Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wan Zhiyuan reached out to open the computer, immediately giving Xiao Hua a fright!

"Don't!"

Xiao Hua hurriedly stopped him.

He hadn't had time to close this computer yet; he had only shut it. If opened, the images playing on Yuan Bo would immediately appear before Wan Zhiyuan's eyes.

He didn't want Wan Zhiyuan to see it, otherwise it would pollute his pure spiritual world.

"What's wrong?"

Wan Zhiyuan felt baffled, his face displeased:

"Xiao Hua, this isn't right of you. I applied for the Chemical Battery Laboratory and even let you share it, yet you have so little study material and won't let me look? You're being rather petty."

"No, I didn't say you couldn't look, it's just..." Xiao Hua's face was full of embarrassment, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain.

"Just what?" Wan Zhiyuan was even more puzzled.

"This study material isn't ordinary study material. You're a few years younger than me and Wei Qian; it's not suitable for you to see this kind of study material..." Xiao Hua could only explain tactfully.

"Not ordinary study material?" Wan Zhiyuan was puzzled for a moment, then immediately said: "Then it's even more worth looking at! Good fellow! You two are hiding good things from me—do you take me as an outsider?"

"No, I don't mean that, don't misunderstand..." Xiao Hua wanted to continue explaining, but found he couldn't explain.

Wan Zhiyuan directly reached out to open the computer:

"I want to see what good study material you have, that you hide it like this!"

Xiao Hua wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

As soon as the computer opened, the paused movie image from Yuan Bo directly impacted Wan Zhiyuan's eyes.

Wan Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of embarrassment, and he couldn't speak.

Xiao Hua hurriedly closed the computer, laughing dryly:

"I said it's not ordinary study material, why don't you believe me..."

Wan Zhiyuan came back to his senses, staring at Xiao Hua with a face full of contempt:

"Is that all your ambition is? We came to Tsinghua University to study, not for you to sneak around looking at these filthy things! Can you still do research properly?"

Wan Zhiyuan's reaction was beyond Xiao Hua's expectations.

Unexpectedly, Wan Zhiyuan actually got angry.

But his anger was understandable.

After Wan Zhiyuan got into the laboratory, the reason he brought Xiao Hua along to do experiments was because he felt Xiao Hua had the grit to endure hardship, and the spirit of focusing wholeheartedly on study.

As long as he had this drive and spirit, even if his aptitude was a bit lacking, he should be able to achieve a certain level in academic research.

But now Xiao Hua was actually secretly watching films in the dormitory—truly degenerate, leaving him greatly disappointed!

"I said, why haven't you come to the laboratory these past two days!"

Wan Zhiyuan was still accusing him angrily.

Xiao Hua's face was full of apology:

"Zhiyuan, I told you, my girlfriend came to Beijing to find me. I might not have time to go to the laboratory these days, and you agreed to it before."

Wan Zhiyuan then remembered that he had indeed agreed before.

Just now he had been too angry for a moment, to the point of losing his reason.

He himself was a perfectionist; while pursuing perfection himself, he also hoped the people around him could pursue perfection.

He thought Xiao Hua was someone who moved at the same pace as him.

But just now seeing Xiao Hua actually degenerate into a common person, the psychological gap was too great, which was why he flew into a rage.

"Fine, fine, do whatever you want, I can't control you."

Wan Zhiyuan turned around to his desk under the bed, organizing today's experimental data, and no longer paid attention to Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua also had no mood to watch that movie, and hurried over to say to Wan Zhiyuan:

"Don't worry. Once Jianjia leaves, I will definitely devote myself wholeheartedly to my studies inside, and won't neglect my studies."

Wan Zhiyuan suddenly sneered:

"Do you know how ridiculous what you just said is? You can't have both fish and bear's paw. You're dating at a time like this—where's the energy for studying? In my opinion, you'd better break up with your girlfriend quickly. You're only a freshman; what's the point of messing around with all that nonsense? Anyway, you two definitely can't end up together in the end, so you might as well break up now!"

Xiao Hua laughed, embarrassed but still polite.

Wan Zhiyuan's words were a bit excessive.

Even if he wasn't optimistic about Xiao Hua and Li Jianjia's romance, he shouldn't say such overstepping words.

After all, he was only Xiao Hua's roommate, not a relative; a proper sense of boundaries was still needed.

"Don't worry, I said I won't neglect my studies, so I won't neglect my studies."

Xiao Hua was a bit displeased in his heart. He was a very competitive person; when others weren't optimistic about him, he would compete with them.

Additionally, he sincerely felt that dating Li Jianjia would not affect his studies, because Li Jianjia was also someone who loved studying. Li Jianjia even said she wanted to take the graduate school exam at Tsinghua University. The two of them could actually progress together.

However, Wan Zhiyuan suddenly said at this moment:

"The final exam scores are out. You'd better check your scores first before saying that."

Xiao Hua was stunned:

"The scores are already out?"

He then hurriedly logged into the school's academic affairs system to check his final exam scores.

He found he had done well enough on the exam, with most subjects above ninety, only Higher Mathematics was a bit off at eighty-seven, and his GPA was 4.0; this result was decent enough.

It was just that no ranking was given above, so he didn't know how he ranked in the class.

Wang Xiaohua thought that the ranking for this result should probably still be decent.

However, Wan Zhiyuan said:

"I've seen the whole class's grade sheets; your GPA can only be counted as below average, and your Higher Mathematics score is even third from the bottom of the class."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua trembled immediately, his face full of surprise.

Wan Zhiyuan then said again:

"You're a university student from a rural area; your starting point was originally poor, your aptitude isn't high either, and now you're distracted by romance. I think you're not suited for research, so don't come to the laboratory anymore. After you graduate from your undergraduate studies, just go back to your hometown to get married and have children."

Wan Zhiyuan's eyes held undisguised contempt; actually, ever since he learned Wang Xiaohua was in love, he had started looking down on Wang Xiaohua in his heart, thinking Wang Xiaohua was a person of limited means and ambition, with no great aspirations.

Faced with Wan Zhiyuan's scolding, Wang Xiaohua was speechless for a moment.

He knew Wan Zhiyuan wasn't lying or exaggerating.

His eighty-seven on the Higher Mathematics final exam might have been a relatively good score at another university, but at Tsinghua University, this score was clearly not impressive.

Because this university was full of students with extraordinary aptitude, students who got in through competitions—needless to say, how extraordinary they were—and students who got in through the college entrance exam; if their college entrance exam math wasn't a perfect score, they were too embarrassed to talk about their math grades.

Under these circumstances, you only scored eighty-seven on your Higher Mathematics final exam in your first semester; if you're not the tail of the class, who is?

And when the final exam took place, he hadn't yet started dating Li Jianjia.

That is to say, this score was achieved with a hundred percent effort without interference from outside factors.

He was sure he wasn't the most talented at Tsinghua University, but he was one of the hardest working, yet he was still near the bottom, still the tail of the class.

How great the blow to his inner heart was, only he himself knew.
