Chapter 110: It’s Just Exaggerated

Tan Mo nodded her agreement to her dad and then watched everyone leave until they disappeared from sight.

Then she went back to the dormitories with Ming Yeqing.

…

The next day, Tan Mo and the others had to go to class. Before the military training started, classmates were supposed to get to know each other.

Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi took the initiative to ask Tan Mo to go to the classroom with them, and Lin Fuxi followed.

Tan Mo entered the classroom, chose a spot to sit down, and watched everyone introducing themselves.

“I heard that the liberal arts top scorer in City B has also come to Beijing University. I wonder what major she chose.”

“Could it be Chinese literature?” some people speculated. “After all, her classical Chinese essay was really amazing.”

“I don’t know what her name is. The media only said that she was a girl, but they never reported her name, not even her last name, which is so strange.”

At this time, a boy saw Lin Fuxi, who had been silent and looked very shy, so he took the initiative to say, “Hello, my name is Guo Tailai, I’m from Jiaoping.”

“My name is Lin Fuxi and I’m from Jiaoping also,” Lin Fuxi whispered.

“Wow, then our two hometowns must be very close.” Guo Tailai was surprised and said with some awe, “Our two hometowns happen to be the places where the cutoff score for the college entrance examination is particularly high.”

“Yes.” Lin Fuxi had finally met someone who understood what she had been talking about, and she said, “It was too difficult for us to get in. I had a lot of classmates who had very good scores. If they had lived in City B, every one of them would have been able to get into Beijing University. But because they’re from Jiaoping…”

“Ah, the educational resources in City B are good, and the cutoff admission score is much lower than ours. It really can’t be compared.” Guo Tailai sighed.

When someone heard what they were talking about, they joined in, “How unfair.”

With that said, he turned his head to look around and said, “We don’t have anyone from City B in our class, do we?”

“We do.” Lin Fuxi quietly pointed to Tan Mo and said, “She’s from City B.”

“How enviable.” Guo Tailai sighed.

“Be quiet. Beware of being heard by her.” Lin Fuxi whispered, “She is my roommate. Yesterday I said I envied the candidates from City B and that I had taken the science exam. I said I would also like to try City B’s liberal arts exam questions to see what their level was. She got offended and tried to force me to write an essay on the spot…”

“Yo.” The person who had joined the conversation said, “She’s that serious? People who don’t know any better would think that she was the top scorer.

“By the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Zhao Youze.” The person who had joined the conversation later said.

“No way, she’s definitely not the perfect scorer. Regardless of the difficulty of the exam in City B, the perfect scorer indeed had a profound understanding of classical Chinese. With her capabilities, that person would probably major in Chinese.” A student sitting in the front turned around and said.

Everyone was chatting when a young female counselor walked in.

“Hello everyone, I am your counselor, and my surname is Hong.” The counselor wrote her name and her phone number on the blackboard. “You can write down my phone number or add my WeChat via my phone number. I will create a WeChat group later.

“I think everyone should have gotten to know each other by now. At least those in the same room, as well as classmates who are sitting together, have gotten to know each other by now, right?” Seeing everyone nodding, Ms. Hong said, “Let’s get to know everyone officially now. Starting from the first row on my right, everyone officially introduce themselves.”

“My name is Liu Tianxiang and I’m from Jiping. I scored third in the province on the liberal arts college entrance examination this time.”

“My name is Jiang Yishan, I’m from Liaoyuan. I scored second in the province on the science college entrance examination this time.”

The students introduced themselves one by one, and, finally, it was Tan Mo’s turn.

“My name is Tan Mo. I’m from City B, and I was the top scorer in City B on the liberal arts college entrance examination this time.” As for her getting a perfect score, everyone already knew it.

Tan Mo didn’t emphasize getting a perfect score. Otherwise, she would seem to be showing off and everyone would start to hate her.

Tan Mo didn’t have the self-awareness that she aroused the envy of her classmates, and she still thought that she was being low-key and not showing off.

When she said this, some people in the class suddenly choked and couldn’t speak.

Some people’s eyes widened, and they looked at Tan Mo in shock.

Others couldn’t help but gasp.

Lin Fuxi looked at Tan Mo. She had a constipated expression.

“City B?” Someone said in surprise, “I heard that City B’s top scorer for the liberal arts college entrance examination hadn’t reached adulthood yet.”

Teacher Hong smiled and said, “Yes, Tan Mo is only 15 years old this year.”

She had been admitted to Beijing University at the age of 15.

Even at Beijing University, which was full of overachievers, this was still an amazing feat.

Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi glanced at each other, and their faces became a little flushed.

Yesterday, they had introduced themselves and bragged in front of her.

However, Tan Mo was not only the perfect scorer, but she was also only 15 years old!

All of a sudden, they all seemed to pale in comparison.

Lin Fuxi lowered her head resentfully.

From Tan Mo’s family and her clothes, it was obvious that she had a good family background.

If she had been born in City B with such a good family background and with top-notch educational resources, she would definitely have been able to do it too.

With top-notch educational resources bought by money, as long as one isn’t a fool, one’s grades won’t be that bad.

Besides, Tan Mo studied liberal arts.

She just had to memorize knowledge.

It was unlike science, which was much harder.

City B’s top scorer for the college entrance examination isn’t impressive at all. It’s just exaggerated.

Lin Fuxi felt regretful. When Tan Mo and her friend had asked her to write an essay on the spot yesterday, she should have also asked Tan Mo to do her province’s science exam.

Only that would be fair.

Moreover, she would have been able to see what Tan Mo’s level was without the added advantages of City B.

She could also make Tan Mo clearly realize what level she is at and to stop constantly showing off her status as the top scorer of City B’s college entrance examination.

“See.” Lin Fuxi whispered with a little dissatisfaction, “I admit that Tan Mo’s classical Chinese level is high, and the essay she wrote is really excellent. It’s just that City B had a different exam paper, so even if it was judged, it was only done in the small area of City B. Just because there are no candidates in the small area of City B who wrote better essays than her does not mean that there are none in the country.

Lin Fuxi did not mention whether or not she could write better than Tan Mo. “Moreover, because City B had a different exam paper, the difficulty of the exam paper is also different from that of other provinces. Except for the essay, if Tan Mo did another set of exam papers, her score might be different.

“She might get a perfect score on the essay, but as for other questions, not necessarily.” Although Lin Fuxi’s voice was low, her words were clearly heard by four or five people around her.

Her small voice didn’t sound aggressive, but simply as if she was just stating a fact.

And the classmates around her who heard her talking felt that Lin Fuxi’s words weren’t unreasonable.

Tan Mo wasn’t sitting too far from her either, so she heard it too.
