Chapter 91: Sensational Scores

Chen Yushu looked at the test paper that Chu Mengyao had defaced and couldn't help but shudder. How could she be so ruthless! However, thinking about Lin Yi's expression when the scores were announced, Chen Yushu couldn't help but secretly chuckle.

Lin Yi didn't expect his test paper to end up in Chu Mengyao's hands. He just thought Chen Yushu was playing around and gave him Chu Mengyao's test paper, so he didn't pay much attention.

"Boss, whose test paper did you grade?" Kang Xiaobo turned around and asked casually.

"Uh... Chu Mengyao's..." Lin Yi said somewhat awkwardly.

"What? No way!" Kang Xiaobo's eyes widened as he looked at the name on the test paper in Lin Yi's hand, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Is this real? How did her test paper end up in your hands? Didn't she and Chen Yushu exchange papers to grade?"

"How would I know? Chen Yushu gave me this one!" Lin Yi shrugged.

"It must have been a mistake!" Kang Xiaobo exclaimed: "Boss, you're really lucky! How many boys in the class would want to see Chu Mengyao's test paper but can't? Yet it ended up in your hands."

Lin Yi smiled but didn't explain... This matter really couldn't be explained. Could he tell Kang Xiaobo that Chen Yushu did it on purpose? If he did, Kang Xiaobo would definitely ask why Chen Yushu would do it on purpose, and then their strange relationship would inevitably be exposed.

Lin Yi was still very serious about grading Chu Mengyao's test paper. Although Chu Mengyao was always fierce towards him, Lin Yi knew that most of the time she was just being tough on the outside. Especially after that night when Chen Yushu called him to have dinner together, Lin Yi could see that Chu Mengyao was actually a good person, just a bit spoiled.

Although Chu Mengyao's academic performance was good, her test paper still had some mistakes. While grading her right and wrong answers, Lin Yi also organized her wrong answers on the back of the test paper and wrote down detailed correct solutions, even more detailed than what the teacher explained on the podium.

What surprised Lin Yi was that Chu Mengyao actually solved the last bonus question, and her solution was exactly the same as what the teacher explained on the podium. It seemed this girl worked hard!

However, Lin Yi knew another solution method. He wasn't sure if the teacher hadn't noticed or thought that knowing one basic solution method was enough for such a bonus question. Lin Yi's more straightforward method wasn't mentioned.

Of course, no one in the class raised any objections. The bonus question was already quite difficult and beyond the syllabus. Few people could solve it, let alone solve it correctly.

Lin Yi wrote the other solution method he knew on the back of the test paper, then flipped it to the front and calculated the score, which was 139 points, a high score.

The test questions during regular exams were usually harder than those in the actual college entrance exam. This was a common practice in key high schools to make students' overall performance better and to create more pressure and urgency.

After explaining the last bonus question, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Liu, asked everyone to write the name of the grader on the back of the test paper and pass it forward from the back of the class. This was to prevent anyone from not grading carefully or grading randomly.

Chu Mengyao gave Lin Yi a zero, angrily signed her name at the end of the test paper, and thought: "Hmph, even if Lin Yi sees it, he won't dare to come and bother me!"

When recording the scores, Chen Yushu held Lin Yi's test paper, smiled slyly, and said to Mr. Liu: "Lin Yi, 0 points."

"Huh?" Mr. Liu was taken aback, and not only Mr. Liu, but also the other students who were listening carefully to the scores were stunned! For years, no one had ever given a zero score! Unless it was for cheating, which would result in the score being nullified, or even if someone guessed randomly, it was impossible to get a zero!

"Who graded the paper?" Mr. Liu frowned.

"Chu Mengyao," Chen Yushu said with a smile.

Mr. Liu nodded. She vaguely knew that Lin Yi seemed to have a connection with the school board member, Chu Pengzhan, and Chu Mengyao was Chu Pengzhan's daughter. Although these two didn't seem to have any interaction at school, who knew why Lin Yi was here?

And since he arrived, he had a severe conflict with Chu Mengyao's suitor, Zhong Pinliang. The complexity of the situation was something Mr. Liu didn't want to get involved in. These young masters and princesses were the hardest to manage.

So, when she heard that Chu Mengyao had graded the paper, Mr. Liu didn't say anything more.

Chen Yushu's voice wasn't loud, but the class was very quiet, so everyone heard what she said and couldn't help but look at Lin Yi with sympathy. The boys were thinking, how did Lin Yi offend Miss Chu to get a zero? What bad luck!

The girls, however, were somewhat disdainful. Lin Yi looked gentle and had the appearance of a handsome young man from a drama, which made them dissatisfied with Chu Mengyao giving him a zero, but no one dared to say anything to her face.

The most surprised was Lin Yi. When he heard he got a zero, his expression was indescribably strange. But he also roughly guessed that his test paper was graded by Chu Mengyao. Such a magical result wasn't surprising!

Otherwise, even if he intentionally got a few questions wrong, he wouldn't have gotten a zero! Looking at Chen Yushu's mischievous smile, Lin Yi was speechless. Zero points, so what? Is it really that worth celebrating?

Kang Xiaobo knew that Lin Yi had graded Chu Mengyao's test paper. When he heard Chen Yushu say that Lin Yi's test paper was graded by Chu Mengyao, his mouth opened into an "O" shape, just like the score on Lin Yi's test paper.

There must be something going on! How could it be such a coincidence? Kang Xiaobo turned around and looked at Lin Yi with a probing gaze. Although Chu Mengyao gave Lin Yi a zero, this only made the situation more suspicious. If there was nothing between them, why would Chu Mengyao single out Lin Yi?

Seeing Kang Xiaobo's inquiring gaze, Lin Yi smiled bitterly and shrugged, indicating his innocence.

However, Kang Xiaobo was puzzled. Lin Yi's expression showed his innocence, and although Kang Xiaobo initially thought there was something going on between Lin Yi and Chu Mengyao, now that he thought about it, there was no possibility! Lin Yi had only transferred a few days ago and hadn't even spoken a word to Chu Mengyao. How could there be anything between them?

Could it just be a coincidence?

Kang Xiaobo shook his head and turned back. Although Lin Yi's zero score shocked the whole class, it was only a momentary shock. Next, everyone focused on their own scores.
