Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots (5)_1

The two of them playing off each other like that made it plain to see they were mocking Qi Weixin. The other students who had been looking at the rankings alongside them felt sick to their stomachs upon hearing their conversation. At this point, they couldn’t help but laugh out loud, their laughter getting louder and louder.

Qi Weixin’s face turned both green and white, she was practically about to explode with anger.

Her eyes glaring at Ruan Lei and Lu Zishu, she wished she could bore holes into them with her gaze.

Little Fatty imitated her shy behavior, twisting his plump body with a bashful look, "Oh my, don’t look at me like that, it makes me so scared." After saying that, amidst Qi Weixin’s frantic shrieks, he ran off with Lu Zishu, both of them bursting into laughter.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi were not the type to join in on such commotion. With the time it took to engage in it, Xiu Xi would rather spend reading a book, whereas Ruan Jiaojiao preferred to drink more milk. Given the hot weather, milk went bad easily, so she usually finished it before the third period.

When Ruan Lei and Lu Zishu returned with the news, Ruan Jiaojiao had just finished her milk and was about to casually wipe her mouth with the back of her hand when Xiu Xi stopped her. He steadied her little head and carefully wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

Though Little Fatty had watched these intimate actions for several years, he still found them glaringly annoying each time.

But he dared not speak his anger and could only hold it in, as he took a seat in front of Ruan Jiaojiao’s desk.

"Hey, congratulations, you and my desk-mate are tied for first place. It looks like the two of you will be the ones going to the provincial capital for the math competition," Little Fatty said.

Upon hearing this, Xiu Xi paused, and Ruan Jiaojiao turned to look at Ruan Lei, "Then what place am I in?"

"As for you, you’re tied with your brother for third place!" Little Fatty revealed his big white teeth with a joyous expression.

Even though it was still third place, being tied with his sister made it feel completely different to him.

Ruan Jiaojiao pouted, curious about which question had cost her points.

During math class, the teacher distributed their recent test papers and said they would set aside a period to go over several questions.

The teacher also made a point of praising Qi Weixin. After all, the school had not pinned their hopes on her this time, but rather on Xiu Xi, Ruan Jiaojiao, and Ruan Lei.

Qi Weixin was very happy when she was praised and even sneaked a glance at Ruan Jiaojiao and the others. Ruan Jiaojiao, with her head down, was busy looking at the question she got wrong and did not notice her gaze.

But Xiu Xi seemed to catch her eye unintentionally.

When Qi Weixin met his gaze, which seemed almost penetrating, she felt an inexplicable panic; the next second, feeling guilty, she averted her eyes and straightened her head, not daring to look their way for the rest of the class.

Xiu Xi frowned, his expression turning cold.

Just before class ended, both Xiu Xi and Qi Weixin were called away by the math teacher.

This was for the math competition, and the teacher hoped they could win an award. They took out several sets of Olympiad math problems accumulated over the past few years and handed them over, "These are problems from past years’ math Olympiads. You can make a copy for yourself. There are two months left before the competition, which should be enough time to finish them."

"Okay, thank you, teacher," Qi Weixin immediately expressed her thanks as she took them.

The math teacher smiled amiably and praised her, "Weixin, you did very well this time. Your dad would be so proud if he knew."

Qi Weixin smiled even more happily, sweetly responding, "It’s all because of your excellent teaching, teacher."
