âTan Ron, what happened?â The homeroom teacher was quite anxious. He hadnât even seen the results, so how did it get posted online? Moreover, it was posted on the school forum by a student from another school. All of these were ridiculous.
âSir, the results are authentic. We just found out about it too.â Tan Rou admitted, âWe only got to check them a few minutes before this when they got released.â
The homeroom teacher was very confused. âOther than the Education Bureau who knows the results in advance, there shouldnât be anyone else who knows faster than the examinees, right? Moreover, the Education Bureau had a confidentiality agreement. They wouldnât say anything until it was officially released.
âPlease donât be anxious.â Tan Rou said, âThe results havenât been announced yet. We canât take their words seriously. We should take advantage of this time to think of a way to deal with them.â
âTan Rou, you didnât cheat, did you?â the homeroom teacher asked uneasily.
Tan Rou smiled and said helplessly, âSir, I have the skills to get first place. Why would I cheat to ruin my reputation?â
The homeroom teacher was relieved. âAlright, the teacher and the school will do their best to protect your reputation.â
Tan Rou was relieved to hear her homeroom teacherâs assurance. It was fine as long as someone was willing to believe her.
In the afternoon, the results of the physics competition were finally announced. Tan Rou was first, the Wang siblings were second, Lu Qing was behind them, Tan Jing was eighth, and Li Li was tenth.
Once the results were announced, the entire cityâs high school was in an uproar. Just like the Wang siblings had reported, Tan Rou had scored full marks and was also first place. The students who were skeptical at first completely believed them this time. They rushed to Tan Rouâs schoolâs official forum and flooded it with the same comments, demanding that Tan Rouâs school give them an explanation to this.
Not everyone participated in the physics competition, but 99% of the people wanted to see Tan Rou get expelled for cheating. After all, the onlookers wouldnât mind making a big deal out of it.
In the morning, Tan Rou went to the homeroom teacherâs office. In the afternoon, she was called to the principalâs office.
The principalâs first sentence was, âI believe you.â
âThank you for your trust.â Tan Rou smiled and said gratefully.
âHmm⦠but youâre really unlucky. Every time you take an exam, youâll be reported for cheating. Those who report you wonât suffer any losses, but your reputation will be tainted.â
Tan Rou said, âMaybe itâs because I performed too badly in the past. Now that Iâm starting to perform well, most people canât accept it.â
âI believe in you. Youâre not the kind of kid whoâd cheat on exams,â the headmaster said firmly. âIâve heard about the twins from No. 46 High School. Theyâre very concerned about their grades. Theyâve already reached a stage where theyâre sick.â
âYes.â Tan Rou nodded. âThey came to me before the exam, but I didnât pay them any attention. I just told them to finish the paper and weâll compete with the results. I didnât expect them to be so crazy. The results hadnât even been released yet, and they were already starting to report me using their real names.â
âHow do you plan to deal with it?â The principal believed that Tan Rou had the ability to solve this problem.
âEvery time their results get surpassed by others, they would always try their best to win it back. This time, I came first and they ended up second. There is still some time before the next round. I donât want to see them there.â Tan Rou suggested.
âNo matter what you plan to do, the school will fully cooperate with you.â The principal said, âThis is not just a fight between your students, but also a competition between our schools.â
The headmasters had long heard of the siblings. They were well-known for their good grades and bad temper. The two of them often teamed up to make things difficult for other students. There was once a first-place student in No. 46 High School, but he was stalked by the two of them every day and suffered from serious mental illness. In the end, he chose to drop out of school and return home to recuperate. He couldnât let the good seedlings in his school be affected by this pair of siblings.
âSure⦠there is something that I would have to trouble you for.â Tan Rou said, âI think we can make use of the Wang siblings.â
The principal of No. 46 High School looked at the twin siblings in front of him with a livid expression. He really had a headache. The siblings were good in everything, but they never had a good character. They were too narrow-minded.
Originally, it was already excellent for the siblings to be tied for second place, but the two of them insisted on causing trouble and even reported Tan Rou who got first..
