"I support you, but your math..." Wei Qian conveyed with a series of ellipses.
The reserved spots depend on the scores in each subject, meaning there is a benchmark for every subject. Even if Rao Jie excels in the other three subjects to balance her overall score, the interviewers would still shake their heads at her math alone.
Rao Jie chose to pursue graduate studies precisely because, during the entrance exams, their school considers the total score. Even if she struggles with math no matter how hard she tries, she can still aim for higher scores in the other three subjects and get in based on her total score.
"Sounds a bit like wishful thinking," Rao Jie thought to herself. She knew that their school's math exam was out of one hundred, and her highest score had only been seventy, unlike Jiang Chuchu, who consistently scored around ninety.
Wei Qian was too lazy to type and sent a voice message instead. "Unless you score full marks in math this time, it's unlikely you'll succeed. But where will you find such a miracle worker to transform you and awaken your math talent? Math isn't something you can master just through effort."
Rao Jie felt a bit disheartened but couldn't help but struggle a little. "I have money now to enroll in an intensive class; maybe..."
"...I'll give it a try!"
If it weren't for the earlier ellipses, Rao Jie would have felt more confident.
"Hahaha!" Suddenly, Wu Xin sent several laughing emojis.
Rao Jie: "?"
Wei Qian: "Drunk!"
Wu Xin seemed excited and sent a voice message with a raised voice. "Silly Jie Jie, have you forgotten who you're living with? A math genius! With my brother around, how can your math be bad? My brother is the miracle worker! As long as he’s willing to teach you, even a math idiot can become a math master! Have you forgotten how my math went from third-to-last in class to third overall? It was during that summer in sophomore year when my brother came back and stayed for a month! Didn't everyone praise me for suddenly getting it?"
Wei Qian: "Good idea."
Rao Jie: "I... I... want to live a few more years!"
Wu Xin: "Too late; I've already told my brother."
Rao Jie: "..."
Rao Jie couldn't bring herself to approach Wu Rong, so she stubbornly went out searching for various tutoring classes. However, when they learned about Rao Jie's best scores and her target score, some shook their heads and said it was too late for her to lower her goals, while others suggested she spend thousands on one-on-one specialized training.
After searching everywhere, Rao Jie could only return home dejectedly.
"I heard that you want me to help you with math?"
During dinner, Wu Rong spoke up directly. Rao Jie felt a jolt in her heart, recalling the setbacks of the day, and nervously nodded, "Is that okay?"
Wu Rong stared at Rao Jie for a moment.
Rao Jie quickly added, "I could actually find a tutoring class outside, but if I want to achieve a good score in math for this final exam, those classes probably won't help me. My math... is really poor."
Wu Rong raised an eyebrow. "Looking at how clueless you are, I doubt your math skills are any better."
Rao Jie forced a smile and looked at Wu Rong hopefully. "If it's not too much trouble, could you help me with this?"
"Why should I help you?" Wu Rong countered.
Rao Jie was momentarily speechless; Wu Rong was not the type to be gentle or considerate. There was no reason for her to help.
"Then... what conditions would you need to agree to help me? I... I don't have any money!"
