Chapter 38


    Chapter 38 Sure enough, more than ten minutes had passed, not only did rissa not manage to solve


    it, but she also made it worse. Even the part where Madam Hough solved was undone once more.


    “The method you use right from the beginning was already wrong. Just give it back.” Madam Hough said


    finally. Her gaze at rissa gradually grew colder.


    “Uh…I–I‘ve just finished an essay today, maybe I’m just too tired…” rissa stuttered an excuse for


    herself, blushing


    “Is that so?” Madam Hough replied perfunctorily and stopped looking at her.


    rissa was even more awkward.


    “Pfft!” In the corner, Naomi gently let out a snicker. It sounded extremely piercing in rissa’s ears.


    She was already furious about the incident the day before. When she returned home, she was even


    reprimanded heavily by her father!


    At that moment, it was time for her to settle it with that bitch, Naomi!


    “Madam Hough, I think Naomi likes this cube too. Should you let her try?” rissa turned in a different


    direction and stuffed the toy in Naomi’s hand.


    Madam Hough turned to look at Naomi. She clearly had not much hope for Naomi.


    “It‘s fine if you don‘t know how to do it.”


    Naomi raised her eyebrow and gave a confident, arrogant smile. “Actually, this is quite simple.”


    “What? Then solve it!” rissa harrumphed coldly. She was waiting for Naomi to embarrass herself.


    “Okay,” Naomi responded calmly before lowering her head, studying the toy in focus.


    She had always been interested in this toy. She was not anxious to make a move. She merely


    observed the structure of the toy.


    “Naomi, why are you not solving it? Are


    you lost? Just admit that you don‘t know how to solve it. Why are you


    boasting in front of Madam Hough?” rissa deliberately mocked with a raised pitch.


    ‘If I can‘t gain Madam Hough‘s favor, don‘t you dare think about it either!‘ She thought.


    However, upon her words, Naomi started moving!


    Her hands moved at such a brilliant and fast pace that the human eye could not catch up.


    Madam Hough looked at Naomi meaningfully. Naomi‘s speed and solution to the cube were of a


    professional contestant in the World Rubik‘s Cube Competition!


    “Naomi, it‘s pointless being fast! You have to solve it, that‘s most important!” rissa pretended to


    kindly remind Naomi, but she deliberately raised her tone while sneaking peeks at Madam Hough’s


    reaction.

    However, it backfired on her quickly. The next second, Naomi stopped what she was doing and the cube


    resumed its original shape and color.


    “I see, it’s a silver dragon. How interesting.” Naomi smiled and ced it on the coffee table.


    She looked up and saw that rissa waspletely baffled. Her face was fluctuating between turning


    blue and blushing.


    “Even ourpany’s most talented programmer took almost twenty minutes to solve it. You did in less


    than ten.” Madam Hough swept a nce at her watch. Her eyes had a sense of admiration for smart


    people in them.


    “Not bad.”


    “Thank you, I have to say, this is the most challenging puzzle I’ve ever encountered.” Naomi graciously


    epted Madam Hough’s praise and replied to her with a calm smile.


    Because of a small toy, her rtionship with Madam Hough did not seem to be as frosty as it was in the


    beginning. “With your intelligence, I‘m sure you can get into a great university.” Madam Hough changed he


    “But there’s something I want you to exin to me. Yesterday, I received a…”


    At that moment, the door to the ward opened with a squeak.


    Jack walked in, interrupting Madam Hough‘s question.
