"Copying Qiao Jiaying's method is not allowed," the math teacher added.
Some students watched with glee, while others sympathized with Jian Xi.
High school math is very difficult; without having studied in advance, even Qiao Jiaying couldn't solve it.
To come up with another method to solve it? That's a fool's dream!
Qiao Jiaying, holding a stick of chalk, carefully worked out the problem on the blackboard.
With Jian Xi present, she felt the need to perform even better. If she couldn't surpass her in other ways, she at least had to outdo her in academics!
Jian Xi also picked up a stick of chalk, but instead of starting, she watched Qiao Jiaying.
Everyone thought she was going to copy, and the math teacher reiterated, "No copying allowed."
"Hmm," Jian Xi hummed, glanced over for two seconds, then looked away and started solving the problem rapidly with her chalk.
By the time Qiao Jiaying had finished, Jian Xi had as well.
