I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 226: "I wagered on you." (3)

Gu Shao headed over to NTN directly after dropping Gu Xi off at school.

Gu Xi, on the other hand, felt a usual sort of stirring inside the classroom the mont that she stepped inside.

It didnt need a very smart person to figure out the reason behind it.

When everyone found out that the parent-teacher conference was going to be today, they all headed to the all-purpose area in front of the teaching building excitedly early in the morning only to find out that the grades had yet to be posted.

As such, everybody was now dying to find out the outco.

Gu Xi walked over to her spot and Dong Mingming imdiately grabbed her by her arm.

Gu Xi, are you nervous?

A little bit. Gu Xi nodded.

I am SO nervous! said Dong Mingming. She had wagered five 5.3 and one Top Students! With the current 1:3 payout, she would receive the equivalent of 16.5x 5.3 if she lost the bet!

She wasnt even that nervous when she was taking the examinations herself!

Gu Xi, tell the truth. Are you confident in yourself? asked Dong Mingming as she looked at Gu Xi intensely.

Gu Xi, too, nodded seriously, Mmhmm, quite.

Dong Mingming did not look any better after she had heard that. She still looked very nervous she would have believed in Gu Xi had she not wagered on Sheng Xiuyan herself.

As the two chatted, soone from inside the classroom shouted out, Its out!

Whats out? asked another person.

The monthly ranking! Its released!

Half the people from the class jumped up from their seats when they heard that.

Oh crap! Really? How is it?

I dont know. Nobody has ntioned it online yet.

I am not going to wait any longer. I am just going to go find out for myself.

too!

***

Many people dashed out of the classroom at the sa ti.

Dong Mingming, too, tucked at Gu Xis hand. Perhaps we should go take a look too. Waiting here for others to post the result online was the worse form of ntal torture.

Gu Xi took a look at the ti. It was still a while before self-study started. She then nodded and left with Dong Mingming.

***

By the ti the two arrived at the all-purpose area, there were already a crowd gathered on the plaza.

The 20 or so large display boards were particularly eye-catching.

Gu Xi and Dong Mingming forced their way forward so before they were able to see the student IDs and nas.

Gu Xi, you are over there! You made it onto the royal list! said Dong Mingming all of a sudden as she tugged at Gu Xi excitedly while pointing to the left-most spot.

At the very front of these display boards were three that stood out among the others. There were only three nas on each of them, each of them representing the top three students during this monthly examination. And the three boards belonged to the freshman, sophomore, and junior, respectively.

As soon as she finished saying that, Dong Mingming exclaid loudly again, Oh oh oh! Gu Xi, you are E1!

After hearing what Dong Mingming had said, Gu Xi, too, looked carefully at the royal list in the middle. Sure enough, her na was on the very top.

Truth was, if they were to look carefully enough, they would see that she and Sheng Xiuyan scored exactly the sa in a very dramatical way. Nevertheless, her na happened to go before his.

At the sa ti, the others, too, were talking about this.

Oh mi. Is this for realz? The two had the sa total score?!

How is that even possible?

Haha. Here we were all discussing which one of them would win out. As it turned out, it was a tie. What a surprise.

That was indeed a surprise. Nevermind that their scores were the sa. Both of their scores were also insane. They both scored 899 out of the 900 total possible points. Almost perfect.

Compared to the uniformity between their scores, No. 3 sitting at 831 almost seed out of place.
