Chapter 579 Equally Matched Foes

"..."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, the reporter was stunned on the spot.

The cameraman also paused.

What the hell was that? He even shoved the lens in my face?

But damn, that was a cool thing to say!

Keep filming!

Hurry, follow Chen Yuan's figure and get as much footage of him as possible.

After answering that question, the kid crossed the road and left.

Since they couldn't chase after him, the interview ended there.

"Good heavens, the test writers are strong, but my skills are even better? Does that mean he aced it?"

"Looks like he got a perfect score."

"That's too exaggerated. He can get a perfect score on a test that made so many students cry?"

"Is he really capable, or just bragging?"

"Since he's a candidate for the provincial top scorer, maybe he really can get a perfect score."

"Anyway, when the scores come out, if he doesn't get a perfect score, he'll be too embarrassed."

The onlookers were chattering.

Everyone watched Chen Yuan's receding figure, feeling that he was truly exaggerated and had a lot of style.

Those few words really had an air of disdain for everything.

"Not much footage..." the reporter said.

"But that one key sentence is enough!"

The cameraman quickly took out the memory card from the camera and said to the female reporter, "Watch the camera for me!"

After saying that, he hurried to the live broadcast van next to them.

Every major television station had one of these. Live broadcast vans, costing anywhere from several million to over ten million, were used to release first-hand footage.

The three elements of news: authenticity, timeliness, and freshness!

Among them, freshness was the most important.

Assuming freshness, timeliness was paramount. Generally, events had to become news within half an hour of happening.

Otherwise, they would quickly be outdone by similar content but faster news.

The cameraman went directly to the live broadcast van. Then, the entire news department worked together, using the equipment to quickly review their news before publishing it on various platforms.

This included television news, online news, evening newspapers, and software platforms like Douyin.

After finishing his work, the cameraman directly called the station director.

"Hey, Director Fang, it's me. I filmed Chen Yuan and already sent you the footage on WeChat. Take a look." As he said this, the cameraman looked like the triumphant guard of a warehouse, head held high, feeling great.

He hadn't caught Chen Yuan in the morning, causing the editorial department to suffer humiliation and be scolded a lot.

Now that he had caught him, he had to say something.

"Let me see."

After Director Fang replied like that, he probably started watching the footage.

After a while, he said, "Has it all been released?"

"Yes, it's released!"

"Okay, I'll quickly arrange for people to promote it."

"Then, Director, do you have any other instructions?" the cameraman asked with a smile.

"No, you did a good job."

After praising him, the director's tone became serious and earnest as he urged, "Remember, you only have one task these next two days: film Chen Yuan. Don't worry about any other interviews or filming. If you can film Chen Yuan, you'll have done a great service!"

"Okay, got it."

The cameraman had tasted the Chen Yuan economy and felt a surge of joy.

Although he had less work, it was critical.

Tomorrow morning's combined science exam was key, but the most important thing was after the English exam in the afternoon.

At that time, if Chen Yuan could say something very arrogant or explosive, that would be fantastic.

After all, his identity was too special, and any famous saying he said would go viral!

Okay, keep milking Chen Yuan!

...

"Phew..."

After coming out of the examination hall and arriving at the school gate, Ke Jiayuan exhaled.

At this time, he saw Shi Yi at the school gate.

The other party's expression was not exactly calm, but it wasn't too heavy either.

The one with the heavy heart...

Was himself.

After finishing the Chinese exam, Ke Jiayuan once thought that his era was coming.

This year might be his best opportunity to make a name for himself.

But after finishing the math exam, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

If tomorrow's combined science exam was this difficult, then forget about surpassing Shi Yi, he might not even reach seven hundred points.

For a well-known figure like himself, who was considered the most likely to surpass Shi Yi, to be left behind by more than twenty points was too embarrassing.

Alas...

This year, they just started using the national exam paper, and it was already so difficult.

What were the test writers thinking?

"Yo, Ke Jiayuan."

At this time, the homeroom teacher ran into him, then patted him on the back, but after seeing his expression, he became a little nervous: "Why the long face?"

"Ah? Do I?" Ke Jiayuan asked in surprise.

"You do a little." This Ke Jiayuan was the homeroom teacher's favorite and one of the strongest candidates. If he was like this, it would definitely be worrying.

"It's actually okay. I wrote everything I was supposed to write..."

"You didn't finish it?"

The teacher was surprised.

What did he mean by "everything I was supposed to write?"

You are Ke Jiayuan.

For someone like you who can challenge for the top scorer, isn't it a given that you finish all the questions?

"Today's math was really difficult. There were even competition-level questions in the back," Ke Jiayuan said rather aggrievedly.

"Even you think it's difficult?" The homeroom teacher was very surprised.

Ke Jiayuan wasn't great at math, but that was compared to Shi Yi, so he wasn't that great.

But if he was placed in Class One, he would definitely be above average.

If he was placed in the entire Fourth High School, he would be considered excellent.

If he thought it was difficult, it meant that the overall average score of Class One would drop a lot.

"Hopefully I can get 140...but it's really uncertain," Ke Jiayuan said with a good understanding of his own abilities.

"Is it that difficult?" The homeroom teacher felt a little uneasy after hearing this.

Could it be that Ke Jiayuan didn't do well?

"Teacher, you can ask Shi Yi. He's over there." Ke Jiayuan just pointed over when he saw that there was also a girl next to Shi Yi, so he retracted his finger, "Of course, he might be a little..."

"Shi Yi." The homeroom teacher directly called out to him.

Turning his head to look at him, Shi Yi prepared to come over.

But the girl next to him hesitated a little.

So, after a brief moment of embarrassment, Shi Yi directly took the girl's hand and walked over...

"Wow," Ke Jiayuan was a little surprised.

"Teacher, Jiayuan, this is Wen Xin," Shi Yi took the initiative to introduce.

"Hello," Ke Jiayuan nodded.

"Which class is your girlfriend in?" the homeroom teacher asked.

"..." Wu Wenxin froze for a moment, then quickly replied, "Teacher, I'm in Class 16."

"Oh." The homeroom teacher nodded, then looked at this well-mannered, beautiful, and tall student who didn't seem to have very good grades based on her eyes, and was still a little impressed by Shi Yi.

He looked dull, but he didn't expect him to be so popular with girls and to be able to date such a beautiful girlfriend.

If it were normal times, he would definitely say a few words.

But now they were about to graduate, unless he repeated a year...呸呸呸, how could Shi Yi repeat a year!

Where's the wood? Where's the wood? I need to touch it quickly!

"How do you feel about this math exam?" the homeroom teacher asked Shi Yi nervously.

When asked this, the girl next to him seemed to have been poked in a sore spot and became particularly depressed.

Shi Yi first comforted her by patting her on the back, then said to the homeroom teacher, "This time, it was indeed a little difficult."

After hearing this, Ke Jiayuan immediately looked at the homeroom teacher: I wasn't wrong, it was very difficult.

"Did you finish it?" The homeroom teacher asked this, already starting to get nervous.

If even someone like Shi Yi didn't finish it, then he really didn't dare to imagine how outrageous it must be.

Fourth High School was counting on Shi Yi to beat Chen Yuan and Bai Mingze.

"Of course, I finished it," Shi Yi said.

"Of course..." Hearing this, Ke Jiayuan was about to collapse, "You're too much of a monster."

How could it be "of course?"

You finished all these abnormal questions as a matter of course?

Crazy!

Now, I even want Chen Yuan to surpass you a little.

I can't stand people being too crazy.

"Then that means?" The homeroom teacher looked at Shi Yi expectantly.

"After finishing, I still had some time to check... I think there shouldn't be any problems," Shi Yi gave an okay gesture.

"As expected of you, you really put my mind at ease."

Putting his hand on Shi Yi's shoulder, the homeroom teacher felt relieved.

Ke Jiayuan on the side looked at him in astonishment.

"You also put my mind at ease, all of you put my mind at ease." Balancing things out, he also patted Ke Jiayuan. The homeroom teacher was still good at smoothing things over.

But since this was the style, then this time, his two students shouldn't have any competitive relationship.

Ke Jiayuan was suitable for those medium-difficulty exam papers. At the same time, the English aspect could be slightly more difficult, because this kid's English was truly unbelievably strong.

Only in this way would he have the possibility of challenging for the top scorer.

But now, it was obviously Shi Yi's.

"Hey, Wenxin, Shi Yi."

Just then, a girl's voice appeared.

Shi Yi and Wu Wenxin turned their heads in unison, then saw her.

"Xinyu," Wu Wenxin was particularly happy to see her, walked forward, and held her hand, "This math exam was so difficult."

"Yeah..." Xia Xinyu also squeezed out a smile and said.

Honestly, if she was in the nervous state she was in yesterday, today's math exam would have been a disaster.

Fortunately, she had adjusted and her sleep hadn't been affected.

She should get around 140.

"So strong, that's great. After all, your boyfriend is Chen Yuan..."

When Wu Wenxin said this, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, then quickly waved her hand and explained to Shi Yi, who looked a little guilty, "My boyfriend is also strong and taught me too. It's just that my foundation is too poor."

"...I'm actually fine."

Shi Yi indicated that he didn't need to be comforted.

Really didn't need it?

He did need it...

"Chen Yuan?" Shi Yi's homeroom teacher heard this name, then looked at the girl again and recognized who she was, "Will he come later?"

"..." Xia Xinyu was addressed by the homeroom teacher of another class and said, "He'll come find me later."

"Oh, is that so?"

He originally wanted to leave or go meet other students, but after hearing this, he had an idea.

"Then I'll wait for him too. It's been a long time, I'll say hello," Shi Yi said.

"Okay," Xia Xinyu nodded, then stood with Wu Wenxin.

The only one who was out of place here was Ke Jiayuan, who thought there was nothing to do, so he left first.

Although he was known as the Source God of Fourth High School, he wasn't part of this little circle.

After a while, Chen Yuan appeared. Seeing Shi Yi, he seemed happy: "Hello, Brother Yi, and Sister-in-law Yi."

Wu Wenxin, who was teased like this, blushed, bit her lip, and nodded in response, "Long time no see."

"How was this exam?" Shi Yi asked Chen Yuan.

Hearing this, the homeroom teacher's ears also perked up.

Shi Yi's opponent was Chen Yuan.

In Xia Hai City, there was only Chen Yuan.

This time, the math difficulty was raised, which might be an opportunity for Shi Yi.

After all, the homeroom teacher believed that Shi Yi's science and math skills should be stronger than Chen Yuan's...

They should be!

Full of expectations, he waited for Chen Yuan's answer.

Then, he heard him say very calmly, "It's okay. Could it be more difficult than our competition that time?"

"..." The homeroom teacher froze.

His evaluation was "it's okay."

It wasn't that he did okay on the exam.

But that the difficulty was okay.

Then, the implication was: a perfect score was no problem!

"What about Chinese?" the homeroom teacher couldn't help but ask.

"Ah?" Chen Yuan paused, then looked at him and said, "I think Chinese is relatively simple..."

Perfect score in math, simple Chinese... and he was good at English, and his science level wasn't too far behind Shi Yi.

Dangerous!

"As expected of you," but his Shi Yi looked at Chen Yuan with an approving look.

At the same time, Chen Yuan also looked at him like this.

It turned out that the intense rivalry that their teachers thought existed, wasn't present in the two students.

They didn't want the other to underperform.

Instead, they hoped that the other would have a better performance.

What spirited and energetic youths!

You need to know that in the workplace, the method of advancement is—hoping that the other party makes mistakes.

"Then we'll go back to the hotel first."

Chen Yuan took the initiative to wave.

"Okay, goodbye." Shi Yi waved his hand, then took the initiative to shake hands with the other party, congratulating him, "I haven't said good luck on the college entrance exam yet, Chen Yuan, good luck."

"Me too, sorry. Brother Yi, good luck, do well."

In this way, Xinyuan said goodbye to Wuyi.

The two of them returned to the hotel.

"I'm not checking the answers," Xia Xinyu, sitting on the bed, took the initiative to declare, then said, "But I checked, and this time's math exam should be at least 140 points."

"That's great, this time the score line will definitely drop. And if your math score doesn't drop, your hopes will be even greater!" Chen Yuan was happy for Xia Xinyu.

"Yeah," Xia Xinyu also felt that this was encouraging.

After all, these two exams had been normal in terms of performance.

And the score line was definitely going to drop.

It was settled!

"Then let's rest for a while and then go out to eat," Xia Xinyu said.

"Okay, I'll play on my phone for a while."

Chen Yuan agreed with a smile, then sat on the bed and took out his phone.

Then, he quickly saw his own video.

It had only been half an hour, but it was already trending.

And the comments below the video were so wonderful.

Squirrel Eating Mooncakes: He's really good at pretending, damn you cameraman, this is the last time.

Night Rain Hanjiang: Damn, I almost cried after the exam, and seeing him like this really broke my defense. But Source God is really awesome. We're also from Experimental High School, but no student finished all the questions.

A Bin QwQ: I'll mark this first. If you don't get a perfect score in math, I'll scold you.

Honeycomb Drill Reply: Don't mark it. He likes people scolding him and then proving them wrong the most. Brothers, learn a lesson!

West of Moon Gazing: Let me absorb some of Source God's science power. If possible, I'm willing to furiously Xidi of Sydney!

Non-Cuttlefish: Let's wait for this year's Hai Dong Province top scorer. If it's not Chen Yuan, it'll be Shockwave.

So strict?

It has to be the top scorer?

Chen Yuan felt the pressure.

But only a little.

Non-Cuttlefish, you just wait for Xiwo's Xidi!
