Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 128 - 84: ’Potentially Tied for First’ is a Precise Expression_2

Chapter 128: Chapter 84: ’Potentially Tied for First’ is a Precise Expression_2

"Hey, classmate, which school are you from?" the student who got the wrong answer asked, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Qiao Yu subconsciously glanced at his clothes. Oh, today he casually put on a T-shirt and didn’t wear a school uniform. Yesterday, the good guy didn’t remind him about it, unlike other students who mostly wore uniforms for the exam, no wonder they all looked so imposing.

For example, the uniform on the opposite side had the name of the Affiliated Middle School printed on it.

"Me? I’m from Railway First Middle School," Qiao Yu answered casually.

"Don’t tell me you’re that Qiao Yu?" the other one exclaimed.

Qiao Yu was slightly surprised and responded with mock astonishment, "Oh, has Railway First Middle School become that famous?"

After saying that, he ignored the two of them, quietly took the cookies he had chosen, and sat in the left corner by the window in the lounge.

Actually, if Qiao Yu put on a stern face, he could give off an unapproachable vibe, but most of the time he preferred to wear a smile that made others feel at ease.

After all, most of the time, he hopes to earn some cash rather than create more trouble.

The two outstanding students from the Affiliated Middle School also quieted down, staring blankly at Qiao Yu a few more times, then went to another corner, probably discussing their answers. Qiao Yu didn’t bother; after the exam, he never compared answers with anyone. He would rather happily sit in the corner eating snacks.

This also shows that Qiao Yu hasn’t reached the status of becoming an idol in the math competition circle, at most, he just holds his ground at Railway First Middle School. Of course, Qiao Yu didn’t care about these things.

Thinking about going to the national training team, where he would have to continuously solve similar problems every day, he even felt a bit troubled.

It’s like a beauty pageant that’s supposed to admire beautiful women, but ends up choosing a Buff monster whose psychological gender doesn’t quite match their physiological one...

Really miserable!

Let’s just say he missed appreciating the beauty of mathematics before, but now it’s clear Qiao Yu stands a bit higher.

...

In the minutes that followed, people were continuously brought into the lounge. Those who found classmates or friends gathered to discuss the test questions. There were others like Qiao Yu, who grabbed some snacks to munch on while waiting for twelve-thirty.

Finally, the bell rang.

He didn’t find a fellow Railway First Middle School classmate in the lounge, but as soon as he stepped out of the exam hall, he saw Xia Keke first, and then Lan Jie beside her.

Then Qiao Yu immediately understood what Lan Jie meant earlier by saying if he really went to those math classes, he might not see many girls.

Even though Xia Keke wasn’t as tall as Lan Jie, in the crowd dispersing from the exam, she was far more noticeable than Lan Jie, and far more noticeable than anyone around... because none of the female participants seemed to have long hair, or at least he hadn’t seen any.

No wonder so many older single guys are into math.

So was Lan Jie, and Old Xue was the same.

Could it be that mathematics is the true goddess, so the majority who flock to it are men?

Shaking his head, dismissing this unreliable thought from his mind, Qiao Yu puckered his lips and walked towards them.

"Qiao Yu, big brother!" It was still Xia Keke who spotted him first and called out.

Only then did Lan Jie look his way.

"Qiao Yu, how did you do in the exam?" the good guy asked with a slight hint of nervousness.

"Full marks!" Qiao Yu replied confidently.

"The second exam?" Lan Jie asked again.

"Of course, both the first and second exams!" Qiao Yu corrected him.

"Are you sure you got full marks?" Xia Keke looked at Qiao Yu and said, "I just heard Teacher Lan say that the second exam questions were all major ones and getting full marks is quite hard."

Qiao Yu, slightly annoyed, criticized, "It’s fine if Teacher Lan doesn’t understand, but how come you don’t either? I’ve told you more than once, getting full marks isn’t hard at all, as long as you don’t make mistakes in the details and get every question right, isn’t that it?"

Lan Jie took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Even though this last sentence sounded a bit shameless, he believed in Qiao Yu.

Because after the last Little Alibaba math finals, Qiao Yu was also so certain he would get full marks, and sure enough, he did.

"Great! Great! Great! If it’s full marks, then it must be first place." Lan Jie laughed so hard his mouth couldn’t close, then remembered there were still four students who hadn’t come out and asked, "This time, do you think the questions were... never mind."

Lan Jie felt he was so happy he was becoming silly, asking a full-score candidate whether the questions were difficult.

He could almost predict Qiao Yu’s answer.

So Qiao Yu also didn’t bother to answer and directly requested leave, "Teacher Lan, I won’t be coming back this afternoon."

"Alright then, you two be safe, call me anytime if you need anything." Lan Jie pointed at his phone.

The Changjun Main Branch is right in the busiest downtown area of Star City, just a few hundred meters from the pedestrian street that young people love to visit. Today is Sunday, so Lan Jie was very reassured about the safety.

But only Qiao Yu, if it were any other student, Lan Jie wouldn’t agree to it.

After all, he is responsible for their safety according to societal rules. No matter what happens to the kids, he would have to take responsibility.

Not just because Qiao Yu’s grades are excellent, but because Lan Jie feels this kid won’t get into trouble outside.

Unless he encounters some unavoidable danger, otherwise, compared to himself, following a pretty girl around, Qiao Yu is safer.
