Chapter 131: Results Are Out
Qiao Xi yawned and lazily leaned against the chair. “So what you’re saying is that no matter who loses, we can’t look for Qiao Rou and plead with her to intercede?”
Wang Qing nodded heavily. “Yes!”
Qiao Xi lightly tapped the table with her fingers, then raised her head to look at Qiao Rou. “My good younger sister, did you hear that? You can’t plead on my behalf, so don’t even think about being a saint today.”
Qiao Rou bit her lip and was about to cry. Unfortunately, before anyone could speak up for her, someone shouted from outside, “The results are out! The results are out!”
A representative of an unknown class was holding his phone and shouting, “Come, come, come. Students, quickly log into the university’s website to check your results. I heard that the scores for this year’s test are very different. The good ones are especially good, while the bad ones consist of a variety of grades. There are all kinds of scores, and there are even those who got single digits.”
Wang Qing laughed. “Qiao Xi is probably one of those who got a single digit. How embarrassing.”
With that, she logged into Li City University’s website, entered her student number, and began checking her results. The test this time was indeed very difficult. Those who had good English and some understanding of translation would naturally get good grades. Those who did not know how to translate would probably not even be able to understand the terms.
Hence, there were some who scored above 90 and others who scored about 20. Their scores were not even as high as their age, making them look very pitiful.
Wang Qing saw her score. 98.
The class representative stood on tiptoes to look at the score displayed on her phone screen with an envious look. “F*ck, Wang Qing, you actually got 98 marks? Oh my God, you’re only two marks away from getting full marks!”
Wang Qing revealed a proud smile. “Yes, it has exceeded my usual results. I didn’t expect to obtain such a result either.” After she finished speaking, she glanced sideways at Qiao Xi, who was playing with her phone at the side. She said sarcastically, “I’m guessing you don’t dare to check your results, right? Who was the one who said that one must accept one’s loss again? How did you get slapped in the face so quickly after saying those words?”
The students of Class 3 looked at Wang Qing angrily.
They only found out later that Qiao Xi had also taken part in the English test. Although they did not understand why Qiao Xi had to take the test as a teacher, it did not affect their desire to protect Qiao Xi.
“We don’t know the results yet. Wang Qing, don’t be too arrogant!”
“Back then, you made a bet to compare grades with us. Our teacher joined in midway. As long as one of us got a better score than you, you’ll still be the loser!”
“Better score than me?” Wang Qing laughed out loud. “I’d like to see who has better results than me. Could it be that you scored 99 out of 100? Do you have that ability?”
The students of Class 3 were livid. Although they did not want to admit it, they had to acknowledge that Wang Qing was right. Their classmates were all checking their results. Although everyone had seen improvements in their results, no one did better than Wang Qing.
Someone said bitterly, “I heard that one person scored 100 marks in this test.” They were thinking that if only this person was in their class, Wang Qing would not be so arrogant anymore.
Wang Qing also knew that there was someone who scored 100 marks in this test. It was also because of this person that she did not get first place. Who was this person who got 100 marks?
“I don’t know who this person is. We can’t find any information about this person on the student administration system, but they’re really awesome! The questions were so difficult this time, yet they still got 100 marks.”
“Why didn’t I know that our university has such gods?”
“Ah! Students, what are you guys doing? Hurry up and find the Almighty’s name. In the future when there’s another English test, I’ll worship the Almighty. Maybe I’ll be able to score as well next time.”
Their words were filled with admiration for the god who scored 100. Wang Qing gritted her teeth angrily. A bunch of fence-sitters. They were just praising her for doing well earlier, but now, they were praising the person who scored a higher mark!
In order to attract their attention, Wang Qing walked to Qiao Xi’s side and slammed the table with all her might. “I’m asking you a question. Didn’t you hear me? Are your results out? If they are, quickly fulfill the bet.”
Qiao Xi crossed her legs and tossed her phone onto the table. “I don’t know.”
Wang Qing thought that Qiao Xi was stalling for time, but she forgot that Qiao Xi was a teacher and not a student. The administration system could not check her results.
Someone smacked their forehead. “Right, Qiao Xi can’t check her results!”
Chapter 132: The Only One Who Got Full Marks
Right at this moment, someone shouted from outside the door, “She’s out, she’s out! Qiao Xi’s results are out.”
A boy ran over with a test paper in hand. His face was red from excitement. “Guess what Qiao Xi got?!”
“How many marks could she get? It can’t be a single digit, right?” Wang Qing took a few steps forward, grabbed the paper from the boy’s hand, and lowered her head to take a look. Cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.
How could this be?! Didn’t Qiao Xi not know English? Wasn’t she a good-for-nothing? How could she have such good results?!
The surrounding people were waiting for Wang Qing to speak. They did not expect that she would actually hold onto the test paper and not let go. How many marks did Qiao Xi get? The students could not suppress their eagerness to take the test paper from her. Someone finally snatched the paper from Wang Qing’s hand boldly and looked down. Her expression was similar to Wang Qing’s as if she had seen a ghost.
The other students were even more curious now, but before they could ask, they saw Wang Qing shout excitedly, “One point! Qiao Xi scored one point! Hahahaha, admit your defeat and quickly kneel down!”
When Qiao Rou saw Wang Qing’s expression just now, she thought that something big had happened. Now that she heard Wang Qing say that Qiao Xi had only scored one point, she silently heaved a sigh of relief. She did not even look at the test paper and said to Qiao Xi gently and weakly, “Sister, I wanted to help you resolve your bet with Wang Qing, but you were too stubborn and refused to let me interfere. What should I do now?”
Qiao Xi casually tossed her phone in a carefree manner. “So what do you want? You want me to kneel before Wang Qing now, right?”
Qiao Rou’s eyes flashed. “After all, you agreed to the bet. I wanted to interfere, but you didn’t give me the chance. Now that things have come to this, I can’t help you even if I wanted to. After all, you have to admit defeat. This is the most basic rule in life, right? We have to be honest, don’t we?”
A student who did not know the situation tried to persuade Qiao Rou. “Qiao Rou, you’ve done enough. Qiao Xi doesn’t appreciate your efforts. Don’t be sad because of her. It’s not worth it.”
“That’s right. Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. Since you know that you’re a good-for-nothing, you shouldn’t have made a bet with others. In the end, you lost and don’t want to fulfill the bet. You’re going back on your word. How is such a person worthy to be a teacher in our university?”
“Qiao Xi, if you don’t fulfill the bet today, I’ll definitely report you to the chancellor. I’ll say that you’re unqualified and not worthy to be our teacher!”
Qiao Xi sighed. She only joined Li City University as a substitute teacher because she could not stand Zhou Guanjin’s dawdling. Why were these people always threatening her with reports and complaints?
Qiao Rou looked at the students who voiced out with a look of gratitude, then she frowned and said with a troubled expression, “Sister, now that things have come to this, you should quickly fulfill the bet. Since there aren’t many people at the university gate now, quickly kneel down and apologize. Otherwise, when there are more people at the university gate, you’ll be even more embarrassed.”
Wang Qing rubbed her hands excitedly. She could not wait to see Qiao Xi make a fool of herself. When she thought about how Qiao Xi was about to kneel before her, she was so excited that her entire body trembled. “You lost the bet today, so you have to kneel and apologize to me at the university gate. Qiao Xi, you won’t back down, will you? If I had lost today, I’d definitely kneel at the university gate without saying anything. I wouldn’t be such a sore loser like you.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Oh? Is that so?”
Not everyone in the university knew about the bet between the two of them. Later on, the students who were there to watch the show realized that there was a bet between them. The person with the lower score would have to kneel to the person with the higher score.
Now that Wang Qing’s score was obviously higher, Qiao Xi had to kneel at the university gate to apologize.
Wang Qing was proud of herself. “Qiao Xi, stop wasting time. You’ve talked so much. You won’t run away at the last minute, right?”
Qiao Rou also said, “Sister, we have to be honest. You have to keep your promise to Qing Qing. Our Qiao family has never been sore losers.”
“No… Wait a minute, what are you guys talking about?” The student who was looking at the paper earlier finally came back to her senses. She pointed at the score on the paper and said, “Teacher Qiao Xi clearly scored 100 marks. She scored two more marks than Wang Qing. She’s the only one who scored full marks on our English test!”
The entire classroom seemed to fall silent.
Qiao Rou’s pupils dilated with shock. That student’s words kept repeating in her ears like a recorder. 100 marks… The only perfect score… Qiao Xi…
