Chapter 10: Is the Devoted Female Supporting Character Cheating?
Chapter 10
Qi Yu felt that this world was so cruel.
How could that inverted five become positive one in just a few days?
And that second place winner.
Why did the transfer student get second place on the exam right after arriving?!
As an intelligence whiz who treats studying as a side job but gossip as a main occupation, I've already got the information about the transfer student.
After checking their rankings, students began searching for familiar names, exchanging information with each other.
"Holy crap, Qin Yan is in first place? That can't be real!"
"Qin Yan? Which Qin Yan? It can't be that Qin Yan, can it?"
"I remember she did very poorly on her last exam. The teacher mentioned her as a negative example, saying that some students' high-profile early romantic relationships were affecting their studies."
Perhaps because Qin Yan's name was so well-known, no one noticed that the second-place student was a transfer student.
Qi Yu heard the people around her talking and felt a little more at ease.
She wasn't the only one who thought this ranking was absurd.
"...Yanyan, it's unbelievable that you got first place, even though the transfer student came in second."
"Yes, she should have been in first place."
"Huh?" The surroundings were too noisy, so Qi Yu leaned closer to Qin Yan's head. "What did you say?"
"I said, I'm not going to teach you how to surf."
"...Ugh!"
"He only ranked forty-fourth."
If the circumstances hadn't prevented it, Qi Yu would have already roared in frustration.
What do you mean "only forty-fourth place"? She ranked over one hundredth in the last exam, so she improved by almost one hundred places!
Isn't the use of the word "talent" a bit excessive?
Although Qin Yan's ranking was even more outrageous than hers.
After checking the rankings, Qin Yan decided not to squeeze into the crowd and turned to leave.
Qi Yu saw her leave and intended to follow, but then, as if possessed, she ran to the bulletin board for the second year of high school, where the first place was clearly written with Qin Ye's name.
Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the eldest son of the Qin family, he firmly holds the top spot and never backs down.
Then she went straight to the bottom of the rankings and saw Xie Lin's name, who ranked second to last.
This one is no less impressive, holding onto the bottom spot.
It seems Qin Yan has finally come to her senses and is starting to emulate Qin Ye.
It's just that everything is viewed a bit too comprehensively.
After reviewing the rankings of the two important figures, Qi Yu returned to Qin Yan with satisfaction: "Yan Yan!"
She jogged over and found Qin Yan standing there waiting for her for quite a while.
"Qin Ye is number one again." Qi Yu's tone was full of envy and jealousy.
Qin Yan replied calmly, "Yes, of course."
Qi Yu felt that she could sense a sense of "I got first place, but he didn't, so he's not good enough for me."
"Xie Lin got second to last place." Qi Yu didn't forget to tell Qin Yan everything she had seen and heard.
Qin Ye and Xie Lin were worlds apart, and Qin Yan's change of heart made her very gratified.
Hearing Qi Yu's words, Qin Yan remained unmoved compared to Qi Yu's gloating: "True skill level, normal performance."
Yanyan is so aloof, but I like her a lot.
"Yanyan, which beach should we go to? I heard that there are a lot of handsome guys at C Beach in S City, how about we go there?"
Qi Yu's mind was already filled with thoughts of a summer beach trip: "Or B Beach in L City would be fine too, the sand there is very soft and feels great to walk on."
Qin Yan said she would teach her to surf, but she was still skeptical. After all, if someone who couldn't even get into the water said she would teach her to surf, she, as a wise person, would definitely not believe it 99.99 percent.
The remaining 0.01% is based on the fact that Qin Yan cannot be analyzed using common sense.
For example, this final exam.
This must be the result of a genius.
"Let's go to my family's beach."
"Um?"
"The newly built resort is in its trial operation phase, so there aren't many people yet. Let me show you around."
"...There aren't many handsome guys, are there?"
Qin Yan turned to look at her, a slight smile playing on her lips: "I should say that you can hardly see any people."
Qi Yu was filled with hatred.
This was not what she expected.
She had been looking forward to seeing a muscular man in a swimsuit with abs for several days.
Seeing Qi Yu's dejected appearance, as if the sky had fallen, he kindly reminded her, "If you want to see a muscular man with abs, that should still be possible."
Qi Yu immediately perked up: "No, not at all."
Qin Yan saw Qin Ye passing by the high school sophomore results bulletin board in the distance without even glancing at it, while the two people beside him walked up to the bulletin board with great interest to look for his name.
Qin Ye seemed to sense something and looked at her.
Then his lips moved.
These were three words that she had recently become unusually familiar with.
Qin Yan nodded to him.
Qin Ye's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile, but he looked quite pleased.
"What's wrong, Yanyan?" Qi Yu followed her gaze and looked over. "Oh ho, Young Master Qin."
Qin Yan smiled and said, "Here you go, the muscular abs guy you wanted."
Qi Yu felt a string snap in her mind: "...What?"
“My dad invited Uncle Qin to experience the resort, and his son will likely go as well.”
Qi Yu felt her facial muscles stiffen, and she could barely speak: "You don't mean to say that muscular man is your young master Qin, do you?"
“Yes.” Qin Yan saw that Qin Ye had unexpectedly walked to the first-year high school results bulletin board. He was just standing outside the crowd, looking up at it with his back straight. Even though he was just standing there, his temperament was completely different from others.
"A muscular man, abs, a beach—you have it all," Qin Yan said, no longer looking at him, leading Qi Yu back to the classroom. "Are you happy?"
Qi Yu had a long face.
...I'm not happy.
She has absolutely no interest in other people's men.
"Brother Ye, what are you looking at?" Li Jun looked at his ranking. Not bad, he had improved. He was now ranked 207th in the grade. He would continue to work hard next time.
It is clear that I have been successfully brainwashed and do not care at all that there are only two hundred and twenty people in the entire grade.
Qin Ye's eyes were full of smiles: "As expected of my fiancée, she did very well on the exam."
"Huh?" Li Jun scratched his head. "Qin Yan? What rank did she get?"
Wang Yue felt good after seeing his ranking of fifteenth, and walked over to the two of them: "What's wrong? This is the first-year students' grade bulletin board, right?"
The fact that Qin Ye lingered on the first-year high school grades bulletin board for so long was undoubtedly because of Qin Yan.
Wang Yue subconsciously started looking for Qin Yan's name from the middle forward: "What's wrong? What rank did your fiancée get that makes you so happy?"
In his memory, Qin Yan's grades were not good, largely because she was too focused on love and couldn't keep up with her studies.
Qin Ye's voice was filled with pride: "First place."
Li Jun, who assumed Qin Yan's grades were similar to his own, was speechless.
Wang Yue, who thought Qin Yan's grades were only slightly above average, said: "...Hmm?"
The two of them turned to look at the person in first place.
The two large characters "Qin Yan" were clearly written on it.
—It's fake, right?
This was Li Jun's first reaction.
—Could it be cheating?
Wang Yue's first reaction.
"I'll treat you to dinner, either domestic or international, you can choose."
The two looked at Qin Ye's retreating figure and exchanged a glance.
Li Jun frowned, while Wang Yue spread his hands.
This person truly had no doubts whatsoever.
It was as if it were a matter of course that his fiancée would get first place in the exam.

#Qin Yan cheated#
Did everyone see that? Qin Yan is number one on the first-year high school grades bulletin board!
[What? I didn't notice, is this real? How could someone with such terrible grades get first place?]
[Image.JPG]
Is this for real? I remember she was near the bottom of the grade in the last exam.
So she cheated?
[Cheating is highly unlikely. Everyone in her exam room was a bottom-of-the-class student; there's no way she could possibly get first place in the grade by cheating.]
[That's not necessarily true. There was another student in the grade who ranked second in that exam room; they might have copied from this.]
Why is the second-highest ranked student in the grade also in the last exam room?
I heard she's a transfer student.
But the score difference between first and second place is more than thirty points.
I have reason to suspect that she stole the exam paper beforehand.
Rumors of Qin Yan's cheating spread throughout the school in just one day, and the students' comments also reached the teachers' ears.
All of Qin Yan's teachers strongly support her.
“She didn’t cheat. She has been completing her homework diligently lately, and she even solved some of the more difficult problems that other students couldn’t answer.”
"I even wanted to give her a perfect score on her English test this time, but I was afraid she would get arrogant, so I deducted a point from the essay. But that essay could obviously be used as a model for all students to get a perfect score. It used a lot of advanced vocabulary!"
"How could she possibly cheat? She's the only one in the entire grade to get a perfect score in science. Who could she possibly copy from?"
The teachers also chimed in with their opinions, expressing different views on Qin Yan's grades this time.
Cheating is no small matter, and if not handled properly, it is extremely unfair to other students.
Everyone takes the exam based on their ability, so why should someone be allowed to cheat?
And they did it so ostentatiously.
The teachers were having a lively discussion in the office, while Fang Ling carefully spread Qin Yan's test paper on the table, looking at each of her wrong answers one by one.
"Ah, so that's how it is. I never thought of that." After exclaiming in surprise, he picked up a red pen and started drawing circles on his test paper, even more attentively than during class.
Fang Ling had witnessed her deskmate's abilities earlier than anyone else. When she heard that her deskmate had gotten first place, she was amazed for a moment, and then accepted it calmly.
That's Qin Yan, who can even solve competition problems. How could a mere final exam possibly stump her?
As a member of the physics competition class, I gained profound insights from asking Qin Yan questions whenever I encountered something I didn't understand and receiving answers.
Qin Yan is number one, which is only natural.
During the noisy break between classes, the homeroom teacher suddenly came to the classroom door, peeked into the classroom, and fixed his gaze on Qin Yan, who was sitting quietly in her seat listening to Qi Yu's long speech: "Qin Yan."
The homeroom teacher beckoned: "Come here for a moment."
Qin Yan immediately stood up: "Coming."
Qi Yu moved her own stool and sat down next to Qin Yan. She was still angrily venting her frustration at the vicious comments online. After all, she was very satisfied with her 44th place ranking and had no intention of studying her mistakes.
Then, seeing Qin Yan get up nimbly and walk away quickly, I was a little taken aback.
She seemed to be in a hurry to leave.
"Qin Yan, this question..."
Fang Ling turned her head and looked at the empty seat.
Qi Yu, who was sitting next to the empty seat, was grabbing her own chair and carrying it back.
Fang Ling was somewhat confused: "Huh? Where did they go?"
