After Becoming the Abused Heroine in a Campus Story - Chapter 48: I Liked the Clingy Little Fox the Most

Chapter 48: I Liked the Clingy Little Fox the Most

As expected, when Zhou Yining went to the exam venue the next day, she heard that the dean of academic affairs led teachers to catch several couples last night. They said that after the exam this afternoon, they would call parents.

Zhou Yining ate gossip while waiting for the English exam. Her relationship with the English teacher remained quite average. Last time, Zhou Yining submitted a blank paper, and Teacher Cao acted in class as if she didn’t exist.

However, this was the final exam, and she made a bet with Xu Yueming. Zhou Yining didn’t plan to submit a blank paper, but she also didn’t want to answer seriously. The English test had a full score of 150 points, and 90 points equaled passing. She prepared to score exactly 89 points just to annoy Teacher Cao more.

Zhou Yining felt very confident in her academic performance. She finished the earlier questions, ensured she would score exactly 89 points, and didn’t answer the later questions. She didn’t write the essay, didn’t fill the answer sheet completely, and only marked for 89 points. Afterward, Zhou Yining raised her hand to submit the paper.

But only forty minutes passed, and more than an hour remained. The proctor saw her hand and thought the paper had an issue. The proctor asked, “What’s wrong, student at the back?”

“Can I submit the paper, Teacher?” Zhou Yining asked.

The proctor frowned, thought she was messing around, and said unhappily, “No, only 40 minutes passed, not even half the time. Why submit? Even if you finished, check carefully.”

With no choice, Zhou Yining lay on the desk to catch up on sleep. The proctor felt speechless about her.

The male teacher standing at the back grew curious about how Zhou Yining wrote so fast. When he walked over, he saw Zhou Yining’s answer sheet wasn’t fully marked, the essay wasn’t written, and Zhou Yining lay on the desk with closed eyes, looking ready to sleep.

The male teacher tapped her desk. “Your answer sheet isn’t complete, and you didn’t write the essay. Why sleep?”

“I know. I calculated it. These questions should be enough for the score,” Zhou Yining said frankly. The male teacher looked at her with a weird expression.

Finally, to avoid disturbing other students, the male teacher ignored Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining happily continued lying down to sleep. When the bell rang, Zhou Yining already woke from a nap.

After the morning exam, they could go home. Zhou Yining arranged with Tian Xue to meet at the school gate, and they went home together as usual.

Recalling Zhou Yining’s zero score in the last monthly English exam, Tian Xue asked, “You didn’t submit a blank paper for English this time, right?”

Zhou Yining winked at her. “Of course not. Am I that kind of person? Besides, I bet five hundred yuan with Xu Yueming. I definitely can’t submit a blank paper.”

“That’s good, or I’d worry Teacher Cao would go crazy at you again.”

Zhou Yining smiled and said, “Probably not. But I precisely calculated to score 89 points on purpose, just to fail.”

“Are you serious?” Tian Xue asked.

“Hmm, serious. I answered enough for 89 points and slept. I didn’t write the rest,” Zhou Yining said calmly.

Tian Xue gave up. “Fine, good luck then.”

“No problem. What can he do to me?” Zhou Yining didn’t care.

When she got home, Zhou Jiaming hadn’t returned yet. It was only 11 o’clock.

Zhao Xiuna saw her return and said, “How was it? I heard from people in the neighborhood that you had final exams?”

Zhou Yining nodded. “It’s okay, about the same as before.”

Zhao Xiuna sighed, smiled at Zhou Yining, and said, “Yining, you used to tell me everything. Why don’t you tell me about exams now?”

“No need for that.” Zhou Yining didn’t want to waste time on this family. She went to the dining room, lay on her small bed, and rested for a while.

Soon, Zhou Jiaming returned. As he entered, he complained to Zhao Xiuna that his sneakers looked bad and he wanted new ones.

Zhao Xiuna advised, “Didn’t we buy you a pair last month? Those shoes cost over a thousand yuan. Why buy again?”

“Come on, it’s different. These are a collaboration model. Several classmates bought them. I don’t care. If you don’t buy them, I’ll definitely fail the finals,” Zhou Jiaming whined and acted shamelessly.

Zhao Xiuna sighed. “Talk to your dad tonight. If he agrees, we’ll buy them.”

“Great! Dad will definitely agree.” Zhou Jiaming felt thrilled.

Zhou Yining pursed her lips. They spoiled the son but wouldn’t even give the daughter pocket money. It was ridiculous.

Zhou Jiaming walked to his room in a good mood, saw Zhou Yining was back, and mocked, “Yo, I heard you had finals. You better do well, or you’ll embarrass Mom and Dad again.”

“If you can’t speak properly, don’t speak. Control that mouth spraying crap everywhere,” Zhou Yining coldly looked at him and cursed.

“Tch, I won’t bother with you.” Knowing he couldn’t outtalk Zhou Yining, Zhou Jiaming angrily returned to his room.

Zhou Yining ate lunch and left early. After going out, she bought an iced Americano nearby and slowly walked to school. If possible, she really didn’t want to stay in this original body’s home anymore, but she still lacked an opportunity.

In the afternoon, she took the humanities comprehensive exam. Zhou Yining’s attitude during the exam was much better than in the morning. However, this exam was quite difficult, and even some humanities questions were very obscure. But for Zhou Yining, they were minor issues.

After the exam, students couldn’t rest. They hurriedly moved desks and chairs back and returned to class for evening self-study.

Zhou Yining arranged with Jiang Xianzhi in advance to meet at the playground entrance after dinner. After doing this, Zhou Yining started eating snacks.

Jiang Hao rushed in from outside. “It’s over, it’s over. I was just in the office and heard the math results are out. In our class, only five people scored above 120, and many failed.”

“What about you? How much did you score?” someone asked curiously. After all, Jiang Hao was the math class representative, and his math scores were pretty good.

“131. Be careful during self-study later,” Jiang Hao warned. The next self-study was with the math teacher.

As expected, when the class bell rang, the math teacher arrived with answer sheets.

She saw the students looking at her eagerly and smiled. “This time, everyone did poorly, but it’s not your fault. The whole grade was like this. Treat this exam as an experience. The college entrance exam won’t be this hard. Now, do you want self-study or hear me explain the questions?”

“Explain the questions. Hand out the answer sheets, Teacher.”

“Yeah, let us die early and move on. Tell us our scores.”

Teacher Zhang smiled and said, “Fine, I’ll only hand out the papers of the five students who scored above 120 this time. The rest will be distributed by the class representative later.”

“Jiang Hao, 131. Come get your paper.”

“Yu Yang, 128…”

She handed out four papers. The four students’ scores were either just above 120 or around 130. None reached 140.

Teacher Zhang smiled and said, “But this time, the math top scorer in the final exam is from our class. Zhou Yining, come get your paper. The only perfect score in the whole grade.”

The students knew Zhou Yining was good at math, but they didn’t expect her to get a perfect score on such a hard test. They started discussing.

“My gosh, that’s too crazy. Is she even human?”

“Yeah, so hard, and she got a perfect score. She doesn’t even need to study in senior year. She’s ready for the college entrance exam.”

“Totally awesome.”

Zhou Yining was mentally prepared. She went up, took her answer sheet, smiled at the corner of her lips, and returned to her seat. Seeing Xu Yueming look at her, Zhou Yining smiled at him and whispered, “Don’t forget our bet.”

Xu Yueming wanted to cry. Why was he so talkative? Why did he agree to bet with Zhou Yining?

Teacher Zhang maintained discipline. “Alright, stop discussing. Zhou Yining’s results are obvious. This final exam was city-wide, so there’s no question of leaks. Her score is genuinely earned through effort. Now, let’s start reviewing the paper…”

Usually, when teachers took up self-study, students weren’t happy. But this time, since everyone did poorly, they eagerly wanted to know their mistakes.

Zhou Yining didn’t care much. She lent her answer sheet to the girl in front and continued writing her novel outline. Being stuck in school took up too much of her time.

After one self-study session, Zhou Yining ate dinner with Tian Xue as usual. She left the cafeteria and waited for Jiang Xianzhi at the playground entrance.

Perhaps because they caught couples yesterday, fewer people walked on the playground today. No one went to the outer areas where lights didn’t reach.

Zhou Yining leaned against the wall behind her, waited a while, and saw her little fox coming.

Jiang Xianzhi, in a great mood, jogged and pounced toward Zhou Yining. She nuzzled in Zhou Yining’s arms, reluctantly stood up.

Too many people were around, and she felt shy to hug.

Zhou Yining smiled at the corner of her lips, held her hand, and asked, “Why so happy today?”

“Hmm, exams are finally over. It feels like shedding a layer of skin. But in a few days, we’ll have a break to rest well,” she said.

As if remembering something, Jiang Xianzhi added, “What are your plans for the holiday?”

“If I have time, I’ll probably write novels to save money.” Zhou Yining’s outline for the first arc of her novel was nearly done, and she felt ready to start writing.

Jiang Xianzhi wanted to say if she was short on money, she could take hers. But knowing Zhou Yining’s temper, she wouldn’t accept, so she didn’t offer.

Jiang Xianzhi looked at Zhou Yining eagerly. “Besides writing novels, what else? Will you come find me?”

Zhou Yining smiled at her. “Sure, call me anytime, and I’ll be there.”

Hearing Zhou Yining say that, Jiang Xianzhi’s eyes curved happily. “Good. Then don’t complain if I’m too clingy.”

“No way. I like the clingy little fox the most,” Zhou Yining said, deliberately leaning closer to Jiang Xianzhi.

Jiang Xianzhi’s lips pursed, slightly, her ears turned bright red, blushed, and she couldn’t hide her smile. She loved when Zhou Yining called her that.
