Chapter 996: Chapter 996 Doubt
But now, Lu Xingzhe actually scored higher than him?
Doesn’t that mean not only can’t he surpass him in academic performance, but he’s also being surpassed instead?
This isn’t what Ling Yuanzhou wants to see.
But the facts are in front of him, and they can’t be changed.
**
After learning about the exam results this time, quite a few people thought Gu Zhiqi getting a perfect score in all subjects might mean she cheated.
Many people in Class One had this thought, as did other classes, and Class Twenty-Nine as well.
Upon learning of the results, Lin Junya quickly returned to Class Twenty-Nine, plopping down on the seat in front of Gu Xiyue with a serious expression, "Yueyue, the overall grade ranking for the mock exams is out."
Gu Xiyue was engrossed in reading, and her expression didn’t change upon hearing Lin Junya’s words, she just responded coolly.
It was Shen Yu, sitting by the side, who glanced at Lin Junya upon hearing her words, "Out already? Our Brother Yue got full marks in all subjects, it’s obvious they’d be first in the grade."
During the early self-study session, the homeroom teacher had come by, but he didn’t mention anyone else’s scores, just Gu Xiyue’s.
Just like at the end of last semester, Gu Xiyue still had full marks in all subjects, which wasn’t surprising for the people in Class Twenty-Nine.
Lin Junya listened, giving him a glare, "Yueyue is indeed first, but this time, there’s someone else who also got full marks and tied for first with Yueyue."
Saying this, she turned to look at Gu Xiyue.
Gu Xiyue, hearing her words, glanced up at Lin Junya.
"Hmm? Besides our Brother Yue, who else could get full marks in all subjects?" Shen Yu looked skeptical, suspecting that Lin Junya was talking nonsense.
"Why don’t you guess, who else could have full marks in all subjects?" Lin Junya said mysteriously.
Shen Yu didn’t bother guessing, lazily leaning back in his chair and said, "I guess you’re seeing things, or maybe there’s something wrong with your head."
Lin Junya: ?
"Who?" Gu Xiyue asked coolly.
That’s what she asked, but in her heart, she had already guessed.
Seeing Gu Xiyue ask directly, Lin Junya didn’t beat around the bush anymore, but looked at Gu Xiyue and said, "Gu Zhiqi."
After saying that, she eagerly watched Gu Xiyue, trying to see her reaction.
But, Gu Xiyue didn’t have much of a reaction, just smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth, then buried her head back into her book.
Seeing this, Lin Junya rested her chin on the desk, looked at Gu Xiyue, "Yueyue, did you and Gu Zhiqi make another bet?"
Gu Xiyue heard this, not even raising her head, just asked, "Why do you ask?"
"Based on what I know of Gu Zhiqi, there’s no way she could score full marks in all subjects, I have reason to suspect that she, to win against you, obtained the answers in advance..."
Before Lin Junya could finish, she saw Gu Xiyue look up.
Her gaze was very cold.
In the past, Gu Xiyue’s gaze was also cold, but it was a detached and not very threatening kind of coldness.
But now, the coldness bursting from Gu Xiyue’s eyes was very sharp, it seemed capable of freezing someone.
"Yue... Yueyue, you... I..."
Before Lin Junya could finish her words, she was interrupted by Gu Xiyue, "I don’t want to hear that kind of talk a second time."
Lin Junya was momentarily stunned.
Is Yueyue... defending Gu Zhiqi?
Gu Xiyue’s eyes were devoid of warmth as she continued looking at Lin Junya, "From what you said, you know her well, are you very familiar with her?"
Lin Junya: "...Not familiar, I’ve only heard some things about her before."
Honestly, she hadn’t really interacted with Gu Zhiqi much.
