Chapter 25 Tsinghua University Sprint Class

"Xiao Xi, why are you so cute?"

As expected, Ning Xi blushed again.

"Ye Fan, don't... don't joke like that."

Seeing how easily she blushed, Ye Fan stopped teasing her and took out a handwritten test paper from his desk drawer.

"This is a physics test paper I made for you. It's your homework for today. Remember to hand it to me tomorrow morning."

Looking at the test paper in front of her, Ning Xi couldn't help but be stunned.

This test paper was written by Ye Fan yesterday.

Did he already know that he would get first place in the class yesterday?

So confident!

But, also very...

As soon as this thought surfaced, her face turned red again.

Ah—

Ning Xi, you're going crazy!

How could you have such thoughts?

No, no, no!!!

You're someone who wants to get into Tsinghua University! You absolutely cannot let your thoughts stray before the college entrance exam.

Ye Fan waved his hand in front of Ning Xi's eyes, a hint of fondness in his eyes.

Why did this girl always space out?

But she looked quite cute when she was spacing out...

"From today onwards, I'll give you a math and a physics test paper every day, tailored for you. As for other subjects, we'll see about tutoring based on the situation."

"Work hard. Oh, right, my dream university is also Tsinghua University."

After saying that, Ye Fan picked up his dictionary of idioms and started flipping through it.

Ripples appeared in Ning Xi's eyes.

Ye Fan's dream university was also Tsinghua University?!

It seemed like there was a hidden meaning in his words...

In the first row, Luo Yumeng and Su Ke were sneakily looking back, whispering to each other.

"How is it? Don't you think something is going on between those two?"

"Yeah, it's a bit unusual."

Su Ke agreed with Luo Yumeng's words. Looking at the two sitting together, she muttered to herself, "Why does it feel like he's raising a daughter?"

"What do you mean, 'raising a daughter'?"

"Nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Su Ke straightened up and said seriously, "Yumeng, the 100-day countdown to the college entrance exam is about to begin, you can't just slack off anymore. No more novels from now on."

"No way!"

As soon as she heard that she was not allowed to read novels, Luo Yumeng immediately became anxious. She pleaded, "Sister Su, please don't be so serious. Let me enjoy the last bit of my happy high school life."

"Don't worry, once the 100-day countdown begins, I'll get rid of all these bad habits even if you don't tell me to."

"No negotiation!"

Su Ke wouldn't budge. Regardless of whether Luo Yumeng agreed or not, she bent down and rummaged through Luo Yumeng's desk drawer, finding a few romance novels and putting them in her bag.

"I'll give them back to you after the college entrance exam!"

Luo Yumeng: "..."

She had finally escaped from the clutches of the little demon Ning, thinking she could finally turn her life around.

Who knew she would fall into the arms of the big demon Su?

Life was so unfair~~~

...

Zhenhua High School didn't have evening self-study.

Because...

The clever principal had taken over Saturday.

In other words, the students only had one day off per week.

This way, with eight classes per day and six school days a week, the students could maintain their study momentum for a long time without feeling too tired.

Of course, the first and second-year students still had evening self-study as usual.

It was past four in the afternoon.

Several teachers from Class 2, Senior Year Science, gathered in the principal's office.

The teachers sat on the sofa, exchanging silent glances. No one knew why the principal had suddenly called them here.

Zhan Chongshan brought over the brewed tea, poured a cup for each teacher, and sat down on a small stool unceremoniously, his face full of smiles.

"Teachers, please try this tea. It's my best Longjing tea, you're in for a treat."

Everyone picked up their teacups and took a sip.

Yang Ting put down her teacup and asked, "Principal, is there something you need us for?"

"Yes."

Zhan Chongshan nodded. "I won't beat around the bush. The 100-day countdown to the college entrance exam is coming up soon. I looked at last year's college entrance exam results last night, and our Zhenhua High School had three students admitted to Tsinghua University last year. This number is not small, but it's not large either."

"So, I have an idea. Let's set up a Tsinghua University sprint class. We'll select three top students from each of the seven science and humanities classes, a total of twenty-one students."

"I've already found the teachers. I've invited three retired professors from Tsinghua University to teach the three main subjects of Chinese, Math, and English professionally. As for the comprehensive science and humanities subjects, the teachers of each class will still be responsible for them. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the teachers' eyes lit up.

Yang Ting said, "Principal, this is great news! Of course, we have no objections."

"Exactly."

"The principal's connections are impressive. You even managed to invite retired professors from Tsinghua University, that's great!"

Zhan Chongshan waved his hand and said, "Don't get too excited just yet. Compared to last year, the teaching conditions this year are better, so our requirements also need to be raised. This year, our goal for Zhenhua High School is to have no fewer than ten students admitted to Tsinghua University."

"..."

The teachers from Class 2 were dumbfounded.

Ten students? There were only three last year!

That was more than triple the number...

Was it possible?

They didn't know, but they felt it was unlikely!

Tsinghua University, as the recognized top university in China, had a very high admission score.

The admission score for Tsinghua University had always fluctuated around 705 points, with very little fluctuation.

There were a total of 345 students in the science and humanities classes of Zhenhua High School combined... no, with the addition of Ye Fan, the new transfer student, there were 346 students.

Out of 346 students, to have ten students score above 705...

Difficult!

Very difficult!!

Extremely difficult!!!

The difficulty of the college entrance exam papers far surpassed that of the usual monthly exams in school.

"Why are you so lacking in confidence?"

Seeing their reactions, Zhan Chongshan smiled. "What are you afraid of? As far as I know, there are many promising students in Class 2, and now there's even a genius student like Ye Fan..."

Speaking of Ye Fan, he suddenly remembered something and asked Yang Ting, "Xiao Yang, I heard that Class 2 had a test yesterday. How did the students do? And how did Ye Fan perform?"

"Principal, the difficulty of the test paper was a bit too high, and most of the students didn't do very well."

Yang Ting said with a wry smile, "However, Ye Fan's results were quite good. He got first place in the class."

"Oh, is that so?"

Zhan Chongshan asked with interest, "What was his score?"

Ye Fan had left a deep impression on him. To be honest, he had never seen a score of 750 before.

Moreover, this student was extremely calm and composed.

There was no need to worry about his state during the college entrance exam. He was a strong-minded competitor.

"700 points."

Yang Ting reported Ye Fan's score softly.

"So low?"

Hearing this score, Zhan Chongshan frowned immediately.

Although he didn't expect Ye Fan to get perfect scores every time, this score was far below his expectations.

In his opinion, Ye Fan should at least be able to score around 730 points.

"Did he not perform well?"

Zhan Chongshan said, "He got a perfect score on the entrance exam, how come he only got 700 points this time?"

"..."

Hearing this, Yang Ting and the other teachers couldn't help but gulp.

Previously, they had asked Zhan Chongshan about Ye Fan's score, but Zhan Chongshan had only told them his subject scores, not his total score.

They didn't expect that Ye Fan had passed the entrance exam with a perfect score.

No wonder, no wonder!

No wonder this student could transfer to Zhenhua High School.

Who wouldn't want such a student?!

Yang Ting smiled wryly and explained, "Principal, the reason why Ye Fan got 700 points was because he didn't write the essay."

"Except for the 50 points for the essay, he didn't lose a single point."

"That's more like it!"

Zhan Chongshan didn't ask for the reason.

Anyway, as long as Ye Fan was in good form, he was relieved.

"I have high hopes for this student, Ye Fan."

His expression was very serious, and he said in a deep voice, "This year's college entrance exam paper for Imperial Capital will be the national paper. This is the first time Imperial Capital is using the national paper. I hope that the top scorer of the national paper... will come from Zhenhua High School!"

"..."

Silence fell in the office.
