Hearing these two words, Lan Yuqin was stunned for a moment.
She had also participated in setting the test paper, and compared to usual, these questions were relatively difficult, even exceeding the difficulty level of the college entrance exam. Yet Chen Nan claimed he could score full marks, which was truly unbelievable.
After all, it is the hardest to score full marks in Chinese. Even if you get all the basic questions right, it’s extremely difficult to get full marks in the essay.
Although Chen Nan’s calligraphy was excellent, Lan Yuqin really didn’t have much confidence in his academic performance, especially since his English grades were terribly poor. Even students with lopsided academic strengths wouldn’t normally be this imbalanced, right?
Complete ignorance of English, yet able to score full marks in Chinese? Lan Yuqin had never heard of such a thing before.
Looking at Chen Nan, she asked with some suspicion, "You’re not joking, are you?"
Chen Nan smiled lightly, "What do you think?"
Lan Yuqin stared at him, then finally smiled without saying anything, clearly not quite believing that Chen Nan could score full marks.
This wasn’t because Lan Yuqin looked down on people, but because Chen Nan’s past performance just didn’t seem like that of a student who could score full marks...
After eating at Lan Yuqin’s dormitory, Chen Nan left to return to the teaching building, and Lan Yuqin didn’t bring up running laps on the track again.
When Chen Nan returned to the exam classroom, there were two people revising inside—precisely two beauties, one was Huo Xinya, and the other was Han Yuting, who sat behind Chen Nan.
"You’re here. We have the English exam later. Come over here, and I’ll give you some more tutoring," Huo Xinya said with a smile as she looked up and saw Chen Nan.
Chen Nan scratched his head and walked over to her. Passing by Han Yuting’s seat, both exchanged faint smiles.
Since the exam seats were quite spread out with individual desks, Chen Nan took a stool and sat down next to Huo Xinya, grinning, "The exam is about to start, and you’re still tutoring me. Don’t you need to revise for yourself?"
Huo Xinya shook her head, "It’s just a minor test, not the official college entrance exam. I don’t need to be so nervous."
"That’s true as well."
Taking the middle school English book from Huo Xinya, Chen Nan flipped to where they left off last time and said, "I remember everything you taught me before. Do you want to quiz me?"
"There’s no need. After we finish this book, I will come up with a test for you to do," Huo Xinya replied with a smile, and continued to explain the material from where they had stopped.
She couldn’t help but admire Chen Nan’s comprehension and memory. Just in a few short days, they had nearly finished explaining this first-year English book, and Chen Nan had basically mastered it. For someone who had just started learning English, this was definitely something to be proud of.
"By the way, what were you doing during the last exam? Why was Teacher Lan so angry?" Huo Xinya suddenly asked.
Because... I was drawing her without clothes!
Chen Nan scratched his head a bit guiltily and said, "Nothing much, I was just drawing pictures because I couldn’t do the questions. Teacher Lan got angry because I wasn’t taking the exam seriously."
Huo Xinya nodded and thought nothing more of it.
After all, it would never have occurred to her in a million years that Chen Nan could do something so sleazy!
"Let’s continue with the explanation," Huo Xinya pointed at the notes in the book and said, "Do you know how to use this grammar?"
"Alright, then let’s move on to the next one."
Watching Huo Xinya helping Chen Nan with the explanations, Han Yuting, who was originally focused on her revision, slowly began to show a look of surprise on her face.
Huo Xinya actually took the initiative to tutor a boy!
And the subject she was tutoring was junior high school English!
Han Yuting found it somewhat unbelievable. What exactly was the relationship between these two? Could it be that the rumors within the school were true? Was Huo Xinya really in a relationship with Chen Nan, the basketball prince?
The more Han Yuting thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. After all, if they weren’t a couple, why would Huo Xinya, the grade’s top student and school beauty, take the initiative to tutor someone in junior high school English? Did she even have the patience for that?
There was only one conclusion, Chen Nan was Huo Xinya’s boyfriend!
Han Yuting pulled out her phone, stealthily snapped a photo of the two, then went online with her phone to enter the school’s forum and uploaded the photo with the title—"Scoop, scoop, major news, scholarly school beauty Huo Xinya gives up her rest time, tutors her boyfriend in English, picture proof truth!"
In this day and age, high school students generally all have mobile phones.
During nap time, very few people actually sleep; most are hiding in their bunk beds playing with their phones, some reading novels, some browsing the school forum, drooling over photos of the school beauty, and even sneaking in a quick one.
No sooner had Han Yuting’s news been posted than the entire Yutan Middle School’s forum exploded with activity, the number of replies rising and rising, with a new reply popping up every few seconds.
"****, who is that guy? Dares to mess with my dream lover, I’m going to kill him!"
"Good cabbages all gone to the pigs."
The forum was filled with swearing, and since Han Yuting didn’t reveal Chen Nan’s identity and the picture only showed their side profiles, hardly a few people could make out the male protagonist’s identity.
Meanwhile, in the principal’s office.
Principal Yang was having a very frustrating day because his mistress, Wang Huixi, who was also the female lead he fooled around with in the car by the river last time, was pregnant.
You must understand, Wang Huixi had a husband, and now that she was pregnant by him, this was no small matter. If others found out, his position as principal was finished for sure.
For the sake of their futures, the two decided to secretly go for an abortion, but just as they walked into the hospital, they were spotted by Wang Huixi’s husband.
Seeing a rival in love was extraordinarily infuriating!
To preserve his position, Principal Yang kept sweet-talking until Wang Huixi’s husband extorted 500,000 yuan from him before agreeing to keep his secret, as for his wife Wang Huixi, he didn’t care what happened to her.
Although Principal Yang managed to keep his job, being extorted for 500,000 yuan was very upsetting to say the least.
Sitting at his desk, he opened his computer and went to the school’s forum, intending to find a few pictures of pretty female students to whet his appetite and vent the frustration within.
But no sooner had he entered the forum than he was drawn to a post that was pinned to the top and marked as essential.
This top-of-her-grade scholar was in a relationship?
Principal Yang gritted his teeth in rage, feeling an endless fury rise within him, envious of that man next to Huo Xinya. Yang Shan was famously lascivious, and in the school, he had fantasized about women, whether they were beautiful teachers or female students.
Now seeing the scholarly school beauty being wooed, Yang Shan was instantly furious, utterly enraged.
"Outrageous, completely outrageous!"
He suddenly stood up from his chair, pulled open the door to his office, and stormed toward the senior high school teaching building, inwardly vowing to give that boy a good lesson, to vent his heart’s rage!
If he knew that the boy was actually Chen Nan, one wonders what expression Principal Yang would have...
