'How did you know that's what I'm afraid of...?'
This was practically a confession. It made Xu Su more uncomfortable than if he had just said, "I like you."
In Teacher Wu's car, Fu Jun was already waiting.
He had a long face. The moment he saw Xi Zirong, he asked, "God Xi, how did you solve the second problem?"
He rattled off his thought process for solving it, clearly insecure about his answer. He had just asked Teacher Wu about it, too.
But, still not satisfied, he wanted to confirm it with Xi Zirong.
Xi Zirong paused for a moment before explaining his steps.
Xu Su listened to the whole explanation, her eyes growing brighter and brighter. At least for this problem, her answer was the same as Xi Zirong's.
'Right, the exam was hard, but it wasn't just hard for me.'
'I was stumped, but so were the other students. Maybe I actually have a chance at a provincial first-prize award? Or even a second-prize award would be fine.'
