However, what followed was baffling; Gu Nianyang's name still wasn't on the pre-selection list, and now everyone was unsettled!
"This is really strange. Now the top 350 list is out, and Gu Nianyang isn't on it? That makes no sense!"
"Could it be that Gu Nianyang made it to the top 50? That's impossible, right? She used to be the last place; how could she suddenly make such a dramatic improvement!"
Zhao Yi, who was panicking before, suddenly had a flash of insight and said smugly, "Oh, I know, it's definitely because Gu Nianyang did so poorly that the school didn't even want to rank her, that's why she's not on the list!"
Yang Haiyan: "Right, right, that's definitely it. I remember on the exam day, Gu Nianyang almost showed up late, and she even handed in her paper early. She must have found many questions too tough, so she gave up!"
Gu Youlan loosened up at these words, having been worried that Nianyang had really pulled off a miracle. It turned out this was the real story!
