Chapter 211: Born In Rome (1)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
A forum thread was created called [Year 1 English Faculty s.h.i.+ Yao Is A High Achiever] , which revealed s.h.i.+ Yao’s results ever since she enrolled into G University—an entire list of straight ‘A+’s.
There was another forum thread called [G University Women’s 10km Marathon Record Holder, s.h.i.+ Yao, is also G University’s Women’s 100m Sprint Record Holder] , which had a photo of s.h.i.+ Yao taking down the champion seat for the Autumn Sports Meet last year.
There was yet another forum thread called [The babe who thrashed Qin Yiran in the 10km Marathon earlier in the afternoon got full marks for her English in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination] , which had a photo containing s.h.i.+ Yao’s results in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. Just as the t.i.tle stated, she received full marks for her English, and the scores for her other subjects were also so high to that even those who had been known as high achievers back in their high school had nothing but respect for her too.
There was yet another forum thread called [Year 1 s.h.i.+ Yao took the Year 4 English modules in her first semester] , which posted s.h.i.+ Yao’s score for the examination in that module.
And these were just a few of the more popular ones; there were still many other threads that were related to s.h.i.+ Yao. There was one thread which reported that s.h.i.+ Yao had received first place in the G University English Oral Compet.i.tion, one that wrote that she was among the top three in the G University Debate Compet.i.tion, and one that described how one of her short stories had been published in a magazine…
There was even someone who compiled every single thread on s.h.i.+ Yao that had appeared on the forum and made an evaluation on the entire matter. The thread went by the t.i.tle [This Is A True G.o.ddess, A G.o.ddess Who Is The Embodiment Of G University’s Campus Belle] .
The responses in the thread were also surprisingly consistent. There were those expressing that they wanted to kneel down to her 1 , remarks on how she could have lived off her face and yet still wanted to rely on her talents to astound others, compliments that she was simply too impressive, and exclamations that she was not a human but a G.o.d, one who could live without a man… All in all, they were all praises.
Of course, because s.h.i.+ Yao and Qin Yiran once had a conflict on the school forum, quite a few people spoke about Qin Yiran as well.
Most of the comments compared s.h.i.+ Yao to Qin Yiran—one was a Campus Belle, and the other was a Campus Farce. There was really no grounds for comparison at all! If they were Lin Jiage, they would’ve chosen s.h.i.+ Yao as well. After all, Qin Yiran was too much of wimp that she couldn’t even finish the last lap for her 10km marathon… If the student populace was filled with praises when speaking of s.h.i.+ Yao, they had nothing but contempt and disdain for Qin Yiran.
Upon reading the comments on the forum, the ones who were the most excited were none other than s.h.i.+ Yao’s three roommates.
Jiang Yue: “How refres.h.i.+ng! Qin Yiran really raised a boulder just to crush her own feet! Attempting to steal a chicken only to lose a fistful of rice! Weaving a wedding gown for others to wear! Lost a wife together with an army of soldiers2 !”
He Tiantian: “She deserves it. If she didn’t try to pull some strings in the shadows, she wouldn’t have ended up like that in the first place. There’s no need to pity her at all. Right, Nuannuan?”
Leng Nuan placed down the book she was reading and nodded. “Using a line from TV dramas, this would be called ‘ villains sure know their melodrama well3 ‘.”
“Nuannuan’s words are really spot-on!” Jiang Yue nodded vehemently in agreement. After which, she turned to s.h.i.+ Yao and asked, “Yaoyao, would you like to give a celebratory speech on this topic?”
Instead of shyly backing away from the situation, s.h.i.+ Yao grandly spoke up, “Of course I do…”
A radiant smile blossomed on her face as she looked at her three roommates joyfully and said, “I’ve already made up my mind! I want yogurt for breakfast tomorrow, milk tea for lunch, and potato chips for dinner!”
He Tiantian: “…”
Jiang Yue: “…”
Leng Nuan: “…”
Noting the trio’s silence, s.h.i.+ Yao looked at them apprehensively and asked, “You guys aren’t thinking of s.h.i.+rking off your debts, are you?”
s.h.i.+rking off our debt, your head! We’re just speechless that you can only think about food while we’re talking about the forum…
While the trio was just about to rebuke s.h.i.+ Yao, the latter’s phone suddenly rang.
She took a look at the caller—it was Han Jing.
