Chapter 138 - She's One Upped You

Jiang Yu was stunned for a few seconds when he heard that Qin Shu was in first place. He stretched out his hand in disbelief and patted Fu Tingyan, who was still sleeping on the table.

"Tingyan, stop sleeping. Someone's managed to one-up you."

Fu Tingyan tilted his head and looked at Jiang Yu coldly.

Jiang Yu felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly corrected himself, "I said it wrong. I mean, Qin Shu stole your first place."

Fu Tingyan said, "I have ears."

Jiang Yu asked in puzzlement, "Then why didn't you react at all?"

Fu Tingyan slowly sat up straight, his well-defined fingers combing through his fringe. "Would that work? Would I be able to get first place back?"

"It's just that Qin Shu's results have improved by leaps and bounds. It's a little too outrageous. Did she cheat?"Jiang Yu guessed.

Fu Tingyan shook his head. "No."

He had sat next to Qin Shu. If she had cheated, he would have been able to tell at a glance.

She hadn't cheated, but her results had improved by leaps and bounds... It was indeed unbelievable.

Oh?

How could Tingyan be so sure that Qin Shu hadn't cheated?

-

The students looked at Qin Shu in disbelief.

Although they were curious how Qin Shu's results had actually surpassed the class monitor's, they only dared to whisper about it because their class monitor was seated behind them.

"How could Qin Shu possibly get first place? It's impossible for her to even get into the top ten of the class."

"Even the class monitor is certain that she had not cheated. That means that her results are real."

"The class monitor spoke up for her again? How many times has he helped Qin Shu?"

"... Uh!"

"Right, how could the school get the data wrong? They actually made such a low-level mistake?"

"Doesn't Xia Yihua like Han Xiao? She comes from a powerful background. Is there anything that she can't do?"

"Qin Shu's test papers disappeared for no reason. Maybe it's to destroy the evidence?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

-

Ye Xue grabbed Qin Shu's hand. She was so excited that her voice trembled. "Qin Shu, you got first place. That's amazing."

Qin Shu only smiled and didn't say anything.

"You are sure to get into Imperial College with these scores. I have to work hard to get into Imperial College and be your schoolmate."

Qin Shu's improvement was like a ray of light, giving Ye Xue more motivation to work hard.

Seeing Ye Xue's fighting spirit, Qin Shu smiled and encouraged her, "Do your best. You can do it too."

Ye Xue nodded heavily. "I will."

Meanwhile, in the class next door-

When Xia Yihua heard the broadcast, she knew that what she had done had been exposed. Her expression looked extremely ugly at that moment.

Not only had she become a joke in the school, she had lost the chance to compete in the friendly competition with the neighboring school.

She had lost the chance that she had received after much difficulty just like that.

Xia Yihua was so angry that she pushed her newly bought stationery from the desk and threw them on the floor to vent her anger.

Xia Yihua's lackeys looked at each other and did not dare to go forward to comfort her. However, they knew what was going on in their hearts.

Qin Ya, who was seated in front, was stunned. That idiot Qin Shu got first place?

A lousy student who had failed to get into university after repeating her senior year twice, got first place?

How, how was that possible?

After class

Qin Shu carried her school bag and walked out of the school gate as fast as she could because she wanted to tell Fu Tingyu her results as soon as she could.

When she reached the usual spot, she didn't see Fu Tingyan's car, but saw a familiar car parked by the roadside.

Shi Yan saw Qin Shu coming. He got out of the driver's seat, opened the back door, and waited for Qin Shu.

The corners of Qin Shu's lips lifted. She held on tightly to her schoolbag straps and jogged to the car before getting into it.

Shi Yan closed the car door, got into the driver's seat, started the engine, and pulled away.
