Chapter 11 The Infatuated Female Supporting Character Learns to Awaken
Chapter 11
Qin Yan was led into the office by her homeroom teacher.
The homeroom teacher said to her earnestly, "Qin Yan, I have seen your recent efforts and progress. Your first place in the final exam is clearly the result of your recent hard work."
Qin Yan nodded gently, her expression obedient: "Thank you, teacher."
Seeing Qin Yan's good attitude, the homeroom teacher felt more at ease: "It's just that because your score is quite different from your last exam, we have received some questions from individual students, and teachers who don't know your situation are also surprised by the large difference between your two scores."
Qin Yan stood obediently to the side, listening with her head down, without interrupting.
The homeroom teacher spoke more and more slowly: "After all, cheating is a very serious matter, and if it is not handled properly, it will be extremely detrimental to you. We have also checked the surveillance footage and did not see any suspicion of cheating. However, in order to solve this problem, the teachers in our grade just discussed it and made this decision."
Qin Yan hummed in agreement, indicating that she was listening.
"We will prepare a new final exam paper and arrange for you to take it separately. The results will be made public throughout the school."
Being accused of cheating is a very upsetting thing, let alone having to retake the exam.
No one could accept that.
The homeroom teacher looked at Qin Yan with some concern; she had already anticipated various possible reactions from Qin Yan.
Anger, resentment, shock, sadness... the feeling of not being trusted is indeed hard to accept.
However, Qin Yan simply looked at her calmly, then asked softly, "When is the exam?"
The homeroom teacher had already imagined countless excuses to comfort her and was prepared to bear the possibility of Qin Yan's hysterical emotions. She was about to open her mouth to comfort her when she received a lighthearted remark from Qin Yan.
"Hmm... Ah... We're already preparing this test paper, and we should be able to start preparing for the exam the day after tomorrow."
Then the homeroom teacher noticed that Qin Yan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
Why are you unhappy? Is it because you feel it's too fast? Is there not enough time to prepare for the exam?
It's okay, we can discuss the timing further. It was indeed a bit too rushed; we need to give people time to prepare.
Class teacher: "If..."
Qin Yan: "We'll be on holiday the day after tomorrow."
The homeroom teacher swallowed his words, "If you think it's too rushed, we can postpone it for a few days."
She couldn't quite figure Qin Yan out.
The homeroom teacher asked in a consultative tone, "Then what time do you think would be suitable?"
Qin Yan's eyebrows relaxed: "I think tomorrow would be quite suitable."
...I probably won't even be able to finish a rough draft of tomorrow's exam paper.
Qin Yan spoke again: "I think it would be good if we could finish all the exams in one day tomorrow."
This tone is definitely not one of negotiation.
The homeroom teacher started to feel a headache coming on.
How is it possible to finish the exam in one day?
She rubbed her temples. "Tomorrow's schedule is a bit tight, but we'll try our best to arrange the exam for you the day after tomorrow..."
Qin Yan interrupted her directly: "Retaking the exam is not my obligation."
The homeroom teacher's heart skipped a beat.
"It's okay if my grades, which I earned through my own hard work, are questioned, but if the questioning affects my vacation—fine, let the people who question me provide evidence, otherwise I have the right to refuse to retake the exam."
The homeroom teacher was stunned by Qin Yan's words.
This lovestruck girl seems like a completely different person after she turned over a new leaf.
If they had evidence, they wouldn't be in such a predicament and have come up with this solution.
It seems like I'll have to work overtime tonight, whether I want to or not. I have to finish this test paper before the holiday.
"...I'll discuss it with the other teachers and try to get you to finish this exam before the holiday."
Qin Yan bowed and said, "My schedule has been very full every day since I started my vacation, so I'll have to trouble you, teacher."
head teacher:"……"
Okay, she understood.
The subtext is: don't expect her to cooperate with the exam during the holidays.
Has Qin Yan always spoken like this?
Back in the classroom, Fang Ling asked Qin Yan with concern, "What's wrong? Did the homeroom teacher want to see you about something?"
Qin Yan calmly sat down: "It's nothing, it's just that I have to retake the exam."
Fang Ling gasped: "Retake the exam? Why?"
Qin Yan said nonchalantly, "Someone reported me for cheating."
Fang Ling's mouth dropped open: "Cheating?"
Her expression shifted several times before she finally spoke slowly: "Your exam room is full of students from the bottom of the grade. Even if you copied from anyone around you, you couldn't possibly get first place in the grade, right?"
Qin Yan kindly added, "There's also someone who came in second in the grade."
Fang Ling's expression became even stranger: "Putting aside the fact that you, the top student in the grade, copied from the second-ranked student, you were sitting so far apart from her. Did you communicate with each other using your minds?"
Qin Yan smiled, revealing her neat white teeth: "It's because someone suspects me of stealing the exam paper."
Fang Ling was at a loss for words: "Is it really that easy for them to report us when we're stealing so obviously?"
“Actually, I can understand,” Qin Yan said calmly. “Not everyone’s brain can be called a brain.”
Fang Ling thought Qin Yan's words made a lot of sense, so she stopped worrying about the issue.
When are you taking the exam?
"Tomorrow."
Fang Ling exclaimed softly in surprise, "Tomorrow? So soon!"
They weren't mentally prepared at all.
Qin Yan rested her chin on her hand on the table: "Not necessarily, but I should be able to finish the exams before the holiday."
Fang Ling was a little worried about her: "Isn't it too fast? Why don't you tell the teacher to prepare for a few more days and take the exam later?"
Qin Yan tilted her head to look at her: "It was my suggestion that the exam be held tomorrow."
Fang Ling: "...Huh?"
Qin Yan: "I can retake the exam, but it can't interfere with my vacation."
At first glance, this statement seems logically sound, but upon closer listening, it doesn't quite seem right.
Fang Ling nodded mechanically: "That's...good."
Perhaps this is the enlightenment of a top student.
"By the way, there's a question I don't quite understand since you left. Could you explain it to me?"
The academic aspirations of Fangling have been activated.

[I heard Qin Yan is going to retake the exam?]
[Now she won't even have time to cheat; the teacher will have to rewrite the test.]
[So, you should be more discreet when cheating; getting first place in the grade by cheating is just too shameless.]
[Tsk, this guy seems to really enjoy making a fool of himself in front of the whole school. Before, he pursued Xie Lin so much that everyone knew about it, and now he's shamelessly cheated to get first place. He's incredibly stupid.]
What?! That idiot Qin cheated and got first place? That's hilarious! I'll wait and see how many points she gets on the retake.
Li Jun couldn't stand the comments on the forum anymore: "Brother Ye, is your fiancée going to retake the exam?"
Qin Ye, who was leaning against the headboard studying calculus, looked up at him upon hearing this and asked, "Hmm?"
Li Jun hesitated: "It seems that she is suspected of cheating, so she has to retake the test."
He was starting to have doubts, not just about others.
Li Jun specifically looked up Qin Yan's midterm exam results, which were absolutely appalling, almost on par with his own.
Qin Ye hummed in agreement again, said nothing more, and continued reading with his head down.
Li Jun wanted to hear Qin Ye's thoughts, but after waiting for a long time, the old man didn't offer any insightful opinions.
"Brother Ye?"
"Your brother trusts his fiancée, so don't disturb her while she's studying for university." Wang Yue tapped Li Jun on the back of the head.
Li Jun glared at Wang Yue and rubbed the back of his head: "If you hit me again, I'll go crazy."
"Really?" Wang Yue shrugged. "I feel like he was stupid before the fight."
Li Jun jumped up and slapped Wang Yue's butt hard: "Want to fight?"
Wang Yue narrowed his eyes and, unwilling to admit defeat, slapped Li Jun's arm.
Soon the two of them were intertwined like a rope.
Qin Ye glanced at the two who were still fighting on the bed, then picked up his phone which was lying to the side.
There's been no activity in the pinned chat for a long time.
It seems that if he doesn't take the initiative, the other party won't even remember that she has such a fiancé.
-fiancée.
- When will the retake be held?
Qin Yan had just finished drying her hair when she saw her phone screen light up.
She casually tossed her hair, picked up her phone, and saw it was Qin Ye.
It seems that the news of her retaking the exam has somehow spread throughout the school again.
My fiancé has really gone to a lot of trouble.
She walked to the bedside, kicked off her slippers, and rolled onto the bed.
After thinking for a moment, I decided to send a message to Qin Ye.
Her fiancé's concern for her made her seem too indifferent.
-Uncertain, waiting for notification, should be able to finish the exam before the holiday.
The message was sent out and Qin Ye replied almost instantly.
-There's a sci-fi movie coming out next month, it's got pretty high ratings, wanna watch it together?
Qin Yan couldn't think of a reason to refuse her fiancé.
Her fiancé trusts her unconditionally, helps her discreetly and quietly, and occasionally gives her small gifts to create little surprises.
He can be considered a model of a good man.
She typed rapidly on her phone.
-OK.
Good man Qin Ye replied instantly again.
- I'll ask you out then.
-Um.
Get some rest, goodnight.
-install.
Qin Yan stared at the screen, but the other party didn't send any more messages.
They really didn't ask her even the slightest thing about cheating.
It was as if it were only natural for her to be number one in the exam.
She had just put down her phone to read a novel for a while when it vibrated on the bedside table.
Qin Yan looked down and raised an eyebrow.
It was an unexpected call.
She's been living a very comfortable life lately, and the system seems to have disappeared; she's almost forgotten about it.
The lit screen displayed the two large characters "Xie Lin".
Although she really didn't want to answer, Qin Yan still picked up the phone: "Hello?"
A familiar, mocking voice came through the receiver, tinged with a hint of drunkenness: "Qin Yan."
Qin Yan frowned, judging from Xie Lin's voice, he was probably drunk: "Hmm."
The sound of the bottle being slammed onto the table came clearly. Xie Lin swallowed a large gulp of wine: "I heard you got first place?"
While pondering how to end the call, Qin Yan replied perfunctorily, "Okay."
Xie Lin chuckled, his words laced with sarcasm: "So, to be worthy of Qin Ye, you'd rather cheat than not get first place?"
Qin Yan coldly replied, "What's it to you?"
"Qin Yan." Xie Lin's voice was deep.
"So your feelings for me are so superficial? Just the title of fiancée is enough for you to completely erase these feelings?"
Xie Lin said viciously, "You're nothing but a fickle and promiscuous woman."
Xie Lin picked up the new bottle and gulped it down.
One part mockery, two parts drunkenness, and seven parts regret.
"Think what you want," Qin Yan said, not wanting to listen to a drunkard any longer. "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
Before he could even put his phone down, he heard Xie Lin's urgent voice: "Wait."
Qin Yan was a little impatient: "Hmm?"
"What if," Xie Lin said after a few seconds of silence, "I were your fiancé?"
Will you still treat me the same way as before?
