Wu Zhiheng froze. He seemed surprised, and it took him quite a while to realize that Ma Mingquan was humiliating him.
The students below the stage were clapping their hands and cheering vigorously when they saw Lu Yumo team up with Ma Mingquan to slap Wu Zhiheng in the face.
Nobody knew when Song Fang had come near the stage, but by the time they realized it, he was already there. He raised his arm and waved in the direction with the fewest cheering sounds.
All of a sudden, every student began chanting âLu Yumo is the bestâ, their voices resounding throughout the gymnasium.
This was the first time an under-achieving student could lift his head high in front of everyone, as well as another school in an exchange meeting.
There was one first-year student who was Lu Yumoâs fan in the gymnasium. When she saw the scene, she could not help shouting, âLu Yumo, youâre my idol! I love you!â
Hearing her confession, Lu Yumo took a big step back and hugged himself.
âStay away from me!â
While looking at the crowd that was shouting and cheering uncontrollably, Wu Zhiheng did not know whether he should be laughing or crying. He picked up the microphone and said, âIâm sorry, but can you guys be quiet for a moment? I donât think you guys understand what Iâm asking for.
âJust because you have answered those questions, it doesnât mean that your answers are correct. Only if you guys give the correct answers will No.1 High School win. Donât you think so?â
Ouyang Ya had gotten those Chemistry questions through a certain channel. According to her, those questions had been taken from an examination of a certain pharmaceutical team in their country.
Only professionals would understand what those questions were asking, and if they did not have the answers, the Chemistry teachers of Hang Yuan would not have been able to answer the questions either.
Therefore, when Ma Mingquan told him that an under-achieving student like Lu Yumo could answer those questions, his first thought was that Ma Mingquan was messing with him.
âDoes he think Iâm stupid?â
âWe understood what you were asking for,â Ma Mingquan replied, offering him a smile. âBut I think you should reflect on yourself. After all, it seems to me that youâve overestimated your own abilities.â
Wu Zhiheng was confused. He looked at his friends, and none of them could understand what Ma Mingquan was trying to say.
âWhat could an under-achieving student possibly do? Bite us to death?â
Just as the thought appeared in Wu Zhihengâs head, the questions that Lu Yumo had finished appeared on the big screen.
His writing was neat, and if one was observant enough, he or she would notice that his writing was more or less similar to Fu Zhiâs.
When Wu Zhiheng saw a few particularly familiar words, his heart skipped a beat.
âDid he really answer the questions?â
At the same time, Ouyang Ya clutched her hand nervously.
Those Chemistry questions had been given to her by an elder in her family, and it had taken the elder a few days to understand the questions. However, he had still been unable to finish them in the end, and he had been chased back to the Ouyang Family by his team leader.
Even a professional was unable to answer the questions, let alone an underperforming student.
âThereâs no way he could get the answers right...â
Just as the thought took shape in Ouyang Yaâs head, the microphone dropped from Wu Zhihengâs hand.
âMay I ask if youâre satisfied with the answers of our underperforming student?â
Wu Zhiheng did not say anything. His eyes were blank, and he felt pain in his cheek, as if someone had slapped his face.
Slowly, ever so slowly, he took the answers out of his pocket.
Initially, heâd planned to write the answers down on the blackboard to humiliate No.1 High School if none of them was able to answer those questions.
However, little had he expected that...
Ouyang Ya was unable to believe what she was seeing right now. She stared at Lu Yumo and said, âYou said heâs the one who answered those questions? Can you prove it then? Otherwise, I can say that you guys hired someone to answer the questions for him.â
Ouyang Ya knew better than anyone the difficulty of those Chemistry questions.
The first person that popped into her mind was the owner of âDefinitely Not A Dishonest Shopâ, as the three medicines mentioned in the questions could be bought from this shop.
Besides, the owner of the shop had said that he lived in Yu City.
Ouyang Ya then added, âI wonder if Director Liu would like to tell us the name of the person who answered these three questions? Iâm sure he must be a great man as well since he was able to answer the questions correctly.â
âHeâs not a great man at all. By the way, arenât these three questions the easiest questions from Hang Yuanâs test paper?â
Ouyang Yaâs face sank when she heard what Director Liu had said. The scheme had backfired on her in a way she had not expected.
Seeing his chance, Ma Mingquan picked the microphone up and said, âDirector Liuâs right. However, if you guys are interested, I can introduce you to the first student who answered the questions.â
Then, he gestured to the staff, and all the lights zeroed in on the corner of the hall.
Ouyang Ya sat up straight and gazed toward the spot where the lights had gathered. The first thing that rammed into her vision was a girl carrying a bunny bag. There was a tall young man standing beside her. The girl was holding a photo in her hand in front of the bulletin board, as sheâd realized that she had not brought any glue with her.
Then, she pulled a black pen out of her bag and drew a chibi version of herself on top of her own name. The young man beside her snatched her pen and drew a small heart on the right corner.
Very soon, after she finished her drawing and just as she was about to go away with the young man, she froze.
âOops, busted...â
As Fu Zhi was wondering if she should push Ye Jiu out, someone shouted, âFu Zhi? Isnât she bad at Chemistry?â
âIt was the transfer student beside her who answered the questions, right?â
Ma Mingquan then replied, âNope. It was Fu Zhi. I saw her answer the questions this afternoon with my own eyes.â
The crowd was stunned.
Holy cow!
Fu Zhi knew how to answer Chemistry questions?
Ma Mingquan added, âI think it took her about three minutes. Of course, itâs nothing compared to someone who can answer those questions in 30 minutes.â
âPfftââ
Some students could not hold themselves and broke into laughter.
âAlthough itâs insulting, Fu Zhi also told me that these three questions donât follow the medical rules and are actually wrong.
âI believe in my students, so I would like to ask the students of Hang Yuan, why are all your questions wrong? And since they are such simple questions, how come none of you noticed the mistakes? Could you guys have been waiting for us to tell you about the mistakes?â
Wu Zhiheng did not know what to say.
âThe questions are wrong? Where? How? What is wrong?â
He didnât see anything wrong with the questions at all!
