“Ning Yiyi? Yiyi! What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?”

A long and slender palm with distinct joints belonging to a youth carefully touched Ning Yi’s forehead, his voice anxious.

The moment that the other person’s palm fully touched her, Ning Yi discovered that the pain and memory clips suddenly disappeared.

“Hu—” She let out a long exhale, and raised her eyes to look over, “I’m okay.”

Lu Xu Nan’s thumb rubbed her temples. Frowning, he said, “Why are you suddenly sweating so much? Your forehead seems a little hot, and your face is pale. Did you skip breakfast again?”

“Skinny as a matchstic, and you’re still saying you’re fat, really…” The youth mumbled to himself, pulled open the string on the embroidered pouch, retrieved a candy, and unwrapped it.

Ning Yi watched him bring that pale pink hard crystal candy to tap her lips, using a very impatient tone as he said, “Hurry and eat it, don’t get low blood sugar and faint again, are you not troublesome enough…”

“I didn’t…” Ning Yi just opened her mouth and that candy was sent halfway into her mouth. She could only take the candy in with her tongue.

Just as she stood steady, she discovered that the eyes on her weren’t very friendly.

“It’s her, she couldn’t win so she cheated…”

“She probably got the answers beforehand. It’s incredible, she even copied out two full marks. Didn’t even know to deceive people when cheating, this is IQ?”

“Isn’t Number 1 God the pitiful one? She worked so hard to lose to a cheating dog in the end!”

“If the school doesn’t give Number 1 God an explanation, everyone should jointly resist. Otherwise, everyone should just buy answers, hehe.”

…

“Why did you leave so fast? I told you to wait for me.” Lu Xu Nan quickly came over from the back of the car, pulling Ning Yi’s arm to shorten the distance between her and himself. Then, he raised his voice with a cold face to the students on the left that were crowded together pointing at Ning Yi and said, “If you think that there’s something wrong with the grades for this midterm, you can go report it to the school. Being all noisy here with no proof, I don’t have the patience to be polite with you.”

Those few people looked at one another with dismay and quickly left. The surrounding sound of discussion also immediately ebbed a lot.

“Yiyi! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” Ju Meng jogged over with Mu Wanqing, happily reporting good news. “The physics grades have also come out, you got full marks at 300! A total of 749, the first in the school, and higher than Yan Ziyun by 38 points, this difference is really her perfect portrayal hahahaha!”

Each of Ning Yi’s elbows were looped by each of her two sisters. The moment she heard her score, she unexpectedly wasn’t thinking about where she lost points, but turned her head to take a glance at Lu Xu Nan.

The other person’s hands were in his pocket, his face cold as usual, a living image of ‘Do Not Enter’, but he kept a pace not too fast nor slow behind her, like a protector.

So…could it be that he was worried that she would be bullied at school, so he suddenly ran over to get a ride and walk together?

“Alright, stop crying first. If there really is a problem with this exam, the school and teacher will definitely handle it seriously. But before there is any evidence, you shouldn’t say anything for the time being. This is also unfair to other students. Teacher will guarantee you here that this matter will be taken care of as quickly as possible, okay?”

Right when she stepped into the classroom, Ning Yi saw Yan Ziyun with red eyes and Liu Ming next to her.

Upon seeing the other protagonist of this matter, the sound of discussion in the classroom immediately raised by an octave.

“The day’s plans are set in the morning, all of you properly memorize the text!” Liu Ming raised his voice and berated, frowning. He then turned to Ning Yi and said, “Ning Yi, come with me to the office.”

Lu Xu Nan frowned and took a big step forward, blocking in front of Ning Yi, “Teacher Liu, I’ll accompany Ning Yi.”

Liu Ming looked at the tall student with bright eyes and “I won’t let you bully Ning Yi” practically written in big words on his face, and couldn’t help but choke.

At this time, Ning Yi poked her head out from behind Lu Xu Nan. In a neither light nor heavy tone, she said, “Teacher Liu, if you want to talk about the midterm exam, then why don’t we just talk about it here!”

“This…” Liu Ming was a little hesitant.

His original intention was actually to protect Ning Yi. Now that there were so many rumors, as the teacher, he didn’t want the matter of someone reporting her for cheating to be talked about in front of everyone, lest there be more lies and slander.

Ning Yi made her way in front of Lu Xu Nan, and said, “It’s okay, teacher. Because there isn’t a problem with my grades, so whatever you have to say, you can say it directly.”

Liu Ming saw her so firm, he muttered, then said, “It’s like this, Ning Yi. First, I have to say that I trust every one of my students, and I believe in your character. But due to the extreme difference between your grades on this exam and your grades in the past, some students are skeptical about your grades, which raises doubts about the school’s management system. The school also attaches great importance to this matter. So I hope you can individually test again. All the questions for every subject will be written anew by the head teacher of each subject in the year. You will take the exam once the questions are written, and results will be announced on the spot. In this way, there won’t be anyone doubting you, and the rumors will naturally disperse.”

Ning Yi nodded as she listened, “It can be done, it’s not anything difficult anyway.”

Liu Ming’s mind relaxed. However, just as he was going to praise her for being sensible, he heard her take a swerve, smiling as she said, “But…I’m not willing.”

“Heh, are you not willing or you don’t dare? I think that without answers this time, you don’t dare to take the exam, right?” Yan Ziyun sneered.

The other students also deeply felt this way, their gazes at Ning Yi also immediately held contempt.

Ning Yi pretended not to hear her, she spoke sharply and clearly, “I am not willing because it’s not fair. Since the school proposed such a solution, then that means they haven’t found any problems whether it was proctoring or the confidentiality of the exam papers, am I right? Which also goes to say that there isn’t any evidence that I cheated on the exam right now. But yet, because of a certain portion of students’ subjective skepticism, I have to waste several hours retaking the exam. What if my grades are negatively affected by this pressure? Would they just determine that I cheated on the midterms? Teacher Liu, is this fair to me?”

“This…” Liu Ming’s words were stuck.

“Going around and around, in any case, you just don’t dare! You’re guilty!” Yan Ziyun jeered.

Liu Ming called Yan Ziyun’s name in disapproval, he said, “Don’t casually talk about classmates like this.”

He thought for a moment, and said to Ning Yi, “What you said is indeed possible. How about this, I will probe the leaders of the school again, as best as they can, on the difficulty of the questions…”

“The difficulty of the questions doesn’t matter, Teacher.” Ning Yi cut him off, she smiled and said, “I’m not willing, but I can retake it. But I require Yan Ziyun to retake it together with me. Because… I don’t like someone impersonating my alternate identity, and using my achievements in Quiz King for her selfish desire to slander me and look helpful. Oh right, I have a bit of a low fever today. I request to have temperatures taken before the exam and tell those students that have been fooled by Yan Ziyun that the Number 1 God won’t score just 275 in physics at that difficulty even if she is unwell.”

With this, Ning Yi pulled out her phone, tapped on it, pulled up the user homepage, and gave it to Liu Ming.

Naturally, Liu Ming knows about the recently popular app. He looked clearly at the content on the phone, and looked at Ning Yi in shock. “You’re Number 1 God? But isn’t it Yan Ziyun…”

“Holy sh*t! What did Teacher Liu say? Ning Yi is Number 1 God?”

“What kind of joke is this? It’s fake, right? Wasn’t Yan Ziyun even in the school paper?”

“Ning Yi let Teacher Liu see her user homepage, right? Ahhhh, f*ck, what kind of crazy big melon is this!”

…

Yan Ziyun was dumbfounded for four or five seconds before fiercely slamming her palm on the desk and jumping up. A little emotional, she shouted at Ning Yi, “You’re talking nonsense! What nonsense are you saying!”

Liu Ming frowned as he looked at her, showing her the phone in his hand, and said in a heavy voice, “Student Yan Ziyun, can teacher see your user homepage?”

The moment she saw the screen clearly, Yan Ziyun’s face immediately drained of blood, except for a pair of incredibly bloodshot eyes.

The next second, she fiercely took the phone and smashed it to the ground. With her hands on the desk, she glared at Ning Yi, looking a little sinister. “Fake! You’re fake! You don’t dare take the exam, so you’re pretending to be me! You’re fake! I am Number 1 God, I am!!!”

A student on the side picked up the phone from the ground. After looking at it, they looked regretful, and had people pass it to Ning Yi. “It’s broken.”

Ning Yi was still calm and composed. She looked at the cracked screen and lifted her eyes to look at Yan Ziyun: “It doesn’t matter. You broke this one, I can still log in again on another phone. But you can’t ever because you aren’t the real one.”

Yan Ziyun’s lips quivered. Perhaps her heart was already certain, but her mind still didn’t want to believe it. She even started to crazily blurt things out, “Even if I’m not! It still can’t be you! If you’re Number 1 God, why were your grades so bad before? Why didn’t you say it when I was interviewed by the school newspaper? Don’t think that people will believe you if you say it like this now! You’re a liar! A fake!”

At this time, someone in the middle of the classroom suddenly cried out in surprise.

“F*ck f*ck f*ck! Quiz King’s official account posted! They invited Number 1 God to participate in their new reality show! On it, on it- it says Ning Yi!!!”

A pebble caused a thousand ripples.

Everyone took out their phones to look on Weibo.

Yan Ziyun powerlessly backed up and sat paralyzed on the chair. She was still mumbling to herself, “No, how can you be Number 1 God…if, if you’re Number 1 God, why didn’t you say it early on…how can you always be last, impossible, this is fake, it can’t be you, can’t be you…”

Ning Yi put the broken phone in her pocket. She lowered her eyes to look at Yan Ziyun, and said, “Seeing that someone is pretending to be me and endlessly creating disturbances, even though I’m in a bad mood, I’ll just take it. After all, it’s not like taking an exam is something very difficult.”
