Chapter 36: What Does Kissing Feel Like?

Before Old Lady Xue could finish speaking, Ye Li had already stood up agitatedly. Xue Sheng was looking over her shoulder to see the screen, and the two accidentally b.u.mped into each other.

“Sss…” Xue Sheng’s chin hurt.

Ye Li turned to him in a hurry. “Are you alright?”

Old Lady Xue harrumphed. “Look at yourself. You have no proper etiquette. Why? Did she score too poorly?”

In the next instant, Ye Li shouted, “288! My Xixi is truly too smart!”

Xue Sheng was also stunned. “What?”

Old Lady Xue was surprised. “How can it be that high? You must have seen wrongly!”

Xue Sheng took the iPad to look for himself and was also astonished. “It really is 288 marks!”

The old lady frowned. She took a step forward, still distrusting them. When she saw the marks displayed, her jaw tensed up. “How can it be… This should be impossible…”

…

At school, the forum opinions had taken a one-eighty.

Daddy, please receive my knees!

Curve wrecker image established! I have knelt!

During the past few days, I have witnessed Xue ‘Study G.o.d’ Xi putting people in their places.

Study G.o.d, do you still need a thigh accessory?

…

Amid the praises, a differing voice appeared.

Unreachable: “Who knows if this result is real? Even a broken clock is right twice a day.”

Alas, Xue Xi had repeatedly used her results to win over the crowd. Hence, the moment this comment was out, it was instantly responded to with ire. After five minutes, the comment was silently removed by the original poster.

“This ‘Unreachable’ always makes a sour post every day. This person just loves to suck up to Xue Yao and Fan Han. I wonder who this account belongs to? Totally disgusting!”

During the short break between cla.s.ses, “Little Talkative” Qin Shuang displayed her gossiping prowess. “Sister Xi, let me tell you a gossip. Did you know? Someone from Second Cla.s.s and another from Third Cla.s.s were caught at the school’s field yesterday! Apparently, the two of them were hiding in a corner and kissing, so their parents were called today. What do you think happened in the end?”

Xue Xi, who had been very calm ever since finding out about her results, was currently packing her books to go to the Physics Olympiad cla.s.s. When she heard this, she cooperatively asked, “…What?”

“The parents of both sides met and realized that they are actually business partners. Hence, they immediately decided to let the two children get engaged! Ha ha ha! Sister Xi, what do you think?”

Xue Xi paused for a moment. “…Getting into a relations.h.i.+p early is not good.”

Qin Shuang: “…”

Xue Xi stood up and pa.s.sed through the crooked corridor. Just as she was about to walk out, she suddenly stopped in front of Qin Shuang and asked solemnly with her expressionless face and misty eyes, “What does kissing feel like?”

Qin Shuang was instantly stunned. “Ah? This… I have never kissed, so I don’t know!”

“Oh,” Xue Xi replied, then walked toward the cla.s.sroom near the staircase.

She entered the Physics Olympiad cla.s.s and had just found a seat when someone nearby scooted over. “Xue Xi, did you really score 288 marks?”

Xue Xi nodded.

That person extended a hand. “Study G.o.d, may I shake hands with you? Please let me get some luck for today’s Physics mini-test!”

Xue Xi slowly turned to look at the other party and raised her hand, and the person quickly shook her hand and released it.

Xue Yao walked in and coincidentally witnessed the scene. She balled up her fists in ire. She sat directly in front of her and smiled, saying, “Cousin, did you know? Bin City University just gave Fan Han a call, saying that if he wants to be admitted to their school, he can enjoy a lower cut-off of twenty marks. Did they offer that to you?”

Xue Xi peered at her. “…No.”

The other instantly raised her chin. “It’s likely because you didn’t take part in the Mathematical Olympiad in Junior Year and so the admissions office doesn’t have much impression of you. They don’t actually place much importance on someone who scores well only once.”

Xue Xi: “…”

“Cousin, why are you still doing Mathematical Olympiad questions? There is a Physics Olympiad mini-test today. Are you sure you can do it?”

It was already good enough for Xue Xi to reply to her once. Now, she could not even be bothered about her and lowered her head, continuing to do her Mathematical Olympiad questions. Old Liu had called up her paper from the system today and realized that the 12 marks deducted were all working marks. The things she learned by herself were unstructured and, hence, she had left out two equations that could have scored her points. Old Liu had said that she had to do more questions to solve this tough problem!

Xue Yao found it boring when she got ignored. At this moment, the Physics teacher, Ms. Sun, walked in with a few sets of paper in hand. “Xue Xi has made our school proud in the Math Star Compet.i.tion, so the Physics department will have to work hard too. Teacher is still expecting someone among you guys to get a prize!”

In the International School, other than the two experimental cla.s.ses, the majority of the population had plans to study overseas. Hence, little importance was placed on academic compet.i.tions.

In Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry compet.i.tions, they were always ranked below First High and Third High. However, with the dark horse-win this year, Old Liu was given huge praise by the headmaster. Even his steps had become light.

Ms. Sun looked at Xue Xi with a little dejection. No matter how amazing a student is, they have limited attention and energy. Xue Xi has been learning mathematics continuously for the past half a month.

She distributed the papers as she thought this.

The test lasted one and a half hours. Ms. Sun then collected the papers. As there were only seven sets, she marked it on the spot and left the remaining time for the students to study on their own and come up to ask if they have any questions.

Ten minutes pa.s.sed by in silence and Ms. Sun was done marking the papers.

“Teacher, how many marks did I score?”

Xue Yao could not wait.

Ms. Sun answered, “158. That’s quite amazing already!”

The total score for the Physics Olympiad was 200. Hence, this score was actually pretty good already.

Xue Yao had always been the top five in the level’s ranking. She was very confident in herself. Hence, she peered at Xue Xi and asked, “What about Xue Xi?”

She was certain that she was stronger in Physics than Xue Xi. That was because the latter was always doing Mathematical Olympiad questions and only did Physics questions when in cla.s.s. This att.i.tude cemented her demise.

Meanwhile, as long as she scored better than she did, the latter’s good mathematics grades would not matter.

Each person had their own strengths, and she would defeat her in the areas she was strong in!

These thoughts flashed by her mind. She then saw Ms. Sun’s complicated expression. The teacher then slowly said, a little in disbelief, “Full marks.”

Xue Yao widened her eyes.

H-How is this possible?!

…

When Xue Xi and Xue Yao returned home, the sky was already dark.

It was almost the end of summer. Hence, there was a teeny bit of coolness amid the humidity.

The moment they entered the house, Xue Yao made a beeline for the stairs and shut herself in her room.

Xue Xi totally ignored her and returned to her own room to study.

Downstairs, Old Master Xue had just returned home from work. After he heard about the Math Star Compet.i.tion, his eyes lit up as he turned to ask Xue Sheng, “Have you investigated Xue Xi’s boyfriend outside?”

Xue Sheng shook his head.

The old patriarch fell in deep thought momentarily. “There has been news from Elder Gao’s side that guests can bring their children to his birthday celebration. Everyone is speculating that he is intending to help that Lu Chao choose a wife. I had originally not expected much for our family, but since Xue Xi is this outstanding, it is a waste to not take advantage of that. Go tell her to break it off with that pretty boy outside and try on this side.”

Coincidentally, in the provision store, Lu Chao suddenly sneezed and felt a chill on his spine.
