Chapter 284: Getting Results
At this very moment, Hao Anqi no longer had a shred of her lively and cheerful image; she was like a prisoner being interrogated, her back straight, nervously at a loss for what to do.
She bit the bullet and stiffly squeezed out a smile: "Hello, Grandma, I am Hao Anqi."
Just like that, Hao Anqi began her first conversation with Shen Nainai in a stuttering manner, and Shen Nainai greeted her three mahjong partners, letting Shen Yan play a round first.
Then she carried her notebook into the bedroom.
"Little Yan, who is that girl? She's quite pretty."
"Could she be your girlfriend?"
"Aren't you dating Youwei?"
The three mahjong partners were full of gossip.
Shen Yan explained: "That's not the case; Youwei and I are just good friends, the one just now is my girlfriend."
"Oh!" The three mahjong partners suddenly realized.
Afterward, the four of them sat down in front of the mahjong machine; Shen Nainai usually played for 2 yuan, a small gamble for fun, but Shen Yan didn't care for such small money and didn't even want to use his brain.
The main focus was on being casual.
The three mahjong partners were all women in their fifties, and facing this "greenhorn" Shen Yan, their expressions were focused, with no intention of showing any mercy.
While playing, they distracted Shen Yan, praising him for being filial and sensible, buying his grandmother a mahjong machine and a massage chair, saying it would be great if their own children were that sensible.
Shen Yan just played along; having rarely dealt with middle-aged women, he found it surprisingly interesting for the first time.
Perhaps this was the psychology of a king facing a group of noobs!
"Three of dots!"
"Pong!"
"East Wind!"
"Kong!"
Although Shen Yan barely thought about it, his luck was surprisingly good; after two rounds, nearly one hundred yuan had already appeared in front of him, and the three middle-aged women had strange expressions.
This is damn unreasonable; getting beaten at mahjong by a young man.
If word got out, people would laugh their heads off.
"Little Yan, your luck is just too good," one of the women said with a forced smile.
Shen Yan laughed it off: "Maybe it's because I'm a beginner."
The three women also felt that was the case; some beginners are really uncanny, winning no matter how they play.
The kind that makes no sense at all.
Just as the third round began, Shen Nainai walked out holding her notebook with a beaming smile on her face; it seemed the conversation had been very pleasant. Upon learning that her precious grandson had gained the upper hand against the three mahjong partners, Shen Nainai smiled even wider.
She teased: "You three are really something, you can't even beat my grandson."
The three of them put on masks of pain, their faces full of despair.
The third round ended, and Shen Yan once again reaped 22 yuan, bringing his total earnings to 110.
"Hahaha!"
Shen Nainai laughed so hard she couldn't straighten her back, while the three women were completely convinced and hurriedly shooed Shen Yan away.
This guy is extremely uncanny; he wins no matter how he plays.
Returning to his room, unsurprisingly, Shen Yan's QQ was full of messages from Hao Anqi, scolding Shen Yan for not playing fair and leaving her completely unprepared.
"Big bad guy, you've killed me."
"You did it on purpose, wanting to see me make a fool of myself."
"(Knife)(Knife)(Knife)"
"Where are you?"
"What does Grandma think of me?"
"Remember to reply to my message when you're done."
Shen Yan clicked on the video call again; at the same time, Hao Anqi, who was lying on the Large Bed nervously kicking her feet, gave a start and, using the soft elasticity in front of her, instantly bounced up.
She flew to the computer desk.
Seeing that "abominable" face again, Hao Anqi transformed into an angry bird, her mouth firing like a machine gun as she complained about Shen Yan's behavior, adding: "I'm angry, the kind that can't be coaxed."
Shen Yan sighed faintly: "Since you can't be coaxed, then I won't waste the effort. Bye-bye!"
Although she knew her little boyfriend was joking, Hao Anqi couldn't help but be the first to give in, pouting: "Don't you dare hang up, what did Grandma say to you just now?"
Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and said truthfully: "She's playing mahjong there, how would she have time to talk to me? But she looked quite happy."
Speaking of this, Shen Yan switched to a flippant tone: "Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. Grandma usually respects my wishes. As long as you serve this master well, in the future..."
"Who wants to serve you, you big pervert!"
Not knowing what shy image she thought of, a blush appeared on Hao Anqi's cheeks.
Next door at the Yu Family.
Yu Youwei posted the photos of the meal at the Shen Family to the dorm group.
"The chef cooked personally today, so delicious!"
Luo Qiqi: "(Drooling)(Drooling)"
Yuan Mingqing: "Why does it feel like both sides are meeting the parents?"
Chen Shanni: "(Sweating)"
Wu Yue'er: "If she were really meeting the parents, she wouldn't say it like that."
Yu Youwei: "(Angry) No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak."
Wu Yue'er: "Don't be so hot-headed, anger hurts the body."
Yu Youwei: "Don't want to talk to you (Grinning)"
Below was a string of enumeration commas.
Similar situations had been playing out almost every day during this period; the three women were long since accustomed to it, the only thing they couldn't understand being why Yu Youwei was hostile toward Wu Yue'er.
When asked for the reason, she would remain silent.
The three women wanted to mediate, but had no idea where to start.
How could a single word "worry" describe it all!
At this moment, Pang Weijie tagged everyone in the class group chat, saying that the exam results had been posted on the academic affairs website and telling everyone to go check their grades quickly.
This sentence was like a bombshell, causing a huge stir in the class group chat; the originally quiet group instantly became lively, with all sorts of discussions emerging one after another.
Some piously prayed to Buddha, hoping not to fail any subjects; others were full of confidence, pretentiously spouting bold words like "the scholarship belongs to me."
There were also some students who had already checked their grades, watching the various comments in the group with indifference, possessing a sense of superiority like "everyone is drunk while I alone am sober."
Then, everyone checked their own grades, and the students who did well began to show off their results.
University grading systems are mainly divided into 4-point and 5-point scales; Hangzhou University uses a 5-point scale, where 60 points in a single course is the passing line, earning 1 grade point, and for every additional point, 0.1 grade point is added—for example, a score of 81 equals 3.1 grade points.
An average grade point of 4 is considered excellent.
The importance of grade points goes without saying, as they are closely related to awards, honors, scholarships, and scientific research.
Pang Weijie, the "Guangxi cousin," was usually mocked for his non-standard Mandarin and for being unsuited for the legal profession, but this time he took the lead, being the first to show off results that blinded everyone.
All scores were above 90, with an average grade point of 4.31.
Lin Yang was the one who liked to make fun of him the most, so Pang Weijie immediately tagged Lin Yang: "How about it, buddy, are these grades alright?"
Lin Yang didn't make a sound.
Following that, other students showed off their transcripts one after another.
Yu Youwei had a grade point of 4.55, Luo Qiqi 4.47, Yuan Mingqing 3.92, Tang Song 4.23...
It could be said that the strong were as numerous as clouds, giving one the feeling that "the heroes of the world come from our generation."
As for those students who usually slacked off in their studies, they collectively went silent and didn't say a word.
At this time, some students became curious about what kind of astonishing record Shen Yan, the best at studying, would have.
They tagged him in the group one after another.
As a result, Shen Yan replied with this:
"Uh... who can tell me what the login password for the academic affairs website is again?"
