Yi Feiyu frowned as he said, “You can spot questions for other subjects, but it’s hard to do it for language papers. You need to rely on your understanding of the language and your memory.”
“Whatever it is, there is no harm doing more revision if you want to improve,” said Jiang Mingyue unhurriedly as she spoke from experience.
Huo Yao raised her head and glanced at Jiang Mingyue with a nod. “You are right.”
Jiang Mingyue smiled as she blinked and said, “I know what it’s like. I was equally anxious when it was time for my college entrance exam. Fortunately, the language papers were easy that year. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made it into Tsing University.”
She sighed the moment she finished her sentence.
All the students who could enter Tsing University were straight-A students since it was the top college in the country. Meng Ying glanced furtively and felt as though Jiang Mingyue was bragging.
Yi Feiyu raised his brow. “You stood third in the city back in the day. If you couldn’t make it into Tsing University, then what about people like me who did worse than you?”
Jiang Mingyue’s face was exquisitely made-up as she cleared her throat and said, “It was really no big deal.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she lowered her head modestly and ate elegantly.
Huo Yao was almost done with lunch, so she put down her chopsticks and leaned into the seat lazily. She looked sideways at Meng Ying and noticed that she was almost done too, so she said to Yi Feiyu and Yi Lianfan, “We are done, so we are going back to class.”
Yi Feiyu put down his chopsticks and nodded. “Sure. See you later.”
Huo Yao nodded. Before long, Huo Yao and Meng Ying left the canteen.
After leaving the canteen some distance, Meng Ying could not stop herself. “Don’t you think Jiang Mingyue was very…”
All this talk about how easy the college entrance exam papers were that year, how she almost didn’t make it into Tsing University and her grades were no big deal… It was simply nauseating!
Huo Yao had guaranteed placement at Tsing University, okay?
Huo Yao raised her brow and looked at Meng Ying. “You mean cocky, right?”
Meng Ying nodded and crossed her arms. “Just listening to her talk gave me goosebumps.”
Huo Yao continued walking and spoke airily. “If you can rank third in the city, you will have the right to act like her.”
Meng Ying touched her nose speechlessly.

Shortly after Huo Yao and Meng Ying had left, Yi Lianfan was done with lunch as well. He glanced at his cousin and said coolly, “Feiyu, I am off to class.”
“Sure.” Yi Feiyu waved his hand.
Jiang Mingyue contemplated as she watched Yi Lianfan leave. Moments later, she veered her eyes. She had barely finished her lunch yet. She put down her chopsticks and asked Yi Feiyu. “Oh yes. I recall you saying that your cousin is really smart and always comes first, right?”
Yi Feiyu nodded before shaking his head a second later. “He used to rank first all the time, but not anymore.”
Jiang Mingyue was a little puzzled to hear this.
Yi Feiyu did not bother explaining and simply said, “Oh yes. I forgot to tell you earlier. Huo Yao is the student representative for the third years.”
“Huo Yao?” Jiang Mingyue was stunned. “… Do you mean the girl with lousy language grades?”
Yi Feiyu frowned slightly. Although he felt it was inappropriate to say that Huo Yao was lousy at languages, he did not show it on his face and simply said softly, “Uh huh.”
Jiang Mingyue suddenly felt startled to hear this. Was the girl who was lousy at languages the student representative?
No.1 Middle School’s standards were certainly dropping.
Couldn’t they have invited someone with better grades to be the student representative?
