After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Ruan Yu’s excellent Chinese score was a shock, even to Lin Qiqi, who leaned in to look at the results and blurted out: “If this were a Gaokao score, Xiao Yu might just be the top scorer in a single subject?!”
Hearing this, a few older teachers in the office chuckled.
“It’s not that much of a stretch. We have students who score over 140 every year,” said Teacher Mo, the one who invigilated and graded the paper. Despite her words, she offered Wen Yun a kind smile. “I heard this child is temporarily staying at your house. If she has any difficulties in the Chinese subject, tell her to come and find me here.”
Wen Yun finally snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded: “Thank you! I will certainly pass that along to Xiao Yu!”
Walking out of the office, Lin Qiqi bottled up her excitement for a short distance before letting out a loud, excited cry to Wen Yun: “137 points!”
“Yes! 137 points!” Wen Yun echoed with feeling. “And it’s Chinese!”
No matter how she looked at it, something wasn’t right!!
Lin Qiqi was still rambling: “I’m already looking forward to Xiao Yu’s Math and English scores! If she can score so high in Chinese, her comprehension ability definitely won’t be lacking!”
“I hope so!” Wen Yun replied perfunctorily, then directly asked the System, “Is the protagonist also bound to a System?”
“No System has been detected as carried or bound to the protagonist,” the System said.
“Is that so?” Wen Yun was skeptical. “Then how could she score so well? It couldn’t be that she was hiding her talents all this time, could it?”
“This System doesn’t know either,” the System replied. “Perhaps she was in exceptionally good spirits because she had family accompanying her today, and she simply over-performed?”
Wen Yun: “…I somehow don’t really believe that.”
Feeling that she wouldn’t get any answers, she had to temporarily set aside her doubts. She responded to the incessantly chattering Lin Qiqi as they walked toward the book café.
There was still nearly an hour and a half before the second exam ended. The two of them were boredly reading magazines and scrolling on their phones in the book café, finally enduring until the end-of-exam bell rang, and then forcing themselves to wait for another half an hour.
Just past three-thirty, before Wen Yun could say anything, Lin Qiqi sprang up and grabbed her arm.
“Let’s go! Let’s check the scores!”
Since the number of transfer students wasn’t large, the grading for all three entrance exam subjects was taking place in the grade-level office.
This time, as Wen Yun and Lin Qiqi entered, the teacher responsible for grading Math papers greeted them with a smile and said, “Sit down for a bit, there are only three papers left to grade.”
Answer sheets were scanned onto the computer for grading, and multiple-choice sections were scored by machine scanning. The teacher only had to determine the scores for the subjective questions, making the grading process very fast.
Wen Yun and Lin Qiqi obediently sat in the empty seats nearby. After about seven or eight minutes, they heard the grading teacher say, “All right, you want to see Ruan Yu’s paper, correct?”
“Yes, yes!” Lin Qiqi said impatiently. “Teacher, how is Ruan Yu’s Math score?”
The grading teacher smiled without answering, clicked the mouse on the screen, and pulled up Ruan Yu’s answer sheet.
“See for yourselves,” he said, then stood up to stretch his neck and walked out of the office.
Lin Qiqi immediately leaned toward the screen. After seeing what was displayed, she froze on the spot.
Wen Yun glanced at her reaction in surprise and looked curiously at the score column.
When she saw the number “147,” she, too, was speechless with shock.
“Did… did I read the answer sheet correctly?” Lin Qiqi finally managed to ask after a long moment.
“…You read it correctly. That’s Xiao Yu’s answer sheet.” Wen Yun also recovered, but amidst her astonishment, a string of question marks popped up in her mind.
She could be halfway skeptical that a 137 in Chinese was an over-performance due to being in exceptionally good spirits, but a 147 in Math really couldn’t be called over-performance. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it divine scholarly possession!
Moreover, she remembered that the protagonist initially did not have such a top-tier Math score. She had even been mocked by Lin Qiqi and others after her first Math weekly test score was lackluster.
It was because of this that the protagonist escalated her effort from trying to catch up to frantically racing against time to solve problems, and her Math score barely managed to touch 140 by the third mock exam.
Thinking this, Wen Yun’s heart sank. She hastily exchanged words with the overly excited Lin Qiqi, who was taking photos with her phone, and stood up to leave the office.
“Is the protagonist still a person from this world?” she asked the System in a deserted place. “Are you sure she hasn’t been body-swapped?”
Wen Yun’s mind raced. If she had indeed transmigrated to the beginning of the original novel, then the protagonist’s basic attributes—such as her experience, personality, and abilities—should align with the book’s setting.
If they didn’t match, something must have changed.
For example, the protagonist’s inner self was no longer the original soul but an outsider in a similar situation to her.
“Host, don’t worry, the protagonist is 100% a person from this world!” the System replied. “To maintain the stability of the world in the book, we typically only allow one transmigrator to enter. If there were multiple transmigrators, this System would definitely have notified you from the start.”
“Then how do you explain the huge gap between the protagonist’s current scores and those in the original novel?” Wen Yun countered. “137 in Chinese, 147 in Math. If she continues this ‘stable performance,’ her English score should be around 130 or 140. But are these really the scores a regular student who just transferred should have?”
The System seemed baffled by her question and was silent for a full five seconds before speaking: “Host, please stay calm. Whether she’s a regular transfer student or not, your survival method hasn’t changed!”
It had abruptly changed the subject.
“So, you dared to pull me into this world without even figuring out the situation first?” Wen Yun was instantly exasperated.
“I apologize, Host. This System is only responsible for assisting the transmigrator’s survival and is not informed about such unexpected changes involving setting alterations,” the System explained meekly. “Furthermore, it was not my decision to pull you into this world.”
“Since your duty is to assist my survival, aren’t you afraid the protagonist is a reborn person, being nice to me now but actually just looking for an opportunity to kill me?” Wen Yun asked angrily.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, her heart jumped, and she frowned. Certain details began to surface in her mind.
It was clearly their first encounter yesterday, yet the protagonist showed alertness toward her from the beginning. When moving around the Wen house, she seemed overly calm, without any curiosity or panic, as if she had walked the place countless times and was long accustomed to it.
Her attitude toward the Wen parents, herself, and Lin Qiqi was polite yet distant. Wen Yun had assumed that was the discomfort of a newcomer and that it would improve after a while. But now it seemed that it wasn’t just politeness and distance, but a deliberate coldness and avoidance.
In other words, the protagonist didn’t want to be close to them at all.
Since the System was adamant that the protagonist was 100% a person from this world, if the protagonist she was encountering was a reborn person—one who returned after dying by suicide—then all the strangeness the protagonist displayed from yesterday to today, as well as scoring so well on the placement test, made perfect sense!
After all, the protagonist was someone who had just experienced the Gaokao. Both her knowledge base and her reaction speed for solving problems were still intact, and one exam was enough to reawaken them.
“Host? Are you alright?” the System asked weakly.
“I am not alright.” Wen Yun said gloomily. “Can I just lay my cards on the table?”
“Of course not! Host!” The System quickly stopped her. “You absolutely cannot voluntarily reveal that you are a transmigrator, otherwise you will violate the rules of space and time, which will trigger unpredictable consequences!”
Wen Yun felt helpless and sighed as she walked back.
“Host, relax. Even if the protagonist is reborn, you haven’t done anything to her, have you?” The System tried to comfort her. “And you’ve been taking care of her from the beginning! You are the transmigrator; proactively changing the plot is within the allowed scope, so…”
“I know, I understand,” Wen Yun cut in. “Just let me calm down first, okay?”
She was genuinely shaken by her own guess.
“Yes, Host!” The System quickly replied. “However, this is only your second day in this world. Why don’t you observe a bit longer?”
Wen Yun responded listlessly, but in her heart, she was already preparing for the worst-case scenario.
To make matters worse, as Wen Yun returned to the office, she heard Lin Qiqi enthusiastically chattering to the grading teacher:
“Don’t let Ruan Yu’s less-than-ideal Math score from last semester’s final exam fool you, that was two months ago!”
“The fact that she could score 147 after self-studying for one summer proves her ability is extremely, extremely strong. She was likely held back by her previous environment. In a better environment, she’ll definitely stabilize. A full score in Math during the Gaokao might not even be a dream!”
“If there are any competitions that can add bonus points or be included in a personal honors file, I hope you’ll consider her! I can guarantee that she won’t disappoint you!”
Wen Yun: “…”
Facing the grading teacher’s gaze, Wen Yun could only smile, nod, and say meaningfully: “Teacher Wei, our Xiao Yu is undoubtedly a rough gem. I’ll trouble you to polish her carefully in the future.”
When Ruan Yu came out after the English exam, she inexplicably felt that Wen Yun’s gaze was a little strange.
Rather than strange, it was more like… the resentment of someone who had been duped?
Ruan Yu was completely confused, but she still walked forward and greeted Wen Yun. Seeing that Lin Qiqi was not nearby, she asked tentatively, “I’ve already been measured, and the uniform will be delivered home the day after tomorrow. Should we go straight home?”
“No rush,” she saw Wen Yun shake her head, her tone calm. “We can stay for another half hour and wait for the scores. It will be quick. I’ve already informed Mom and Dad.”
Ruan Yu then remembered that the entrance exam scores were graded immediately, and Wen Yun must already know her scores. She felt a little nervous.
The questions for all three entrance exams were too simple for her. Coupled with her desire to score well and prove herself to her family and teachers, she had tackled the problems with full effort, not relaxing at all.
For some reason, she was starting to inexplicably anticipate praise from the person in front of her, but she was also afraid that Wen Yun would become jealous of her excellence and progress, just like the original Wen Yun.
“Don’t worry, you tested exceptionally well.” The gentle voice interrupted Ruan Yu’s thoughts. “Qiqi was ecstatic. If her family didn’t have a rule against coming home late, she would probably have insisted on buying you dinner!”
“Really?!” Ruan Yu’s eyes lit up.
“Of course it’s true!” She saw Wen Yun nod and take out her phone. “See for yourself.”
After seeing the Chinese and Math scores Wen Yun had photographed, Ruan Yu was also overwhelmed with surprise and joy that she had scored so well. The corner of her lips involuntarily lifted.
“I looked at your previous report card and was originally considering asking Mom and Dad to get you a tutor. Now I’m a bit undecided,” she heard Wen Yun say, slightly embarrassed. “Furthermore, Teacher Mo, who graded Chinese, and Teacher Wei, who graded Math, both welcome you to approach them with questions anytime. Do you have any thoughts on this yourself?”
Ruan Yu thought seriously for a moment and shook her head: “I’ll ask the school teachers first to see if I can keep up with the progress. If I can’t, then I’ll consider hiring a tutor.”
“That’s a good plan,” she saw Wen Yun smile, put away her phone, and naturally looped her arm through Ruan Yu’s. “It must be tiring for Xiao Yu to have tested for so long. Let’s go sit in the book café and grab a bite. I also have some private things I want to talk to you about.”
Ruan Yu’s heart sank inexplicably, but her expression didn’t change. She obediently agreed with an “Okay” and followed her toward the book café.
