Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 41: Ranking

After seeing Gu Xiqiao’s figure disappear up the stairs, Wu Hongwen stopped smiling and raised an eyebrow at Zhong Yongsi. “What, do you wanna fight?”

“No… Just tell her that I’m sorry.” Zhong Yongsi’s gaze cast to the ground, his tone embarrassed.

“Pfft…” Wu Hongwen swung his backpack onto his back and sneered at him. “Save it, she doesn’t need it!!”

He was initially angry at Zhong Yongsi, but he wasn’t the type to stab people in the back nor to take revenge, so he started to look for another way to help Gu Xiqiao out through the media later on. Before he could find a way to help, Gu Xiqiao herself seemed to have dealt with the problem, and if anything, the one in trouble now was Gu Xijin!

He wasn’t going to do anything more, but apologizing on Zhong Yongsi’s behalf? Dream on!

Seeing Wu Hongwen leave, Zhong Yongsi’s grip on his canvas tightened, before he walked towards the school art studio.

When Gu Xiqiao reached her class, her classmates were huddled at the podium. Every class teacher had gotten the report cards for their classes that morning, and Old Ban put it on the podium for everyone to see. As the students of the Parallel Class looked at it, they all didn’t know how to react.

The student that had the first place was naturally Gu Xiqiao, but her ranking in their grade was also the first place…

The first place in the entire grade?

In First City High, the Parallel Class had been historically the worst in terms of grades so they always got the least resources out of all the classes. The best teachers were sent to the other classes, and even their exam papers were slightly easier than average.

Back when there was news that a transfer student that was rumored to have had terrible grades, none of the other classes wanted her, so Gu Xiqiao was sent to the Parallel Class.

Now, this student got the best results in the school, even winning against the genius exam robot Luo Wenlang!

All of a sudden, everyone’s attention was gathered onto Gu Xiqiao.

“You got the first place in the entire school…” Xiao Yun was quite surprised too. Even though she knew that Gu Xiqiao was smart, she didn’t know that she was so smart that she could obtain near-perfect scores across the board. “How did you do it?”

Gu Xiqiao got to her seat and took out her books, flipping one open. “It’s not that much of a big deal, no need for the fuss.”

Gu Xiqiao’s English was so bad in her past life that she only got into B University because of her maths, but she had spent an entire lifetime studying, so it wasn’t strange that she obtained such a result.

“Gosh, are you being serious?” Xiao Yun looked at her own maths papers, before looking at the marks of the other classmates. “You can get full marks on this insanely hard paper?”

Xiao Yun had been proud of her maths in the past, but this pride of hers had been shattered as she started sitting next to Gu Xiqiao. She had already estimated that Gu Xiqiao would be able to get high marks, but she didn’t expect her to get full marks!

“Everyone improved this time around.” Gu Xiqiao smiled at her classmates that were crowding around her seat. “Our average maths grades are only second to the Rocket Class, so this is definitely a great improvement. Let’s continue with the good work until the finals come around!”

“You’re so smart it’s scary, Gu Xiqiao. Not only can you learn everything quickly, but you can also teach it better than most of our teachers too!” The class monitor squeezed into the crowd. “Sometimes I don’t even think you’re a human when I see the way you solve questions, it’s like you’re a supercomputer!”
