Chapter 84: Chapter 83 Her Name is…
Lu Xinnuan’s original smile froze on her face, and something inside her eyes shattered.
She knew all too well what full marks represented.
Even her own score of 83, which came from her utmost effort and was quite impressive, paled in comparison to the perfect 100. It indicated that the other party’s abilities went far beyond this. And this was a competition question, at least ten times harder than a regular test.
Such a score was something she never imagined, nor dared to dream of.
Moreover, the other person was a first-year student, easily outclassing all these top students.
The feeling of triumph deflated substantially as Lu Xinnuan clutched her textbook, barely managing to stabilize her emotions by reassuring herself that she was still the top of her grade.
Perhaps there truly was a genius among the new students.
“Teacher, who exactly is this master? Give us a hint!”
“Let us worship to our heart’s content!”
Even though they didn’t know the person, they were innately curious.
Wan Lin cleared his throat and with traces of admiration on his usually expressionless face, revealed slowly, “Her name is Lu Mian.”
“Ah, so it’s the great Lu Mian.”
Someone let out a quick exclamation, then—
The class fell silent!
Lu Mian’s name was not unfamiliar to their Senior Year (1) class.
Almost instinctively, everyone turned to glance at Lu Xinnuan, with the question evident in their eyes.
Is it your sister Lu Mian?
Lu Xinnuan also especially wanted to know, it must be someone with the same name, it must be…
“First Year (25) class, Lu Mian,” Wan Lin added, “This just proves to us, never underestimate anyone from any class…”
First Year (25) class, Lu Mian!
Sounds poured in from around, but Lu Xinnuan heard none of it.
Despite her wish to remain calm, the news pierced through her reason and shattered her self-esteem. She felt breathless, as if suffocating, with the name “Lu Mian” echoing relentlessly in her ears.
Lu Mian had scored the first place.
Lu Mian had scored full marks.
Lu Mian finished in just an hour and handed in the paper!
How could this be possible!
What’s so impossible about it…
Sui Yuan murmured quietly, a touch of splendor on her timid face.
She clenched her fists excitedly and silently cheered “Yay” inside.
She knew it, their Mianmian could definitely do it!
From the first time she met her, she knew she was different. She was calm and composed, cool and distant, with a rationality beyond her years.
In moments of crisis and life-and-death situations, she shouldered the sky for all five of them with her frail, slender frame.
If it hadn’t been for that incident later on…
Sui Yuan shook her head to dismiss the thought and when she returned to her senses, fear had already caused her hands to sweat, too afraid to continue thinking.
Aside from anything else, there was no doubt about Mianmian’s capabilities; the girl simply didn’t care about these things. She had the ability to score full marks anytime, but she lacked the desire and drive to show off.
The girl probably only came to study at Kunpeng to keep her company, and perhaps a small part for investigating the kidnapping case.
She thought more than once that Mianmian had done enough for them; wasn’t it time they helped Mianmian find a reason to live again?
Their Mianmian was meant to shine brightly…
Upon hearing the news, Su Jue’s expression was also ugly.
He had thought that Lu Mian handed in her paper early because she wouldn’t know how to answer.
In fact, she had finished everything with confidence to spare.
How could he have been so ignorant to consider sinking to the bottom with Lu Mian, to accompany her—how laughable.
Yet, if her physics grade was that impressive, how could she have ended up in such a predicament?
And how could she be disdained to such an extent by the Lu Family?
