Chapter 146: The Wronged Qin Yanran

  Just a moment ago, Su Lin was still watching Qin Yanran and Lin Qingxue chatting and laughing, but as soon as he came over, Qin Yanran's expression changed. She looked at him coldly, as if she were looking at a stranger, as if she didn't know Su Lin at all.

  "Qin Yanran, how did you do on the Gaokao? You look unhappy, didn't you perform well? Don't end up not even being able to surpass me!"

  In extraordinary times, one must use extraordinary measures. Su Lin knew that at this time if he used gentle words to apologize to Qin Yanran, not only would it not alleviate her anger, but it would also make the situation even worse. He estimated that Qin Yanran would categorize him as a despicable man who deceives girls with sweet talk every day.

  So, Su Lin cleverly started with the topic of Gaokao. With a sarcastic and provocative tone, aren't you Qin Yanran very competitive? Aren't you Qin Yanran always first in every exam? This time I just want to see if you can beat me, Su Lin, are you anxious or not?

  "What did you say? Su Lin, don't think that just because you ranked tenth in the grade this time, you can really raise your tail. The difficulty of this Gaokao is greater than any previous mock exam, and I'm not even confident that I can get a high score. What makes you so confident?"

  A proud heart was thus stirred up by Su Lin. Qin Yanran raised her head, staring at Su Lin, successfully shifting the focus to him.

  "Is this year's college entrance exam really that difficult?"

  Su Lin secretly felt pleased with herself, but on the surface she pretended to be very proud and self-satisfied, saying, "I don't know why I feel like every question is easy to understand at a glance, and doing them is also very smooth! It seems like I can get full marks in almost every subject."

  As long as Qin Yanran no longer gives herself a cold shoulder and ignores her, Su Lin has a way to make Qin Yanran not angry anymore.

  "Sulin! Hmph! Arrogant people usually don't have a good ending. The last big question on the math test, what value of x did you finally calculate? I just don't believe you can do this question."

  Qin Yanran had already forgotten that she was angry with Su Lin, and pouted her mouth to argue with him, as if she wouldn't give up until they figured out who was right or wrong.

  While Lin Qingxue on the other hand was mysteriously smiling as she watched Su Lin and Qin Yanran's conversation, she knew Su Lin's temperament and personality, where he would not show off his achievements like this. Combining Qin Yanran's previous attitude towards Su Lin, Lin Qingxue knew that Su Lin must be using a method similar to the "stimulus-response" approach to shift Qin Yanran's attention away from being angry at him.

  "That question combines trigonometric functions and algebraic geometry, involving many formulas. However, by making some substitutions, treating sin(x) as a whole, plugging it into the entire equation, and combining inverse trigonometric functions, we can solve for x, which is 15 degrees."

  Cheng Zu's chest, Su Lin slowly came, even the steps to solve the problem were not missed, those methods of solving problems, formulas for solving problems! All in his mind, exceptionally clear. The correct answer was spoken out, Qin Yanran listened and found it was the same as the answer she had calculated with great difficulty for half a day.

  Qin Yanran had no choice but to admit that Su Lin's answer was correct. He indeed had the capital to say that this exam was easy.

  "How's that? Alright?" Yanran smiled and said, with her hands clasped together and a playful glint in her eye. The way she addressed him had also quietly changed from "Qin Yanran classmate" to the more intimate "Yanran".

  "Hmph! You think you're so smart, but math isn't the hardest part. The last big question on the physics section of the comprehensive exam, I don't believe you can do it..."

  That physics comprehensive question in the science composite, Qin Yanran thought should be the most difficult one among all the exams this time, and its score was not low either. One big question, worth a full 20 points, with four small questions.

  The answer to the first question is 5n, the second question's answer is 30kg, the third question's answer is 40cm, and the fourth question's answer is 120s.

  As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Lin, who had super memory, how could the answers to these questions not be fresh in his mind? Even Qin Yan felt that she couldn't do it like Su Lin, remembering all the answers so tightly. The only explanation is that Su Lin's familiarity with these questions was extremely high.

  Actually, Qin Yanran didn't know that if she asked Li Hao, the dead fat man, instead of Su Lin at this time, Li Hao could also do it. After all, Li Hao's standard answers to the test papers for the past two days were not covered up by his overtime work.

  She asked several other difficult questions, even including the ones she got wrong herself and only discovered after the exam was over. To her surprise, Su Lin answered every single one of them correctly. Qin Yanran already felt that it wasn't impossible for Su Lin's Gaokao score to surpass hers, and she even began to wonder if Su Lin could get a perfect score.

  "What's going on? Yanran, Su Lin won't... didn't say everything right, did she?"

  Lin Qingxue, who had initially been watching with a detached attitude, was thoroughly shocked this time. She knew that the high school entrance exam questions that Qin Yanran could ask were definitely difficult enough to stump tens of thousands of examinees.

  These difficult questions on the college entrance exam, which were once a challenge for others, are now being answered with ease by Su Lin. Lin Qingxue knows that Su Lin has made great progress in her studies recently, but last time she only ranked tenth in her grade, still far behind Qin Yanran's eternal first place.

  How could Su Lin's progress be so rapid in just a few days? Or was he hiding his true strength all along?

  Looking at Su Lin's innocent and harmless smile, Lin Qingxue's eyes narrowed, but in her heart, she was sighing: "Su Lin, what kind of person are you really? Why can't the teacher understand you more and more? What else are you hiding?"

  Curiosity kills the cat, this sentence is not wrong at all. Many women's initial interest in a man is actually sparked by curiosity about him. The more they can't understand a man, the more they think he's like an enigma, and the more attractive he becomes to them.

  In fact, from the very beginning, human nature is like this. At a glance, knowing the details after one or two days of contact, there is no attraction to speak of. Women are also like this, it's said that women are like books, every page turned reveals different content.

  Now Lin Qingxue feels that Su Lin is like a thick and wordless mysterious book, so attractive to herself to open it, but when she looks at it, there is not a single word, she can only stare blankly, waiting for Su Lin to reveal himself bit by bit.

  This feeling is not good, it's like watching a suspenseful reasoning movie, the more you watch, the more you want to know what the final truth is immediately, but you have to be led by the nose by the director, turning left and right, until the last moment when the complete logical explanation of the truth comes out.

  "Hmm! Su Lin... you... okay! You've answered everything correctly, if you really think these questions are easy, then I admit that what you said about this year's college entrance exam being easy is true."

  Qin Yanran's tone was noticeably weaker than before, she had encountered a boy who could surpass her in academic performance for the first time, and this boy was actually Su Lin. She was not convinced, but after asking so many questions, she had to admit defeat.

  The momentum of this thing is also a matter of one rising and the other falling. Su Lin's momentum was overwhelming as he spoke to Qin Yanran about how simple the high school entrance exam questions were, but Qin Yanran refused to concede, arguing back. In the end, she found that any difficult question would become an easily solvable simple question in Su Lin's mouth, and instantly, her momentum was completely suppressed by Su Lin.

  Qin Yanran felt very wronged. From childhood to adulthood, in terms of academic performance, she had always been in absolute advantage, defeating others with ease. But today, when facing Su Lin, the roles were suddenly reversed. Qin Yanran felt that she couldn't exert any strength at all and was suppressed by Su Lin, how could she not feel wronged?

  "Alright, alright! I was just teasing you! I saw that you were mad at me and ignoring me, so I said it on purpose. This year's Gaokao is indeed much harder than usual exams, but I just have a good memory, so I remembered all the questions that I had calculated carefully before. During the exam, I also spent a long time thinking..."

  Seeing Qin Yanran's wronged face, Su Lin quickly stopped and began to coax Qin Yanran, saying, "Yanran, don't be angry with me, okay? The concert is about to start, the college entrance exam is over, we should have fun and play happily, how can we not be happy and angry?"

  With a cheerful smile, Su Lin hadn't even finished making Qin Yanran happy when she saw Qin Yanran call out to her back, "Mom! Why are you here too?"

  As soon as Su Lin turned around and took a look, she felt an invisible pressure coming her way. It was indeed Fang Lippin, the mayor of Jian'an City and Qin Yanyan's mother, wearing a professional suit and trousers, with her full chest tightly wrapped up, no matter how fast she walked, it wouldn't shake at all.

  "Ah, okay! Su Lin, I said my dear daughter's mood has been so bad these two days during the college entrance exam, and even after finishing the exam, she still looks unhappy. It turns out that you little scamp made Yanran angry."

  As soon as she came over, Fang Liping first scolded Su Lin, then turned to her daughter Qin Yanran and said, "Yanran, tell Mom what this stinky brat Su Lin did to bully you? I'll avenge you!"

  Mayor Fang Liping, who usually speaks seriously and decisively, unexpectedly said something so playful. She seemed to be comforting her daughter on one hand, while glaring at Su Lin with a look that implied she had to teach him a lesson. Moreover, when she walked over, it seemed intentional, standing right next to Su Lin, and as she turned around, her plump buttocks lightly rubbed against Su Lin's thigh.
