My subject turned into a beautiful girl

Crab owner: "...You're not kidding, are you?"

The teacher who works regular hours said, "How could I joke about something like this?"

Crab owner: "That's true..."

The crab shop owner said, "But that doesn't make sense. If he's good at math, why didn't he show it at all before?"

The teacher on duty said, "Is it possible that this student was deliberately manipulating his scores to appear average, preparing to surprise everyone during the final college entrance exam? But this unexpected incident happened, and he was even threatened by you, so he had to expose himself prematurely?"

Crab Boss: "Your most urgent task right now is to uninstall Tomato from your phone and download Qidian."

Office worker: "Just tell me, is it even possible?"

Crab Boss: "An Yi might be faking it, but it's unlikely that An Yi is faking it... Anyway, there's a grade-level math exam tomorrow. If it's really as you say, I'd like to see how many points he can get."

Office teacher: "There's a grade-level math exam [・ヘ・?], how come I didn't know about it?"

Crab Boss: "(ಡωಡ) Didn't you check DingTalk? Our school has been allocated three direct entry spots for the preliminary round of the National High School Mathematics League this year, and they will be allocated based on the results of this grade-wide mathematics exam."

The teacher on duty said, "Direct entry to the high school math league? What's the point of having the whole grade take the exam? Why not just have a selection process within the competition class?"

Crab Boss: "Have you forgotten Xia Qing and Zhou Yingshuang? They didn't participate in the competition class, nor did they participate in the preliminary rounds. They're already in their senior year, and this is their last chance. Director Qiu, who's in charge of the competitions, is almost frantic. He finally came up with this idea after much difficulty."

It's said he's already used his connections to persuade Zhou Yingshuang's parents. If Zhou Yingshuang participates, Xia Qing will definitely participate too, and then his bonus will be a sure thing!

Office worker: "Damn, I'm so envious!"

There was no doubt in their words that Xia Qing or Zhou Yinshuang would not get a spot.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Xia Qing's title of "forever number one in the grade" was earned through solid achievements time and time again, just as Zhou Yinshuang's title of "forever number two in the grade" was earned through hard work.

To be honest, this title doesn't sound very impressive. But that's okay, she has another nickname—

"Sister-in-law".

That's right, Zhou Yinshuang is the "sister-in-law" who didn't show up for registration on the first day of high school, only came to class on the second day when school officially started, and was instantly smitten by the older brother Xia Qing, who confessed his love to her in public.

The reason why "sister-in-law" is in quotation marks is because the eldest brother, Xia Qing, has been relentlessly pursuing Zhou Yinshuang for two years...

They still couldn't catch up.

In terms of looks, Zhou Yinshuang and Xia Qing are equally matched, just different types. In terms of academic talent, the two have already created a huge gap between the third-ranked students in the grade. The students who are about to enter their senior year at Jingjiang Middle School have even developed the habit of starting to look at the grade rankings from third place every time they check them, because the first and second place are never in doubt.

In terms of temperament, the two are diametrically opposed, though in this respect they both embody the essence of their names. Xia Qing always evokes images of a sunny summer day, bright, lively, and enthusiastic. Zhou Yinshuang, on the other hand, gives off a feeling of being chilled by the cold.

In everyone's memory, she has never smiled, but rather she has never shown any obvious expression. If one day people learn that she has unfortunately suffered from facial paralysis, they probably won't be surprised, but will only feel sorry for her.

Such a beautiful, aloof, and intimidating woman is naturally someone no one dares to "plot against." Besides, one must also consider that plotting against her would offend the respected eldest brother… At that point, without the eldest brother even giving an order, the sensible younger brothers would probably take care of her on their own, right?

Even in such an undisturbed environment, after two years of hard work, the eldest brother could only push the progress to the "friends" stage.

The "eldest sister-in-law" was indeed different towards the eldest brother than with others; at least she would listen to him quite patiently for a long time and occasionally offer some responses. Knowing that everyone had given her the nickname "eldest sister-in-law," she neither confirmed nor denied it…

But that's all it went on to.

The boys and girls had discussed this in private meetings, and the topic eventually ended with one clueless guy casually saying, "Don't you guys think the guy looks like a simp being strung around by a goddess...?"

That hothead is An Yi.

An Yi felt that the main reason the topic ended was that everyone actually felt the same way. It's just that their elder brother had cultivated such a wise and powerful image in everyone's minds over the past two years, so everyone kept quiet and dared not say it…

Of course, he would never say such a blunt truth to his elder brother's face; right now, he was his elder brother's most loyal and obsequious younger brother!

"Big brother, big brother, please help me out of this mess!"

An Yi, returning to reality from her wonderful daydreams, stared expectantly at her elder brother.

"Um?"

Xia Qing subtly wiped away the glistening tears that almost spilled from the corner of her mouth. She didn't know what she had been thinking about with her "sister-in-law"... In any case, she quickly returned to reality.

"Give you a hand? Help me with what?"

"Well, I got arrested at noon for going to an internet cafe, right? So I skipped class in the afternoon..."

When the topic came up, An Yi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head, his face flushed, but he still forced himself to tell the whole story about needing to be in the top 200 of the grade in the next monthly exam.

With the support of the system, An Yi felt that completing this bet would definitely not be a problem. The main reason he brought it up at this moment was to let his elder brother continue to "pass on the Burning Technique".

As I said before, a teacher who is highly skilled and can impart knowledge in a way that is easy to understand is absolutely invaluable!

An Yi didn't know where his older brother's skill limit was, but he had already experienced the help that being "forever number one in the grade" could provide him.

This is so awesome!

"No wonder I saw you reviewing in the classroom earlier, so that's why."

Xia Qing suddenly realized what was going on and didn't refuse. "Okay, what was your ranking in the grade this month's exam, and how were your scores in each subject?"

On one hand, she had already decided to carry out her plan to "cultivate a capable underling to lighten her own burden so that she could pursue the 'sister-in-law'," and the cultivation work was already underway. On the other hand, she was quite curious about An Yi, whom she considered a "fallen genius."

What caused his downfall? How brilliant could he have been?

An Yi silently took out her monthly exam report card, and Xia Qing took a closer look—

语文102；数学91；英语127；物理51；化学49；生物50；总分470；年级排名312。

"Um... your English is good, and your other scores... your combined science scores are also..."

Xia Qing paused for a long time before finally managing to utter a single word.

"balanced!"

"Brother, thank you for finding such a precise vocabulary."

An Yi sighed softly.

"But I've been a noob for so many years, I'm already aware of my limitations, so you don't need to worry about my feelings..."

"Okay," Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Which subject do you want to start with?"

This was still not a multiple-choice question, and An Yi answered without hesitation.

"math!"
