Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Qi was stunned in place, her eyes wide open.
Jian Yunzhou crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. He said, “Rong Qi, I didn’t quite catch what you just said.”
Rong Qi was still in shock and hadn’t snapped out of it.
Qiu Yonggen stared at Rong Qi, frustrated that she was making things difficult. He turned to Jian Yunzhou with an apologetic smile and said, “Mr. Jian, Rong Qi is straightforward. Please don’t mind her words; they don’t count.”
Qiu Yonggen was afraid of offending Jian Yunzhou.
Rong Qi scoffed and fell silent, her gaze fixed on Jian Yunzhou, pondering why he was here.
Rong Feiyu clenched her fists and felt a sense of discomfort. She couldn’t understand why Jian Yunzhou, who had always been strict with students, wasn’t concerned about Rong Qi’s involvement with those gangsters.
Jian Yunzhou cast a meaningful look at Rong Qi, then composed himself and said, “Now that everyone is here, let’s begin.”
Qiu Yonggen hurriedly nodded and had Rong Qi and the others take their seats separately. The members of the Academic and Research Society then opened the sealed exam papers and distributed them to the students, commencing the examination.
Since Rong Qi had a long break between cla.s.ses, half an hour of examination time was enough for her. Rong Qi sighed and calculated the time in her mind before starting to answer the questions.
Throughout the exam, Jian Yunzhou’s gaze remained fixed on Rong Qi. Despite her numerous silent protests, his scrutiny continued.
Rong Feiyu, initially upset, found herself too nervous to focus on her exam. She had never heard that joining the Academic and Research Society had an entrance exam. She thought she was unlucky.
Then, Rong Feiyu could only nervously do the exam. Compared to the other three candidates, her helplessness was pretty obvious. Aside from the compulsory subjects from high school, they also covered university-level topics. Some of these topics she hadn’t studied yet.
‘Apart from Su Yifan, everyone should be able to do it, right?’ Rong Feiyu thought.
Rong Feiyu turned her head slightly and was shocked to see that the other three were writing fluidly as if they didn’t find the questions challenging at all. Especially Rong Qi, she was answering questions at an incredible speed.
Rong Feiyu had just finished the first page, and Rong Qi had already turned the page to the third page of questions. Rong Feiyu was taken aback. She suddenly realized that she had underestimated Rong Qi. Her previous impression of Rong Qi as a foolish person was deeply ingrained, and she hadn’t paid her much attention. She had thought that she was better than Rong Qi in everything.
However, Rong Feiyu suddenly remembered that during the entrance test, Rong Qi had scored a perfect score! Rong Feiyu’s face turned pale at the thought of that.
‘The others were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence, but 1…’ Rong Feiyu thought.
Rong Feiyu bit her lip and glanced at the questions further down. She realized she was struggling with most of them, as they covered topics she was unfamiliar with. She turned her eyes, suddenly clutched her stomach, and grimaced. She trembled as she raised her hand and said, “Sir…”
Tang Lin, who attached great importance to this exam, had his eyes fixed on Rong Feiyu and He Jinghan. He was the first to notice Rong Feiyu’s abnormality and immediately asked, “What’s wrong, Rong Feiyu? Is there a problem? Is something bothering you?”
Rong Feiyu blushed and, under Tang Lin’s questioning, felt even more embarra.s.sed. She raised her trembling hand and said, “Uh, Mr. Tang… My stomach hurts so much, and I feel so weak. I… Uh…”
Rong Feiyu looked as if she was in pain and might collapse from her chair at any moment..
