Chapter 160: 158 genius Tian Ye was shocked!

The air was still for a moment.

The female teacher from another subject seated on the podium glanced at the teacher who came to notify her at the door and then at Teacher Zhao standing below the podium.

Her expression was somewhat intriguing.

"Ah? That..." Zhao Yuhuan was stunned for a full ten seconds before she walked over to the teacher at the door.

Could it be that Xia Ye was right?

"Which problem did you say was missing information?" Zhao Yuhuan pretended to confirm as she took the graded papers from the teacher at the door.

When she saw the problem and realized, just as Xia Ye had said, that the third fill-in-the-blank question was missing an important piece of information, her face went red and then pale, stinging with the heat of embarrassment.

As Zhao Yuhuan went to the blackboard to write down the additional condition, the classroom started to stir.

"So Xia Ye was right after all..."

"Teacher Zhao is so embarrassed, she didn’t believe it at first, and now she’s been called out on the spot."

"Her complexion looks so bad, she won’t get mad out of embarrassment, will she..."

These words, like a series of invisible slaps, landed on Zhao Yuhuan’s face.

In just the time it took to write a few words on the blackboard, her face had swollen to the color of liver.

After finishing writing the conditions, she raised her hand to knock on the blackboard, didn’t say much else, carried her cup as if going out to get water, but really just wanted to ease the awkwardness.

The students copied the condition onto their papers while muttering to each other.

"How did Xia Ye know that the third fill-in-the-blank question was missing information? She solves problems so quickly!"

"Solving them quickly doesn’t necessarily mean solving them correctly..."

"Still, it’s amazing—I envy those who can solve problems quickly!"

These comments were mostly from students in the honors class.

Meanwhile, a cute and brainless girl from an ordinary class, who habitually started with the fill-in-the-blank questions on every test, was now looking at her answer for the third question, which she had filled in smoothly: "..."

Missing a piece of information?

Then how did I figure it out...

The teacher sitting on the podium tapped the desk: "Quiet, quiet, you’ve already wasted a minute, hurry up and solve the problems!"

Hearing this, the students quickly bowed their heads to work, returning swiftly to the tense atmosphere of the examination.

This math test was comparatively easy, and although it was scheduled for two and a half hours, Tian Ye had finished in just an hour and a half.

He was always meticulous in solving problems, so he didn’t feel much pressure to check his work.

He couldn’t help but steal glances toward Xia Ye.

He had just finished the eighth multiple-choice question when Xia Ye had already moved on to the fill-in-the-blank section.

It didn’t look like she was recklessly guessing.

If she were, she wouldn’t have known there was a problem missing information...

Tian Ye felt a mix of emotions, and as he glanced in that direction, a test paper floated down.

Xia Ye, who was slowly shading the answer sheet, had knocked down her completed math paper, which had been resting beneath her elbow.

It happened to drift down near Tian Ye.

The proctors all knew him as the student who ranked first in the grade, so it was unthinkable that he would cheat off a student who was last in the grade.

So, it was perfectly normal for him to pick up the paper for her, without causing any misunderstandings.

The teacher on the podium only glanced over before continuing with their work.

Tian Ye bent down, picked up the paper, and took the opportunity to scan the checkmarks Xia Ye had made on her multiple-choice questions.

He was still very curious about how accurate Xia Ye was, seeing how fast she worked...

Two seconds later, Tian Ye, who had scanned all of Xia Ye’s multiple-choice answers, was stunned—

She had managed to avoid every single correct answer?!

The homeroom teacher had initially been worried she might copy his answers, but now...

You didn’t see a single question?!

When Xia Ye pulled the paper out of his hands, she looked quite stingy, as if to say, "Why should you peek at the paper I worked so hard on!"

Tian Ye fell silent: ...

This girl really seems a bit silly.

After agonizing for a while, he glanced up at their homeroom teacher.

Because of the incident from before, Zhao Yuhuan was deliberately avoiding looking in Xia Ye’s direction.

Seizing the opportunity, Tian Ye consciously stretched his paper with the multiple-choice answers toward Xia Ye...

It was his first time doing something like this, and he was pretty nervous.

Having no experience, he didn’t know how close to stretch it for Xia Ye to see clearly.

But who would have thought, after all his effort, Xia Ye didn’t even glance at it, and in the end she turned her head in the opposite direction and covered her paper tightly in front of her...

When the final exam bell rang and students started passing their papers forward to the teacher, Tian Ye saw that the answers Xia Ye marked on the answer sheet were still the same as before, all wrong.

Once the papers were collected, Zhao Yuhuan made a point of looking at Tian Ye’s paper with a very satisfied expression on her face.

The papers from each row of students were stacked neatly, corners aligned, and then the section with student numbers was wrapped with kraft paper and bound.

After the invigilator left, the students started whispering and discussing the answers to the recent exam.

Tian Ye never compared answers with others. He simply took out his meal card from his backpack and, as he was passing by Xia Ye’s desk, he paused.

He seemed to want to say something to Xia Ye, but in the end, he didn’t speak up and headed toward the cafeteria.

Xia Ye had also arranged to have lunch with Tang Tianjiao and Zhou Yao; the three of them were in different exam rooms.

Upon seeing the other two, Tang Tianjiao seemed especially excited.

This time in the exam, sitting next to her was none other than Jiang Yunzhou from Class One.

Right after the exam, Jiang Yunzhou asked her about Xia Ye’s usual situation in class, without any airs, unlike the top-class students.

His carefree demeanor actually fit in quite well with their Class Nineteen.

Tang Tianjiao probably told him about how popular Xia Ye was in Class Nineteen and took the opportunity to compare answers using his draft paper.

The draft paper of a good student is almost like a replica of the answer sheet, with every question marked and laid out in a clear and straightforward manner.

After checking the answers, Tang Tianjiao was stunned.

She roughly calculated, and although she didn’t hit full marks, it seemed she could score around one hundred and ten or twenty!

This was unprecedented!

She’d never even hit a hundred before!

Xia Ye was happy for her: "Tell your grandpa when you get back, he’ll be really pleased."

This time, Tang Tianjiao was rather low-key: "No rush, no rush, the papers haven’t been returned yet, I can’t get too excited prematurely. What if I miscalculated?"

Xia Ye then looked toward Zhou Yao: "How about you? How did you do this time?"

Zhou Yao was also quite excited, but she was more conservative: "That... I don’t dare to say now, but I think it should be better than last time..."

Xia Ye nodded with composure and understood.

It’s just like the "toppers" in elementary school.

She must have done well.

Xia Ye: "I’ll treat you two to lunch~"

Zhou Yao jumped up happily.

She knew she was careless with her work, so she had been practicing deliberately to improve in that area.

Today after the exam, she took the time specifically to recheck everything.

Later, when she compared answers with former classmates from the same exam room, it seemed there were two or three questions they didn’t agree on.

And those two or three questions, she even felt that...

It was the other student who answered them incorrectly...
