Chapter 120: Don’t Ever Expect It in This Lifetime!

Because the first-place score was a perfect score!
750!!!
"Who is this Ye Luo? Do we even have a student by that name in our school? I've never heard of her." As soon as Teacher Li, the head teacher of the elite Science Class 1, recovered from his shock, he asked with bewilderment.
Someone pointed at the score sheet and said, "Doesn't it list the class right there? 19... what, Class 19?!!!"
"Are you joking?" Another teacher remarked, skeptical. But when he looked down and saw that Ye Luo was indeed from Class 19, he blurted out a curse word immediately.
The other teachers were equally stunned.
The next second, they all turned their eyes toward Jiang Dabao.
Jiang Dabao was still in a daze himself. He had proctored four of Ye Luo's exams and knew she had performed very well, but he never expected her to take the top spot in the entire grade.
And she had achieved a perfect score in every subject—not a single point missed.
...
The next day, at the gates of No. 7 High School, Ye Luo had just stepped out of her car when she saw Gong Ran also arriving at school.
Ignoring her as if she were invisible, Ye Luo walked toward the school gate, but the moment Gong Ran stepped out of her own car, she rushed over and grabbed Ye Luo.
"He Luo, look, the monthly exam results seem to be posted." Gong Ran pointed toward the school's bulletin board, her face full of smugness.
A large crowd of students was gathered around the bulletin board, checking the scores.
Ye Luo didn't even look toward the board; she simply lowered her eyes, calmly watching the hand that Gong Ran still had clamped onto her arm.
Sensing something, Gong Ran had the inexplicable illusion that if she didn't pull her hand back, it might be broken, which startled her into retracting it instantly.
The next second, feeling that she had been too cowardly, she immediately shouted, "What are you acting so tough for? Aren't you still just a bottom-feeder? Handing in your papers so quickly—are you in such a rush to die?"
As she spoke, she pointed at the bulletin board again, her face glowing with triumph: "Everything posted there is the top hundred in the entire school. If you don't make the top hundred, you don't even have the right to be on that list!"
Gong Ran then mocked her unkindly: "Don't ever count on it in this lifetime; you'll definitely never make it onto that list!"
Ye Luo couldn't be bothered to deal with Gong Ran. She bypassed the girl blocking her path and entered the school gate.
Gong Ran didn't try to stop her, but followed along at her side, continuing to sneer with a sense of superiority: "I'm different from you. I make this list every single time, and I'm sure this time will be no exception!"
Just then, she saw a girl from her class pushing her way out of the crowd at the bulletin board. Clearly having checked the scores, Gong Ran immediately waved at her: "Hey, Lingling!"
"Hey, Ranran!" As soon as the girl named Lingling saw Gong Ran, she ran over.
Gong Ran asked excitedly: "How is it? Have you seen the results? How did I do?"
Lingling smiled and said: "You did very well this time, too. A total score of 714, coming in third in the whole school."
Hearing that she had scored over 700 again, Gong Ran felt even more pleased, but upon realizing she was only third, she exploded: "What's going on? Wasn't I second this time?!"
Lingling looked a bit frightened and said tremblingly: "Second place is Shen Jing."
"What?!!!" Gong Ran's eyes widened, as if she hadn't heard correctly. "Shen Jing is second? Then who is first? I've never been able to beat Shen Jing—who has that kind of talent?!"
Lingling replied: "Someone named Ye Luo."
"Ye Luo?" Gong Ran paused. Wasn't that the name her mother had mentioned, saying that the loser Gong Lü was in love with someone named Ye Luo?
Hearing her own name, Ye Luo acted as if she hadn't heard a thing and continued walking forward.
Gong Ran, however, had no interest in whether Ye Luo was walking further and further away; she had already stopped in her tracks to continue talking with Lingling.
