Chapter 734: Do you know soone nad Xiao Yi?
Yes, it was dumb luck!
In their eyes, whether it was the crushing of the Four Young Evil Masters or being directly nad by the dean for a fixed spot, it was all Xiao Yi’s dumb luck...
They were the Pride of the Heavens. As for Xiao Yi’s previous entrance scores, they hadn’t even heard of them. Later, when they checked the records, they found they were just average. How could such an average guy, oh no, soone who had never studied before, be seen by anyone in the library or any other study room?
How could soone like that possibly have good results?
"Soone like him should be grateful to even pass, let alone compare with Fang Jingxu,"
"What does being serious now matter? School has already stopped teaching, and with just over a week left until finals, does he think he’s a genius? Just glance at a book and beat Fang Jingxu with good grades?"
"I’m betting this ti, he’ll fail at least one subject. What do you think?"
"..."
Listening to the whispers nearby that they thought he couldn’t hear, a wry smile of self-mockery ford on Xiao Yi’s lips. It seed he really wasn’t considered a good student in everyone’s eyes...
Shaking his head and chuckling, he ignored them and continued to lower his head, turning to start reading his book. However, just as he was about to lower his gaze, he noticed a gaze not far from the side seed to be watching him as well.
Startled, Xiao Yi looked up and saw Zhao Yuhua with a trace of surprise in her eyes.
You don’t think I’m trying to fight that kid out of spite, do you? You actually know the truth.
Seeing Zhao Yuhua’s gaze, Xiao Yi gave a bitter smile, opened his mouth, pointed at the book, and awkwardly tried to explain, "I’m just casually looking at it."
Zhao Yuhua nodded in understanding, also nodding and saying two words, "Keep going."
When she said "keep going," of course, she ant enough to pass. Because, in her view, Xiao Yi’s current efforts were undoubtedly a last-ditch struggle for the exams, like many students, fighting to pass.
"..."
Watching Zhao Yuhua earnestly telling him to keep going, Xiao Yi was suddenly speechless. What did she think? Encouragent? Should he thank her?
"Boss, you’re not seriously thinking about competing with that guy, are you?"
Just then, Fatty Tang also turned his head and happened to see Zhao Yuhua telling Xiao Yi those two words. His expression beca incredibly exaggerated as he looked at Xiao Yi.
"What’s with that face? What do you an?"
Although Xiao Yi wasn’t really planning to compete with Fang Jingxu, he had to admit, if it was really a contest, he probably wouldn’t be Fang Jingxu’s match. That little brat could be called one of the Gemini Stars along with Zeng Xiaoxiao, so he obviously wasn’t ordinary. Besides, just seeing how that kid stood straight and lectured a group of older graduate students spoke volus.
But seeing Fatty Tang’s expression still felt annoying.
Am I really that bad that I can’t compete with that guy, deserving such a look?
"Uh... Boss, you misunderstand , uh... Boss, best of luck. I believe in you; you’re the best boss! Things like Fang Jingxu are just distractions!"
Under Xiao Yi’s stern gaze, Fatty Tang’s sharpness had skyrocketed, akin to a rocket. Seeing Xiao Yi’s displeased face, he imdiately put on a smiling face, spoke obsequiously while solemnly raising his plump fist, swinging it emphatically.
Joking aside, the boss’s fist isn’t for show. Since the boss didn’t like hearing it, then let all that truth, all that Fang Jingxu, go to hell!
"...!"
Seeing Fatty Tang’s exaggerated expression, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes speechlessly. This kid was getting slicker by the day, spewing nonsense without a second thought! What happened to the honest kid he used to be?
Not wanting to continue dealing with him, Xiao Yi simply lowered his head again and started reading his book on his own.
Just as Xiao Yi lowered his head and began to focus on his book, a graceful figure slowly made her way to the corridor outside the classroom and paused by the window.
This kid, it seems, is not entirely beyond redemption.
Zeng Xiaoi’s beautiful eyes gazed into the classroom at Xiao Yi, who was deeply engrossed in his book, occasionally jotting down notes with a pen. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and a hint of relief flickered in her heart.
Although this guy, with final exams approaching, was frantically studying now, it indicated that he definitely hadn’t been studying properly before... Well, there’s no need to state that. His previous behavior had already shown that he used to wander around all day and hang out with his so-called friends, hardly finding ti to study...
However, the fact that he was trying hard to study and review for finals showed that he at least hadn’t forgotten the basics. He knew the importance of doing well on his exams, and he wasn’t completely hopeless yet...
Shaking her head, Zeng Xiaoi turned and left the classroom without pausing or observing for too long at the doorway...
She had co today for so important matters with the leadership of the School of Mathematics, but just as she passed by, she suddenly thought of Xiao Yi and decided on the spur of the mont to check on him. After asking soone for the classroom location, she headed straight upstairs...
Xiao Yi, who was intently solving a math problem, suddenly felt as if soone were watching him. Almost instantly, he looked up and walked toward the window, but when he looked up, he saw no one outside. Only occasionally there were a few passersby in a hurry, none of whom appeared as if they had been spying on him.
Did I imagine it just now?
Am I seeing things?
It’s strange, it’s quite unlikely for to have hallucinations, right?
Could it be due to being too engrossed in these complicated calculations and reasoning in recent days?
After looking out the window for a while, conflict arose in Xiao Yi’s mind, but eventually, he helplessly shook his head and lowered it back down to continue reading his book.
"Teacher, I’ll have to entrust this matter to you then."
In an office inside the School of Mathematics building, Zeng Xiaoi stood up, expressing her gratitude.
"Miss Zeng, you’re too polite. This small matter truly didn’t require your presence; a phone call would have sufficed."
The teacher quickly stood up, urgently responding with a tone that hardly dared any familiarity, well aware that the young woman before him, despite her courtesy, was not soone he could take lightly.
"Teacher, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll be on my way."
Zeng Xiaoi noticed the teacher’s nervous deanor, and although sowhat resigned, she didn’t say much. After so many years, she had grown accustod to these reactions. She knew that no matter how warm and approachable she tried to be, it was impossible to change their attitudes because her identity as the Zeng family’s young mistress stood firm. The only way to alter their behavior towards her was if her status changed.
With a faint smile, she prepared to bid farewell, not wanting to add more pressure to the teacher.
"All right, then I won’t keep Miss Zeng any longer. Please take care."
The teacher promptly responded with respect, preparing to walk her out.
Zeng Xiaoi shook her head in resignation, then turned and headed for the office door.
As Zeng Xiaoi left, a sense of relief washed over the teacher’s face. As a regular teacher, he found dealing with the so-called rich second generations and official second generations’ parents most uncomfortable. Whenever he confronted them, he could feel unnecessary pressure, and this beautiful girl before him was undoubtedly the person he least wanted to face.
Not only because she was the young mistress of the Zeng family, embodying both wealth and power, but also because she was Zeng Xiaoxiao’s sister... He really didn’t know if this ’genius’ sister might have so of the ’genius’ habits like her younger sister.
In his view, it was wiser to interact with such figures as little as possible...
However, just as he had begun to relax, Zeng Xiaoi, who was already near the doorway, seed to rember sothing suddenly. She stopped, turned around, and looked back.
"Miss Zeng, is there sothing else?"
The teacher tensed up imdiately and asked nervously. Realizing he might be appearing too anxious, he quickly forced a smile, but the strain was still conspicuously apparent.
"Teacher, may I ask if you know a student nad Xiao Yi in your class?"
Zeng Xiaoi watched the teacher’s tense expression and again shook her head resignedly, her face breaking into a slight smile as she asked.)
