The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 159: Chapter 158: Mian Ge is the Best! Mian Ge is the Strongest!

Lu Mian’s expression remained unchanged as she smiled and greeted.

“Hello, Uncle.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She wasn’t adept at small talk, and after saying this, she stayed quiet.

Guo Shuitian didn’t mind. Every person has their own personality, and he was well aware that this girl tended to be cool, but her heart was incredibly kind.

She had helped his son with his studies multiple times, lending her senior year notes, especially in math. It seemed like his son had an epiphany overnight.

His son often mentioned this female classmate at home.

Now that he saw her, indeed, she was a pretty and generous young woman.

Guo Shuitian looked at her as if she were his daughter-in-law, with eyes full of appreciation and affection, sizing up Lu Mian.

However, thanks to his many years of experience in criminal investigation, he had an intuition that this girl was quite different, though he couldn’t pinpoint how. He just felt like she didn’t belong to this place, a peculiar intuition indeed…

“Hello, Lu Mian. Thank you for taking such good care of Guo Zihao. Uncle is cheering for you!” Guo Shuitian was quite gregarious, unlike the stiff and solemn image on TV, always smiling.

Lu Mian also smiled, saying “Thank you,” and then softly asked Fatty Hao, “Why is your dad here too?”

“My dad had something to take care of at the school, and when he heard you were here for the competition, he came to root for you!”

“Heh…” But she didn’t want to see the deputy chief at all.

Ah…

Their group was noisy and drew the attention of many candidates who had not yet entered the exam hall, even the parents couldn’t help but look towards Lu Mian.

Especially when they saw Guo Shuitian, their expressions were quite surprised.

Anyone who had watched the Wucheng news would recognize Guo Shuitian, a man of integrity and real action.

In the hearts of the common people of Wucheng, he was definitely a genuine hero.

Seeing such a person cheering for that girl made everyone think she was no ordinary girl.

Lu Xinnuan also saw it and wasn’t sure how to feel.

Lu Mian could actually know such an important figure and have such a good relationship with them. Now, with a group of people cheering her on, she felt her earlier performance lost its meaning and even affected her mood.

She coldly withdrew her hand from Fu Man’s.

“Mom, I’m going into the exam hall now.”

“Go ahead, Nuannuan! Focus on your exam!”

“How can I focus now…” Lu Xinnuan pouted, “it’s so chaotic around the exam center…”

She complained with thinly veiled hints and walked away with a gloomy face.

There weren’t many people left queuing at the entrance, and Fatty Hao reminded Lu Mian to hurry in.

The group uniformly made heart gestures at her, “Mianmian is the best! Mianmian is the strongest!”

Lu Mian touched her forehead and quickly walked away.

She didn’t even pause when she passed by Fu Man.

The contrast in her attitude was stark.

Fu Man gaped, feeling as if a piece had been carved out of her heart, leaving her hollow. She could still occasionally hear discussions from the other side.

“Guess how many points Mianmian will score this time?”

“One hundred percent!”

“Is she really that amazing?”

“Duh, you don’t understand. When others score ninety percent, that’s because their ability is at ninety percent. Our Mianmian scores one hundred percent because the paper only has one hundred points. Don’t worry, there’ll be no problems this time!”

“Plus, let me tell you a secret. She’s not only great at physics, but her math is also superb!”

Fatty Hao and Shouhao exchanged looks, a bitter laugh hinting at their own hardships.

“Awesome!”

“Impressive!”

Fu Man listened with perked ears, twisting her clothing as she slowly walked away.

Mianmian…

Was she really as good as they said?
