“What’s going on?”
“What does the teacher mean?”
Unease filled everyone’s heart as they murmured in hushed voices. Just then, someone incredulously exclaimed, “Sun Yunyun’s scores aren’t high! She’s not even as high as Di Juan’s!”
“This is impossible.” Sun Yunyun screamed. She no longer pretended to be weak. She pushed the class monitor away roughly unceremoniously and rushed to the front of the bulletin board. Subconsciously, she looked for her name from the first row according to the previous order.
This was because her name had always been ranked first in the previous
exams.
But it wasn’t her!
Sun Yunyun’s face turned pale, and her body trembled like a sieve. Cold sweat covered her face. She looked down unwillingly. It wasn’t her, and it wasn’t her even further down. In the end, the three words Sun Yunyun appeared under Di Juan’s name, which was not in the top ten.
She…She hadn’t been admitted to university? How was this possible? She had dreamt it, she had seen herself as a student of Normal University in her dreams.
Her eyes must have been playing tricks on her. Sun Yunyun, still clinging to hope, looked at the first place again.
It still wasn’t her name.
Fifth sister Su?
Who was Fifth sister Su?
There was no one with that name in the school, yet it felt familiar.
Suddenly, Sun Yunyun turned around and glared at Su Wen and her sisters not far away. She finally understood why Su Wen had come here.
In an instant, an overwhelming wave of resentment, anger, disappointment, and humiliation assaulted her.
“Hahahaha… Didn’t someone bet with me? Come on! Fulfill the bet!” Di Juan had been depressed for three years, and she could finally vent her anger and hold her head high. “Tsk! So you didn’t even get into university!”
“How embarrassing.”
“She’s actually bragging.”
“Most likely, she cheated on all her previous exams. Otherwise, why was she always good on the practice exams but failed when it counted for real?”
“You’re right. I’ve already said that Sun Yunyun’s exam results are fake. You guys never believed me? I have a point. If her exam results are her true ability, why does she stutter every time she is asked a question in class?
“Exactly. It’s often the class monitor who secretly gives her hints.”
Everyone looked at Su Wen with a strange gaze and dug up old scores. Not to mention many girls who had long been unhappy with her, even some boys who had fallen head over heels for her and had been charmed by her were now blushing and couldn’t bring themselves to say a word.
The class monitor turned around and ran away in shame. He didn’t even look at his score.
Sun Yunyun couldn’t stay any longer. Even though she was thick-skinned and had a strong mentality, she was extremely embarrassed at this moment. Not to mention the lost bet with Di Juan. She had been so confident, hoping to make some money from Di Juan, but now it was all gone.
Sun Yunyun struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and ran away.
Clear Water County had gained fame, enormous fame. It was even known nationwide. This small county with a rather unremarkable geographical location. It had never been eye-catching. Not to mention the country, even in the province, few people knew about it.
However, now Clear Water County has become the topic of everyone’s discussion.
It suddenly burst into the limelight.
Ever since the national college entrance examination was reinstated, not a single student in Clear Water County had been admitted to university. But now, Clear Water County has astounded everyone, not just passing the exams but achieving remarkable results that stunned the world.
Boundless glory.
Even the people of Clear Water County walked the streets with pride, let alone Trinity village. Whether visiting relatives and friends, farming, or going to the market, they would ask if anyone knew the top scorer of the college entrance examination who had made headlines on the radio and newspapers.
He’ll say, “She’s from our village, she has been calling me uncle since young!”
They’ll say, “Do you know that Clear Water County has produced a top scholar?”
She’ll say, “She���s from our village, I’m her auntie.”
They’ll say, “Oh! Do you mean Fifth sister Su? I know, I know. I am her neighbor. She’s been smart since she was young. I’ve long seen that she’s a talent.”
They’ll also say, “What expert said that she was a genius? Will she be rewarded? Full scholarship plus a stipend? Could a single person’s stipend support the entire family? Oh my god, they’re going to be rich this time..”
