Director Wang pointed at the questions on the test paper, and sternly said to Liu Chunya, "Liu Chunya, take a close look at these questions on the test paper. Have you seen them before? Did you have them on last semester’s exam?"
"What?" Liu Chunya was startled by Director Wang’s severe tone and quickly picked up the test paper, examining it meticulously.
She hadn’t seen this reading comprehension before, nor had she seen this math problem, or the essay prompt... She was suddenly stunned.
"What on earth is going on here!" Liu Chunya, shaking the test paper in her hands, asked somewhat frantically.
Director Wang snorted coldly, "This is a spare test paper, not the one you took!"
Liu Chunya’s repeated behavior had truly angered him. Only to hear Director Wang snort coldly again, "Do you still question Xia Chuyi’s integrity?"
"Even in Xia Chuyi’s worst subject, mathematics, she’s better than you!"
"Liu Chunya, I think it’s best for you to go back and reflect on yourself! Why did you do so poorly on the exam?"
"Don’t spend all day with your eyes glued to others!"
Director Wang’s scolding was too loud, and everyone at the door heard it.
When school leadership got angry, the onlookers immediately fell silent, exchanging glances with each other. A few seconds later, a teacher came out and told them to leave the corridor and return to their classrooms for self-study.
Soon, it was completely quiet outside the office.
An irate Director Wang, subject teachers with a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes, Xia Chuyi with a calm expression, and the suddenly quiet corridor...
Liu Chunya’s face turned beet red, her fists clenched tightly.
This, this... the people she had brought were supposed to see Xia Chuyi’s embarrassment!
But now... it was all on her!
Biting her lip, Liu Chunya wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Unfortunately, the school didn’t have any holes!
All she could do was glare fiercely at Xia Chuyi a couple of times, blaming her for everything that had happened!
She shouted this angry, embarrassed threat before turning and running away.
Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow: So, she was holding a grudge against her again?
Xia Chuyi really couldn’t be bothered with her, especially since she wouldn’t be returning to school for her studies and was unlikely to run into Liu Chunya very often.
Besides, today’s incident, where Liu Chunya’s attempt to steal a chicken only resulted in losing rice, was punishment enough for her.
Setting aside that matter, she politely asked Director Wang, "Director Wang, I’ve finished my test, and about the matter of being registered for school?"
Director Wang, who was still a bit hesitant and thinking of persuading her again, because of Liu Chunya’s questioning, now hesitated no more and quite generously said, "Fine, I agree to your request for registration."
"Dropping out for a year and being able to self-study to this extent at home, I believe you have sufficient self-discipline to study well even outside of school."
A bit of routine praise.
"Yes, I definitely won’t let the director down!" Although Xia Chuyi knew Director Wang had given her a quick confirmation because he had been irritated by Liu Chunya, she was still happy to have finally achieved her goal.
Seeing her polite manner, Director Wang nodded with satisfaction, "Remember, you must not slack off, or you might end up performing worse than Liu Chunya!"
Haha, Director Wang really couldn’t stand Liu Chunya.
Xia Chuyi’s eyes curved into a smile as she said, "I understand, Director."
Compete with Liu Chunya?
Let alone having the advantage of her space, even without it, with her original capabilities, she could beat Liu Chunya easily!
Having achieved her goal, Xia Chuyi left the school amidst the onlookers’ gazes filled with envy, admiration, or curiosity.
"Hey, do you think Xia Chuyi, going back to self-study, can surpass Liu Chunya in the college entrance exam?"
After exiting the school gates, at some corner of the school, people who heard the whole story and knew both her and Liu Chunya began to talk amongst themselves.
