192 192 Perhaps I’m Talented?
Tan Jing realized that she had lost her composure and smiled in a panic. She quickly hid her emotions and asked, “Is it really Tan Rou? Full marks? It couldn’t be a mistake, right? Or did someone write the wrong name?”
Even if there was a prodigy, it should be her! Although Tan Jing knew that her level was still far from being able to enter Exam Hall A, it still shouldn’t be Tan Rou!
Perhaps her name was miswritten?
The girl shook her head. “I don’t know what’s going on either, but it’s indeed Tan Rou!” She ran away after answering Tan Jing.
Tan Jing looked a little neurotic, and her eyeballs were about to fall out. Although this was magical, this shouldn’t be how things would turn out. It felt strange.
Tan Jing was stunned. Her heart was beating fast, but her mind was blank. She muttered to herself, “This is impossible… There must be a problem somewhere! How could it be possible for Tan Rou? How could it be!”
Tan Jing was extremely confident. She had always believed that Tan Rou was an ignorant and incompetent person. It was also Chen Yi who had told her personally that Tan Rou had rushed back to China before finishing her studies abroad.
Tan Rou left the country when she was four years old and had never received any education in their country. She was no different from a semi-illiterate! How could she score so well on the exam?!
Just as Tan Jing doubted her life, Tan Rou chuckled beside Tan Jing. “Sigh, I did so well by accident. I didn’t even break a sweat. After all, I’m smart and won’t need the walnuts.”
Tan Jing turned her head and stared at Tan Rou as if she had seen a ghost. She was completely speechless, and only her rapidly rising, and falling chest betrayed what she really had in mind.
Tan Rou crossed her arms and deliberately bared her teeth at Tan Jing like a tiger about to pounce and bite. “Tan Jing, thank you for letting me win. Perhaps because I was frightened that my brain suddenly cleared up, and I could easily answer the questions. I have to thank you for this.”
Tan Jing looked at Tan Rou in disbelief. She opened his mouth and could only repeat, “You…..you….” Even after a long time, nothing was coming out of her mouth.
What happened to Tan Rou? Was she possessed? Or did someone else have plastic surgery to look like Tan Rou? How did she end up like this? Why did she suddenly become so prominent and superior compared to Tan Jing?!
Tan Rou even provoked her in such a weird way. This confusion made Tan Jing wonder if she had entered a parallel universe.
Tan Rou had changed, and she knew that. But when did Tan Rou become so terrifying?
Could it be that everything that had happened before was not a coincidence? It was not that Tan Rou had just been lucky but that she had deceived everyone and concealed her strength. How could this be possible?
Tan Jing threatened in a low voice, “Tan Rou, tell me the truth. Did you cheat?! How could you possibly know those things? Please hurry up and admit it, don’t keep repeating your mistake! Otherwise, you’ll suffer!”
Tan Rou tilted her head. “The whole school knows I was accused of cheating, and I’ve already explained it clearly. What other truth do you want? Does Miss Tan still think that there isn’t enough evidence?”
Tan Jing’s expression instantly became flustered. She suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and gritted his teeth, “I’m telling you shouldn’t be so arrogant!! You better admit that you cheated!”
Tan Rou was done teasing Tan Jing, and her face turned cold. She snorted, “I sat for the exam myself. Why do I admit to it just because you are saying I cheated?! You’re really shameless! If you can’t believe it and are afraid of me, you can continue fantasising about it.”
Tan Rou’s eyes swept over Tan Jing. She rolled her eyes slightly and walked past her.
Tan Jing staggered and stared at Tan Rou’s back. There was a metallic taste in her throat. This was impossible! She can’t allow Tan Rou to walk away! She must expose Tan Rou’s lie!
When Tan Rou walked past the crowd, a student saw her and shouted, “Tan Rou is here! The Prodigy is here!”
Although many people were unwilling to accept this result and acknowledge Tan Rou’s results, most of them couldn’t hide their excitement and applauded. “Tan Rou, you’re amazing! You’ll be a prodigy in the future!”
Some people even deliberately acted strange. “The almighty god! Accept my bow! Please bless me so I can get into Class B next time!”
Tan Rou smiled. “Don’t be like this. I’m getting embarrassed.”
The students jeered, “The God of studies is to be worshipped! Tan Rou, how did you do it?”
Tan Rou pursed her lips and smiled playfully. “If I say this is nothing, it might be too infuriating and make me look like a hypocrite. So I can only say that maybe it’s because I’m talented?”
Everyone laughed and was comforted by Tan Rou’s honesty. The envy, jealousy, and hatred in their hearts were gone, and they only felt envious. After all, it was something that Tan Rou was born with, and there was nothing that they could do.
