Chapter Ten: Jiang Wuyang Transfers to Science Class A
The more he graded, the more astonished he became.
Almost every question was correct.
Only the final major problem had an error in unit conversion—the decimal point was misplaced, likely written too hastily.
The physics teacher’s disdain gradually transformed into disbelief, then into a fervent excitement.
He of course knew that Jiang Wuyang could not have cheated; after all, this exam paper had absolutely no chance of leaking!
The students’ official scores hadn’t been released yet, and only the teachers themselves knew the specifics.
Moreover, such an almost perfect score couldn’t have been achieved by copying.
The physics teacher handed the paper to the next teacher.
Suppressing his emotions, he calmly asked, “You wrote this yourself?”
Jiang Wuyang straightened up, her expression a bit more obedient.
“Yes.”
“Don’t be nervous. I just want to ask—why did you choose liberal arts? Your physics is excellent; I believe your other science subjects aren’t bad either.”
Jiang Wuyang pressed her lips together and replied obediently, “I was immature back then and just listened to my family.”
The teacher nodded understandingly. “Well, from now on, under my guidance, you have to keep working hard! No matter how good your current grades are, if you can’t keep up later, I won’t go easy on you!”
The physics teacher’s name was Xi Wencheng. He was the homeroom teacher for the top Grade 11 Science A class and was the premier physics instructor in Yun City, responsible only for the key Grade 11 A and Grade 12 A classes.
Students studying under him generally excelled in physics.
Jiang Wuyang understood the implication behind Xi Wencheng’s words. Her eyes brightened slightly; she realized she would most likely be admitted into the A class, and it was even smoother than she expected.
Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she smiled gently. “Thank you, teacher. I will.”
Seeing Jiang Wuyang’s calm and composed demeanor, Xi Wencheng secretly nodded in approval.
At seventeen or eighteen, an age where emotions often run high, she had managed to contain herself.
Meanwhile, the other two teachers finished grading their papers.
Both scores were in the eighties.
Biology’s total score was only ninety, which was already very excellent.
Although it had only been a month since the semester started, the A class’s curriculum was more accelerated compared to the regular classes. When setting the tests, they included many Grade 11 questions.
To achieve such results without having learned new material meant Jiang Wuyang’s talent was extraordinary.
The two teachers nodded repeatedly in agreement.
It was rare to see such a well-rounded prodigy; even their class representatives had weaker subjects.
If this girl were properly nurtured, she could become a star of their school.
They wondered what her family was thinking.
Why on earth had they let her choose liberal arts in the first place?
It felt like a month of precious time was wasted on such a promising talent!
With this thought, the teachers found themselves resenting Jiang Yiran, a girl they had never met.
Xi Wencheng took back the exam paper and was about to say something when a sweet voice rang out nearby.
“Teacher Xi, I’ve collected all the homework today and placed it on your desk.”
The girl finished speaking and was about to leave.
Xi Wencheng lowered his head to look at Jiang Wuyang’s exam paper, casually nodding, then suddenly remembered something.
“Hey, Sang Wan, come here!”
“What’s up, teacher?” Sang Wan said as she approached. When she saw Jiang Wuyang, she exclaimed in surprise, “Hey! It’s you?! Jiang Wuyang?!”
Only then did Xi Wencheng lift his head from the paper and look at the two.
“What? You know each other?”
“Yes!” Before Jiang Wuyang could speak, Sang Wan shouted.
Sang Wan was Xi Wencheng’s class representative and also the leader of their Science A class.
Xi Wencheng smiled. “Well, that’s even better. You’ll be classmates from now on, so you can look out for each other.”
Sang Wan’s almond-shaped eyes widened, and her adorable doll-like face was full of delight. Was she dreaming? Just a few days ago, she wished to have a beautiful classmate, and now it had come true?
“Hello, Sang Wan,” Jiang Wuyang smiled softly.
Sang Wan’s lips couldn’t help but curl upwards. “Hello~”
Xi Wencheng clearly knew what kind of personality his class representative had.
He didn’t interfere further but waited until their chat ended before saying, “Sang Wan, come look at this exam paper.”
Sang Wan was more interested in sticking close to Jiang Wuyang than the paper.
She glanced at it casually, intending to brush it off, but was unexpectedly drawn in.
She looked at it silently, then without realizing, had already taken the paper from Xi Wencheng’s hands.
Instinctively, she exclaimed, “My goodness, teacher, whose genius is this? How can they answer all these questions? It’s incredible! You must introduce me to her!”
Xi Wencheng smiled. “The genius is right in front of you.”
“This is Jiang Wuyang’s exam paper, freshly written. You can take it back to class and study it carefully. I graded it, and it’s nearly perfect. You can reference it.”
“Also, since you’re here, take Jiang Wuyang to get familiar with the classroom later. From now on, she’ll attend classes with you. I think there’s a vacant seat near Yan Shu, right? Have her sit there first.”
Upon hearing this, Sang Wan’s face fell; her cute doll-like expression turned sour.
“Ah? Yan Shu?”
“Just take her there first. I’ll adjust the seating later.”
“Alright,” Sang Wan reluctantly agreed.
But soon after, she grew excited again.
“Wuyang, I’ll take you back to class!” Sang Wan grabbed the exam paper and linked arms with Jiang Wuyang, ready to leave.
Jiang Wuyang was still wondering who Yan Shu was.
The sudden warmth of the touch startled her.
No one had ever been this affectionate toward her before.
Previously, she had often been surrounded by senior and junior classmates but had few friends of her own.
Sometimes, when walking down the hall and seeing two girls holding hands, she’d feel a twinge of envy.
But she would quickly convince herself that the seniors were already kind enough to her, and she shouldn’t ask for more.
Looking back, perhaps her mind had been clouded back then.
Sang Wan was a renowned figure across the entire grade, a girl who consistently ranked in the top three in the sciences and was used as a benchmark by many classes.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wuyang’s reputation was infamous throughout the grade—so notorious that even dogs would sneer.
Therefore, when Sang Wan appeared at school holding Jiang Wuyang’s arm, the crowd was stunned.
The Grade 11 Liberal Arts A class erupted into wild discussion.
“Have you heard? Jiang Wuyang is transferring to the Science A class!”
“Really? Where did you hear that? A liberal arts student transferring to the key science class?”
“Why lie? It was Sang Wan, the science class leader herself, who personally took Jiang Wuyang there! She seems to value Jiang Wuyang a lot.”
“No way. Isn’t the science class homeroom teacher Xi Wencheng? Would he let Jiang Wuyang in so easily?”
“I don’t know…”
Ruan An’an sat quietly at her desk, scrolling through her phone. Hearing the chatter, her grip tightened instinctively.
Could it be true that Jiang Wuyang was really transferring to the science class?
And to the Science A class no less?
In high school, girls in the science class were considered far more impressive than those in liberal arts.
Was it possible Jiang Wuyang transferred just to attract the attention of Jiang Yiran and the others?
No matter what, now that she was gone, only she and Lin Jiachi remained in the liberal arts class…
Thinking about Lin Jiachi’s difficult nature, Ruan An’an felt a surge of frustration.
Not only was he hard to please, but his favor was hard to gain. Without Jiang Wuyang, all the work for Lin Jiachi would fall on her shoulders—and he might not even appreciate it.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, her expression turning uncontrollably fierce.
“An’an, An’an!”
A familiar voice came from outside the window.
