After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 10
Chapter 10
The afternoon exams didn’t start until one o’clock. After lunch, Wen Yun simply took Ruan Yu to the campus book café.
“It’s quiet here and perfect for relaxing. You can sit for a whole day with a cup of coffee or a plate of dessert,” she introduced to Ruan Yu as they stood at the door. “When school starts, you can come here to study.”
“Look, that’s the lending library,” Lin Qiqi added, pointing to a corner. “They have everything from study guides to the latest popular novels and comics! Our school doesn’t forbid students from reading those things, just don’t get too engrossed in them.”
Ruan Yu had passed this book café many times in her previous life but had never stepped inside.
At that time, knowing her foundation was weak and she couldn’t afford to fall behind the class’s revision schedule, she was racing against time to solve practice questions every day and had no leisure for such a relaxed place.
Today, she had planned to find an empty classroom to study after lunch, but Wen Yun and Lin Qiqi ushered her here, one on each side.
She looked inside curiously. The clock on the wall above the counter had just struck twelve. After hesitating for a few seconds, she entered the door with the two of them.
While Lin Qiqi took Ruan Yu to look at the lending library, Wen Yun bought her a takeaway box of tricolor cookies.
Ruan Yu was startled and instinctively declined: “No, thank you, I had a very filling lunch…”
“Stop,” Wen Yun reminded her. “We finished lunch before twelve, and your exam interval is six hours!”
“Just take them,” Lin Qiqi also advised. “Whether you get hungry or not, having reserve snacks gives you peace of mind, right?”
With the argument stated this way, Ruan Yu knew that refusing would only embarrass Wen Yun. She cautiously accepted the food bag, put it in her backpack, and then took out a set of math practice papers.
Knowing she had two exams in the afternoon, Wen Yun and Lin Qiqi didn’t disturb her revision and proactively moved to a distant table.
“You can nap for a while if you’re tired. We’ll call you when there are about twenty minutes left before the exam,” Wen Yun instructed before leaving.
After sitting down with her at the more distant location, Lin Qiqi still occasionally glanced at Ruan Yu.
“Leaving everything else aside, just looking at her effort for this entrance exam, I think she’s definitely the kind of good student teachers love the most,” Lin Qiqi commented in a low voice.
Wen Yun couldn’t help but smile wryly and took the opportunity to bring up the past: “Now do you know where you went wrong?”
“I have deeply realized my mistake!” Lin Qiqi immediately showed a look of regret. “No wonder you, who are usually so even-tempered, got angry at me!”
After seriously observing Ruan Yu, who was buried in her work, she continued, “However, her appearance still resembles a country b—… a person from the countryside. Those shallow students in our class who judge by looks will definitely mock her for this. Mainly, her skin tone is too dark. If she isn’t resistant to skincare, she should start now.”
Hearing her speak so coherently, Wen Yun couldn’t resist teasing: “You’ve barely interacted with her. How are you more concerned than I am?”
“I’m thinking about reflection and compensation, after all, I said so many bad things about her behind her back,” Lin Qiqi said sheepishly. “And besides, I think her face shape and bone structure are quite good. She’s a hidden beauty. It would be a huge waste not to take good care of her!”
This little villain actually has decent taste, Wen Yun thought.
The protagonist in the original novel was indeed a “hidden gem.” After arriving at the Wen family, to avoid being disliked by her family, she asked the butler for a lot of practical knowledge regarding facial care and figure maintenance.
Even though she endured a lot of sarcasm from the butler, she persisted. Half a year later, she even became the new campus belle on the Langying school forum.
…And because of this, she was fiercely slandered by Lin Qiqi and her malicious clique, who fabricated a whole host of “ex-boyfriends” who coveted her beauty but, being frustrated in love, only dared to anonymously post to smear her reputation.
Thinking of this, Wen Yun couldn’t help but give Lin Qiqi, who was looking down at her phone, a look of resentment.
Lin Qiqi shivered when she felt her gaze and looked up blankly.
“I’ll talk to Xiao Yu about it,” Wen Yun averted her eyes, casually picked up a magazine to flip through, and continued the previous conversation. “But Xiao Yu hasn’t been exposed to skincare before. If she isn’t willing, do you remember what you promised me earlier?”
“Of course!” Lin Qiqi immediately nodded. “I promise I won’t let Xiao Yu hear those rumors!”
As soon as twelve forty-five arrived, Wen Yun put the magazine back and got up, walking toward Ruan Yu, who was deeply engrossed in calculations.
“It’s time for the exam,” she reminded her softly. “Same place to meet later?”
Ruan Yu thought about it and shook her head: “No, the break time is too short. I want to go straight to the English exam room and revise a little more.”
Wen Yun respected the protagonist’s wishes and nodded. “Then be sure to rest and do your best.”
After seeing Ruan Yu off, Wen Yun belatedly thought of a question.
Was the protagonist perhaps too nervous? Her attitude didn’t look like she was taking an entrance exam; it looked more like the Gaokao.
However, maybe this was just the attitude of a top student. The original text also mentioned that the protagonist took every exam seriously.
Not long after Ruan Yu left, Lin Qiqi couldn’t sit still and eagerly asked Wen Yun: “Yunyun, when are we going to see the teacher?”
“Let’s go now,” Wen Yun closed the magazine and stood up. “The scores should be out by now.”
The entrance exam scores were graded immediately, and the process was fast. As long as the candidate requested it, they could know the results about half an hour after the exam.
On the way to the grade-level office, Lin Qiqi said, “I actually went and asked the head teacher. The teacher responsible for grading the Chinese papers is Teacher Mo, and she was also the invigilator… that ‘Old Headmistress’ who taught us in sophomore year!”
Wen Yun had a vague impression. This Chinese teacher, known as the “Old Headmistress,” was very strict. During class, she often scanned the room with a piercing gaze. Her voice was neither loud nor sharp, but her remarks were extremely harsh, criticizing people straight to the point. Even the most troublesome students feared her.
So, she casually continued the conversation: “Then the grading for this exam will certainly be fair and just.”
“I think so too!” Lin Qiqi quickly nodded.
Wen Yun had scoped out the location that morning. Since it was still the summer break, only a young teacher was working on a computer in the grade-level office.
However, when she and Lin Qiqi walked up to the floor where the grade-level office was located, they heard the voices of several teachers:
“This transfer student in Teacher Sun’s class is incredible! Her answers are complete, and her handwriting is beautiful! I’ve never seen a student just entering senior year produce such a perfect paper!”
“Her previous report card looked quite average, who knew she would test this well!”
“Could she have cheated?”
“Not likely, Teacher Mo personally invigilated.”
“Which school did she transfer from?”
“The Third High School in the suburbs. The top student there can only rank in the top fifty at our school.”
“…Are the teachers talking about Xiao Yu?” Lin Qiqi didn’t dare to go over, lowering her voice to ask Wen Yun. “The information all matches up.”
Wen Yun was also stunned. This scene didn’t exist in the original novel at all!
“We’ll know if we ask.” She grabbed the still-hesitant Lin Qiqi, immediately plastered on her working-professional smile, and quickly walked into the office. “Excuse me.”
Most students who attended Langying were not ordinary people, and Wen Yun and Lin Qiqi were both high-achieving children from wealthy families. As soon as they entered, the first teacher who saw them immediately put on a smile.
“Miss Wen and Miss Lin, what brings you here? Please, sit down, sit down!”
“Teacher, are the scores for the first part of the entrance exam out yet?” Wen Yun asked proactively. “I wanted to inquire about our Ruan Yu’s Chinese score.”
She deliberately emphasized “our.” The teachers present understood immediately. A score sheet was quickly passed to her.
Wen Yun took the sheet and first looked at the score. A bright red “137” made her gasp in surprise, almost causing her expression to break.
Even knowing that the entrance exam was not overly difficult, this was a paper issued by an elite school like Langying! And in Chinese, a subject where grading flexibility is very high!
She subconsciously looked at the answer section.
Multiple-choice, memorization, and applied writing questions were all full marks. The answering areas for the modern and classical Chinese readings were filled neatly, with delicate yet firm handwriting that pleased her. Looking at the dense scores for each sub-question, she finally saw the composition, which was graded at 50 points.
Wen Yun was somewhat dazed. She pinched herself to calm down, then scanned the entire answer sheet again, her face showing confusion.
If she had to point out a suspicious aspect of the protagonist’s test, it would be that it was too excellent, so excellent that she thought she was dreaming.
She had just reviewed the subsequent plot regarding the protagonist’s entrance exam scores this morning.
Although the original novel didn’t mention specific numbers, it included a scene where Mother Wen subtly reminded the protagonist to “work harder on academic subjects, or you won’t keep up,” and Mother Wen didn’t specifically praise any subject’s score, implying the overall results were not great.
Moreover, the protagonist’s highest Chinese score on her previous report cards was only 122 points.
While Wen Yun knew that the protagonist later maintained an advantage in Chinese through her own efforts, this was still the early stage of the plot. Could the protagonist, who hadn’t even begun to catch up with the Langying curriculum, truly achieve an exceptionally high score of 137?
