Chapter 64 An Shixia Cheating on the Exam

"I picked some flowers. I passed by a rose garden this morning and, knowing you like them, I went down and picked a few. I was planning to surprise you."

Yan Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he hadn't thrown away the remaining roses. He had to be more careful next time, or he wouldn't have any excuse.

"Roses? You picked roses for me?"

An Shixia was pleasantly surprised.

"Well, I only picked the flowers. I wanted to wrap them up myself before giving them to you, but I didn't expect you to find out so quickly."

"Then I can pretend I don't know. Oh, Brother Yu, why are there mud spots on you?"

An Shixia blinked, feigning surprise.

Yan Lingyu really wanted to free one hand to pinch her cheek, but he was driving and didn't want to put An Shixia in danger because of a single action.

Even if the probability of getting into danger is so low as to be almost nonexistent.

The courses have all ended, and the next week is filled with exams, so it won't be too busy.

Shen Tongtong was holding a calculus book, cramming at the last minute.

She encountered a problem that she just couldn't solve, and she was so anxious that she scratched her head and exclaimed, "Ahhhhh, the wind is howling and the Yi River is cold, I'm doing advanced calculus and my brain is blank!"

An Shixia turned and glanced at her: "What don't you know?"

Shen Tongtong quickly pushed the book in front of her and pointed with her pen to the question that had been troubling her for so long.

Shen Tongtong's grades were not bad, but advanced mathematics was her weak subject. She never scored above 90 out of 100.

An Shixia wrote down the solution and handed it to Shen Tongtong.

"This question is just a formula; all questions of this type use the same formula. Turn to chapter five in your book and memorize the formula."

Although the process of finding the right company might be a bit complicated and requires going back and forth, you'll get used to it after doing a few more questions.

Shen Tongtong started flipping through the book: "Sometimes I really wonder if you have the answers in your head, how come you know everything?"

An Shixia shook her head, feigning seriousness: "It's not that I stumbled upon the answer, it's that my mind is full of answers."

Shen Tongtong wailed, "I'm going to fight you to the death!"

An Shixia covered her ears: "The advanced mathematics exam is this afternoon, and this formula is very likely to be on the test. If you don't look at it now, it might be too late."

Shen Tongtong disregarded everything else and began to work on the formula.

This time, she received guidance from An Shixia in advanced mathematics. If she doesn't score above 90, it would be a huge disappointment for her.

Let's give it our all!

When the two left the study room, Shen Tongtong casually threw all the draft papers into the trash can.

The exam seating numbers had already been assigned, and the counselor sent them directly to the class group. An Shixia and Shen Tongtong were not in the same exam room, but she was assigned to Jiang Zhiyao.

There were two proctors in each exam room, both from the School of Foreign Languages. An Shixia had taken their classes before.

Fifteen minutes before the exam, the invigilator begins to show the sealed exam papers, and five minutes before the exam, the exam papers begin to be distributed to the candidates.

An Shixia immediately flipped through the later, more challenging questions, and when she saw the last one, she breathed a sigh of relief—she had guessed correctly.

When the exam bell rang, everyone picked up their pens and started working on the questions.

An Shixia is always quick at answering questions and can hand in her exam paper half an hour early. After checking that there were no problems, she prepared to raise her hand.

Others in the exam room could see that she had finished writing a long time ago, and they felt panicked looking at the blank space left on her paper.

An Shixia had only raised her hand halfway when Jiang Zhiyao, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly stood up.

"Teacher, I'm reporting An Shixia for cheating."

What a familiar scene, exactly the same as the day An Shixia reported her.

An Shixia remained calm and neatly placed the test paper aside: "What evidence do you have?"

One of the proctors walked over and looked at Jiang Zhiyao: "Where did you cheat?"

Jiang Zhiyao wanted to walk over, but the teacher stopped her: "Student, please sit down first. This is the examination room. Do not move around."

Jiang Zhiyao pursed her lips, but still sat down: "I just saw her take a note and stuff it into the crack of the table, right here."

Jiang Zhiyao gestured to indicate the approximate location of her desk, a victorious smile playing on her lips.

The proctor looked at An Shixia: "May I check your work?"

An Shixia cooperated by leaning back slightly to make it easier for the teacher to check.

The proctor felt around a few times and actually pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper.

She opened it and couldn't help but frown.

Although she didn't teach advanced mathematics, she had received higher education and naturally understood that this question was similar in nature to the last one.

Ke Anshi knew that even if she was excellent in elective courses, how could she have cheated?

Just then, the proctor passed by, saw the scene, and walked straight in: "What happened?"

Another proctor gave a brief explanation, then reached out to see the cheat sheet: "Let me see the cheat sheet."

Before anything was even confirmed, the proctor had already identified the note as a cheat sheet. An Shixia frowned: "Teacher, what evidence do you have that this is a cheat sheet?"

The proctor slammed the note on An Shixia's desk: "The solution to this question is exactly the same as the last big question. What else could this be but a cheat sheet?"

The proctor actually knew An Shixia, after all, she was a popular figure at the school, but she just couldn't stand An Shixia.

A girl with a seductive face follows a boy around every day, as if she can't live without a man. She's shameless.

Students should be conscientious and focused on their studies.

"Then what proof do you have that I copied it? There are two surveillance cameras in the classroom, aren't you going to investigate them?"

An Shixia remained composed and responded directly to her.

The proctor standing next to her also spoke up for An Shixia: "Director, I think there is a misunderstanding. An Shixia is an excellent student in both character and academics. I believe she would not do such a thing."

The proctor snorted, then glanced at the handwriting on the slip of paper and compared it with An Shixia's answer sheet. As if he had obtained some evidence, he said, "Even the handwriting is the same. You still say you didn't cheat?"

An Shixia didn't understand why she was targeting her right away: "I don't even know what's written on that note, let alone plagiarized it."

The proctor shoved the note in front of An Shixia: "You can't possibly not recognize your own handwriting, can you?"

An Shixia understood at a glance.

This is the draft paper I used to write the answers for Shen Tongtong at noon.

She remembered that Shen Tongtong had already thrown away the draft paper, so how did she end up here?

Her brief silence led the proctor to believe she was speechless, and he reached out to collect An Shixia's answer sheet: "In that case, your exam score is invalid. You'll have to take a makeup exam."

The proctor was getting anxious: "Director, we haven't reviewed the surveillance footage yet, and the nature of this matter hasn't been determined. We can't just wrongly accuse a student like this."

"Innocent? The evidence is right here. How could I have wronged her? Or are you saying you were involved in her cheating?"
