My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

"Full marks! Such a difficult question."

Although everyone was making a fuss, this result was expected.

After all, Ye Zimo's performance was already outstanding. Even though she had only been at the school for half a month, she had already outshone all the top students in the class.

Afterwards, Lao Wei read out the scores of the other people. Wang Tong, the upright guy, got 119 points, which was not bad.

The class monitor's score of 117 and the math committee member's score of 118 are both acceptable.

It's reasonable that Xia Luoluo is 85 and Li Qi is 78.

Finally, Old Wei looked at Lin Mo with a shocked expression.

Did you cheat?

Chapter 17 Acceptance Speech

"No."

Lin Mo answered truthfully.

"How many points did he get? Not more than 60, right?"

"Are you stupid? Old Wei even asked him if he cheated. He must have gotten more than 60 points."

The students started discussing it.

Li Mao and Deng Jie looked on with anticipation; some people had even made a bet!

"The questions in this competition were so difficult, and I only got 117. I don't believe he could have done much better."

Li Mao looked confident.

Deng Jie chimed in, "That's right, we all only got a little over 100. Based on our usual scores, Lin Mo's score this time is at most 55."

"Impossible, look at Lao Wei's expression."

The students chattered incessantly.

Li Qi reached out and patted Lin Mo on the shoulder: "Brother, I can't let you be at the bottom this time, I did too well on the test."

Fat Tiger gave Li Qi a thumbs up. "I admire no one in the whole class but you. Bro, you're really confident."

Lin Mo was also a little nervous.

Old Wei took a sip of tea, glanced at everyone with a meaningful look in his eyes, and slowly said, "Lin Mo scored 138 points, second in the entire grade."

138 points! Second in the entire grade!!!

This news was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in Class 2 of Grade 11.

"How is this possible?!"

"Lin Mo scored 138 points? That's higher than Zhengzhi Ge's score."

"Lin Mo is a real hidden talent; he's been playing dumb all along!"

"No way, did I hear that right?"

Seeing their jaws drop to the floor and their mouths agape as if they could fit three eggs in, Lin Mo suddenly had the illusion of being a successful person.

That's right, that's how you should act.

Who said I can't get 60 points? The one who ate shit on live stream after passing the test—yes, that's you, you should go eat shit.

Lin Mo's gaze fell on class monitor Li Mao, who trembled all over.

Holy crap! Are you seriously going to eat shit?!

"Cough cough."

Old Wei coughed twice to quiet everyone before continuing.

"This math competition was an intra-school competition, so all the outstanding math enthusiasts in the school signed up to participate. Because the questions were quite difficult, it was already very good to get 100 points. Unexpectedly, not only did our class have one person who got 138 points, but also a perfect score. The first and second place were both from our Grade 11 Class 2!"

Old Wei looked proud. Although he initially suspected Lin Mo of cheating, it was still a skill to achieve a high score of 138 even if he cheated.

Without a leak of the exam questions, it's practically impossible to do.

Everyone in the class was still in a daze.

Did I hear that right?

Fat Tiger nudged Li Qi.

Li Qi shook his head: "That's impossible. Brother Gou clearly said it was alright. Doesn't 'alright' mean 60 points?"

"Someone is going to livestream themselves eating shit."

Xia Luoluo egged them on.

Squad leader Li Mao's face turned ashen. "Impossible, impossible, impossible! I must have misheard," he patted his old face.

"Teacher, is there a mistake?"

Deng Jie said, "I cannot accept this!"

"That's right, I recognize the handwriting and the name. It is indeed Lin Mo. I just asked him, and he didn't cheat. Congratulations! Our class has produced another talent. From now on, don't give him any nicknames. Don't call him anything like 'Little Invisible,' 'Lin Dog,' or 'Dog Brother.'"

Old Wei sternly rebuked the unhealthy tendencies in the class, and then said, "If you're going to call someone, call them the Math Dark Horse, Brother Ma!"

Lin Mo was sweating profusely, feeling so embarrassed that he could dig two bedrooms and a living room out of his toes.

Thank you so much, you even changed my surname for me.

"Everyone, please give a round of applause and welcome Lin Mo to the stage to share his acceptance speech."

Old Wei, with a beaming smile, led the clapping.

A thunderous applause erupted in the classroom.

Lin Mo hadn't had such a glorious moment since finishing elementary school.

Wait a minute, it's just announcing a result, why is it fast-forwarding to the acceptance speech?

Lin Mo glanced at Lao Wei speechlessly.

Old Wei completely disregarded Lin Mo's thoughts and said enthusiastically, "Don't be shy, come up here and tell everyone how your math skills improved so rapidly in such a short time and how you rediscovered your love for math."

Lin Mo glanced at Ye Zimo, who rarely showed a smile.

Lin Mo was stunned. Not only Lin Mo, but the other classmates and Lao Wei were also infected by this smile.

That smile was like a ray of holy light shining on the earth, illuminating the dark hearts of every student.

The goddess can actually laugh!

Lin Mo used to think that the poems about a smile that could launch a thousand ships, or a smile that could topple a nation or a city, were all exaggerations. But after seeing Ye Zimo's smile, he realized that there really were such bewitching beauties who could bring ruin to a country!

Ye Zimo is one of them!

Lin Mo's heart started pounding again.

Calm down, this isn't love! It's just hormones at work!

Lin Mo walked up to the podium.

"I want to thank Ms. Wei for her earnest teachings, my classmates for their kindness, and most importantly, my deskmate Ye Zimo for tutoring me every day, even on weekends. I feel that this honor belongs to both of us."

Lin Mo delivered a very official speech, immediately drawing the students' attention back to Ye Zimo.

"Goddess is amazing!"

"Goddess is awesome!"

"Goddess Ye Zi, we are all your fans!"

Then, Lin Mo on the podium seemed to be enveloped by a magical power and became transparent.

"Zimo, could you tutor me too?"

"Zimo, what did you eat to grow up so smart?"

"Zimo, come and see me."

Noticing that the classmates had ignored Lin Mo again, Lao Wei patted Lin Mo on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother Ma, well done. I hope you can get such good results in the final exam again."

"Teacher, you're making me very nervous."

Lin Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You'd better not take me seriously."

"Don't hang out with Li Qi lately, he'll only affect your studies."

Old Wei added a sentence before letting Lin Mo step down from the podium.

After school, students went home or back to their dormitories one after another.

Li Qi also went to practice.

Lin Mo and Ye Zimo, the students on duty, were the only ones left in the classroom.

As Lin Mo was wiping the blackboard, he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance.

That was Ye Zimo's faint, pleasant fragrance.

"?"

Lin Mo turned to look at her, "Why aren't you going back yet? Didn't we agree that tutoring was over?"

"Yes, the tutoring is over."

Ye Zimo approached Lin Mo, cornering him against the wall with a classic wall slam.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Ye Zimo asked.

"I…"

Lin Mo was a little nervous. After spending the last few days together, he realized that Ye Zimo was not dangerous, but her charm was about to explode.

"Ah."

Ye Zimo raised an eyebrow and reminded her, "Don't you think I'm very capable?"

"That's really impressive."
