Chapter 28 The Meaning of "Diudiu"
Chapter 28 The Meaning of "Diudiu"
There's a butterfly effect at play—Yu Baiwei scored 663 points!
Her results are definitely better than the original timeline.
Why is Zeng Cheng so certain?
Because he remembered very clearly that the top scorer in the 2009 Sichuan Province College Entrance Examination was not from the No. 4, No. 7, or No. 9 High Schools in the provincial capital, nor from Mianyang High School, where top scorers were concentrated, but from Bazhong No. 1 High School.
The score is over 650, definitely not 660.
In other words, Yu Baiwei will be the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination in Sichuan Province!
What does it mean to be terrifyingly bad?
This is truly terrifying!
Zeng Cheng began to ponder the reasons behind the butterfly effect.
Speculation quickly arose.
He probably provided Yu Baiwei with a lot of emotional support during this period. With her in a good mood, she performed better in the college entrance examination and went from third in the province to the top scorer.
Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of you, Yu Baiwei.
Just as they were reflecting on this, Li Xingzhi called, and after chatting for a while, the two brothers learned about each other's grades.
Upon learning that Zeng Cheng had achieved 118th place in the province, Li Xingzhi was completely convinced and gave Zeng Cheng the highest praise among men—"Brother Cheng, you're amazing."
Li Xingzhi actually performed quite well, scoring over 540 points, which is about 50 points above the first-tier university admission line. Getting into a 211 university should be no problem—for example, Southwest Jiaotong University.
"Okay, I can't take it anymore, time for bed, bye-bye—"
After hanging up with Li Xingzhi, Zeng Cheng yawned as he returned to his room and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
Silent all night.
Before 7 a.m., the class group chat for Class 6 of the 2009 cohort started buzzing, and by 8 or 9 a.m., after most people had gotten up, it was even more lively.
Zeng Cheng slept in late, not getting up until almost ten o'clock.
By opening my phone and browsing through the QQ group's historical messages, I can roughly tell how many points my classmates scored.
He's definitely number one in the class.
The second is Luo Wenjuan, who used to be the undisputed top student in the class. Her performance was average, ranking over 180th in the province. She had no chance of getting into Tsinghua or Peking University, but could choose any other school.
The third place went to Qi Jiahao.
Our Jiahao is actually very strong; the third mock exam didn't reflect his true ability.
With his grades, he could get into a mid-to-upper-tier 985 university, such as Nankai or Tongji, or any university and major within Sichuan province.
Fourth is Xia Ning, who can get into Sichuan University, but cannot choose her major at will.
Perhaps it was the inspirational speech Ms. Ye gave us before the college entrance exam that helped the students in my class perform quite well this time, with many achieving scores a level higher than usual.
After quickly glancing through the messages, Zeng Cheng noticed that Qi Jiahao had tagged him.
[Senior Vice Head Teacher of Class 6, Grade 12: @Zeng Laoshi, Zeng Cheng, how did you do on the exam? Why haven't you said a word today? Did you do badly?]
It's obvious that Qi Jiahao, who performed exceptionally well, wanted to find a sense of superiority with Zeng Cheng.
This quickly attracted many replies.
"Zeng Cheng failed the exam? No way, he did so well on his third mock exam..."
"That's hard to say. The third mock exam is the third mock exam, and the actual college entrance exam is the actual college entrance exam. Besides, the math exam was really difficult this time. He might have messed up the math exam, and then his mentality would be affected, causing him to mess up the science and English exams the next day as well..."
"That's certainly a possibility."
As the discussion continued, almost all the students thought Zeng Cheng had failed the exam.
[Sisi is a beautiful girl: @Zeng Laoshi, Zeng Cheng, you didn't really fail the exam, did you?]
[The Executive Vice Head Teacher of Class 6, Grade 12: Qian, this guy definitely bombed the exam, otherwise why wouldn't he dare to say a word? But he can retake it, and try to get into Tsinghua or Peking University next year!]
"Qi Jiahao, do you have any ulterior motives? Even if Zeng Chengzhen failed the exam, you can't gloat over it."
"Ms. Qian, we may be close, but don't slander me!"
Zeng Cheng just watched and didn't bother to send a message.
Show off your achievements and slap Qi Jiahao in the face?
Your brother Cheng has the stars and the sea in his heart, how could he be so bored?
Let Qi Jiahao seek attention if he wants to. In a few years, when this kid truly matures, he'll look back and feel ashamed.
At this point, Li Xingzhi spoke.
【缒闏こ尐姩う: Qi Jiahao, who told you Cheng-ge bombed the exam? Cheng-ge scored around 630, almost making it into the top 100 in the province. This math exam was so difficult, yet he got a perfect score. Are you even qualified to carry Cheng-ge's shoes?】
The cool and arrogant QQ nickname "Li Xingzhi" is clearly from the same series as Zeng Cheng's previous nickname "Stubborn Man".
These words successfully silenced the once bustling class QQ group.
For at least two minutes, there was no new message.
[Sissi is a beautiful girl: Li Xingzhi and Zeng Cheng are that awesome? Then wouldn't he be able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University?]
Until Xiao Qian broke the eerie silence.
Like the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe, the class group chat instantly went from heat death to boiling.
"Holy crap, holy crap, Zeng Cheng is that awesome?"
"A perfect score on the college entrance exam in mathematics?"
"Zeng Cheng is very likely to be in the top ten in the city!"
"He could even get into Tsinghua or Peking University!"
Dezhou No.1 High School gathers the best students in the city. If a student can rank in the top ten in Dezhou No.1 High School, they can usually rank in the top ten in the whole city.
Class 6 of the 2009 cohort was a key class, with an experimental class ahead of it. Even a student as outstanding as Luo Wenjuan could only rank in the thirties in the grade in every exam.
Zeng Cheng's grades were terrifying to his classmates; they were something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
After all, only about ten students from the entire Dezhou No. 1 High School can reach the admission score of Tsinghua and Peking Universities each year.
Seeing the messages constantly flooding the group chat, Qi Jiahao, who had been gloating, instantly lost all his joy.
He stared intently at his phone screen, gritting his teeth, his face contorted with rage, as if he wanted to smash the phone!
However, no action was taken.
I just bought a Nokia N97, it cost over six thousand yuan!
Zeng Cheng chuckled to himself, thinking, "Zhi Liao, you're really something. If our Jiahao wants to feel important, just let him. Why slap him in the face? What if this guy's Dao heart collapses? He'll just have to go running around in circles again..."
Of course, Zeng Cheng wasn't worried about Qi Jiahao; he was worried about the track—what if this guy trampled it?
After shaking his head, Zeng Cheng sent a message in the class group.
[Zeng Laoshi: Congratulations everyone on the exam! You all did very well.]
[Sisi is a beautiful girl: Wow, Zeng Cheng, you finally showed up! You actually did so well on the exam! I've decided, from now on you're my idol, and I'm going to have your babies!]
[Zeng Laoshi: Let's have a litter of babies, Qian Meimei!]
Xia Ning was also watching the screen. When she saw this, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and curse Xiao Qian countless times, calling her a "slut."
After hesitating for a moment, she also typed out a line of text.
【Summer Green: @Zeng Laoshi, Zeng Cheng, shall we go swimming together tomorrow?】
Xia Ning wanted to send a private message to Zeng Cheng.
However, Zeng Cheng had deleted her QQ account long ago and hadn't added her back after so many days.
She openly invited Zeng Cheng in the group chat, her tone even somewhat humble. For someone as proud and arrogant as her, it's hard to imagine how much determination she had made or how much mental preparation she had done.
Zeng Cheng replied very politely, "Xia, I can't go any further. I can't swim; I've been afraid of water since I was a child."
Xia Ning did not send any more messages.
In order to repair her relationship with Zeng Cheng, she has been very humble lately, but her humility is not without limits.
Since Zeng Cheng wouldn't go, Xia Ning had no choice but to ask Mu Jiajia to accompany her—she really wanted to go swimming.
Then the two sisters set the time for 2 pm tomorrow, when the sun is at its hottest.
Zeng Cheng had just rejected Xia Ning when he received a message from Yu Baiwei.
It wasn't a QQ message, but a text message.
"Zeng Cheng, guess where I am!"
"Then I'll reluctantly guess. I guess you've already returned to China, most likely at Shuangliu Airport. You probably sent me the message as soon as you got off the plane."
"Hmm, how did you know?"
"Yu Baiwei, do you really think I'm that stupid? You sent me a text message, you can't exactly say that China Mobile's business has expanded to London, can you?"
"Hmph, you're smart for once."
"I've always been smart! Tell me, why did you go back to China so soon? I thought you were going to stay in London for another ten days or two weeks."
"I won't tell you now—but I have something else to tell you right away!"
"What is it?"
I miss you a tiny bit.
Looking at such sincere and heartfelt words, Zeng Cheng felt an irrepressible tingling sensation in his heart.
After a moment of contemplation, he asked Yu Baiwei a question he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"I've noticed you really like to say 'a tiny bit,' so how much exactly is your 'tiny bit'?"
"one third."
"Does it mean anything?"
"Although not many, it's an infinite loop."
