Chapter 311: Min Yu’s Heart Felt Stifled
If it was a call from someone at Tsing University, it meant the heats’ results were out, right?
The teachers waited for the Principal to go on.
The Principal coughed and stopped holding them in suspense. “Only the students from No.1 Middle School made it into the finals.”
He paused before he landed the bombshell on them. “Huo Yao was the only student who ranked first with full marks.”
The only student who ranked first with full marks?! The moment he finished his sentence, all the teachers were astounded.
Since the International Quiz Contest could not compare with a regular school exam, Huo Yao could only be described as a prodigy.
Chen Yu was at the meeting as well, and her eyes turned red when she heard her student’s name.
She had been worried that Huo Yao might not be able to catch up with the studies in the Experimental Class when she first joined the school. As the time went by, Huo Yao surprised Chen Yu time and time again.
On the other side, Wei Mingzhe sat with his head lowered. Upon closer scrutiny, one would be able to see his right hand shivering as it rested on the table.
Huo Yao was first in the nationals and the international heats. If everything went smoothly, she would most likely attain the topmost rank at the international finals tomorrow... A bitter taste emerged inside Wei Mingzhe’s mouth.
If only he hadn’t been judgmental about Huo Yao in the beginning.

Meanwhile, in the villa.
“Miss Huo’s results for the heats are out.” Yang Yi sat with a laptop on his lap. The International Quiz Contest scoring system was displayed on the screen.
Zhuo Yun came closer and asked excitedly. “How much did she score?”
“She came first.” Yang Yi pursed his lips. “She even got full marks.”
Zhuo Yun went into a daze. “Yi, I honestly used to think Miss Huo had the same kind of grades I did while I was in school.”
Yang Yi looked at him contemptuously. “How can you compare to her?”
“Sigh! Regular people will never understand geniuses,” muttered Zhuo Yun.
Yang Yi logged out of the system before turning off the laptop.
Yang Yi and Zhuo Yun instantly straightened their bodies when they spotted Min Yu coming down from the second floor.
Zhuo Yun coughed and said, “Yu, Miss Huo scored full marks and is ranked first in the heats. She’s absolutely brilliant.”
Min Yu glanced at him. “Do you have nothing better to do today?”
He sat down and leaned into the couch lazily.
Zhuo Yun hurriedly got up. “Oh, I forgot about my appointment with our next-door neighbor to talk about buying their place. Yu, I’m off.”
And Zhuo Yun fled.
Yang Yi stood up and followed behind Zhuo Yun. “I’ll go help him.”
Then he left too.
Their boss had been in an odd mood off late. Each time Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi talked about Huo Yao, he would look at them so coldly that it sent chills down their spines.
Hence, they did their utmost to avoid him.
Min Yu pulled out his phone and sent a text: [Congrats for achieving the first rank.]
Huo Yao was in the hotel when she received Min Yu’s message. She raised her brow and replied: [Thanks.]
She paused before she added: [Are you feeling better?]
Ever since she concocted the medicine for him, she was busy practicing the past quiz questions that the Principal gave her, and did not have time to check on his condition.
Min Yu rubbed the screen before he replied: [Not too good.]
Huo Yao frowned and replied: [?]
Min Yu adjusted his position and replied with a languid expression: [My chest feels a little stifled.]
