"Principal, is this... okay?" The counselor paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and looked over to see that the girl had already walked up the steps.

Ji Yanchen stared at the girl's back, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice low and soothing: "Trust her."

Li Wenlin's eyes flickered slightly, he smiled, and turned to the counselor, saying, "Don't forget, Shi Miao is no ordinary person."

The counselor could only nod upon hearing this, but the worry between his brows was undisguised.

The vice principal breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shi Miao finally come up.

He stepped forward and handed the microphone to the girl, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that she wasn't holding anything in her hand, and his temple throbbed.

No, what's going on? A speech without notes?

Shi Miao calmly took the microphone and whispered a thank you.

Meanwhile, on this side of the team...

"Wow, Shi Miao actually went up there."

"Damn, is Shi Miao going to give a speech without a script?"

"As expected of a big shot!"

Immediately, everyone below started discussing it.

"Zhixu, aren't you in the same dorm as Shi Miao? Did she memorize her speech yesterday?" asked a female classmate next to Xia Zhixu.

Xia Zhixu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "The counselor gave her the speech draft last night, and I didn't see her look at it."

The girl who had spoken looked on in disbelief and exclaimed in a low voice, "What? You've never even seen it?"

The two weren't speaking loudly, but their voices were loud enough for everyone around them to hear.

After hearing Xia Zhixu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

It seems that Shi Miao went up there with a completely forced smile.

Qin Mingyue, who was standing in the row behind Xia Zhixu, naturally heard it as well. Her eyes flashed and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

She wanted to see how Shi Miao would get out of this mess today.

Just then, Shi Miao's voice rang out from the stage: "Distinguished leaders, teachers, and fellow students, hello everyone. I am Shi Miao from Class A of the Computer Science Department."

The girl's voice was deep and husky, not the typical girlish voice, but it was very pleasant to listen to.

The counselor looked up at the girl on the stage, her body tensing up involuntarily, her heart pounding in her chest.

The next second, the girl began to speak with a calm demeanor, her tone clear and her pace just right.

The counselor's eyes widened. She had read the speech and the content was the same every year, so she remembered some of it.

She was certain that what Shi Miao said was not from the prepared speech at all, but rather something she improvised on the spot.

Only after hearing the words "Thank you everyone" did the counselor, looking dazed, raise his eyes to Principal Li beside him and subconsciously ask, "Principal, is it over?"

Li Wenlin nodded, his gaze fixed ahead. "Yes."

The counselor mechanically turned her head again, looking at the girl walking down from the podium with a somewhat complicated expression.

Shi Miao's speech was so perfect that it was impeccable, and her impromptu remarks were even better than what was written in the script.

Li Wenlin naturally knew that Shi Miao was improvising. He suddenly thought of something, glanced at the camera set up not far away, and turned his head to say, "Have someone print out Shi Miao's speech later. We'll start using her script next year."

Counselor: "Ah, okay."

...

The new students are here.

"Holy crap, this is a true master. He doesn't panic at all even when he's speaking without notes in such an important situation. He's absolutely impeccable. I'm getting so excited just hearing him talk about it."

"Ahhh, Yagami is so cool! Who else could stand up and give a speech without any notes after losing their prepared script?!"

"I just want to ask, is there anything Shi Miao can't do?"

Hearing the praise and approval of Shi Miao from those around her, Xia Zhixu's expression stiffened slightly, and her fingers hanging at her sides tightened slightly. She hadn't expected that Shi Miao could actually give a speech without notes.

But she clearly remembered that Shi Miao only glanced at the speech when he received it, then folded it up and put it on the table, and never opened it again.

how so?

Even with the best memory, it's impossible to remember something completely after just one glance.

Was it improvised?

That's way too exaggerated...

Regardless of the possibility, Xia Zhixu was feeling somewhat flustered, sensing that Miao was acting very strangely and completely unpredictably.

But then she remembered that she had already torn up the speech and flushed it down the toilet. Even if Shi Miao suspected her, there was no evidence. Everyone in the dormitory was a suspect.

Jiang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the speech had ended smoothly.

I couldn't help but think to myself: No wonder she's my goddess, there's nothing she can't handle.

Qin Mingyue, on the other hand, looked extremely pale. She hadn't expected that nothing had happened. Perhaps Miao was poisonous.

...

After the military training mobilization meeting concluded.

Shi Miao put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly toward his group.

His dark eyes casually swept across one of the rows, his gaze landing on Xia Zhixu with amusement.

In an instant, their eyes met.

When Xia Zhixu met her dark eyes, his heart felt like it was jumping into his throat, and his legs went stiff.

She swallowed hard, clenched her fists into her coat pockets, and then lowered her eyelashes as if feeling guilty.

After Shi Miao returned to the team, the one-month military training officially began.

The basic military training content for freshmen is not much different from that in high school. Of course, military training in universities tends to be more militarized and is definitely much more arduous than that in high school. It also adds a few training programs from military camps.

The training for the entire morning consisted of the simplest exercises: standing at attention and basic formation movements.

Soon it was lunchtime, and everyone was exhausted and walked towards the cafeteria with little energy.

After a whole morning, Jiang Ning finally had a chance to speak with Shi Miao. "Sister Miao, what's going on with the speech?"

Shi Miao raised her hand to lower the brim of her hat and said in a calm tone, "They switched me."

Jiang Ning frowned upon hearing this, not expecting it to be like this. She had thought Shi Miao had taken the wrong manuscript or something.

She remembered that the speech was on Shi Miao's desk. No one else had come into the dormitory from last night until she left this morning, so the person who changed the speech could only be someone from their dormitory.

Jiang Ning pursed her lips, her expression somewhat grave, and asked, "Sister Miao, who do you suspect?"

Shi Miao narrowed his dark eyes and lazily said, "Xia Zhixu."

She had slept all afternoon yesterday, so she was still awake at 2 a.m. when she heard Xia Zhixu get out of bed. A little while later, she heard the sound of water flushing in the bathroom.

She thought Xia Zhixu had gotten up to go to the bathroom, but she didn't expect that Xia Zhixu had changed her speech.

Jiang Ning also felt that Xia Zhixu was more likely, "But we have no evidence."

"So what if she doesn't?" Shi Miao stroked her chin, a dangerous glint in her beautiful eyes, and said seriously, "It doesn't stop me from beating her up. She should taste the iron fist of the people."
