Su Xiao Ba was only fifteen this year, and Su Xiao Jiu was fourteen.
Although they were both older brothers, they were only one or two years older than Su Xiao Tian.
Boys developed a little later, so these two brothers didn't look like they were participating in the college entrance examination at all; at most, they looked like they were in junior high school.
"Don't you know about the gifted class at our No. 7 Middle School?"
Principal Gu was displeased. How could these people not even know about their No. 7 Middle School's gifted class?
As it happened, some people did know about the gifted class at No. 7 Middle School. Perhaps these two boys from Yiming Pavilion were in the gifted class and had participated in the college entrance examination this time.
But competing against a group of young men and women aged eighteen or nineteen with such young children, they probably wouldn't be able to keep up, right?
Their gazes were filled with doubt. Although they didn't ask anything, Principal Gu still felt their contempt.
"Are you looking down on the children in our gifted class? Do you know that some children are born prodigies? They are very smart!" Principal Gu explained indignantly.
Doubting his students was no different from doubting himself.
"How good of a score can such young children get!"
One person retorted defiantly.
Their families also had relatives participating in this year's college entrance examination.
If their grown sons were surpassed by such young children, how could they show their faces?
"Don't underestimate children. These two boys, one is the sixth in the entire capital, and the other is the ninth!" Principal Gu couldn't be subtle anymore and retorted directly.
Su Xiao Ba and Su Xiao Jiu did not hear Director Li's words in the private room.
Upon hearing Principal Gu's words, the two of them could hardly believe their ears.
They had achieved such results?
This was a bit unexpected!
"You're not lying, are you? Such young children, can they really get sixth and ninth place in the entire capital?"
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go to the entrance of the Education Bureau to see the score sheets!" Principal Gu said angrily.
Speaking of the Education Bureau, he suddenly remembered Director Li, who was unrighteous and had said he would take him to the Su family but ran off before he could get in the car.
"Is Director Li here?" he immediately asked Su Xiao Ba.
Su Xiao Ba quickly nodded solemnly, "He's already here and is in the private room."
The two brothers exchanged glances, still feeling very strange.
Why did Principal Gu look so angry?
What had happened between Director Li and Principal Gu?
At this moment, Principal Gu was striding towards the direction Su Xiao Ba and Su Xiao Jiu pointed.
"Young men, are you two really that good at studying?" a slightly older guest asked.
"We are not good at studying!" After exchanging glances, the two brothers answered in unison with great tacit understanding.
The four or five guests at the table immediately showed expressions of "as expected."
It made sense; with two young children achieving such scores, how could the other older children live?
"It's okay if you're not good at studying; you're still young. If you repeat the year, you might be able to get into a good university next year!" one person said earnestly.
The two brothers seemed to have been hit hard.
What did that mean?
Why would they need to repeat the year?
"Brother Ba, what did Principal Gu say our scores were just now?" Su Xiao Jiu asked doubtfully.
Could it be that they had misheard, and it wasn't sixth and ninth in the entire capital, but sixth and ninth from the bottom?
No, their scores shouldn't be that bad!
"Principal Gu said we were sixth and ninth. I think you should be sixth, and I'll be ninth!" Su Xiao Ba said very sincerely.
He had always known that he was not good at studying.
"Brother Ba, we don't need to repeat the year, do we?"
If it were any other time, Su Xiao Jiu would not be so bewildered, but now he was indeed doubting himself.
Why hadn't Director Li said anything about their scores, good or bad?
Watching the two children ask and answer, the guests felt that these might be two children who were devastated by their exam results.
Someone was about to comfort them when they suddenly remembered that the principal of No. 7 Middle School had said something like that earlier.
"Are you two really good at studying?" someone finally couldn't help but ask again.
The two brothers resolutely shook their heads.
Not good?
The guests were a little confused. If they weren't good, how could they achieve sixth and ninth place in the capital?
"If you're not good, how can you get sixth and ninth place? Are you colluding with this principal to deceive people!"
"We are not good at studying, but our sister is the first in the capital!" Su Xiao Ba quickly explained when he heard the person say that.
The guests at the table were completely defeated by this sentence.
So, these two boys weren't bad at studying, they were just not as good as their sister who was ranked first in the capital?
What kind of miraculous family was this Yiming Pavilion?
One first in the capital, one sixth, and one ninth.
Was this leaving any room for others to live?
"We two are the worst at studying in our family. My eldest brother was first in the province at that time, and my second and third brothers were also in the top five. For scores like sixth and ninth, it's only us!" Su Xiao Jiu added.
Well, now it was even better. These people were completely petrified.
So, the gates of university were opened for this family?
After Su Xiao Ba heard Su Xiao Jiu's explanation, the slight sadness in his heart disappeared.
It seemed that they were indeed not worth special attention from their family, since they were the real underachievers!
Little did they know that while they considered themselves underachievers, the guests at this table were utterly speechless.
Or rather, they were petrified and didn't know what to say.
They had just advised the children to repeat the year, but with the children's scores, even top universities were not a problem!
"Brother Ba, let's go find Xiao Tian and ask her to tutor us. Otherwise, if we don't study well in university, it will be even more embarrassing!" Su Xiao Jiu said sincerely.
Su Xiao Ba nodded and said, "Fortunately, we didn't apply to the same university as Xiao Tian."
If they had applied to the same school, their lives for the next four years would not have been easy.
The guests at the table looked at each other. With these scores, they still needed tutoring; what were other people's children supposed to do?
They looked around the Yiming Pavilion restaurant. Could it be that this restaurant was too auspicious?
Yiming Pavilion, a startling success!
No wonder their children were so outstanding!
They should come to Yiming Pavilion more often in the future!
"Look at these children; they are truly outstanding and low-key. In other families, being tenth in the capital would be enough to make them feel like they're on top of the world!" the oldest person sighed.
"Exactly. Today, I should have brought my unstudious brat here so he could hear this!" another person lamented.
"There will be plenty of time in the future. Let's bring the children here more often, and it would be best if we could meet this outstanding young girl!"
"I've seen the young girl from this establishment. She's beautiful and speaks fluent foreign languages. I didn't expect her to do so well in the exams!" one person at the table said casually, clearly familiar with Yiming Pavilion.
