Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Being Framed

Now was not the time for talking. Meng Chuyue handed Shen Ci his admission ticket, a set of stationery, and draft paper, then passed him a white teacup. "Drink some water."

"Um," Shen Ci said, indeed thirsty.

He twisted open the bottle cap, took a sip of the tea-colored water, and his eyes brightened, "What did you put in this? Why is it so tasty?"

And the taste lingered in his mouth after he finished.

"This is a kind of herbal tea that refreshes the mind. The ingredients are quite varied, and if you’re interested, I can sell you the recipe later, but let’s not talk about this now. The exam is about to start."

Shen Ci nodded, clutching his things and striding towards Examination Room 8.

Neither of them noticed the jealous and resentful eyes that were fixed on them from Examination Room 5.

Meng Chuyue had just settled into her seat when the bell rang, and to her surprise, she was not the last one to enter; two boys rushed in right at the bell.

Each examination room had fifty seats, arranged in five vertical rows, each row considered a group, with nearly a meter space between each group.

The space between the tables was also over half a meter; it was quite spacious.

Meng Chuyue was seat number 506, which was a relatively discreet position.

The first exam was naturally Chinese.

After receiving the test paper, she briefly skimmed it, confirmed it was exactly the same as in her previous life, then wrote her name, school, and student number, and began to answer the questions earnestly.

When Shen Ci received his test paper, he browsed through it entirely, and his expression gradually deepened.

This year’s Chinese college entrance exam paper resembled Meng Chuyue’s mock exam to a high degree. What did that indicate? Did the teacher behind her have an amazing ability to predict the questions, or was it something else?

Regardless of the reason, Chuyue had been genuinely kind to him. He slightly curved his lips, took another sip of tea, and solemnly wrote his name on the test paper.

Initially, he had planned to deliberately lose a few points to avoid attracting too much attention, but now... he decided he would try his best to become the brightest star in this year’s college entrance examination.

Oh, no, he hoped to be tied for first place with Meng Chuyue.

...

Due to her cautiousness, and also because of the essay, it took Meng Chuyue over forty minutes to finish the entire test paper.

She checked it carefully, and just as she was about to check it again, a wad of paper burst at her feet. As she instinctively looked down, suddenly a shrill and excited female voice rang out in the classroom, "Teacher, someone is cheating."

Meng Chuyue’s eyes darkened. Without a noticeable reaction, she nudged the wad of paper between her feet, flashed her thoughts, and sent it into her space to check it.

Sure enough, it was full of cheat sheets, not to mention typed. If she didn’t have her space, she would definitely be unable to defend herself in a moment.

She squinted her eyes toward the girl who accused her, recognizing that the girl sitting by the window looked somewhat familiar, but couldn’t remember who she was for a moment.

That was when Erhu spoke up from within the space, "She’s also from the Phoenix District; she’s the one who threw the note."

The Phoenix District?

Meng Chuyue recalled for a moment, then realised: it was the female student who had offered Shen Ci the oranges and had been rejected.

She was seat number 504, sitting by the window. She must have seen her intimate interaction with Shen Ci earlier, so out of jealousy, she framed her.

But the cheat sheet used to frame her... was it intended for someone else or for her own use?

Either way, had she dared to frame her?

Well, she was destined to bring trouble upon herself.

As the invigilator approached slowly, Meng Chuyue leisurely used her mind to rub a piece of tissue stained with some ink and placed it between her feet.

Both invigilators were young men around thirty. They came over and first asked the girl named Zuo Tingting, "Who do you say is cheating?"

"Her," Zuo Tingting pointed straightforwardly at Meng Chuyue.
