Chapter 323: Chapter 322: What Can You Do to Me?

Zhen Yan had never seen his sister smile so happily before and was a bit stunned for the moment. But he still nodded emphatically, "Yeah! Let’s go home for dinner!!"

Thank goodness the National Day holiday hadn’t passed yet! The school was still on summer schedule, which meant longer lunch breaks, allowing Zhen Yu and her brother to grab an extra meal at home.

Rushing into the classroom, Zhen Yu was immediately caught by the English class representative.

"Zhen Yu! Are you signing up for the English competition or not? You’re the only one who hasn’t replied, and I have to hand it in when the teacher arrives!"

"Sign up!" Zhen Yu had already thought it through. There weren’t many events she was confident in, but English was definitely one of them.

So even if it might mean competing in the provincial city, Zhen Yu had to bite the bullet and go for it! Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to get the full 20 extra points for the middle school exams.

"You signed up for the English contest?" As soon as she returned to her seat, Lu Huai asked.

"Yeah! Didn’t you?" Zhen Yu asked in surprise.

Lu Huai shook his head, "No! I already got points from the English competition last year!"

"Oh?" Speaking of which, Zhen Yu had transferred schools nearly a month ago, and there hadn’t been any major tests in the grade yet! So she didn’t know the ranking of the students’ grades in class.

There were plenty of small quizzes in various subjects during class, but they were all temporary! So she could only tell that Lu Huai was a good student, but she had no idea how good he actually was.

She suddenly remembered the nickname ’King’ and couldn’t help asking, "Is your nickname Lu Tianwang because you’re ranked in the top four of the whole grade?"

"Hehe!" Lu Huai chuckled without a word.

"What are you laughing about?" Zhen Yu felt baffled, "Is it, or is it not?"

Lu Huai’s smile grew brighter, but he pressed his lips together and shook his head, refusing to answer.

Zhen Yu decided to ignore him! After all, she figured that at most after the National Day, the school would have to organize exams!

Ordinary schools have midterms every two months, and final exams every two months. How could a key middle school like Affiliated School not have a couple more exams!?

——

Zhen Yu’s guess was correct! On Friday evening, just as self-study was about to end, the homeroom teacher suddenly came into the classroom and announced exams for the next two days!

It was that kind of mock exam with single desks facing backward!

Once the announcement was made, he asked everyone to pack up and adjust the direction of the desks to his instructions!

"That’s so doggone..." Zhen Yu silently complained in her heart.

Using the time after evening self-study to set up the exam room, wishing to notify students at the last minute before the exam, and even taking up the only Sunday of the week.

How vicious can it get! Not a chance to prepare, unless one stays up all night cramming...

Of course, Zhen Yu didn’t need to prepare. She listened attentively every day, and if the content was covered in the three-year textbooks, she’d treat it as a review.

If there was new extended content, she’d do practice exercises after class.

She usually used the evening self-study time to study freshman year courses on her own, and after Lu Huai discovered this, he simply joined her in self-study.

Thus, the two would occasionally exchange study tips with each other.

It seemed like the whole school had the same arrangement; when Teacher Liu announced the dismissal, Zhen Yu, walking out of the teaching building, noticed that the playground was as crowded as usual at dismissal time.

Zhen Yu took a deep breath of the chilly autumn night air, feeling much more open and at ease.

No one had told her the results of the placement test, and she, being tactful, didn’t inquire. Nearly a month into the new school, what Zhen Yu was looking forward to the most was an exam!

An exam that could clearly show the gap between her and the others, to put herself in the right place!

"The first mock exam! Here I come!" Zhen Yu gazed at the night sky and shouted inwardly.

——

On Monday morning, as soon as Zhen Yu entered the classroom, she felt something was off. Everyone looked stunned when they saw her, their eyes filled with shock!

Zhen Yu walked calmly to her seat, accompanied by everyone’s gaze.

Even after she sat down, all eyes were still on her. Zhen Yu had no choice but to speak up, "Why are you all staring at me?"

After a moment of silence, a girl finally couldn’t help but ask, "Zhen Yu! Where did you transfer from? Are all your former classmates this amazing?"

"...Amazing?" Zhen Yu had a realization, "Did I do really well this time?"

"It’s more than just good!" A boy suddenly exclaimed loudly, "You’re first in the whole grade group!!! Even Lu Tianwang got trampled by you!"

"Uh..." Zhen Yu hadn’t anticipated this ranking herself and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Luckily, the students weren’t particularly interested in hearing her speak. After a couple of students had spoken up, everyone else began to express their thoughts, discussing their impressions.

Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Zhen Yu went back to what she was doing, taking out her English dictionary to continue memorizing words.

But just as she lowered her head, a loud yell came from the doorway, "Zhen Yu! You actually snatched my first place!"

The classroom fell silent for a moment. Zhen Yu glanced up at Lu Huai and then continued to look at her dictionary, "Since I’ve snatched it, what can you do about it?"

"Awesome! Zhen Yu mighty!"

"Listen to that spirit! Oh my! Are we going to have a Zhen Tianwang soon?"

"What’s this Zhen Tianwang, fake king stuff! That’s a really ugly nickname you’ve come up with!"

"You come up with a better one! Let’s hear it!"

"Zhen... Zhen Wudi! How about that?"

A few boys looked at each other and nodded vehemently, "Damn! That’s a powerful nickname! Well chosen!"

——

Coming up with a nickname right in front of the person in question was something Zhen Yu had never encountered in both her lives combined! But she merely glanced at the boys and went back to studying.

Lu Huai, of course, heard the nickname the others gave Zhen Yu, and, with dissatisfaction written on his face, pulled out the chair to sit next to her and muttered quietly, "How come I never got such an unbeatable nickname!"

"Isn’t King good?" To Lu Huai’s surprise, Zhen Yu actually responded!

He looked at Zhen Yu and said, "It’s good, but it’s not as good as your unbeatable!"

"If you like it, take it. Let everyone call you Lu Wudi from now on!" Zhen Yu treated him like a child!

Although that’s what she was doing.

"Easy for you to say! Humph!"

Hearing that ’humph’, Zhen Yu thought he was going to ignore her, but Lu Huai, this peculiar guy, suddenly leaned in closer and asked, "Which subject did you score higher than me on?"

"How would I know! I don’t even know how I became first!" Zhen Yu spread her hands helplessly at him.

"They haven’t told you yet! Wait a moment!" With that, Lu Huai stood up and ran towards the class president at the front.

"Here! All your scores are on this!" Lu Huai came back with a piece of paper and sat down to start comparing subject by subject.

"Let me see... Wow! Zhen Yu, are you even human?! How did you get a perfect score!" Lu Huai’s exclamation set the class buzzing.

Many classmates craned their necks, asking, "Which subject did she get a perfect score in?"

"Check it out for yourselves!" Lu Huai threw the paper forward in frustration and slumped on the table...
