Chapter 40 The Man I Can't Understand
"Fuck, Coco, you're finally here!"

"what happened?"

"Huang Ruhan just went to the teacher's office to get the materials she needed for today. She came back and told us that all the teachers in the office were discussing Qiao Yu's grades. I heard that Qiao Yu scored 567 points this time, and the total score was only 580. She heard from the teacher that it was eight points higher than the highest score in our class."

As soon as Xia Keke sat down, her deskmate Hu Xiyao started chattering in her ear.

Huang Ruhan, as mentioned by my deskmate, is the class council member and Chinese language representative, a frequent visitor to the teacher's office, so what he says is naturally credible.

"Is it strange?" Xia Keke glanced at Hu Xiyao and said proudly, "I told you that night that Qiao Yu is a strong student! He went to Class 13 simply because the class is less strict and he doesn't have to go to evening self-study classes."

Xia Keke would definitely not say this in front of Qiao Yu himself, but in front of her deskmate, it would not be an exaggeration to praise Qiao Yu in any way.

"The key is, how could he dare to do it when he took the biology and geography exams last year? These two subjects are counted towards the total score of the high school entrance exam. Isn't he afraid of failing and not getting into high school? And if he does well in biology and geography, it would be easy for him to get into the top four schools, right?"

Hu Xiyao said regretfully.

"If Qiao Yu wants to get into the top four, it would be easy. But if he can easily get first place in the grade in Class 13, do you think he would care whether he gets into the top four or not?" Xia Keke asked back.

Xia Keke would never tell her classmates about Qiao Yu's theory that prestigious schools are useless. She knew very well that just because Qiao Yu could do something didn't mean others could do it. She had known this since she was a child.

A guy who can repair a circuit by just looking at the manual doesn't need a teacher to talk to him. He can certainly become a talent by self-study. But she couldn't understand those things.

Just like when Qiao Yu was in elementary school, she saw with her own eyes that this guy slept in class and didn’t listen to the teacher at all. After class, he could still solve the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage. But she, who was listening carefully, didn’t fully understand the truth.

Some people are born not to need a teacher, but unfortunately she is not one of them.

"Oh... there really are people like this in this world!" Hu Xiyao sighed, and subconsciously turned his head to glance at Xu Zhe who was sitting by the window. He suddenly felt that this guy's loss was not unfair.

"Well, there are so many things you haven't seen!"

Xia Keke responded casually, then took out the book, but was thinking about what Qiao Yu said in the morning.

"Some people don't realize how weak they are unless they work hard..." She decided to keep this sentence to herself as it was too offensive.

After all, her deskmate felt that yesterday's physics paper was quite difficult.

……

Qiao Yu returned to the classroom and fell asleep on the desk, without being disturbed by anyone.

Obviously, up to now, they don't know that there is a top student in the class. After all, no one in Class 13 will go to the teacher's office in the morning.

Of course, even if they knew, they would probably just be surprised. After all, this is Class 13, and having good grades is never considered a cool thing. The saying that if you don't work hard, you don't know how weak you are doesn't apply to Class 13.

Well, except Zhou Shuang.

This guy, who Qiao Yu thought was out of his mind, was still studying words during the morning reading. This guy was still so well-informed. He went to the toilet during the break and shouted as soon as he rushed into the classroom: "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Qiao Yu got the highest score in the whole grade in this mock exam!"

The sound was so loud that the originally noisy classroom suddenly stopped and remained silent for about two seconds.

It took a while for the others to come back to their senses.

"Fuck, Zhou Shuang, you are sick. You just found out today that Qiao Yu is a good student?" "That's right, it's not like you got first place in the exam, why are you so excited? Stupid!"

"What the hell! Can you have a little sense of public morality? Why don't you take a good rest so early in the morning? If you don't sleep, will others sleep too?"

……

Zhou Shuang rolled his eyes at the piles of complaints. He once again began to regret why he didn't try harder, even if it was just in an ordinary class.

They are the top students in the whole grade. It happened in their class, but their classmates have such an attitude. There is no hope for them...

Wait, why does this voice sound so familiar?

Zhou Shuang subconsciously looked towards the familiar spot and saw Qiao Yu staring at him with sleepy eyes with his head tilted back. He immediately lost his temper.

He looks down on everyone in this class, but he now admires Qiao Yu from the bottom of his heart.

What's the point of the rocket class's good grades? That's all because of the teacher's pressure!

He knew exactly what Qiao Yu did in class every day. After all, they had been sitting at the same table for almost a year. They would either sleep or flip through their textbooks when bored. In the evening, they would often hang out at the Internet cafe together. Qiao Yu was even better at playing games than he was.

Even so, I was able to get the first place in the grade, which fully proves the saying that perfect marks are different from perfect marks. Most perfect marks are because the upper limit of ability just meets the upper limit of score, while others are just limited by the upper limit of score.

Obviously Qiao Yu belongs to the latter.

Zhou Shuang still remembers that when he was in elementary school, his father had to go on a business trip the next day. He lay in his room and couldn't sleep, so he hid behind the door and eavesdropped on his parents chatting in the living room. He heard his mother tell his father this: "When you go out alone, you must control your temper, especially don't provoke those who don't understand you."

He still remembers this sentence till now.

He didn't really understand the meaning of this sentence before, but after entering junior high school, he began to understand it a little. So whenever he thought of this sentence, he would observe the people around him to see who he didn't understand.

It’s not that he wants to know who he shouldn’t mess with, but mainly because he wants to learn from others and become the person that his mother says others dare not and cannot mess with.

Unfortunately, no one has really seen through him, nor has anyone completely failed to see through him. Naturally, no one has ever figured out the true meaning of this sentence.

Until Qiao Yu suddenly exploded, Zhou Shuang felt that the kind of person his mother talked about who should not be provoked was probably Qiao Yu.

I can’t understand it, I can’t understand it at all!
Zhou Shuang even doubted whether Qiao Yu was from Earth!
So without arguing with others, Zhou lowered his head and sat back in his seat quietly.

"Boss Qiao, I just went to the bathroom and heard them say that a teacher told the Rockets class that you got the best score in the grade this time!"

"Isn't this nonsense? I took the exam seriously. If I can't get first place, why did I take it so seriously?"

Qiao Yu taught Zhou Shuang slowly: "Whether you can get into high school or not, you must remember that being serious is a very tiring thing. So as long as you work hard, you will reap the benefits that can be seen with the naked eye, whether it is grades or money, you will always get something.

Remember, if you find yourself exhausted like a dog every day and get nothing, you must quit immediately. This either means that you are not suitable for this job, or that someone is taking advantage of your diligence and not sharing it with you. It is completely useless. You must remember this! "

"Oh!" Zhou Shuang nodded seriously, ignoring Qiao Yu's glance at the English book spread out on the table.
