After the targets left, Xu Yao and Su Rao looked at each other.

Half a month after New Year’s Day, the school had a winter vacation.

The results of the final exam for the third years came out very quickly.

The school would send the report card to the home address specified by the students before the Spring Festival.

However, the list of the top 100 in their grade was released in advance, and the class teacher’s sent it to each class group.

Chen Nianqing and Lu Wan tied for first place with 724 points, while the new scholarship student came third with 712 points.

Su Rao was fourth with a score of 707.

When Lu Wan opened the class group, everyone was discussing the report card!

Lu Wan, who was the most popular, finally took the first place in the exam, although Chen Nianqing’s name did not recede.

Then everyone was shocked. Where did the scholarship student come from? This was too amazing!

Such a good performance in his first exam!

These days, if one wants to be a scholarship student, one must have real skill.

Li Che’s popularity in school was not low. He’s lean, mild tempered, and the kind of herbivorous boy who had no sense of aggression.

He’s the complete opposite of those talkative outgoing dandies in school, so many girls like him.

On the plane.

Lu Wan pondered before saying, “Your score in the exam is the same as mine.”

Chen Nianqing smiled and said, “Yes, you’re great.”

Lu Wan: “Wait, shouldn’t you say ‘next time I will surpass you’ or something like that?”

“Then if I surpass you, will you be happy?”

“No.” Lu Wan paused, then added, “But if you deliberately lost the game, I won’t be happy either.”

“Do you mean that you will be happy only if I lose after I go all out?”

Lu Wan: “Yes.”

Chen Nianqing: “……”

It’s a bit complicated.

But my girlfriend is so cute that I think about how to better myself every day.

———

Business class at the front of the plane.

Xu Yao: “They probably didn’t notice us.”

Su Rao: “No, but why do you insist on coming?”

They purposefully covered their faces with scarves and were the first to board the plane, of course they wouldn’t.

Xu Yao: “Why can’t I come along?! If they have any intimate behavior outside, such as opening a room…… then I can prevent it from happening. Lu Wan won’t do that, but I’m afraid that kid Chen Nianqing has bad intention and is very sly.”

Su Rao frowned. “What are you talking about? You think everyone is like you?”

Xu Yao: “Don’t slander me. I’m still a virgin.”

“I know you’re a virgin. The whole school knows, so cut it out, will you?” Su Rao was on the verge of bursting out any minute. This fool.

Xu Yao hesitated for a while and asked, “What’s the matter with you today? Is it because you didn’t do well in the exam so you’re in a bad mood?”

She’s literally like a powder keg.

On the day of the recording, the audience entered the venue four hours in advance.

Most of those watching this kind of show were interested in the game, and their skills were not low.

Xu Yao seemed out of place.

During the security check before the recording, the audience had to hand in their mobile phones and electronic devices.

Su Rao prepared in advance and brought a book to read during the waiting period.

Xu Yao had nothing to do but wait until he was crazy from boredom.

He moved his head closer, originally wanted to read with Su Rao, but seeing that it was all in English, he immediately retreated.

Su Rao closed the book and asked, “What do you want now?”

Xu Yao: “We’re just waiting. Can’t we go and see Lu Wan?”

Lu Wan was worried that she would be assigned to fight against Chen Nianqing at the beginning.

If that happened, one of them has to be eliminated as soon as they came up.

She personally hoped to meet him gradually, after all, they were friends, even if they had to be opponents, it should at least be in the second round if possible.

When she got the matched up list, Lu Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Nianqing was in the first group and she was in the second. They were not rivals.

Lu Wan asked with a smile, “Nervous?”

“Not nervous.”

Lu Wan patted him on the shoulder. “Go, give me a good start.”

“Okay, I will.”

The final was live but with a ten-minute time difference between the recording and the broadcast. There was also a big screen in the backstage for the contestants so they could see the situation on the stage.

“There should be no suspense this time. Chen Nianqing is sure to win.”

“Yeah, I think so too.”

“Chen Nianqing seems to be stable all the time.”

The remaining six contestants in the backstage apart from Lu Wan, all started talking.

Even if Chen Nianqing doesn’t get the first place, he should be in the top three since he was the contestant with the most stable performance.

Of course, that might not also be the case. After all, certain opportunities could develop during the game.

Maybe…… his opponent would be better than him this time. This kind of situation wasn’t unheard of.

After the topic on the big screen came out, the room became quiet for a moment.

The questions in the first few rounds were all centered on memorization and when it comes to the top fifteen, it leaned more towards calculation, which raised the difficulty level.

Lu Wan glanced at the question. If it goes well, it would take about four to six minutes for her to solve it.

If it doesn’t go well…… it’s hard to tell.

She reckoned that Chen Nianqing should be similar.

Soon someone rang the bell before the four minute mark.

Lu Wan looked at the screen. The contestant who rang the bell wasn’t Chen Nianqing?

Her breath caught in her throat and her heart missed a beat.

She probably wouldn’t be as nervous as she was now if she’s the one playing the game live.
