Yan Lu sighed helplessly; her grandmother's outlook on life was truly confined to the realm of relationships between men and women.
"If nothing else, maybe that deskmate of yours with the surname Liu isn't a bad choice…"
"Aunt, one of my friends has a birthday coming up soon. I've been racking my brain picking a gift. Could you give me some advice, please?"
Without waiting for a response, she grabbed Yan Xue and hurried upstairs, not wanting to listen to another second of her grandmother's nagging.
"Is it that classmate of yours with the surname Shen?"
Yan Lu nodded. "Yes, this past monthly exam was really challenging. I could only manage a score of 712 with my ability, but she easily scored 739. It's only now that I realize how immense the gap between us truly is."
Yan Lu felt undeniably crushed; she'd been downcast ever since the scores were released.
Her title of top scorer in Chunzhou now seemed like nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well.
