Back to my parents when I was seventeen

When this name appeared in the classroom, all the students raised their heads and looked at the person not far away.

Shen Sinian paused and looked at the classmate who called his name, "What's wrong?"

"...You are the student who got zero in math?" the student blurted out in shock.

Shen Sinian exclaimed, and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly at dozens of pairs of eyes, slightly puzzled, "Am I the only one in the whole school who got a zero?"

Didn’t anyone else get zero marks?

After hearing his question, a classmate choked up, "...If you just guess randomly on the multiple-choice questions, you won't get zero marks."

Shen Sinian suddenly realized, "That's right."

He forgot that.

Everyone: "..."

"Did you not write it on purpose?" someone asked.

Just as Shen Sinian was about to answer, the bell for class rang. He touched his nose and said casually, "I don't know how to do it."

"..."

Who is he trying to fool?

After walking to his seat and sitting down, Shen Sinian looked up and met Xu Chuning's deadly gaze. He was slightly embarrassed and whispered, "I'll explain it to you at noon."

Xu Chu Ning: "Let's go to class first."

The fact that someone got zero in math in this monthly exam was not only known to students in the regular class, but also spread to the international class.

After the second class, when Shen Yubai just woke up, Ban Shu came up to him and said, "Brother Yu, do you know what earth-shattering thing Shen Sinian did?"

Shen Yubai: "...what?"

He rubbed his sleepy brows and asked, "He got first place in the grade?"

"?"

Ban Shu: "Are you a little too confident about your brother?"

Shen Yubai gave him a neutral look.

Ban Shu said, "He didn't rank first, but he ranked last in one subject."

Shen Yubai frowned.

Banshu: "Guess which subject it is?"

Shen Yubai glanced at him and was silent. "Mathematics?"

"How did you guess so accurately?" Ban Shu was shocked.

Shen Yubai did not answer his question directly. He was silent for a moment and asked calmly, "What about his other subjects? How did he do?"

"It is said that he got full marks in several subjects. I am not sure about the details, but I know that he got zero in math." Ban Shu sighed, "Do you think he did it on purpose?"

"What else?" Shen Yubai said.

Banshu frowned, very puzzled, "Why?"

"Their math teacher asked for it," Shen Yubai said.

Banshu: “Ah?”

He didn't know that Lai Yongliang treated Xu Chuning differently.

Shen Yubai didn't say much. He lowered his eyes and asked, "Where is she?"

Banshu: “Who?”

He didn't react immediately.

Shen Yubai glanced at him lazily. Ban Shu uttered "oh" twice and touched his nose, "I'll ask my brother."

He had no contact information for Xu Chuning, but he and Shen Sinian added each other on QQ at the video game arcade on Saturday.

Shen Yubai said nothing more.

In math class, Shen Sinian was not surprised to be ridiculed by Lai Yongliang, who said that he did not take the exam seriously and treated it as a joke. After class, he even called Shen Sinian to his office.

It was pretty much what Shen Sinian had expected, but he ignored Lai Yongliang's reprimand and didn't take it to heart at all.

What he didn't expect was that when he came out of the office, Xu Chu Ning would be standing at the door waiting for him.

When their eyes met, Shen Sinian realized belatedly that he felt a little guilty, "... Ningning."

He admitted his mistake in advance, "I will correct it next time."

There was no way he could say he didn't do it on purpose.

Xu Chuning: “…”

Shen Sinian had said everything, and she seemed to have nothing to say now.

After a moment of silence, Xu Chu Ning whispered, "I know you are venting your anger on my behalf and deliberately want to embarrass him, but there is no need to do so."

She said to Shen Sinian seriously, "The more he treats us differently, the more we have to slap him in the face and let him know that even if we come from a poor family and don't have great teachers to train us or after-school tutoring, we can still get good grades."

Xu Chuning knew very well why Lai Yongliang looked down on her.

In addition to the fact that her math score was the worst among all subjects, the most fundamental reason why he looked down on Xu Chuning was that she came from a poor family. She did not have a good background and was just an ordinary student. Even if she had good grades and was admitted to university in the future, she would not necessarily be able to do better than other students with better backgrounds.

Some people are born in Rome, which may be a height that many ordinary people cannot reach even if they work hard all their lives.

"But..." Speaking of birth, Shen Sinian was even more puzzled, "You are obviously..."

"Shen Sinian." Xu Chuning called his name in time.

He lowered his head and met Xu Chuning's eyes.

Xu Chu Ning's expression was rather serious, and he said softly, "Don't mention this matter again."

Shen Sinian pursed his lips, feeling a little aggrieved, "Ningning, why?"

He knew that Xu Chuning didn't want to make You Shuzhen sad, so she never mentioned her life experience. However, she clearly knew that she was the daughter of the Xu family, and clearly knew that Xu Zhiyan was the fake daughter of the Xu family, so why didn't she expose her, and why didn't she go back to the Xu family.

Hearing Shen Sinian's question, Xu Chu Ning raised his eyes and looked away, "I can't answer this question for you for now."

Shen Sinian: "...Okay."

He sighed and did not ask Xu Chuning any more questions. "If you don't want to tell us, we won't tell you."

As they were talking, the two returned to the classroom.

"Shen Sinian, did Lai Fengzi scold you?" a classmate asked.

Shen Sinian: "Yes."

He didn't show any sign of being depressed after being scolded.

Other students, "Are you okay?"

"Not bad," Shen Sinian smiled at the student who was worried about him, "Don't worry, everyone. He can't do anything to me."

Everyone: "..."

Come to think of it, Shen Sinian is the first student who dares to go against Lai Yongliang. Instead of worrying about him, it is better to worry about yourself.

Within the morning, all the students in the grade knew that the transfer student had scored full marks in English and geography in the monthly exams, and had performed exceptionally well in all other subjects except mathematics.

At lunch, Yu Gaoyi came to look for Shen Sinian. When they met in the cafeteria, Yu Gaoyi gave Shen Sinian a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are awesome."

He was shocked and said, "You know, I thought you were just writing nonsense during the exam."

Shen Sinian said calmly, "I know."

Yu Gaoyi: "...Why didn't you explain it at the time?"

"What do you want to explain?" Shen Sinian felt that there was nothing to explain. "Don't you know it now?"

Yu Gaoyi choked.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Chu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "He has good grades to begin with, he didn't hide it from you on purpose."

Yu Gaoyi was startled and smiled: "I don't care about this."

There was no way he would be angry with Shen Sinian over such a small matter. He hooked his arm around Shen Sinian's shoulder and asked curiously, "Tell me more about your specialties that I don't know about."

Shen Sinian said proudly, "There are so many more. I can't finish talking about them even if I talk for three days and three nights."

Yu Gaoyi: “…”

How come this person is still narcissistic?

A few people got their food and found a seat to sit down.

Yu Gaoyi and Shen Sinian were chatting happily, and Xu Chuning was also talking to Deng Xitong.

As he was speaking, a familiar voice came into his ears, "Is anyone here?"

Xu Chu Ning looked up and saw Shen Yubai standing next to him.

Their eyes met for a few seconds, and she shook her head silently, "No."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Yubai sat down next to Xu Chuning.
