No, it wasn't that no one proved it to her, but she refused to believe it and, among many options, chose only to punish Lu Qingyan.
When she returned to the classroom, class had already started. Her deskmate, seeing Lu Qingyan return, looked up at the teacher, wrote a sentence in her notebook, and nudged Lu Qingyan towards it.
When Lu Qingyan saw it, her face immediately turned ugly. It read: "You weren't here just now, so the teacher has marked you absent."
Lu Qingyan continued writing below that sentence: "Didn't someone in the class know that I was called over by the teacher?"
"Yes, someone said so. But the teacher said that since you weren't here, you should remember it this way."
Thinking about the way the teacher looked at her when she first came in, Lu Qingyan felt like she had nowhere to vent her anger.
She wouldn't dare say how good she was in her year, but the teachers in this class should all know her, right?
When she first came in, the teacher didn't ask her a single question. Instead, she looked at her with a critical and disgusted gaze, as if she were some kind of nasty person.
Lu Qingyan was sitting in the corner of the classroom, easily missed if you weren't looking closely. She took out her pen and paper and quickly repeated the twenty assignments.
This level of physical labor is much easier than mental labor. It's not that she wants to do these things, but she's a student now, which makes her feel inferior in front of her teachers.
Her deskmate glanced at what she had written and could roughly guess what it was about.
"There's something I need to tell you, but don't be angry. I heard that someone in the class next door also had their homework disappear after they handed it in, just like you. At first, the teacher didn't punish them."
Lu Qingyan: "..."
I wouldn't have been angry if you hadn't told me, but now that you have, I'm even angrier!!!
Unbeknownst to Lu Qingyan, Bai Tingyu and Xiao Xin were secretly laughing behind her.
"Tingyu, you're so smart. Look at her now, all dejected, she looks much better." Xiao Xin drew circles on her notebook with her pen, her gaze seemingly falling on Lu Qingyan.
When Bai Tingyu heard her speak, she moved to the side and closer to Xiao Xin. She smiled and said, "Aren't we good friends? It's only right that I help you. Besides, I don't like her at all. Someone who looks so stupid can still get first place. If her ranking in the grade isn't higher, I'll think the teacher is letting her win."
Bai Tingyu's words struck a chord with Xiao Xin, making her feel very pleased. Xiao Xin herself was unwilling to admit that she lacked ability, and instead said with a flicker in her eyes, "Don't talk nonsense, maybe she was just lucky."
Bai Tingyu smiled and said, "Luck is also a kind of strength. But if she's really lucky enough, we can find a way to snatch that luck away, and then that luck will be ours."
"Snatch...snatch it?" Xiao Xin exclaimed in astonishment, her mouth agape. "How is that even possible? Are you talking in your sleep?"
She said she didn't believe it, but deep down she was still secretly hoping.
Bai Tingyu said angrily, "Alright, stop acting in front of me. Don't you know what my family does? I don't believe this is true, and I can't do anything about it."
Xiao Xin asked, "Are you going to ask your family for help?"
Bai Tingyu pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "Those cowards stay at home all day unless it's absolutely necessary to go out and take on one or two jobs. They won't get any benefits from doing this kind of thing, do you think they'll come?"
