Very quickly, Chang Yingying found Lu Xia’s score and rank in the list.
She had scored 186 marks and came in 10th in the country.
If Chang Yingying had not seen Huo Yao’s results, she would have thought that Lu Xia did really well, but now...
Chang Yingying touched her nose. Recovering quickly, she smiled and said, “Xiaxia, your scores are pretty high as well.”
Chang Yingying helped pull Lu Xia out of her mental chaos. Lu Xia forcibly put on a calm expression and asked quietly. “What’s my score?”
“You scored 186 and came in 10th in the country.”
Chang Yingying clearly sounded subdued when she said this versus when she had spoken about Huo Yao’s score.
Lu Xia lowered her gaze when she heard this but then she said indifferently, “Okay.”
Lu Xia slid her phone back into her desk and turned around to take out the physics textbook. When she lowered her head, her ponytail hung from over her shoulder and concealed half her face.
Chang Yingying felt bad looking at Lu Xia. She wanted to console her but did not know what to say.
It was all because of Huo Yao.
After stealing 17 years of Lu Xia’s life and enjoying the privileges as the daughter of a rich family, she still turned up in City S to irritate her. She was absolutely annoying.
Why could she not stay in the Experimental Class and keep a low profile?
It was infuriating! AHHHHHH!

On the other end, Huo Yao went straight to Chen Yu’s office.

“Huo Yao, just the person I want to see,” said Chen Yu. Her stern face subconsciously turned warmer each time she saw Huo Yao.
Huo Yao was surprised. “Mhm?”
“Congratulations for coming first in the city level exam. You’re brilliant!” applauded Chen Yu from the bottom of her heart.
Due to the stuffy old Wei Mingzhe having the wrong impression about Huo Yao, she had almost turned away this bright student.
Hmph hmph. This time, Huo Yao came in top in the country again, so that old geezer was probably feeling even more resentful.
At the thought of that, Chen Yu could not help smiling.
Huo Yao went silent and spoke after a few seconds. “Miss Chen, I suspect that there is an error with my score.”
Chen Yu was stunned. She asked in concern. “What do you mean by that?”
“I shouldn’t have gotten just 200 marks. No, there’s no way I would score only 200 marks,” said Huo Yao gravely.
PFFFT...
What did she mean by only 200 marks?
The total marks were 210!
Chen Yu looked at Huo Yao with a complicated expression before she asked. “As per you, how much should your score be?”
“Full marks!” replied Huo Yao confidently and tilted her chin.
“Cough cough...” Chen Yu choked.
She genuinely trusted Huo Yao, but based on her understanding of the contest regulations, the probability of scoring full marks was almost non-existent, so...
“Huo Yao, it’s okay if you didn’t get full marks. Don’t be disheartened. In any case, you are still top in the country and have made it to the next round,” consoled Chen Yu in a sincere and earnest manner.
Huo Yao did not know whether to cry or to laugh.
She said, “Miss Chen, I don’t care about getting full marks. I just want to know why the 10 marks were deducted.”
Chen Yu realized that she had misunderstood Huo Yao. She could not help smiling as she replied. “Oh, I see. The people from the Education Association happen to be in the Principal’s office currently. I got distracted and didn’t finish what I wanted to tell you. The Principal has asked to see you. You can take this chance to ask him about your scores.”
