Chapter 1: 520 points controlled, school beauty girlfriend says she wants to break up.
In front of the senior high school building at Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School.
A large crowd gathered in front of the red list.
The results of the September school opening assessment are posted inside the glass display case.
Lin Yu stood on the outskirts of the crowd. He was very tall, his school uniform zipper was open, revealing a plain white T-shirt underneath. Beneath his neatly trimmed hair, his eyes were calm.
His gaze swept over the countless throngs of people, landing precisely on two spots.
Eighth place: Su Qingwan, total score 680.
300th place: Lin Yu, total score 520.
A smile tugged at the corner of Lin Yu's mouth.
Chinese 90, Math 105, English 105, Science 220.
The sum of these four numbers is exactly 520.
From the distribution of multiple-choice questions to the scoring steps for the essay questions, he spent two entire morning self-study sessions meticulously calculating the points deducted for each question. He even included the two points deducted from the Chinese composition for illegible handwriting in his calculations.
This was originally a surprise he had prepared as a confession to the girl named Su Qingwan.
It seems we won't need it now.
A scent of perfume wafted over.
The crowd automatically parted to create a path.
Su Qingwan stopped in front of Lin Yu. Her long, straight black hair fell over her shoulders, and her wide school uniform trousers were deliberately altered to fit her shapely calves.
The zipper of the school uniform was half-unzipped, revealing an expensive mid-range luxury brand inner layer.
The boys around them all turned their gazes toward them.
Su Qingwan looked up and gazed into Lin Yu's eyes.
"Lin Yu, you've seen the results, haven't you?"
Lin Yu twirled a black ballpoint pen in his hand. His slender fingers made the pen tip fly across his fingertips, leaving a trail of afterimages.
"I saw it, 520."
Lin Yu spoke in a languid tone.
Su Qingwan frowned, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
"You're already in your final year of high school, and all you've got in your head are these childish number homophones?" Su Qingwan took a deep breath. "Lin Yu, we're in our final year of high school now, we should prioritize the bigger picture."
Lin Yu paused, his fingers still holding the pen firmly between them.
"continue."
Su Qingwan bit her lip, her voice not loud, but loud enough for the several classmates around her who were listening intently to hear.
"In my future plans, I need a strong person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me, not a stepping stone who only knows how to study by rote and whose chances of even getting into a top-tier university are slim."
She paused, her tone becoming compassionate: "Over the past six months, I'm very grateful for the countless nights you stayed up to organize those error notebooks and review materials for me. They really helped me a lot. But I can't let you hold me back. We have to be responsible for our own future."
A murmur arose from the surrounding crowd.
"The school beauty has finally come to her senses."
"Lin Yu's grades are not good enough for Su Qingwan. She's a sure thing for getting into a top-tier university."
"A simp, a simp, in the end, he gets nothing."
Lin Yu looked at Su Qingwan.
Those complex mathematical models and profound physical laws were once his whole life. After entering his senior year of high school, he originally wanted to experience the youth of an ordinary person and, incidentally, fall in love.
So he devoted all his intelligence over the past six months to developing a plan to improve Su Qingwan's grades.
Su Qingwan's foundation was extremely poor, yet she managed to rank eighth in her grade entirely thanks to Lin Yu's tailor-made, comprehensive practice question bank, which followed the underlying logic of past national exam papers.
Now, she climbed up by stepping on Lin Yu's shoulders, then turned around and kicked the ladder away.
"Are you done talking?"
Lin Yu put the pen back in his pocket.
Su Qingwan was stunned.
She had imagined Lin Yu would break down, try to stop her, or even make a scene. But she never expected him to be so calm.
This gave her a sense of frustration, like punching cotton.
"Lin Yu, I hope you can mature a bit and face reality."
Su Qingwan emphasized her words.
Lin Yu chuckled softly.
"Your logic of betrayal is like discussing an unsolvable equation."
Su Qingwan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"Not only is it a waste of time, but it also doesn't yield any real roots."
Lin Yu stared into her eyes. "You think you've jumped to a higher level, but you're just standing in the coordinate system I drew for you. Outside of that coordinate system, you're nothing."
Su Qingwan's expression changed.
This feeling of being looked down upon made her extremely uncomfortable.
"Lin Yu, stop playing tricks. Scores are what matter. You got 520, I got 680. That's reality!"
"Well said."
A male voice interrupted.
Li Hao, dressed in well-tailored casual wear, slowly walked to Su Qingwan's side, toying with the Porsche car keys in his hand.
He glanced at the top of the red list.
First place: Li Hao, total score 695.
"Lin Yu, Qingwan is a kind girl and doesn't want to say anything too harsh."
Li Hao stood opposite Lin Yu, a smug smile on his lips. "The difference between people is determined the moment their intelligence is set. You can't even understand the final question in the math Olympiad, while I can do the mental calculation with just a glance."
Su Qingwan naturally moved closer to Li Hao.
The shortened physical distance indicates that the two had known each other for some time.
"The buttons on your Porsche key are badly worn, and there are polishing marks on the edges when you press them. You're using a retired second-hand car key from home to put on a show at school."
Lin Yu glanced at Li Hao's hand. "Also, your math score is 145. You lost five points on the last derivative problem."
Li Hao's face darkened.
"That's for the steps! I thought the process was too complicated, so I skipped three steps and wrote down the result directly. The examiner was just being old-fashioned."
Lin Yu shook his head.
"You're wrong. The L'Hôpital's rule you used doesn't satisfy the condition for the existence of a limit within that specific interval. Not only did you save three steps, but you even got the most basic domain wrong. The examiner deducted five points because they were afraid that deducting all the points would hurt your fragile self-esteem."
There was a moment of silence.
The top students from the science classes looked at each other in bewilderment.
L'Hôpital's Law?
"Isn't that advanced mathematics at the university level?"
Li Hao's facial muscles twitched. He had indeed tried to solve the problem using methods beyond the syllabus, but got stuck at a certain step. Only he knew this.
"You, a loser who only got 105 points, dare to comment on my test paper?"
Li Hao snorted coldly.
"To evaluate the cooling performance of a refrigerator, you don't need to know how to make it cool myself."
Lin Yu turned and walked towards the teaching building. "But you're right about one thing."
He stopped and turned his head.
"Senior year review is indeed boring. I'll show you what true intellectual superiority means."
Lin Yu's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Su Qingwan gripped the hem of her dress tightly.
She didn't like the look in Lin Yu's eyes just now. That indifferent gaze, as if looking at an ant, completely overturned the image of him who was always obedient and devoted to her.
"Ignore him, he's just being stubborn."
Li Hao patted Su Qingwan on the shoulder. "Next week is the city's first monthly exam. It's a real joint exam. A slacker like him will soon be exposed. Come on, let's go for a drive."
