Chen Yuan took the initiative to call, which means…

Holy crap!

He Hongtao suddenly had a very cool idea.

So, he answered the phone directly.

"Chen Yuan, what's up?" He Hongtao asked, suppressing a smile.

This is a sincere person.

Instead of pretending to be nonchalant and adopting a lazy attitude to answer the phone, trying to establish a pretentious persona.

But such a clear-headed tone made He Hongtao a little embarrassed.

After all, he was a big principal, and being so eager as if he had been waiting for the phone call was a bit too uncool…

Forget it, I don't need to stand on ceremony with Chen Yuan.

"Teacher, good morning," Chen Yuan said.

"Ah, good morning," He Hongtao said.

Why is he still saying hello? Tell me the score! But this tone sounds like…

"Thank you for your care over the past few years of high school," Chen Yuan said again.

"It sounds like a farewell, what's going on?" He Hongtao was a little embarrassed.

This is making it strangely sentimental.

"Well, got it," Chen Yuan said.

?!

Got it?

What does this mean?!

He Hongtao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could it be, he got the top score?

"Is it, is it the top score?" He Hongtao asked tentatively.

"Yes, it is," Chen Yuan said calmly.

"That's great! Congratulations!" He Hongtao clenched his fist, his whole body was excited, and he couldn't restrain his voice.

He wasn't this excited when he learned that his daughter's score might be enough for Yuzi.

Of course, it was close.

The degree of joy was about the same.

Chen Yuan's news can only be said to be icing on the cake.

"It's the national top score," Chen Yuan added lightly.

This time, He Hongtao's excitement skyrocketed.

Holy crap!

What the hell?

The national top score?

He got the national top score in the first year?!

This was completely unexpected.

Even a little unbelievable.

Before this exam, He Hongtao had already thought that it would be amazing if Chen Yuan got the city's top score, after all, in the last joint exam, Bai Mingze's score was a considerable lead over the two of them, and this student's progress curve was too exaggerated.

But now, he not only crossed Shi Yi, but also crossed Bai Mingze.

No, he skipped them both and went straight for the national top score.

His winning the national top score can be said to have completely changed the fate of Eleventh High School…

Previously, the number of Yuzi and the potential of the third school were evenly matched, but now, there is no suspense.

This year, Eleventh High School is the third school in Xia Hai.

In a few years, Eleventh High School will be second only to the Four Great High Schools, rising from 20th in the province to 5th!

And he himself will become the principal second only to Zhang Jianjun in the province's high school education.

Of course, these are all stories for later.

At this moment, he only felt glory.

"Congratulations," He Hongtao said with a gentle smile after holding back for a while, "I can see all the hard work you've put in along the way, this is what you deserve."

"Well, this achievement also belongs to you, teacher, and Eleventh High School," Chen Yuan generously shared the achievement.

"I'm touched that you think so," He Hongtao was a little teary-eyed, so he tried to maintain his composure and said, "Have you told your parents yet?"

"I'm calling them now."

He Hongtao: "..."

Crap!

I'm the first one?!

The first one to notify is me?

This, this, this… Thank you!

"Well, good, go ahead," He Hongtao said 'kindly'.

Then, he hung up the phone slowly.

Then, clenching his fist, like a Saiyan powering up, he sank his waist hard, and his whole body tensed up with excitement.

The era of Eleventh High School has arrived.

Damn it, Chen Yuan, you're so awesome!

Excited, He Hongtao paced back and forth at home, unable to hide his smile and joy.

Then, he directly @all in the staff group:

Congratulations to Chen Yuan, a student of our school, for winning the national top score in science in this year's college entrance examination [flowers] [flowers]

………

"Hello, student Shi Yi, are you free this afternoon? We can arrange to meet," said the teacher from the Tsinghua University admissions office on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, okay," Shi Yi said steadily.

"Okay, then I'll pick you up then," Zhuang Xin said.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

After Shi Yi answered, he hung up the phone and put down his phone.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he raised his head and looked at the light above his head.

Then, he picked up the manga next to his pillow, flipped through a few pages, and put it down again.

Then, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Raw score, 730.

This was within his expectations.

When estimating the score, it was almost the highest it could be.

This score was still a bit of a pleasant surprise, after all, the previous highest score was only 728 points.

But the unexpected things are not just this.

Chen Yuan, who had never exceeded 728, scored 732 this time.

Bai Mingze also scored 730.5, 0.5 points higher than himself.

If Bai Mingze's loss can be considered a narrow defeat, then Chen Yuan's two points were a complete defeat.

He knew very well that at this score level, a difference of two points was a manifestation of hard power.

He didn't lose in comprehensive science, mathematics, or English.

The only subject he lost in was actually Chinese, which Chen Yuan was previously the least proficient in…

Clenching his fist and lightly biting his lip, Shi Yi wondered if he could win against Chen Yuan as long as he brought his Chinese to the extreme as well.

Although composition was not his strong point, the previous scores obviously shouldn't have been deducted too much…

Shi Yi, who had always been the most rational about winning and losing, and had always been humble and low-key, suddenly realized that he cared so much about victory and defeat.

That he was so unacceptable of losing.

Leaning on the bed, with his hand on his forehead, he was in a particularly complicated mood.

At the same time, there was some apology.

He had promised Zhang Jianjun.

And Principal Zhang had allowed Wen Xin to enter Fourth High School because of his promise.

He had violated a gentleman's promise…

"Huff…"

Raising his head and letting out a long sigh again, after adjusting his emotions slightly, he picked up his phone.

Shi Yi: Principal Zhang, I'm sorry, I scored 730 this time, which is still a bit far from the top score, I have disappointed you.

Shi Yi: Wen Xin, the scores are out, 730, which is the best score I've ever gotten, but Chen Yuan and Mingze performed better and didn't get the top score.

……

Shi Yi remembered those who had expected him.

So even though he was in a rather low mood at the moment, he still reported the scores to everyone who was waiting for his news as soon as possible.

………

"Can we arrange lunch? Student Mingze, you can bring your parents and we can chat together," said the Jibei admissions office.

"Yes, we can, but…" Bai Mingze asked puzzled, "You're meeting me today, are you in Ning City?"

"Yes, I'm in Ning City."

"But why are you in Ning City? Shouldn't you be at Jibei University? Or… Xia Hai?"

Bai Mingze was very confused.

Why is the admissions office teacher in Ning City?

There are so many cities in the country, why is he staying here?

It's weird, right?

Oh, I see, is he specifically recruiting students from Hai High School?

"……Ah." The other side paused, a little embarrassed, and then quickly explained, "We have been paying close attention to Student Mingze before, but according to the regulations, we cannot contact students privately before the scores are released, so I can call you as soon as the scores are out."

"Eh? Did you come specifically for me?" Bai Mingze was surprised.

"……Yes, that's right!" The teacher said, "I was also worried that you would be snatched away by someone else."

"Then aren't you worried that Chen Yuan will be snatched away by someone else? He's the top scorer."

"…As for that side, I will have colleagues to communicate with him."

"Oh, I see, um, I understand."

"See you at noon?"

"Okay, see you at noon."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Mingze got out of bed and went to the desk and sat down.

Looking at Senior Sister Su Yu in front of him, he suddenly felt embarrassed…

Crap, Senior Sister Su Yu must have seen my interview, the interview where I boasted that I would be this year's top scorer.

But now, I'm just the second place, it's really embarrassing to have my boast slapped in the face…

Although he can justify it with the logic that the top scorer in Ning City is still the top scorer, Senior Sister Su Yu obviously knows what he's talking about.

Sigh, I knew I shouldn't have bragged!

In a struggle, he directly turned the photo frame of Senior Sister Su Yu to the other side, which slightly alleviated the embarrassment in his heart.

The scores are out, I should tell my parents too…

Bai Mingze pushed open the door, and when he was about to tell his parents, he realized that these two were still sleeping and hadn't woken up.

More than a year of staying up late and getting up early has fixed Bai Mingze's dark circles under his eyes. At the same time, his biological clock has also been fixed.

So even though the college entrance examination has been over for so long, he still has to force himself to stay up until one o'clock every night before he can fall asleep, and he wakes up before six o'clock in the morning, which can be described as a death schedule…

It seems that he has to relax for a while before he can slowly become a normal person.

Bai Mingze went to the refrigerator, and was about to take a bottle of Coke, when he suddenly froze.

On the top row of the refrigerator were seven packs of cookies he had baked in the past few days.

Xin Yuan, Wu Yi, Ya Xi, and Zhou Fu.

Yesterday, when everyone was praising each other, he said that the top scorer would treat everyone.

And this was also to send these cookies out.

After all, no matter who gets the top score, they will meet in Xia Hai.

However, he wanted to be the one to treat everyone…

Previously, he wanted to study hard because he had a green tea senior dangling him, and he wanted to go to the same school as her.

Later, after seeing Chen Yuan and Shi Yi's friends being helped out by Senior Sister Su Yu, his idea changed from that green tea senior to wanting Senior Sister Su Yu to recognize him…

He actually knew that even if he became the top scorer, he would not be able to chase after the beautiful Senior Sister Su Yu.

After all, he is not as good-looking as Chen Yuan and Liu Chengxi.

He just wanted to become a remarkable person, so that in the future, others would think that he was not as ordinary as he looked because of this label.

I have an amazing title that will make people say 'I've heard so much about you' when they first meet me.

But perhaps, nothing can be changed.

Even if he doesn't get the top score, Chen Yuan will be very popular.

He himself is a dazzling person.

And he himself will never become someone else's light…

Drip, drip.

A few crystal clear things fell in front of him.

Covering his face with one hand, Bai Mingze couldn't help but cry.

Not purely because of frustration, not purely because of regret.

He was filled with mixed emotions at this moment.

In fact, when he was checking the answers, when he missed a listening comprehension question in English, he had a premonition that he might lose this time.

When he beat Chen Yuan and Shi Yi before, he could only barely win with zero mistakes.

In the biggest exam, he made a mistake instead.

However, he was not underestimating the enemy in the last English exam. He also handed in the paper 30 minutes early because he couldn't find any more mistakes to check.

Of course, losing is losing, there is nothing to say.

Competition is so cruel.

Gradually, his crying stopped.

Taking out the Coke and icing his eyes, he slowly dialed a phone number…

When he met these boys in Xia Hai, he was very jealous.

Everyone has a very beautiful girlfriend…

Do top students in the provincial capital have to have a puppy love?

But after getting in touch, he knew that these people were very good.

No wonder such beautiful girls like them.

Boys can't resist either.

So, he wants to maintain this precious friendship.

"Brother Mingze?" Chen Yuan asked, a little confused.

"Ah, it's me."

Bai Mingze completely swept away the haze, and said in a childish tone, "Congratulations on getting the top score."
