Chapter 149: Become Number One Foe
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Xia glanced at the results on the noticeboard for the last time and turned to leave without saying a word.
Chang Yingying gazed at Lu Xia from behind and exhaled deeply.
Although Lu Xia said nothing, she must be feeling awful. After all, she had been spending all her free time studying. Her unprecedented determination made Chang Yingying feel sorry for her.
But sadly... Lu Xia was still surpa.s.sed by her foster sister from the countryside. Chang Yingying shook her head before she went chasing after Lu Xia.

Huo Yao did not go to the noticeboard to see the results. She had managed to estimate her total score after Chen Yu called her into the office last week to discuss her language grades.
Before Huo Yao entered No.1 Middle School, she had checked the school’s grading system. Considering her grades, she would probably come second, if not first.
After all, Huo Yao could not help perform badly in language.
Meng Ying came back to the cla.s.s after checking out the grades. She saw Huo Yao sitting quietly and felt particularly upset.
Ever since she learned that Huo Yao was bad at language, she had been secretly gloating. After all, she was the one suffering from rude shocks all the time, so by the laws of nature, she deserved a win too. If she could see Huo Yao suffer defeat, it would be lovely.
In the end, hehehe, she realized she was such a rookie.
It was impossible for Huo Yao to have bad grades in her life.
She had stood first across the level!
Perhaps Huo Yao detected the begrudging look Meng Ying was casting at her, so she turned sideways to glance at Meng Ying. She took the initiative to ask her. “Are you done checking the marks? How much?”
“You scored 692 points and stood first in the entire grade,” said Meng Ying without bringing up her own marks. Then she paused for two seconds before she muttered. “Didn’t you say you suck at language? You must have been kidding!”
“If I didn’t suck at language, I probably wouldn’t have got just 692 marks,” said Huo Yao with a shrug.
Meng Ying’s lips twitched. The blow always came so unexpectedly. Fortunately, she was accustomed to it by now.
Meng Ying shook her head and said, “Let me tell you, Yi Lianfan from the Rocket Cla.s.s has always been the topper before you got transferred. He only scored one mark less than you this time.”
Meng Ying raised her hand and made the sign of one. “Do you know what one mark is? He might just beat you the next time! Especially since you are bad at language.”
Huo Yao had a vague impression of this name. He had partic.i.p.ated in the National Quiz Contest and stood second both times. He was right behind her.
“Yi Lianfan is a proud person. You parachuted out of nowhere and stole his t.i.tle, so he’s probably going to treat you like his number one foe,” said Meng Ying as she leaned her chin into her hand.
“But Yi Lianfan is very handsome, so it’s not a loss even if you win his attention!”
Huo Yao glanced at Meng Ying’s starry-eyed look. She said with a snort, “Are you drooling?”
Meng Ying instinctively rubbed the corners of her lips and realized that Huo Yao was teasing her. She turned to glare at her angrily and retorted. “Sister Big Shot, you’re becoming more and more mean.”
Huo Yao tilted her head and raised her brow. A languid and evil aura emanated from Huo Yao’s face. She had such exquisite features that Meng Ying ended up swallowing her saliva.
Go to h.e.l.l, Yi Lianfan! Huo Yao was clearly the coolest person on earth!

In a single morning, all suspicion surrounding Huo Yao’s grades dissipated after the monthly test results came out.
And Lu Xia was in a foul mood all day because of these results.
