Chapter 32

Exam Office.

After the first Chinese exam ended, the invigilators all came to this office in the comprehensive building.

Li Xueping was chatting and laughing with several teachers while organizing the collected answer sheets.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Teacher Li!"

Several people looked toward the person who arrived.

"Teacher Liu, is something the matter?"

"Teacher Li, you're not being kind!"

Liu Xuan said with a playful reproach.

"Teacher Liu, what... what do you mean by that?"

Li Xueping was a bit confused.

"When did your class produce another top Chinese student? I haven't heard you mention it!"

"Top Chinese student? Who?"

Liu Xuan rolled her eyes: "Still playing dumb? A boy named Qin Tian, isn't he in your class?"

"Who did you say? Qin Tian?"

Li Xueping looked shocked.

"Yes!"

"We do have such a student in our class, but he's not a top student; he was at the bottom of the class in the last exam, and his Chinese grade didn't even pass."

"Ah?"

Now it was Liu Xuan's turn to be dumbfounded.

"No, no, no, impossible, how could that student fail Chinese? Teacher Li, did you remember wrong?"

"No, Teacher Liu, you are talking about Qin Tian, right!"

"Yes, could it be that there is another Qin Tian in your class?"

Li Xueping: "..."

"Teacher Liu, why don't you explain what's going on first?"

A male teacher next to him suggested with a laugh.

Liu Xuan nodded in realization and then told the story of Qin Tian in the exam room.

After Li Xueping and the others finished listening, looks of shock appeared on their faces.

"Teacher Liu, you mean he handed in his paper more than forty minutes early? And answered it well?"

Li Xueping confirmed with a serious expression.

"Yes, I've looked at his answer sheet several times, and barring any accidents, it's definitely an answer sheet that will score over 140 points."

Liu Xuan answered in a serious tone.

Li Xueping was silent for a moment, remembering Qin Tian's confident bet with Wu Xin and what he said at the stairwell:

"Old Li, actually, I was just pretending before. I originally wanted to get along with them as a poor student, but I didn't expect to get alienation in return, so... I decided not to pretend this time."

At the time, hearing this, he only felt that this kid was really skilled at bragging.

If he used this ability on his studies, then getting into a good university shouldn't be a problem.

Now, after hearing this shocking news from Teacher Liu, Li Xueping began to be half-believing.

Could it be...

That kid really succeeded in his act?

"Teacher Liu, why are you walking so fast!"

At this time, the male teacher who was invigilating with Liu Xuan walked over quickly, panting.

Liu Xuan glanced at him and said indifferently: "Teacher Qian, it's you who are walking too slowly. Your body... needs to be strengthened with exercise!"

"Uh..."

Teacher Qian's expression stiffened.

Several teachers saw this scene and couldn't help but turn their heads to laugh secretly.

Li Xueping didn't have the heart for this; his focus was all on Qin Tian.

"Teacher Qian, you came at a good time, Teacher Liu just said..."

"There is such a student, he handed in his paper when there was still a long time left, and he didn't check it either. I hadn't had time to stop him, and Teacher Liu let him go."

Teacher Qian nodded and said.

Liu Xuan said irritably: "Teacher Qian, are you blaming me? He had already finished the paper, and he answered it very well, so why couldn't he hand it in and leave."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Teacher Qian waved his hands in a panic.

"Teacher Qian, how do you think he did?"

Li Xueping asked again.

"I teach math, I don't know much about Chinese, but your student's casual attitude toward the exam..."

Teacher Qian remembered the several times he had annoyed Liu Xuan and transferred some of his dissatisfaction and resentment to the student who had handed in his paper early.

That's right, if he hadn't handed in his paper early, he wouldn't have said the wrong thing.

He only said half of what he meant, but the meaning was already very clear.

Liu Xuan was speechless to the extreme; she had already sentenced this person to death in her heart.

If it wasn't necessary, she wouldn't even want to talk to this person.

His emotional intelligence was so low it was appalling.

"If you don't understand, can you not talk?"

Liu Xuan glared at him expressionlessly and looked at Li Xueping, continuing:

"Teacher Li, don't you believe me? If it weren't for the fact that this answer sheet is sealed, I would love to take it out and show it to you right now. I dare to bet with you that his Chinese exam score this time will definitely be over 140."

Hearing her certain tone, Li Xueping believed it.

He had always recognized Liu Xuan's Chinese proficiency and knew she wasn't the type of person to talk nonsense without being sure.

"That brat, he really knows how to play!"

Li Xueping said with a wry smile.

A group of teachers looked at each other upon hearing this.

………………………………………………………………

Qin Tian didn't know that the teachers in the exam office were discussing him intensely.

At this moment, he was scratching his head, thinking about how to make up for his mistake.

On the way back to the classroom, Xia Nuannuan hadn't paid any attention to him.

As soon as the two walked into the classroom, they saw Xu Ying standing there, talking excitedly with her two little sisters.

This time she didn't dare to sit in Qin Tian's seat again, but stood in the corridor beside Cui Ying's desk.

Seeing the two walk over, a sneer of disdain appeared on Xu Ying's face.

She deliberately raised her voice and mocked: "Qin Tian, I heard from Cui Ying that you handed in your paper nearly fifty minutes early, huh? What? You couldn't write the essay and just gave up on yourself?"

The surroundings suddenly went quiet.

Everyone cast surprised glances at Qin Tian, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Handing in the paper fifty minutes early was too exaggerated.

Even the person with the best Chinese grades in the class couldn't finish that fast.

Everyone's first reaction was similar to Xu Ying's, thinking that Qin Tian had probably just given up.

Only Xia Nuannuan didn't think so.

"Saying these things now, when the grades come out, be careful not to slap your own face."

Xia Nuannuan reminded him and walked in to sit in her seat.

"You—"

Xu Ying's eyes widened, glaring at her.

She never expected that Xia Nuannuan, who had been so timid a few days ago, would dare to talk to her like this now.

The other students in the class were also surprised.

"Is this Xia Nuannuan? Why does it feel like she has changed so much!"

"Eh? Why does she feel like she has lost some weight, she seems to have become prettier."

"She is indeed much prettier, it seems the running before evening self-study worked."

"And she is more confident and generous, and also, did you notice, she is quite fierce!"

"Uh... it really is, so envious! I'm completely flat."

"I feel like after she successfully lost weight, it's really possible she could counterattack into a great beauty!"

"..."

At this moment, after everyone's attention was focused on Xia Nuannuan, they all began to notice her changes.

Qin Tian also smiled with relief, sat down, looked at Xia Nuannuan, and praised: "Not bad, you've improved, you can even talk back to people now."

Xia Nuannuan blushed in embarrassment, hummed coldly, and turned her head away.

"Still jealous?"

"No."

"Does this look like 'no'?"

"It just is no."

Watching the two laughing and talking, Xu Ying, who was completely ignored, had a livid face, her teeth almost shattered from clenching.
