Chapter 34 Exams

Lately, Xiang Lianyi would go to the Taekwondo dojo with Xiang Qingsong as soon as they get out of class. Slowly, Xiang Qingsong stopped being nervous and also became good friends with Xiao Yi.

After a few days of peaceful life, the school held a major exam. This would be the most important test since the beginning of the school year and everyone was studying very hard.

Xiang Lianyi and Xiang Qingsong stopped going to the dojo so they can study. Every day, they had to study until late at night before going to bed.

This was the first exam since Xiang Lianyi's rebirth. It was very important to her. She had to surprise everyone and complete her transformation from a bad student to one of the best students. If she couldn't do this, then everything she had planned would be impossible to achieve.

When Xiang Lianyi was studying, she would occasionally think of Xi Mufeng. However, around this time, because of the exam, they had barely interacted with each other. She hadn't heard of Xi Mufengeng having any interactions with Mo Zhuyang, either.

What was he doing?

Was he going over his schoolwork like her?

Or was he together with Mo Zhuyang?

Xiang Lianyi tossed her hair back and decided not to think about it anymore. Perhaps she could wait until the exams were over and go talk to Xi Mufeng to find out what was wrong.

Around this time, Xi Mufeng was not studying at all. For him, those things in the textbook are too simple. He was on the Internet at home and found online a website called Taobao. He thought this website is very suitable for Xiang Lianyi's family. So he was studying the website instead.

In the examination room, Xiang Lianyi was very concentrated on her test. She wanted to see if her hard work had paid off.

On the other side, Xi Mufeng, who used to never show up for exams, actually took the exam, which surprised the teachers who were proctoring the exam. However, they thought Xi Mufeng just showed up for the fun of it and wasn't taking the exam seriously. They didn't think his test would be all that surprising.

However, the surprise came quickly!

When the teachers finished grading the exam papers, all of them became extremely surprised by the result. The first place was actually Xi Mufeng!

This guy who usually doesn't even take tests!

Although there was no evidence to prove that he was a bad student, the fact that he would often skip classes was known to everyone. And even when he was in class, he didn't necessarily listen to what the teachers were saying.

How could such a person actually achieve the highest score in his class?

Who would believe it if they hear about it?

The teacher who proctored Xi Mufeng's exam was the first to speak up. "I've been watching him the entire time, and Xi Mufeng didn't cheat. Even if we take a step back and say he did cheat, who can cheat their way to top mark?"

The other teachers nodded their heads.

Yes, how could someone cheat their way to top mark?

But to say that Xi Mufeng had scored this well all on his own, they could not believe that, either.

Suddenly, one of the female teachers said, "Could it be that our test questions were leaked ahead of time? And he found out?"

As if they finally found a convincing reason, everyone chimed in, "Sure, maybe, but what evidence do we have to prove it?"

"What more proof do you need? Do you really think he managed to get this grade himself?"

"But..."

The discussion went on and on, but it was the dean of students who finally came out and said, "Since there is no evidence, we cannot just accuse a student of something like this. Let's do this. Xi Mufeng's homeroom teacher will talk to him about it. If he can tell us how he did this, that is for the best. If not, then we will think of something else."

Ximu Feng's class teacher was a female teacher. She said, slightly hesitantly, "Alright." In reality, she was very conflicted about Xi Mufeng. Even though he rarely shows up to school, he wouldn't cause any trouble when he was there. If there were students who were disrupting order, he would even help stop them. Another thing was his family...

Anyway, in the eyes of his homeroom teacher, Xi Mufeng was a special case who didn't need to be bothered by her and wouldn't cause her any trouble.

But who knew, he usually didn't cause trouble, but this time, it was a major incident!

She felt like she was starting to get a headache.

In the office, she tactfully said to Xi Mufeng, "Xi Mufeng, do you know how much you got on your exam?"

Xi Mufeng raised an eyebrow at the news.

What did she mean?

He didn't do well on the exam? It shouldn't be!

Xi Mufeng's grades were unbelievable.

The homeroom teacher usually didn't care much about him, but she was also a little fidgety as she was talking to him. She did not have any evidence to prove that Xi Mufeng had cheated on his exam, but the dean of students had insisted on her talking to him and that made her feel very conflicted.

Only after a long while did she politely say, "Xi Mufeng, the teachers think your grades are... achieved through problematic means. Can you explain it?"

Xi Mufeng was wondering why the teacher was so strange since he came in. When he heard her question, he came to a sudden realization.

The corners of his mouth lifted in a mocking smile. "Explain what? Do you think there are problems with my grades? What's the problem?"

"It's..."

"I'd like to ask what my grades are,"

"You got the top mark."

"Top mark? How do yo think I achieve it?"

Faced with Xi Mufeng's sharp question, the teacher was a little embarrassed. But before she could speak, another teacher came in through the door. He was the deputy director of Xi Mufeng's grade. Right now, he was looking at Xi Mufeng seriously and said, "Mr. Xi, your usual attitude towards studying is obvious to everyone. I believe you know well how you got the top mark, and it's better if you tell me how you did it yourself."

"What do you want me to say?" Xi Mufeng's tone was beginning to sound impatient.

"Say what? How did you get your grades? We've looked into it, and you certainly didn't copy from anyone. Of course, we suspect you couldn't get the top mark if that was the case. You must have gotten the test questions in advance and now you just need to tell us exactly how you got them." The deputy director said with a profoundly righteous look as if he was the embodiment of justice.

Xi Mufeng laughed out loud. "I didn't cheat, whether you believe it or not if up to you." He didn't care at all and left after saying this.

The deputy director was furious behind him. "What kind of attitude is that? You come back here right now!"

Good things are rarely known, but bad things can spread far and wide.

The grades were announced anyways, and Xi Mufeng's grades were removed. It was as if he didn't even take this exam at all.
