She remembered that both of them were students from Class 1. She knew quite a bit about Zhu Yanyi, especially that she had ranked first in the city for the transition from elementary to middle school, which is why she was specially recruited into the city middle school. She never expected Zhu Yanyi to have such ability. Cheng Chen also surprised her. However, her face was full of joy.
"You flatter me," he said with a smile. "I didn't know they had this capability. I originally thought they were just here to join the fun."
The principals from other schools gave him fierce looks. Hmph. You show off, and then pretend to be modest. But no one knew this was Principal Liu’s honest truth.
Thirty minutes passed. All the test papers were collected. The students began discussing among themselves. The results would be announced on the spot after grading. Since there were not many people present, and the answers were already prepared, the teachers on site could help. Soon, the results came out. Besides Zhu Yanyi and Cheng Chen, one other person got a perfect score. This person was named Luo Fuxin, the son of the education officer.
The other students did not do as well. Some guessed correctly, but very few got more than half of the ten questions right. Zhu Yanyi, Cheng Chen, and Luo Fuxin all scored fifty points, the total for the test. Next, everyone was told to rest. The afternoon would begin with a rapid-fire quiz competition.
Zhu Yanyi saw that the morning events were nearly over. She told the principal and went with Cheng Chen to find her sister, Zhu Yanli. The principal knew Zhu Yanyi’s sister was entering the first year of City No. 1 High School this year. She couldn't help but sigh at the intelligence of the Zhu sisters. Otherwise, how could they achieve such good results?
Zhu Yanyi found Class 2, Grade 10. It was currently break time. She quickly found Zhu Yanli. Zhu Yanli was sitting in the third row, head down, writing something. Zhu Yanyi smiled and called out, "Sister."
Zhu Yanli, who was originally doing problems, heard the familiar voice and looked up. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, she smiled and hurriedly put down her pen, running out. "Ani, why are you here? Aren't you in school?"
"A-Nan Jie," Cheng Chen also greeted.
"Cheng Chen is here too. You two didn't skip class, did you?" Zhu Yanli asked, worried.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "Sister, you underestimate me too much. Isn't there a middle school knowledge competition in the City No. 1 High School auditorium today? Brother Cheng Chen and I are here to compete. The morning competition is over, and we are waiting for the afternoon. So we came to find you. Do you still have class?"
"Yes, I have one more class before it ends. Why don't you go play by yourselves? I will find you after class and school ends. We will eat lunch together. I will treat you to noodles. There is a place nearby that makes good noodles," Zhu Yanli said with a smile.
"Okay, go prepare for class. You don't need to worry about us. Brother Cheng Chen and I will walk around No. 1 High School. I will also take the exam to get into No. 1 High School in the future," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
Zhu Yanli nodded with a smile, waved to Zhu Yanyi, and walked back into the classroom. At this moment, the bell for class had already rung. Zhu Yanyi and Cheng Chen began to tour City No. 1 High School.
"I heard City No. 1 High School has many children of officials and military officers, which is why it is valued," Cheng Chen said, looking at Zhu Yanyi with a smile, sharing some news she had heard.
Zhu Yanyi waved her hand, then looked unconcerned. "Who cares about what generation they are? It has nothing to do with us. We just need to rely on our own ability to get in."
