Ye Qingran was calm and composed, completely ignoring Mu Qingxue.
Whether she did well in the exam or not, whether her score would be shameful, there was no need to talk about it with irrelevant people.
The invigilator stood on the stage, handing out the exam papers and emphasizing instructions at the same time.
They were only allowed to leave the exam venue 45 minutes after the start of the exam. They were not allowed to cheat in the exam, and if they were caught, they would be punished. They were also not allowed to go to the bathroom or anywhere else in the middle of the exam.
After Ye Qingran received the exam paper, she looked at the questions, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile.
Because these questions were not very difficult.
But the other students all frowned.
The classroom was very quiet, and only the rustling of pens could be heard.
There were not many questions, and in this kind of competition, they were all tricky big questions.
If they could write, they would be able to finish the exam paper very quickly.
Therefore, Ye Qingran did not feel any pressure. She quickly wrote down the answers to all the questions.
After she finished writing, she checked again.
It was still early. It was not the time for her to leave the examination room.
Ye Qingran was a little bored. She held her chin with one hand and spun the pen with the other.
Mu Qingxue, who was beside her, glanced at Ye Qingran and sneered.
As expected, she did not know how to do the questions and was just here to fool around.
Mu Qingxue continued to write the questions and realized that Ye Qingran was still maintaining the same posture and was still looking at her.
She was suddenly a little angry.
She only felt that Ye Qingran did it on purpose. She could not do the questions, so she came to disturb her so that she could not concentrate on working through the questions.
Mu Qingxue could not calm down.
Ye Qingran deliberately set her up so that she could not survive in the entertainment industry.
She wanted to study hard, but Ye Qingran deliberately disturbed her. This Ye Qingran was really the most vicious person in the world that she had ever met.
At this moment, her hatred for Ye Qingran had reached a new high point.
She felt that if she did not do something, she would definitely be harmed by Ye Qingran.
She looked at Ye Qingran angrily with resentment.
Ye Qingran noticed her gaze and subconsciously looked at her with a cold and frosty gaze.
Mu Qingxue and Ye Qingran looked at each other coldly and did not back down at all.
She glanced at the invigilator who was getting closer and closer to them.
Suddenly, Mu Qingxue had an idea. It was a little trick that could make Ye Qingran stay away from her and not disturb her during the examination.
“Ye Qingran, I won’t copy it for you,” Mu Qingxue suddenly said.
Her voice was very, very soft, as if she was whispering. After saying that, she turned her head away.
However, this small voice was heard by the invigilator who was walking over.
The invigilator immediately looked at them. “What are you doing?”
The students who heard it were also shocked.
Someone actually cheated in this kind of math competition? Wasn’t it the case that the best students of the entire school were selected?
Ye Qingran was speechless.
What the hell?
This Mu Qingxue was really the female lead. Even if she was taking revenge line and did not get along with her, could she at least have some standards?
Did she even know, under such circumstances, how serious the consequences would be if she was accused of plagiarism?
Mu Qingxue’s face turned pale when she saw the invigilator. She immediately expressed that she was pure and did not collude with her. “Teacher, it’s none of my business. I’ve been writing the questions diligently and I won’t help anyone cheat.”
The other students stopped writing the questions and stared at them.
The invigilator’s face was dark as he looked at Ye Qingran sternly. “It’s a competition, and you actually cheated? !”
Ye Qingran stared at Mu Qingxue with a half-smile on her face. The corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile.
She said to the invigilator sincerely, “Teacher, I didn’t cheat. She’s spouting nonsense.”
The invigilator looked at Mu Qingxue inquisitively.
Mu Qingxue immediately said aggrievedly, “He kept looking at me and looking at my papers. It’s obvious she wants me to copy them for her.”
The invigilator looked at the two examinees’ papers and his expression became a little strange.
Soon, he regained his composure.
He first looked at Ye Qingran with admiration and passed the papers back to her.
Then, he passed the papers to Mu Qingxue and warned her with a solemn face, “Write the questions properly and don’t look around.”
The other examinees: “…”
Mu Qingxue: “…”
What was going on with the invigilator?
After reading the exam paper, not only did he not punish Ye Qingran, he even warned Mu Qingxue.
Mu Qingxue felt wronged.
It was clearly Ye Qingran who cheated, why did the invigilator still scold her?
Could it be that this invigilator was also bribed by the Ye family?
Mu Qingxue said indignantly, “Teacher, she really kept staring at my exam paper and deliberately disturbed my exam.”
The invigilator looked at her and frowned. “Even if this student was staring in your direction, she did not copy you. The way you solve the questions is completely different. More importantly, she has already finished writing while you have only written half of it.”
Mu Qingxue was surprised. “Finished? How is that possible?”
Ye Qingran looked at her mockingly.
She stood up and asked with a smile, “Teacher, it’s already been forty-five minutes. Can I hand in my papers now?”
The invigilator nodded.
He and the other invigilator took Ye Qingran’s papers and looked at them. The corners of their lips curled up into a smile.
Mu Qingxue was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
She told herself not to be angry as the exam was still ongoing.
All of this was definitely done on purpose by Ye Qingran. She wanted to disrupt her emotions so that she would not be able to write the questions properly.
She definitely could not let Ye Qingran get what she wanted. She had to get a higher score.
The mathematics teacher was waiting for them outside when he saw Ye Qingran come out so early.
He quickly asked her how the exam was going and why she came out so early. He said that she should check it a few more times if she had time.
Ye Qingran smiled and said, “It should be pretty good. Teacher, don’t worry.”
How could I be at ease, the teacher thought, unable to speak.
After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. The exam was over. There was no point in talking about it anymore. He had already given instructions before the exam. Now, everything could only be left to fate.
The other examinees came out one after another.
Ye Qingran and Mu Qingxue were the only ones from South Middle School in the exam hall. Hence, the teachers and other students did not know what had happened in the exam hall.
Many people were not convinced that Ye Qingran could participate in the mathematics competition this time.
On the school website, of course, there were not a lot of complaints and curses.
Just like before, someone posted a vote to guess which rank Ye Qingran could get in the competition.
The number of votes in the 100th place was the highest.
It was like teasing and mocking.
A week later, the results of the competition were out.
When the mathematics teacher saw that Ye Qingran got first place in the report, he could not believe it at all. He rubbed his eyes several times and finally asked the teacher next door to help take a look.
The criteria for judging the answers in mathematics and Chinese were different. There were many ways to solve mathematics problems.
At that time, he felt that Ye Qingran was a talented person who had her own unique solution method.
But he never thought that Ye Qingran could get first place.
The whole school was in a sensation..
But no one had ever thought that Ye Qingran could actually get first place.
