As the conversation went on, someone naturally brought up the Ruan language.
It's said that the highest scores in these three courses were all achieved by transfer students...
Even top student Su couldn't beat her?!
[I was just helping with the score entry. Anyway, it's already confirmed that I failed the biology exam.]
Wow, that's amazing!
A new academic star has emerged! Hopefully, our class will once again claim the top spot in the grade!
After Lin Qiqi exposed that incident, the chat history in the group mentioning Ruan Yu was completely harmonious.
Wen Yun knew this was all just a facade. Bored, she scrolled up and saw a screenshot of the new group chat message history sent by Lin Qiqi.
I'm so suffocating! I'm trembling with fear in the next group, too afraid to utter a word.
[I vaguely remember seeing a transfer student's past report card someone posted before. Her grades in all subjects at the end of last semester weren't very good! It can't be that the teacher who entered the grades didn't like her, right?]
[Maybe she had some amazing summer adventures [doge emoji]]
[Here's a tag for the Twen family~]
[Expulsion warning] [Hands clasped]
As expected, the screen was filled with sarcastic and sarcastic remarks.
Cute Sweetheart Xiaoqiqi: [I really want to yell at them, but I'm afraid I'll get kicked out and won't be able to monitor them anymore 5555 Please tell Xiaoyu to make sure these jealous people are thoroughly humiliated!!]
Wen Yun was both amused and exasperated, and quickly replied: "You have to believe in Xiaoyu's abilities."
Lin Qiqi didn't know what she was doing, but she sent a message saying she didn't want to type and made a voice call directly.
Wen Yun had nothing to do at the moment, so she answered the call.
Ruan Yu didn't see those sarcastic remarks. Wen Yun and Lin Qiqi cursed the jealous people in the voice chat, and the topic unconsciously turned to their respective grades.
"Yunyun, have you been under a lot of pressure lately?" After complaining about her grades, Lin Qiqi couldn't help but ask with concern, "I feel like you've become a different person since Xiaoyu came back. Your grades have also dropped. Have your parents been putting pressure on you again?"
Wen Yun's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Qiqi and the original owner grew up together. According to the original owner's memories, back when her older brother Wen Lu hadn't gone abroad to study, the Wen family elders always compared them.
Whether it was truly due to the so-called "genetic problem" or not, the original owner kept desperately chasing after her brother's shadow.
The pieces her brother could memorize and play after hearing them only once took her several days to stumble through; the scores her brother could easily achieve required her to stay up all night doing practice problems, hire a tutor, and put in twice the effort, and she could only barely reach them.
Lin Qiqi, as the original owner's best friend, knew all too well about these hardships in the past.
Wen Yun remained silent for a long while before finally speaking: "Have I really changed a lot?"
"Hmm...it's not really that big." Lin Qiqi hesitated. "I can't quite put my finger on what the specific changes are. Sometimes I feel like you've changed, and other times I feel...you've always been this way!"
"What do you mean by 'I've always been this kind of person'?" Wen Yun asked, puzzled.
“Because you were like this in elementary and middle school! Otherwise, how could we have been friends for so long?” Lin Qiqi recalled. “When boys bullied me, you would drag them over and make them apologize to me. You dared to say anything and scold those gossipy guys until they didn’t dare to say a word.”
"When we got to high school, I was in the same class as you in my second year. I found that you had become much more reserved. You always spoke to others in a soft and gentle manner."
She paused for a moment, then said, "But to be honest, I don't really like that side of you. It just feels... pretentious."
Wen Yun was surprised that the little villain would use "pretentious" to describe the original owner, and she didn't know how to respond.
“You can be angry, after all, that’s what I really thought!” Lin Qiqi continued, “Instead of speaking in riddles and hiding daggers in your smiles, you might as well just scold me and talk things out on the spot. Hmm… I still prefer you to be as straightforward as you were when we were kids.”
“People change,” Wen Yun explained, forcing a smile. “The understanding and experiences at each stage are different, and so are the attitudes towards people and things. Sometimes, just one opportunity can make you suddenly understand and then completely abandon the person you were at a certain stage.”
“My mom said the same thing,” Lin Qiqi said with a smile. “Back in my second year of high school, I was wondering how you became like that and when you would be able to change back. But you’re my best friend, so no matter what you become, I can understand.”
When she hung up the call, Wen Yun no longer knew how she felt.
Unlike written records, memories are intangible and fade with time and the brain's self-protection mechanisms, being buried and forgotten.
So even though she inherited the original owner's memories, what she could recall were either particularly unforgettable events or recent occurrences.
As for the things Lin Qiqi just described, she had no recollection of them at all.
Apart from that, she couldn't recall a single specific event from either her primary or junior high school years, only vaguely remembering the names of a few classmates and teachers.
Wen Yun suddenly felt a little lost. Because if she were to recall her school life in her previous life now, it seemed that would be the same result.
Is it simply forgetting due to the passage of time, or...?
"Knock knock".
A soft knock interrupted Wen Yun's thoughts, and she subconsciously looked towards the door: "Please come in!"
The door opened, and Ruan Yu walked in carrying exam papers and draft paper.
"It's time for your practice questions." Ruan Yu reminded her as she approached the room, closing the door behind her.
Wen Yun glanced at her phone and quickly took out her stationery and notebook. "Sorry, I chatted with Qiqi for a while and lost track of time!"
Ruan Yu gave a soft "hmm," pulled out a small stool from under the table, and sat down properly next to her.
She clearly didn't say anything, but Wen Yun inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was subtle, as if she had been caught slacking off by her boss in her past life.
So when Ruan Yu handed over the new math test paper, she explained, "We were talking about today's test results..."
"The results for the three subjects are already out?" Ruan Yu interrupted.
She didn't see the relevant documents in the group chat.
Wen Yun hadn't finished speaking, but she continued along with her words: "Pretty much. If you're curious, you can message the teachers privately and ask them, including about the details of point deductions. They won't refuse such a thing."
Ruan Yu nodded obediently, took out her phone and started sending messages.
Wen Yun breathed a sigh of relief, folded the test paper, and began to look at the questions.
As soon as she got to the fifth question, she heard Ruan Yu say softly, "Your Chinese score is 111, which is ten points lower than last time."
Wen Yun:? ? ?
Wait, why is it her Chinese score that's being checked?!
A note from the author:
The first update is here!
Chapter 24
"There are three questions that you shouldn't have gotten wrong in the memorization and classical Chinese vocabulary translation sections. Teacher Mo said that the viewpoints and arguments in the essay were okay, but not good enough, and because the handwriting was messy, some points were deducted for neatness."
The girl's voice drifted over, but this time Wen Yun didn't feel the comfortable numbness she had experienced in the music room. Instead, she felt a chill down her back.
She knew that if her Chinese score didn't meet her usual standard, Ruan Yu would definitely bring up past grievances!
But after Ruan Yu announced her Chinese score and deductions in a judgmental manner, she did not comment on it, but continued to quietly operate her phone.
Wen Yun nervously worked on the questions for a while, but still didn't receive any feedback, which made her a little confused. However, she didn't dare to ask and quickly put her mind to the questions.
When the time came, the screen of her phone on the table lit up, and the alarm suddenly went off.
"It's time." Ruan Yu stood up, reached out and swiped away the alarm clock, then looked down at the exam paper.
It's all filled with writing, but I don't know how accurate it is.
Unbeknownst to her, Wen Yun had learned from her experience in the Chinese exam, putting aside everything else and being more careful with her calculations and formula selections. When she saw the graded score, she was quite surprised.
Ruan Yu thought this person was very easily influenced by the outside world, otherwise he wouldn't have started to overthink and come up with solutions just because of what he heard, and he wouldn't even take the monthly exams that were supposed to be ranked seriously.
But now that she looks at it this way, she can't make up her mind anymore.
Seeing the hesitation on her face, Wen Yun thought she had made many mistakes, so she hurriedly went over to take a look. She found that the mistakes were all things she should have made and things she hadn't understood, so she couldn't help but look at her with surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
"...Still don't understand this type of question?" Ruan Yu snapped out of her reverie and pointed to a long question that she hadn't finished solving.
"I understood the first two questions, but for the last sub-question, I could only write a starting point based on the given conditions," Wen Yun honestly confessed.
"Have you thought about using the results proven in the first two questions?" Ruan Yu asked.
Wen Yun was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Can this be used for this problem? I can't find where it can be used."
“If you can think of this formula, then you know where it can be used.” Ruan Yu picked up a red pen, casually wrote down a line of formula on the draft paper, and began to write the solution.
Wen Yun read it carefully and suddenly realized what it meant.
"You haven't accumulated enough experience yet." After she finished correcting the mistake, Ruan Yu stood up. "I'll go find you some similar examples so you can familiarize yourself with the problem-solving methods."
Perhaps because of the intensive study the night before, Wen Yun felt that most of the questions were easy to answer when she actually took the exam the next day.
But she kept Ruan Yu's advice in mind, and the more this was the case, the less she dared to be careless. She would finish the questions within her ability and then go back to verify the questions she had done, until the bell rang and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The two afternoon sessions were both humanities subjects, which was a relaxing time for Wen Yun.
When it came to the last political exam of the day, Wen Yun finished writing the last word and saw that there was still some time left. She even brought up the system to check the attribute panel.
Current name: Wen Yun
Current survival time: 247 hours
Tea flavor level: 13 points
After the start of the semester, Wen Yun's time was filled with intense review, and she tried her best to find opportunities to chat and flirt every day, but the speed at which she accumulated enough flirtation points was still quite slow.
Fortunately, as the plot progressed, the system finally opened the intermediate shop for her. The original basic life-extending card, which cost 1 point of tea flavor and extended life for 3 hours, was upgraded to an intermediate life-extending card that extended life for 6 hours, and the points required to exchange for it remained the same.
In addition, the [Limited-Time Piano Level 10 Experience Card], [3-Hour Refreshing Black Tea], and [I Understand This Math Lesson!], which were originally only obtainable from the Mystery Items, have now been added to the redeemable items in the shop.
However, the required tea points to redeem them are ridiculously high, especially the limited-time piano level 10 experience card, which requires 100 tea points to redeem and only lasts for 15 minutes, roughly the length of playing four or five level 10 pieces.
Rather than exchanging directly, Wen Yun preferred to use her tea flavor points to try her luck in the lottery.
Just before the exam ended, Wen Yun drew a mysterious item.
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the [Ten Thousand Hole Key (Note: One-time use only, cannot be used for theft)]!"
The moment Wen Yun saw the name of the prop, her heart skipped a beat.
"Are you cursing the protagonist?" she asked the system irritably.
Yesterday she was worried that the protagonist might be locked up on the rooftop or something, but the system couldn't possibly be completely unaware!
"Host, this tool can open more than just door locks!" the system complained. "Wardrobes, storage boxes, drawers, diaries, handcuffs... it can open anything with a lock."
