Chapter 11: Defying the Odds with an Extraordinary Exam Score

Page (1/3)

“How many points?”

Looking at Chen Xiruo, the homeroom teacher could not help asking.

Everyone else pricked up their ears curiously as well.

“748!”

After taking a deep breath, Chen Xiruo answered in a trembling voice.

“74?”

“Wait!”

“What did you say?”

Hearing Chen Xiruo’s answer, the homeroom teacher nodded instinctively.

Then he looked at her with eyes full of disbelief.

And he was not the only one.

Everyone else in the classroom wore expressions of utter astonishment.

Some even pinched their own thighs without thinking.

Had they really heard correctly?

748?

How was that possible?

Someone who had barely attended school for a few days had scored almost full marks?

Was he trying to leave the rest of them no way to live?

“It’s true!”

“Other than losing one point each in Chinese and English, he got full marks in every other subject!”

With a faint smile, Chen Xiruo explained slowly.

As she spoke, she waved the paper in her hand.

“How could this be?”

Muttering to himself, the homeroom teacher instinctively walked toward Chen Xiruo.

He immediately picked up the sheet bearing Huang Feiyang’s identity-card and examination numbers, then took out his own phone.

“Hello! I’d like to check the national college entrance examination results…”

Two minutes later, the homeroom teacher’s reaction was nothing short of spectacular.

A succession of expressions crossed his face.

Shock!

Ecstasy!

Awkwardness!

And finally, a grin so broad it seemed impossible to close his mouth…

What did it mean to receive an unexpected surprise?

This was it!

A student he had regarded as an academic failure, someone who never took exams and had barely come to school for a few days.

A rich second-generation heir whom he had assumed had completely abandoned himself to pleasure.

And yet, in the national college entrance examination, he had scored 748 points?

A raw score of 748!

It was simply too unbelievable!

At the same time, Huang Feiyang had indisputably become the top science student in the province!

If nothing unexpected happened, with this score, I’m sure to be the national top science student!

This was a score worthy of going down in history!

How could he have known that the deductions in Chinese and English were probably merely symbolic—one point each?

In reality, Huang Feiyang’s score was no different from a perfect total!

“Student Huang Feiyang’s score…”

After calming himself down, the homeroom teacher reported the good news to everyone with a beaming smile.

At almost the same moment, Huang Feiyang, who had been taking an afternoon nap, found his phone ringing nonstop.

“Hello?”

“Hello! May I ask if this is Huang Feiyang? I’m a reporter from the Provincial News Network, and I…”

Click!

Before the other party could finish, Huang Feiyang hung up.

He had assumed the call was spam.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong.

In less than ten minutes, he received several similar calls.

“Hello! May I ask if this is Huang Feiyang? I’m from the Provincial Morning Post…”

“I’m a reporter from the Guangdong Student Newspaper…”

“Hello! I’m calling from Yang City Television…”

“Hello!…”

In the end, Huang Feiyang simply turned off his phone.

“Damn!”

“Did I take things a little too far this time?”

Huang Feiyang rarely swore, but even he could not hold back now.

A bitter expression appeared on his face.

If only he had known, he would have restrained his score a little.

Now look at what had happened. With one careless move, he was about to cause a sensation.

That had been reckless!

He had been far too reckless!

Sitting in front of his computer, Huang Feiyang opened Penguin and saw the message Chen Xiruo had sent him. He could not help but pause.

748 points?

The provincial top science student?

And possibly even the national top science student?

All at once, Huang Feiyang began to understand why those reporters had been so excited.

A score like this was simply defying the heavens!

As expected of a man blessed with a cheat ability—the gift of never forgetting anything he saw!

At that moment, Huang Feiyang could not help feeling a little smug.

On the first floor of Huang Feiyang’s villa, several landline phones were ringing one after another.

The two maids, Uncle Lin, and Huang Feiyang’s bodyguards were all busy answering the calls.

Their reactions were equally colorful.

“Hello! A reporter? Young Master Huang scored 748 points? Are you kidding me?”

“Good grief! Why are there so many nuisance calls today?”

“Who exactly is pulling this prank?”

“It isn’t April Fool’s Day! This joke isn’t funny at all!”

“…”

In their view, Huang Feiyang scoring 748 points in the national college entrance examination was absolutely impossible.

Had Young Master Huang even looked at a book in the past few years?

How many times had he actually gone to school?

Basically, hadn’t he spent every day eating, drinking, and having fun?

And he was supposed to score almost full marks like that?

What kind of joke was this?

Yet as call after call came in, looks of uncertainty gradually appeared on their faces.

Could it be that Young Master Huang had suddenly become enlightened?

Had he really become this brilliant overnight?

In the end, Uncle Lin decisively called Huang Feiyang’s parents.

He felt that this matter needed to be properly reported to the master and madam.

…

Yang City No. 1 High School.

By now, Huang Feiyang’s name had resounded throughout the entire school.

Countless people were discussing this legendary figure!

Someone who had barely come to school for a few days!

And yet, in this year’s national college entrance examination, he had scored 748 points?

The provincial top science student?

Exaggerated!

It was simply far too exaggerated!

If they had not seen numerous city officials arriving at the school, along with a flood of reporters pouring onto the campus, they would have begun to doubt whether the news was true.

However, whether they were the officials or the reporters, all of them were extremely frustrated.

The protagonist was not even at school.

And they could not get in touch with him!

In their eyes, Huang Feiyang and Chen Xiruo were unquestionably the main characters of the day.

The provincial science champion!

748 points!

The provincial science fourth-place student!

711 points!

Not long ago, Chen Xiruo had already left the school.

As for these two students, neither the school authorities nor the city officials had any way to deal with them.

Others might not know, but how could they fail to know about the family backgrounds of these two?

If they were unwilling to accept interviews, there was nothing anyone could do!

At that moment, Huang Feiyang and Chen Xiruo were chatting on Penguin.

“Huang Feiyang, I’m planning to attend Jinghua University!”

“What about you?”

After chatting idly for a while, Chen Xiruo finally got to the point.

“Then I’ll go to Jinghua University too!”

Without giving it a second thought, Huang Feiyang typed out a line and sent it.

Seeing his reply, Chen Xiruo sent back a delighted smiling face.

“Then it’s settled!”

“As for our majors, shall we take some time to research them properly?”

“Sure!”

“…”

That day, the Internet exploded as the national college entrance examination results were released.

Huang Feiyang’s name, in particular, resounded throughout the online world.

After all, a raw score of 748 was simply too dazzling.

In those days, publicity surrounding the national college entrance examination was utterly frenzied.

Top scores were not concealed from the public.

So the outcome was entirely predictable!
