âNo, impossible!â
Hu Jiaqian put down her pen immediately, got up, and rushed over. She grabbed Lu Anâs paper and started reading.
That absolutely neat and concise essay was a major question that she had temporarily skipped over. After reading Lu Anâs answer, Hu Jiaqian felt like she had been enlightened.
Instantly, shame, anger, and bitterness welled up. Hu Jiaqian clenched her fists and shouted in disbelief, âI donât believe it!
âYou gave her the answers, and you deliberately made me lose!â
âErâ¦â
Everyone was stunned, including the teachers. They didnât know what to say.
As the saying went, if one was willing to bet, one had to be willing to admit defeat; there was no need to say anything else.
It was still Lu An who said, âFine, just take it that the teachers gave me the answer. This round doesnât count. Letâs use your test paper then.
âAs a Year 3 exam candidate, you should have a lot of practice papers for the college entrance exam, right? Or, if you donât have any, you can borrow one from a classmate you trust. That way, itâs impossible that I would have seen the paper beforehand, right?
âWeâll use that test paper, and use the results from that to determine the final outcome. What do you think?â
The little girl smiled slightly and wasnât afraid at all.
She had always been like this. Either she didnât do it, or she went all the way to convince everyone.
Since Hu Jiaqian wasnât convinced, Lu An didnât mind playing with her for a while longer; she was bored, anyway.
âYouâ¦â
Hu Jiaâs face was ashen. She gritted her teeth and endured it. After a long while, she finally said, âWait here, Iâll go and find one right now!â
With that, Hu Jiaqian turned around and went to get a test paper.
âD*mn, she really is going?â
âWhy do I suddenly feel like looking down on her?â
The spectating students were dumbfounded. Many people started to discuss it among themselves. âThere was clearly no problem with this test, right?â
âI saw it when the teachers were marking it just now. The way she solved many of the questions was different from the standard method, and it was even simpler and easier to understand. How could the teachers have given her the answers?â
âShe also didnât use any draft paper, and directly did the calculations in the corner of the test paper. That logic and reasoning clearly isnât ordinary. If you have the capability, why donât you try memorizing the answers in 40 minutes?â
âEspecially math questions. For people who donât know anything, no matter how many times you memorize them, you still wonât be able to do it, right?â
âThatâs right!â
Many people started to speak up for Lu An, but there were also more people who supported Hu Jiaqian.
âDonât just stand there and talk nonsense!â
âNo normal person, not even the top student in the year, Senior Zhao, can finish the questions so quickly and accurately. If it were you, wouldnât you be suspicious?â
âBesides, this is serious and has to do with whether or not sheâll be dropping out of school. To be crushed like this, of course we canât accept it!â
âSo, you doubt the teachers who came up with the questions, and you doubt the fact that the newbie may be a genius. Is this the only way you can tolerate it?â
âYou⦠We just want to be sure, alright?â
âIf she still does better than our Sister Qian even with another test paper, we guarantee that we wonât say any more.â
âReally? When the time comes, donât come up with a new bottom line!â
The two factions were at loggerheads, and kept arguing.
On the other side, Lu An went up to little Fifth Brother, who was holding little Ergou. She narrowed her bright eyes and smiled at him. âWhat do you think? I didnât embarrass Fifth Brother, right?â
âItâs⦠alright.â
A certain fifth brother felt awkward. He was too embarrassed to look at her. He hesitated, then grabbed the bread he had specially bought and stuffed it into her arms. âHere, this is for you.â
