Why would Shen Mubai send Bai Yan home?

Song Sisi's eyes flickered, and she was about to ask a question when Bai Yan had already gone up to the second floor.

Song Sisi felt rather embarrassed and said, "It's not that I'm targeting you on purpose, it's just that what you did that day went too far. Mom said that as long as you're willing to apologize to Mrs. Wang, she won't make things difficult for you anymore."

The only response Song Sisi received was the sound of Bai Yan closing the door.

"Hmph, tough as a mule. Let's see how long she can keep up that toughness."

Mother Song appeared in the lobby on the first floor at some point and instructed, "Go prepare dinner. Some people are too tough to eat, so there's no need to call them out."

She refused to believe she couldn't cure a little girl!

Bai Yan overheard the conversation outside. There are plenty of ways to get money to speculate on stocks and buy cryptocurrencies, but she doesn't want to leave the Song family for the time being.

In the original storyline, Song Sisi was portrayed as a pure and innocent campus goddess, excelling in both character and academics, and she would have those around her stand up for her.

She also wanted to try this method.

Bai Yan gently curved her lips into a smile.

——

Knowing that the Song family's driver wouldn't pick her up, Bai Yan calculated the time early the next morning and left half an hour earlier.

Sure enough, they ran into an acquaintance on the same road. Uncle Shen smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, get in the car!"

"Xiao Yan, I've noticed you've been walking a lot these past few days. If your car breaks down, I can take you around to Mu Bai during this time. Uncle can give you a ride in the morning."

Bai Yan couldn't have asked for more, but she still pretended to be polite, as is customary: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

"How could that be? You have good grades. Why don't you tutor my Mu Bai in his studies whenever you go to and from school? Just consider it helping your uncle out, okay?" Uncle Chen said, noticing Bai Yan's hesitation.

Bai Yan knew perfectly well that he wanted to help her, so she looked at her uncle Shen Mubai sincerely and said earnestly, "Thank you, Uncle. I will do my best to help Shen Mubai."

There is a weekly test every week in the private room. Shen Mubai has firmly secured the last place, while Bai Yan was the second to last in last week's test.

Today happens to be the weekly test day.

Once in the classroom, Shen Mubai pushed the test paper aside and started sleeping as if no one else was around.

Bai Yan: ……

naughty child.

"Get up, it's time for the exam." She kicked Shen Mubai's chair. Shen Mubai was a little angry, but as soon as he looked up, he met Bai Yan's beautiful and clear eyes, and his anger subsided by half.

"I didn't bring a pen." Before Shen Mubai could finish speaking, Bai Yan tossed him a pen and said, "Answer the questions, or I'll tell your uncle."

Shen Mubai: ...Do you think he's a primary school student, afraid of this?

But for some reason, he actually sat obediently in the chair and started answering the questions.

Song Sisi, who was in the front row, turned around and saw this scene. Her eyes darkened as she turned her head.

The weekly test ended on the afternoon of the second day. Bai Yan took out a blank workbook and summarized the exercises and some simple problem-solving techniques.

Shen Mubai was fast asleep when a workbook was thrown at his face.

"Finish this workbook first, then I'll check your foundation and give you some extra lessons."

Shen Mubai rubbed his messy blond hair, then pointed to his nose, "Me, tutoring?" Does he look like he knows how to tutor?

What if we don't do it?

Bai Yan glanced at him indifferently, "If you don't do it, I'll tell your uncle."

Shen Mubai's lips twitched.

"Good student, you really are like a good student, second to last!"

Bai Yan said, "This time I'm number one, but also number one from last."

She lowered her head and started writing in her workbook again: this was something that concerned her living expenses for the second half of the semester.

"Heh, what a boastful statement!" Wang Feifei sneered from the front: "Sisi, did you hear someone bragging? They haven't even warmed their seat at school yet, and they already want to steal your first place."

Song Sisi said softly, "Don't say that. Learning is a healthy competition."

She turned back to look at Bai Yan and said, "If Ayan can take first place, I'll be happy for you too~" She smiled gently.

Bai Yan met her gaze and smiled, "Okay."

The results of the weekly test were posted the next day. Bai Yan was first in the class, surpassing Song Sisi, who used to be first, by nearly 20 points.

...

Before class even started, Song Sisi sat in her seat with a gloomy face that looked like it was about to rain... Why was this happening? Bai Yan shouldn't be able to beat her.

Thinking about how the teacher would announce the grades in class later, Song Sisi's face darkened even more.

As soon as the bell rang, Bai Yan and Shen Mubai entered the classroom side by side. Song Sisi bit her lip, her frustration growing stronger.

"Teacher, I want to report Bai Yan for cheating! The answers were in her drawer, I saw them!" Just two minutes into class, Wang Feifei suddenly stood up: "If she didn't cheat, how could she be number one?"

Shen Mubai frowned, about to get up.

"I don't need your help." Bai Yan took his hand and whispered, "I have a way."

Shen Mubai immediately pulled his hand back, "Who said I was going to help you?"

But her ears were getting redder and redder: How could she just touch someone's hand like that...?

Wang Feifei looked in Bai Yan's direction, her eyes filled with mockery and smugness: "Do you dare to take out what's in your drawer?"

Bai Yan nodded and smiled as she took out the papers that didn't belong to her from the drawer.

Teacher Chen frowned and walked over, glancing at Bai Yan: "It is indeed the reference answer."

Wang Feifei immediately said, "Teacher, I was in the same exam room as Bai Yan, and I saw her cheating during the exam!"

Privately, we have zero tolerance for cheating; anyone caught cheating will be expelled immediately!

Class teacher Chen frowned at Bai Yan: "Bai, what do you have to say?"

Song Sisi also said, "Xiao Yan, why did you cheat? You weren't like this before. Even if your grades weren't good, you would still try your best to study." She frowned and said with concern, "Is it because last time you said you wanted to outperform me?"

"Why do you have to do this? I told you I wouldn't take anything from you." Song Sisi sighed.

"Pah!" Wang Feifei said, "Sisi, why waste your breath on her? She's just jealous of you and wants to steal your first place, right?"

Bai Yan raised her head under everyone's gaze, then looked at Wang Feifei with a half-smile: "Haven't you had enough time in the police station?"

"Do you know something called fingerprint identification? Guess whose fingerprints I'll get on it if I pay some money to have it analyzed?"

Wang Feifei: ……

My inner world is experiencing a tsunami and earthquake.
