The villainous young lady is actually a scientific research genius!

2:30 p.m.

Examination room at Beijing No. 12 Middle School.

Lu Zhaozhao sat in her seat, holding the physics test paper that had just been handed out.

The proctor stood on the podium and glanced at his watch.

"The exam begins."

The sound of turning over test papers echoed in the classroom.

Lu Zhaozhao glanced at the exam paper.

The difficulty level is... simpler than math.

She picked up her pen and began answering the questions.

For multiple-choice questions, the pen tip quickly glides across ABCD, requiring almost no thought.

The fill-in-the-blank questions were completed in one go.

The first major question is about free fall motion.

The second major question is about Newton's second law.

She didn't even use scratch paper; she wrote out the complete solution steps directly on the test paper.

The proctor walked back and forth in the classroom, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Lu Zhaozhao.

This student... it's her again.

Math exam ended in 32 minutes this morning, now it's physics...

He glanced at his watch.

Only fifteen minutes had passed, and she had already finished the last big question?

Lu Zhaozhao's pen stopped on the last optics question.

Wave-particle duality... High school physics at this time had not yet covered quantum mechanics.

However, this problem can be explained using classical optics.

She wrote down the last line of the answer and put down her pen.

I looked up at the clock on the wall.

2:50.

twenty minutes.

She opened her notebook and continued working out the titanium alloy data she hadn't finished that morning.

The proctor walked over to her and glanced down at the exam paper.

The answer was full of information, with neat handwriting and clear steps.

He raised an eyebrow.

Is this... really a high school student?

The other students in the classroom were still engrossed in calculations; some were biting their pens and frowning, while others were repeatedly checking their work on scratch paper.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhaozhao was already writing symbols and formulas that were completely incomprehensible in her notebook.

The proctor took a deep breath.

Oh well, I'm used to it.

This morning's math lesson already challenged my understanding, so it wouldn't be surprising if my physics lesson progressed even faster.

It's exactly three o'clock.

Lu Zhaozhao closed her notebook and glanced at the clock on the wall.

There are still two hours until the chemistry exam.

Instead of getting up to hand in her paper, she reopened her notebook.

The other students in the classroom were still engrossed in answering questions; some were scratching their heads, while others were writing furiously.

Lu Zhaozhao, however, was already immersed in her research.

Time passed little by little.

4:30.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam.

The students handed in their papers and left one after another, and the classroom gradually emptied out.

Lu Zhaozhao handed the physics exam paper to the proctor and then returned to her seat to continue writing her notes.

The proctor glanced at her.

This student... is really hardworking.

That makes sense, though; students who can get full marks are no ordinary people.

Lu Zhaozhao looked up at the clock.

There's still half an hour left.

She closed her notebook, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.

Footsteps and voices could be heard in the corridor; students from other exam rooms were taking a break.

It's exactly five o'clock.

The bell rang to signal the start of the chemistry exam.

Lu Zhaozhao opened her eyes and sat up straight.

The proctors began distributing the chemistry exam papers.

Lu Zhaozhao received the test paper and glanced at it.

Organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry...

Difficulty level is slightly below average.

She began answering the questions.

For multiple-choice questions, the pen tip quickly traces the answers.

Fill in the blanks: periodic table, balancing chemical equations, redox reactions...

The experimental questions, including the experimental steps, phenomena, and conclusions, are presented in one smooth flow.

Calculation problems: chemical equations, molar calculations, solution concentrations...

The pen tip scratched across the paper.

The proctor stood on the podium, his gaze fixed on Lu Zhaozhao.

This student...

Math for 32 minutes in the morning, physics for 20 minutes in the afternoon.

Now, chemistry...

He glanced at his watch.

Eighteen minutes.

Has she finished?

Lu Zhaozhao put down her pen and looked up.

"Teacher, I'm handing in my paper."

The proctor paused for a moment.

"……good."

He took the test paper and flipped through it.

Another answer sheet brimming with content.

Is this child... really human?

The other students in the classroom looked up at Lu Zhaozhao.

Someone muttered quietly, "They've handed in their papers again..."

"How did she do that?"

"I haven't even finished the multiple-choice questions yet..."

Lu Zhaozhao walked out of the examination room.

In the corridor, the setting sun shone through the windows, turning the floor orange-red.

She glanced at her watch.

5:20.

I'll go to No. 3 Middle School to find Qingqing.

She walked quickly to the parking shed, unlocked her bicycle, and got on.

The bicycle rode out of the school gate and turned into the street.

The setting sun stretched her shadow long.

……

On the other side, Beijing No. 3 Middle School.

Lu An'an sat in the examination room, holding a physics exam paper in her hand.

Her eyelids were still heavy, and her temples were throbbing.

I can't sleep anymore...

I absolutely cannot sleep anymore...

The scene of going home at noon involuntarily popped into my mind.

As soon as she entered, Gu Wan greeted her with a look of anticipation: "An'an, how did you do on your math test this morning?"

Lu An'an's heart tightened. How could she say that he was asleep?

"The questions...the questions were quite difficult." She lowered her head, not daring to look Gu Wan in the eye. "I'm not very confident."

Gu Wan's smile froze for a moment: "It's okay, just do your best. Go eat, take a nap after lunch, you have an exam this afternoon."

But Lu An'an couldn't sleep at all.

Lying in bed with my eyes closed, my mind was filled with images from the morning exam—I was asleep on the desk, the proctor came over, and the exam paper was mostly blank…

The more I think about it, the more scared I get, and the more scared I get, the less I can sleep.

I drifted in and out of consciousness until the afternoon, when my head started to spin even more.

Lu An'an pinched the back of her hand hard, forcing herself to concentrate on the question.

The first multiple-choice question is about free fall motion.

She stared at the question, her mind a complete mess.

A or B...?

It all seems to be correct...

She hesitated for a long time before randomly choosing one.

Fill in the blanks and write out the formulas.

What was the formula again...?

h=1/2gt²……Yes, that's it.

She wrote down the answer, then crossed it out.

No, we also need to calculate the initial velocity...

Time passed little by little.

She worked very slowly, repeatedly checking each problem.

It's exactly three o'clock.

She had just finished the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, and only completed one essay question.

It's too late...

But I can't submit a blank paper anymore...

She gritted her teeth and scribbled down a few answers haphazardly.

4:30.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam.

Lu An'an put down her pen and slumped into her chair.

The exam papers were taken away.

She looked at her half-finished exam paper, her eyes reddening.

it's over...

I failed the physics exam too...

Shen Qingqing packed her schoolbag and left the classroom.

She glanced at Lu An'an's back and pursed her lips.

Live it!

It's exactly five o'clock.

The chemistry exam has begun.

Lu An'an's hands trembled as she received the exam paper.

This is the last one...

You must do well on the exam...

She took a deep breath and began to answer the questions.

But my eyelids were still heavy, and my mind was still a complete mess.

The first multiple-choice question was about the periodic table.

She stared at the four options, A, B, C, and D, the words in front of her blurring.

Which one should I choose...?

Fill in the blanks and write the chemical equations.

She wrote down the answer, then crossed it out.

No... the chemical formula for oxygen is O₂, not O...

This is an experimental question; you are required to write out the experimental steps.

She stared at the question for a long time, but still didn't know how to answer it.

Time passed little by little.

Six o'clock sharp.

She had only finished the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, and had only written a few words on the experimental and calculation questions.

6:30.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam.

Lu An'an put down her pen.

The exam papers were taken away.

She looked at her test paper, which she had only completed a third of, and almost burst into tears.

it's over...

It's completely over...

She stood up and walked out of the examination room.

……

The Lu Family Compound.

Lu Jingchen returned from the company and placed his briefcase in the entryway.

"Mom, I'm home."

Gu Wan came out of the kitchen.

"Chenchen's back? Are you hungry? Dinner will be ready soon."

Lu Jingchen nodded and turned to walk upstairs.

He stopped in his tracks as he passed by Lu Zhaozhao's room.

Oh, by the way, Lu Zhaozhao left a note this morning saying that her bicycle had been vandalized.

The valve core was pulled out.

He turned around, went downstairs, and walked into the courtyard.

Lu Zhaozhao's bicycle was still parked in the corner.

He stood up and walked around the yard.

The valve core didn't just disappear into thin air; someone must have thrown it away.

He walked over to the trash can and rummaged through it.

No.

He then walked to another trash can.

still none.

He frowned and went upstairs.

As he passed by Lu An'an's room, he saw a small trash can placed in front of the door.

He stopped and walked over.

There were a few crumpled pieces of paper and a small black object in the trash can.

He reached out and picked it up.

Valve core.

Lu Jingchen's face darkened.

At the door of An'an's room...

Valve core...

He gripped the valve stem tightly in his hand, turned around, and went downstairs.
