（Thank you, book friend "xiachedan" for the generous 1176 reward! Bow! Thank you to those who voted for me! Bow! I hope everyone continues to support me! Bow!）

Zhu Yuanxiang and Xiao Yuxian were both somewhat awkward and couldn't speak, but Chen Mo said with a calm face, "Yes, we felt that those classmates weren't very friendly, so we scolded them. If they hadn't made us three a bit depressed, today's incident wouldn't have happened."

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Scolding people doesn't solve problems. If you really want to earn their respect, you should—"

Chen Mo didn't wait for him to finish and interjected, "You should surpass them and make them look up to you, right? Otherwise, why would the teacher deliberately create a rift among the classmates?"

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Professor Hu was very pleased when you ranked first in the assessment. He thought he had found a good seed. Now it seems he underestimated you. To be able to see through the essence of this matter at such a young age, you are indeed much stronger than most of your peers."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Actually, I was just guessing. I didn't expect to guess correctly. Thank you for your praise, teacher. I will definitely study hard in the future and won't let you and Professor Hu down."

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile and said, "I have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave first. You three go back to your dormitory and rest. Don't forget to go to class on time tomorrow morning."

After the middle-aged man left, Chen Mo and the other two greeted him and then walked towards the school.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Yuxian asked, "Chen Mo, did you really rank first in the assessment among all the students?"

Chen Mo hadn't mentioned this to the two of them before because he didn't want them to feel embarrassed. Since the teacher had already mentioned it, Chen Mo didn't need to hide it anymore. He smiled and said, "It seems so."

Xiao Yuxian immediately became excited and said, "My goodness! So you're that good! You actually ranked first in our Southern Genius Youth Class! I'll follow you from now on! You have to take care of your brother!"

Zhu Yuanxiang chimed in, "I, Old Zhu, will also follow you! To be honest, I originally just thought we three were fellow sufferers. Although you always encouraged me and Old Xiao, I always felt your words were hollow. Now it's different. Our little group has such a capable person like you. I bet those bastards will be stunned when they find out how well you did! Hahaha! Just thinking about their stunned faces makes me feel great!"

Chen Mo smiled humbly and said, "Since we are brothers in the same camp, we must help each other. You don't need to be so excited. I said before that current achievements don't represent the future. To truly earn respect, we need to work hard together."

Xiao Yuxian nodded vigorously and said, "Right! We need to work hard together to make our Linhai School proud! I don't believe that students from Linhai are really inferior to students from other provinces!"

With Chen Mo, the top scorer in the assessment, leading the way, Xiao Yuxian and Zhu Yuanxiang were both energized. The two of them gave passionate speeches, and although Chen Mo smiled without speaking, he was actually very happy.

Chen Mo, who had never been close to his classmates before, now felt that building good relationships with them was quite nice. He decided to change his previous aloof attitude and truly enjoy the warm camaraderie of his classmates.

As they walked and talked, after a while, Xiao Yuxian suddenly raised a question, "Chen Mo, your assessment score was so good, but why was your middle school entrance exam score the same as mine?"

Zhu Yuanxiang was slightly taken aback by this and then said with a puzzled look, "Yes, I remember that both of your scores were far from perfect. The assessment papers were so difficult, and you still managed to rank first. It's impossible that you lost so many points in the middle school entrance exam, right?"

Chen Mo smiled a bit embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I could have scored higher, but during the exam, I had to go to the bathroom and submitted my paper early. I remember it was during the Chinese exam. I didn't write a single word for the essay, and I left many blanks in the reading comprehension. That's why I lost a lot of points."

Both of them were stunned by this. After a while, Xiao Yuxian said with a mix of laughter and tears, "I have to say, you are a real oddball! Even in such a situation, you still managed to score the same as me!"

Zhu Yuanxiang shook his head and said with a mature air, "Comparing people to people can be deadly, and comparing goods to goods can be discarded!"

Chen Mo looked around and, seeing no one nearby, whispered, "Speaking of the bathroom, I feel the urge to urinate. Wait a moment, I'll go take care of it."

Seeing Chen Mo run to the small forest, Xiao Yuxian and Zhu Yuanxiang also felt the urge to urinate. They immediately followed, and the three of them laughed as they stood in the forest, urinating. In the sound of their urination, all three were filled with hope for the next day.

When Chen Mo returned to the dormitory, it was already past 11 PM. He said goodnight to Xiao Yuxian and Zhu Yuanxiang and walked to his dormitory door.

The dormitory building had six floors, and the students of the Genius Youth Class were assigned to floors based on their scores, with each group occupying one floor. The top floor was for the Central Plains group, and the Linhai group was assigned to the second floor. Although living on a higher floor gave a sense of superiority, Chen Mo thought the other students had miscalculated. There was no elevator, and living on the sixth floor would be tiring to climb every day. To achieve a symbolic sense of superiority, they did something foolish. You guys are really that stupid.

Chen Mo's dormitory was on the right side of the second-floor staircase, while Zhu Yuanxiang and Xiao Yuxian's dormitories were on the left side, about twenty meters away. After saying goodbye to the two, Chen Mo walked to his dormitory door and found it open, with a faint light inside.

Chen Mo was taken aback and thought, "My dormitory must have been burglarized!"

Thinking this, he immediately pushed the door open and rushed in. There was 10,000 yuan in cash in the dormitory, and if it was stolen, he would suffer a significant loss.

When Chen Mo entered, he was immediately stunned. The living room lamp was on, and a woman was sitting in a chair. From her back, Chen Mo knew it was Tian Tian. Tian Tian was already asleep on the table and didn't hear Chen Mo's footsteps when he rushed in.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then approached and whispered, "Sister Tian—Sister Tian—Why are you in my dormitory so late at night?"

Tian Tian was woken up by Chen Mo, rubbing her eyes and yawning, "Xiao Mo, you're finally back—Are you okay?"
