Chapter 230 A Heartfelt and Shocking Confession

"No way, first in the province? Are you kidding me?"
"How could that be fake? The exam number and school are correct."
"Doesn't that make him the strongest below the national competition level?"
"Even if you average in the scores from the second round, his ranking in the city wouldn't be low."

Before evening self-study, the list of winners in the school's math competition was announced. Because 115 (Chen Yuan) was the highest in Eleventh High, Chen Yuan's fame spread once again, and the first to be shaken was Class 18.

After all, these were his bros who always played CS, basketball, drank, and sang karaoke. Suddenly, it was like he had opened a cheat, becoming such an amazing person. Of course, everyone would feel sad deep down.

But after the sadness, came extremely realistic bandwagon behavior.

"Chen Yuan, this is my bro. I helped him open loot boxes before!" Zhou Yu directly put his arm around Chen Yuan's shoulder, suddenly taking the initiative to make them equals, enjoying some of his boundless glory... in his afterglow.

Class 18 never fought uphill battles.

"This kid used to be my deskmate. I didn't expect him to be so promising, haha." He Si Jiao stood up and also patted Chen Yuan's back forcefully, trying to build a relationship with a smile.

"Hey, look at them..."
Chen Yuan was speechless and couldn't help complaining to Zhou Fu.

"Chen Yuan, I even held him before."
Zhou Fu revealed a loving smile and also shamelessly started rewriting history.

Ah, no, she really did hold him!

"Alright, that's enough. Stop it."
Chen Yuan clenched his fist, hoping they wouldn't go too far.

"Doesn't that mean you've already earned ten points before the college entrance exam?" He Si Jiao asked in surprise.

"Tang Si Wen too," Chen Yuan reminded her.

"Out of the entire Eleventh High, only eleven people have bonus points, and Class 18 has two of them. Moreover, there were only two participants." Zhou Yu thought of Lao Mo's attitude today and suddenly understood. "No wonder he couldn't help but smile foolishly, his image completely collapsed. Lao Mo must have been praised by Lao He."

"That's great." He Si Jiao said with envy, "To be able to get bonus points and receive Lao Mo's favor. No, I need to study."

"Me too." Zhou Yu said unwillingly, "There's no reason why only he can do it, and I can't."

"Keep it up. I'm sure you'll surpass me," Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"I'm definitely going to surpass you..."
Zhou Yu suddenly reacted halfway through his sentence and pointed at Chen Yuan, "Hey! You little punk?"

"Don't be rebellious, or I would have slammed you into the wall back then."

"Ew!" Hearing this, Zhou Fu directly covered her ears and said with a disgusted expression, "How vulgar are you two?"

"Doesn't that make you even more... since you understand everything?"
Chen Yuan retorted.

"Hateful." Zhou Fu pushed Chen Yuan slightly, refusing to admit it.

"I can already imagine how the pure Xia Xin Yu is being harassed by this shrimp-headed man with dirty jokes." When He Si Jiao was imagining the scene of the two of them together, she revealed a particularly subtle expression.

And Zhou Yu, on the other hand, was the opposite.

Previously, He Si Jiao thought that Chen Yuan's personality might be more upright and sunny, while Zhou Yu was the lewd one.

But since starting to date Zhou Yu, He Si Jiao realized that it wasn't like that at all.

Zhou Yu was actually quite a gentleman.

He usually didn't make dirty jokes with her.

He was even quite shy.

On the other hand, this Chen Yuan was truly a model shrimp-headed man...

"You're misunderstanding Chen Yuan without understanding him." Chen Yuan refused to admit it, "I never make advances to Xin Yu."

"So you just come to harass us, is that it?" Zhou Fu squinted at him and said leisurely.

"No, wasn't I talking to Zhou Yu just now... never mind, I can't afford to offend the little fairy."

Chen Yuan didn't want to talk anymore, opened his book, and prepared to write two more physics problems before the self-study session started. At this moment, the phone in his drawer flashed.

Because it was still break time, the checking of phones in Class 18 wasn't particularly strict. So, he put his phone in the book, propped up one side, and opened it, discovering that he had been pulled into a group chat.

The group chat was named 'Three People'.

There were three people in the group: Liu Cheng Xi, Shi Yi, and himself.

Seeing this name, Chen Yuan was startled.

Chen Yuan: Holy crap, what a shrimp-headed group name. Can you change it?

Liu Cheng Xi: 'When walking with two others, they may serve as my teachers.' What's shrimp-headed about it?

Liu Cheng Xi: What 'Three People' are you thinking of?

Of course it's... of course it's...

Chen Yuan: Of course I know it's 'When walking with two others, they may serve as my teachers.' Who doesn't understand something so simple?

Liu Cheng Xi: I feel like you're getting worked up.

Worked up my ass!

Chen Yuan: Can you guys even use phones at your school?

Liu Cheng Xi: Of course not. I'm in the bathroom, secretly using it.

Chen Yuan: Why did you create this group? Cheng Xi-ge is such a proud person, how could he say 'they may serve as my teachers'?

Chen Yuan: It's abnormally humble.

Liu Cheng Xi: Because I lost, okay? Yes, I lost badly to you two.

Chen Yuan: That's not true. Yi-ge won. There's no difference between me and you. Just one point.

Liu Cheng Xi: A difference of one point can determine the top scorer on the *gaokao*!

Chen Yuan: Bro, don't worry. The difference will definitely be more than one point by then.

Liu Cheng Xi: You're underestimating me, right?

Liu Cheng Xi: Next week is the joint exam. Watch me bravely seize first place in the city.

Chen Yuan: Nice, nice, nice.

Liu Cheng Xi: By the way, have you seen it? The score rankings.

Liu Cheng Xi: The first in the province has one more point than Shi Yi.

Chen Yuan had also glanced at the score rankings roughly in Lao Mo's office, including the individual first-round scores and the average scores of both rounds.

Honestly, he wasn't surprised that Shi Yi was second.

Although Xia Hai was the provincial capital of Hai Dong, its population was only about one-sixth of the province.

In recent years, Xia Hai's probability of winning the provincial top scorer award has been around 50%, which was already amazing.

Also, the top scorer that Shi Yi and himself were talking about had always been assumed to be at the city level.

Hai Zhong, Fu Zhong, and other strong schools in the province also had a chance of winning.

Let's put it this way.

The probability of First High and Fourth High winning the provincial top scorer was 50% combined.

The probability of Hai Zhong and Fu Zhong winning was 40% combined.

These four schools accounted for 90% of the probability.

The remaining 10% was the probability of the other 627 high schools, including Eleventh High, winning the top scorer award.

In fact, the probability of each of these four schools winning the provincial top scorer award was twice the sum of the other 627 high schools.

Therefore, it was very normal for there to be people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.

It was already very, very awesome that Shi Yi could get second place in the province.

Of course, the ultimate dream of these four schools was definitely to win the provincial top scorer award.

But the ultimate dream cannot be the teaching goal.

The first thing that First High and Fourth High competed for was still the city-level top scorer.

Chen Yuan: He might just be good at certain subjects. He might not be as stable as Shi Yi-ge.

Liu Cheng Xi: That's true. He only got 670 points.

Look at that, is that human language you're speaking?

But at that level, 670 was indeed not good enough.

Liu Cheng Xi: Also, he's like you.

Chen Yuan: Are you trying to praise me to death again? The gap between the two of us isn't small, right?

The total score difference was fifty or sixty points, and the competition level was even more worlds apart.

Liu Cheng Xi: I'm saying, he's the same type as you.

What do you mean the same type?

Is he also a tall, handsome young man of 1.83 meters?

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking this dismissively, Liu Cheng Xi's message made the cigarette in his hand tremble slightly.

Even though he didn't have a cigarette in his hand.

Liu Cheng Xi: From 570 to 670, it only took three months.

"..."

His pupils instantly trembled.

Chen Yuan was deeply shocked.

This improvement of one hundred points truly scared him.

It wasn't the kind of insignificant leap from two hundred to three hundred, three hundred to four hundred, or four hundred to five hundred.

He was even more fierce than himself.

His starting point was already a decent score.

Damn it, do you also have a cheat?!

Impossible.

Normal people wouldn't use cheats to study. Oddballs like himself were definitely in the minority.

Looking at the entire Qidian website, you wouldn't find many like him.

Therefore, there really were geniuses in this world who suddenly attained enlightenment.

This also showed that he was truly too lazy and lacked talent.

Even with super-particles, his improvement was only this much!

This blow silenced him for a long time.

But at the same time, it also strengthened his confidence a little.

Bai Ming Ze, right?

Thank you, bro.

At least you let me know that it's not too late to start now.

Chen Yuan: Then I'll leave Shi Yi to you. I'll take care of Bai Ming Ze.

Liu Cheng Xi: Okay, I'll definitely kill Shi Yi this time.

At this moment, Shi Yi sent an emoji.

Study, study hard!

After being hit, Chen Yuan directly went to the class's physics representative, a man with the best physics scores, and borrowed his teaching materials.

Then, he compared them to his own.

When he couldn't do each question, he would point to the parts he didn't understand, like a Little Genius E-dictionary pen.
