I Might Have Fallen in Love With My Childhood Sweetheart

Chapter 112: Chapter 108: Ultimate Benefit

It wasn’t until the next day’s class that Old Wu revealed the ultimate reward for this physics competition.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Old Wu’s eyes lit up excitedly as if they were shining: "The six professors who participated in the competition should already have left an impression on the students, right? They are professors from B University, Q University, and F University."

A buzz rose from the students who hadn’t participated in the competition.

Old Wu was quite pleased with this reaction, he cleared his throat and continued: "Each of these six professors excels in their own field, and those students who could participate in this competition are very fortunate indeed. If one of them takes an interest in you, then—"

Old Wu scanned the classroom with his eyes before slowly releasing a bombshell piece of news: "Then, you’ll have the chance to be recommended by the professor to attend their school!"

"Ah! Ahhh!"

"Wow! Wow!"

A wave of exclamations and strange cries filled the room, and the eyes of several students who hadn’t participated were red with envy.

In recent years, F High had only produced one God Ji, who was enrolled at B University due to his math skills. But truly, the heights God Ji reached were divine and beyond their envy.

For some students in class one with inconsistent grades, these three prestigious universities were out of reach.

Although F University’s reputation was slightly less prominent compared to Q University and B University, its entrance scores were only next in line to those two, making it one of the well-known institutions in the country.

Especially Ye Zheng, upon hearing this news, was first stunned and then began to cry on her desk.

Only Li Qingran and Xie Ying’an, who were deskmates, had no reaction upon hearing the news.

Xie Ying’an was even daydreaming while staring at a book.

Li Qingran also felt that the recommendation was not very interesting. She wanted to rely on her own abilities in next year’s college entrance exam; wherever her abilities took her would be the ideal school.

Old Wu had to clap the blackboard several times before the classroom gradually quieted down.

"Don’t get too excited too early, students. This competition is undoubtedly cruel. The preliminary round may advance half of the participants, but the next semi-final will only advance one-tenth of the number to the final..."

Of the five students from class one this time, only Li Qingran, Xie Ying’an, and Wen Shiyi were promoted. The other two students who had prepared for the physics competition were eliminated.

After class, several classmates went to comfort Ye Zheng.

Zheng Chunming and Ruan Ruan huddled together, gossiping, "I don’t know where some people get the face to cry. It’s like she had any chance of advancing if she participated."

Even Li Ce couldn’t resist chiming in: "I roughly calculated the average ranking of the twenty or so people advancing. It seems that they are all within the top thirty-five."

Li Ce didn’t lower his voice deliberately when he said this. As soon as his words fell, the bustling classroom suddenly fell silent, making Ye Zheng’s crying even more conspicuous.

Even the two other participants who had a better ranking than Ye Zheng didn’t make it, and the three from class one who did advance were in the top three of the grade.

In this light, Ye Zheng’s crying became particularly ironic.

The few girls with average grades who gathered around her desk to comfort her felt extremely uncomfortable under the ambiguous looks from the other classmates. One by one, they found excuses to quickly leave Ye Zheng’s side, and upon returning to their own seats, they couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for Ye Zheng.

What Li Ce said made sense; the three who advanced from class one were all within the grade’s top three. What right did Ye Zheng have to cry? Even if she had participated and passed the preliminary round, could she have passed the semi-finals?

The classmates comforting Ye Zheng gradually left, and after a while, Huang Qianyu suddenly burst into ’haha’ laughter.

In the quiet classroom, it was particularly jarring.

Chen Xiweng, who was the most perceptive, was the first to react. She turned her head to look at Huang Qianyu’s seat and asked with a smile, "Qianyu, what’s so funny?"

Huang Qianyu raised an eyebrow, her gaze casually passing over Ye Zheng who was two desks in front of her: "I’m laughing at how some people in our class have thicker skin than even me. Although I don’t agree with everything about Li Qingran, at least regarding academics, she leaves me with nothing to say. Not like some people, haha, who don’t know their own weight!"

"Qianyu, who are you referring to as ’some people’?" Chen Xiweng pretended not to understand Huang Qianyu’s comment.

Huang Qianyu’s chin tilted forward slightly, such a gesture was not just a hint, it was downright naked, clearly telling everyone that she was talking about Ye Zheng.

The classmates: "..."

True to her reputation as the notorious Huang Qianyu of Class One.

Zheng Chunming withdrew his curious gaze and whispered to his deskmate, "Toilet paper, I’m suddenly appreciating Huang Qianyu’s style. At least when she does something bad, she doesn’t do it sneakily."

Huang Qianyu always straightforwardly tells everyone that whatever it is, she did it. So what?

Unlike Ye Zheng, a green tea bitch who only knows to cry and wail when encountering issues, trying to gain everyone’s sympathy with a pretense of being weak and righteous, that simply makes one’s stomach turn.

Even if Ye Zheng knew Huang Qianyu was talking about her, she didn’t have the courage to confront Huang Qianyu head-on like Qingran did.

She just hid behind her books, her tears now falling even harder.

Ye Zheng’s deskmate turned away, not looking at her, and inwardly snorted disdainfully, thinking how unluckily pitiful it was to share a desk with someone like Ye Zheng.

Completely forgetting that, in those few minutes after the teacher finished speaking, they were still jealous of Qingran, uttering a bunch of provocative words in front of Ye Zheng.

Like "What a pity, Zheng Zheng, if you had participated in the competition, maybe you would have been the one with an assured spot at a prestigious university" or "Li Qingran is just lucky, even such an opportunity fell into her lap."

After coming back from this competition, Wen Shiyi was unexpectedly quiet.

She spent her days buried in her seat doing practice problems, not even bothering to respond to Huang Qianyu’s provocations.

This ’I watch as you jump around performing’ attitude of Wen Shiyi’s frustrated Huang Qianyu to no end.

After returning this time, Qingran also lost her curiosity about Lin Zhou.

Such a refined and cultured man, ostensibly indifferent to everything, yet seeming to bury everything deep in his heart and eyes, Qingran still couldn’t fathom how such a man agreed to Mr. Li’s request to take care of Li Qingran for a lifetime.

After evening self-study and returning home, Qingran continued to do problems until ten o’clock, when she promptly chased out Xie Ying’an and Li Qingmo who had come over under the pretense of doing homework together.

She was getting ready for bed, but before that, she habitually checked her phone, which she hadn’t looked at for several days.

Just one glance, and she was stunned, holding her phone unsure of what to do.

The screen of the phone she opened displayed a sentence—

God Ji is coming back!

It even included a smiley emoji with a victory sign.

The message was from Senior Ji He, and it was sent at 9:16 a.m. today.

After Qingran came to her senses, she even forgot to reply to Ji He’s message.

She placed the phone on the nightstand, pulled the thin blanket over her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.

She still remembered some plots from the book quite clearly; it was said that Ji Yanchen went abroad for treatment and wouldn’t return until after three years.

How long has it passed since then? Why is Ji Yanchen coming back now?

Did she remember the plot wrong, or are some of the plots truly changing uncontrollably?

As the night grew darker, the news of Ji Yanchen’s return didn’t make Qingran feel sleepless through the night.

She suddenly doubted why, from the moment she saw Wen Shiyi, she was sure she had transmigrated into a book?

If it wasn’t for transmigration, then how could the subsequent known plot be explained?

Qingran closed her eyes, trying hard to recall fragmented memories of her past life, but all she saw was darkness, and the only thing she could hear was the piercing sound of brakes.
