The paper… The paper that should have fallen under Ye Jian’s desk was bounced back to Ye Ying’s seat and the invigilator who heard it was walking towards her.
“Raise your feet.”
As the invigilator’s voice sounded from above her head, Ye Ying’s legs trembled fiercely, as she slowly raised her feet under the invigilator’s sharp gaze. The note that should have appeared under Ye Jian’s seat was picked up by the invigilator.
“Who gave this to you?”
The invigilator’s voice was solemn and low, like a pail of ice water pouring on Ye Ying’s head, the chills hit her one after another. No, no, no, I must not get anxious; I must not get anxious!
How can I be anxious now! I must calm down!
Ye Ying, who was biting her lower lip, didn’t immediately answer; instead, she quickly thought of how to get out of the situation. Suddenly, Ye Ying narrowed her eyes; they were much gloomier than before.
Since I didn’t manage to flip the note over… then I’ll fight you!
If I can’t get out of this, then you won’t either, Ye Jian!
Ye Ying, who had made up her mind to force Ye Jian not to be able to retake the university entrance examination, came up with the idea that would harm both of them. It was the only way that she could involve Ye Jian in this situation.
The idea coincided with Ye Zhifan’s plan. He understood his own children. Ye Zhifan knew that Ye Ying would not give way easily. He knew she would come up with the worst plan that was likely to harm both sides.
However, he knew it was also the only way he could bring Ye Jian down.
Ye Ying, who had lived up to her father’s expectations, raised her head, her eyes flustered, she stammered, “No, no…no one gave it to me.”
“Seal your test paper, and follow me.” The invigilator didn’t want to waste any more time. He also didn’t want to affect the other candidates, so he took the note and said to another invigilator: “Seal the student’s test paper. I will take her out.”
Even Ye Ying, who was ready to invalidate her math scores, was still a little scared. Her hands subconsciously pressed down her test paper, her lips trembled, and tears kept streaming down her face as she wailed, “I won’t go out, I didn’t cheat!”
“These are the answers to the multiple-choice questions and true or false questions, and these are the calculations steps for the questions in Section C.” The invigilator said as he picked up Ye Ying’s exam slip, “Ye Ying, student of Second Provincial High, you have a note in the exam hall. That alone is enough to say that you’ve cheated.”
Ye Ying immediately turned her paper to Section C, “anxiously,” explained, “I have already done this question. I, I… I, I… I did not cheat, and you can see the handwriting. This is my own handwriting; I did not cheat!”
The handwriting on the note was also her handwriting. The note was not thrown out; how could she be considered cheating? Only those who couldn’t solve the question were considered cheating!
There was a small commotion in the examination hall. Some students turned to look at Ye Ying. Ye Jian, who had not moved, finished her last question. With a small smile on her face, she deliberately turned to look at Ye Ying with a provocative smile.
As soon as their eyes met, Ye Ying looked as if she had found her last hope; she cried: “Ye Jian, come and explain for me! The teacher is going to seal my test paper. Come and help me quickly!”
Then, she said to the invigilator again: “Teacher, I… I have no choice. Please forgive me once. I will not pass the answer to Ye Jian again. Please forgive me. It is her. She doesn’t know how to do the questions, so she begged me to give her the answers.”
“Teacher, Ye Jian and I are cousins. I can’t refuse if my sister begs me…”
