Chapter 23 Loud Conspiracy
Chapter 23 Loud Conspiracy
Her gaze passed over Lin Yu's shoulder and landed on the report card on the desk.
666.
Xia Zijing's ears suddenly turned uncontrollably red. The redness spread all the way to the base of her neck.
Her birthday is June 6th.
"you……"
Xia Zijing opened her mouth, but her usually fluent physics formulas suddenly stalled. "What do you take this provincial joint exam for?"
Lin Yu walked past her with one hand in his pocket.
Treat it as a numbers game.
He paused for a moment, then added without turning his head.
"By the way, happy birthday. It's a bit early, though."
Xia Zijing stood rooted to the spot, her fingers gripping the exam paper tightly. Her brain, which could only hold physics constants and calculus equations, completely shut down at this moment.
At the same time.
Classroom of Class 7, Grade 12.
Su Qingwan looked at the class report card posted next to the blackboard and felt a chill run through her body, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Name: Su Qingwan.
Total score: 412 points.
He was last in his class. His ranking in the entire school dropped below 800.
Especially English.
32 points.
She had perfectly fallen into every trap on the exam paper. Those answers she thought were shortcuts were all dead ends carefully laid out by the test creators.
"Why...why did this happen..."
Su Qingwan gripped her hair tightly, her once delicate face now contorted in a terrifying grimace.
She suddenly remembered the notebook that Lin Yu had casually tossed into the wastepaper basket.
That's fake!
He wrote that down on purpose to frame her!
Su Qingwan raised her head, her eyes bloodshot. Her reason completely crumbled at that moment.
There are only two months left until the college entrance examination, and the city's first mock exam is just around the corner.
"Lin Yu..."
Su Qingwan gritted her teeth, her voice squeezed out with a hysterical frenzy, "You ruined me... I won't let you get away with this! The mock exam... the mock exam answer sheet, let's see how you control the score!"
There are 60 days left until the college entrance examination. The citywide mock exam is 48 hours away.
Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, Class 7, Grade 12.
The announcement for the morning exercises echoed outside the window. Su Qingwan sat in her seat, clutching the score sheet from the joint exam of 100 schools tightly in her hand. 412 points. Last in the class.
When classmates passed by, there was no longer the fawning and envy of the past; instead, there were undisguised whispers.
"I heard she stole Lin Yu's discarded notebook and treasured it, but ended up perfectly avoiding all the correct answers."
"Serves her right. Who told her to dump Lin Yu because she was a gold digger? Now he's a top student that the provincial education commission is focusing on, while she's barely making it into a junior college."
Every word is piercing to the heart.
Su Qingwan dug her nails into her palms, drawing blood. She suddenly stood up, shoved her chair aside, and rushed out of the classroom.
The rooftop of the teaching building. The wind was strong, blowing Su Qingwan's long, straight black hair into disarray.
Li Hao stood on the edge of the rooftop, smoking. He was wearing the uniform of the provincial capital's No. 1 High School, but he exuded a gloomy aura.
Ever since Lin Yu humiliated him at winter camp, he has become a laughingstock in the experimental class of the provincial capital's No. 1 High School. Zhao Tianyu even forbids him from entering the laboratory.
In order to secure a spot in the college entrance examination, he had no choice but to return to Jiangcheng to take the mock exam again.
"What do you want from me?"
Li Hao exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes filled with irritation.
"Brother Hao, please help me."
Su Qingwan stepped forward, her eyes red-rimmed. "Lin Yu ruined me. He deliberately wrote fake notes to harm me. If I fail this mock exam again, I won't even be able to get into a second-tier university."
Li Hao sneered, "He can even trample the provincial physics champion underfoot, what can I do to help you? Kneel before him?"
No. He is not a god.
Su Qingwan gritted her teeth, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes. "He can control his scores because he has practice papers to do. What if he didn't even have practice papers?"
Li Hao paused, his hand holding the cigarette still.
"I've already inquired about it."
Su Qingwan lowered her voice, "This time, in the mock exam for the science section, in the seventh exam room, there's a proctor named Zhang Qiang. He used to be your uncle Liu Jianguo's substitute physical education teacher. This guy is dishonest and short of money."
Li Hao narrowed his eyes: "You want to destroy his answer sheet?"
"If the answer sheet barcode and the area for subjective questions are largely damaged, the machine will not be able to scan it. According to regulations, it will only score zero."
Su Qingwan's tone was urgent, "Brother Hao, you don't want to see him get first place in the city again in the mock exam, completely locking up Jiangcheng's guaranteed admission spot, do you?"
Li Hao didn't say anything. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with the sole of his shoe.
"Twenty thousand yuan. I'll contact Zhang Qiang."
Li Hao raised his head, his eyes icy. "But this has nothing to do with me. It was all done by you, Su Qingwan. Understand?"
"Understand."
Su Qingwan smiled.
The iron gate to the rooftop was half-open. They didn't notice that there was a person standing in the stairwell inside the gate.
Lin Yu leaned against the wall, holding a can of room-temperature black coffee. He wasn't eavesdropping; he just happened to be there to enjoy the breeze.
The reflection from the fire escape glass at the end of the corridor clearly showed the two people on the rooftop.
"The attenuation rate of sound waves in open space is inversely proportional to the square of the distance."
Lin Yu took a sip of coffee, his tone flat, "Plotting so loudly, are you afraid others won't hear you, or do you think your IQ has dropped to the point where you can ignore the laws of physics?"
He casually tossed the empty can into the nearby trash can and turned to go downstairs.
Back in the classroom, Xia Zijing was sitting next to him, flipping through a book called A Brief History of Time.
"Your exam admission ticket."
Xia Zijing pushed a piece of paper over, "Seventh examination room, seat number 01. I'm in the seventh examination room, seat number 02."
Lin Yu stuffed his exam admission ticket into his school uniform pocket.
"There are rumors that you got 666 points on the last joint exam because you ran out of luck, and that you'll fail this mock exam because it's all new question types."
Xia Zijing pushed up her black-rimmed glasses and stared at him. "How many points are you planning to control?"
"I'm not controlling it anymore."
Lin Yu pulled out a chair and sat down.
Xia Zijin paused in her flipping through the book.
"I'm tired of it."
Lin Yu rested his chin on his hand, his gaze fixed on the view outside the window. "This time, I'll just get a perfect score for fun."
Xia Zijin didn't reply, but simply wrote a formula on the edge of the page: The limit approaches infinity.
Two days later, the citywide mock exam officially began.
This is the most important full-scale mock exam before the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE). The exam room setup and the strictness of the invigilation are completely in line with the NCEE.
The Chinese and Math exams in the morning proceeded smoothly. Lin Yu, as usual, handed in his paper half an hour early, leaving a group of students scratching their heads in frustration.
2:30 PM. Science exam.
Examination Room 7.
Lin Yu sat in the first row by the window. Xia Zijing sat directly behind him. Su Qingwan sat in the fourth row.
The proctors were a man and a woman. The man was in his thirties, with dark skin, and a name tag on his chest read: Zhang Qiang.
Try curling your hair.
Lin Yu glanced at the questions. There were a huge number of questions, and the calculations were complicated, especially the final physics question, which had three interconnected traps.
He uncapped his pen and began writing directly on the answer sheet. There was no scratch paper, no pauses. The pen tip made a remarkably rhythmic scratching sound on the paper.
Time passed by, second by second.
