198 ??198 The moon amongst the stars

Tan Jing was not happy with that. “It’s easy for you to say. Where will we be able to find the papers now? Also, you need at least one and a half hours to answer one single paper? You want all of us to be waiting for you here?”

The ‘us’ that Tan Jing was referring to was not just her, Tan Rou, and the principal. It also included the students who had rushed over and were looking into the principal’s office.

The principal’s eyes swept outside the door, but he did not say anything. Tan Jing had repeatedly said that these students were the ones who weren’t convinced by Tan Rou’s results. The principal had also planned for the students outside to be the witness of this conflict, just in case Tan Jing went back on her words.

The principal turned his head and said to Tan Jing, “It’s not difficult to find an exam paper. In order to make sure that our exams are fair, there are always two sets of exam papers before the exam and one set will be taken during the exam. There’s still a spare set available now.”

The principal looked out the window and said, “Is that Xu Yan? I remember you’re the class monitor, right? Go to the office and find the other teachers now so that they can bring the extra set of papers.”

Xu Yan hurriedly replied, “Sure! I’ll go right now!” Then, he glanced at Tan Rou before jogging away.

Tan Jing didn’t expect the principal to agree to Tan Rou’s method of self-verification so easily. Although she was a little reluctant at first, she suddenly thought of how Tan Rou would not be able to answer the questions or get all of them wrong in front of all these students. Having the marking teacher mark Tan Rou’s paper on the spot would be quite satisfying. It wouldn’t matter if they had to wait for a while more.

However, she couldn’t let Tan Rou stall for time. She had to quickly make Rou expose her true self. Tan Jing hinted, “You can’t do all the subjects at once, right? How long would you need for that? Tan Rou, which subjects do you plan to retake?”

Tan Rou smiled and looked at Tan Jing coldly. “Why are you so problematic? I’ll take whatever exam I want. Are you going to interfere with that too?”

Tan Jing was furious. She glared at Tan Rou and complained to the principal, “Principal, look at her! She won’t hate me because of this, right? I was just asking out of goodwill, but look at how she’s trying to fight me!”

Li Li was so angry that she couldn’t care less about the principal who was present. She couldn’t help but interrupt from outside the door, “Can you stop acting pitiful? You’re the one who’s been saying everything, the good and the bad. All of us acknowledged Tan Rou’s results! You’re the one who’s being troublesome! Tan Rou has already agreed to your challenge. What else do you want?!”

After Li Li finished speaking, the students around them also started to make a commotion.

Indeed, as Li Li had said, although everyone was surprised and couldn’t believe it, they didn’t doubt Tan Rou. After all, the teachers from their school were the ones who graded the papers. Tan Jing’s actions were a little strange. She maintained an aggressive posture, as if she had to prove something.

Tan Jing secretly hated Tan Rou. In the past, she could have easily incite others with a few words and isolate Tan Rou.

But now, Tan Rou has her own supporters. More and more people were standing on Tan Rou’s side. Her unyielding attitude this time must be very suspicious in their eyes.

However, Tan Jing couldn’t care less. If she didn’t do this, she would lose a lot of people who supported her. Everyone would be attracted by the title of the prodigy that Tan Rou had and no one would remember her.

Since that was the case, Tan Jing might as well go all out and risk it.

After a while, Xu Yan rushed over with a few of the teachers in charge of the exams.

A few teachers looked at the students inside and outside the room in a daze. Xu Yan ran in a hurry and only urged them to find the test papers and bring them to the principal’s office. He didn’t have the time to tell them what happened.

Then, a few teachers saw Tan Rou and walked up to her eagerly. They looked at Tan Rou with a gratified expression. Some of the teachers had a loving look on their faces. “Tan Rou, what are you doing here so early in the morning? you’re such an outstanding child. Come to my office later! We shall have a talk soon!”

There were some teachers who were more reserved. “Why are you tormenting the child? Tan Rou, you mustn’t be too proud of yourself! I have to keep up the good work!”

They said these with eyes that were full of love and admiration for Tan Rou.

Tan Jing watched from the side and almost gritted her teeth. This was the last thing she wanted to see!

Why was Tan Rou getting pampered and loved as if she was the moon amongst the stars? Why are all the teachers staring at Tan Rou as if she was a priceless treasure!

‘If I don’t get her to prove her mistake, she’ll get to enjoy this kind of treatment in school in the future. What face will I have then!’

‘No! Tan Rou must have cheated! Hurry up and let her answer the questions! Quickly expose her!’

Tan Jing said in a hurry, “Teachers, you may not be aware yet but Tan Rou’s results are questionable. The principal have asked you to be here so that Tan Rou can retake the exams to prove herself!”

Tan Jing felt that she had been too anxious after she finished speaking. She smiled awkwardly. “It’ll only be convincing if she can score full marks again in all of her papers…..”
