Fu Zhi did not understand the meaning of this fight. After all, there was no difference between being 7th to last and 8th to last.
However, as a prideful man, Lu Yumo was not going to get any help from his little sister. He turned to her and said in a prideful voice, âYou just complete your paper when the exam starts. You donât need to tell the answers to me, and even if you do, I wonât accept it!â
Fu Zhi did not know what to say.
After a short while, Qian Wenrui walked into the examination hall. She smacked the stack of question papers on the table and said, âBefore the exam starts, remove everything thatâs unrelated to the examination and put it on the podium in front of me.â
Lu Yumo was wondering whether he should go sit on the podium himself or not.
Just like every other examination in No.1 High School, the Language test took place in the morning and the Math test took place in the afternoon.
Fu Zhi answered the question paper rapidly. She left out the essay part of the language paper and handed her answer sheet 30 minutes after the examination started. As for the Math paper, it took her no more than 20 minutes to finish answering all the questions.
Qian Wenrui treated her as the No.1 rival of Lu Chuwan and Lu Yubai. However, she heaved a sigh of relief and let out a sneer when she received Fu Zhiâs language paper answer sheet.
Time fluttered by rapidly, and the first day of the examination ended. Several students from Class 21 did not leave the school immediately, as they stayed back to discuss the answers.
Lu Yumoâs face was scrunched up as he walked behind Fu Zhi. âThis examination was too hard. Iâd memorized entire ancient poems, but you know what? I forgot the answers in the end!â
He paused for a while and then added in a nasal voice, âAs for the Math paper, I was completely lost after the third question...â
Meanwhile, Fu Zhi was messaging Xu Wei. When she heard what Lu Yumo had said, she replied without raising her head, âThe third question? You just needed to use the formula. It was very simple. If you had a brain, you would have known how to answer it.â
After she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a soft sob behind her. She then said, âWell, you donât have to feel too sad. There are only a few structured questions, so if you answered the fill-in-the-blank questions and the multiple-choice questions, you should beââ
âNo!â Lu Yumo interjected, his tears growing into heavy sobs as he said, âI mean, I was completely lost starting from the third question of the multiple-choice question part.â
Fu Zhi did not want to upset Lu Yumo anymore, so she pretended that she had not heard anything.
When they got into the car, Lu Jingqing asked, âHow was the exam?â
Lu Yumo replied, âIâm sorry, father.â
Lu Jingqing did not know what to say.
âOkay, that means heâs no longer 7th to last.â
Lu Jingqing felt like he was going to have a heart attack and shouted, âYou donât have to prepare dinner for me tonight! I donât have an appetite!â
âHuh?â Xu Wei, who was nibbling on an ear of corn with her daughter, lifted her head. âAre you sure about that?â
Lu Jingqing then replied with a sneer, âNo human would have an appetite after getting this kind of news!â
Xu Wei, who still had a great appetite and wished to eat a large bowl of rice, was left speechless. Her face turned dark, and she did not try to persuade him anymore.
At night, while the four of them were sitting around the dining table, Madam Lu sent a text message to Lu Jingqing and asked him to visit her because she was not feeling well.
Lu Jingqing paid her no mind. He sat alone on the couch and asked Fu Zhi, who was eating her dinner, âHow was your Math paper today, Zhizhi?â
Fu Zhi was stunned, but she answered honestly, âI guess I could get full marks.â
âVery good. Just like I expected.â
Lu Jingqing then said, âAlright, Iâll eat a bit for your sake.â
Fu Zhi did not know what to say.

On the second day, it was time for the English paper and the Science paper.
Fu Zhi did not complete the essay part of the English paper either. When the examination ended, she received a text message from Lu Jingqing.
Madan Lu was going to celebrate her 66th birthday in a month.
Since Lu Jingqing had not been taking care of the company for the last two weeks, the company had been losing money. Therefore, Madam Lu had decided to apologize to Lu Yumo.
