As a teacher, it was already shocking enough for Qiao Xi to take the test with the students, yet she even handed in her paper so soon after the test began? Could it be that she was here to put on a show?
When some of them heard about the bet between Qiao Xi and Wang Qing, they all felt that Qiao Xi was under too much pressure and was mentally unstable. Qiao Xi did not know what the students in the hall were talking about behind her back. After she left the hall, she went straight to the materials room of Li City University. Previously, Gu Zheng had agreed to let her read the materials, but she never had the time. Now that she was finally free, she would go there.
She mainly wanted to look up information from 20 years ago, but she did not expect there to be zero information from 20 years…
How strange. Were that person and organization so mysterious? They could even erase such confidential information? Qiao Xi looked at the empty file box and pondered for a moment before turning to leave.
The news that she had gone to the materials room was immediately relayed to Gu Zheng. He looked at the news on his phone and his handsome face darkened slightly. Why was Qiao Xi looking up information from 20 years ago?
…
The next morning, Qiao Xi walked into the classroom while holding the breakfast the chef had handed her before he left.
Before she stepped into the classroom, she heard Wang Qing’s arrogant laughter. “Hahaha, where’s Qiao Xi? Why isn’t she here yet? She’s too embarrassed to come, right?”
After the test yesterday, she found out that Qiao Xi had taken the test as well and even handed in her paper before time was up. This was truly too delightful. Even though it would feel good to win a bet with Qiao Xi’s students, how could it be as satisfying as stepping on Qiao Xi’s toes?
“Qing Qing, don’t be like this. My sister must be quite sad now. Let’s leave first, okay?” This voice belonged to Qiao Rou, that two-faced b*tch.
“Yeah, she really should be sad. She must have had a hard time pretending, right? I don’t know who gave her the confidence to dare take the test. Could it be that she didn’t know the university had adjusted the difficulty of the test for the sake of the international competition this time? A piece of trash like Qiao Xi probably can’t even understand the questions, right?”
Qiao Rou sighed and looked troubled. “Qing Qing, I know that my sister is bound to lose this time, but can you not have her kneel down to you on my account? She’s my sister, after all…”
Wang Qing was just about to ask why, but before she could say anything, she saw Qiao Xi lazily leaning against the door and occasionally taking a bite of the sandwich in her hand. Her posture was very leisurely. She did not look nervous at all.
Wang Qing felt that something was wrong, but when she thought about it carefully, Qiao Xi was probably forcing herself. She wanted to save her dignity. The test this time was very difficult, and there were some things that even she did not know. After the test ended, she even felt that there was not enough time.
Qiao Xi must have failed to finish the paper before handing it in. She probably gave up after glancing at it. When Wang Qing thought about it, she laughed mockingly. “Oh, you still dare to come? I thought you ran away.”
Qiao Xi did not even look at her as she tossed the sandwich bag into the trash can. She clapped her hands and walked into the classroom. A clever student stood up to give up her seat.
Qiao Rou walked over with a gentle smile. “Sister, I took leave yesterday and didn’t come to university. I missed the test and didn’t stop you from competing with Qing Qing in time. The results are out now… It’s okay, it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. I’ll always support you.”
The students watching all thought that Qiao Rou was the best sister in the world.
Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “Didn’t you know about the competition? Wasn’t it all thanks to you that I was able to take the test?”
Qiao Rou’s expression froze. How did Qiao Xi know… Could it be that the dean had let it slip? However, it did not matter. She just had to deny it. After all, her classmates would believe her.
Thinking about this, Qiao Rou’s expression returned to normal. She bit her lip and felt a little aggrieved. “Sister, how can you say that? How would I have pushed you into a fire pit? I admit that I did tell the dean that you’re the same age as me and can try to take the test, but it was just a recommendation. If you hadn’t overestimated yourself and agreed, my recommendation would have been useless.
“I know that you didn’t do well in the test this time and you’re upset, but you can’t vent your anger out on me. I’ve always supported your decision. And because Qing Qing and I are good friends, I told her that she shouldn’t ask you to kneel and apologize even if you lost…”
Wang Qing quickly said, “Wait, I didn’t agree to that.”
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Qiao Xi. “You were the one who said that we have to admit our loss. You can’t go back on your word because of Qiao Rou. Let me tell you, if you lose, you have to kneel and apologize. Do you hear me?!”
