Li Yang also understood the implicit conditions in Bai Qing's words.
No matter the outcome, it allowed his imagination to roam.
He continued his practice questions; the so-called 253 marks in the comprehensive exam was a bluff to Jiang Banxia. He wasn't anywhere near that level of proficiency yet.
Even 150 marks would be a challenge.
His biggest improvement lately had been in math, where luck might get him a 100.
He consistently projected an image of diligence and genius.
For instance, his roommates were well aware; every time they returned, he was there tackling problems.
Jiang Banxia and Xue Ning also knew he studied relentlessly for hours without breaks, solving thousands of problems daily.
With only a few days left until the college entrance exam, he told Jiang Banxia he could now score 250 in the comprehensive exam. It was partly to motivate Jiang Banxia and partly to set the stage for the exam.
