Chapter 1908: Extra: A Brand New Life 23 (Jiang Yue and Xue Yan)
He only scored six points on the baseline math test, getting two multiple-choice questions right, but just a few days before, in a math quiz, he scored 120 out of 150, which truly astonished his classmates.
Zhou Ping could almost be said to have rushed over to see his score of 120, continuously cursing in awe and remarking, âDude, youâre really going all out to make me lose, when you only got thirty points in the last quiz.â
The previous quiz Zhou Ping was referring to was Xue Yanâs first one, back when he had just started learning first-year high-school material, and hadnât flipped through many pages of the textbook. Then he scored thirty points, which was, in any case, an improvement from six.
Chen Sheng sat next to Xue Yan, sharing a desk with him every day. Xue Yan had started by asking Jiang Yue elementary school questions and then gradually moved on to high school questions, and now they could even discuss problems beyond the curriculum, even communicating in English without any barriers. As his desk mate, he naturally saw everything very clearly.
So, when he heard this, he patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder, âPeople are different. Some people, the moment they start studying seriously, learn very quickly. Just wait and see, during the monthly test, Xue Yan will definitely shock us all, and Jiang Yueâs results will surely have a great breakthrough. You might as well concede the bet early!â
âShit, do I really have to study hard now?â Zhou Ping said, on the verge of tears.
Everyone just laughed.
That evening, during self-study, Xue Yan wore headphones and listened to English audio on his phone, while Chen Sheng beside him fervently wrote out answers to a book full of problems. In front, Jiang Yue was using advanced concepts to solve high school physics problems on scratch paper, and next to her, Xu Yi was frowning at a difficult question on a new set of math papers, which she couldnât figure out how to solve.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yi gently nudged Jiang Yue with her elbow and whispered, âJiang Yue, I donât know how to do this problem, can you help me look at it?â
Jiang Yue took the exam paper and glanced at it; to her, it was certainly easy. She could write many different solutions to this problem, some beyond the curriculum and some not. However, she thought about how Xu Yi still hadnât had the courage to ask the teacher a question, and the teacher was actually sitting at the front, eagerly hoping someone would come up and ask something.
But typically, only the students who ranked among the top few in the class would occasionally go to the front three rows to ask questions.
Others who wanted to ask might abstain because they were too embarrassed to ask something they thought was too simple, or they had never asked before and couldnât bring themselves to take that first step, despite the teacher always saying they could ask anything.
To manage this, Jiang Yue then lied, âI donât know how to do this one either. Why donât we go ask the teacher? Sheâs not busy right now.â
âThisâŠâ Xu Yi became nervous upon hearing this.
Jiang Yue said, âDidnât we agree before? If thereâs anything we both donât know, weâll ask the teacher.â
What was agreed upon before was one thing, but now, when the moment came, Xu Yi found it genuinely difficult to overcome her nervousness. She thought about asking Xue Yan later, since, although there hadnât been a monthly exam yet, through their quizzes and sitting nearby, they knew better than others just how quickly Xue Yanâs performance had improved.
But then she considered that Xue Yanâs improvement was led by Jiang Yue, and if Jiang Yue didnât know, Xue Yan probably wouldnât eitherâŠ
âOkay, then,â Xu Yi said nervously, stuttering. âItâs just, can we go ask together?â What she had seen was always one person going up to the podium, whispering their questions to the teacher.
