Mu Qiqi was having math class. Her teacher was an impressive young foreign teacher who was instructing them in additional mathematics, and was assessing the extent of the students' understanding of the subject.
Mu Qiqi, seated in the center of the classroom was twirling a pen between her fingers. She looked relaxed and confident.
"The next question is on differentiation and integration. It's very different from the syllabus, so perhaps none of you might get it?" The teacher boasted as he wrote the question. "It would be grand if any of you saw it..."
The students traded glances at one anothernot many of them had seen it before.
After all, they were studying university syllabus early-on instead.
"No volunteers?" The teacher asked. "Now's the time to show off your ability!"
"Can you solve it? I saw it before, but I don't know how to do it."
"It's so difficult. Maybe no one knows?"
None of them noticed a figure standing outside the window.
Her gaze was burning, but was ultimately fixed upon a single person: Mu Qiqi, her very own sister!
How could this be?
What was actually going on?
Didn't their vermin uncle sell her off? Why was she sitting in that classroom and enjoying a better education than her own?
That was also the moment when Mu Qiqi suddenly raised her hand.
"May I try?" She asked.
Everyone turned towards Mu Qiqi in surprise. Could she really handle such a difficult question too?
"Come forward," the teacher said.
Rising confidently from her desk, Mu Qiqi walked to the blackboard and took the chalk from the teacher, and wrote down a series of formula.
"You really know how to scare us, teacher," she said. "The main idea in the differentiation is actually just algebra, so we could still solve it by studying it carefully..."
Amused, the teacher turned to the rest of the class. "Where's your applause? As expected of our number oneI finally love teaching here."
Mu Tangxue studied the question on the blackboard. She could not solve it.
And yet, Mu Qiqi could.
She had really changedwhere was the old Mu Qiqi who would be scolded in every maths class?
That sister of hers knew nothing, and was number one from the bottom back in Van Gogh!
She couldn't believe it. It must be an illusion.
Perhaps sensing someone outside the window, Mu Qiqi turned towards the figure as she stepped off the lecture platform.
They made eye contact, with sparks flying in a split second...
There was surprise in Mu Qiqi's gaze when she saw Mu Tangxue, but it only took her an instant to regain composure. With a confident smile, she returned to her seat.
On the other hand, Mu Tangxue was dumbstruck.
Was that still Mu Qiqi? With that confident and almost flaunting look on the face?
She was supposed to be under her shadow wherever they went!
But that clearly wasn't the case now!
No!
Mu Tangxue couldn't and wouldn't believe it!
"Qiqi, well done! You could actually solve that question!"
Mu Qiqi heard her classmate's voice even as her heart thumped furiously. She did not expect that Mu Tangxue would find her in Eaton under such circumstances.
Be that as it may, what just happened must have been an incredible shock for Mu Tangxue.
