Friday ca by before long and the Math League results were released.
At 10:00 am during class, ng Ying held her phone and nervously accessed the official Math League website of City S. After she went into the inquiry section, she was prompted to enter her candidate number.
ng Ying clenched her fists and inhaled deeply before she entered her candidature number.
Before long her results appeared on the screen.
Part A: 113 marks. Part B: 52 marks. Total: 165 marks. City ranking: 69.
ng Ying felt relieved when she saw her result.
The total score for part A of the competition was 120 marks. 113 marks were already beyond her expectation.
The total score for part B was 180 marks and the questions were incredibly tough. ng Ying had relied entirely on herself to complete the two questions, so she felt incredibly lucky to score 52 marks.
Also, ng Ying had made it in the top 100 in the city. She took a screenshot of the results. She had been feeling listless for the past few days but her mood instantly lifted after this affirmation.
She turned to look at Huo Yao and saw that she was still reading. Huo Yao’s exquisite profile looked tiless and beautiful. She could not help touching her nose as she reminded her. “The Math League results are out.”
“Really?” acknowledged Huo Yao and continued reading. Two seconds later, she finally raised her head and asked her. “How much did you get?”
ng Ying went quiet.
Was her reflex slow or what?
Also, should she not have checked her own result first?
Then again, this prodigy might not need to check her score. The confidence that ng Ying had just gained was instantly extinguished.
ng Ying raised her hand and patted her mouth.
Served her right for being bitchy.
Huo Yao raised her brow when she saw ng Ying’s reaction. “Have you gone daft?”
“Just because you’re a genius doesn’t an you can attack all the ti.” ng Ying glared at her.
“How much did you score?” Huo Yao closed her book and placed her hand on the cover of ‘Theory of Psychology’.
Since Huo Yao was a genius, ng Ying did not have the cheek to happily tell her that she scored 165 marks, so she handed her phone to Huo Yao. “See for yourself.”
Huo Yao glanced at it before she smiled ambiguously at ng Ying. “52 marks for part B?’
ng Ying coughed dryly and took her phone back and muttered. “The questions in part B were too hard but my score for part A is pretty high.”
She had asked the other contestants in class. The questions in part A were already very challenging, let alone part B, so she felt satisfied with her results.
She had not done all that Math revision day and night in vain.
“Based on your usual results, these results are honestly good.” Huo Yao contemplated before she praised her reluctantly.
ng Ying was speechless. “...”
Thanks but that was offensive rather than a complint.
Huo Yao’s phone vibrated under the desk with a buzz and she took it out unhurriedly.
Yi Lianfan had texted asking about her results.
ng Ying thought Huo Yao was checking her results on her phone, so she went closer but realized that she was texting soone. She instantly felt dejected.
Was this the gulf between a genius and a slacker?
ng Ying quietly sighed before she tapped on the inquiry page and asked Huo Yao. “What is your candidature number?”
