Nan Bowan… Su Jinyang liked that name.
Su Jinyang repeated it twice in his mind and felt strange.
“Then I’ll call you Mr. Nan from now on.”
No matter what, this Mr. Nan sounded like he was only in his twenties at most. He seemed really young and promising.

The next day at Grade 12, Class 23, the students who were usually in high spirits seemed to be listless. That was because today was the day the results of the mock exams would be announced.
Class 23 was near the stairway, and the excited voices of the students could occasionally be heard coming up and down the stairs.
“I just went to deliver the math papers. I heard that there will be five students who got full marks in the entire grade this time. I wonder if one of them is in our class.”
“I don’t think so. Rong Ruo and Wang Dongqing from class one will definitely get full marks. That means there are only three spots left. Anyway, I know that I made a mistake in one of the fill-in-the-blanks questions. It definitely isn’t going to be me.”
“I heard that somebody got full marks for the Chinese essay too.”
These were the worries of the top students.
The bell rang after the lunch break. Su Ye looked at the time. Su Jinyang should be bidding now.
Gu Qi’s mental wellbeing was quite poor. She went to the toilet several times in the morning. When the teacher walked out of the classroom, she ran out again.
But less than a minute after she left the classroom, she came back in a hurry. Su asked casually, “Did you forget to bring your paper?”
“My paper?” Gu Qi laughed dryly. “They’re all here anyway.”
Su Ye raised her eyelids and glanced at her. She saw a thick stack of test papers in her hand.
Huh, they really were all here.
“Someone from Rocket Class gave them to me. They even offered to help me look through them.”
Gu Qi distributed the test papers to the students around her. She handed them out according to their names. Su Ye also distributed a small stack of test papers by herself. She quickly handed them out and returned to her seat. She saw that her desk was already covered with four test papers.
Su Ye looked at Gu Qi’s scores. The one at the top was Chinese, with a score of 130, which was quite high.
Most importantly, Gu Qi had a score of 60 for her Chinese essay, which was a full score.
The only person in the entire grade who had a full score for her Chinese composition was in Class 23.
Gu Qi carefully opened the papers.
She got a score of 260 for science, which was not bad.
But next… she opened her test papers to see she had scored 90 for English and 76 for math.
It was pretty bad.
Su also crossed her arms and said in a casual tone, “Your choice of subjects seems difficult.”
Not only was it difficult, but it was also quite unique. She had taken two science subjects and two liberal arts subjects.
Gu Qi smiled at her somewhat embarrassedly. “Yeah.”
She did not like being the focus of attention. She glanced over at Su Ye’s scores.
40 points in Chinese, 40 points in English, 40 points in science, 40 points in mathematics!
Damn, how did she get these scores?
Compared to her scores which were all over the place, Su Ye was really consistent.
Gu Qi admitted defeat. Su Ye had really improved. If she remembered correctly, Su Ye had never scored more than 30 points in any subject before.
“Ah,” Gu Qi whispered, “Your accuracy in drawing lots is quite high.”
Su Ye did not have any reaction to her scores. She curled her lips and stuffed the papers into the drawer in the table. “Who gave you the papers just now?”
Gu Qi thought for a moment. “Rong Ruo from class one.”
Su also seemed to understand. No wonder the tests had been opened.
Just as she was thinking, a girl from another class at the door asked timidly, “Is Su Ye here?”
Su Ye raised her chin at her in a rather friendly manner.
The girl glanced at Su Ye, who seemed to be someone who was not to be trifled with, and whispered, “Mr. Zhang wants you to take the math papers and go to the office….”
