Upon hearing this, the crowd was stunned and looked at the boy in disbelief.
“W-What did you say… Full marks? Young Master Jie got full marks?”
“Is that for real?”
“The math questions this time were super difficult, yet he got full marks?”
“What? Who got full marks?” Some students who had just entered the classroom asked.
Pleased with himself, the boy said, “Haha, I said before that Young Master Jie was keeping his ability hidden! You didn’t believe it, so how about now?”
“Um…” This time, someone said in a small voice, “Could it be that… Young Master Jie knew the exam contents beforehand?”
Mu Xiaoxiao shot him a glare immediately.
Han Qiqing laughed coldly, “Are you saying that Yin Shaojie cheated?”
The boy was so frightened he broke out in cold sweat. He hastily denied, “I didn’t say that! I absolutely didn’t say that!”
The other girls were all Yin Shaojie supporters and could not let this slander go.
“What did you say? How dare you say that Young Master Jie cheated! Do you want to die?”
“Humph, how can our Young Master Jie cheat!”
“That’s right, it’s simple enough for Young Master Jie if he wanted to know the exam contents, but he has never cheated. What gives you the right to say that he did this time?”
The boy really wanted to retort how he could have scored full marks if he had not cheated. That was something that normal people would suspect, right? Thus, hypothesizing that Yin Shaojie had cheated was perfectly logical.
However, to those loyal supporters of Young Master Jie, anything logical was nonsense. No one could slander Young Master Jie!
The boy wiped his cold sweat away and said, “Of course, of course, Young Master Jie would never cheat, of course. I was wrong, sorry, sorry, I was wrong.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was very displeased. With Yin Shaojie’s personality, he would never cheat.
Just then, the boy who spilled the facts raised his hands and said, “Young Master Jie did not cheat at all! He’s just been hiding his abilities.”
“Is that for real?” The girls were surprised but suspicious.
“Of course it’s for real!”The boy was pleased. “I saw Young Master Jie’s exam papers in the past. All the questions he answered were correct and the questions he didn’t answer correctly were left blank! He left them blank on purpose.”
“But… Why would Young Master Jie do that? Why would he score badly on purpose?”
“That’s right, I don’t understand why he would do that.”
The boy stuck out a finger and wagged it. “He did it on purpose! I remember seeing Young Master Jie’s exam paper when it was being passed down and accidentally noticed that one of the major questions were unanswered. I asked him why he didn’t answer it because the question was not difficult and the teacher had explained it in class many times. Everyone got the question correct on that exam, but Young Master Jie was the only one who didn’t answer. Do you know what Young Master Jie said to me?”
“What did he say?” The crowd was curious and unconsciously gathered around.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Han Qiqing were also curious and stared at the boy.
“Young Master Jie said…” The boy looked around the room, building suspense before saying, “The problem-solving steps were too long and he was too lazy to write them down.”
The crowd was speechless.
