Chapter 343: Zi Yi, You Must Have Cheated!
There were too many onlookers and Director Chang had simply called for the school security guard to maintain order.
“Everyone is to stay outside and no one is allowed in!”
There was a large display screen outside the library which was used to broadcast compet.i.tions live. It just so happens that it could be used to broadcast the exchange of pointers between Zi Yi and Yang Wenhao.
As they watched the two of them taking a seat behind the computer, the onlookers outside were in constant discussion.
The freshmen students were guessing who would win.
“Is there still a need to guess? Yang Wenhao originally enrolled in the Mathematics Major and is also the top scorer of the college entrance examination. If he doesn’t win, do you think Zi Yi could win?”
“Why not? Zi Yi was capable enough to be the top scorer of the independent entrance examination and I doubt her abilities are lacking either. It’s still unknown who would win in the end.”
…
The senior students standing at the back merely stood there with the mindset of coming here to watch a pretty girl and a good show at the same time.
“Wow, such a beautiful female student. It’ll be great if I can make her my girlfriend.”
“As expected of freshmen. Such a low level compet.i.tion can make them so excited. I honestly wish to tell them that these kinds of compet.i.tions are simply insignificant compared to national level and even international compet.i.tions.
“Oh well, they are young. It’s just like a group of children playing against each other and we can just spectate from the sides.”
“This group of junior sisters and junior brothers can only maintain their naiveness during the first half of their freshmen year.”
Other than some seniors who came here to just join in on the fun, Yu Meng, the Head of Culture and Sports Department of the Student Union, crossed her arms and stood there as he asked Chu Xuan, “Did Zi Yi agree to partic.i.p.ate in tonight’s event?”
Chu Xuan’s voice revealed slight distress. “She rejected the offer.”
Yu Meng tilted his head and looked in his direction as he said in surprise, “There’s actually someone you are unable to persuade? Could it be that your charms are lacking in front of Zi Yi?”
Chu Xuan raised his hands and shrugged. “You’re right.”
“Pft!” Yu Meng rudely teased him. “I think it’s because she’s too beautiful and you had forgotten what to say instead! As long as you tell her of the benefits of partic.i.p.ating in the event, I don’t believe she would not be moved.”
“I said it.”
“What did you say?”
“That she would be able to earn credits from partic.i.p.ating in the event.”
“…”
Yu Meng suddenly stopped talking.
Chu Xuan’s lips curled up as he said, “Say, a junior sister who can remain unmoved even with the bait of credits. How could I possibly persuade her?”
Yu Meng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. A while later, he said, “It seems like I have to personally take on this task.”
“What are you planning to do?”
“Don’t interfere. In any case, I will make her agree to it,” Yu Meng confidently said and looked towards the large display screen.
However, his eyes widened in surprise at what he saw.
Just then, the onlookers were also greatly surprised.
“Wtf! The speed at which Zi Yi completes the questions. Isn’t it too fast?!”
“She’s not only fast. Take a look at the several teachers who are continuously nodding while they stand behind her. What does that mean?”
“It means that all her answers are correct!”
After Zi Yi finished the last question, she tilted her head and just so happened to see Yang Wenhao who was halfway done with his paper. She then announced, “I’m done.”
Yang Wenhao was originally confident as he solved the various questions quickly. When he heard what she said, his hands slipped and he turned around in disbelief to look in the direction of Zi Yi. In the end, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards Director Chang who had somehow gone to stand behind Zi Yi.
Director Chang had no choice but to nod. “Student Zi only used 10 minutes to complete the paper. Moreover, all her answers are correct. ”
Yang Wenhao’s expression instantly changed and he felt as if the skies were falling.
His hand gripping onto the mouse had trembled. In the end, he dropped the mouse and suddenly stood up from his chair.
Everyone was staring at him.
Director Chang called out to him in concern. “Student Yang, are you feeling alright?”
“I’m fine.” Yang Wenhao walked to Zi Yi and looked at her screen with clenched fists, without even blinking his eyes.
Zi Yi stood up and walked to one side before she said, “You lost.”
Yang Wenhao suddenly turned his head and took a look at her and his fists clenched so tightly that his veins were bulging out. His eyes were bloodshot as if he was about to start a fight. However, his shoulders slumped a few seconds later.
“I lost.”
Having said that, he turned around to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Zi Yi. “I will find you again to exchange pointers next semester.”
He left after he said his piece.
Everyone turned silent.
At that moment, they did not know how they should describe the feeling they felt deep down.
A while later, Director Huang revealed a smug smile and said in an irritating manner, “Director Chang, thanks for letting me win.”
Director Chang’s expression twisted for a second. He suddenly seemed to have thought of something and his eyes flickered with a glint as he directly said to Zi Yi. “Student Zi, aren’t you going to take up a Physics Major too? Why don’t you enroll in the Mathematics Major too?
“Hey hey hey… Director Chang, you can’t do this!”
“What can’t I do?” The choice lies with Student Zi and I’m just asking for her opinion.
When she saw that they were about to start another fight, Zi Yi spoke up. “You two can continue to chat. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Hey, Student Zi, you haven’t answered my suggestion?” Director Chang asked loudly.
While she walked, she said, “I will think about it.”
Following that, she headed towards the entrance of the library.
As she walked out of the library, what welcomed her were numerous gazes staring right at her.
Zi Yi continued to walk forward with a cold expression.
Everyone subconsciously made way for her.
When she was about to come out from the crowd, a sharp voice sounded. “Zi Yi, you must have cheated!”
Everyone’s gaze turned to the source of the voice.
Zi Yi stopped walking and looked towards Zi Xuan and Hua Xiaoli standing beside her.
Just then, Director Huang and Director Chang came out from the library.
They saw that the atmosphere seemed problematic and hastily headed to where Zi Yi stood.
“Little Zi, what happened?”
Zi Yi pointed at Hua Xiaoli. “She said I cheated.”
Hua Xiaoli’s complexion turned white at the sight of the two directors.
She was just about to explain herself, when Zi Xuan ran away in a dash.
Director Huang recalled Hua Xiaoli and his expression instantly turned stern. “It seems like the verbal warning you received when you slandered Student Zi is insufficient.”
“I– I…” Hua Xiaoli felt her brain buzzing and she subconsciously took a step back.
Director Cheng had also heard of this person before and furrowed his brows. “These types of students who slander at will should be given a heavier punishment before they learn their lesson. Otherwise, they would learn the bad habit of slandering their cla.s.smates. If she were to graduate in the future, people would think that the quality of M.Uni’s students is merely so-so.”
“That’s right.” Director Huang took out his phone and made a call.
How could Hua Xiaoli have expected such a severe consequence? She simply started to cry out loud all of a sudden.
Zi Yi coldly glanced at Hua Xiaoli, talked with the two Directors, and left shortly after.
After Zi Xuan ran out, she had never stopped running since then.
Her mind was in a mess, and she felt that the whole world was in a mess.
The person who she always looked down on had suddenly become so powerful one day. She was so powerful that she could not even compare to her. This made her unable to accept it.
Just then, the phone in her pocket rang.
Zi Xuan stopped running and took out her phone as she panted. When she saw the caller ID, she swiped to answer the call and immediately started to cry out loud.
Li Peirong, who was originally happily preparing to fetch her back to S City, felt heartbroken when she heard her cries. “Xuanxuan, what’s wrong? Don’t scare your mother. Did you get bullied?”
Zi Xuan did not speak and only cried with all her might.
