The exam was too difficult!
It was only in the last minute that Qin Siyuan handed in his paper. As soon as he walked out, Shen Wanqing immediately asked him, "Siyuan, any problems?"
Qin Siyuan’s expression remained indifferent. He didn’t tell her that had he chosen the normal or slightly higher difficulty, he might have matched Gu Anxi with full marks. Whose damn idea was this? This wasn’t an exam; it felt like my life was on the line.
Shen Wanqing smiled. "Siyuan, you definitely scored higher than Gu Anxi. The exam was so difficult this time. I even had the student council members spread the word; Gu Anxi turned in her paper halfway—she’ll be lucky to pass!"
Qin Siyuan’s expression grew even colder. "Perhaps!" he murmured.
Shen Wanqing bit her lip. "Siyuan, are you upset? I’m doing all this for you." The source of thɪs content is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
Qin Siyuan stopped in his tracks. After a long pause, he slowly turned his head and said lightly, "Actually, sometimes I don’t need your help. The strong should strengthen themselves. If something is obtained by any means necessary, what’s the point?"
With that, he walked away.
Tears welled up in Shen Wanqing’s eyes, but she held them back. When the results are out, Siyuan will understand my intentions. Even if he doesn’t, Uncle Qin will understand. Everything I’ve done is for the Qin family.
Both candidates had finished their exams. The teachers at Qing University immediately began grading the papers, and the results were scheduled to be posted on the school’s intranet at eleven in the morning.
By then, the students of Qing University were already betting with spicy strips as the wager.
Chu Yan bet a hundred packs of spicy strips that Gu Anxi would score higher. Many followed Chu Yan’s lead, including Wang Qin, who also bet ten packs.
Those betting on Qin Siyuan, many doing so out of respect for the student council president, were secretly wondering: Just how high could Gu Anxi score? Just how capable could she be? Would there be a significant difference in their scores?
For a moment, the campus network was buzzing with activity. Gu Anxi sat alone in the library, reading a medical textbook. Bo Xichen, also busy with his work, took a moment to ask her, "How did the exam go?"
Gu Anxi, flipping through the thick book, slowly replied, "It should be okay... Oh, I don’t want any rewards today."
Bo Xichen smiled and continued with his work. Not only did he manage hospital affairs, but he was also largely responsible for the entire Cloud He Group. Recently, the group—or rather, the entire market—was facing a minor issue: a shortage of a certain element.
This rare element could be used for anesthesia and in the production of various semi-finished products like perfumes and high-end skincare items. It wasn’t just the Cloud He Group; the entire domestic and international market lacked this natural element. It had become so scarce that its price was many times that of gold.
Gu Anxi ran over, pointed at a line in a document, and asked Bo Xichen, who whispered an explanation. Once she understood, Gu Anxi ran back to her seat.
Time passed pleasantly in the library.
「Eleven o’clock arrived in a flash.」
The campus network nearly crashed when the results were announced.
First, Qin Siyuan’s score was displayed. For such a difficult exam, with a total of 150 points, he had scored 108. This was an exceptionally high score, marking him as a top student among top students.
Qin Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Wanqing was convinced she had won, a victorious smile playing on her lips.
When it was time to announce Gu Anxi’s score, the network connection was unstable, requiring constant refreshing.
Shen Wanqing chuckled. "Could it be zero again?"
She had barely finished speaking when Gu Anxi’s score finally loaded on the campus network.
Simultaneously, the campus speakers began to continuously broadcast the result on the digital announcement banner:
Gu Anxi, Second Year, American Department: 150 Points—Full Marks!
The entire student body and faculty were stunned.
It was... a perfect score!!!
