“Teacher, I don’t have much experience,” Qin Chu said.
“How can you not have experience… Qin Chu, don’t be shy… share your learning methods with everyone… You’re the first person in the entire school who can be on par with Huo Mian.”
Ms. Yao was very excited to have two top students in the class.
“Teacher, I was just lucky…”
Qin Chu didn’t seem to want to say more.
“Qin Chu, you really earned the glory for the boys in our class…” Class President Han Xu interjected.
Qin Chu didn’t say anything. Instead, he glanced at Ms. Yao and thought of something. “Teacher, can I take a look at Huo Mian’s paper?”
“Okay.”
Ms. Yao thought that he wanted to learn Huo Mian’s way of studying, so she generously handed over Huo Mian’s test paper.
Qin Chu took the paper and flipped through it.
Then, he flipped to the last question. Huo Mian’s answer was correct, just like his.
Except…
“Teacher, there’s something wrong with Huo Mian’s paper,” Qin Chu said.
The whole class was shocked again.
Stunned, Huo Mian looked at Qin Chu, not knowing what he was up to.
“What’s the problem?” Ms. Yao walked over.
“Huo Mian’s answer is correct, but the method she used wasn’t the simplest, it was rather complicated… and it’s more time-consuming. Normally, this method isn’t recommended, so I don’t think Huo Mian should get full marks for it.”
As soon as Qin Chu finished speaking, everyone sighed…
“Qin Chu, do you want to fight?” Huo Mian tilted her head and asked.
Everyone was amused…
“I’m stating facts. As a top student, can’t I say it if you’ve done wrong?”
“I didn’t mean that. I just thought you were looking for trouble…” Huo Mian’s face darkened.
“Teacher, you can consult a few teachers to study it… See if I’m right?”
Since Qin Chu brought it up, it wasn’t appropriate for Ms. Yao to refuse.
Ms. Yao only took Huo Mian’s paper and went back to the staff room.
Once the teacher left, the class was in chaos…
“Wow… Qin Chu, are you targeting Huo Mian?”
“Yeah, Qin Chu, you’re both in our class. You’re both number one, and the world is peaceful.”
“Qin Chu, are you possessed? Why are you picking on Mian…” Zhu Lingling cursed angrily.
Qin Chu remained silent…
Huo Mian felt aggrieved; she couldn’t sleep because he hugged her a few days ago.
So it was all a trick. He had planned it for himself to defeat her. A trap of gentleness.
Huo Mian gritted her teeth…
However, she did not argue too much. It would make it seem like she was not generous.
Thus, she decided to wait for the teacher to return before making a decision.
When Ms. Yao returned, she held her glasses.
Once again, she announced, “The teachers have done some analysis, and Huo Mian’s solution is indeed a little problematic… Although the answer is correct, the solution is too cumbersome, so we need to lower her score by one point. That way, Qin Chu will be the top student in our class, and Huo Mian will be second. However, she’s only one point behind, so it’s no different from the first place. Our class is still on top. Everyone, let’s applaud for them.”
As soon as the announcement was made, everyone turned around to look at Huo Mian.
They thought they would see a green face.
Unexpectedly, Huo Mian smiled and took the initiative to clap.
“Thank you for pointing it out… I won’t do it again,” Huo Mian said through gritted teeth.
Then, Huo Mian gave Qin Chu a look that said, “You’re dead meat.”
