Chapter 103: The Third Wheel
Old Master Cheng didn’t know much about the school.
“Of course, Xiao Xiao is a celebrity in their school. I heard her classmates call her physics princess that day. I heard that a physics competition is about to start soon. Xiao Xiao has registered.”
“Is it the most famous Holy Land Cup physics competition in the country?”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s the one! Dad, you know about it, too.”
“This physics competition is reported on the news every year. How could I not know about it? This competition is amazing! Winning the first prize would be great!”
Old Master Cheng saw that the first prize winner of last year’s competition was awarded a house. That house was in the current prime location and could easily fetch tens of millions!
“Xiao Xiao’s is very good in physics. Her physics results are always ranked the top three in the whole class.”
Old Master Cheng was very relieved after hearing this.
“Cheng Xiao, this girl, is really good. Her results are good and she’s well-behaved.”
Xie Wan was very happy to hear Old Master Cheng praise Cheng Xiao.
She was not completely useless. At least, she had given birth to such a good granddaughter for the Cheng family.
“When Xiao Xiao comes back, I’ll ask her to contact the master of the Lu family.”
“I think it’ll work. The master of the Lu family treated our Xiao Xiao well last time.”
Xie Wan was good at coaxing people. She managed to coax Old Master Cheng in just a few moves.
“Yes, don’t worry about this matter.”
Old Master Cheng nodded. His mood was much better. With the support of his walking stick, he went to find someone to play chess with.
Xie Wan then heaved a sigh of relief.
Following Old Master Cheng’s side, she felt like she was accompanying a tiger. If she didn’t get along with him, she would be criticized.
In Yuya First High School…
It was Thursday and tomorrow would be Friday. Tomorrow was the deadline for the registration of the physics competition.
So far, many students from class one had signed up.
Everyone had the mentality of taking a gamble. They might be able to enter this Holy Land Cup physics competition. If they did, it was equivalent to half a foot stepping into a well-known university in the country.
Not only the students of class one, but many students of other classes also signed up. Of course, many of them were merely accompanying their friends.
After all, Gu Nan and Cheng Xiao, who were the best in physics in class one, had already signed up. They had already occupied two spots. The rest probably would need to fight for the third spot.
The physics class in class one had just ended. Sun Qi always had an ad-hoc class test after class. This time, Cheng Xiao was the first again in the class test. She was ahead of Gu Nan, and the two of them were only one point apart.
Right after class, Li Kui and a few female students surrounded Cheng Xiao and teased her.
“Xiao Xiao, you and Gu Nan are always one or two points apart. Both your names are always next to each other. If this isn’t fate, then what is it?”
Cheng Xiao seemed to enjoy the misunderstanding of others. She smiled and gently patted the classmate who spoke, looking like a shy girl.
“What are you talking about? We are just classmates.”
At this time, Gu Nan came over with an open physics exercise book.
“Cheng Xiao, I don’t understand what Teacher Sun said just now. Can you take a look? I just went to look for Teacher Sun, but he is not in the office.”
Gu Nan just came over to ask a question but Cheng Xiao’s classmates became even more excited. One after another, they cheered at them.
Cheng Xiao’s face became even redder.
Gu Nan was considered a popular figure in the entire school. When he was in his first year of high school, he had already been rated as the most handsome boy by all the girls. He was fair, delicate, and had the appearance of a graceful youth. His academic results were also good.
Although Gu Nan was not comparable with Lu Xiu, Cheng Xiao was willing to walk together with such a person and get the attention of everyone.
“Let’s go out and talk.”
Cheng Xiao stood up and walked to the corridor.
Gu Nan was holding the exercise book. Although he didn’t know why he had to go out as it was more convenient to explain it here, he still followed Cheng Xiao out.
“So we’re the third wheel. She wants to be alone with him.”
Gu Nan heard what the girls said and frowned, then turned around to look at them.
“Don’t talk nonsense. We’re just classmates.”
However, those classmates nodded meaningfully.
“We know. It’s just a simple relationship! We won’t talk nonsense.”
Gu Nan was a little speechless. What nonsense? He had nothing for people to talk about.
He shook his head. Tomorrow would be the preliminary for the physics competition. There were a few points that he didn’t quite understand. He had to figure it out, so he took the exercise book and went out to discuss it with Cheng Xiao.
