Chapter 9: Chapter 9 I'm the First!
As Lin Tian hurried towards the classroom, a person ran ahead of him into the classroom. That was Lin Tian's classmate, Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong with a whoosh charged into the classroom, and directly sprinted to the lectern.
"Clap clap!" Watching the classmates below chatting and reading, Wang Zhong clapped his hands sharply.
Hearing the slapping sound from the lectern, all the students below raised their heads to look up at the lectern.
After gathering the attention of the students below, Wang Zhong seemed a bit exaggerated as he waved his hands, "Classmates, the names of the top two hundred students from the monthly exam have been announced!"
"Announced? If it's announced, then it's announced, so what!" Many of the students below spoke indifferently upon hearing this topic.
Everyone knew their own situations and that the names of the top two hundred students from the monthly exam would be posted on the blackboard of the teaching building this afternoon.
But even though they knew, not many people in the class were concerned because this was a poor-performing class; there was hardly anyone within the top two hundred.
If it didn't concern them, they naturally wouldn't care.
Seeing the indifferent attitude of the students below, Wang Zhong got anxious and shouted, "This time it's different, do you know who the first place is this time?"
"Who could it be, if not Leng Bing? It couldn't possibly be Lin Tian, could it!" A boy below shouted somewhat impatiently.
Who the first place was? There was no need to ask, it was definitely Leng Bing; she had dominated the first place for a long time.
Hearing what the boy said, Wang Zhong with a smack hit the lectern forcefully and shouted, "That's right! It is Lin Tian who's the first place, 704 points, a full 50 points ahead of Leng Bing!"
"Ah?"
"Ah?"
A chorus of astonishment echoed through the room.
Stunned for a moment, incredulous voices rose in the classroom, "Impossible, how could that loser Lin Tian score 700? If he could, I'd go **** myself!"
"Exactly, exactly! How could that be possible!" A wave of skeptical voices filled the air.
"It's true! It's true!" Wang Zhong shouted, "I just saw it downstairs, if you don't believe it, you can go see for yourselves!"
"Impossible! Completely impossible!"
Everyone was in disbelief. Hearing Wang Zhong's words, people immediately got up, prepared to go out. They wanted to see for themselves if it was true!
They knew Lin Tian's academic performance too well, how could it possibly reach seven hundred points.
Instantly, a group of students was ready to leave the classroom.
But before they could step out, a figure suddenly appeared at the classroom door—Lin Tian.
Seeing Lin Tian, the classmates' eyes brightened, and they gathered around him, eagerly asking, "Lin Tian, we heard you got first in the grade? Is it true or false?"
"Yeah, is it true?" The classmates asked one after another.
Noticing everyone's gazes, Lin Tian's eyes swept across their faces and he nodded slightly, "Of course!" His tone was very calm.
He wasn't surprised by the result at all!
But Lin Tian not being surprised didn't stop others from being astonished!
"Impossible!" Someone immediately contradicted him, "You got first place? What kind of international joke is that!"
"If you don't believe it, then forget it!" Lin Tian shrugged indifferently, pushed through the crowd with his hand, and walked in with a composed expression.
"Impossible!" Despite Lin Tian's affirmative answer, most people still didn't believe it.
Thinking it over, these people all left the classroom, running downstairs.
They wanted to see on the blackboard downstairs if Lin Tian really did achieve first place.

Meanwhile, in the teachers' office on the other side, there was also a lively atmosphere.
"How did this Lin Tian score so well? Could he have cheated?" A teacher questioned.
"Impossible, didn't we discuss it this morning? Those test papers were just composed by us, some were even made the same day as the exam, cheating is impossible!" A teacher immediately countered.
As for whether Lin Tian cheated or not, the outcome was actually already determined in the morning.
And that outcome was that it was impossible!
Because the monthly test papers were collectively compiled by the teachers, some were even written in the morning and taken in the afternoon. There was no possibility of any leaks.
As for the possibility of Lin Tian cheating with a book, that was virtually impossible as well because the score he got was too good, a 700. Even if some tried to copy, they couldn't reach that score.
Because this was a science subject, it wasn't just about rote memorization.
After discussing it in the morning, although the result was somewhat unbelievable, everyone still agreed that Lin Tian had done the test on his own!
At that moment, He Qianqian was in the office, holding Lin Tian's biology test paper in her hand.
This biology test paper was basically flawless. Lin Tian's handwriting wasn't pretty, but his answering was very meticulous.
Looking at this nearly perfect test paper, a trace of doubt flashed in He Qianqian's eyes. She thought about the Lin Tian she knew, the somewhat mischievous boy, and his confident smile.
After a moment of silence, He Qianqian looked up at the discussing teachers and said, "Maybe he really is that good. Maybe he just doesn't like to show off normally!"
"Who would hide their abilities for no reason!" someone retorted.
"But how do you explain it then?"
"Let's wait for the next monthly test. If his scores are still good next time, then it really proves that he is indeed that good!"
...
Watching the teachers in the office discuss, He Qianqian didn't speak; she suddenly felt a new sense of curiosity about Lin Tian.
This student seemed not as simple as she had imagined.
As He Qianqian was deep in thought, the bell for class suddenly rang.
Hearing the bell, He Qianqian collected her thoughts, picked up the test paper and textbook, and prepared for class.
As He Qianqian was leaving the teacher's office, on the other side, Wang Feng also came out of the classroom office with test papers in hand.
"Qianqian!" Seeing He Qianqian, Wang Feng hurriedly followed her.
Having caught up to He Qianqian, Wang Feng glanced at her and said, "I heard Lin Tian ranked first in your class?"
"Yes!" He Qianqian nodded.
"You..." Wang Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he seemed hesitant.
Noticing Wang Feng's hesitation, He Qianqian turned her head and looked at him with curiosity, "Just say what you want to say."
"You, you wouldn't really kiss him, would you?" Wang Feng looked at He Qianqian with some concern.
"Ah?" Hearing this, He Qianqian was taken aback, then she remembered something. She had been so absorbed by the shock of Lin Tian getting first place that she had almost forgotten about the bet. Only now did she remember.
After a pause, He Qianqian shook her head and laughed, "How could I?"
"That's good to hear!" Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He would have been furious if he knew that He Qianqian had actually kissed Lin Tian.

Lingling…
With the ringing of the class bell, all the students who had been surrounding Lin Tian returned to their seats.
The ones who didn't believe Lin Tian had scored first finally gave up when they saw the names posted on the blackboard. Then these students gathered around Lin Tian.
Asking all sorts of questions.
Asking if he cheated.
Asking what was going on.
Everyone was shocked that Lin Tian had achieved the first place, as if they had seen two suns appearing in the sky all of a sudden.
Lin Tian just casually dealt with them, waiting for the class to start.
As the bell for class rang, Lin Tian looked towards the classroom door.
This class was He Qianqian's, and she would be arriving soon.
Lingling…
When the second bell sounded, the figure of He Qianqian appeared at the classroom door…
