Chapter 97: Chapter 97

The internal network of the school is active in all classrooms, with real-time updates, and Yao Xiaoshan is still the head director of the senior grades. Even though it’s very late, there are still night owls secretly lurking online.

Many teachers saw this update immediately when it popped up.

They thought Yao Xiaoshan was updating the monthly exam results, but upon clicking in, they discovered —

Admission exam scores?

The teachers were collectively confused.

Some reacted quickly upon realizing whose scores they were.

He left a comment below the update.

[Are these the entrance exam scores of that new senior student? Why are they coming out now? They scored... quite well, oh, except for not taking the Chinese exam.]

Teacher Liu happened to refresh the update and saw this sentence: "..."

Heh.

...

Zhou Zhongming’s mood hasn’t been good these past few days.

Although the top scorer in this month’s exam is still in his class, the existence of Rong Zhi makes him feel an obvious threat. The strength shown by Rong Zhi makes him feel a slight regret deep inside.

He regrets rejecting Yao Xiaoshan’s request back then.

If Rong Zhi were in their class, wouldn’t Class One’s scores have skyrocketed?

Zhou Zhongming’s expression tensed, and he immediately suppressed this thought.

No, even if Rong Zhi scores well, what does it matter? Character is placed right there, if not, then it’s just not.

As long as he takes care of Rong Meng, that’s enough. With Rong Meng’s results alone, the position of excellent class teacher and promotion director next year will surely fall into his hands.

Thinking this through, Zhou Zhongming’s mood improved, and he entered the office with a smile.

But....

The teachers in the office looked at him oddly.

Especially his sworn rival in the same office, Yu Nian.

Zhou Zhongming frowned, puzzled.

Yu Nian, arms crossed, sat behind the desk chair and sneered, "Mr. Zhou seems to be in a good mood today."

Zhou Zhongming: "What are you trying to do this time?"

"Am I doing something?" Yu Nian snickered, "Not really, I’m not up to anything, just wanting Mr. Zhou to give us justice and apologize to our classmate Rong Zhi!"

Zhou Zhongming’s brow twitched, "An apology for what? If it’s about what happened before, the principal already made a decision, you’re trying to..."

"Hasn’t Mr. Zhou seen Director Yao’s latest update on the entrance scores?" Yu Nian said, "Since that time, Mr. Zhou has been nitpicking against Rong Zhi over scores, as a teacher, even I feel ashamed for you!"

"Now that Rong Zhi’s scores are out, full marks in all subjects except Chinese, what do you have to say?"

Yu Nian coldly laughed and thumped the desk, "Rong Zhi made a very good point, character can’t be judged by scores alone. If it could, then with her current scores, wouldn’t your previous words be quite contradictory, Mr. Zhou."

Other teachers chimed in, "Yes, let’s not mention that Rong Zhi has been well-behaved since enrolling a month ago, the biggest issue he caused was... uh, just that one thing, he really is a good student."

The more biased they were against Rong Zhi before, the more they’re embarrassed now.

A student with good looks, a good family background, and good grades; such a top student would be a hot commodity in any school.

They almost refused such a student because of that absurd academic record, many teachers familiar with the situation felt ashamed.

Zhou Zhongming shook his head fiercely, "Rong Zhi is not! His studies..."

He stopped.

The usual excuses he used to preach are gone, Zhou Zhongming was stuck, not knowing what to say next.

Yu Nian’s pounding on the desk was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhou Zhongming’s mind again, the thought that emerged before he entered the office resurfaced. At this moment, he truly felt regret.

Regret for saying those words; regret for rejecting Rong Zhi.

He bit his tongue hard to force himself to stay awake and fled the office as if escaping.

...

Capital International Airport, VIP channel.

A tall and slender figure stepped out from inside.

Blond hair, black eyes, with the deep and defined features of an O Country native.

He was pulling a 28-inch suitcase and only wearing a shirt in Beijing’s November temperatures, making people around him feel cold for him.

Ying Yunlin circled around the hall, not finding the person he was looking for, so he took out his phone from his pocket.

He made the call, and soon it was connected.

"Where are you? Brother is off the plane."

The other side was silent for a moment before a slightly hoarse and indifferent voice came through, "Turn around."

Ying Yunlin turned immediately, his sharp eyes spotting the boy with a clean and wild flair standing at the exit amidst the crowd due to his height advantage.

The boy waved the phone in his hand towards him.

Ying Yunlin smiled and dragged his suitcase, quickly jogging toward her.

"Yo, haven’t seen our Little Ying God for half a year and now have you gotten taller?" He teased.

Rong Zhi glanced at him, turned around, and walked ahead to lead the way, "Yeah, where are you staying?"

"Wherever you’re staying, I’m staying."

Rong Zhi: "I don’t have that many rooms."

"Alright," Ying Yunlin scratched his head, "then you can just book me a room, nearby your place would be best."

He hasn’t been to Hua Country many times, unfamiliar with these surroundings, Rong Zhi wasn’t at ease letting him stay too far, so she booked him a room in a five-star hotel near Huqing District.

After arranging his accommodation, Rong Zhi took him for a meal.

On the way, Ying Yunlin asked about her recent condition, "Is your leg better? Ethan over there always asks me when you’ll return to the team, I’ve turned him down for you."

"Just an old injury, it’ll heal." Rong Zhi rotated the steering wheel with one hand, choosing a Sichuan hotpot restaurant per Ying Yunlin’s taste, "As for going back, we’ll see next year."

Ying Yunlin: "Sigh... not to mention Ethan, I was almost scared to death by you back then; daring to drive like that in the F1 race with a relapse, weren’t you afraid of risking your life?"

In February, during the world-class F1 Formula One race held in O Country, Rong Zhi competed representing ATS Team. At that time, Ying Yunlin was undergoing an annual inspection. The hopes of ATS Team winning were entirely on her, and luckily Rong Zhi did not disappoint by bringing back the trophy.

But after the race, the ATS team members discovered their vice-captain had relapsed with the most severe leg injury she bore quietly, not mentioning a word but completing the entire race, bringing glory to ATS with the most remarkable scores.

The team manager Ethan was extremely heartbroken, immediately excusing her from the world competitions, little Ying God started to recuperate.

However, Ying Yunlin knew the race originally required three more days to complete, but Rong Zhiyuan back home had fallen ill causing her to negotiate with the race committee alter the rules, ATS Team took on five teams and condensed the race into a single day.

"How’s your brother? Is he better?" Ying Yunlin recalled this and asked.

Rong Zhi replied with a hmm, "He’s better, I’ll introduce him to you someday."

Ying Yunlin: "Alright."

The Sichuan hotpot restaurant was in the city center, both of them had such distinctive appearances that made them recognizable even in a sea of people, so before getting off, Rong Zhi tossed Ying Yunlin a mask.

Ying Yunlin clicked his tongue, "The quality of this mask is mediocre, I’m gonna buy you a better one later."

A despise from the perfectionist.

Rong Zhi was speechless.

Once at the restaurant, the waiter led them to their reserved spot. Ying Yunlin pulled off his mask and looked at the teenager engrossed in his phone, "Holding your phone since getting down, who are you texting?"
