A god-level beauty system? But I'm already a god-level beauty!

Shen Ye and Mu Jingyan have been studying together for almost a week.

Shen Ye felt that he hadn't gained much.

Of course, this refers specifically to academics.

Mu Jingyan's strength is indeed terrifying.

Previously, despite Shen Ye refusing to participate in the math competition, she represented Huiwen Middle School and won the city's first prize.

Unfortunately, the girl's mind wasn't on that, and she didn't participate in the subsequent competitions.

With such academic achievements, she would definitely benefit greatly if she were paired with a student who scored low.

But the reality is that her partner is an overrated Shen Ye.

He knows the questions Mu Jingyan knows, and he also knows most of the questions Mu Jingyan doesn't know.

The only thing the girl could offer him was a different approach to solving the problem.

In contrast, Mu Jingyan learned a great deal.

Shen Ye is a good person, and he truly teaches some things.

Mu Jingyan even said that if he took a part-time job as a tutor, he would definitely make a fortune.

Shen Ye scoffed at this.

"I'm only teaching so diligently because it's you, okay? I wouldn't even want to teach someone else." That's what he said.

"Oh? What do you mean? You like me?"

"Don't be so narcissistic. You are very beautiful, but you're still a far cry from me. You're only at the threshold of catching my eye. I just feel that it's very fulfilling to personally cultivate someone who can overcome themselves."

"You're the most narcissistic one, aren't you?" Mu Jingyan said speechlessly.

She had already planned out how to refuse, but Shen Ye was still so nonsensical.

"That's called self-confidence."

......

Finally, the midterm exams arrived as scheduled.

Tuesday was the first day of midterm exams.

According to available information, this exam is a city-wide joint exam, and the difficulty level of the test papers is terrifyingly high.

Compared to the total score of 760 in the first year of high school, the total score increases to 860 with the addition of physics in the second year.

The three subjects of Chinese, Mathematics, and English each account for 120 points, while the remaining subjects account for 100 points.

A few days before the exam, Principal Huang Tianxiang specifically pulled Shen Ye and Mu Jingyan aside to put pressure on them.

They said they must get the highest score possible this time, and strive to have the highest score in the city at their Huiwen Middle School.

"This is a bit tricky—"

Shen Ye counted on his fingers and spoke casually.

"Principal Huang, as you know, I live in the faculty apartment. The lights in the apartment building hallways seem to be not very good, which means I have to spend a lot of time climbing the stairs in the dark every time I get home."

"If the lights were improved even slightly, I'd have more time to study, and maybe then I could try to get a spot."

Isn't that pure nonsense?

Climbing five floors, even in the dark, how much time would it take?

"Change it! Change it immediately!" Huang Tianxiang slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"I've mentioned it to the general affairs department several times, but there's been no improvement! Don't worry, Xiao Shen, this time I'll go talk to them myself!"

"Thank you very much, Principal."

Sure enough, within a few days, all the old motion-activated lights in the apartment building's corridors were completely replaced.

Back to the present.

Taking advantage of the free time before the exam started, Shen Ye and Mu Jingyan got together to discuss the questions.

"Shen Ye, I'm still a little confused about the question you just explained. Could you explain to me again how it was derived?" Mu Jingyan's fair fingers touched the test paper, and she was still a little embarrassed.

"No need." Shen Ye checked the pencil case to make sure nothing was missing.

He turned to look at the math problem on Mu Jingyan's fingertips and said, "The first subject doesn't test math, and there's not enough time to go over it again. I'll explain it to you at noon."

The moment the words left her lips, the teacher began calling for the students to go to the examination room.

The classroom suddenly became noisy, with people darting around.

Shen Ye also stood up, ready to leave.

Before leaving the classroom, he glanced at his classmate who was still tidying up his belongings at his seat.

Mu Jingyan seemed to say something to him, but he was a bit far away and there was noise, so he couldn't hear clearly.

But judging from the lip movements, it says "Go for it!"

Shen Ye smiled, parted his lips, and gave her the same "good luck" in return.

Outside the examination hall, there were still many students leaning on the railings, holding their Chinese textbooks, making their final push.

Even last-minute preparation can be effective.

Who knows, those few extra lines of classical poetry you memorized in those few minutes might be on the test later.

Shen Ye walked straight into the examination room and found his seat.

Hey! Bro!

The people next to him were calling him.

"Could you send me an answer later?"

Clearly, his consistent ranking of first or second in the grade, coupled with his highly recognizable appearance, has made him easily identifiable.

"Sorry, I can't help you," Shen Ye refused.

It's not that he didn't want to help.

The problem was that the distance between the two tables was too great, making it difficult to pass the answers.

In addition, two proctors were specially assigned to this exam, one in front and one behind.

Shen Ye wouldn't take risks himself just to help others.

The person knew that their request was a bit excessive; they didn't even know the other person, so why should they risk giving them an answer?

At 11:10 a.m., Shen Ye finished the entire Chinese language test.

There were still twenty minutes left in the exam.

He spent another ten minutes checking each of the questions he had answered before to make sure he had gotten all the points he could.

Then I just sat there and waited for the exam to end.

It was quite difficult. To show his respect for the teacher who set the exam and his opponent, Mu Jingyan, he really gave it his all.

......

Qin Xian had just finished a long meeting.

She leaned back in her office chair, rubbed her temples, and let out a long sigh.

The documents piled up on the entire table in the meeting room, and it took her more than three hours to finalize the plan for the last project.

Qin Xian took off her glasses and placed them on the table. She closed her eyes and sat for a while, then picked up her phone and opened the parents' group chat that she hadn't checked in a long time.

As the company's chairperson, she is extremely busy every day.

There are so many messages in the parents' group chat, hundreds a day. She usually mutes it and only checks it occasionally when she remembers.

I swipe my finger across the screen, quickly skipping over the replies like "Received," "Thank you, teacher," and "Thank you for your hard work, teacher," and scroll down until I see a few notifications related to the exam.

Her gaze lingered on one of the notices—"The midterm exams will be held this Tuesday and Wednesday, and the results will be announced at the parents' meeting."

There was a smaller line of text that listed the specific time and location of the parent-teacher meeting.

After reading through the relevant information from the past seven days, Qin Xian put her phone on the table and thought quietly for a while.

She doesn't have any important schedules lately, so going to school won't have much of an impact.

In her memory, Mu Jingyan was first in her grade in the last and the month before that, which meant that her daughter had basically secured this position, and there shouldn't be any major surprises this time.

She thought about it for a moment and decided it would be good to go and see for herself the child named Shen Ye.

She wanted to know what kind of person could argue with the daughter she had personally raised so many times.
