A Snow Biscuit

Chapter 255 Shi Yi Reaches the Summit (Thank you to Alliance Leader Pi Pi Jia)

“You’re so naughty, you clearly knew that Old Mo wouldn't want you to leave, and you still deliberately tease him like that…”

Watching Chen Yuan send messages to Old Mo, Xia Xinyu couldn’t help but complain, perhaps thinking of how she was often made fun of by Chen Yuan as well.

Old Mo *Laoshi* is quite alright…

Chen Yuan had wanted to complain for a long time. As expected of Xinyu, this title combined Chen Yuan’s teasing of Old Mo with her respect for him.

“Actually, the main reason I’m not going to Class One is because Class Eighteen is more free,” Chen Yuan added.

“Class Eighteen is indeed like herding sheep, but wouldn’t Class One be more beneficial for improving your grades?” Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan and asked with some concern.

“Maybe, I don’t know.”

Chen Yuan shook his head, uncertain. But at the same time, he was very certain about one thing: “But after going to Class One, I’d have to spend time *pua*-ing Old Xu, getting him to accept the fact that I have to stick with my girlfriend.”

“You finally admit you’re bullying Old Mo *laoshi*, hehe.”

Xia Xinyu puffed out her cheeks and teased him very realistically, “So just now, were you *pua*-ing too?”

“No, that was purely because I like to play around.”

“Then you should be careful, Old Mo *laoshi* has a bad heart, don’t play too hard.”

“…Oops, forgot.” Chen Yuan then remembered Old Mo’s pettiness, and felt a pang of guilt. “For people with heart problems, you really can’t startle them.”

“Are you sure my heart is good then?” Xia Xinyu retorted.

“Then I’ll listen and see if it’s a good heart.”

“Ah?”

Xia Xinyu was stunned for a moment, and then Chen Yuan put his ear to her left chest, directly covering it like a stethoscope, making zero-distance contact.

And at this moment, Xia Xinyu was still wearing her pajamas, not the loose school uniform.

Visibly, it was slightly pressed down…

“Eek, Xinyu’s heart is beating a little fast too.”

“Okay, do your problems.”

Xia Xinyu made him sit up with a red face, and then tapped the table with her finger, signaling him not to be distracted, and reminding him, “In the next two days, you have to finish a whole set of Si Gao Joint Examination papers, and then I’ll grade them for you, and then calculate how much your score can rank in the Si Gao alliance.”

“Then it’s too much trouble for Xinyu,” Chen Yuan said gratefully.

“Who told me to be your girlfriend?” Xia Xinyu joked.

“Then I’ll cook these two days…”

“That.”

Xia Xinyu raised a hand, directly interrupting him, and said seriously, “Please don’t use the spare ribs we finally bought for extra meals to practice your cooking skills.”

“Sometimes, you really are quite sharp-tongued.”

“I have even more sharp-tongued things to say, want to try?” Xia Xinyu said with a slight provocation.

“Come on, thank you… ah no, I mean try it.”

He almost thought she felt that being sharp-tongued was a reward, dangerous, dangerous.

Looking at Chen Yuan, Xia Xinyu giggled and said, “You’ve already lost ten points on our physics paper.”

“…” Hearing this, Chen Yuan was immediately stunned.

Too poisonous, a poisonous woman!

“Write quickly, the time you wasted just now also counts as part of the exam, let’s see if you can get ninety points on our physics questions.” Xia Xinyu patted Chen Yuan’s shoulder, reminding him to moderate his slacking.

Then, she also decided not to disturb Chen Yuan anymore.

Holding a biology book, she sat on the bed behind Chen Yuan, covered herself with a small blanket, and planned to review the biology that she had performed slightly ordinary today.

Just then, her aunt’s video call came.

“Chen Yuan!” Xia Xinyu was startled and quickly shouted at him in a low voice, “Auntie, video call.”

“Auntie wants to see me, right? Here I come.” Chen Yuan stopped the pen in his hand and leaned over.

“I’m not kidding.”

Because the sound of the video call was still thumping, Xia Xinyu was now so anxious that her body was tense, and she quickly said in a low voice, “Shhh.”

“Then what should I do?” Chen Yuan stood there, waiting for Xia Xinyu to arrange.

“How about, go back for a bit first?” Xia Xinyu suggested.

“Okay, alright.”

Chen Yuan nodded, and then did as he was told. He picked up his schoolbag, put it on his back, and walked towards the door.

Looking at Chen Yuan’s departing back, Xia Xinyu didn’t know why, but she felt particularly distressed.

She even felt like she was a bit cruel.

Answering the phone and asking her boyfriend to avoid her, it was indeed not very good, he accepted it, and didn’t say anything, but he must be sad…

Actually, Chen Yuan felt okay.

He really thought just now that his aunt wanted to talk to him on the phone, but then he realized that his aunt didn’t know that the two of them were neighbors.

Even less did she know that the two of them often stayed in the same room, doing very in-depth studying.

“Wait a minute, honey.” Xia Xinyu quickly called out to Chen Yuan, then looked at him, and after observing him, suddenly pointed to her feet and said, “Come, come under the covers.”

“Can I?” Chen Yuan pointed at himself, looking happy.

He’s showing his happiness too obviously!

Of course, I’m also very happy that you value me so much…

“Yes, yes, hurry up, I want to answer the phone!”

Xia Xinyu didn’t want to make Chen Yuan sad, nor did she want to be caught by her aunt, so she could only resort to this strategy, letting Chen Yuan lie facing her.

This way, he would appear in the blind spot of her phone’s camera. No matter if she tilted left or right, he would not be exposed.

However…

Looking at the slightly raised quilt in front of her, Xia Xinyu pointed to it before starting the video.

When Chen Yuan saw it, he took his feet off Xia Xinyu’s thighs.

However, it felt a bit awkward to move them away.

So, he simply embedded Xia Xinyu, his legs wrapping around her legs that were close together.

This combination was still considered reasonable.

However, she could feel that Xia Xinyu’s foot, wearing socks, was gently pressing against…

No, change it again.

At this time, she saw Xia Xinyu frowning at him, as if saying: Behave yourself.

Alright then.

Chen Yuan stopped moving.

Sitting opposite Xia Xinyu, he also took out a phone and played with it boredly.

Then, he heard the phone say, “The scores for the Chinese papers are out too, you did well, you got 129.”

Wow, 129 for Chinese, 140 for math, Xinyu is going to soar.

But she was pretty good at these two subjects, and she used to rely on them to pull up her scores, so it wasn’t surprising.

“What about the combined science score, is it out yet?” Xia Xinyu asked.

“The combined science score will be out tomorrow, and the English score will be out tomorrow too. I should be able to know the ranking of the whole school in the evening, but the ranking of the four schools will have to wait until Sunday afternoon,” her aunt explained.

“I see.” Xia Xinyu smiled, and also smiled a little extra, as if she was pacifying a child while chatting with an adult.

Xia *Mama*!

“Seeing that you did quite well this time, do you think you can improve a bit?” Because Xia Xinyu did well in these two subjects, her aunt’s voice was smiling too.

“I don’t know, I feel like my combined science score was a bit so-so, but my English was not bad, maybe around 630 or 640,” Xia Xinyu said very cautiously.

“Then with this score, your school ranking is estimated to improve a bit more, 380th place should be possible,” her aunt analyzed.

“I estimate it’s still only 400th place, it shouldn’t improve that much,” Xia Xinyu said uncertainly.

“It’s already very good, when I took the exam, I wasn’t as good as you.”

After her aunt finished joking, she suddenly said mysteriously, “How did he do on the exam?”

Hearing the word "he," Xia Xinyu giggled. Her knees bent slightly, and the toes of her feet, wearing socks, also grabbed the bed, feeling a little smug and embarrassed at the same time.

No, why is she smiling so cutely?

Is this how she usually chats with her aunt?

I enjoyed watching this today.

Chen Yuan watched Xia Xinyu, wanting to see how she would describe him.

“This smile of yours means he did very well?” her aunt said.

“I think it’s very good.”

“Then what’s the estimated score? Although it’s not accurate, you should have a little concept, right?” her aunt said.

“His score is out,” Xia Xinyu glanced at Chen Yuan, and then said.

“The score is out? Does Eleventh High School grade papers so quickly?” Her aunt was very surprised, “Fourth High School isn’t so competitive either, we only let the teachers take the papers home to grade as an extra shift.”

No, if this isn’t called competitive, then what is?

Zhang Jianjun, you’ve turned Xia Xinyu’s aunt into a ghost too!

That’s too much.

“No, his score was graded separately,” Xia Xinyu explained.

“……”

Hearing this, the expression on her aunt’s face in the video froze for a moment, looking a bit surprised. After a while, she said, “Does their school grade student papers separately?”

“I don’t know, I only know that his score was graded.”

“Generally speaking,” her aunt explained, “after the joint exam, the leaders won’t trouble the teachers too much, they’ll only grade a few students in advance. Like our school, we’ll grade at most one Ke Jiayuan. Or, we’ll grade one more liberal arts test number 001. Shi Yi should also be specially focused on.”

“Then is Chen Yuan also this type of student?” Xia Xinyu asked innocently.

“If the leaders have a deep impression of him, and value him more…” After her aunt finished speaking, she suddenly nodded to herself, saying, “I guess their principal thinks Chen Yuan’s progress is fast, and wants to see how much he has improved, so they graded one more. Generally speaking, it’s the top students who are first, or like Shi Yi, the particularly powerful top students, otherwise they wouldn’t have this kind of treatment.”

“Oh oh, that should be it. Chen Yuan’s score was sent directly by their principal.”

“Sent directly by the principal? Does he know the principal? Then I understand, he’s gained the leader’s appreciation. And the fact that the leader would send it to him means that his score must be very good, right?”

After saying this with a smile, Xia Fang in the video picked up her thermos cup and took a sip of tea.

Xia Xinyu said, “I think it’s very good, but he’s quite calm about it.”

Xia Fang, who was drinking tea, nodded, wanting Xia Xinyu to just say the score.

“661 points.”

“Cough!” Then, Xia Fang almost spat out a mouthful of tea, and quickly reached for a tissue to cover her mouth.

“Auntie, you?” Xia Xinyu showed a worried expression.

And Chen Yuan was confused by the whole thing. Why did she suddenly spit out tea while chatting?

Isn’t this score good enough?

“It’s, it’s nothing.”

Her aunt wiped her mouth, blew her nose, and then was silent for a long while before she said with difficulty, “When he went back to Shao Xiang, wasn’t his score only 500 points?”

“Yeah.” Xia Xinyu nodded.

“This, this…”

Her aunt had been teaching for more than ten years, and had never taught a player of this level. She paused for a long while, and still felt like it wasn’t real. Finally, she said somewhat subtly, “I previously thought you were worrying a bit too much about the two of you not being able to go to the same school, after all, there’s still some gap between you, and the time is still long. But now… I can understand your feelings.”

“Yeah, right? He’s very amazing,” Xia Xinyu praised with a smile.

“Yes, yes, yes, he’s very amazing. You’re smiling like he’s already a member of your family, are you that proud?”

“……” Xia Xinyu blushed after her aunt said that. Then, looking at Chen Yuan, she put her foot on his thigh, not knowing what to say, but it was clear that she was complaining a bit.

See, I was laughed at by my aunt again because of you.

“But this score is really amazing. If he was in Fourth High School, and worked hard for the next year and a half, he might be able to become a student like Shi Yi,” her aunt said regretfully.

“Is there no possibility in Eleventh High School?” Xia Xinyu asked, puzzled.

Her aunt smiled, and said with particular certainty, “You know in Fourth High School how big the gap is between the teachers, how big the gap is between the exam papers, and how big the gap is between the resources. In the past ten years, five years of top scorers have been in Fourth High School, four years in First High School, and the only big grapefruit that was lost was originally a student of Fourth High School. In the next ten years, all the top scorers will be from Fourth High School and First High School, there’s no need to even think about it.”

The top 3,000 students in the city on the high school entrance exam are all from First High School and Fourth High School.

After that, the other schools and Second High School split the rest.

The students that Eleventh High School can get are almost 8,000th place and beyond.

Chen Yuan is strong, but after 700 points, it’s extremely difficult to get even one more point.

Xia Fang liked this kid, but as a Fourth High School teacher, she also had a sense of honor.

Fourth High School is the number one in Xia Hai. Even if there is still some controversy now, surpassing First High School is only a matter of time.

The only pity for Chen Yuan is that he’s an Eleventh High School student.

“Yeah… I see.” Xia Xinyu didn’t argue with Xia Fang, and even took the initiative to show a smile, saying, “Then auntie, can you print an extra copy of each exam paper and resource for me?”

“You’re asking me to leak confidential documents?”

“Please?” Xia Xinyu rarely acted spoiled with Xia Fang, but she knew that as long as she acted spoiled, her aunt couldn’t refuse, so she used her important face here.

“You’re not allowed to make copies yourself, and you’re not allowed to show them to others,” Xia Fang also smiled, and didn’t make things difficult for her.

“Okay, I guarantee it.”

Xia Xinyu smiled and made an okay gesture, and also winked at Chen Yuan.

“Xinyu…”

And at this time, Xia Fang, who seemed to have noticed something, suddenly asked curiously, “Is there someone opposite you?”

?!

Xia Xinyu and Chen Yuan froze almost simultaneously.

Then, Chen Yuan quickly poked Xia Xinyu’s butt with his toes.

Only then did she suddenly react, and explained with a smile, “How could there be? There’s nothing going on.”

“Alright then, go to sleep early.”

“Yeah, goodbye auntie.”

After Xia Xinyu hung up the phone a little stiffly, she lifted the quilt, and then tilted her head, staring at the foot massage technician Chen Yuan, who had been holding her foot and kneading it for a long time.

Although she didn’t say anything, everything was understood.

“I was a little nervous just now, I wanted to find something to hold,” Chen Yuan explained while pinching Xia Xinyu’s little foot wrapped in white socks.

“What about now?”

“Now I want to pinch it.”

“Okay, okay, go do your problems.”

“Okay.”

Chen Yuan got up and returned to the table. Just as he was about to pick up the pen, Xia Xinyu suddenly grabbed his hand and said seriously, “Wash your hands.”

“Ah?”

“The hand that just pinched my foot, wash it,” Xia Xinyu said with a red face.

She could accept some of Chen Yuan’s slightly perverted games, but the premise was to pay attention to hygiene.

Helplessly, Chen Yuan could only go wash his hands, removing the lingering fragrance from his hands.

Then, he continued to do the physics paper.

After he finished, Xia Xinyu graded it.

“92 points, not bad, it’s already reached a good level,” Xia Xinyu praised after grading it.

“Then it should be about the same difficulty as our school.”

“Speaking of which, this exam is one of the Seven School Joint Exams,” Xia Xinyu asked curiously, “Are there any particularly powerful people?”

“There really is,” Chen Yuan said directly after thinking of that name, “Liu Yiyang from the Foreign Language School, like Shi Yi, got a perfect score in the math competition.”

“Then do you know how high the highest score usually is for your Seven School Joint Exam? Isn’t there usually many of these exams before senior year?”

“I don’t know, anyway, the most powerful one can get over 700 points.”

“Okay, I understand.” Xia Xinyu nodded.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Yuan asked, puzzled, looking at Xia Xinyu.

“You also heard what auntie said just now, she said it very decisively, she’s already certain that your progress in Eleventh High School is very limited. But, don’t blame her.”

“Of course not, that’s what normal people think, Fourth High School and First High School are too strong.”

“However, I don’t agree with my aunt being so certain.”

Xia Xinyu suddenly held Chen Yuan’s cheeks, and said with full of approval and favoritism, “I never think you can’t do it, so I don’t like any of the doubts about you.”

Xia Xinyu was serious.

She seriously wanted to refute her aunt’s outrageous theory.

“Thank you,” Chen Yuan said, feeling a little touched.

“You’re welcome,” Xia Xinyu also showed a bright smile, and said, “Because I love you.”

Because I love you, I can’t allow others to say anything about you.

This has nothing to do with logic and objective facts.

For Chen Yuan, Xia Xinyu only has a position.

“Okay honey, go back to your room and sleep.”

Xia Xinyu stood up, told Chen Yuan to stand up too, and then patted his *pigu* with her hand.

“Okay, goodnight Xinyu.”

Just like that, Chen Yuan nodded in response, and took his things back to his room.

He now, is like a martial artist who comes from a bad background, but is particularly talented.

Others will be stunned by his progress, praising him greatly.

But they won’t think that this kid can win first place in the world.

Xinyu loves me for my beauty; *Fu Mama* loves me for my privacy; Hong Tao loves me for what he wants from me.

Only Xia Fang and Jianjun know that he is currently not as good as even a single hair of Shi Yi in Chengbei.

In the future, he may only be able to compare with a few hairs.

Before I become the Holy Son of Eleventh High School, the champion of the Seven Sects competition, I still can’t enter the eyes of the Fourth High School *yeye* and First High School *yeye*.

It’s very simple, I’ll become a Venerable.

…………

Zhang Jianjun attended a meeting at the Municipal Education Bureau today, and then attended another bureau, had a meal with the bureau director and the deputy mayor, and then went home after finishing everything.

After telling his wife something, he went to the study and logged on to the WeChat account he used for work.

He saw three documents, namely Ke Jiayuan, Li Ran, and Shi Yi.

He clicked on Ke Jiayuan, who was first last time, and saw a total score of 698.

Compared to last time, it was directly 11 points less.

This is Ke Jiayuan, a student whose test paper difficulty will have a significant fluctuation on the total score.

The document showed that his scores had decreased in four subjects and increased in two subjects.

Math and physics were among the subjects that decreased.

But it’s not bad, he can get close to 700, he’s a celebrity no matter which school he goes to.

If the math and physics difficulties on the college entrance exam are simple, he might be even more terrifying than Shi Yi.

Closing the document, he clicked on Shi Yi’s.

Then, the slightly drunk him immediately sobered up.

The fingers that were clicking the mouse also froze.

No, no one can be more terrifying than Shi Yi.

For this senior class, I’m willing to go along with the twin prides of First High School.

But I don’t agree for the next class.

Shi Yi: 720
