Upon discovering that Xibao's fourth-grade papers could score above ninety, especially with a math score of ninety-nine, everyone was amazed and full of praise for Xibao, even though they knew that the elementary school curriculum was very simple.
"Xibao is so awesome!"
"Xibao is really amazing, scoring ninety-nine in math!"
"Xibao could go straight to fifth grade. It's simply genius for such a young child to be in the fifth grade."
Xibao proudly raised his little head, tossing the unhappiness he had felt before to the winds.
While Jin Ruochu explained problems to Xibao, Wen Ruyu whispered to Lu Jiang's father, "Starting in the fourth grade is too high; he's still so small. Aren't you worried about others giving sideways glances if he studies with the older children? I think it would be better for Xibao to be in first or second grade. Children should act like children. Being too outstanding invites gossip, especially since schools nowadays are not focused on academics."
