City’s Best Divine Doctor
Chapter 54 - 54 54 First in the City

54: Chapter 54: First in the City 54: Chapter 54: First in the City Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu returned to the teaching building.

Ye Qiu parked his bicycle downstairs, and when they made their way to the classroom, he felt that many classmates were looking at him along the way.

Ye Qiu didn’t think much of it.

However, word had already spread that the results of the joint exam had come out and that the test papers for each subject would be gradually distributed today.

If any student found that their test paper had been incorrectly marked, they could go to the respective offices to correct it, but this would not change the ranking of this joint exam and the school’s overall ranking.

Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu entered the classroom.

As Liu Lingxiu returned to her seat, Ye Qiu was called out by Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming, and they went up to the rooftop of the building.

Li Shen took out a box of Soft Zhonghua, lighting a cigarette for each of Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhiming, and then one for himself.

“Ye Qiu, I heard the joint exam results are out,” he said.

Ye Qiu nodded without saying anything.

“But I heard that your scores were excellent this time.

Some of the subject representatives found out in the office,” Li Shen added.

However, neither Li Shen nor Zhu Zhiming could believe that Ye Qiu could score full marks, because previously, Ye Qiu was about the same as them, always at the bottom of the class.

They used to take turns being the last in class.

Now that it was said Ye Qiu had full marks in all subjects of the joint exam, they naturally didn’t believe it.

Ye Qiu still smiled.

He was very aware of his situation.

The three of them smoked and chatted on the rooftop until almost the first class when they came down.

Ye Qiu returned to his seat, and Su Luoluo came close, sniffing the air and realizing he had smoked again.

She frowned but said, “I heard your joint exam results were great.”

Ye Qiu ignored her.

One could say that in elementary, middle, and high school, academic performance was the most important aspect of a person, often more significant than looks or family background.

Previously, Ye Qiu was considered a loser by his classmates.

Partly because he was timid, lacked confidence, and had poor grades.

And it was likely that his poor grades contributed to his lack of confidence.

Of course, this was compared to other classmates of the previous Ye Qiu.

As for Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming, the reason why they weren’t like Ye Qiu was that they didn’t care about their grades at all.

But the previous Ye Qiu, on one hand, liked Su Luoluo and, on the other, wanted good grades, but it was simply impossible.

Over time, he became different from the other classmates.

Now that Su Luoluo heard about Ye Qiu’s excellent joint exam results, first, she certainly didn’t believe it, and second, she felt that the current Ye Qiu was very different from the previous one.

Seeing that Ye Qiu didn’t even glance at her, recalling last night’s grievance, Su Luoluo stopped paying attention to him.

The first class in the morning was Chinese, taught by the class teacher, Li Molian.

Li Molian came to the classroom door.

The students were very eager as they wanted to see their papers and grades.

However, the students were disappointed because Li Molian didn’t bring any papers and walked in empty-handed.

Standing at the podium, Li Molian glanced around and saw Ye Qiu reading a novel and said, “Ye Qiu, come out for a moment.”

Li Molian’s tone was still stern, no different from usual.

Liu Lingxiu immediately felt worried for Ye Qiu.

She thought it was because she had been getting too close to him, and now Li Molian was going to give him trouble.

After several calls from Li Molian, Ye Qiu finally looked up and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Come with me to the office.

I have something to ask you,” Li Molian said and walked out of the classroom.

Ye Qiu had no choice but to follow.

Watching Ye Qiu being called out by Li Molian, Su Luoluo felt a bit schadenfreude, but also realized feeling that way was not good.

As Ye Qiu passed by Liu Lingxiu, she looked at him worriedly.

“It’s nothing,”

Ye Qiu whispered to her.

Ye Qiu followed Li Molian to her office.

As he entered the office, he noticed that the other Chinese teachers were there too.

Of course, those teachers didn’t expect this boy to be Ye Qiu.

“Ye Qiu, come over here!”

Li Molian said.

Ye Qiu was no longer the old Ye Qiu.

If it had been the old Ye Qiu, he would have been too afraid to even lift his head in front of so many teachers, staring at his feet instead.

“These are your exam results!”

Ye Qiu looked over, and the results were even better than he had estimated.

He had thought he would lose a few points in each subject but ended up with full marks.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s unchanged expression, Li Molian was very surprised.

After all, this was a student who used to be at the bottom of the class.

Now, he was the top student in the whole city in this joint exam.

“Don’t you find it strange?”

Li Molian took off her thick, black glasses and looked at Ye Qiu as she asked.

“No,”

Ye Qiu replied calmly.

“Did you cheat on the exam?”

Li Molian looked at him seriously and asked.

“How could I cheat?

Who would I copy from?”

Ye Qiu asked coldly in return.

Li Molian thought about it.

Given that the second-highest-scoring student in the class, Su Luoluo, scored about a hundred points lower than Ye Qiu.

This was an average of twenty points less per subject, which was a significant difference.

How could Ye Qiu have cheated?

“Did you get the answers in advance?”

“Teacher, how could an ordinary student like me get the answers in advance?”

Ye Qiu coldly retorted.

Li Molian thought that made sense.

She just wanted to see if Ye Qiu had really cheated or would give himself away.

But his expression gave nothing away.

It seemed this joint exam result was genuinely achieved by Ye Qiu!

However, a student who had been at the bottom of the class was now the top student in the city, such a drastic change was hard for Li Molian to understand.

Unless there was only one possibility, that the old Ye Qiu had deliberately scored so poorly!

But Li Molian thought it was impossible for someone to hide their true ability for so long.

Why would Ye Qiu hide his true ability for so long?

“Teacher, is there anything else?

If not, I’ll go back to the classroom to keep reading my novel.”

Li Molian thought for a moment and said, “There’s nothing else, I’ll go back to the classroom with you.”

In a country where academic achievements were highly valued, Ye Qiu’s top ranking in the city had already significantly improved Li Molian’s impression of him.

So now, looking at him, she felt he was very different.

She picked up the Chinese test papers and the score records and headed to the classroom.
