Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 126 - 125: Cheating (Second Update)

Early in the morning, Gu Xiaoqing got up early.

She washed her face and did some simple stretching exercises.

She went to have breakfast with Feng Yue and the principal.

Each had a bowl of tofu pudding, two fried dough sticks, and a tea egg.

After eating, Principal Gu took them to the examination hall.

This competition lasts for three hours.

It is said that the results will be out in the afternoon.

They should be able to go back tonight.

Everyone was nervous.

Principal Gu advised Gu Xiaoqing and Jiang Weidong not to be nervous, to read the questions carefully, and other such reminders, then sent them into the examination hall.

Gu Xiaoqing sat in her seat and immediately saw Gu Xiaofang sitting next to her. It was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

Gu Xiaofang obviously saw her too and gave Gu Xiaoqing a furious glare before turning her head away.

Gu Xiaoqing smiled slightly.

Then there was Feng Yue, sitting right behind her to the right.

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

The proctor entered the room.

Two proctors, carrying the exam papers, came in.

Gu Xiaoqing felt like crying.

She had such bad luck.

One of the proctors was unexpectedly Li Zuoxin.

Isn’t this just fate bringing adversaries together?

In this hall, she had two rivals.

Obviously, Li Zuoxin also noticed Gu Xiaoqing.

That look was as if he had seen disgusting garbage, and he directly ignored her.

The exam papers were handed out.

One for each person.

Gu Xiaoqing kept her paper and passed the rest to the seat behind.

She began by writing her name and school in the appropriate fields.

Then she started answering the questions.

These questions weren’t really difficult for Gu Xiaoqing.

They were all topics she had studied before, though they included some twists and turns that made them seem hard, but if you had a solid foundation and were smart enough to strip away the disguises, you’d solve these questions with care.

One question completed after another.

There were three additional questions at the end.

These questions were more challenging.

However, Gu Xiaoqing knew these were most likely the math olympiad questions the students spoke of afterward.

Gu Xiaoqing knew about these because that college student tutor had covered every possible angle during tutoring sessions.

She had quite a crash course in this area.

So the memory of it was rather vivid.

These three questions were among those topics.

The difficulty was not very high.

But for current students, these questions were like heavenly books.

Moreover, these three questions accounted for almost a quarter of the total score.

After finishing the last three questions, Gu Xiaoqing began carefully checking her work.

While checking, she felt something hit her back and instinctively looked down to find a paper ball on the floor. Was this cheating?

Just then, a pair of leather shoes appeared beside her, standing right next to the paper ball on the ground.

A hand picked it up, "What is this?"

A stern voice sounded above Gu Xiaoqing’s head.

Gu Xiaoqing looked up and met Li Zuoxin’s sarcastic eyes.

Calmly she replied, "I don’t know."

She really didn’t know.

Li Zuoxin unfolded the paper ball, which was densely filled with exam answers.

With a sneer, he put the paper ball in front of Gu Xiaoqing and said, "You don’t know? You were cheating. Your paper is confiscated, and your score is canceled."

He triumphantly waved it in front of Gu Xiaoqing.

Gu Xiaoqing felt stifled.

When will it end?

She hadn’t provoke Li Zuoxin at all.

Yet Li Zuoxin came after her again.

Was this a revenge tactic?

Gu Xiaoqing stood up and said, "Teacher, this is unfair. How can you assume this paper ball is meant for me? You didn’t compare the handwriting; it’s not my notes. What makes you say it was passed to me?"

Li Zuoxin coldly laughed; this time, he had the evidence to make her pay dearly.

"You still think you have reason while cheating. The handwriting isn’t yours, but the note fell at your feet. It must have been passed to you."

Trying to argue still.

The other proctor from the podium also came over, took the paper ball from Li Zuoxin, examined it closely, then looked at Gu Xiaoqing’s exam paper.

Then said to Li Zuoxin, "Teacher Li, it’s possible there’s a misunderstanding; this handwriting isn’t the student’s."

Li Zuoxin’s face turned cold at being contradicted; this person was so inflexible.

Then he eased his expression and said to the other teacher, "Mr. Wang, although the handwriting isn’t hers, it doesn’t prove she wasn’t cheating. Maybe someone else passed it to her. We can’t tolerate such cheating behavior. Otherwise, it would disturb the other examinees in the future."

Mr. Wang clearly was an honest teacher and, after considering it, said, "Alright, Gu Xiaoqing, your paper is confiscated, and your score canceled. You can leave now."

In his heart, Mr. Wang didn’t want to believe this student was a cheater.

But so many eyes watched this unfold, and it indeed had a negative impact. Moreover, Li Zuoxin’s assumption was quite possible.

Gu Xiaoqing smiled and handed her paper to Mr. Wang, "Mr. Wang, Teacher Li, your assumption is almost impossible for me. See for yourself."

Mr. Wang took Gu Xiaoqing’s paper and looked through it meticulously, then awkwardly showed an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I didn’t thoroughly check your paper just now; I wronged you."

Li Zuoxin glared incredulously at Mr. Wang and aggressively demanded, "Mr. Wang, this is covering up, neglect of duty. I will report to the higher authorities."

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t know what to say.

Could Li Zuoxin, as a teacher, really not look more or think more?

Turning her head, she met Gu Xiaofang’s triumphant expression, which was immediately hidden when caught by Gu Xiaoqing, though she did smirk a bit. That smile was indeed glaring and arrogant.

Gu Xiaoqing had nothing to say for those who took advantage of others’ misfortune.

Mr. Wang continued explaining to Li Zuoxin, "Teacher Li, if you take a careful look at this set of papers, you will see that I am not covering up; I won’t wrongly accuse a student."

Li Zuoxin, full of anger, waved the crumpled piece of paper, shouting at Mr. Wang, "This is the evidence; did I falsely accuse her? Did I write this note? Or did you say I threw this note at her? How did it become me wrongly accusing her?"

Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t bear to watch Mr. Wang’s face splattered with spit.

It was truly upsetting.

Suddenly, a voice came from the classroom door, "What are you doing? Don’t you know it’s the students’ exam time? Such loud noise will affect the students’ mood." (To be continued.
