Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 40 : Ye Feng’s Highlight, Lin Xiaowan’s Imagination!

After spending two consecutive days in tense exams, Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu quickly gathered around Su Lin with their answer sheets as the final science comprehensive exam ended.

“Su Lin, what about your answers?” asked Lin Xiaowan.

Su Lin replied with a deadpan expression, “The results will be out in an hour at most. What’s the rush?”

Lin Xiaowan bit her lip and said, “You’ve already outperformed us in math and English, I want to see if you’ve also made such great progress in science.”

Xia Shiyu nodded in agreement, “Exactly, Su Lin. You got all the math questions right, and Xiaowan and I made mistakes. You might very well be the top scorer in the entire school this time.”

Su Lin said indifferently, “Being first is no big deal. Xiaowan has been the top for three years.”

“What’s so great about being first for three years? I’ve been studying every day, and yet you, often distracted, still manage to do so well,” Xiaowan retorted.

“Heh, I admit you study, but most of the time you’re reading extracurricular books, right?” Su Lin chuckled.

Lin Xiaowan frowned but didn’t continue the argument with Su Lin.

She began checking her answers against those copied from Su Lin. The answers to the simple questions were all the same, and soon they reached the short-answer questions.

Lin Xiaowan soon furrowed her brows, “I got the last physics question wrong again. Su Lin, how did you answer it? I saw you finished in less than an hour, and you got all the physics questions right.”

“Even biology is all correct. I got two biology questions wrong, sigh~!!” Xia Shiyu was also disheartened by Su Lin’s performance.

“What about chemistry? Let’s see,” Xiaowan suggested.

Su Lin, somewhat reluctantly, checked the chemistry answers with them. Both Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu soon discovered they had made mistakes again, while Su Lin was correct. They exchanged glances, both shocked. Su Lin had scored full marks in math and all four science subjects.

“Su Lin, you…” Xiaowan began.

Su Lin gestured with his hand, “I just have good luck.”

Lin Xiaowan lightly kicked Su Lin’s shin, “Luck? What kind of luck allows someone to get the hardest questions right?”

“The last physics question is not meant for humans; Xiaoyu and I both got it wrong.”

Xia Shiyu nodded in agreement.

Su Lin looked helpless.

At that moment, Wang Yi arrived at the classroom door. He looked at the noisy classroom and called out loudly, “Where’s Ye Feng? Ye Feng, where are you?”

“Teacher, I’m here,” Ye Feng responded.

Wang Yi beckoned, “Come with me to the office.”

“Oh~!!”

As Ye Feng was called away by Wang Yi, the classroom suddenly quieted down, followed by even more lively discussions.

“I heard Ye Feng did quite well in Chinese this time, scoring over a hundred points.”

“Heh… I heard from a student in the next class that our class has a dark horse, and it’s Ye Feng. He scored over 130 in math.”

“Ah… What do you think Wang Da Pao called Ye Feng to the office for?”

“Must be cheating, right? The teacher’s taking him to the office to explain.”

The students exchanged words, almost concluding Ye Feng’s situation. Su Lin and the others also heard these discussions. Xia Shiyu’s face showed no expression, appearing indifferent. Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan exchanged glances, both seeing something flicker in each other’s eyes as they had a bet going on.

“If Ye Feng cheated, you lose too,” Xiaowan whispered to Su Lin.

Su Lin nodded, “Of course.”

“What are you and Su Lin talking about, Xiaowan?” Xia Shiyu asked curiously.

Thinking of Su Lin’s bet, Xiaowan’s face turned red, then she shook her head, “Nothing.”

“Oh~!!!”

A few minutes later, Ye Feng and Wang Yi returned to the classroom, with Wang Yi holding a stack of papers. Ye Feng glanced at Feng Yifei, then returned to his seat.

“Quiet down, everyone. The scores for all subjects are out, and the science comprehensive results will be released before school ends this afternoon. This monthly test has seen both dark horses and students who regressed. I will now call names to collect the math papers.”

The class quieted down again, tense before the results were announced.

“Su Lin… 150.”

“Damn! Awesome, Su Lin went all out, a full score.”

“So strong, a full score in math, is he even human?”

“…”

Su Lin ignored the students’ exclamations, walked up to the podium to get his paper.

“Lin Xiaowan… 145.”

“Xia Shiyu… 132.”

“…”

“Ye Feng….. 130.”

As Ye Feng’s score was announced, the class erupted.

“That can’t be true, can Ye Feng really score 130? He never passed math before.”

“Exactly, absolutely fake.”

Feng Yifei stood up, “Impossible, absolutely impossible. I don’t believe it. Ye Feng must have cheated. Teacher, I suspect Ye Feng of cheating.”

As soon as Feng Yifei spoke, the class quieted down and everyone looked at Wang Yi, waiting for him to say something.

Wang Yi cleared his throat, “Ye Feng did not cheat, at least not in math. I just questioned him in the office, and his score is indeed the result of his efforts.”

“Ridiculous, how long has school started? From failing to scoring 130, do you believe that, Teacher Wang?”

Ye Feng saw everyone doubting him, and he felt secretly elated inside, his hidden desire to show off stirring. He stood up, “I did these problems myself, no copying involved.”

“Heh, would a thief admit he’s a thief? Would a madman admit he’s mad?” Feng Yifei sneered.

Wang Yi, “This…” What to do now?

That’s when Lin Xiaowan stood up, “Teacher Wang, it’s simple to verify if Ye Feng did the paper himself. Just give him a problem to solve on the spot. If he solves it, he proves his innocence; if he can’t, then his score is questionable.”

“Right, the class president is correct. Solve it on the spot, or it’s cheating.”

“Exactly, the president is right.”

Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan, who returned a bright smile. He smiled faintly, “Xiaowan, you still haven’t given up, have you?”

Xiaowan whispered, “It’s indeed suspicious. Originally failing, and now scoring 130, would you believe it?”

Su Lin nodded, “I believe.”

“Why?”

Su Lin smiled, “Because the power of love is great.” After saying this, he gazed intensely at Lin Xiaowan causing her heart to flutter.

She understood the meaning behind Su Lin’s words, combined with his gaze. So, Su Lin’s excellent exam results this time, could it be because of her?Su Lin’s previous scores were good, but not this exceptional. Now, suddenly scoring so well, what else could it be if not for her?

No wonder Su Lin kept emphasizing the power of love, Xiaowan became confused. Is the power of love really that strong? If she also had a romance, would her grades improve too? Xiaowan suddenly realized she was thinking of inappropriate things, hurriedly banished them from her mind, and then glared fiercely at Su Lin.

Su Lin: “???”

“Women, so mysterious~!!”
