Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Without a doubt, it was always the most stressful during exams and competitions. Time always flew by the fastest then.

Lilly and the other student went to participate in the mathematics competition. And in a blink of an eye, it was Wednesday already, and they were already back in school.

The other student was from a different class. Lilly was in the first class of the third grade, and he was in the seventh. He had full admiration for Lilly after the competition.

“Lilly is such an amazing and smart person! I’ve never seen someone with such a quick brain as her!”

“You know the rapid fire question rounds right? When we were all still trying to read the question, she’s already gotten the answer right!”

“Haha, you weren’t there to see it, but the opponents from other schools were defeated to tears…”

The student was telling the story of the whole competition with much enthusiasm. He was so eloquent to the point as though they went to participate in a wrestling match instead.

By midday, Lilly’s great reputation had already spread all over the school. All seven classes in her grade had already knew about how amazing she did in the competition.

Cheryl had overheard about it, and seeing how everyone else was amazed by Lilly, she couldn’t help but think that the other student was Lilly’s lapdog.

Eliana thought the same way too. “I think the true brainiac was the other guy. The Crawford family is so wealthy, he must want to suck up to them too.” She argued.

Cheryl had her eyes buried in the book she was reading, and said softly: “That may not be the case… Maybe Lilly is really that good.”

“But you didn’t think that way this morning though,” Eliana looked at Cheryl with confusion.
