Weiming Middle School.
The "School Flower Vote" has ended. In her competition with Song Xinyi, Su Bei finally won with a slight margin.
Her deskmate Dong Wenqi seemed to be more excited about this result than Su Bei herself. "Haha, before some people still dared to say that you won't be the one who laughs at the end. But now, look, Song Xinyi has lost, and their comeuppance has come so quickly!"
"Wait, wait. Let me use my alt account to post that screenshot I took previously, then ask those Song Xinyi's fans whether they face was hurt or not!" Dong Wenqi became even more and more excited.
"Don't." Su Bei stopped the girl's 'crazy' idea: "You will be besieged by Song Xinyi's fans." It was the fact that Song Xinyi had many fans in school, if Dong Wenqi really ran into the forum to provoke them, they would rip her to shreds.
Listening to Su Bei's advice, Dong Wenqi dispelled the idea, but her expression was still smug. She hummed unresignedly and said with a disdainful tone: "Facing with the hard truth, what else they can say? Even if you win with just one vote ahead, it still proves that you are better than Song Xinyi. Not to mention that you surpassed her by more than 300 votes!"
"Even if those people refused to admit it, you are already our school flower." Dong Wenqi playfully winked at Su Bei: "Congratulations for our classmate Su Bei for winning the 'school flower' title. How are you feeling now?"
Su Bei: "..."
Dong Wenqi: "Well, you definitely will say that you don't feel anything special."
This new deskmate of hers had a somewhat indifferent personality. However, when Dong Wenqi took a closer look at Su Bei, she realized that this girl actually became even more beautiful than when she first got transferred a few weeks ago!
"Seriously speaking, Su Bei, even ignoring other aspects, your face value alone already far much better than Song Xinyi."
Su Bei simply smiled: "You should be careful. Don't let Song Xinyi's fans hear it."
Regarding the result of this school flower vote, some people felt happy, while there were naturally some who didn't. The most unhappy of them were Song Xinyi's fans. Especially after the results came out, Song Xinyi posted a public status: [It's a pity] with a selfie of goddess Song's sad face, with an attached video recording of her practicing piano in the music room.
No further explanation, but everyone who saw this knew that Song Xinyi was sad about the 'opening performance.' Suddenly, a lot of voices questioned Su Bei in the school forum.
[ Did I suddenly become blind? Su Bei actually won over Song Xinyi! ]
[ Nope, it's not you, but those who voted for Su Bei who are blind. ]
[ I don't want to watch this year's opening performance. I'm afraid I may become blind.]
[ I suggest to let Song Xinyi perform right after the opening. Having a straight contrast will make it more exciting and wake up people who still pretend to be asleep]
......
At the same time, an anonymous account created a new vote next to the 'School Flower Vote': [A prize for those who guessed right. What will be the result of Su Bei's 'opening performance'?
A. The most laughable comedy show of this century
B. The epic scene of a failed musical performance
C. Weiming Middle School 315 counterfeit exposing scene(1)]
Soon after the new vote went online, its popularity has already approached the "School Flower Vote."
"Are you also giving a vote?" Su Bei jokingly asked, seeing Dong Wenqi was busy with the mobile phone.
"No, I'm scolding them."
"Then, Su Bei, are you really going to play the piano for the 'opening performance'?" Dong Wenqi raised her head to ask.
"Yeah."
"How brave! Su Bei, you are really brave!" Dong Wenqi made a 'worship' gesture towards Su Bei.
No wonder Song Xinyi's fans were so fierce on the forum. Initially, Song Xinyi was also preparing to play piano this year. Unexpectedly, not only her chance to perform at the opening was snatched by Su Bei, but the new girl was also going to play piano. Not only Dong Wenqi, many people, after they knew Su Bei's plan for the 'opening performance', were thinking that Su Bei was deliberately going to challenge Song Xinyi.
Towards everyone's guess, Su Bei only had one comment: "You all are overthinking."
She chose the piano simply because that was the only art talent that she had enough mastery. If not piano, should she really went on to the stage to recite "Very quietly I take my leave..."?
"Tell me honestly," Dong Wenqi suddenly looked at Su Bei with a serious face. "Do you think you can beat Song Xinyi?"
"I don't know." Su Bei answered truthfully: "But I don't think that I need to compare with her." Even if Song Xinyi still wanted to do her piano performance, the school might not necessarily agree to let two piano performances in succession.
Dong Wenqi: It seemingly made sense.
"Then, how is your preparation?"
"Not bad."
Su Bei directly gave her piano teacher the song she planned to perform on the school founding anniversary, so teacher Zhu could formulate a crash course for her. The solution: broke the song into small parts, and came every day to supervise Su Bei's practice.
Now Su Bei's play wasn't as stiff as the beginning. She could try playing the whole song by herself in the next few days after teacher Zhu's lesson.

When Dong Wenqi browsed the forum, she suddenly found a new post.
"Which idiot posted this!" She scolded angrily.
Previously, the students in their school have gossiped about Su Bei and Su Xiaobao being an upstart. Later, after Liu Kai and Chen Zian spread the news about the '77777 car' they saw picking up the twins that day, no one said that they were upstart anymore. However, now there was a new conjecture: Su Bei and Su Xiaobao were the illegitimate children of a certain family.
Su Bei wanted to admire the imagination of these people. They almost guessed right this time. Were she and Su Xiaobao the illegitimate children of Mr. Qin? Hard to say—although who knew what would be in the future.
The post that Dong Wenqi saw not only used various 'evidence' to prove that Su Bei and Su Xiaobao were illegitimate children, they also compiled a very spectacular dog-blooded(1) background story for the twins.
"You said it was an idiot's doing, yet still reading it, are you not afraid of damaging your IQ?" Su Bei commented indifferently. She withdrew her eyes and continued to do her homework.
Uncle Fu had just sent a message, telling them that he would pick her and Su Xiaobao up today. Although she didn't know the reason, Su Bei decided to finish her homework early.

On the other side of the classroom, Liu Kai and his group were also busily scolding the same post.
Liu Kai: "Fuck! This account is so stupid. I just helped Su Xiaobao and Su Bei dispel the rumor, and now a new one has been out."
Du Yiming: "Tsk, it was not yesterday you know how low their IQ is."
Chen Zian: "But this story seems to be too fake? Even dog blood drama won't dare to film it. Which idiot make this?"
Liu Kai: "I don't know, it's an anon user."
"Check who did it." Suddenly, Xie Minxuan woke up and said with a cold voice.
"Right, our group still have a master!"
"Hey! Xu Yangyang, brother Xuan order you to work." Liu Kai kicked Xu Yangyang's chair.
Xu Yangyang turned his head a bit dumbfoundedly: "Check what?"
"The one who posted this. They use an anonymous account. Can you see which idiot did it."
"Ah, it's easy." Xu Yangyang took the phone and quickly cracked the anon's information: "Well, it's Yang Yanyi, from class 8-6."
"Awesome!"
"But, old Xu, what are you busily watching since this morning? Is it a school tutorial? Why do you look so absorbed?" Xu Yangyang didn't even listen to their conversation.
"School tutorial your ass. I'm watching my god [Q]'s level clearance recording."
"Who is that god [Q]? Shaquille O'Neal?"
"Not the NBA, it's from the Red Hacker Master Challenge."
"The hacker competition you told us before? What kind of god is that god [Q]?"
"Say red hacker!" Xu Yangyang emphasized the word 'red' before showing them the 'Red Hacker Challenge' ranking list on his mobile phone.
The boys quickly came to see that [Q] was in the seventh place: "Seventh? Just that? I thought you need to be at least in the top three to be called a god."
"You don't understand, other people at most can only be called master, but [Q] is the true god! Although the higher ranking may have a bit more points than god [Q], the time they need to clear the level on average is more than six hours, but look at god [Q]." Xu Yangyang clicked on the data of [Q].
"1 hour and 3 minutes?!" Everyone was surprised. Although they didn't understand, it seemed pretty awesome.
"Who is this [Q]? Do you know him?"
Xu Yangyang frowned slightly: "I'm not sure. Many people are currently analyzing god [Q]'s style. However, we still haven't find the characteristics of other great gods yet. But some people guess that [Q] might be god Wei."
"Who is that again?"
"A legendary existence in our circle."
Other boys: The field was different. It was too deep, and we couldn't comprehend.
Liu Kai: "Then, old Xu, how high is your rank?"
Xu Yangyang: ...
Xu Yangyang: "If you don't ask, we can still be a buddy."

In the afternoon, Su Bei and Su Xiaobao were picked up earlier. When they arrived at Jingyuan, Mr. Qin was already waiting. Seeing Qin Shao came home so early, Su Bei was somewhat surprised, but soon she guessed that the reason they had to come back earlier might be related to him.
"Dad?"
"Mm." Qin Shao had been used to this title and replied very naturally.
"Is something happen?" Su Bei asked.
Qin Shao raised his eyebrows and secretly mused: pretty smart.
"Change your clothes. There is a place we need to visit."
As for where, Mr. Qin did not say, and Su Bei did not ask either.

Mr. Qin took Su Bei and Su Xiaobao to the local police station where his household registration was. His assistant had made an appointment in advance. The process was very smooth. When they came out, Mr. Qin's household account book had two more pages with Su Bei and Su Xiaobao's registration. The 'relationship' column was written 'father and daughter' and 'father and son' respectively.
Su Bei has two new ID cards in her hand. One was hers, and one was Su Xiaobao's. No, he should be called Qin Yu now. 'Qin Yue' and 'Qin Yu,' Su Bei's eyes fell on these two names. She looked at them repeatedly, the corner of her mouth unconsciously raised.
These were the new name given to them by Qin Shao. The novel's extra chapters wrote: Su Xiaobao was finally sent to prison, and Su Bei died in the hand of a perverted director. Now, did changing their names would also change their bad end future? This thought made Su Bei's smile widened even more.
Mr. Qin did not know what was in Su Bei's mind right now. He glanced through the rear-view mirror and saw the girl holding two ID cards with a wide smile. The corner of Mr. Qin's lips also arched slightly.
"Wait until home to look again." He reminded Su Bei. Wasn't she afraid her eyesight might be worsening because she was reading in a car?
"Okay, Dad."
