Chapter 844: The Simplest, Most Crude Way to Show Off!
The finals of the Biology compet.i.tion were slightly more difficult than Yun Xi had imagined, but she had done her homework and had come well prepared. Even though her opponents from various countries were tough, she was sure she would be strong enough to prevail.
After several rounds, Yun Xi carefully noted the results of Peng Zihang, who was from the middle school attached to Jingdu High School. It seemed that he wasn’t half-bad at this.
One could even say that he had been hiding his capabilities well.
She had taken advantage of her reincarnation to use all the information about Biology that she’d studied in her last life. Peng Zihang was different. He was currently a student. If she were to make a comparison, this guy could definitely be considered a true genius in Biology.
There were numerous strong contenders in the finals, and, after many rounds of compet.i.tion, Yun Xi barely kept her position as first in the rankings, while Peng Zihang placed third. In second place was a student from London. He too was a genius who couldn’t be underestimated.
Now that she had won, the way the foreign students looked at her changed.
The compet.i.tors at the Biology compet.i.tion were mostly male. The male/female ratio was almost ten to one.
Most of the guys looked down on the girls. The moment the results were released, however, the teachers and the students alike all looked toward Yun Xi. This girl who had been overlooked and who had stayed low-key all along won the champions.h.i.+p in the finals of the Biology compet.i.tion.
Lu Zhiwei sat below the stage and looked up at the figure who went up to receive the trophy. He knew he wasn’t wrong about this girl. Her abilities far exceeded anyone else in the group. Her potential was way beyond their expectations. If she were properly developed, she might be able to win the n.o.bel Prize.
His only regret now was that he hadn’t taught school for many years, and he was really disappointed that he’d never had her as a student.
Otherwise, perhaps some day he could proudly tell his teacher friends about her, and talk to them about this student whom he would be proud of his whole life.
The teachers and princ.i.p.al of Jingdu High School immediately called Yun Xi after receiving the news about the award. Jin Lei followed Mu Feichi’s orders and sent the photos and videos to the princ.i.p.al of Jingdu High School.
While he was at it, he sent a copy to Young Commander Mu as well, who was far away in the camps.
This year’s compet.i.tion wasn’t live-streamed in the country, so Jin Lei gave Yun Xi a copy of the recorded video, so she could take it back for her family to watch.
Yun Xi looked down at the disc that he had given her. She couldn’t help but smile. “Take it back to let my family watch… They would think I was just showing off.”
“Only those who are jealous and resentful would think that. Joy should be shared with those you are close to. Your diligence and effort weren’t wasted, right?”
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Jin Lei was very knowledgeable about her circ.u.mstances at home. She nodded lightly and said, “You’re right.”
She waved the disc in her hand. “With this, my value and status in the Yun family will be higher in the future, and my worth to be used by them will be greater as well.”
“I didn’t mean that…”
“I know you didn’t mean that.” Yun Xi smiled, her bright eyes s.h.i.+ning like precious gems, instantly brightening up her soft, pretty face.
“This is the simplest, most crude way to show off. I like it a lot too.”
Jin Lei looked at her, smiled, and didn’t say anything.
The celebration at the end of the compet.i.ton was a treat from the organizing committee. Instructor Lu Zhiwei took the two instructors from Jingdu High School and the teachers and students of the attached middle school to Chinatown for a meal.
Just as Yun Xi sat down, Peng Zihang pulled out the seat beside her and sat down too.
Yun Xi looked around at the others. Everyone had found a seat. It was nice that Peng Zihang had sat down beside her, and it didn’t look out of place at all.
“Yun Xi, I watched your results carefully during the compet.i.tion. You’re really great!”
Peng Zihang turned to look at her and clinked his teacup with Yun Xi’s. There was admiration and reverence in his dark, bright eyes. It was so sincere and there wasn’t a single bit of envy.
Yun Xi’s eyes turned into crescents when she smiled. She clinked his cup in return. Her smile was sincere and candid as she said, “Thanks, you too. If we’re both admitted to Jingdu University in the future, I would appreciate your help.”
