Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Flattery ExpertThe academic performance of Sicheng had never been the most outstanding. He even took a leave of absence for some time to set up Qingtian Entertainment. This company was launched like a joke, but let’s not talk about that, in the end, his scores were mediocre as everyone else’s. Instantly, he became the laughingstock of everyone. Sicheng himself was very resistant to this. If he could choose, he would also want to achieve good grades. But scores aren’t something he could get just by wishing for them. No choice, even if he was depressed in his heart, he could only hold it in and say nothing. However, Shi Yiqing was extremely indignant. "They’re too much, aren’t they? What right do they have to laugh at Brother Sicheng?" With her cheeks puffed out, Shi Yiqing said angrily, "When they were ingratiating themselves with you, why didn’t they say these things? Now it’s so easy for them to criticize after the fact, it’s really disgusting." After a furious tirade, she continued, "Brother Sicheng, don’t be sad, they’re just saying these things to deliberately sour you." "Even though your grades aren’t the best, at least they’re better than theirs. They’re just all talk, but in reality, they are nothing!" Listening to her fervent words, Sicheng was not particularly comforted. He looked at Shi Yiqing and sighed softly, "Qingqing, do you think... am I really that terrible?" Ever since his identity was revealed, everyone looked at him as if watching a joke. In the past, when he was still an adopted child of the Quan Family, even if people envied his good fortune privately, no one dared to say a bad word out loud. But now, the way they looked at him was no different from looking at a rat in the gutter. After the exam results were released, he saw people complaining in a group chat. "The fact that Sicheng is an illegitimate child, the Quan Family previously kept it well hidden, and it’s obvious they really invested in him. Look at Sicheng, after having such great resources, how is it that he turned out like this?"" "Tsk tsk, if it were me, I wouldn’t say I’d be the top scorer, but at least I’d score around seven hundred just for the sake of showing some effort, right?" "There’s a reason why they say ’You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.’" "The Quan Family supported him with all their might, and in the end, hasn’t he turned out to be good for nothing? It’s not that the Quan Family is unwilling to cultivate him, but that he simply can’t be cultivated." "He doesn’t seem like he hasn’t tried. This is probably the limit of his future prospects, huh?" Reading these disconsolate words from everyone, Sicheng’s self-esteem suffered a great blow. At this point, the comforting words from Shi Yiqing could no longer console him. Now his heart was filled with self-defeating emotions. No. No, this won’t do. He must pull himself together. Sicheng thought of something, and his eyes suddenly became determined. Seeing him like this, a glint appeared in the depths of Shi Yiqing’s eyes. "Brother Sicheng~" Sicheng looked at her steadily for two seconds before asking, "Qingqing, do you believe in me?" Shi Yiqing nodded vigorously, looking at him with admiring eyes, "Brother Sicheng, of course, I believe in you." Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "In this world, no one believes in you more than I do." As she said this, her cheeks became flushed, fully portraying a girl deeply in love. However... Both of them were clear about what was different. The crack between them was a gift from Yaoguang. Yet, by mutual agreement, they never mentioned it and continued to interact as before, pretending nothing had happened. ... Yaoguang had no idea about the drama that those ill-fated lovers were currently enacting. At that moment, she was busy with her own affairs. After the high school exam results were out, Ruihe High School and Quan Mansion became the hottest spots. Those who were qualified to visit the Quan Mansion sent their cards directly. Those who weren’t waited outside the school. The recruitment staff of universities were already camping out early at Ruihe High School, ready to seize the opportunity to woo the top scorer of the college entrance examination to their institution. Journalist friends also stood guard with their cameras and microphones, attempting to uncover the day-to-day behavior of the top scorer during their school days. For example... What she usually did at school. What she liked to eat. What she liked to play. What she liked to watch. How her grades improved. And so on. The journalists hovered around the senior students for a while before they realized something. Shi Yaoguang wasn’t a senior student. This year, she was only a junior, having taken the college entrance examination a year early. After coming to this realization, they grabbed their gear and rushed over to the junior class. At this time, the junior class was still in session, and when the people from the specialty class saw such a large group straggling in, they immediately became excited. The class teacher, Ruan Yujiao, couldn’t control the situation as the students’ hearts had already flown away, so she had no choice but to announce an early end to the class. Now, it was like the homing of weary birds. No... Or rather, it would be more apt to say, like wild horses breaking free. Mu Tiantian, in particular, took the lead as a representative, engaging in enthusiastic conversation with the journalists. Not to mention anything else, the material she provided alone was enough for the newspaper to make an entire program. In the mouth of student Mu Tiantian, Shi Yaoguang was a paragon of an all-rounder. Ask her what she could do? Aside from everything, there was no second option. Ask her what she liked? Whatever you ask, she liked it all. Ask her if there was anything she couldn’t do? Mu Tiantian answered with confidence, "Our Yaoguang, so far, hasn’t found anything she can’t do!" The journalists were helplessly swamped by her unbridled flattery. They could only switch to a different topic, "Classmate, are you sure she can really do everything? From what you’re saying, she doesn’t even seem human." Mu Tiantian looked as if it were a matter of course, "Our Yaoguang obviously isn’t a normal person." As she spoke, she gave a look of disbelief to the inquiring journalist, "You tell me, which normal person can do what Yaoguang can do?" Journalist: "What extraordinary things has student Shi Yaoguang done?" Mu Tiantian: "For example, taking a two-month leave in her junior year to act in a movie, and then coming back to participate in the college entrance examination?" Journalist: "That is indeed..." Mu Tiantian: "Not just taking the college entrance exam, but scoring full marks!" Journalist: "..." emmmm, there seems to be nothing left to ask. Not to say anything else, but this alone was enough to astonish people. To be fair, everyone knew about Shi Yaoguang’s prowess. However, Mu Tiantian’s attitude could easily draw negative attention to her. Shen Huan could no longer stand idly by and, with his newly dyed blue hair, he stood up. Mu Tiantian, dissatisfied that he had attracted the attention meant for her, looked at him with a hint of disdain, "What are you doing?" Shen Huan glared at her, "What nonsense are you spouting in front of all these people?" Mu Tiantian glared back at him, "What nonsense have I spoken? Isn’t what I said the truth?" Seeing that she had not understood his point, Shen Huan lowered his voice to warn her, "Talking like this could cause trouble for Shi Yaoguang." Mu Tiantian pouted, "What trouble can it cause? I’m telling the truth. Who among us doesn’t know about Yaoguang’s abilities?"
