Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1266 - 833: As Expected (Part 2)

How could such an outstanding Zuo Jiang do worse than Lin Chuxia?

That Lin Chuxia, who got in through connections, how could she have better grades than Zuo Jiang?! So, there must be a mistake with the exam scores, she has to verify it!

Lin Mengye wasn’t the only one skeptical, as when Chuxia’s scores were announced, many students in the class gave her complicated looks. If Elder Yuan weren’t present, they might have already started muttering sour words.

Chuxia had anticipated this outcome for a while, and she wasn’t particularly upset. She never hid her relationship with Elder Yuan, so most of the classmates knew. Let them think what they want; this wasn’t the only subject being tested. With more exams in the future, her consistent performance would naturally silence everyone’s doubts.

However, the overwhelming attention was overwhelming, and even though Chuxia didn’t care, it was uncomfortable. She muttered to herself, "We’re all college students here, it’s just one exam, is it worth all this fuss?"

This attitude was far removed from her college days when just passing was considered a triumph. But as Elder Yuan said, different circumstances bring different mindsets.

And including herself, the attitude toward grades has evolved from what it once was. Though it’s partly to silence gossip, make her parents proud, and show Zhou Mikang that sponsoring her was worthwhile, her mindset is still different.

The procedure for distributing exams was similar to that in middle and primary schools, and the following process was also alike—going over the exam sheets.

With so many failing, individually addressing each wouldn’t be feasible, so Elder Yuan began explaining from the start, question by question, summarizing the simple ones and detailing the more difficult ones.

This was to accommodate most students. For those who scored over eighty, it was a waste of time. However, since 80-90% hadn’t performed well, it was the only feasible method.

During the lecture, Lin Mengye continuously checked her exam sheet but found no errors. To validate her suspicion, she rechecked the sheets of two classmates beside her, yielding the same results.

This left her uncertain about her distrust of Lin Mengran and Chuxia’s scores. However, the thought of both outperforming her was unsettling.

In truth, the grades didn’t matter much to her; she had no interest in being a lifelong doctor. Being here was merely to catch Zuo Jiang’s attention.

However, her appearance didn’t seem to attract Zuo Jiang, leaving her only with her talents. Now, even her talents were uncertain, making her question the purpose of staying.

No...

She glanced discreetly at Zuo Jiang’s profile, and her determination intensified. She observed that her sister seemed interested in Zuo Jiang too. No way would she let her sister get ahead.

Especially noticing that Zuo Jiang seemed to treat her sister better than her, she couldn’t bear to wait any longer. Besides, there were many matters at home awaiting her attention, and the longer she lingered, the more disadvantageous it became.

Li Xinlou’s feelings were as complex as Lin Mengye’s.

He had hoped to turn things around with this exam. After observing for a long time, he was sure Li Xinli was a particularly traditional girl who valued a man’s achievements and abilities. If he outperformed others, she would surely notice and agree to be with him.

But now, his performance wasn’t better than hers, so how could he attract her? He checked the exam again and again but found nothing questionable.

Distracted by these thoughts, he hardly listened to Elder Yuan’s lecture. As Elder Yuan dismissed the class, he regretted not paying attention, wondering if any of the allegedly wrong answers were actually misjudged...

His mood began to lift slightly amidst the post-class chatter.

Without reservation, quite a few classmates openly questioned if Chuxia’s scores were flawed. Two girls even walked up to Chuxia, directly asking if Elder Yuan had gone over the questions with her before the exam.
