n“No, impossible!”

nHu Jiaqian put down her pen immediately, got up, and rushed over. She grabbed Lu An’s paper and started reading.

nThat absolutely neat and concise essay was a major question that she had temporarily skipped over. After reading Lu An’s answer, Hu Jiaqian felt like she had been enlightened.

nInstantly, shame, anger, and bitterness welled up. Hu Jiaqian clenched her fists and shouted in disbelief, “I don’t believe it!

n“You gave her the answers, and you deliberately made me lose!”

n“Er…”

nEveryone was stunned, including the teachers. They didn’t know what to say.

nAs the saying went, if one was willing to bet, one had to be willing to admit defeat; there was no need to say anything else.

nIt was still Lu An who said, “Fine, just take it that the teachers gave me the answer. This round doesn’t count. Let’s use your test paper then.

n“As a Year 3 exam candidate, you should have a lot of practice papers for the college entrance exam, right? Or, if you don’t have any, you can borrow one from a classmate you trust. That way, it’s impossible that I would have seen the paper beforehand, right?

n“We’ll use that test paper, and use the results from that to determine the final outcome. What do you think?”

nThe little girl smiled slightly and wasn’t afraid at all.

nShe had always been like this. Either she didn’t do it, or she went all the way to convince everyone.

nSince Hu Jiaqian wasn’t convinced, Lu An didn’t mind playing with her for a while longer; she was bored, anyway.

n“You…”

nHu Jia’s face was ashen. She gritted her teeth and endured it. After a long while, she finally said, “Wait here, I’ll go and find one right now!”

nWith that, Hu Jiaqian turned around and went to get a test paper.

n“D*mn, she really is going?”

n“Why do I suddenly feel like looking down on her?”

nThe spectating students were dumbfounded. Many people started to discuss it among themselves. “There was clearly no problem with this test, right?”

n“I saw it when the teachers were marking it just now. The way she solved many of the questions was different from the standard method, and it was even simpler and easier to understand. How could the teachers have given her the answers?”

n“She also didn’t use any draft paper, and directly did the calculations in the corner of the test paper. That logic and reasoning clearly isn’t ordinary. If you have the capability, why don’t you try memorizing the answers in 40 minutes?”

n“Especially math questions. For people who don’t know anything, no matter how many times you memorize them, you still won’t be able to do it, right?”

n“That’s right!”

nMany people started to speak up for Lu An, but there were also more people who supported Hu Jiaqian.

n“Don’t just stand there and talk nonsense!”

n“No normal person, not even the top student in the year, Senior Zhao, can finish the questions so quickly and accurately. If it were you, wouldn’t you be suspicious?”

n“Besides, this is serious and has to do with whether or not she’ll be dropping out of school. To be crushed like this, of course we can’t accept it!”

n“So, you doubt the teachers who came up with the questions, and you doubt the fact that the newbie may be a genius. Is this the only way you can tolerate it?”

n“You… We just want to be sure, alright?”

n“If she still does better than our Sister Qian even with another test paper, we guarantee that we won’t say any more.”

n“Really? When the time comes, don’t come up with a new bottom line!”

nThe two factions were at loggerheads, and kept arguing.

nOn the other side, Lu An went up to little Fifth Brother, who was holding little Ergou. She narrowed her bright eyes and smiled at him. “What do you think? I didn’t embarrass Fifth Brother, right?”

n“It’s… alright.”

nA certain fifth brother felt awkward. He was too embarrassed to look at her. He hesitated, then grabbed the bread he had specially bought and stuffed it into her arms. “Here, this is for you.”
