Chapter 79: 079, Those who dare accuse me of cheating, stand up.

"Strutting around like that, she’ll get her comeuppance eventually. Racing bikes on the school grounds is strictly forbidden at Beisen. She knowingly breaks the rules; Jingxuan, Ye Jiuliang is definitely in for it this time," the heavily made-up girl stared at the fading silhouette of the motorcycle and turned to the person beside her with a fawning smile.

Li Jingxuan’s lips were tight, her expression complex. Ye Jiuliang had broken Beisen’s rules time and again, and what worried her was that her fifth uncle might repeatedly take that damned girl’s side.

The roaring of the motorcycle abruptly ceased. Ye Jiuliang planted her long legs on the ground and lifted her hand to remove her helmet, revealing her exquisite face in the sunlight.

After parking her bike, she pulled out the key, her icy eyes sweeping over the gathering crowd as she lifted the corners of her mouth into a cool, thin smile.

"Ye student." Hearing that Ye Jiuliang had returned to school, Xu Li hurried over.

Pushing through the crowd, he was shocked to see the motorcycle next to Ye Jiuliang.

Quickly regaining his composure, he spoke in a gentle voice, "Ye student, I have good news to tell you. You ranked first in the grade on this exam." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

As he spoke, the expressions of those around him varied, with many voicing their doubts.

"First place? She must have cheated."

"A failing transfer student suddenly scores full marks? Impossible."

"Exactly, it’s very likely she used some shady means to score full marks this time."

"On the day of the exam, Ye Jiuliang almost arrived late and slept through the whole thing until she only started to write towards the end, managing a perfect score in just over ten minutes—tell that to the ghosts."

The discussion grew increasingly unpleasant to hear, and Li Jingxuan hooked her lips in satisfaction. This was the effect she had wanted.

Xu Li looked towards Ye Jiuliang, somewhat embarrassed, and turned to the other students to instruct them, "Ye student’s exam results were achieved by her own ability. Please don’t arbitrarily cast suspicion and wrong Ye student."

Although he too was surprised that Ye Jiuliang scored full marks, the exam papers were absolutely sealed and there was no possibility of a leak. Furthermore, he was the invigilator that day, so he knew better than anyone else whether Ye Jiuliang had cheated or not.

His words only seemed to increase the volume of the discussion.

Xu Li’s face showed his difficulty and he felt powerless.

"Heh."

A cold laugh dispersed, freezing the surrounding air.

Ye Jiuliang’s gaze lifted slightly, a trace of cold contempt rippling through her eyes, "Those who dare accuse me of cheating, step forward."

Suddenly, the scene fell deathly silent.

People looked at each other, shoving and pushing, but no one stood up.

"Ye Jiuliang, what evidence do you have to prove you didn’t cheat? Your grades were so poor before, not even reaching the passing mark, and now within less than a month, you score full marks. Do you think anyone would believe you?"

The speaker was someone who often followed Li Jingxuan around, influenced by her proximity. The woman’s tone bore some resemblance to Li Jingxuan’s.

Once one person stood up, a second and a third followed...

"Yeah, Ye Jiuliang, show us the evidence."

"Show us the proof that you earned that full score with your ability, or we won’t believe you."

"Cheaters don’t deserve to stay at Beisen, they don’t deserve..."

...

Various unpleasant remarks kept being made, but Ye Jiuliang remained as indifferent as ever, her icy gaze falling on the loudest few.

Her luscious lips parted, only to be preempted by a low, mellow voice, "Who said she cheated?"

Despite the surrounding clamor, that distinctively magnetic voice clearly reached her ears.

Her slender frame stiffened, and Ye Jiuliang felt unexpectedly nervous.

The crowd parted, she lifted her gaze, and there he was at the opposite end, the man walking slowly towards her, his glass-like dark eyes shimmering with unfathomable hints of darkness.

Their eyes met in midair for just a second before Ye Jiuliang averted her gaze, the faint smile on her lips completely disappearing.

"Fifth Master."

Seeing Li Mochan arrive, Xu Li quickly stepped forward with a respectful expression.

The others, upon seeing Li Mochan, dared not act rashly and quickly stepped aside. Li Jingxuan, upon witnessing this, had a slight look of dissatisfaction on her face.

One step, two steps...

The steady footsteps suddenly stopped as Li Mochan lowered his gaze to the girl in front of him, his affectionate look intoxicating.

Noticing the faint shadows under her eyelids, Li Mochan asked in a low voice, "Didn’t you sleep well last night?"

If it weren’t for what happened yesterday, perhaps she would have boldly teased him right there, but now...

Ye Jiuliang reined in her wandering thoughts and took a step back, her tone carrying a distance, "I can handle this matter myself, so there’s no need to trouble Li Fifth Master with this."

Her detached words erected an invisible iron wall between her and him, causing Li Mochan’s eyes to suddenly darken.

"Ye Jiuliang," he said in a lowered voice, tinged with suppressed anger.

Was she this eager to distance herself from him after just one night?

Feeling rather under the weather with a heavy cold, Ye Jiuliang’s head throbbed painfully. Not in the mood to argue with him, she sidestepped him and walked up to the group that had been the loudest moments ago.

"What, what do you want to do?" The girl standing beside Li Jingxuan panicked when she saw Ye Jiuliang approaching, her strong presence so oppressive the girl hardly dared to breathe, instantly wilting.

Ye Jiuliang hooked her lips into a cold smile and suddenly made her move, her slender fingers gripping the collar of the speaking girl and effortlessly lifting her to the front.

"Ah—," the girl whose collar was grabbed cried out in panic.

The crowd watched, speechless, their breathing involuntarily slowing.

With one hand clutching the girl’s collar and the other in her pocket, Ye Jiuliang’s exquisite eyes were full of ferocity,

"Getting a perfect score is my own business. Does it bother you that much? Do you really think this display is to condemn me?"

The color drained from the onlookers’ faces, and the chilly voice rang out again, "Do you really think so highly of yourself?"

Li Jingxuan clenched her fists, her eyes sneaking a glance in Li Mochan’s direction. His deep black eyes were fixedly watching Ye Jiuliang’s figure from behind.

In those usually cold eyes, there was a hint of tenderness.

Li Jingxuan was startled, suddenly formulating a daring speculation.

Could it be...

No, it couldn’t be, it was impossible—she shook her head hard.

Ye Jiuliang was just a young girl with hardly any worldly experience; how could Uncle Five possibly take notice of her.

It must have been her illusion, just now.

"Whether I decide to fail or get a perfect score is up to my mood. If you all want me to provide evidence, it’s not impossible, unless..." Ye Jiuliang’s voice trailed off, a bloodthirsty curve forming at the corner of her lips.

"Everyone who claims I cheated, stand out. I will prove that my perfect score was earned through my own ability, and all those who slandered me will write a ten-thousand-word self-criticism for me."

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned.

A self-criticism?

"Well, do you agree or not?" Ye Jiuliang asked coldly.

"I agree," Li Jingxuan was the first to stand out.

She refused to believe that Ye Jiuliang had such a great ability. Ye Xin had said that when Ye Jiuliang was studying abroad, she failed every subject; how could she possibly become a top student in such a short time?

"I agree too," the girl whom Ye Jiuliang had grabbed quickly echoed.

"I, I also agree."

"And me..."

One after another, many people joined in. After all, the image of Ye Jiuliang always sleeping during class had left a deep impression. Moreover, the difficulty of this particular test was truly extraordinary; a perfect score seemed nearly impossible. Therefore, they were even more incredulous that Ye Jiuliang’s perfect score had been achieved through her own ability.
