Chapter 53: What Is DHA?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When one of the students overheard this, he promptly inquired, “What’s DHA, and what else are you referring to? I consumed copious amounts of food during my youth, yet I lacked the audacity to partake in such endeavors.”
Another student interjected, “You ingested sustenance, only to expel it later. Others consumed it and absorbed its essence.”
Bai Xue, attempting to subdue her emotions, remained seated while discreetly reaching for her phone to check for herself.
As her gaze fell upon the score, Bai Xue rose in utter astonishment. Jiang Ling’er was undeniably placed first. How could this be?
After recomposing herself, Bai Xue pretended to be happy and said, “Wow, Ling’er got first place. Hard work pays off. Ling’er, your hard work has paid off.”
Wen Nuan mockingly quipped, “Of course! That goes without saying at all that she would emerge top. No need to check.”
“Well, since she participated, it’s only natural to check the results anyway,” Bai Xue stiffly replied.
At that moment, a young man seated beside Jiang Ling’er interjected, “Out of the 108 students who participated in our school, only 26 of them passed. Do you suppose Yue Ling’s performance will surpass those from the Mathematics Department?”
Bai Xue turned her gaze towards him, her eyes alighting upon a handsome and charismatic figure. She instinctively donned a radiant smile and uttered, “Ling Ling has always excelled academically.”
If Yue Ling passed, it would present an opportunity for her to propose a best-of-three challenge.
Following that, Bai Xue started to check the result list again. Among the 26 people who had passed, there was no one with the surname Yue. There was not even a homonym.
Yue Ling’s heart was on the brink of implosion. How could Jiang Ling’er have claimed the top position? How could this be? Yue Ling sat helplessly on the chair. Her expression was very ugly. How could the outcome have taken this turn? She yearned to unleash a primal roar and vent her anger, but her voice seemed to have abandoned her, rendering her speechless.
At this moment, Bai Xue was also extremely resentful. Jiang Ling’er, this b*tch, how did her brain suddenly become so good? She was also so difficult to deal with nowadays.
Bai Xue had no desire for Jiang Ling’er to bask in the limelight at their school, yet fate had a different plan. Upon the school’s announcement of the results, not only would Jiang Ling’er revel in acclaim, but her previous reputation as a slacker would also be effectively discarded.
Observing the fool, Yue Ling, who believed her own results to be favorable, only to discover she had failed the examination, Bai Xue’s anger mounted.
Just as she teetered on the edge of losing control, a sudden recollection jolted her. Wen Nuan had previously provided Jiang Ling’er with a document, emphasizing its elusive nature. Could that document contain the answers?
Inspired by this realization, Bai Xue crafted a smile, albeit forced, and said, “Ling’er, congratulations on attaining the qualifications to partake in the competition.”
“Save your fake smile,” Jiang Ling’er retorted. “Your smile is more ghastly than tears.”
Jiang Ling’er had no intention of granting Bai Xue any satisfaction. She understood that Bai Xue couldn’t tolerate anyone surpassing her.
Bai Xue adjusted her disposition and feigned aggrieved eyes as she responded, “Ling’er, please refrain from misconstruing my intentions. I genuinely rejoice in your success.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and promptly exposed Bai Xue’s facade, saying, “Don’t put on a sad face in front of everyone. I just said that your smile was too ugly. I didn’t say that your congratulations were fake.”
Bai Xue bit her lip, suppressing the anger within. She replied, “Ling’er, as long as you don’t misunderstand me, that’s all 1 ask. I’m just afraid you’d misunderstand me.”
The homeroom teacher cleared his throat, interjecting, “Alright, let’s cease this discussion. Silence, everyone! We are still in class. If you wish to converse, kindly wait until after class.”
Upon hearing this, the class fell into a hushed silence.
The homeroom teacher expressed his satisfaction with their compliance, continuing, “Student Jiang, congratulations on getting first place.”
“Thank you, Teacher,” Jiang Ling’er graciously replied. “This is only my first step. Many more exams await.”
Jiang Ling’er’s modesty gratified the teacher, who responded, “Very well, I extend my advance wishes for your continued success.”
“Thank you, Teacher,” Jiang Ling’er expressed her gratitude.
The teacher nodded and announced, “Alright, let us resume our lesson.”
In truth, when the teacher saw Jiang Ling’er’s results, he was also shocked. In the past, everyone thought that Jiang Ling’ er was just a pretty vase, compounded by various rumors. No one harbored high expectations for her. However, as of late, Jiang Ling’er had employed her abilities to astound and confound all, seemingly slapping everyone in the face.
After yesterday’s exam, the teachers congregated in the faculty room to discuss the test papers. It was rumored that the difficulty level was exceptionally high, with several questions proving particularly challenging.. If such results were accurate, who would dare to say that Jiang Ling’er was a good-for-nothing?
