“Alright, all of you better hurry up. You’re about to take the college entrance exam, so stop being so distracted. Hurry up and take out the test paper that was handed out yesterday. Lauren, share it with the students next to you for now.”

“Okay.” Lauren nodded.

A chubby girl with a ponytail sat next to her. She had a kind look on her face. She shifted her test paper over a little and shared it with Lauren.

Since she was sitting in the first row of the class, Lauren did not dare to speak unnecessarily. She smiled at the chubby girl to express her gratitude and went back to class.

“The answers to the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blanks questions have been given. Please check them yourself.”

Lauren noticed that the chubby girl was looking up at the blackboard while looking at the answers. There were a total of 16 multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, and she had got at least half of her questions wrong.

She saw that this girl’s paper was actually very neat. She also used the red pen to correct her own mistakes and copied the correct steps onto the paper.

Lauren didn’t understand. This chubby girl was studying so hard, how could she still make so many mistakes?

Mr. Zander continued to explain the questions on the stage. He was explaining a function question.

“This is the most difficult problem in the college entrance exam last year. Let’s take a look at it together.”

Lauren’s desire to win was aroused when she heard what Mr. Zander said.

The most difficult problem? She was interested!

So, she and the other students looked at the problem seriously.

“Is there any student in the class who can solve this problem? How about the math class representative?”

The math class representative was a boy who wore round-rimmed glasses and had a buzz cut. It was obvious that he was a student who studied hard. The boy shook his head.

“If the math class representative didn’t manage to solve the question, then the rest of you must be facing the same problem, right?”

Sure enough, everyone lowered their heads.

“This problem is indeed very difficult. It is certainly beyond the usual standard of the exam. Last year, this problem had a perfect score of 14 points, but the average score was only 1.2 points. I won’t make things difficult for everyone. I’ll just go straight to the point.”

Suddenly, a small hand was raised. It was Lauren’s hand.

“Lauren, what’s wrong?”

“Mr. Zander, I have some ideas about this problem!”

“Oh? Then tell me how to solve it.”

Then, Lauren explained her own ideas.

Some of the students who were quick-witted and had good mathematical foundations quickly caught up with Lauren.

The math class representative said, “That’s right! We can solve the problem in this way and simplify it. Why didn’t I think of that?”

Mr. Zander listened to Lauren and nodded his head in satisfaction. “Very good. This is one of the most convenient ways to solve the problem. It’s even better than the one I’m going to talk about. Lauren, why don’t you write down the entire process on the blackboard and let your seniors have a good look at it?”

Lauren hesitated.

“What’s wrong? Have you not thought of the specific steps to solve the problem?” Mr. Zander asked.

The students understood the situation. “As expected, even a genius needs time.”

However, Lauren shook her head. “But I am not tall enough.”

“Oh…so that’s the reason.”

Lauren’s reason made many people in the class laugh.

“It doesn’t matter if you are not tall enough. Just read it out and get someone else to write it for you. Who do you fancy to write it for you?”

At that moment, Bryce just wanted to disappear on the spot. Lauren would definitely get him to do the job!

As expected, he heard his own name in the next second.

“Mr. Zander, I want Bryce to write it for me.”

“Bryce? Sure. Bryce, come up and help Lauren write the process of solving the problem.”

“Teacher, can I not write?”

Mr. Zander frowned. “You can’t solve the problem, and now you don’t even want to write it?”

Bryce held back his unwillingness and went on stage.

It didn’t hurt, but it was certainly very insulting to him.

Lauren looked at the question while reciting the steps, and Bryce wrote the steps on the blackboard.

There were some parts that needed to be calculated, but Lauren did not even need to use a draft paper. She only needed to pause for a second or two before she said the answer. Her skill caused the students in the class to sigh.

Bryce quickly followed Lauren’s train of thought as he wrote down the steps to solve the question. At the same time, he wondered if Lauren had memorized the answer.

Otherwise, it was impossible for her to answer so fluently.

The answer for the function question occupied three-quarters of the blackboard.. After Bryce finished writing it, he swung his arm.
