Chapter 115: Chapter 114 Isn’t This a Matter of Course?
Are you in this class, too?
The students instantly became even more uproarious, “Who is it, who is it? Mr. Liu, come on, don’t keep us in suspense!”
Liu Yawei’s face was full of smiles as he exclaimed loudly, “It’s the Chi Gui Group!”
At that statement, the entire class fell into a silence as dead as death itself.
Some even doubted their hearing and checked their ears.
Ding Xuan and Ning Qiu, who were just relieved, were completely dumbfounded in their seats.
After a long while, Ding Xuan suddenly stood up, her voice filled with disbelief, “That’s impossible! Mr. Liu, could the judges have read the name wrong? The Chi Gui Group… their average grades are not even as good as mine, how could they possibly take second place?!”
Liu Yawei glanced at Ding Xuan, recognizing her as the person who absolutely refused to join the Chi Gui Group that day, and said indifferently, “The Chi Gui Group has been directly mentored by Principal Lin lately. Is it not very normal for them to get second place?”
Like a thunderbolt, that statement exploded throughout the entire class!
“What?! Principal Lin?! You’re joking, right… Such a high-profile figure is too busy to be personally mentoring a few ordinary students?”
“Boohoo… My grades aren’t bad either, why doesn’t Principal Lin notice me…”
Ding Xuan and Ning Qiu sat there with their mouths agape, feeling their minds buzzing.
Just minutes ago, they were relieved not to have joined the Chi Gui Group; now they were green with regret…
If they had been in a group with Chi Gui at that time, they would be the ones attending the provincial competition as the second-place winners in the entire school!
Even Su Qing couldn’t help but look up towards Chi Gui.
In his mind, the words spoken by Professor Shi resurfaced…
Could it be… Chi Gui truly was a once-in-a-century genius?
Otherwise, it was inexplicable why even Principal Lin would make an exception to personally mentor them…
Chi Yan noticed Su Qing’s gaze and her lips tightened.
Chu Jia, Yi Rui, and Su Niannian, after a brief moment of being flabbergasted, finally realized: They had gotten second place!!
Unable to contain herself, Chu Jia blurted out profanities, her emotions rising and falling so sharply that her eyes turned a bit moist, “I, I thought we were really done for… What do I do, I feel like crying now…”
Yi Rui’s eyes were also brimming with tears as she wiped the corner of her eyes, “Who isn’t — just now my heart almost stopped!”
Su Niannian couldn’t help but turn her head towards Chi Gui, who still looked completely calm, “Sister Chi, why aren’t you the slightest bit excited? We’re all nearly crying from excitement here!” Find the newest release on novel·fire.net
“Hm?” Hearing this, Chi Gui finally shifted her gaze from her phone, looking at them puzzled, “Isn’t this result expected?”
Not one student personally coached by Grandpa Lin had ever fallen short.
Su Niannian, Yi Rui, Chu Jia: …
So Sister Chi had that much faith in them!
“Boohoo… Sister Chi…” The three of them, filled with emotion and tears in their eyes, rushed towards Chi Gui.
“Hey… wait… don’t…” Chi Gui, caught off guard, quickly used her phone to block them, but alas, she was no match for the embrace of three, and she was tightly hugged.
Jiang Nuan watched this scene, feeling a twinge of envy.
She had won first place and was certainly thrilled, but Chi Yan and Su Qing acted as if it was to be expected, and she had no one to share her joy.
“Tsk, it’s just a second place, what’s there to be excited about.” She scoffed and turned her head away.
They had half a month to prepare for the provincial competition.
Su Niannian, Chu Jia, and Yi Rui didn’t dare relax for a moment and immediately came together, wracking their brains for topics to choose for the provincial competition’s theoretical defense.
While Nancheng Medical College was among the top five nationwide, there were many other outstanding medical institutions in the province, which also produced standout students who were no less competitive than them.
And with over twenty teams participating, only the top ten would advance to the national contest.
Chi Gui watched the three of them working so hard and after some thought, send the data she was looking at on her phone to Su Niannian, “This is the latest international discussion; you can refer to it.”
