Chapter 563: 562. The comment section is completely overrun!

Medical University’s exam seating was arranged according to test rankings, so she found herself in the first examination room. Upon arrival, the classroom was almost full, with most students sitting upright in their seats waiting.

As soon as Tang Shu appeared, she immediately attracted the gaze of all the students.

"Hiss—"

Breaths were drawn and whispering voices came instantly. Even without listening, Tang Shu could guess what they were talking about.

The news had spread everywhere online, and anyone with a phone probably knew by now.

Cheng Ranran, seated in the very center of the exam room, must have heard something. She turned her head and glared fiercely at a few girls in the corner, and contemptuously humphed.

The classroom was suddenly filled with a sharp female voice.

"Cheng Ranran, what are you huffing about? This is an examination room, mind the disturbance!"

This remark came from Zhao Haixue, seated in the corner, who had squeezed into the first examination room as the last student with her fifty-ranked grades at the end of the previous semester.

Cheng Ranran rolled her eyes at her, "Class President, this isn’t our class, and you can’t control what I want to do."

"I can’t control what you want to do, but if you bring shame to our class, that’s a different story. What, do you also have a ’sponsor’? I can’t manage that."

As soon as the word "sponsor" was mentioned, two girls who were friendly with Zhao Haixue immediately chuckled. Their looks towards Tang Shu were filled with disdain and contempt, as were the curious glances from others in the exam room.

Tang Shu looked at the two girls with a faint gaze, her eyes sharp and slightly cold, which made the initially bold pair restrain themselves somewhat.

Zhao Haixue, however, became even more unabashed, "Look, Cheng Ranran, you’re still defending her. She herself has accepted it."

Cheng Ranran’s round face immediately turned red with anger, which strangely added a touch of cuteness.

Tang Shu couldn’t help but walk over and pinch the cute face, then looked up at Zhao Haixue, who was situated at a diagonal across the room.

"This... Classmate Zhao, right? Do you need me to send you a lawyer’s letter to prove your slander?"

"You!"

"Pfft—"

Many onlookers who were there for the drama chuckled softly.

Cheng Ranran’s mood suddenly improved, her voice ringing out even louder than before.

"Oh, Xiao Shushu, how come you’ve forgotten what our class president’s name is again? That won’t do, what if someone secretly tries to trip you up!"

Tang Shu cooperated very well, looking apologetically towards Zhao Haixue from afar.

"Sorry, I’ll definitely remember next time."

Ye Xiaohui clicked her tongue twice, nearly failing to resist giving the two a round of applause.

Too spicy!

Zhao Haixue’s eyes immediately reddened with anger, unable to say anything, just staring furiously at the two as if she would devour them the next second.

"The teacher is coming, the teacher is coming, everyone sit properly."

Everyone hurriedly began to sit up straight, waiting for the proctoring teacher to arrive. Tang Shu too returned to her own seat, and Ye Xiaohui poked her back with a pen.

"Classmate Tang, it’s been a few days, and your acting skills have improved yet again—"

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Can’t you be more modest?"

"Sometimes, being low-key only invites troublemakers, especially since I’m quite outstanding."

"..."

Ye Xiaohui stared at her back in disbelief. When had this person, who always valued being low-key, become so shameless?

The entertainment industry sure is a tough trainer.

"Can the stuff online be taken care of?"

"Don’t worry."

Ye Xiaohui, reassured by the response, focused on waiting for the proctoring teacher to distribute the exam papers.

***

The reporters who were staked out at the school gate until noon still didn’t catch a glimpse of Tang Shu.

"Are you sure Tang Shu is coming back to school today, or is there a mistake in the information?"

"How could there be a mistake? I’ve already checked thoroughly, and today is the day of the freshman midterm exams. She couldn’t possibly be exempt, could she?"

"But... what if she could be?"

"Impossible, Medical University is different from other universities. Since it’s a medical school and most of these students will enter top hospitals, they place a lot of importance on grades. Midterm exam scores are included in the final grade, and they’re also tied to scholarships. If she doesn’t take the exam, her final grades will be quite unsightly."

"You know all this?"

"Of course, I have insider information!"

"So what’s the situation now?"

Your insider information suddenly becomes useless at crucial moments, doesn’t it?

A whole morning passed, and not only did they not see Tang Shu herself, but they didn’t even see a female student who looked similar to her.

"Uh--could it be that she disguised herself in a way we don’t know about?"

"..."

The colleague with the camera didn’t even want to engage, sighed, set aside the camera worth tens of thousands, and idly started browsing the web on his phone.

"Holy shit!"

He hadn’t even settled into his seat before he sprung up from the ground because of his excessive reaction, his head hitting the school’s retractable alloy gate.

"Hiss--"

A sharp intake of breath followed immediately.

"What happened, did you find Tang Shu?"

"Where, where is she?"

The surrounding five or six media outlets quickly stood up, wielding their cameras like weapons, and began to look around in every direction.

The colleague who claimed to have insider information also widened his eyes expectantly.

"I’m saying, can’t you care about my head at a time like this?"

"...Uh, your head, how is it? Does it hurt?"

"Hmph!"

He huffed coldly and once again fixed his gaze on his phone screen, where there was a newly posted Weibo video.

And in that video was Tang Shu auditioning for Lu Xiangtong’s role.

At the same time, netizens who were closely following the event also discovered that Corridor Pavilion’s official Weibo had updated its content, listing in detail the audition times for all actors.

The timestamp on the top left corner of the released video showed that it was taken after all the actors had finished their auditions.

Soon after, comments appeared under the Weibo post.

[Who was it that said Tang Shu didn’t audition? Come out, I promise I won’t kill you!]

[Rumor-mongers should be dealt with immediately, always spouting nonsense, come on out, let’s have another chat!]

[Hilarious, you all said she didn’t audition, yet she was actually the last one to audition.]

[Just watched the audition clip and I’m back. Lu Xiangtong performed with true aristocratic grace, I’m convinced!]

[Aristocratic lady my foot, what’s that to Tang Shu who played Shen Siyi? Just change into a different outfit and it’s done!]

[emmmm, looks like we’re about to witness another round of ’accidental likes’ excuse—]

This netizen hit the nail on the head. This video broke the rumor that Tang Shu hadn’t participated in the audition, and those who had liked such rumors, like Zheng Yuehong, were instantly put in an awkward position.

To retract or not to retract the likes, that is a question worth pondering.

Besides that, that very first outspoken Weibo blogger was now receiving ’special care’ from the netizens.
