Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Exclusive RevealShi Yaoguang had no idea of the torment Shi Yiqing was going through at this moment. To her, the difficulty of the exam paper was not much different from simple addition. The only difference was that the answer to one plus one was simpler, whereas the exam answers were more complex. The worlds she had quickly traversed were not for nothing; she had walked the path of technological nation-building no less than ten times. Even without such experiences, with her intelligence from her first life, she would breeze through these problems. Yet she seemed destined to play the role of cannon fodder. She was endowed with countless treasures but had her all energies sealed away. Thinking back on that feeling now, she still felt suffocated. Fortunately, everything was different now. ... Less than twenty minutes into the exam, Shi Yaoguang had finished her paper. Shi Yiqing’s mentality shifted from initially worrying that Yaoguang might actually do well, to later thinking she was randomly filling in answers. Now, as she watched Yaoguang rise to turn in her paper, she thought Yaoguang must be ready to give up hope. Thinking that Yaoguang had given up on herself, Shi Yiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time as she relaxed, she couldn’t help but think. How was she going to salvage her own reputation? The things Yaoguang said had heavily damaged it. If she couldn’t smooth things over, her reputation would be completely ruined. Not just hers, but also Brother Sicheng’s reputation would be compromised! Every time she thought of Yaoguang comparing her to a tryout palace maid, she couldn’t help but curse her in her heart. What gave Yaoguang the right? To treat her as a tryout palace maid, did Yaoguang even qualify? In what era were there still tryouts... In her heart, Shi Yiqing ridiculed Yaoguang inside and out, yet couldn’t come up with a good solution. After finishing the exam, her face was filled with worry. Usually, showing such an expression would immediately attract no fewer than three Flower Guardians to console her. But now. This previously foolproof tactic was useless! Even with a face as sour as a bitter melon, not a single person showed concern for her. As she was going crazy inside, a girl with twin ponytails slyly approached her. "Shi Yiqing~" Seeing her, Shi Yiqing’s face grew even darker. She hadn’t forgotten that this person sided with Yaoguang! The girl with twin ponytails, noticing Shi Yiqing ignoring her, wasn’t a bit embarrassed. Instead, she said in an all-too-familiar tone, "Shi Yiqing, is what your sister said earlier true?" "It’s not!" Shi Yiqing yelled angrily. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If it’s not, then it’s not. Why are you so fierce?" The girl with ponytails rubbed her ears and whimpered, "Even if you’re annoyed and refuse to admit it, I know what she said must be true." Shi Yiqing glared at her, "If you’ve already got your answer, why bother asking me?" "Of course, to check with you, in case I misunderstood," she said confidently. "I, Cheng Lingdang, am not someone easy to deceive. I have my own judgment of right and wrong!" After finishing her words, Cheng Lingdang looked her up and down with a critical gaze, clicking her tongue and displaying her disgust openly, "Just look at you, why do you have to lie to people?" Shi Yiqing became furious, "Who did I lie to?" "You lied to your sister!" Cheng Lingdang snorted, "Do you dare say that this unreliable story about a tryout marriage isn’t something you made up to deceive her?" Shi Yiqing pursed her lips, "I didn’t!" She had never mentioned anything about a tryout marriage! That was entirely Yaoguang’s fabrication. Cheng Lingdang didn’t believe her words at all. "Just because you say it’s not the case doesn’t make it so. Why don’t you explain then, if you weren’t trying out marriage for Shi Yaoguang, what business do you have getting involved with Quan Sicheng?" "If I remember correctly, the marriage alliance between the Shi Family and Quan Family has always been with Shi Yaoguang from the start, hasn’t it?" Shi Yiqing’s words caught in her throat. She indeed wanted to explain, but how could she? Was she to claim that her relationship with Quan Sicheng was true love? That kind of reasoning, could only fool those who chose to be blind. To anyone who could reason, it made no sense at all. Shi Yiqing was no fool; she only showcased what she believed she could afford to reveal. After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, she finally decided to tacitly accept the "trial marriage" situation. There was no choice; she had to swallow this bitter pill. If she refused to acknowledge it, her reputation would only get worse. "You’ve misunderstood, it’s not like what Sister described..." Even though she had resolved to take responsibility, she couldn’t help but defend herself a little. Cheng Lingdang looked at her stuttering halfway through her explanation and couldn’t help rolling her eyes, "If it’s not like what Shi Yaoguang said, then explain. If you don’t explain, how can we know what’s really going on?" Shi Yiqing bit her lower lip, "Actually, it’s a misunderstanding..." "Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding leads you, the future little aunt, to end up in bed with your sister’s fiancé? Was it a drunken mistake or a long premeditated plan?" Cheng Lingdang’s words were quite explicit. Shi Yiqing turned pale, closed her eyes, and adopted a determined expression, "Brother Sicheng and I have known each other since we were kids..." "Hold on!" Cheng Lingdang interrupted her emotional claim, "You’re not about to say that because you’ve known each other since you were kids, something must have happened a long time ago, are you?" Shi Yiqing hesitated, then nodded slightly. "Tsk," Cheng Lingdang smacked her lips, "you might not know, but recently there was a hot topic chart circulating online, all about green tea bitches." "Every ambiguous thing you’ve said, it’s all on that list." "Of course, that’s not to say I think you’re a green tea bitch, don’t get me wrong." Cheng Lingdang’s clarification was more damaging than not having one at all. Listening to this, Shi Yiqing’s face turned even darker, and the expressions of the other students were equally vivid. "Cheng Lingdang makes such convincing arguments. Isn’t Shi Yiqing’s behavior just like that of a green tea bitch?" "I don’t think so. She has always been a good girl." "Ha, that’s why you’re a naïve guy. You can’t even spot such an obvious green tea bitch." "..." Listening to these discussions, Shi Yiqing’s face turned as pale as death, and she seemed on the verge of collapse. Yet Cheng Lingdang was only fanning the flames. "Shi Yiqing, you’ve seen the forum, haven’t you?" Shi Yiqing’s complexion changed slightly, "The forum?" Cheng Lingdang chuckled, "You better go take a look, tsk, it’s so thrilling." A quick-handed classmate had already opened up the forum and saw the content inside. #Exclusive Exposé! Campus Heartthrob Quan Sicheng Turns out to be Impotent? Sisters in a Trial Marriage, the Answer is Unexpected——# The well-intentioned classmate brought the phone screen to Shi Yiqing’s view. After seeing the headline, Shi Yiqing’s vision went dark. "Qingqing, are you okay?" The tall, thin boy sitting to the right of Shi Yaoguang supported her, asking with concern. "I, I’m okay..." Weakly responding, Shi Yiqing then saw a commotion at the door. "It’s Quan Sicheng!" Someone shouted out the identity of the newcomer. With a dark face, Quan Sicheng stood at the classroom door, glanced inside with a grim expression, "Where’s Shi Yaoguang?"
