The Green Tea Omega Has Turned Bad - Chapter 26.2
The Alpha who wanted to cheat, threw three notes at her, and was finally given a public criticism.
“You really know how to cause trouble. The Dean of Students broadcasted to the whole school yesterday that Xiao Wu’s exam eligibility was canceled, she was given a major demerit, and she has to read a five-thousand-word self-reflection at the flag-raising ceremony next Monday.” Jiang He said softly, “When she came back to the classroom at noon, her expression was terrifying, saying she would definitely settle the score with you.”
Yan Xia nodded: “This punishment is quite appropriate.”
Jiang He looked at her strangely: “Aren’t you afraid?”
Just as she was speaking, Xiao Wu turned her head and happened to meet Yan Xia’s gaze; she curled her lips into a cold smile at her, her expression unfriendly.
The circle of people sitting around her also looked over aggressively, each more fierce than the last, with “not a good person” written all over them.
It actually looked quite convincing.
Yan Xia immediately showed a look of terror.
Xiao Wu was very satisfied and bared her teeth fiercely at her.
The teeth were brushed quite white and were very neat; a piece of green stuck in the gap of her front teeth was particularly conspicuous.
Yan Xia almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Zhong Quan, seeing her body trembling, thought Yan Xia was scared out of her wits and quickly comforted her: “Don’t be afraid, she has a major demerit now, she won’t dare to do anything too excessive for the time being.”
Yan Xia held back her laughter: “Thank you.”
I just think it’s so chuunibyou.
In her eyes, these people were just a bunch of childish, funny kids who hadn’t experienced the beatings of society, each arrogant enough to think the whole world revolved around them.
She was already in her twenties, how could she be afraid of such a childish display of power.
But it was quite interesting to tease them a bit.
She blinked at Xiao Wu and pointed her finger at her own teeth.
Xiao Wu: “?”
The person beside her couldn’t help but whisper a reminder: “The leek dumplings you ate this morning…”
Xiao Wu pulled out a mirror to look, and her face immediately turned as green as a leek.
She indignantly put down the mirror and saw Yan Xia slumped on the desk, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Jiang He beside her was shocked: “Are you crying? It’s not that serious, right?”
Yan Xia waved her hand, and after quite a while, she looked up, her face completely red, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Others were shocked: “Xiao Wu seems to have scared Yan Xia to tears!”
The Alpha’s around Xiao Wu were also shocked, then looked at her with admiration: “You can scare her to tears even with food stuck in your teeth, truly terrifying!”
Xiao Wu: “??! Damn it, she was laughing!”
Yan Xia finally stopped laughing, straightened up, and asked weakly, “Is this Xiao Wu very powerful?”
“It’s not a question of whether she’s powerful, she’s the kind with wide connections.” Zhong Quan lowered his voice. “I heard Xiao Wu has an unusual background; people see her hanging out in nearby bars and discos, knowing many street thugs, so normally no one dares to provoke her.”
Yan Xia: Oh ho, then I’ve provoked her twice.
“Be careful these few days.” Zhong Quan looked at her with sympathy. “Try to walk with others after school, don’t be alone. An Omega as fragile as you is easy to bully.”
The “fragile” Yan Xia nodded: “Okay.”
The phone in the drawer vibrated, a new message pop-up appearing.
Shang Wandong: “Exam finished, just finished school.”
Yan Xia looked down and replied: “So early, we haven’t finished yet, the teacher hasn’t even come to the classroom.”
Shang Wandong was concise: “I’m coming to find you.”
Yan Xia: “Great, wait for me outside the classroom! [Cat heart.jpg]”
Shang Wandong: “Okay.”
In the end, they didn’t wait for the class teacher; the class representatives for each subject hurriedly assigned a bunch of weekend homework, and after taking the papers, they could go home directly.
Xiao Wu endured her anger and finally made it to the end of school; she was just about to block Yan Xia in the classroom when she saw her hurrying out the door, saying something with a smile to someone, and the two left side by side.
“Was that Shang Wandong?” Someone marveled. “She’s been coming to Class F to find Yan Xia often lately.”
“What’s so strange about that, before Shang Wandong even protected Yan Xia and made Zhu Yuxing withdraw from school.”
“Anger for the sake of a beauty.” That person sighed, “Could the rumors be true? The two of them have gotten together?”
“I didn’t expect Yan Xia to be quite capable, actually managing to hook up with Shang Wandong.”
“Exactly one A and one O, just that Yan Xia is a bit lacking.”
Xiao Wu, with a dark face, said impatiently: “Enough, what are you gossiping for, go home, go home.”
“Sister Xiao is going home so early? Let’s go to the internet cafe and play a few rounds of LoL?”
Yan Xia wrote homework for two days in the big villa, spending a very peaceful weekend.
Since yesterday, Shang Ruyun had not appeared again.
According to Mother Mei, she went back to the Shang family last night and took a flight this morning to handle company affairs overseas.
She came suddenly and left suddenly, leaving only one sentence for Shang Wandong before departing: If you change your mind, you can contact me anytime; the plane ticket and engagement agreement are all ready.
Once the weekend was over, it was time for the midterm rankings to come out.
Class F normally had no expectations for things like rankings; after all, it was a group of academic slackers at the beginning and end, and however they fought, it was just “noobs poking each other,” but they were happy to see gossip from other classes, such as who did well and moved up, or who did poorly and fell into Class F.
First period, the English teacher walked into the classroom carrying a thick stack of exam papers.
The dozens of people in Class F below looked calm, their hearts as still as water, looking like they were about to become monks.
The English teacher said helplessly: “Don’t give up so quickly, at least have some expectations for your own grades, okay?”
She spoke with a smile, looking like she was in a good mood. Many people’s hearts jumped—could the results be okay this time?
A boy asked boldly: “Teacher, did we do okay?”
“Okay my foot.” The English teacher glared at him. “The exam questions this time were on the difficult side; the range I gave you was missing vocabulary for a few units, and the essays were a total disaster.”
She changed the topic, “However, one student exceeded my expectations and did very well!”
People looked at each other, everyone looking at the English class representative, cheering: “Good job, did you move up this time?”
“Treat us! You must treat us!”
“Wow, impressive brother!”
The class representative was dazed: “Wait, it wasn’t me, I didn’t.” He clearly remembered struggling during the test, surely not?
The English teacher slapped the table and said loudly: “Quiet, everyone quiet down! The first place this time wasn’t the class representative!”
She said again with a smile: “This student made me see her in a new light; her grades weren’t good before, but this time she actually managed to rank first in the whole class and sixth in the entire grade for this single subject.”
The crowd broke into an uproar.
Damn, ranking sixth in the whole grade is just called “very well”? It’s clearly at a level that can be praised to the heavens!
So who exactly is this mysterious person?!
Amidst the excited discussion of the crowd, the English teacher announced loudly:
“It is our student, Yan Xia! Everyone, let’s applaud!”
The entire class fell into a deathly silence; no one applauded at all.
The English teacher nodded to Yan Xia and smiled kindly, “Yan Xia, come up and get your paper.”
Yan Xia walked to the podium and took the paper with both hands: “Thank you, teacher.”
“Wait, don’t go down yet!” The English teacher quickly called her back, “Yan Xia, share your study experience, how did you achieve such good results?”
Yan Xia had to stop, holding the paper in one hand, facing the whole class.
Her back was straight and sharp, the short-sleeved summer school uniform outlining the girl’s slender and tall figure, making her limbs look long and her features graceful; she had a clean and elegant beauty.
“Just watch more, read more, and memorize more.” Yan Xia said calmly, “That’s all.”
English teacher: “…Well, thank you for your sharing, you can go down.”
The crowd was greatly shocked: Why does it feel so cool? Damn it, she actually pulled it off.
A brisk and lively mechanical voice sounded in her ear: “Ding! Congratulations to the host, positive points +50!”
Yan Xia sat back in her seat; Jiang He’s face was dark, while Zhong Quan turned his head to stare at her intensely, as if looking at an ultimate lifeform.
“How did you get that grade?”
Yan Xia pointed her finger at her temple and smiled: “By using my brain.”
Zhong Quan: “…So you really didn’t cheat?”
There were many people who thought the same as him.
Going from failing to first in the class all at once how could that be possible?!
The English teacher began explaining the exam questions in high spirits, but everyone below was agonizing over this matter, unable to focus on the lesson at all.
After the bell rang for the end of class, the whole class was unusually quiet, questioning life in their seats.
Suddenly, Jiang He changed her dark expression and asked: “Xia Xia, did you cheat?”
Yan Xia got goosebumps all over and did a tactical lean back: Please begin your performance.
Jiang He’s voice quickly attracted the gaze of others, their expressions varied.
Someone began to question: “I also think it’s very strange, Yan Xia failed every time before, how can she suddenly do so well now?”
With her saying that, others followed suit: “Exactly, anyway I don’t believe it.”
“She cheated, right? How could anyone in our class get such a high score, let alone Yan Xia, who was always the one dragging down the average.”
Jiang He’s eyes were full of pride, but she pretended to be heartbroken for a friend, saying in a thin voice: “That piece of paper you were secretive about and wouldn’t let me see before the exam, wasn’t that a cheating note?”
Yan Xia: It’s truly a pity you didn’t apply for the acting department.
She said warmly: “I already let you see it, that was clearly just a piece of scratch paper.”
Jiang He was relentless: “Then you must have made other small notes!”
“I didn’t.” Yan Xia said, “Everyone was in the same examination hall; the people sitting next to me should have seen if I cheated.”
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other.
Someone whispered: “I was sitting right next to her, I didn’t seem to see her cheating…”
“Me too, she was quite fast at doing the questions.”
Jiang He pursed her lips and pointed at the paper on her desk: “Then how do you explain your grades?”
“Because I studied hard.”
Yan Xia’s lake-like eyes looked at her, the ripples in her eyes shimmering as if a string of tears was about to fall, looking very wronged. “Jiang He, you are my deskmate, you should know I was reviewing seriously these past few days. But instead of pretending you didn’t see, you’re suspecting me?”
Everyone’s gaze immediately fixed intensely on Jiang He.
Jiang He: “…No, listen to my explanation…”
Yan Xia’s acting bug took over; her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was dry: “I didn’t expect that while I treated you as a friend, you would treat me this way.”
Jiang He: “…………” Why are you stealing my lines?!
She gritted her teeth and made up her mind: “It’s precisely because I treat you as a friend that I have to expose your tricks! This kind of opportunistic method is wrong, I can’t just watch you keep going down the wrong path!”
Both sides held their ground, and the atmosphere was at a standstill.
Just then, the sound of high heels clicking came from far to near into Class F.
Entering was the mathematics teacher, Zhang Ying.
“Why are you all gathered? Disperse!”
Anyone with ears could tell this person was in a very bad mood; although the bell for class hadn’t rung yet, the whole class gradually returned to their seats.
Zhang Ying slammed the exam papers onto the podium, her face dark.
“The results of this exam are truly beyond my expectations.” She propped her hands on the podium and got straight to the point, “Now there is a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
No one dared to answer, so Zhang Ying started talking to herself: “The good news is, the first place in mathematics for a single subject actually came from our class.”
The crowd felt something was wrong, guessing with numb faces: Could it be…
“The bad news is, the authenticity of this student’s grade still remains to be verified.” With that, she curled her fingers and knocked on the blackboard, shouting, “Yan Xia, stand up!”
The whole Class F’s eyes went dark: It really is her!
Jiang He was secretly delighted: Great, even the teacher is on her side, let’s see what excuse Yan Xia finds this time!
Yan Xia was a bit taken aback and stood up with a frown: “Teacher, I didn’t cheat.”
She hadn’t expected that even a teacher would do something like suspecting someone without any evidence.
Zhang Ying stared at her coldly: “Tell me the truth.”
Yan Xia looked straight ahead, her expression candid: “Teacher, what I said is the truth.”
“Is that so?” Zhang Ying sneered, opened the paper, and pointed to the last big question, “The last big question uses knowledge points from the next unit, but our class hasn’t reached the content of that unit yet, nor have I taught it. Please explain why you could do it?!”
Yan Xia: …I was careless, I wrote too much.
During math class, she squeezed out time to memorize Chinese and didn’t listen to where they had taught at all; she just picked a few questions and wrote down some steps, and it just so happened that she finished this big question.
If she had known, she should have left a few difficult questions blank to keep up appearances.
Zhang Ying sneered and asked very sharply: “Student Yan Xia, why aren’t you explaining anymore?”
Yan Xia: “…Because I previewed it in advance, Teacher Zhang.”
Zhang Ying slapped the podium hard with a bang; the whole class was as quiet as cicadas in winter.
She said sternly: “You can even memorize math formulas incorrectly every time, do you think I would believe such words?”
Yan Xia sighed in her heart: …An unreasonable adult is far more terrifying than a bunch of kids.
“I didn’t cheat.” She still held her head high, her gaze clear. “If the teacher doesn’t believe it, you can go and check the surveillance, or let me write it again.”
Zhang Ying laughed from extreme anger, feeling her authority was being challenged by a student, right in front of the whole class.
She hadn’t expected Yan Xia to be such a stubborn person, clearly having done something wrong yet not daring to admit it, insisting on arguing with her.
She must be feeling embarrassed in her own heart, right?
“Fine, check the surveillance, right?” She grabbed Yan Xia’s wrist and pulled her outward, “Come with me to the grade office!”
After the second period, the grade ranking list for the entire school was posted on the bulletin board in the corridor.
A large crowd of students flocked out of the classrooms like little birds, crowding in front of the bulletin board and talking all at once; some were happy and some were worried, joy and sorrow were all concentrated in this frame of thin paper.
In the Class A classroom, Shang Wandong didn’t move in her seat; she looked down at her exam paper, one hand propping up her chin, her index and middle fingers holding a red pen, idly twirling it.
The classroom was half empty, as everyone had run out to see the grades.
Soon someone shouted at the window: “Awesome! First place is Shang Wandong again!”
“Sigh, it’s always like this, it would be strange if the first place wasn’t her.”
“The people’s choice, big scholar, congratulations!”
The classroom was filled with a lively atmosphere, and dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Shang Wandong, waiting expectantly for her to speak.
The latter raised her eyelids and only responded coldly: “Thank you.” Looking very much like an emotionless killer.
Everyone in Class A was also used to her appearance; they smiled and moved their gaze away, starting to talk about other gossip again.
“Hey, did the class monitor make it into the top ten this time?”
“No, she said her ranking was just pushed down, and she’s been standing at the bathroom door for a long time, totally devoid of any will to live.”
“Who was it? Was it the particularly arrogant study committee member from Class B?”
“It wasn’t him, what was that person’s name again, it seems to be the one recently…”
The voices were cluttered, the crowd was noisy, and different pheromones were diffused and intertwined, yet Shang Wandong accurately caught those two words in the chaos.
“Yan Xia.”
She suddenly put down her pen, walked out of the classroom, and merged into the noisy flow of people.
The gazes of the crowd followed behind her, and they looked at each other, seeing astonishment on each other’s faces.
Since the tenth grade, Shang Wandong had never proactively gone to see the rankings.
…Regardless of whether she performed well or poorly, she was never interested; she would only stay in the classroom to correct her exam papers.
What happened today?!
Shang Wandong stood before the bustling bulletin board. She tilted her head back, eyes skipping past the first place and counting down until she found Yan Xia’s name at the tenth spot. The ink was still fresh, showing a slight hint of smudging.
“Tenth Place, Yan Xia, Grade 11 Class F.”
Exactly tenth in the entire grade. To scrape the line so perfectly was actually quite impressive.
She withdrew her gaze, and behind her bite guard, the corners of her lips curved up slightly in a very faint smile.
A few voices of doubt emerged from the crowd:
“My god, there’s actually someone from Class F in the top ten this time? That’s badass!”
“Is this Yan Xia the same Yan Xia I know? Weren’t her grades super trashy?”
“I don’t know, but it feels pretty amazing.”
Suddenly, a shout erupted from the end of the hallway: “Damn, big news, big news!”
“What happened?!”
“I heard from the people in Class F that Yan Xia the one in tenth place was taken to the office by their teacher. They suspect her of cheating!” The person gestured colorfully. “Class F isn’t even holding lessons anymore; they’re all at the office eating popcorn [watching the drama]!”
“No way? The midterms were monitored so strictly, how could she have gotten the answers?”
“I already thought it was weird. Someone from Class F suddenly scoring so high… I heard her grades used to always be at the bottom. It’s understandable to say she cheated.”
“Oh my god… that’s terrifying…”
A thick scent of sea salt pheromones surged forth like a crashing Great Wall of water. The near-terrifying suppressive force was like a bomb being dropped, exploding instantly in the corridor.
Everyone’s expression changed, and they shut their mouths one after another.
After a moment of silence, Shang Wandong pushed through the frozen crowd and walked toward the office with a blank expression.
