Chapter 36 Apology

"I think that's about right, but if he didn't have the confidence, why would he agree to take the test in public?"

"That's right."

........

The discussion among the students is getting louder and louder. It wasn't their fault for being so interested. This kind of thing is the first time in the history at the Third High School. They feel that if the school really let Xi Mufeng prove himself, it would be a slap in the face that will go down in history.

"Students, be quiet!" The dean of students' voice was heard from the loudspeaker.

All the students quieted down. They were quietly watching Xi Mufeng answer the questions.

He sat alone in the center of the turf, surrounded by teachers and classmates with similar watchful eyes. However, he still looked very calm, as if he wouldn't have reacted so strongly if it wasn't for Xi Mingyu's appearance.

Time passed by minute by minute.

XI Mufeng put down his pen!

The assistant director first went over and picked up the test. He looked at it carefully for a moment, then passed it to the other teachers with a pale face. He was mumbling to himself, "No, that's impossible! I don't believe it!"

The principal also wore a sour expression. He snorted heavily and said to the dean of students, "Is this the student you suspect?" After saying that, he couldn't stay there any longer, so he turned around and left.

The dean of students was also full of incredulity. Only after a long while did he slumped his shoulders and announced, "Pupil Xi had earned a full mark on this test."

The crowd that gathered on the turf paused for about two seconds.

Then cheers and shouts began to erupt from the crowd.

"Godlike!"

"Awesome!"

"What a king!"

........

All sorts of exclamations and praises poured out of the students.

The dean of students continued with a grey face, "Due to the school mistreating Pupil Xi during this test, I apologize to him and his original test scores will be restored."

After he finished speaking and apologizing, he walked over to Xi Mingyu. "I apologize for our mistakes, Mr. Xi. It seems that your son is a prodigy and it is the school's fault for making such a big deal out of this misunderstanding..."

Xi Mingyu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's fine, it's fine. I didn't expect this boy of mine to be so smart. It seems like he is good at hiding that normally."

He gave Xi Mufeng a long, meaningful look.

The dean of students didn't think that Xi Mingyu was so easy to talk to. His ashen expression relaxed a little bit. He was afraid that Xi Mufeng's parents would make a big deal out of this, especially since the Xi family had such high social standing. Now it seems like Xi Mingyu did not plan on making a scene and he felt he could relax a little.

Xi Mufeng had managed to turn his reputation of being a bad student into being a prodigy. However, he only did it to prove himself to Xi Mingyu. But now, he felt like it was all for nothing, since Xi Mingyu looked like he did not even care.

The students on the turf were all taken back to their classrooms by their homeroom teachers.

Wu Wenli was also among them. These days, she was also studying for her exams. Her grades were fairly good before she dropped out of school, but now, it was hard for her to catch up because of all the time she had missed.

But that didn't affect her attraction to Xi Mufeng. When she was watching this cool boy in the turf proving everyone wrong and winning everyone's heart, she couldn't help but to feel something for him. Her attraction to him only grew stronger.

She is not the only one who has this thought. Mo Zhuyang, who was standing next to Xi Mingyu, has long been unable to restrain her heart's desire. "Uncle Xi, look! I knew that Mufeng did not cheat on his test!"

"Haha, it seems like you know him well, Yangyang," Xi Mingyu laughed and said.

"No, it's not that, Uncle Xi." Mo Zhuyang blushed at his words. She thought f Xiang Lianyi and thought it was a shame she wasn't here. If she knew how highly the Xi family regards Mo Zhuyang, surely she would back off!

She didn't know where Xiang Lianyi got the confidence to think she can raise her social status by seducing Xi Mufeng.

Just as she was thinking about Xiang Lianyi, Xiang Lianyi was checking her own grades. Actually, her grades had improved a lot this time as well, but because of the event with Xi Mufeng, no one had noticed.

She was quite satisfied with her grades this time. With a much smarter mind than her previous life, she could finally realize her dreams in this life!

"Wow, Lianyi, you've got good grades! I didn't expect to see you improve so much after one summer!" Li Tiantian exclaimed in awe.

"It's not bad. Tiantian, we're seniors, and you're going to have to work hard to live the life you want in the future." She smiled and said to Li Tiantian.

"Lianyi, it's a little strange to me that you are suddenly working so hard. But you're right. We should work hard together," Li Tiantian said to Xiang Lianyi with a smile, her hands balled into fists.

The exams were also over, and Xiang Lianyi wondered how she should approach Xi Mufeng.

She didn't like the state they were in right now, but if she went to him first, would he think she was desperate?

She wanted to put it off for a while more and see if Xi Mufeng would come to her.

When she finally had time after her exams, she brought Xiang Qingsong back to the Taekwondo dojo.

The owner of the dojo was practicing against someone and looked very serious.

The other students are standing on the side and the atmosphere was very tense. Even Xiaoyi, who was normally always smiling, looked nervous.

The siblings looked at each other, then quietly walked to the students. Xiang Lianyi asked one of them in a hushed voice, "What happened?"

”The owner and the other guy studied under the same teacher. He would come and challenge the owner every year. Now that you're here, watch carefully. You don't get these kinds of opportunities every day," Xiaohui explained to Xiang Lianyi quietly.

"The owner is going to win." Ouyang said coldly, staring at the two.

Xiang Lianyi saw that the owner of the dojo and the man opposite him were both incredibly swift in their moves. The two of them were engaged in an intense match. At Xiang Lianyi's level, she could not understand their moves, but still she watched them very carefully.
