Chapter 748: Chapter 746: This Effort and Perseverance
Jiang Mianmian was very surprised to see Zhong Yuan. How had he also made it to ninth grade?
While Jiang Mianmian was still puzzled, the system suddenly spoke up, “Host, your little desk mate is pretty impressive.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Jiang Mianmian didn’t understand why the system was saying this all of a sudden.
“He has actually become a genius through his own efforts,” the system explained.
“Hmm? You mean his intelligence value has increased from Almost Genius to Genius?” Jiang Mianmian asked, both surprised and admiring.
“Yes, his intelligence value has now reached 143. Host, you have to work hard and make sure not to fall behind him,” the system took the opportunity to encourage.
After hearing what the system said, Jiang Mianmian felt some pressure, “System, don’t worry, I’ll work hard.”
At the same time as she felt the pressure, she couldn’t help but admire Zhong Yuan’s impressive abilities.
He had managed to increase his intelligence value from 139.2 to 143 just through his own efforts over the summer!
She found herself admitting that his effort and perseverance were beyond her.
While she was talking with the system, Teacher Chu, standing at the podium, couldn’t contain her smile.
She really hadn’t expected to be so lucky as to not only secure Jiang Mianmian, the Little Genius, but to have Zhong Yuan, another Little Genius, join her class as well.
Just now, the headmaster had called her to the office to hand over Zhong Yuan to her, and she hadn’t known what was happening at first. Teacher Qiu later explained it to her.
It turned out that Zhong Yuan had gone to the office at the start of the school year, expressing a desire to skip to ninth grade. Following protocol, Teacher Qiu had him take a set of exams, and after passing the test, the other ninth-grade homeroom teachers were all very enthusiastic in inviting him to their classes.
But Zhong Yuan had refused them all. He had only one request—that he be in the same class as Jiang Mianmian. The headmaster always respected the students’ choices, and this indirectly worked out in her favor. It was as if she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.
Thinking back to the look of envy in the other homeroom teachers’ eyes when they saw her in the office just now, she couldn’t help but want to laugh. Now that both Little Geniuses were in her class, she felt immensely proud.
“Classmates, let me introduce you to another student. This is Zhong Yuan. He used to be Jiang Mianmian’s desk mate, and just now, he too passed the acceleration exam. From now on, he will study with us. Let’s give him a warm round of applause,” Teacher Chu was fair, treating both Jiang Mianmian and Zhong Yuan with the same attitude.
When Jiang Mianmian heard that Zhong Yuan had also skipped a grade to join ninth grade and that he’d be in the same class as her, she was also very happy, clapping enthusiastically. When she had skipped a grade, she had felt some reluctance to leave her little desk mate, and now, unexpectedly, they could be in the same class again.
Wondering if it was because Zhong Yuan had asked, Teacher Chu directly moved Jiang Mianmian’s current desk mate back one seat, pairing the two of them together again.
Once the new books were distributed, the first period had ended as well.
Right after the class, Jiang Mianmian said happily, “Zhong Yuan, what a coincidence, we ended up in the same class again.”
“It’s not a coincidence at all; I specifically requested this from the headmaster. Jiang Mianmian, I’m in ninth grade now too, and our competition isn’t over yet. We’ll see who’s better at the middle school exams,” Zhong Yuan said to Jiang Mianmian, full of fighting spirit.
Facing the challenge, Jiang Mianmian didn’t show any weakness, “Sure, I’m not afraid of you.”
