Yan Baba was pushed but didn’t get upset; instead, he laughed heartily. “Anyway, Sister Luo said it doesn’t matter what your score is, as long as you’re neither last nor first in the grade, right?”
Ye Wuqi didn’t answer him; instead, he turned and seriously said to Ye Luo, “Sister Luo, you heard that, right? This is the direction you should work towards. Don’t stray from it.”
Ye Luo was speechless.
Catching sight of the thermos flask next to Ye Luo’s backpack, Ye Wuqi smiled. “Old Jiang has one just like this on his desk. I saw it yesterday.”
“That’s Teacher Jiang’s,” Ye Luo replied.
“Then why is it with you?” Ye Wuqi asked, puzzled.
“He said it was for me.”
“Wow!” Not just Ye Wuqi but even Yan Baba shouted in surprise. “That old guy can part with everything except his thermos, and now he’s given it to you?!”
Ye Luo nodded, confirming she really had it. “Inside, he even brewed some goji berries.”
“Holy crap!” Ye Wuqi and Yan Baba shouted even louder.
Ye Luo frowned, not understanding their reaction.

“Sister Luo, why does Old Jiang like you so much?” Yan Baba was visibly upset. “Usually, when I ask him for some goji berries, he flat-out refuses, treating me like I’m nothing. But today, he not only gave you some, he brewed it for you too! And a brand-new thermos! Ah, I can’t control my jealousy anymore. Qi Ge, Qi Ge, you have to comfort me with braised pork! Quick, comfort me with braised pork!”
Ye Luo was again at a loss for words.
Ye Wuqi had been somewhat jealous too, watching Ye Luo, but when Yan Baba lunged at him demanding braised pork for comfort, he burst out laughing.
Pushing Yan Baba away, who clung to him desperately, Ye Wuqi teased, “Get lost! I already ordered an extra portion of braised pork for you yesterday; today, no way!”
Then, both Ye Wuqi and Yan Baba abandoned talk of the thermos and goji berries, pulling out a basketball from the backpack and heading to the nearby court.
They played while waiting for Lei Xingxing and the others to finish their exams so they could all eat lunch together.
Ye Luo lowered her head and continued fiddling with her phone.
When Lei Xingxing and the others joined them after their exams and heard that Jiang Dabao had given Ye Luo a thermos with goji berries brewed inside, they looked utterly incredulous.
During lunch in the cafeteria, after a moment’s hesitation, Ye Wuqi and the others told Qiao Qingyang about Ye Luo having finished her exam very early.
Qiao Qingyang, who had been almost asleep all morning and was just beginning to regain alertness, froze mid-bite upon hearing this.
Then, calmly continuing his meal, he said, “It’s okay. This time I only had one multiple-choice question. After the exam, I compared answers with the gorilla and realized I got it wrong.”

Ye Luo was speechless.
…
For the remaining exams—the math exam on Sunday afternoon, the science comprehensive on Sunday morning, and the foreign language exam on Sunday afternoon—Ye Luo was also the first to submit her papers and leave the examination room.
The exams were shuffled, and all the papers were graded together. Since the edges of the test papers were stapled, no one knew the exact scores for the time being.
After teachers worked overtime, they finally finished grading and inputting all the scores into the computer by 11 p.m. on Sunday, compiling the results.
The liberal arts class results were roughly the same as their midterm exams two weeks earlier, with rankings barely changed. But in the science class, the top scorer was surprisingly not Shen Jing, leaving all the teachers astonished.
This time, Shen Jing scored 147 in Chinese, 150 in math, 150 in foreign language, and 300 in science comprehensive—totaling 747 out of a perfect 750. Yet, such an outstanding score did not earn her first place!!!
