The Secretary-General smiled awkwardly. Considering Zhao Lian’s current impression of Lu Xia, it was not a good ti to ask him to see her now.
He instantly shook his head and said, “Nothing.”
Zhao Lian did not probe him any further. He looked at his wrist watch to check the ti before standing up. “We will take your leave now.”
The Principal stood up and said, “Sure. Let’s have dinner one of the days before you leave for the capital.”
“Mhm,” replied Zhao Lian. He raised his hand and gestured for the Principal not to walk them out.
The Secretary-General nodded politely before trailing behind him.

After Huo Yao headed back to the class, she overlooked the strange looks her classmates cast her. These looks kept altering on a daily basis. The first thing Hao Yao did after sitting down was to take out her books.
She had learned her lesson the hard way this ti. After losing those ten marks, she believed that she had not studied hard enough and needed to do it better henceforth!
ng Ying looked at Huo Yao. She was filled with so much fighting spirit that it felt as though ng Ying might get pierced by it if she went too close. ng Ying could not help touching her nose.
Since Huo Yao beca like this after coming back from the teachers’ office, she must have found out what went wrong with the test and was feeling upset about it.
Although ng Ying could not help Huo Yao with her studies, she could comfort her as her thoughtful deskmate.
ng Ying glanced at Huo Yao before reaching out to poke her gently on her arm and said, “Sister Big Shot, don’t be upset. You made a mistake, but you’re still first in the country, so it doesn’t make a difference.”
Huo Yao tilted her head and looked at ng Ying with a profound look in her eyes.
She said solemnly, “You don’t understand how painful it is for to answer the questions while remaining in the bounds of the syllabus.”
“PFFFT... What, Sister Big Shot? What do you an by it being too painful for you to answer within scope of the syllabus?” ng Ying looked slightly stunned.
Huo Yao stared at ng Ying for a few seconds and then shook her head without speaking further.
ng Ying was clueless. “???”
She had a nagging feeling that Huo Yao was looking down on her intelligence.
After ng Ying mulled over Huo Yao’s words more deeply, she went into a shock and said, “Wait, Sister Big Shot. Were your answers beyond the defined scope?”
Huo Yao replied sadly without looking up, “Yep. Even though I got the answers right, ten marks were deducted due to it.”
ng Ying was dumbfounded upon hearing Huo Yao’s words.
Had it only been imagination on ng Yao’s part that Huo Yao was upset about making a mistake?
Huo Yao would always be Huo Yao, so she couldn’t possibly make any mistakes in her life.
ng Ying looked up at the sky and sighed before quietly taking out her textbook.
If ng Ying did not buck up, then she would even lose the right to be upset.

Huo Yao packed up and left after the last class in the afternoon.
Shortly after leaving the block, she coincidentally bumped into Lu Xia.
Although they attended the sa middle school, it was only the second ti they had encountered each other here. The first ti had been at the school’s entrance.
No change in Huo Yao’s expression occurred. She rely glanced at Lu Xia indifferently before looking away and heading for the entrance.
Lu Xia halted and seed surprised to run into Huo Yao. She was in a foul mood due to her quiz results, so she had left class a little later today.
If she knew she would bump into Huo Yao, she would have left much earlier.
Despite her annoyance, Lu Xia did not let it show it on her face. Instead, she adjusted her bag’s strap before leaving for the school gate, as if Huo Yao was a complete stranger.
But Lu Xia was clearly a lot more heavy footed than usual.
