Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 19 It's Too Difficult

Hu Xiaobei didn't take the hostility from the top student Xu Chen seriously at all.

In his opinion, Xu Chen was just a nerd who was stuck in the ignorance of youth and whose emotional intelligence was a little low.

His so-called hostility is nothing more than a temporary emotional fluctuation and there is no need to worry too much about it.

I have more important things to do, so I don't have the time to worry about this.

On the contrary, Lin Yue is more troublesome. Alas... it’s all because of my damn charm!
When getting along with girls, it is like walking on a dangerous road full of thorns. You must always be careful to measure and control the scale.

Hu Xiaobei has his own scale in his heart.

He didn't want to interfere with Lin Yue's future because of himself, and he didn't want his love affairs to become a stumbling block on his way forward.

I, Hu Xiaobei, don’t want to mislead others, and I don’t want to mislead myself.

In this critical period approaching the college entrance examination, any emotional fluctuations may become a dangerous factor affecting the college entrance examination.

He just wanted to maintain stability and did not want any unexpected situations to happen. He just wanted to prepare for the college entrance examination with all his strength and would not allow any interference factors to occur.

After all, women would only affect the speed at which he could draw his sword.

Due to time constraints, not all the test papers for this mock exam were distributed during morning self-study, and only math and English test papers were left on the desks.

Hu Xiaobei looked at the 148 points on his English test paper. An improvement of just one point could hardly stir up even a ripple in his heart.

However, he got 85 points in mathematics this time, which was a great improvement. Hu Xiaobei looked at the accuracy rate of the multiple-choice questions.

If he hadn't used the mantra this time, he would have been happier with this score.

Lin Yue's praise came to my ears at the right time: "Not bad, your math score improved by 15 points!"

Hu Xiaobei glanced to the right and saw a pair of beautiful big eyes blinking constantly, as if reminding him that he had made an indelible contribution.

"Well, thank you for your notebook." Hu Xiaobei responded seriously and concisely.

Although he felt that the progress this time was more due to the mental methods and mantras.

But that didn't stop him from being sincerely grateful and telling lies with a serious face.

Lin Yue smiled, tilted her head slightly and stared for a while, but said nothing. In her heart, she felt that this was a good thing.

"Humph!"

Xu Chen made sounds at the right time, trying to show his presence.

Hu Xiaobei turned around and wanted to see what other insights he had.

He turned his head to the right at 45 degrees, with his chin raised high, like a proud rooster.

Hu Xiaobei: "..."

As the English class passed, the geography class bell rang.

The final liberal arts test papers were also distributed to everyone's desks. At a glance, the bright red words "286 points" were clearly written on the test papers.

Combined with the previous 148 points in English, Hu Xiaobei's total score in the final mock exam reached an unprecedented 666 points.

"Wow... your total score this time is 666 points!" Lin Yue on the side looked at Hu Xiaobei with admiration and exclaimed sincerely.

"Yeah, I put a lot of effort into memorizing the liberal arts exam." Hu Xiaobei looked calm and nodded slightly.

At this moment, a familiar and incredulous voice suddenly came from behind him: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could you have a higher score than me?"

Xu Chen seemed to be frozen, standing there in a daze, his face full of astonishment and confusion, his mind blank.

All his hard work and efforts in the past days and nights seemed to have come to nothing in the face of Hu Xiaobei's dazzling and almost blinding achievements, and were so fragile that they were vulnerable to any attack.

On weekdays, Xu Chen does not seem to be particularly hardworking in front of others, but in fact he works day and night at home.

He poured every ounce of his energy, every ounce of his time, every drop of his sweat into his studies without reservation. Yet, after just one month of hard work, Hu Xiaobei easily surpassed his years of hard work and struggle.

This cruel and cold reality, like a sharp blade, pierced straight into his heart. How could he accept it calmly?

In an instant, all the days and nights of striving for dreams in the past became absurd and ridiculous.

Unconsciously, tears of grievance flowed down his face like a gurgling stream, continuously pouring out of Xu Chen's eyes and flowing freely on his slightly trembling cheeks.

For a moment, Hu Xiaobei, Lin Yue and the surrounding classmates all fell silent.

Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but think secretly that this was probably what the novel described as the broken heart of Taoism.

If nothing unexpected happens, given Xu Chen's situation, he will probably fail the college entrance examination.

Hu Xiaobei doesn't want to mislead others, nor does he want to mislead himself.

But the academic master Xu Chen was truly influenced by him.

Although, since the moment he was reborn, he has been constantly influencing and changing everything in the past.

However, if possible, he hopes that the impact and change will be positive.

Thinking of this, Hu Xiaobei smiled calmly and said to Xu Chen seriously: "I have been working hard all the time, but you just didn't see it, and I didn't show it before."

When Xu Chen heard this, he was like being struck by thunder. His eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief.

The face that was originally filled with grievances froze instantly, his mouth slightly opened, and after a long while, he squeezed out a word: "You..."

His voice trembled slightly, and his body unconsciously leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to see something from Hu Xiaobei's face.

Hu Xiaobei raised his chin high, looked towards the upper right corner at a 45-degree angle, and said seriously, "Have you forgotten? I used to only answer multiple-choice questions in exams.

Have you forgotten that I always had a high probability of getting all the multiple-choice questions correct?

Have you forgotten? I was admitted to the affiliated high school with the highest score in the whole school.

In Xu Chen's view, Hu Xiaobei at this moment was like an assassin who had been lurking for three years.

On the eve of the decisive battle, he seized the critical moment and stabbed him.

Although the wound appeared suddenly and no blood flowed out, it was still shocking enough. Fortunately, he still had a chance to turn things around in the college entrance examination.

Xu Chen slowly reached out and gently pushed the black-framed metal glasses on his nose with his slender fingers.

The glasses that had been slightly tilted due to surprise returned to their original position. Under the illumination of the classroom light, the mirror surface instantly reflected a cold light, just like his inner thoughts at the moment, cold and sharp.

He smiled coldly with deep eyes, but did not retort, as if he was a hero who had endured the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch. He temporarily restrained his edge, but had already made plans in his heart, waiting for the right time to respond to this unexpected attack with real results.

Seeing his fighting spirit, Hu Xiaobei also breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

At this moment, perhaps because he couldn't bear it, Lin Yue, who didn't understand what was going on, frowned slightly with a hint of concern.

She turned slightly to the side and said softly, "Xu Chen, don't cry. It's okay. One failure doesn't mean anything. There's still the college entrance examination."

Xu Chen raised his head slightly, his eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in his eyes, and his eyes were full of regret.

He sniffed, his lips trembling slightly as he spoke, "Lin Yue, don't be like this. I'm so upset. I've suddenly turned into a crybaby fool. I don't look like a model student or an outstanding league cadre at all."

Xu Chen's voice was trembling slightly, tears still lingered on his face, the tip of his nose was slightly red from crying, and his shoulders were still shaking unconsciously.

At this time, the head teacher Yuan Yuan, who had just entered the classroom, was attracted by the movement here and slowly walked over.

With a look of confusion and concern in his eyes, he asked softly, "Isn't this classmate Xu Chen? What's wrong?"

When Xu Chen heard the teacher's voice, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled, and his eyes wavered between embarrassment and confusion. He was shrouded in the haze of social death and trapped in a vortex of contradictions.

Suddenly, he raised his head and blurted out with tears in his eyes: "I can't do this problem! I can't do it! It's too difficult!!"
