Chapter 38 It’s god, not human, envy is impossible.

Every time there was a monthly exam at No. 1 High School, they will issue a report card which details the scores of each subject and the overall ranking, leaving a space for parents’ signature.
In order to prevent fraud, the report card is also stamped with the official seal of the Academic Affairs Office. It cannot be photocopied and of course, cannot be tampered with.
This was not the first time Han Yunru had received her report card, but it was the first time she stared at the numbers for so long.
Then she looked up in confusion and asked, “Honey, am I seeing things?”
Jiang Da was wiping his sweat with a damp towel. At her words, he paused, “What?”
“Come here.”
“?”
“Take a look at how many marks Yunyue got for each subject.”
“Isn’t it all written here? Chinese 150, Math 150, English 150, pretty neat, and 300 for the science section, total…”
As he finished reading, Jiang Da realized something was wrong, and his eyes mirrored his wife’s confusion.
It was Little Brother Jiang who reacted quickly and jumped up in excitement, “Sis got full marks! Full marks in every subject! She’s in first place!”
The couple was completely stunned.
They looked at each other in confusion.
It wasn’t until Jiang Fuyue came out of the kitchen that Jiang Da said, “Yu, Yueyue, did you… get first place this time?”
“Yep.” She said calmly.
“!”
Little Brother Jiang ran over, hugged her leg, looked up at her with undisguised admiration and worship, and said, “Sis is the best!”
“Have you finished your math paper?”
“…”
On Wednesday afternoon, Jiang Fuyue received a wave of gazes as soon as she stepped into the Physics Olympiad class.
Then, whispered discussions began to brew.
She ignored them and walked in with her school bag.
Liu Bowen waved at her and said, “Here–“
Jiang Fuyue walked over, sat down next to him, and pulled out the stack of papers that Meng Zhijian had handed her two days ago from her school bag. She went to bed early last night and still had two papers left to do.
She began to fill in the answers with her head down.
Yes, from Liu Bowen’s perspective, she was just filling in the answers! She seamlessly switched between questions, finished one blank, and continued to the next without any pause. She could flip to another page in three minutes without using any scratch paper, it looked no different from copying answers.
Although he had heard many times from Wan Xiutong boasting about how amazing her seatmate was, seeing it with his own eyes was another matter.
“Don’t you need to think?” he asked.
“How do you know I’m not?” Jiang Fuyue replied.
“But you didn’t even take out scratch paper…”
“Who said you had to use scratch paper?”
Liu Bowen: “…”
Even when she was talking to him, Jiang Fuyue’s pen did not stop.
In eight minutes, Liu Bowen watched her finish two test papers. Just as Meng Zhijian entered the classroom, she put down her pen.
Thus, his academic excellence suffered an unprecedented blow.
Meng Zhijian stood on the podium and first introduced the new member of the class, Jiang Fuyue, then announced the news that the school would issue a monthly personal subsidy of 500 yuan.
“So, our physics competition class finally stands up and can enjoy the same treatment as the math class?”
“When did the school become so generous?”
“…”
Having said what needed to be said, Meng Zhijian didn’t delay any longer and started the class.
Ten minutes later, everyone realized that something was wrong –
Why couldn’t they understand what was being taught today?
Is this a physics problem?
Why can Avogadro’s law derive these unheard-of things?
Even Liu Bowen was a little confused. Did the difficulty level have to be raised so much?
All the faces were bewildered except for… Jiang Fuyue.
She hadn’t come in before and didn’t know the difficulty, so she thought this was normal. However, in her opinion, it was still a little shallow.
It should be noted that the physics system is vast, with many branches, and different research directions are a whole new field.
For example, under mechanics, there are statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, analytical mechanics, kinematics, solid mechanics, material mechanics, composite material mechanics, rheology, and so on.
Even at the competition level, high school physics only stays at the overview and only scratches the surface.
If one wants to conduct in-depth research in a specific branch and achieve results, it will consume a person’s lifetime of time and energy.
And that is the greatness of scientists!
The first class ended, and the atmosphere in the class was heavy.
Before this, the difficulty level of the physics training of the Physics Olympiad class was equivalent to that of the honors class. The content was more complicated than the classroom, but it was far from reaching the competition standard. Most people could keep up.
But now, Meng Zhijian clearly didn’t intend to continue “hiding” like this. “I believe that after the last class, everyone has a clear understanding of the difficulty level of the future training. Those who want to and have the confidence to stand on the IPhO podium, stay; those who find it difficult to keep up and don’t have that ambition, can go back to their original classes.”
At first, no one moved.
Then, one person stood up and left.
Then, it was like a domino effect, and the original class of forty or fifty people had only twelve people left in the end.
Liu Bowen not only didn’t leave, but his eyes towards the podium were filled with difficult-to-suppress excitement.
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows.
Meng Zhijian asked, “Is anyone else leaving?”
After a pause of five seconds and scanning the audience, he said, “Okay, let’s start the exam.”
The papers were handed out, and Jiang Fuyue finished in fifteen minutes.
When she handed in her paper, the other 11 people unconsciously looked up, then down again, only clenching their pens with sweaty palms.
Meng Zhijian asked, “Did you finish the test I gave you the day before yesterday?”
Jiang Fuyue handed him the stack of papers and left.
There was still another experimental class downstairs in the classroom.
Liu Bowen was the second to hand in his paper, forty minutes after Jiang Fuyue.
When he went down to the lab, Jiang Fuyue had already completed two experimental operations under Yu Wenzhou’s guidance and was in the final stages of the last one.
Liu Bowen hurriedly began, but in less than five minutes, Jiang Fuyue had already finished and left confidently with her backpack under Yu Wenzhou’s satisfied gaze.
“Liu Bowen, focus! Why are your hands shaking?”
Liu Bowen immediately concentrated his mind and stopped thinking about irrelevant things, putting his entire being into the task.
“Be down-to-earth, every step counts. There’s no need to envy those who are floating in the clouds,” hinted Yu Wenzhou.
Those who are floating in the clouds are gods, not humans. Envy can’t bring you to their level.
Liu Bowen only thought to himself, “I will work hard.”
…
Jiang Fuyue left early from class and went to the sports field to wait for Jiang Han. In passing, she completed two papers.
Suddenly, a shadow was cast over her, and she looked up to see the overly handsome face of a young man. His once rainbow-colored hair was dyed black, and he had cut it short. Sweat trickled down from his hairline along his temples, then made its way around his slightly reddened cheeks due to exercise, and finally disappeared into his clothing.
Yi Ci felt uneasy under Jiang Fuyue’s scrutinizing gaze. “What are you looking at?” he asked gruffly.
She withdrew her gaze and continued to work on the test.
“Oh, then I won’t look,” Jiang Fuyue replied calmly.
But this only made Yi Ci more unhappy, and he reached out to grab her test paper, holding it away with his long arm.
Jiang Fuyue had no intention of fighting for it and instead watched him leisurely.
But eventually Yi Ci couldn’t hold back anymore and spoke up: “What’s wrong with you doing the test under the sun?”
