The next morning

After getting out of the black van that the Ling family was responsible for picking her and Ling Tian up, Ling Mo did not head straight for Class F's classroom as usual, but instead followed behind Ling Tian at a leisurely pace.

Normally, except for the final exam, students in the same class usually take exams in the same examination room.

However, since the top scorer in this unified entrance examination for the senior high school students can be directly admitted to the Intercontinental University, which is coveted by countless students, the school also attaches great importance to it.

To prevent students from cheating, a more rigorous mixed-schedule examination room system was adopted.

Ling Mo, on the other hand, was assigned to Class A, which she disliked the most.

If this were an unimportant exam, she might have simply chosen to skip it.

But since it concerned whether Ling Tian could be admitted to the Intercontinental University in advance, after careful consideration, she finally chose to compromise and walked towards the examination room with a disgruntled look on her face.

Ling Tian was unaware that Ling Mo had also been assigned to the A-class exam room. She mistakenly thought that Ling Mo had been following her and wanted to deal with her in the same way he dealt with Ji Yan. She was so frightened that she turned pale and walked faster and faster.

Ling Mo looked at Ling Tian, ​​who kept turning her head to steal glances at her, and seemed a little confused.

What's wrong with Ling Tian so early in the morning?

Given her current state of extreme terror, where every pore on her body is trembling, she would definitely be a hit if she starred in a horror movie.

"ah..."

When Ling Tian turned her head for the nth time, she didn't see the road ahead clearly and bumped right into a strong and muscular physical education student.

The powerful impact caused her to completely lose her balance, and with a "bang," she fell heavily from the stairwell, landing on her back as other students watched.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

The PE student saw Ling Tian lying on the ground in a disheveled state, rushed over, and quickly straightened her pleated skirt, which was almost pulled up to her waistline.

"rogue!"

Ling Tian was filled with grief and indignation, and slapped the PE student hard across the face.

"You're insane! You're the one who bumped into me, and I was just trying to help you up. You don't appreciate it, but why did you hit me?"

The physical education student was slapped for no reason. He covered his red cheek and walked away cursing.

With her head of fine, frizzy hair, Li Wanwan lazily yawned as she walked up the stairs when she saw Ling Tian doing the splits and crying on the stairs, leaving the onlookers completely bewildered, wondering what day it was.

This extremely rare and spectacular scene instantly invigorated her. She tugged at Ling Mo's sleeve and whispered, "..."

"Hey deskmate, what kind of trouble has this former school beauty gotten herself into this time? Why is she doing the splits on the stairs so early in the morning?"

"It seems... she was scared by me."

"Is she really that timid? I think she's probably just pretending."

Li Wanwan patted her pockets, muttering with a hint of regret, "What a pity. If I had any extra coins, I would have given her a few. Performing for money is not easy, so let's appreciate it while we can."

"Don't look at me, I didn't bring any coins either."

Ling Mo shrugged, casually put his arm around Li Wanwan's shoulder, and ignored Ling Tian's sobbing as they walked together toward Class A.

At the entrance of Class A classroom, Ji Yan, who had just been bailed out of the police station by his family, was anxiously waiting for Ling Tian, ​​wanting to personally let her know he was safe so she wouldn't always worry about him.

However, after waiting for more than half an hour, Ling Tian still hadn't arrived, but instead, he was greeted by Ling Mo, an uninvited guest.

He coldly stared at Ling Mo as she strolled over, then blocked her path with an unfriendly expression. "What are you doing in our class? You're not here to cause trouble for Ling Tian, ​​are you?"

Ling Mo glanced at the thick casts on Ji Yan's arms and said indifferently, "If you don't move aside, it won't just be two broken arms."

As soon as she finished speaking, the students who were peeking into the classroom became even more excited, whispering and excitedly discussing the grudges between Ji Yan, Ling Tian, ​​and Ling Mo, the newly crowned school beauty.

"Was it this new school beauty who broke our class monitor's hand?"

"That's what they say."

"I think Ji Yan did something wrong. As the class monitor of Class A, he was so heartless as to let a group of thugs bully a defenseless girl. It's despicable."

"Keep your voice down. Ji Yan's family are all involved in the underworld; you'll definitely suffer if you offend him."

“I was wondering how he could be released after only two days in jail for committing such a serious crime. It turns out that someone in his family was backing him up.”

...

Hearing the surrounding whispers and criticisms, Ji Yan felt humiliated. His teeth chattered as he snapped at Ling Mo, "I can't believe I've lost face!"

"Those from Class F are not worthy to step into our Class A classroom."

"I'm not worthy?"

Ling Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, and his sharply defined lips suddenly curved into a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

She originally thought that since Ji Yan had both his arms broken, he should have avoided her.

Unexpectedly, even in such a disheveled state, he still wanted to stand up for Ling Tian.

They're really courting death!

Ji Yan glanced impatiently at Ling Mo, whose expression was cold, and snorted sarcastically:

“You are absolutely not worthy. How can a student who gets zero in all subjects be qualified to step into our Class A? In my opinion, you are not even worthy to be a student of our school.”

"My deskmate isn't worthy, but are you? You're a scapegoat from nine years of compulsory education, and you're supposed to be the class monitor of Class A? You're capable of doing something as heinous as hiring someone to commit assault. You have absolutely no bottom line!"

Li Wanwan was so angry that she shoved Ji Yan. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe that the former academic genius could become so unreasonable.

Ji Yan lowered his eyes to look at Li Wanwan's hand tightly gripping his collar, and said with particular disgust:

"Let go of your filthy hands. Otherwise, I'll report you to the disciplinary office for deliberately causing trouble and fighting in Class A."

"It just so happens that I was also planning to go to the Department of Political Education to ask why your heinous act of hiring someone to commit assault was not punished. If the Department of Political Education cannot answer my questions, I don't mind going to the police station to find out for myself."

Ling Mo was originally too lazy to waste words with Ji Yan, but seeing him intimidating Li Wanwan in such an uncouth manner, she turned cold and confronted him head-on without backing down.
