Chapter 73 she’s not your match!

Seeing that Ning Xi was ignoring him, the corners of Ye Fan's eyes curved slightly as he asked, "Xiao Xi, they'll be announcing the results soon, are you nervous?"

"A little."

Ning Xi responded with two words.

She really couldn't stay mad at Ye Fan. This person seemed to be smiling all the time, and his smile was so...

Anyway... it didn't look good!

Yes, it didn't look good, it didn't look good!!!

"You don't have to be nervous at all."

Ye Fan had already expected Ning Xi's answer. He said, "Whether we get the spot this time or not isn't that important."

"Why?" Ning Xi's eyes flickered slightly.

"Let me ask you something first."

"Go ahead."

"Even if you get the spot to participate in the mathematics competition, can you guarantee that you will definitely be in the top three?"

"I..."

Meeting Ye Fan's gaze, Ning Xi shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not confident."

The students who participated in the mathematics competition were all geniuses, not to mention that this was a national high school competition. It was full of gold.

This competition attracted almost all the math geniuses in the country to participate.

Under such circumstances, even if she got the spot to participate in the competition, she wasn't confident that she could get into the top three. She felt that it would be good enough if she wasn't ranked last.

Ye Fan's eyes were filled with smiles. "Then that's it. What's there to be nervous about?"

"If you get the spot, go and experience it. If you don't, it's no big deal. In the end, everyone will take the college entrance exam."

"As for the recommendation? No need!"

His flat tone was filled with confidence and a hint of dominance.

"Huh?"

Confusion flashed across Ning Xi's eyes.

What did he mean by "everyone will take the college entrance exam in the end"?

If there was a recommendation, who would still take the college entrance exam?!

Ye Fan was very patient and explained, "The college entrance examination reform this year has established a Genius Ranking. Do you think those top students would give up such a great honor?"

"No!"

Ning Xi came to a sudden realization and nodded, her black hair swaying slightly along her cheeks. Her small face was like a porcelain doll's, fair and rosy.

If Ye Fan hadn't reminded her, she would have already forgotten about it. Now that she thought about it, it was indeed the case.

The Genius Ranking!

Millions of students nationwide would compete on the same stage to determine the top 100.

What an exciting event!

Geniuses were all proud. They wouldn't give up on this opportunity because they only had one chance in their lifetime.

If it were her, she wouldn't give up either.

Ning Xi didn't care about false fame, but she just wanted to prove herself.

Just as the two of them were talking, Lin Dejiang walked into the classroom with a report card in his hand.

The students sat up straight and looked at the report card with anticipation in their eyes.

Lin Dejiang raised the report card in his hand and smiled. "It seems that everyone is looking forward to the results of yesterday's test. Since that's the case, I'll announce it later."

"Ah?"

"Don't!"

"Teacher Lin, Professor Lin, Grandpa Lin, don't keep us in suspense!"

...

Hearing these complaints, Lin Dejiang smiled even more happily. "Alright, alright, I'm just messing with you guys. Now, I'll announce the results of yesterday's test."

"Deng Yu, 75 points."

"Wang Shuo, 65 points."

"Su Qiaoyu, 90 points."

"Hiss—"

The students looked at each other in astonishment.

90 points?

In other words, out of the 20 questions, Su Qiaoyu had answered 18 correctly.

She was too strong, wasn't she?!

Hearing her results, a hint of joy flashed across Su Qiaoyu's face.

She was very satisfied with this result.

Given Ye Fan's level, he would definitely come in first place. From the very beginning, her goal was second place. During yesterday's test, when she encountered difficult questions, she directly chose to skip them.

In the end, she barely managed to solve 18 questions within the stipulated time. She didn't even have time to check her answers before she was urged to hand in her paper.

It seemed that her luck was not bad.

The 18 questions she solved were all correct.

With this score, she should be able to secure second place!

"Why is it so high?"

Ning Xi drooped her head, her delicate face filled with nervousness.

Su Qiaoyu's score put a lot of pressure on her, and she immediately lost confidence.

"It's fine, your score hasn't been announced yet. Relax."

Ye Fan comforted her, "Think about what I just told you, the results aren't important, and neither is the spot."

"...Okay."

Ning Xi's beautiful eyes darted around, her soft voice carrying a trace of gratitude.

"Thank you."

Hearing her thanks, the corners of Ye Fan's mouth curled up.

His efforts over the past few days had not been in vain. Compared to the beginning, his relationship with Ning Xi had improved by leaps and bounds.

Lin Dejiang continued to announce, "Ning Xi, 90 points."

"Wow!"

"Holy sh*t!!!"

"Another 90 points. Are you trying to make us boys feel bad?"

"Could it be that the two spots for this competition have been taken by these two beauties?"

...

Su Qiaoyu looked surprised. She turned to look at the girl at the back of the classroom, her emotions rather complicated.

Ning Xi's math had actually improved so much.

Her physics results were almost the same as Ning Xi's. The reason why she was able to hold onto the top spot in the grade was because of her math.

In the past, her math scores in the monthly exams were always more than 10 points higher than Ning Xi's.

But in just a short period, Ning Xi had already caught up.

Su Qiaoyu frowned slightly and looked at Ye Fan, who was beside Ning Xi. She muttered to herself, "Is it all because of you?"

Sensing Su Qiaoyu's gaze, Ye Fan glanced at her indifferently, then turned his attention back to Ning Xi.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this result?"

"Satisfied!"

Ning Xi nodded, her cheeks flushed with a smile. Her cute face was adorned with a hint of baby fat.

Ye Fan's eyes were filled with love as he whispered, "If nothing goes wrong, you and Su Qiaoyu should be tied for second place. Let's see what the teacher says."

"Okay."

Ning Xi also realized this problem. She responded softly, her voice gentle and pleasant.

"Quiet!"

As soon as Lin Dejiang spoke, the discussion in the classroom immediately stopped.

"Ye Fan, 100 points."

"..."

"..."

Full marks?

Full marks again?

Everyone's eyes, including Lin Dejiang's, landed on the relaxed Ye Fan.

Why was this person so amazing?!

When did Class 2 have such a god?

Until now, there were still many people who didn't know that Ye Fan was a transfer student. This was because the word 'transfer student' simply didn't exist in the world of Zhenhua students.

Facing everyone's gazes, Ye Fan sat there calmly, his expression unchanged.

This strange atmosphere lasted for more than ten seconds.

It wasn't until Lin Dejiang spoke that everyone's thoughts were pulled back.

"You all know the results. The first place in this test is Ye Fan. As for the second place..."

Speaking up to this point, Lin Dejiang pondered for a moment and said, "Ning Xi and Su Qiaoyu are tied for second place!"

Tied for second?

Weren't there only two spots?

Ye Fan would get one, so how would they split the remaining one?

They couldn't possibly split it in half, could they?

Even Ye Fan was a little puzzled as he waited for Lin Dejiang to continue.

As for Ning Xi, her palms were sweating from nervousness.

Although she knew that there was no use being nervous, her thoughts kept racing.

Lin Dejiang adjusted his glasses and slowly said, "Since there are only two spots, Ye Fan will definitely get one to get first place. As for the other spot, I've decided to let Ning Xi and Su Qiaoyu compete."

"I'll set a test paper with ten questions, each worth ten points. Whoever gets the higher score will get the remaining spot. Can the two of you accept this arrangement?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two girls nodded in agreement.

This was the fairest way!

"Alright."

Lin Dejiang said, "The two of you, go get ready. Come to my office for the test after lunch. I'll talk to the teacher in charge of the first period in the afternoon so you don't have to worry."

"That's settled then. Let's begin the class!"

…

After class.

Ye Fan wanted to go to the bathroom. Just as he stood up, a soft little hand grabbed his arm.

Ning Xi's clear eyes stared at Ye Fan, her gaze filled with shyness.

Just now, when she saw Ye Fan stand up, she subconsciously grabbed his arm. When she came back to her senses, she realized what she had done.

She wanted to pull her hand back, but her body wouldn't listen.

Ning Xi, what are you doing?

Don't you know the difference between men and women?

It's over!

How embarrassing...

Looking at Ning Xi's increasingly flushed face, Ye Fan sat back down.

As soon as he did so, the small hand on his arm retracted as if it had been electrocuted. He was a little displeased. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have sat down.

"Ye Fan, I... I didn't do it on purpose."

Ye Fan didn't reply. He smiled and asked, "Do you want me to help you with the questions?"

"...Yes."

"Are you worried about the exam this afternoon?"

"...Yes."

Hearing that, the smile in Ye Fan's eyes deepened. He glanced at the front row and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He raised his hand and patted the girl's head, the corner of his mouth curling up as his thin lips moved slightly.

"Don't worry, she's not your match!"
