Qin Yiyi continued to pack up her things without even lifting her head.
It was as if she had never thought that the fire would burn her in the end. Just as she was about to take her things and leave, she suddenly heard a soft exclamation behind her.
âThe handwriting on this seems to be... Ah, it canât be... she definitely wonât do that...â
âHey, Qin Jiatong, what are you talking about? Do you recognize the handwriting on this?â
The person spoke with a loud voice. The sound immediately attracted the attention of many people.
The invigilator who was about to leave with the test paper stopped in his tracks.
âWhatâs going on?â
âTeacher, teacher, thereâs a note here. Someone cheated.â
âHey, thereâs no name written on the paper. Itâs useless to read it. Who knows who it is?â
âThatâs not necessarily the case. The teacher has the test paper in his hands. We can check the handwriting.â
Someone suddenly said this in a low voice.
Immediately, everyone nodded in agreement.
There was even someone who added, âThe few examinees nearby donât leave yet. Letâs see who it belongs to.â
Qin Yiyi didnât think too much about it.
She only glanced at Qin Jiatong, who was standing behind everyone. She suddenly felt like laughing.
This matter, could it be that Qin Jiatong deliberately targeted her?
If that was really the case...
She shook her head and simply took something and stopped there. Letâs take a look first.
âOh right, didnât Qin Jiatong say that she knows this handwriting?â
It was unknown who shouted this, but after that, he directly shouted at the top of his voice, âTeacher, teacher!â
âTeacher! Teacher! Qin Jiatong knows who this writing belongs to.â
The invigilator was a teacher of this school, so he naturally knew these students. When he heard this, his gaze fell on Qin Jiatong, âStudent Qin Jiatong, if you really recognize this writing, just say it. Just like what you said before, what we want is fairness and fair treatment.â He paused for a moment, then suggested seriously, âIf you think itâs inappropriate to say the same thing, how about you write it on a note for the teacher?â
âNo, I, I donât know...â
Qin Jiadong seemed to regret what she said earlier.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Facing the gazes of the crowd, she was a little terrified and shook her head.
âI, I really donât know. You guys donât have to ask me. I, I wonât tell you...â
When everyone heard her words, they all frowned. Even the invigilator wanted to say something.
She suddenly added another sentence.
âYou guys donât have to ask. Even if you ask me, I wonât tell you. Moreover, I feel that this matter is a misunderstanding. Really, sister, she...â
âAh, no, no, itâs not sisterâs handwriting...â
âReally.â
Everyone, â...â
Qin Yiyi, â...â
The invigilator, â...â
Qin Yiyi, who had eaten a melon, smiled helplessly.
As expected.
She put down the thing in her hand and smiled faintly, âStudent Qin Jiatong recognized my handwriting with just a casual glance just now. So you pay so much attention to me. Tsk, Iâm really flattered.â She tilted her head and smiled, her voice becoming more and more casual, âBut Student Qin Jiatong, can you explain what you saw just now?â
âI, I didnât see anything, really...â
âSister, donât be angry. I will definitely make things clear to everyone. It really wasnât you.â
âYou definitely wouldnât do such a thing.â
Qin Jiatongâs face was full of sadness and grievance, but her heart was filled with pride.
âLook, I just casually made a move, but I was able to cause this stinky girlâs reputation to be ruined!â
One had to know that at this moment, everyone was paying attention to Qin Yiyi with a strange look.
In their hearts, they were happy, and they wanted to immediately sing, âIâm so happy today!â
In the end, the invigilator directly called the person who had picked up the note, Qin Yiyi and Qin Jiatong to the office.
Because Qin Yiyi and Qin Jiatong were in the same class.
Teacher Zhou was quickly called over. Even though he already knew what had happened on the way here, Teacher Zhou was still very angry when he walked into the office.
âI say, Old Gu, are you mistaken? How could Qin Yiyi cheat?â
If it wasnât for him repeatedly looking for her...
This girl wouldnât have come to participate in the preliminaries, okay?
The quotas and whatnot, in this girlâs eyes, were really not worth anything.
Teacher Gu glanced at him, first handed the note over, then pointed at Qin Jiatong.
âThis student said that the handwriting belongs to Qin Yiyi. As the form teacher, you should take a look too.â
Although, Teacher Gu also felt that Qin Yiyi wouldnât do such a thing.
But the handwriting on it was almost exactly the same...
And up until now, other than saying that the note wasnât hers, Qin Yiyi hadnât said much.
In the eyes of others, this was almost equivalent to acquiescence.
It was guilt!
In fact, Qin Yiyi really just felt bored and that her methods were childâs play.
âAi, Student Qin Yiyi, this handwriting really seems to be the same as yours...â
Teacher Gu spread his hands at the side, not saying a word, but he clearly seemed to be saying...
âLook, look, look, now Iâm not the only one saying this, right?â
Teacher Zhou didnât believe it and looked at Qin Yiyi seriously.
âStudent Qin Yiyi, teacher wants to hear your explanation.â
A hint of a smile flashed across Qin Yiyiâs eyes, âTeacher, what if I say that the words on this note werenât written by me, but someone deliberately imitated my handwriting and threw it in to frame me when the exam was about to end?â
She raised her head and her eyes were indifferent. âTeacher, will you believe me?â
âOf course, teacher trusts his own student.â
Teacher Zhouâs words made Qin Jiatongâs eyes flash with anger.
She knew that this teacher had always been biased and did not take her seriously at all!
In his eyes, Qin Yiyi was a treasure and she was grass!
A wave of anger rose in her chest.
However, it was well concealed by her. She bit her lower lip and looked over with a stammering expression.
âSister, teacher, I, I really didnât say it on purpose just now. I, I was also shocked for a moment, thatâs why...â
âYou said it casually just because you were shocked for a moment?â
Teacher Zhou glanced at Qin Jiatong and his tone was very impatient, âYouâre not a handwriting expert. You said such words in front of so many people and let them think about Qin Yiyi. Have you ever thought about what kind of misunderstanding this is? If you wrongly accuse others, you might cause them to suffer for the rest of their lives?â
Teacher Zhou didnât think that his words were scaremongering.
For those with a bad mentality, it was fine if they couldnât think things through for a while, but if they went to the ends of the earth...
If this mental state dissipated...
It would be extremely disadvantageous for the third year of high school next year.
But wasnât it something that would last for the rest of their lives?!
He looked at Qin Jiatong and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. âYou should have told the teacher first...â
It was all right now. The students who walked out of the classroom were probably calling Qin Yiyi a cheater..
He thought back to the time when Qin Yiyi had to retake the exam in order to prove her innocence.
He didnât expect such a thing to happen now...
Teacher Zhou turned his head to look at Qin Yiyi, âDonât worry about this matter. As long as you say that you didnât become a cheater, I will definitely believe you. I will go and tell the principal. I will definitely get to the bottom of it. Donât worry.â He wouldnât simply malign any student in his class!
Of course, if that student really did something bad...
He would definitely not cover up for him!
Qin Yiyi pursed her lips and said with a serious expression, âThank you, Teacher Zhou.â
The more she looked at him, the more she felt that old Zhou was a really good person!
âMmm, Iâll just not anger him a few times in the future, or I wonât really anger him to the point of causing trouble...â
Teacher Zhou?smiled bitterly at teacher Gu and nodded.
âIâll have to trouble Teacher Gu with this matter. Letâs leave it at that for now. Iâll discuss it with the principal later.â
âOkay, then you go ahead.â
Teacher Gu walked out with the test papers in his hands.
Only Qin Yiyi, Qin Jiatong, and Teacher Zhou were left in the classroom.
Teacher Zhou didnât want to stay any longer. He just waved his hand at the two girls.
âYou guys should go back first. Iâll tell you guys when I have any results.â
In the end, he didnât forget to give Qin Yiyi a few special instructions.
Qin Jiatong, who was completely ignored by him, had an ugly expression on her face. In the end, she couldnât help but sneer and open her mouth.
âTeacher Zhou, you donât believe me, right? You clearly see my sisterâs handwriting every day and know what her handwriting looks like. However, you took a glance at that piece of paper and put it away. Now, you donât even mention it. What? Are you trying to be biased to the end and help my sister smooth this matter over?â
âTeacher Zhou, I wonât agree to it.â
âYou keep saying that itâs fair and just. But Teacher Zhou, have you ever been truly fair and just?â
âThe hearts of you teachers, including the principal, are all crooked!â
âSince this matter can not be investigated clearly, I will go to the education bureau to find someone to explain it clearly.â
Teacher Zhouâs face turned green after hearing what she said.
His brows were tightly knitted together, âStudent Qin Jiatong, you have to have evidence when you speak. Other than seeing this note and feeling that the handwriting is the same as student Qin Yiyiâs, do you have any other evidence? If you do, please take it out. If you donât, then I will have to trouble you to not stop me from going out to do business.â
Qin Jiatong chuckled coldly.
âSince itâs for this matter, then sister and I should go and take a look together.â
âSister, what do you think?â
Qin Jiatongâs tone was filled with provocation.
Do you dare to go together?
Qin Yiyi glanced at her as if she was looking at a fool.
This sister, they hadnât seen each other for a few months. When she asked Lu Jinwan, she said that Qin Jiatong had been keeping a low profile.
She had been keeping a very low profile recently.
When she thought about it occasionally, she thought that Qin Jiatong had learned to keep a low profile.
But she didnât expect that...
Oh, she was waiting for her here with her ultimate move.
Teacher Zhouâs brows could crush ten mosquitoes. He shot a warning glance at Qin Jiatong.
âWe still have to accept the teachersâ arrangements. Itâs useless for you to do your own thing now.â
He knew that Qin Jiatong was definitely worried about him and the school.
Teacher Zhou was not in a good mood. âYou guys go back first...â
The two words âClassroomâ were not finished yet.
Qin Yiyi opened her mouth with a smile, âTeacher Zhou, this matter has to be resolved sooner or later. Since the parties involved are all here, letâs go together and make this matter clear.â Tilting her head, she looked at Qin Jiatong, whose eyes were shining with determination. Qin Yiyi shook her head and looked at Teacher Zhou again. âLetâs go together.â
Teacher Zhou thought about it and also felt that this was not bad.
Moreover, he had some other thoughts in his heart, but he did not say it in front of a few people.
After hearing Qin Yiyiâs words, he immediately nodded.
âIf thatâs the case, then letâs go together.â
Qin Yiyi smiled as she followed him.
After taking a few steps forward, she suddenly turned around and her gaze met with Qin Jiatongâs eyes, which were filled with malice.
Once again, Qin Yiyi couldnât help but sigh.
It was fine if Qin Jiatongâs mother and father didnât treat her well, but it wouldnât affect Qin Jiatongâs desire to get rid of her.
She felt that there was something wrong with Qin Jiatongâs attitude toward her.
But she couldnât tell the exact details...
Forget it, forget it. Letâs get past this hurdle first.
There was someone in the principalâs office.
Coincidentally, Teacher Gu was also there.
He was invigilating the exam, so he naturally had to come over and inform the principal.
Teacher Zhou wasnât surprised to see him. He just nodded and then looked at the principal and sighed.
âPrincipal, look at this matter...â
The principal did not wait for him to finish speaking and directly looked at Qin Yiyi. âHow was it? How was the exam? I was thinking that you would be fine even if you didnât take the exam this time. Sitting there for more than an hour is so tiring. Quickly sit down, Iâll pour tea for you...â
Qin Yiyi was really a little thirsty.
However, she did not dare to ask the principal to make tea for her. She brewed it herself and then poured herself a cup to drink slowly.
The more Qin Jiatong looked, the angrier she became. Without thinking, she took two steps forward.
âPrincipal, is this how you treat students who cheat?â
Qin Jiatong couldnât take it anymore. She looked at the principal and sneered twice, âIf you have this attitude, you definitely canât handle this matter well. Since thatâs the case, then Iâd better go to the relevant departments and have a good talk.â Even now, the principal was still biased. Right, then. She would let them see if this matter could be turned into a small matter like what they had thought!
The principalâs expression was also a little ugly. âStudent Qin Jiatong, is this how you talk to the principal?â
âIâm afraid that the respect for teachers and love for children that I usually teach you has all been in vain, right?â
âThe attitude towards everyone is naturally different. Some teachers are worthy of respect, and some are...â
She looked at the principal and refused to budge an inch.
Qin Yiyi blinked her eyes, finding it a little funny.
This Qin Jiatong, was she planning to walk the path of solitary courage?
The heavens were pitying her. How did she force herself into such a situation?!
A loud and clear voice sounded from outside the office, âPrincipal, the item has been found, but itâs broken.â
How could it be broken?
Seeing a teacher walking in with a surveillance camera, Teacher Zhouâs eyes lit up.
âIs this the surveillance camera of that classroom? Hurry up and show it to me.â
If he could prove that this girl was innocent...
He would treat the whole class to milk tea later!
Qin Yiyi didnât see that her teacher had made a wish in his heart. She stood there calmly and waited.
Qin Jiatong, on the other hand, looked at that teacher with a twinkle in her eyes.
Didnât they say that they had already hijacked the surveillance cameras? How could there be another surveillance camera?!
