Chapter 42: Announcement of Results

  Shui Mengyao's heart skipped a beat, she turned around and stared at Guo Ming steadily, puckered her lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately couldn't say it out loud, perhaps he didn't know what to say either.

  Guo Ming said in a low voice: "Meng Yao, be careful when walking home alone after school at night from now on."

  Shui Mengyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a look of surprise burst out in her eyes. She nodded and said, "I know, but I didn't have any classmates along the way." Guo Ming's gentle inquiry made the resentment she had towards him disappear without a trace.

  Guo Ming wasn't a fool, so he naturally understood the other person's meaning. However, he simply didn't have enough time to attend classes, and the other person's hint was destined to be ignored by Guo Ming. He nodded and said, "Then you shouldn't stay out too late in the future, it's getting late, I'm going back." After finishing speaking, Guo Ming turned around and left, leaving behind a stunned Shui Mengyao.

  Sun Hong quietly watched Shui Mengyao on the second floor, softly sighing, perhaps Mengyao's liking for Guo Ming was a mistake from the start. Sun Hong had a feeling that Guo Ming would one day surpass all the young masters of wealthy families and stand at the pinnacle of the world; such a person would never lack a red beauty by his side. Shui Mengyao, with her gentle and weak personality, didn't suit Guo Ming.

  Emotions can't be suppressed, the experience of elders is useless, when love arrives who can truly remain unmoved, can iron and blood turn into tender fingers, let alone weak and fragile Water Dream Jade?

  Shui Meng Yao stared blankly at Guo Ming's departing figure, twitched her delicate nose, and smiled faintly in her eyes, saying softly: "Guo Ming, I didn't expect you to put on airs with me too. Alright, I won't believe that you truly completely ignore me. Hehe, I'll make you take the initiative to come find me."

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo was completely unlike Sūn Hóng's imagined decadent and sorrowful self, on the contrary, her whole body was even more full of vital energy.

  Classroom.

  The entire classroom was silent, with everyone's heart racing and anxiously looking towards the door, where their teacher still hadn't appeared. They had never looked forward to seeing their teacher before, previously they would have avoided him if possible, but now they were filled with anticipation.

  But after waiting for a long time, Teacher Li still did not show up.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo sat in the corner, her eyes calm and peaceful. Unlike others who were excited, she didn't seem to be affected by the commotion. Her class's first-place ranking was unshakeable, and this was her confidence. Looking at the empty seat beside her, she muttered: "Guo Ming, I don't believe you can remain so calm on such an important day."

  As soon as the words fell, Shui Mengyao's eyes lit up in front of her, and a victorious smile appeared on her face. Guo Ming's figure appeared at the classroom door. Guo Ming had a slightly bitter heart, he was not prepared to come today, his heart demon would not be eliminated for a day, it was his heart disease. Especially on the day when the results were announced, this atmosphere made him extremely disgusted.

  It's not about where Xia Kenyi is, but today is the graduation exam. Generally speaking, based on the scores of this exam, it can be judged whether one month later will be admitted to a key university, which shows its importance. As for the quota of students sent by Yizhong, Xia has never thought about it, she only cares about whether Shuimengyao has this quota. Although 99% of Shuimengyao may go to high school, there is also an unexpected situation, right?

  Under his mother's threat, Guo Ming had no choice but to come forward himself.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's mouth curved into a perfect arc as she said softly, "I originally thought that you, this great master, would be able to transcend everything and not come?"

  "What's wrong? Guo Ming smiled wryly upon hearing this, but how are you still by my side?"

  "After this, it will be my throne, what, don't welcome? Shui Mengyao smiled and said."

  "Suit yourself, you can sit if you want to. Anyway, I'm not attending classes here. Guo Ming didn't argue with Shui Mengyao and said in a low voice, 'The teacher is coming.'"

  Shui Mengyao listened quietly for a moment, the corridor was quiet, where there were teachers' footsteps, just about to question Guo Ming when the class teacher Li walked in with a smile.

  Everyone's heart was lifted, and they all looked at Teacher Li with tension. For them, today was equivalent to pronouncing their future fate. The high school entrance examination is an important turning point in life. If they can enter the First Middle School for study, it means that one foot has already stepped into the university campus.

  So for this matter, no one can truly be calm about it, except for a few people.

  Mr. Li looked around the classroom, all his classmates were present, even Guo Ming who often played truant was there too. His eyes stopped on Guo Ming for a moment before he said: "Classmates, I suppose you've been waiting for a long time? Hmm, the results are out."

  The whole class suddenly became tense, and their breathing was no longer smooth.

  Mr. Li also stopped selling Guanzi, took out the transcript, shook it, and said: "I won't say much more, I know what you're concerned about, now I'll start reading the grades."

  "First place, Shui Mengyao with 703 points. Teacher Li looked at Shui Mengyao with approval, this student was indeed very impressive, her grades had always been top-notch, and this time's exam paper was so difficult, yet she still managed to score over 700 points, it was truly rare."

  Shui Mengyao didn't relax, continuing to stare at Teacher Li. She was delighted with such results, but what she cared about most was her ranking in school.

  Mr. Li smiled slightly and said: "I know what you're worried about, this time Meng Yao, you performed exceptionally well, first in the whole school."

  The whole class took a deep breath, the first in school, well-behaved, Shui Mengyao finally returned to the top of the throne after four months. With envy, admiration, or heartache, various expressions looked at the heavenly darling. Shui Mengyao was also slightly surprised, and then recovered calmly, glancing at Guo Ming, but unexpectedly, he didn't even lift an eyebrow.

  Shui Mengyao felt a little displeased in her heart. Her most outstanding aspect was her grades, but unexpectedly, she didn't receive Guo Ming's approval. Instead, he showed an indifferent attitude. Did he really not have any feelings for her? Or had she been unilaterally infatuated all along?

  "According to school regulations, Mengyao, there is one quota for recommended students from our school, and of course, whether or not to use it will be completely respected by the school, said Li teacher with a smile."

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo nodded, but in fact most students understood that Shuǐ Mèng Yáo would not use this quota. If she used this quota, she would have to give up the college entrance exam a month later and lose the opportunity to make a name for herself. The title of champion in the college entrance exam was more dazzling than any other honor. Shuǐ Mèng Yáo, the spoiled daughter of heaven, would not be limited to just this school; she wanted to compete with all the students in the county.

  "Second place..." Mr. Li continued reading.

  Mr. Li's clear Mandarin voice rang out in the classroom, and almost everyone reflexively looked at Tang Feng and Zhang Kai. Zhang Kai had scored 680 points last time, ranking second in the class, while Tang Feng had scored 679 points, ranking third in the class. More importantly, Zhang Kai performed poorly this time, while Tang Feng boasted everywhere about how well he did, and anyone with discerning eyes could see that Tang Feng was trying to humiliate Guo Ming.
