“She must’ve failed Elder Qian’s test,” He Yuan said with a contemptuous smile as he told this to every student she encountered as a joke.
Sheng Yue was very satisfied to hear this result. She lazily leaned back in her chair and her clenched hands finally relaxed.
Elder Qian was too picky. She didn’t pass, but Sheng Yang didn’t pass either.

After Ou Ye returned from the infirmary, he felt that something was wrong with him. He was so energetic as if he was on drugs.
Looking at the Mathematical Olympiad problems, which used to be so difficult to him, he suddenly discovered they turned so easy. And he hurriedly got started on these problems and the pen in his hand didn’t stop at all.
Fang Duo trotted over, bowed to him seriously, and apologized, “Ou Ye, I’m sorry. I didn’t catch your body. You can beat me, scold me…”
“Oh, it’s no big deal.” Ou Ye waved casually. “Go about your business.”
Fang Duo was stunned. Ou Ye always liked to tease her, saying that she was stupid, but now he almost died due to her negligence and he wasn’t even blaming her?!
Fang Duo reached out to touch his forehead. “Are you alright?”
“Hey, go away,” Ou Ye said impatiently, “Don’t disturb me. I’m doing the questions. I suddenly discovered they turned so easy.”
“Easy?” Fang Duo was stunned. These were Mathematical Olympiad problems!
But with doubts, she stuck her head close and looked. “Huh, aren’t these the few questions you said you didn’t know how to do yesterday? Did you ask the teacher how to do them?”
“No… I just figured it out that I was stuck in a dead-end. Now I worked out another way to solve them, and they suddenly became so easy to do.”
Fang Duo was surprised. “Why did you suddenly come up with the solutions to all these math problems? What happened to you?”
“I don’t know.” Ou Ye kept writing while speaking. “I doubt if that knock on my head just now released the potential of my brain. There was news like this, right? For example, an old lady living in a village could suddenly speak English after her head was bumped in a car accident.”
Hearing his words, Fang Duo fell into a reverie and she suddenly raised her head and said with great interest, “Ou Ye, do you think I should knock my head too?”
Ou Ye glanced at her and waved his hand. “Forget it, the chances of that happening are small. What if you become even dumber?”
Fang Duo didn’t argue with him this time. She thought about it for quite a while then smiled. “Yes, what if I transmigrated to the ancient times?”
“…” The brain circuits of boys and girls were really different.

When school was about to end, Sheng Yang was collecting books and suddenly remembered something, so she turned and asked Fang Duo coolly, “After the last school celebration, my mother asked me to invite you to my house. Do you have time?”
Sheng Yang asked as if completing a task. She didn’t think it mattered whether Fang Duo went or not.
