Chapter 33: You Broke the Record as Soon as You Arrived?!

Just as Ye Luo was feeling overwhelmed with conflicting emotions, Yan Baba glanced over everyone’s grades, offering commentary as he went—

“Thank goodness, Beauty is dead last again!”

“Damn! Qi-ge, are you possessed or something? How come your score is 6666 again?”

“Whoa! Egg-sis, how did you get first place?! 130?! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!” Yan Baba was completely flustered. “Has anyone in our class ever scored as high as 130 before? You show up and break the record right away?!”

Ye Luo: “!!!”

Ye Wuqi snatched the grade sheet from Yan Baba’s hands. Seeing that Ye Luo really scored 130, he let out several exclamations of disbelief before turning to look at Ye Luo, utterly incredulous.

“Egg-sis, you didn’t copy Little Star’s answers, right? Even if you did, you couldn’t possibly score higher than Little Star. This means… you must’ve been secretly studying!” Ye Wuqi was absolutely certain.

Ye Luo: “……”

With grades like these, would she even need to study in secret?

Seeing he was still at the bottom of the class, Qiao Qingyang was finally at ease and allowed himself a smile. “I texted her the other day, told her to study even if she couldn’t come to class. She must have listened.”

Yan Baba immediately began teasing her with exaggerated winks, “Egg-sis, you really do whatever Beauty says, huh~”

Ye Luo: “……”

A misunderstanding!

This is a misunderstanding!

But maybe it’s best not to explain...

Lei Xingxing looked at her sincerely, “Egg-sis, you should help me out too. My grades are terrible, never even cracked fifty, and I don’t know if Chen Chen will still let me copy his homework in the future.”

Qian Xiaoxing hadn’t expected her to outscore him; at first he thought he was the top student, but when the grades came out, he was a bit embarrassed. Hearing Lei Xingxing ask for help, he chimed in softly, “Me too, help me out.”

Clearly, both Lei Xingxing and Qian Xiaoxing were eager to learn, just couldn’t get their grades up.

Ye Luo was at a loss for words.

Ye Wuqi laughed, “Alright, everyone’s seen the grades: Beauty is still dead last, Egg-sis isn’t last and even got first place. We shouldn’t call her Egg-sis anymore—like we agreed from the start. But with a record like this, we should commemorate it somehow. How about we call her Sister Luo from now on?”

Yan Baba jumped in, “Why not call her ‘Number One Sis’? First place—Number One Sis—fits perfectly!”

Ye Wuqi replied, “But there are so many exams to come. Can she really take first every time? If not, why call her that? Besides, constantly changing nicknames is annoying for everyone. Let’s stick with Sister Luo.”

Yan Baba thought that made sense and had no objections.

No one else objected either.

Ye Luo let out a small sigh of relief. At last, she’d gotten rid of the nickname “Egg-sis.” Whether they called her Sister Luo or Number One Sis, it didn’t matter.

But why did she have to have a nickname at all?

At that moment, Jiang Dabao, feeling very pleased, strolled over with hands behind his back. He stopped in front of her and, peering through his thick-rimmed reading glasses, looked her up and down with a beaming, kindly smile. Satisfied, he nodded and said warmly, “He Luo, you know, you have given me hope.”

Ye Luo: “……”

……

It wasn’t until seven o’clock that evening that Ye Luo finally left Seventh High, stepping into the car waiting at the school gate.

Uncle Tan, the driver, waited until she buckled her seatbelt before starting the engine.

Before the car reached the villa, Ye Luo could see from a distance that Uncle Wang was standing at the entrance, smiling broadly, as though waiting for something.
