Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Tell a joke, her test paper was switched

"Here’s a joke for you, Shi Yaoguang’s exam paper was switched during the placement test!"

"HAHAHAHAHA."

"Only the brain-dead from the Special Talents Class would believe such rubbish. Doesn’t everyone know she’s just a country bumpkin? She’s fully aware of how terrible her grades were last semester, isn’t she?"

While talking, these people ran straight to the Rocket Class and told Shi Yiqing about this news.

"Hey, Shi Yiqing!"

Shi Yiqing heard her name being called and looked up.

"What’s up?"

She asked.

The person who came stood by the window, wearing a look of someone enjoying a good show. "You’re probably not aware yet, but Shi Yaoguang is causing trouble for you again."

"Ah?" Shi Yiqing showed a bewildered expression, "My sister... No, what did Shi Yaoguang do this time?"

She sighed helplessly while talking.

It’s as if she truly was an innocent little white lotus.

Provoked repeatedly, yet she tolerated it again and again.

Seeing her reaction, the person who came to report unconsciously sided with her.

When mentioning Shi Yaoguang, they even took on an accusatory tone.

"Shi Yaoguang’s spreading rumors in the Special Talents Class, claiming her placement test scores got switched!"

Shi Yiqing went pale upon hearing this.

Everyone looked on without much thought, assuming she couldn’t accept that Shi Yaoguang would treat her this way.

Shi Yiqing closed her eyes briefly to calm herself, then asked casually, "What... did Shi Yaoguang say exactly?"

"What else could she say? She’s boasting, that’s all!"

"She claims she scored 740 in the placement test! HAHAHA, who doesn’t know that the top scorer of the placement exam is you?"

"The only person who got 740 is Qingqing, and here she is claiming she scored 740, HAHAHA, that’s just hilariously absurd!"

"So what if she can play the piano and paint? Being last is being last, and now she claims she ranked first. That’s just shameless."

Upon hearing such mockery, someone quietly interjected a reminder.

"Before she proved she could play the piano and paint, you mocked her in the same way."

Everyone: "..."

That seems to be true indeed.

However...

"Exam scores and playing the piano or painting are not the same! Just because she can play the piano and paint only proves she has talent. If she has poor grades, her grades are just poor. No matter how hard she tries, there’s no way she could suddenly improve that much."

"I think she’s just trying to seek attention by falsely claiming she scored first."

Others shared different opinions, all the while glancing at Shi Yiqing as they spoke.

"After Tang Jiu’s live broadcast crash, someone dug up an account that had dealings with a marketing account, right? A hacker analyzed it, suggesting this account could be from our school..."

The person cast a meaningful glance at Shi Yiqing, "Maybe Shi Yaoguang has her reasons for saying such things."

"Even if she wanted revenge, she shouldn’t use this method, right? Harming the enemy a thousand, herself ten thousand!"

"That’s right, if her grades were truly that good, she would have stepped forward by now, not kept silent about it."

"If my scores had been switched, I would’ve told the teacher immediately, not kept it hidden!"

"I bet Shi Yaoguang is just getting a big head, all because she can play the piano and paint a lousy picture."

"I think her paintings are just mediocre at best. Naming it ’Phoenix Soaring’, she really dares to flatter herself..."

Just then, the bell rang for class.

The people by the window, basking in their mockery, had to return to their own classes.

However, seated at her desk, Shi Yiqing found herself unable to calm her emotions.

Her fingertips, holding the pen, were already turning white.

She said it...

She really said it...

How dare she?!

Shi Yaoguang knew her grades had been switched, yet she had been silent the whole time, which gave Shi Yiqing a false impression.

Shi Yaoguang’s grades were not actually earned by her own abilities.

Because the answers came from an illegitimate source, she dared not speak up, fearing she would be asked to retake the exam or something of that kind.

But now, she spoke!

She actually dared to bring this matter to light—wasn’t she afraid of people finding out that her exam grades had been stolen?

Or was it that she simply wanted to drag me down with her, so any other concerns became irrelevant?

When Shi Yiqing thought of this possibility, she felt a sudden chill in her heart.

No, this won’t do.

At all costs, she must prove herself.

In this monthly exam, she absolutely, absolutely cannot perform poorly.

Otherwise, she would never be able to prove herself again.

As Shi Yiqing thought about it, a thought began to take shape in her mind.

If Shi Yaoguang could get a hold of the answers, then there was no reason she couldn’t do the same.

As the study representative, she was very familiar with where the teachers stored the exam papers.

Although she no longer held a class official position after transferring to the Rocket Class, but...

The teachers’ exam papers were all stored together, and she had every opportunity to get her hands on the exams before the test and work through them in advance. That way, she was sure to come first.

Having thought this, the anxiety Shi Yiqing had been carrying settled down.

Later, when someone asked her about what Shi Yaoguang had said, she responded in a resigned tone, "Shi Yaoguang must still be upset with me, but it’s okay, I won’t hold it against her."

Listening to her say that, everyone felt it was impossible for Shi Yiqing to have switched the grades.

It was most likely Shi Yaoguang trying to get back at her by making such statements.

...

Shi Yaoguang just watched her put on an act, whitewashing herself.

Not even hinting at making a clarification about herself.

When others said she deliberately targeted Shi Yiqing, she neither admitted nor denied it.

Online, the topic #VainHighSchoolGirl# about her was also gradually cooling down in popularity.

After "the live broadcast debacle" whitewashed her image, the number of people online who believed she was truly a genius girl actually increased. It seemed like a blessing in disguise.

The day before the monthly exam began.

"Phoenix’s Flight" hit the hot search again.

This time, a certain national scholar personally stepped forward, attesting to the value of Phoenix’s Flight.

He even publicly praised her, but Shi Yaoguang paid no attention.

Because...

She had discovered something amusing.

Shi Yiqing remained composed in the face of questioning.

At that time, Shi Yaoguang felt there was a problem.

After all, Shi Yiqing’s grades weren’t too terrible, but they were certainly not exceptional.

Her confidence indicated that she surely had some sort of ace up her sleeve.

And then...

Shi Yaoguang noticed someone sneaking into the room where the exam papers were archived...

As for what she intended to do there, the answer was obvious.

Shi Yaoguang observed all this but had no intention of intervening.

The drama always has to start somewhere, and nipping everything in the bud would be far too disappointing, wouldn’t it?

Shi Yaoguang thought cheerfully to herself that after the exam, she would definitely report the leak of the exam questions, and then...

As she was thinking, she heard a voice near her ear saying, "What’s on your mind, looking so happy?"

Shi Yaoguang turned around to see, dressed in a uniform, Jiu Yanchuan standing there, though she didn’t know how long he had been there.

"Captain Jiu, what are you doing here?"
