Chapter 331: Everyone Likes Rong Qi
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the time Rong Qi returned to university, the morning’s events at the Academic Affairs Office had already spread throughout Capital University.
The highly regarded Rong Feiyu and Su Yifan had failed to gain entry to the Academic and Research Society, while the usual subject of gossip and seemingly useless Rong Qi had succeeded. That left many people perplexed. They couldn’t understand why.
Those in the know remained silent, while those unaware of the details speculated endlessly.
Although the results had already been released, some refused to believe that Rong Feiyu had only scored 58 points and that Rong Qi had achieved a perfect score. It seemed like too great a difference.
In the classroom, everyone sympathized with Rong Feiyu. She had a pale face but refused to speak. Her condition, appearing on the verge of death, only served to further convince people that something was amiss.
“Feiyu, what’s going on? How could you have scored so low? Could it be that Rong Qi’s connections intervened again? Otherwise, how could someone as excellent as you fail to gain entry to the Academic and Research Society?!” Xue Shuyi asked. Her face filled with anger.
Rong Feiyu lowered her head and said, “Shuyi, don’t say that. M-maybe there were only two available slots for the freshmen representatives. Initially, they said only one freshman could enter, but later, Su Yifan and He Jinghan joined as well. It’s also possible that my sister is simply extraordinary. Moreover, during the exam, I had stomach pain and took medicine. 1 just didn’t perform well.”
Rong Feiyu deliberately emphasized that she had taken medicine as if trying to regain a shred of dignity for herself.
Xue Shuyi was completely convinced by Rong Feiyu’s words and conveniently ignored the rest. She lashed out, “Bah! Feiyu, you’re too weak! You let people bully you like this and don’t fight back!”
“All, 1 feel so sorry for Feiyu. It doesn’t matter; you’re excellent enough. You can join next year.”
Rong Feiyu was seething with frustration, but she nodded meekly and said, “It’s alright. 1… don’t mind.”
However, at that moment, He Jinghan entered the room, holding a stack of study materials. When He Jinghan arrived, Rong Feiyu lowered her head even further.
He Jinghan had successfully joined the Academic and Research Society. Immediately, the students in the class gathered around him, asking about today’s situation and whether Rong Qi had cheated.
Rong Feiyu clenched her clothes, biting her lip with a fiery complexion. It felt as if her attempts at redemption were about to be shattered once more. Whenever these situations arose, she couldn’t help but feel humiliated.
However, He Jinghan didn’t even spare Rong Feiyu a glance. He calmly said, “Are you guys suggesting that Rong Qi openly cheated in front of the instructors and representatives from the Academic and Research Society? She scored a perfect score because she deserved it. Accusing others of cheating because you couldn’t perform as well only makes you despicable.”
The last sentence struck deep into Rong Feiyu’s soul. It was as if a massive blow had landed, and if this had happened on any other day, she would have bitten her lip and endured it. However, today, she couldn’t pinpoint where her sudden courage came from.
Rong Feiyu stood up suddenly, her face full of suppressed anger and a sense of injustice as she looked at He Jinghan’s back. She said, “Jinghan, why are you always targeting me? Why does everyone like my sister and not me? What did 1 do wrong? Those in Class 7 don’t like me, and even you treat me so coldly. You speak up for someone from Class 7 but won’t say a word for me. Why?”
This accusation sounded somewhat strange, and even the other students in the class were bewildered. They all wondered why it sounded like a lovers’ quarrel. Everyone remained silent, unsure of what to say, not even Xue Shuyi and her group knew how to respond..
