Chapter 459: By Accident

The weekend flew by, and the joint exam results were released as scheduled.

When Mu Youyu arrived at school, everyone in the classroom was discussing this exam's results.

Overall, Class 1 did well this time; most of the students who had been recommended for admission were also asked by classmates to take the exam.

She sat down, opened her phone, and started looking at the ranking list.

Considering only the cultural score, she ranked second in the joint exam of the two schools; glancing at the list, the first place was Mu Xi, four points ahead of her.

Jiang Liangjin followed closely, just two points behind her.

There is also a total ranking that includes the comprehensive quality assessment; Mu Youyu's placement is not as outstanding there.

Grade 3 Class 1 and the neighboring Lan Lin have several talents who signed up for dozens of comprehensive quality items; their combined scores far outstrip those of the later examinees.

Seeing this, the Class 1 students were stunned.

"This ranking is way too inflated? Jiang Ji's score must be from having too much free time and just grinding it out!"

Mu Youyu glanced at the comprehensive ranking table and saw Jiang Ji's name at the top, with a cultural score of 690…

Adding the comprehensive quality scores gives over 200 points, bringing the total to over 900, just one point ahead of second place.

They really have the energy.

"Maybe they ate too much… just bored out of their minds."

"This is just testing ability; I don't know why they made this table—having the cultural score ranking would be enough."

"How am I just one point off? So boring."

"The recommended admission doesn't even look at this, so taking the exam was pointless."

"You can't say that; if they ever apply to foreign schools, this still has reference value."

"You're applying to foreign schools? Did you pass?"

"... Can you stop bringing up the sore spot?"

Yu Ci stood up and leaned forward, "No way, is Mu Xi really that strong?"

Mu Xi had no sense of the exam's difficulty, afraid that scoring too high or too low would keep them from being near their sister, so they usually aimed to get a few extra points—"... I accidentally scored high."

Yu Ci stared at the comprehensive ranking table for several seconds, then turned to Mu Xi, expression complicated, "Accidentally? You call this an accident?"

Mu Xi's expression didn't change, "Yeah, I didn't control it well."

Song Lujing leaned back in the chair, "Yeah, I believe it."

Yu Ci spread their hands, "What do you think of those who fought tooth and nail just to get a 680?"

Song Lujing helped reply, "Just think like you do."

The 680-scoring Yu Ci was speechless, then turned to Jiang Liangjin, "And you? Are you also just accidentally high-scoring?"

Jiang Liangjin was flipping through their phone, hearing this without looking up, "I didn't even get first place."

Having said that, Yu Ci feared self‑embarrassment and changed the subject: "What's this comprehensive quality thing? How did the three of you end up with the same score?"

Mu Youyu: "We just took it like that, signed up for a few items, and stopped testing once the scores equalized."

"You really are something."

Zhou Laoshi walked into the classroom with their usual smile, hands on the podium, gaze sweeping the class, "Have you all seen the results?"

A few scattered responses came from below.

"Any thoughts?"

A classmate raised their hand, "If I may share a thought, I hope the next exam is also a joint one—can we still crush Lan Lin?"

Laughter rang out in the classroom.

Mu Youyu had a book standing on their desk, lying prone and playing a co‑op mini‑game with Jiang Liangjin.

Song Lujing's posture was rare in matching their sibling's.

Zhou Laoshi sighed, "Even with your other scores, this time you didn't beat them in comprehensive quality."

"Who's like that idle Jiang Ji, taking so many subjects?"

"Exactly, it's just Mu Xi letting them have it!"

"If our class got serious, we could easily grab five hundred points from the extra credit."

Mu Xi raised their eyebrows, "Once you add my competition bonus, I surpass them."
