My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Writing papers was just routine for him, so it wasn't difficult.

The idea is very simple.

The arguments were very clear, and he had already outlined the framework of the paper in just one night.

"Go to sleep. One chapter a day is enough."

He felt that a few tens of thousands of words would be enough for a paper.

It doesn't need to be like a real humanities academic paper; some older professors' doctoral dissertations are often hundreds of thousands of words long.

One chapter a day shouldn't be too much of a burden.

......

The next morning, when I arrived at the classroom, I saw a love letter on the desk.

"Who sent it?"

Xue Lin was somewhat surprised.

His name was written on it, and then it was opened.

"Xia Shuyao from the top-performing class?"

Xue Lin was somewhat surprised after reading it.

Without giving it much thought, he simply put it in his desk.

"Who sent it?"

Xu Ce, who was standing nearby, also curiously came over.

"A girl from the next class."

"Wow, that's impressive, Linzi! You've got all the girls in the top class hooked up with you?"

"Right?"

Xue Lin was also surprised.

But I didn't think much of it.

After all, who wants to date in high school?

Isn't this the most important thing for preparing for the college entrance exam?

However, in the second period.

He was still explaining problems to Chu Ming right after class.

"Linzi, someone is looking for you outside."

"Who's looking for me?"

"Chen Bo from the top class, the one who's number one in the whole school," Xu Ce said, smiling.

First in the whole school?

He knew Chen Bo, but he had never paid attention to this kind of ranking. He didn't expect that Chen Bo had this kind of identity.

"oh."

Xue Lin quickly walked out.

"What's wrong, Brother Bo?"

"Brother Lin, I'm here to get some information from the girls in my class. Did you read Xia Shuyao's love letter?"

"I read it. It's very heartfelt and well-written."

Xue Lin thought about it carefully before answering.

"So, is there anything that's touching?"

Chen Bo spoke, his face showing anticipation and interest.

"I'm not moved. I think the second mock exam is more important."

Xue Lin shook his head directly.

It was clear that Xue Lin didn't like it. He had originally wanted to show Xue Lin the photos, but now it seemed unnecessary. He smiled and said, "So, are you just going to refuse? I'll refuse for you."

"Why doesn't she say it herself?" Xue Lin also found it somewhat amusing.

Chen Bo had met him a few times, and was even one of his major clients, so he asked him to act as an intermediary.

However, Xue Lin felt that being such a middleman was not easy.

Often, after the two sides fall out, the middleman ends up pleasing neither side.

"Well, I only heard that she likes you. She said she fell in love with you at first sight after seeing you on the playground. So, I'm just asking what you think. If you're interested, you can get in touch. There's no harm in it."

"Wouldn't it be a bad idea to refuse outright?" Xue Lin paused for a moment before speaking, "How about this, you tell her that if her mock exam score is higher than mine, I'll agree."

"What did you say?"

Chen Bo looked at him in disbelief.

"Brother Lin, are you serious? Xia Shuyao is in the top class, and almost everyone in the top class is in the top 100 of the whole school. She's never fallen out of that class, and most of the time, Xia Shuyao is even able to break into the top 20!"

"Brother Lin, this isn't a refusal, it's practically an agreement, isn't it?"

"No way, I'm very capable."

Xue Lin spoke, his tone serious.

But I still asked, "What were the scores for the top twenty?"

"Six hundred and eighty to six hundred and ninety."

"Okay, then go ahead and say that," Xue Lin said with a smile. "I think exceeding that number shouldn't be a problem."

"Really? That's fine too." Chen Bo asked in surprise.

However, he didn't say much more.

Anyway, he was just a messenger.

......

Soon, Chen Bo returned to the Rocket Class, and Xia Shuyao hurriedly came to greet him.

"How did it go? Did Xue Lin agree?"

"No, but he said that if your score in the second mock exam surpasses his, he will agree immediately."

"What? Grades?"

One of the girls laughed in surprise, "Is he saying that because he doesn't want to say yes directly, and he's a little shy?"

"Yes, Shuyao's grades aren't bad either! 680 or 690, top-tier 985 level! She might even have a chance at a top-tier university."

"Yeah, maybe it's just that it's interesting, but you're too embarrassed to refuse?"

"What's the difference between this and agreeing outright?"

A group of top students also started making a fuss.

They also felt that Xia Shuyao's interest in Xue Lin was like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.

Xue Lin is just a little good-looking.

What else?

Are you from a better-off family?

The problem is, Xia Shuyao's family isn't poor either!

Those who made it into the top class were almost never from poor families or were bookworms.

They had indeed heard of the transfer student in the honors class.

However, the reason he became famous was not because Xue Lin's grades were too good, but because they were too bad!

It was also because Xue Lin got in through connections, and it's said he bribed the school with a lot of money.

However, this is just a rumor.

Xue Lin's grades, on the other hand, were noticeably poor.

Based on the intelligence they had, Xue Lin's performance was practically the same as him agreeing outright!

"Don't be too happy yet."

Chen Bo simply smiled slightly.

"Linzi's grades have improved by leaps and bounds recently. I heard she got close to 650 on the last monthly exam."

"Really? That strong? Does that mean they're almost at the bottom of our class?" Everyone was shocked.

Six hundred and fifty!

There are more than forty students in their class, all of whom are the best of the best.

Being able to catch up with the bottom of their class is quite an achievement.

"Six hundred and fifty?" Even Xia Shuyao was slightly surprised, but then she laughed, "That makes you even more attractive!"

"What a lovesick girl!" her best friend said, laughing.

Xia Shuyao didn't care. "Second mock exam, right? I'll go find him when I get my report card."

Chen Bo simply chuckled.

He didn't say much.

He didn't know Xue Lin well, but based on their interactions, Xue Lin seemed to be an extremely confident person.

This confidence stems from strength.

Xue Lin wouldn't have said that if he wasn't absolutely certain.

It seems that Xue Lin is indeed qualified to say such things.

Who knows?

But he didn't think much of it; he just felt that Xue Lin seemed to be getting more and more mysterious.

......

Xue Lin naturally didn't know about the Rocket Class's situation, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't care.

Learning as always.

After returning home.

He started working on his thesis.

And check some international journals.

Soon, they secured a top-tier, world-class architecture journal.

World Architecture.

"This is it. I'll finish writing it as soon as possible and hopefully get it published before university starts!"
