Chapter 22 Threat
Two days later, it was time for the small test.
Xi Hua, the mother, was even more nervous than Xi Yu, who was about to take the exam. Xi Yu could only helplessly comfort her: "Mom, this is just the first small test of the school year, don't be too nervous."
Xi Hua wanted to encourage her, but was afraid of putting pressure on her, so she quickly said, "Mom is not nervous, and Xiaoyu, don't put too much pressure on yourself! No matter how you do on the exam, Mom won't blame you. Mom knows you've worked very hard during this time."
Xi Hua has witnessed her daughter's changes and is very pleased that her daughter has begun to become more sensible.
The exam lasted three days, with only two subjects tested each day.
The exam was far too easy for Xi Yu. With her extraordinary memory, all the books seemed to be imprinted in her mind, and every word was so clear.
Three days later, Fang Qianyou, as if all her vitality had been drained, slumped limply on the table and wailed.
"Waaah, the exam was so hard! I couldn't answer so many of the questions... How did you do on your Chinese exam?" Fang Qianyou pouted and looked up at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu unwrapped a piece of fruit candy, popped it into Fang Qianyou's mouth, and casually said, "It's alright."
While the two were talking, the head of the grade and Teacher Zheng suddenly appeared in the classroom. They solemnly asked Xi Yu to go with them to the administration office.
Xi Yu gave Fang Qianyou a reassuring look, and then, under the watchful eyes of her classmates, she went out with Director Chen.
"Xi, these are your scores on this quiz. You did very well."
Director Chen pushed a report card onto the table in front of Xi Yu.
Xi Yu glanced at it and saw that every subject had a score of 98 or above, almost a perfect score of 100.
"Is there a problem with these grades?" Xi Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Teacher Zheng, who was smiling strangely beside her.
"Your grades in the past two years haven't even reached the passing grade, so why did you suddenly do so well this time?" Director Chen said bluntly, almost pointing his finger at her and accusing her of cheating.
"Because I studied hard," Xi Yu replied calmly, adding, "I didn't cheat."
“No student brought before me will admit to cheating.” Director Chen’s sharp gaze fell on her nonchalant face.
"Alright, I wonder what makes Director Chen accuse me of cheating?" Xi Yu shrugged and took a step back before speaking.
"Teacher Zheng witnessed you cheating during the exam, and afterwards we found a small cheating device hidden in your exam seat," Director Chen stated their so-called evidence in a serious and methodical manner.
With the advancement of technology, more and more inventions that make life more convenient have been developed, and this cheating device is one of them.
Xi Yu raised her hand to her chin and asked him teasingly, "Then I'd like to ask Teacher Zheng, why didn't you catch me red-handed the moment you saw me cheating? Why did you wait until after I left to say that you found cheating tools on my seat? That kind of evidence is completely untenable, isn't it?"
Her careless attitude displeased Director Chen, who increasingly believed she was behaving improperly and was more inclined to suspect she had cheated. He righteously rebuked her: "As a teacher, Teacher Zheng has no reason to frame you! As for you, Haiying High School never tolerates students who make mistakes, especially those who are unrepentant!"
"I'm giving you one last chance. If you admit to cheating, I can handle it leniently. Otherwise, you'll have to be expelled!" Director Chen didn't give Xi Yu a chance to argue and directly convicted her.
"Then I'll say it one last time—I didn't cheat. If Director Chen insists on framing me, then I can only ask the people of the Empire to uphold justice for me," Xi Yu said calmly.
