As An Mingzhu spoke, her voice choked with emotion, "I'm so worried about her... I'm afraid she won't be able to resist the temptations of Jincheng and will accidentally go astray! The fact that she didn't come home the night before last has kept me worried sick all night, I..."
Realizing belatedly that she had "accidentally" said the wrong thing, An Mingzhu quickly covered her mouth.
An Mingzhu looked up and, as she had hoped, saw the disgust and disdain for Lin Chuxia on the faces of Chu Shanwen and the others. The smile hidden under her hands grew even brighter.
So what if Lin Chuxia is the top scorer in the national exam?
As long as she keeps focusing on Lin Chuxia's indiscretion, she can just as easily plunge Lin Chuxia into the dark abyss!
...
Lin Chuxia opened the door and entered the dormitory. As soon as she looked up, she was met with two pairs of eyes that were frighteningly bright.
She paused in her movements, and asked with some suspicion, "What...is wrong with you?"
Why does she look at me like I want to eat her alive?
Shen Ziying jumped off the bed first, pretending to be angry, and said, "Fine, you actually kept such an important thing from us!"
Seeing Lin Chuxia's puzzled expression, Jin Xiangxiang explained, "It's about you being the top scorer in this year's national college entrance examination. You don't know, when I heard the host call your name, my heart almost stopped! I never imagined that I would have the honor of sharing a dormitory with the top scorer!"
Jin Xiangxiang's face was beaming with smiles, and she clutched her heart with excitement.
Shen Ziying: "Exactly! If you had told us about this earlier, we could have confidently helped you yell back at those people!"
"I'm sorry, Chu Xia," Jin Xiangxiang suddenly apologized.
She looked at Lin Chuxia with a hint of apology on her face and said guiltily, "We are really sorry that we didn't speak up for you at the time... I... this is the first time I've encountered something like this, and I didn't know how to help you. I was also worried that I would say the wrong thing and cause you trouble."
Of course, the main reason is that I'm worried this matter will cause me trouble.
They had only known Lin Chuxia for a little over half a month, and their relationship wasn't that deep. There was no need for them to risk offending angry netizens or classmates for her sake.
"It's okay." Lin Chuxia didn't care about the matter.
She could understand Jin Xiang's thoughts and concerns, so she didn't blame them.
Jin Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming that Lin Chuxia truly didn't care.
A genuine smile appeared on her face. "However, Chu Xia, I really admire you! You're so good at hiding it! If it were me, I probably would have picked up a megaphone long ago and wanted to announce it to the world, wishing the whole world knew that I was the top scorer in the national exam."
Hearing her exaggerated words, Lin Chuxia smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that I can hide it. I was quite excited at first too."
"But as time went by, I realized that being the top scorer in the national exam wasn't all that great, because these honors and achievements only represent the past and not the future. So over time, I felt that the title of 'top scorer in the national exam' was nothing special."
Naturally, I also felt that there was nothing to brag about.
She hadn't intended to hide it from them; she just felt it wasn't important.
It's a fact that Lin Chuxia won first place in the national college entrance examination. However, all they did to celebrate was have a nice meal, and she, the one being celebrated, was the one who cooked. -_-||
