Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 87 Are you controlling the score?

Mei Lili saw Xue Rui lying on the window, glared at him unhappily, and threatened him with her eyes not to come in.

Xue Rui shook his head. He didn't want to offend everyone at this time, so he simply went back to the classroom and sat down.

After yawning for a whole class, I finally made it to the end of the get out of class.

"Today's homework is the exercises at the back."

Xue Xiaying assigned homework to the students and left the classroom with the lesson plan.

Xue Rui stretched lazily, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Gu Muxue walking past the back door of Class 2 with a dull look in her eyes.

"Muxue, why are you in a daze?" Xue Rui stood up and stopped Gu Muxue.

"Xiao Rui, I'm busy writing music recently, so I'll go back first." Gu Muxue said quickly.

"Xiao Rui?" Xue Rui was a little surprised.

Gu Muxue finally reacted and she called Xue Rui by his nickname.

She thought it must be because of her mother who had been whispering "Yaoyao, Xiaorui" in her ear recently.

"What? I can't shout?" Gu Muxue frowned and pretended to be angry.

A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she was afraid that Xue Rui would be dissatisfied with this title.

"Oh, you can shout." Xue Rui didn't mind.

However, he had never heard outsiders call him by this name, usually only the elders called him that.

"I go first."

The corners of Gu Muxue's mouth curled up inadvertently. "Xiao Rui" sounded much more intimate than Xue Rui's full name.

"Are all artists so crazy?" Xue Rui muttered to himself.

She just whistled a little that day, but it led to such a thing.

It was already afternoon activity time. Usually at this time, he and Lin Ruoxi would have left the school to avoid Chen Tingting's harassment.

"Lin Ruoxi, wake up."

Xue Rui shook Lin Ruoxi's head.

"Um...what's wrong?" Lin Ruoxi rubbed her eyes.

"If you continue to sleep, what will happen to your academic performance?" Xue Rui said seriously.

He had studied hard before and knew that if he didn't learn enough science, it would be difficult to keep up with the rest.

Lin Ruoxi has been sleeping for a week.

"It's okay..." Lin Ruoxi said in a daze.

Xue Rui was just about to talk to Lin Ruoxi about some profound truths when he discovered Xue Xiaying waving at him from the back door of the classroom.

Xue Rui looked confused. He hadn't done anything wrong recently, so why did his aunt want to see him?
The two walked to the end of the corridor. Because the teacher was there, the other students didn't want to come over, as if they had formed an invisible wall.

"Tell me what you did."

Xue Xiaying looked at Xue Rui coldly without saying a word.

Xue Rui reacted instantly and realized that Xue Xiaying was bluffing him.

If it were a student with poor psychological quality, facing such a look from the head teacher, he would probably have confessed everything he had done recently.

However, this trick didn't work on Xue Rui. He stared at Xue Xiaying for a while.

"Aunt, what can I do?" Xue Rui said innocently.

After a long time, Xue Xiaying patted Xue Rui on the shoulder and said, "You did a great job."

She noticed the recent changes in Lin Ruoxi. She dared to show her face openly and communicated more with her classmates.

As for the day school business, she pretended not to see it.

"Why does Lin Ruoxi look so listless lately?" Xue Xiaying asked.

"I don't know about that." Xue Rui shook his head.

Xue Xiaying frowned: "It's better if it has nothing to do with you."

"..." Xue Rui didn't want to explain anything.

You can't say that Lin Ruoxi is addicted to the Internet, right?
If you think about it, it does have something to do with him.

"I asked you to come out mainly because I want you to persuade Lin Ruoxi. I want her to participate in training and apply for next year's Mathematical Olympiad." Xue Xiaying said earnestly.

"Lin Ruoxi?" Xue Rui was a little surprised.

"Aunt, is Lin Ruoxi good at math? Can't we find any other candidate in our class?" Xue Rui asked.

Xue Rui guessed that Xue Xiaying might want to add an achievement to her career resume.

Is it because he needed something from Lin Ruoxi that he gave Lin Ruoxi "special care"?
But he had seen Lin Ruoxi's grades, and her scores in every subject were very average.

There is no subject that I am particularly good at, but of course I have no weaknesses either, so I ranked second overall.

Gu Muxue scored high in English and Chinese, and ranked first in the overall score.

To be precise, neither Lin Ruoxi nor Gu Muxue are potential contestants.

Below these two, there are also talented people with a score of 60 in Chinese and full marks in mathematics. They are the competition students.

"She is in control of the points." Xue Xiaying said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Xue Rui had a question mark on his face.

"I looked at her papers from last year, and she couldn't solve the last question every time."

"But I caught a clue. She listed one question and crossed it out herself, and she used differential calculus..."

Xue Xiaying wanted to continue talking, but she thought that with Xue Rui's level, he would probably not understand.

"In short, her true level is far more than what is shown on her transcript."

"Advanced mathematics?" Xue Rui muttered.

"You know? Then I won't explain any more. You should persuade her more. This is for her own good."

Xue Xiaying looked at Xue Rui in surprise.

She felt that her eldest nephew was really studying hard.

Xue Rui was amazed. Lin Ruoxi had already learned advanced mathematics? No wonder Lin Ruoxi said "it's okay" just now.

But what channels could Lin Ruoxi use to learn? He guessed that it was nothing more than self-study.

You can learn it by self-study, a math genius?
If this is the case, there is nothing unusual about Xue Xiaying's performance. In front of a genius, principles can be broken at any time.

Because with Lin Ruoxi's level, there is no need to take math classes...

"I heard from the class teacher that you were controlling your scores in the exam?" Xue Rui said as he sat next to Lin Ruoxi.

There was a flash of panic in Lin Ruoxi's eyes. She secretly glanced at Xue Rui, who was staring at her.

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi nodded.

Lin Ruoxi didn't know how to lie, so when faced with Xue Rui's questioning, she simply admitted it.

Why? How was it discovered?

Lin Ruoxi didn't expect that Xue Xiaying would analyze her test paper word by word.

Xue Rui held his chin up and lost in reminiscence. Almost all the award certificates he saw at Lin Ruoxi's house were for "second place".

Xue Rui knew the reason. It was simply that if he got first place, he would be stared at by everyone.

Although there is only one place between the first and the second, the honors they receive are completely different.

Given Lin Ruoxi's personality, taking second place would be the safest option, as she would get the scholarship and not attract too many eyes.

"You...you make me feel uncomfortable." Xue Rui said, covering his face.

He worked very hard in his previous life, but his best ranking seemed to be in the top 30 in his grade.

However, Lin Ruoxi was ranked second in the grade by controlling the scores.

The huge gap between people made Xue Rui feel desperate.

"Yes...I'm sorry." Lin Ruoxi apologized subconsciously.

But right after she apologized, Lin Ruoxi became even more panicked. Every time she apologized, she would be scolded by Xue Rui.

Thinking about being bullied by Xue Rui again, tears welled up in her eyes.

At this time, Guo Qingqing stood on the podium, patted the podium and shouted:
"It's our class' turn to repair the tables and chairs this afternoon. If anyone has problems with their tables and chairs, please move them to the back of the cafeteria for repair."

Xue Rui reached out and shook Lin Ruoxi's desk, almost shaking the books on the desk off.

He frowned. He hadn't used any force just now, but the table was shaking too much. He looked down and saw that a screw had fallen off Lin Ruoxi's table, and the joints were so old that they were in a mess.

There was also Lin Ruoxi's chair, which was obviously uneven, and there was a piece missing on one corner.

"So shabby?" Xue Rui muttered. His own desk and chairs were very new.

Due to insufficient funds, Hedong No. 2 Middle School repairs desks and chairs whenever possible, and only replaces them when they are truly impossible to repair.

As for the issue of choosing a table, there is also a certain amount of "intrigue".

When school starts, students who arrive early will often choose a set of newer desks and chairs for themselves, while those who arrive late can only choose worse ones.

However, there are some clever students who choose to secretly exchange their desks and chairs with others when no one is in the classroom.

The target of the attack also has its own considerations.

They often choose students who are shy and introverted, because such people will keep it to themselves when they suffer a loss and will not shout about it.

As for whether Lin Ruoxi's table and chairs were replaced by someone, Xue Rui had no idea.

Because even if Lin Ruoxi has a choice, she will choose the worst one.

"Come on, I'll help you move."

As Xue Rui spoke, he moved the books on the table away, picked up the table with one hand and walked out.

Lin Ruoxi lowered her head, carrying a stool and followed Xue Rui.

Xue Rui looked back and saw that Lin Ruoxi's eyes were red. He thought to himself, what a girl! She was so moved that she almost cried just because she was moving something.

This kind of girl is too easy to deceive, you must not let her be abducted away by others.

……

The two followed the main group to the back of the cafeteria.

Behind the canteen is a semi-open factory building with all kinds of maintenance tools. Electric sparks flash from time to time, hurting people's eyes.

Students line up here and chat and laugh with their classmates around them.

Xue Rui looked at Lin Ruoxi's chair and found that a corner was missing. He simply picked up the chair and asked the repairman to fix it.

"Master, can we replace it with a new one if it's so broken?" Xue Rui asked.

Xue Rui felt that there was no need to repair this chair with a missing corner, and even if it was repaired it would still be uncomfortable to sit on.

"The new ones are all in the warehouse. I can't give them to you without Director Li's note. Go find your class teacher."

The logistics master held the wrench and said without turning his head. He didn't even look at the chair Xue Rui brought.

The logistics master who passed by looked at the chair in Xue Rui's hand and said with a smile:

"I'll find you a nice old chair later."

Xue Rui was speechless. Change to an old one?
"No need, where is Director Li's office?" Xue Rui asked.

"The one at the back, 107 is Director Li's office. He should not be off work yet." The logistics master said with a smile.

Things like tables and chairs are naturally under the jurisdiction of the logistics department, and Li Jianfeng is the director of the logistics department.

Xue Rui had some impression of Li Jianfeng. Last time, because of Qiu Mengze's matter, he even gave him a few packs of cigarettes.

"There are always people who want to replace it with a new one. It's not like it can't be used after some repairs."

"Is Director Li so easy to talk to? Last time, a teacher in the senior year had a quarrel with Director Li and still couldn't get his job."

"Didn't he finally come to us to exchange for some old ones and leave?"

The two maintenance masters murmured a few words. They didn't think anyone could get Director Li's note.

Xue Rui heard the conversation between the two and thought that this was normal.

It's not Li Jianfeng's personal problem, but anyone in that position would do the same.
