She wanted to make the other person happy even if for a short period of time, but then he had upset her, so she changed her mind.
Besides, Ji Jiayi had clearly had his brief moment of happiness.
Tan Mo said, “I meant the difficulty of the exam was just okay.”
Ji Jiayi was taken aback.
Ji Jiayi let out a cold chuckle. “How many points do you think you’ll score? The difficulty of the test was just okay? What a show-off.”
Even he found the test to be quite challenging.
Tan Mo said, “If I didn’t miss anything, then all of it should be correct. It wasn’t too difficult.”
Ji Jiayi was baffled.
“I’m surprised that you’re such a brag.” Ji Jiayi laughed and exclaimed aloud, “Are you saying you got all of the answers correct on the paper you just sat for?”
The people around stopped and looked over.
It wasn’t rare to see someone getting a perfect score.
Generally, people tended not to boast about that before the results were even out.
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they hadn’t gotten a perfect score when the results finally come out?
Although the shortlist was only an announcement of the ranking, there were still ways for the shortlisted students, especially the top-ranked students, to know their specific results.
Many people around recognized Tan Mo.
“I heard that Tan Mo came to sit for the test, but I thought they must have mistaken her for someone else. I’m surprised that she really did come,” someone whispered.
“Tan Mo is still as confident as always.”
“In the past, she got the results she said she would. Maybe this time, she might get a perfect score too. Who knows, right?”

Everyone was speechless.
‘That’s impossible, right?’
‘Stop! Just the thought of it was insane!’
If Tan Mo really did get everything correct, there’s no way she could be human.
Tan Mo raised her eyebrows, “Frankly speaking, what does it have to do with you how I did in my paper?”
Ji Jiayi was quiet.
“Even if I got a zero in the exam, how does that benefit you?” Tan Mo coldly asked. “Is Hua University going to reward you, or does your placing in this competition give you extra credit?”
“I’m just curious about how a student like you who isn’t majoring in mathematics can be so confident to take this test. Can’t I simply be curious about how you did?” Ji Jiayi retorted with a sullen look on his face.
“Sure, then I guess I can be curious about you too.” Tan Mo smirked. “How did you do in your test?”
Ji Jiayi suddenly didn’t know what to say.
He also wanted to answer confidently that he could get a perfect score on the test.
But he just couldn’t bring himself to say the words.
There was one question he was uncertain about, and there was another that he did not manage to solve.
And there were only six questions.
If he answered her honestly, he would have already lost to Tan Mo verbally.
If he went and blurted out that he could get a perfect score, wouldn’t he end up being the embarrassed one when the results came out later?
Ji Jiayi hesitated for a long while, then merely muttered, “It wasn’t too bad.”
Tan Mo blinked and implored again, “Do you think you got everything correct?”
Ji Jiayi was lost for words.
Chi Xuanzi choked back her laughter.

Since Tan Mo said that she could get a perfect score, Chi Xuanzi believed her.
Standing next to Tan Mo, she prompted, “Well, do you?”
Ji Jiayi held his tongue for some time and finally said through gritted teeth, “No.”
Tan Mo nodded and smiled brilliantly, “Then, I’m pretty sure I did better than you.”
Ji Jiayi was speechless.
“How about we make a bet and see who wins? Shall we?” Tan Mo asked with a smile.
“Bet? How?” Ji Jiayi asked with his eyebrows furrowed.
Tan Mo smiled and said, “I won’t bully you. Let’s just see who comes out on top according to the ranking announced by the shortlist. What do you say?”
Ji Jiayi thought about it for a while and said, “How many categories did you sign up for?”
“Five.” Tan Mo had an expression that said, “Obviously, I registered for all five. Do you even need to ask?”
Ji Jiayi was stupefied.
He had wanted to show off to Tan Mo that he had also signed up for all five.
This math competition was not some random test that people would simply sign up for as many they liked just for fun.
There were only six questions in each test, and they were all extremely difficult.
Tan Mo smiled and said nonchalantly, “If you signed up for less, we can just compete with the ones you’re taking.”
Ji Jiayi was infuriated and hissed through gritted teeth, “I signed up for all five too!”
Who was she looking down on?
“Ah, so you’re going for the all-rounder award, eh?” Tan Mo answered with a grin. “Sure, then let’s total up the five categories according to the ranking of our individual scores. Whoever ranks higher than the other wins.”
“Does that sound good to you?” Tan Mo looked at him with a sweet smile.
No matter how Ji Jiayi looked at her sweet face, the way Tan Mo smiled only seemed to make him panic even more.

Seeing that Ji Jiayi had stopped talking, Tan Mo asked, “Do you want to bet or not?”
“No need.” Suddenly, a woman’s voice sounded.
Everyone turned to look and saw that a girl with a ponytail was striding over hurriedly.
Chi Xuanzi inched closer to Tan Mo’s ear and whispered softly, “That’s Liu Yidi, who’s ranked first in the Department of Mathematics at Hua University.”
Liu Yidi walked over and stood next to Ji Jiayi. She said in a hushed voice, “You don’t have to bet with her. It’s our business how many marks we score on the tests. There’s no need to bet on your results.”
Although Ji Jiayi didn’t know what Tan Mo wanted to bet with, he felt a little inferior when he heard Tan Mo’s words.
Tan Mo was bold enough to initiate a bet. Was she really that confident that she could beat him?
He had a bad feeling in his gut that Tan Mo was up to no good.
Taking advantage of the chance given by Liu Yidi, Ji Jiayi backed off. “I know.”
He remarked disdainfully to Tan Mo, “Do you feel proud betting on your grades?”
“I do, actually.” Tan Mo nodded. “I have absolute confidence in myself, which is why I’m willing to bet on it.”
Tan Mo imitated Ji Jiayi’s disdainful attitude and brought it to the next level. “You’re only ranked fifth in Hua University, and already you look down on other people. Knowing I’m so talented, why can’t I feel proud about it?”
Ji Jiayi was wholly defeated.
Du Zeyang sneered, “If you’re too afraid to bet, you can just say so. Do you think people can’t see right through your act?”
Ji Jiayi could not stand being provoked. “Why would I be afraid? I just thought that since I’m a student from the Department of Mathematics, and if I won while competing with someone from another major, people would think of me as a bully. No matter how this plays out, I’ll be on the losing end.”
“Yeah, and if you lose, people will say that you’re the math major who lost to someone outside of the field,” Tan Mo pointed out matter-of-factly.
Ji Jiayi was stumped.
“So, do you wanna bet or not? Just make up your mind,” Chi Xuanzi urged. “Just say no if you’re scared. It’s simple as that. If you keep throwing questions back and forth, it just shows you’re too much of a coward to bet, even though you clearly want to.”
Ji Jiayi’s face was puffing with anger. “You have to at least tell me what the bet is about, right?
Du Zeyang and Chi Xuanzi were both standing on each side of Tan Mo. They turned to look at Tan Mo at the same time.
“Well, it’s nothing serious. I’m not one to make unreasonable demands.” Tan Mo saw that more and more people were starting to gather around them, so she said, “We’ll go by the shortlist. If it shows that you have more subjects ranked beneath me, then I win. Then, you will announce in front of everyone that the Department of Mathematics at Hua University is nowhere as good as the Department of Mathematics at Beijing University.. Likewise, if I have more subjects ranked beneath you, I will announce before everyone that the Department of Mathematics at Beijing University is nowhere as good as the Department of Mathematics at Hua University.”
