Writing on the hand, and only one time at that, it wouldn’t be easy to understand those words.

Plus writing on hands was completely different from writing on paper. No matter how slowly you write, it’s not that easy for the other person to read it.

Even if a close friend or relative plays a hand-writing game like this, the other person might not be able to discern what the other person had written.

But it happened that every time Rong Xuan wrote something, Gu Ye could understand it at a glance.

Such an unparalleled tacit understanding, the two of them didn’t know other people’s situation and didn’t think much about it, but if they tell it to others, many people would be surprised.

Because there’s some tacit understanding that might take a lifetime to cultivate, but it might not necessarily be successful in the end either.

Gu Ye thought back to the words Rong Xuan wrote on his hand just now.

‘You have dreams and so do I. Let’s each work hard.’

Gu Ye’s lips curled up into a smile. “All right. Then I’m going, Little Bride?”

Rong Xuan nodded and waved to him as a farewell.

Gu Ye reached out and unexpectedly pulled Rong Xuan into his arms.

He said in her ear, “See you in three days.”

The embrace didn’t last long, Gu Ye then let go.

“I’m off.”

Rong Xuan took a few steps back and watched Gu Ye get into the car.

Then she turned around and walked towards the program team.

On the other side, seeing the embrace between the two when they’re parting, Li You couldn’t help but scream in a low voice, “Are they filming an idol drama? Why so sue^[1]Mary Sue?!”

Seeing it, Ning Chun said in a flat tone, “Idol dramas don’t play out like this.”

Li You exclaimed, “Why do you say that?”

“The male and female leads in idol dramas kiss each other when they’re parting. A hug alone isn’t enough.”

Li You tutted. “You’re too demanding. Why add a kiss? Anyway, I think they’re quite sweet.” What a great pure school romance, why the need to add a cheesy goodbye kiss?

Ning Chun glanced at Rong Xuan’s indifferent face and shrugged noncommittally.

Was it sweet? Where’s the sweetness?

One was obviously indifferent from beginning to end.

Therefore, Ning Chun’s first impression of Rong Xuan was that of a ‘super good-looking nerd’. It was impossible for ordinary girls to be indifferent to such a good-looking boy. Only nerds addicted to studying could be so.

Once the eight people participating in the reality show had gathered, the recording officially began.

The director mentioned the dos and don’ts of the show, then asked the contestants to hand over all their mobile phones and wallets that they were carrying. Offstage, Li You had been secretly observing Rong Xuan.

She had a feeling that Rong Xuan was very powerful. She couldn’t say why, probably a girl’s intuition.

In the past, before Rong Xuan appeared, she thought Ning Chun was very powerful. She’s the kind of person who, at first glance, gave a feeling that she’s good at academics. Later, it turned out that Li You wasn’t wrong, and Ning Chun was indeed great.

Now that Rong Xuan had appeared, she felt that Rong Xuan would be a formidable enemy. And there was also a kind of indifference in her that Ning Chun didn’t have. It was as if no matter what she faces, she could handle it appropriately.

But slowly, Li You discovered that Rong Xuan had not spoken a word from beginning to end.

Was it arrogance? Or was it for some other reason?

It suddenly occurred to her that Rong Xuan also didn’t speak to that good-looking boy just now, but wrote on his hand instead.

At first, Li You thought they were flirting, but now that she thought about it more, it didn’t seem to be the case.

Flirting was something one does occasionally, but that’s obviously not the situation with her.

Li You had a guess in her mind.

So…… she couldn’t speak?

It happened that at this time the director said from the front, “Among the eight guests, there’s a guest with a special situation. Her name is Rong Xuan and she can’t speak. However, the impact will not be big. Everyone please be more cooperative later.”

Hearing this, many people had surprised looks on their faces.

Rong Xuan’s expression didn’t change since the start. Her eyes were always calm and peaceful, without any anger or inferiority in them.

Li You couldn’t help but admire Rong Xuan even more. She didn’t feel inferior because she couldn’t speak, giving a cool and powerful girl vibe.

Although the eight contestants were all top students, they have different personalities.

Li You admired Rong Xuan, but some people thought that Rong Xuan was just there for fun. A mute who couldn’t speak, who even had problems communicating, came to participate in a reality show?

In order to become famous, she really didn’t even want face.

Many people expressed disdain and did not take Rong Xuan seriously.

Rong Xuan was unaware of what other people was thinking in their minds, but even if she knew, she wouldn’t be affected.

After introducing them to each other, the director said, “Everyone should have read the contract. During the three-day recording, some of the segments need to be broadcast live.”

Several contestants nodded their heads in affirmative.

The start of the live broadcast also means that the first segment of the reality show has begun.

The first part was a high school physics quiz, which was used to test the general level of each contestant.

In order to accommodate Rong Xuan, the crew specially placed a whiteboard next to her. She could write down her answer and the reasoning behind it on the board.

The program team prepared a total of 20 questions. 5 points would be awarded for a correct answer and 3 points would be deducted for an incorrect one.

The first ranking would be presented according to how many points the contestants scored.

Those with a higher rank have priority in choosing their own room.

The program team prepared a total of five rooms. There were two single rooms, two double rooms, and one triple room. That meant that among the eight people there, some would need to live in a double or a triple room.

There were enough beds and there’s even an extra one for the contestants to choose from.

This also meant that the first contestant to make a choice could stay in a single, double or triple room as they wish.

After clarifying the rules, the first segment officially started.

Question 1: Which of the following items cannot be vortexed on a hair dryer?

A. Foam bowl, B. Balloon garland, or C. Bubble cloud?

After hearing the question, Rong Xuan immediately pressed the buzzer close at hand.

The host immediately said, “Okay, the one who got our first question is Rong Xuan. Please give your answer.”

Rong Xuan picked up the board on the side and wrote down her answer, ‘C.’

The host said, “Okay, Student Rong Xuan’s answer is C. Do you want to change it?”

Rong Xuan shook her head, indicating that she wouldn’t.

The host waved his hand. “Congratulations to Student Rong Xuan for getting off to a good start and scoring five points for the first question. Can you explain to us why you chose C?”

Rong Xuan’s face was stoic, her hand speedily writing down her reason.

‘It’s a matter of balance. The things themselves have gravitational force which is directed downwards. The force of the blower creates a lifting force, allowing things to be balanced on air. This is Bernoulli’s principle, which means that an increase in speed occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure.’

At this time, more and more viewers began to flock to the official channel of ZZ live streaming platform.

【Holy sh*t, is this the style of top students? She’s confident and calm, very awesome.】

【It’s only the first question so don’t draw conclusions too early.】

【This little girl can obviously rely on her face to make a living and she’s still a top student. How can we mortals live?】

【So what? She can’t speak, just a mute! What use can she be in the future?】

【What’s wrong with not being able to speak? Is she eating your family’s food? Such a talent, even if she can’t speak, is still much better than a keyboard warrior like you!】

【As a top student, I just want to call her awesome.】

On the first question, there was a huge quarrel on the Internet because of Rong Xuan’s inability to speak.

Some people think that Rong Xuan couldn’t speak and was half useless. These people were antis.

More people think that Rong Xuan was a talent even if she couldn’t speak.

As the discussion of the topic escalated, more and more viewers flocked to the live stream.

The presence of Rong Xuan created a lot of conversation topics for the program team. The director was so happy that he couldn’t even close his mouth.

Rong Xuan didn’t know that she was already vaguely trending online.

After getting the first five points, the second question came immediately.

It’s still a physics question.

Rong Xuan was slower this time, so the second question was grabbed by Ning Chun, who answered it correctly, earning the other party five points.

Rong Xuan managed to grab the third question.

Question 3: What is the minimum number of cups that can be used to lift the two guests on wicker chairs?

A. One, B. Two, or C. Three?

Rong Xuan pursed her lips and quickly wrote her answer without even thinking, ‘A. This question is in fact a test of the power of atmospheric pressure.’

Rong Xuan scored another five points.

Doing questions was a lot of fun, especially when one gets them right. People would receive extraordinary satisfaction.

Rong Xuan gradually became immersed in the rhythm and fun of answering questions.

Answering physics questions tested many aspects of a person, the main aspect being the contestant’s mental flexibility.

In short, it’s a test of IQ.

After grabbing the questions, there’s not much time left for the contestants to think.

If the answer wasn’t given after twenty seconds, it would be treated as a wrong answer. It couldn’t be based on a guess, because they also have to give the reason for choosing their answer.

Even if the answer was correct, three points would still be deducted as long as the reason was wrong.

The rules were very strict and it was difficult to get high scores.

More than half of the twenty questions were answered. Rong Xuan got four questions correctly, Ning Chun got two questions correctly, and the remaining four questions were taken by four other people.

However, not every one of the other four got it right, two of them were wrong.

After all, not everyone could keep their cool in such moments.

Even though some questions weren’t difficult and they could come up with the right answer with a little bit of thinking, firstly, the time for reviewing the questions was too short and errors might occur during the process, secondly, the time for answering the questions was also too short and they might make mistakes right off the bat. In short, it’s not easy to answer correctly.

Rong Xuan, who answered four questions correctly, was now far ahead and holds the top spot.

【This little mute is no doubt a real top student.】

【It’s rare for a girl to be so good at physics. Generally speaking, boys are better at math and science.】

【Hahaha, there are three girls and five boys on the field. The boys are being pressed and beaten by two girls. Exciting, exciting.】

【It would be even better if the little mute can talk. Her voice should be as sweet as her looks, right?】

【Aaahhhh, her way of answering questions is so cool. What to do? I’m feeling fired up.】

【I also feel it, as if my blood is boiling.】

【I like watching top students answer questions, so fast and clean.】

Because of Rong Xuan’s outstanding performance, the number of people on the live stream had already exceeded 300,000, and it was still growing at a rate of hundreds of people per minute.

Halfway through the Q&A section, there was a five-minute intermission.

Five minutes later, the host took the microphone and said with a smile, “The first half is just for warming up. The difficulty of the questions is going to be raised a bit. Contestants, are you ready?”

Robbin: The author said the questions and answers mentioned above are taken from the Internet. Now I don’t have an idea if they’re right or not, or if I translated them right. I don’t understand them, eh, I’ve never been a great student. Sorry.
