Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 106: That Was a Bit Insulting

Lin Fuxi smiled shyly and said, “In our province’s school, the teacher always told us that the most direct and effective way to change our lives was through the college entrance examination. My family is from the countryside, and we don’t have very good conditions or many connections. I couldn’t do anything about it. If I hadn’t worked hard to get a good score on the exam, I wouldn’t have been able to come to Beijing University. In the end, I would only be able to stay in my province. But the cost of living in City B is high, much higher when compared to my province. I could only do my best to get a scholarship to reduce the burden on my family. Otherwise, I might not have been able to go to university…”

“You succeeded, and you are excellent.” Jin Yuelin patted Lin Fuxi’s shoulder and said, “You not only got admitted to Beijing University, but also got a full scholarship. Our school has three full scholarships this year, two were given to two college entrance examination top scorers in City B and the other one to you.”

Tan Mo looked at the three of them silently.

These three have only been acquainted with each other for a short time, so they don’t necessarily have that good of a relationship.

But from the three of them, Tan Mo thought of a phrase that could describe their behavior very accurately.

Sticking together.

It was like when the other little fairies stuck together to ostracize her when she had just moved into the cave.

The behavior wasn’t necessarily bad. It was just an instinctive social behavior. Tan Mo wasn’t that averse to it.

“By the way, from your accent, you’re a local of City B?” Jin Yuelin asked with a smile.

“Yes.” Tan Mo nodded.

“How nice.” Lin Fuxi looked envious but smiled a little bit sourly and said, “The admission scores of City B were much lower than those of other places.”

When these words came out, the expressions of Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi froze.

They didn’t expect that Lin Fuxi would be such a conversation killer.

They had flattered each other just now, but, in fact, they had had no intention to show off. Those who are admitted to Beijing University all have top-notch grades. As long as the gap wasn’t too big, there is nothing to show off about.

They were just showing their strengths first, so as not to be underestimated.

But Lin Fuxi’s remarks were hinting at the fact that Tan Mo had gotten accepted because she was a resident of City B?

That was a bit insulting.

Even if the admission scores of City B were relatively low, this is Beijing University, so how low could it be?

“I heard that City B had someone who got a perfect score on the liberal arts college entrance examination,” Lin Fuxi kept talking. “Unfortunately, I chose science in high school. Otherwise, I would have liked to take City B’s liberal arts college entrance examination to see how many points I could get.”

Wasn’t she insinuating that she could get a perfect score on City B’s liberal arts college entrance examination as well?

She was looking down on City B’s academic level.

Qin Muye’s face fell and she said, “You might be able to answer all of the questions correctly, but could you also get a perfect score on the essay? This year’s perfect score essay made all the other essays pale in comparison. It’s not just from City B. Teachers from all over the country said that the essay was top-notch, and even the professors of Beijing University wanted to read it.”

Qin Muye’s mouth twitched slightly and she continued, “Not to mention whether you could write a classical Chinese essay that was even better. Can you write an essay on the same level? Why don’t you write it now?”

“It’s true.” Ming Yeqing didn’t stop Qin Muye’s outburst; he simply supported her. “For the perfect-score essay, the examinee only found out the question on the spot, and, in a limited time, she showed her exceptionally profound understanding of classical Chinese. You knew the topic for nearly two months, so you had a lot of time to think about it carefully.”

“Of course, even if you didn’t, it doesn’t matter. You can think about it now and write it out on the spot.” Ming Yeqing pointed to the table in the middle of the room..

The layout of the female dormitory was exactly the same as that of the male dormitory.

“The exam time was tight, but I can give you more time.” Ming Yeqing took out his phone and looked at it. “Is one hour enough? If it isn’t enough, two hours is fine.”

He had complete confidence in Tan Mo’s essay.

So what, maybe he’ll even give her three more hours?

If she can’t write it, she can’t write it.

Lin Fuxi didn’t expect these people to be so serious and to even directly ask her to write an essay on the spot.

She was just complaining about the preferential treatment that City B’s candidates enjoyed.

What was wrong with her words?

Why are their province’s base admission scores so much higher than that of City B?

If the base admission scores were the same, a lot more people from their province would have been admitted to prestigious schools.

Lin Fuxi lowered her head and pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose. As if very aggrieved, she whispered, “I just wanted to try it out to see if there was a difference. You don’t have to be so worked up.”

Qin Muye was livid. Why did this person’s words tick people off so much?

Every word and every sentence sounded innocent when considered separately, but when they came out of Lin Fuxi’s mouth, they gave people a weird feeling.

Wait.

Qin Muye was stunned.

Ah!

This feeling is so familiar!

She hasn’t received passive-aggressive behavior from Qin Murong for many years so she almost forgot.

Unable to stand passive-aggressive behavior, she was about to roll up her sleeves and confront her.

Ming Yeqing hurriedly stopped her. Tan Mo held Lin Fuxi’s hand and said softly, “Older sister, don’t think too much about it. Their personality is just like that, they aren’t worked up.”

Lin Fuxi felt a little suffocated.

She wanted to ask, if that isn’t called getting worked up, then what is called getting worked up?

But if she really asked, it would seem as if she was getting worked up.

This feeling of knowing something but being unable to refute it was really frustrating!

Also, who is her older sister?

She doesn’t even know who is older and who is younger, yet she is already calling her older sister?

Is she that old?

“Moreover, even the head teacher of the grading group said that the essay was very good, and even Professor Gu personally reviewed it. Why don’t you write an essay, and let’s show it to Professor Gu? If it’s really good, Professor Gu might directly send it for publication in journals above the provincial level or even at the national level. Wouldn’t this give more glory to Beijing University?” Tan Mo held Lin Fuxi’s hand excitedly.

“I didn’t expect you to have such ambitions. I will definitely support you. When you finish writing it, I will accompany you to find Professor Gu.” Tan Mo looked around. Since it wouldn’t be good to take other people’s paper and pen, she took out a brand-new notebook and a stationery bag from her backpack. “Older sister, come on. It just so happens that so many of us are here, so we can serve as witnesses that you wrote it all in one go on the spot without referring to any literature.”

Lin Fuxi: “…”

She never said she wanted to write it!

She just said that she wanted to try, but she didn’t want to actually do it.
