax, Ye Feng had been entirely focused on his studies recently, either reading books or on his way to read them.
In contrast, Su Lin seemed much more casual, rarely doing homework or being seen studying. Some students who were not in favor of Ye Feng started to waver in their beliefs, thinking that Su Lin might actually lose, enabling Ye Feng to pull off a comeback.
Su Lin just shook his head at these thoughts and didn't explain anything. Ye Feng might be formidable, but Su Lin had his own advantages.
Before long, Ye Feng entered the room. The chattering quieted down as everyone's attention turned to him. Feng Yifei took the opportunity to speak up, Ye Feng, the bet with Su Lin is on today's exam, right?
Ye Feng nodded and stopped, Yes, that's right. Why, do you want to bet with me too? I'm always ready.
Hehe, I wouldn't bother betting with you. I don't like Su Lin much either, but I find you more disgusting. Ye Feng, you're definitely going to lose this time.
In reality, Feng Yifei was quite grateful to Ye Feng. Because of their previous bet, Feng Yifei got together with Yan Huan, something that might not have happened until university without that bet.
Ye Feng chuckled, I remember you said the same thing last time, and you ended up running six laps around the field.
Feng Yifeis face turned the color of a liver, remembering his humiliation that day. Ye Feng didnt spare him any mercy.
After speaking, Ye Feng turned his attention to Su Lin, who was flirting with Lin Xiaowan. Lin Xiaowan blushed slightly, indicating Su Lin must have said something provocative.
Ye Feng couldnt understand why Lin Xiaowan, a proud and goddess-like figure from his past life, would blush in Su Lins presence.
But now, it no longer mattered. His efforts to drive a wedge between the girls and Su Lin had backfired, bringing them closer instead.
Lin Xiaowan noticed Ye Feng and looked at him with disgust. Su Lin turned and saw Ye Feng standing by Feng Yifeis desk. Su Lin gave him an encouraging gesture, which Ye Feng perceived as an insult, though Su Lin had every right to make it.
Ye Feng pursed his lips but remained silent, having no expectations for the exam. After all, it was Su Lin he was up against.
Soon, Mr. Wang entered with the exam papers, noticing the tension between Su Lin and Ye Feng.
He cleared his throat, Ye Feng, please take your seat and prepare for the exam. Lets settle any grudges with grades. I encourage this. Speak with your performance.
Mr. Wang was aware of the bet between Su Lin and Ye Feng. Although he felt Ye Feng might be overestimating himself, he didnt want to discourage him. Pressure can motivate, and having a goal is better than none.
Ye Feng nodded and returned to his seat, setting the stage for the final showdown.
All right, the exam time is still two and a half hours. Anyone who needs to use the restroom should go now. The exam will begin soon announced the invigilator.
The two days of exams were agonizing for many due to the immense pressure of senior year. Everyone was tense and gearing up for battle.
Even Xu Jie, who usually thought about playing games, opened his textbooks and started memorizing words.
Ding-dong~!!
Everyone stop writing now and hand in your papers, commanded the invigilator as the exam time ended.
Once the invigilator left with the papers, Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu quickly ran to Su Lin, taking out prepared answers to cross-check with his. Su Lin somewhat helplessly handed his answers to Lin Xiaowan.
Curious students gathered around. Class Monitor, are you comparing answers? Can we have a look too?
Lin Xiaowan hesitated and glanced at Feng Yifei, Were just checking ours.
Hehe, come on, Monitor, dont joke. Your grades are as good as the standard answers. Lets compare them.
Su Lin shook his head at Feng Yifeis anxious demeanor, Xiaowan, let them have a look. The results will be out soon anyway.
Lin Xiaowan nodded and handed over the two sets of answers to Feng Yifei to check.
Feng Yifei started comparing the answers. Wow! Physics is exactly the same, Su Lin and the Class Monitor both got full marks.
I can't believe it another full score. Su Lin is such a beast.
Yep, another full score. But this time the Class Monitor is also amazing, full marks in Physics too.
There are two different answers in Biology. Its hard to tell whos right or wrong.
Just follow Su Lin's answers. He's definitely correct. How about Chemistry?
There's one difference in Chemistry.
Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin with a hint of resignation, I lost to you again.
Su Lin gave Lin Xiaowan a thumbs-up, Getting full marks in Physics is already very impressive.
It's nothing compared to you.
Su Lin smiled lightly, Stop comparing yourself to me, or you might lose confidence.
Hehe, I won't lose confidence.
Jokingly, Su Lin raised an eyebrow at Lin Xiaowan, So, Xiaowan, does this mean you're my girlfriend now?
Lin Xiaowan shook her head, The results haven't come out yet. Let's wait for the results.
The outcome will be the same even if we wait an hour.
One hour also counts. You have to keep your word.
Lin Xiaowan defensively crossed her arms, watching Su Lin warily, remembering their recent encounter in the car. She had been nave enough to believe whatever Su Lin said.
Xiaowan, we're in a classroom. Do you think I would do anything to you here? Su Lin said with a helpless expression.
Let's just wait for the results, insisted Lin Xiaowan, pouting adorably.
Su Lin wanted to pinch her cheeks but she swatted his hand away. Alright, I'll wait with you for an hour.
Just before school ended, the exam results finally came out, and overall scores were compiled. Mr. Wang walked into the classroom with the papers to hand them out.
In the end, Su Lin topped the entire Jiangning No. 1 High School with a score of 749. Despite making further progress, Ye Feng, with a score just over 680, still couldn't beat Su Lin.
