Qin Shuang's voice attracted the crowd's attention.

Does that mean the results are good or not?

Just as they were deep in their pondering, they saw Xue Xi frown.

She was a little surprised. She felt that she had gotten all of it correct while she was doing them, so why were 12 marks deducted?

Alas, her expression was easily misunderstood.

Xue Yao instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

She thought that Qin Shuang must have been that surprised because the girl had scored below 100 marks. After all, her Mathematics were full marks during the pre-test.

Gloatingly, she peered at Fan Han and said in a hypocritical voice, "Cousin, don't be sad if you didn't get good results. After all, this is an Olympiad-level examination and the questions are exceptionally hard. There are many people who score less than 100."

Old Liu had high expectations of Xue Xi, but he was still stunned when he heard this. He repressed the disappointment he felt inside and reassured her, "Xue Xi, don't feel dejected!"

Fan Han raised his chin and turned to look at the girl, feeling smug inside.

Indeed, it is impossible without going through proper Olympiad training! I must have made a mistake in the pre-test last time and so she scored higher. Now, it is time that I displayed my prowess.

Mhm. With this now, Xue Xi should acknowledge me already, right?

The rest of the people who disliked Xue Xi also wanted to chime in, but when they recalled her grand entourage this morning, they promptly swallowed their words.

Soon, a few of them lowered their heads and anonymously posted on the school's forum.

Live stream! The results are out! A certain someone flopped!

?? Waiting for the actual scores!

Study-God image crumbling?

Scores! Report the scores!

The forum was in an uproar. Meanwhile, Qin Shuang was still in a state of shock, and the little girl who was usually gossipy and talkative gulped.

It's already good enough for an average person to score 88 marks for Olympiad questions!

Xue Yao smiled and said, "The average person usually just gets below 100. So, Cousin, how many marks did you get?"

Xue Xi did not reply, but Qin Shuang had already shouted, "288!"

"What? Did I hear wrongly or did you say wrongly?"

"You reported an extra 100 marks, right? 188 sounds more reasonable."

"288 marks? You must be joking! Qin Shuang, you're just talking big!"

"Shouldn't it be 88 marks?"

Fan Han and Xue Yao widened their eyes in disbelief, thinking that Qin Shuang must have misspoke...

Old Liu had already rushed over to Xue Xi's side with a look of surprise. "Xue Xi, how many marks did you get?"

The girl passed her phone over to him. After snatching the phone over, Old Liu felt that his eyes must have cheated him. Hence, he rubbed his eyes roughly and stared at the phone again. Although the phone display was not as huge as a computer's, the numbers were still very clearly displayed: 288 marks!

Xue Xi, who automatically ignored the crowd's discussion, slowly asked, "Mr. Liu, did I get poor results?"

Old Liu: "??"
