Chapter 132: The Only One Who Got Full Marks
Right at this moment, someone shouted from outside the door, “She’s out, she’s out! Qiao Xi’s results are out.”
A boy ran over with a test paper in hand. His face was red from excitement. “Guess what Qiao Xi got?!”
“How many marks could she get? It can’t be a single digit, right?” Wang Qing took a few steps forward, grabbed the paper from the boy’s hand, and lowered her head to take a look. Cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.
How could this be?! Didn’t Qiao Xi not know English? Wasn’t she a good-for-nothing? How could she have such good results?!
The surrounding people were waiting for Wang Qing to speak. They did not expect that she would actually hold onto the test paper and not let go. How many marks did Qiao Xi get? The students could not suppress their eagerness to take the test paper from her. Someone finally snatched the paper from Wang Qing’s hand boldly and looked down. Her expression was similar to Wang Qing’s as if she had seen a ghost.
The other students were even more curious now, but before they could ask, they saw Wang Qing shout excitedly, “One point! Qiao Xi scored one point! Hahahaha, admit your defeat and quickly kneel down!”
When Qiao Rou saw Wang Qing’s expression just now, she thought that something big had happened. Now that she heard Wang Qing say that Qiao Xi had only scored one point, she silently heaved a sigh of relief. She did not even look at the test paper and said to Qiao Xi gently and weakly, “Sister, I wanted to help you resolve your bet with Wang Qing, but you were too stubborn and refused to let me interfere. What should I do now?”
Qiao Xi casually tossed her phone in a carefree manner. “So what do you want? You want me to kneel before Wang Qing now, right?”
Qiao Rou’s eyes flashed. “After all, you agreed to the bet. I wanted to interfere, but you didn’t give me the chance. Now that things have come to this, I can’t help you even if I wanted to. After all, you have to admit defeat. This is the most basic rule in life, right? We have to be honest, don’t we?”
A student who did not know the situation tried to persuade Qiao Rou. “Qiao Rou, you’ve done enough. Qiao Xi doesn’t appreciate your efforts. Don’t be sad because of her. It’s not worth it.”
“That’s right. Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. Since you know that you’re a good-for-nothing, you shouldn’t have made a bet with others. In the end, you lost and don’t want to fulfill the bet. You’re going back on your word. How is such a person worthy to be a teacher in our university?”
“Qiao Xi, if you don’t fulfill the bet today, I’ll definitely report you to the chancellor. I’ll say that you’re unqualified and not worthy to be our teacher!”
Qiao Xi sighed. She only joined Li City University as a substitute teacher because she could not stand Zhou Guanjin’s dawdling. Why were these people always threatening her with reports and complaints?
Qiao Rou looked at the students who voiced out with a look of gratitude, then she frowned and said with a troubled expression, “Sister, now that things have come to this, you should quickly fulfill the bet. Since there aren’t many people at the university gate now, quickly kneel down and apologize. Otherwise, when there are more people at the university gate, you’ll be even more embarrassed.”
Wang Qing rubbed her hands excitedly. She could not wait to see Qiao Xi make a fool of herself. When she thought about how Qiao Xi was about to kneel before her, she was so excited that her entire body trembled. “You lost the bet today, so you have to kneel and apologize to me at the university gate. Qiao Xi, you won’t back down, will you? If I had lost today, I’d definitely kneel at the university gate without saying anything. I wouldn’t be such a sore loser like you.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Oh? Is that so?”
Not everyone in the university knew about the bet between the two of them. Later on, the students who were there to watch the show realized that there was a bet between them. The person with the lower score would have to kneel to the person with the higher score.
Now that Wang Qing’s score was obviously higher, Qiao Xi had to kneel at the university gate to apologize.
Wang Qing was proud of herself. “Qiao Xi, stop wasting time. You’ve talked so much. You won’t run away at the last minute, right?”
Qiao Rou also said, “Sister, we have to be honest. You have to keep your promise to Qing Qing. Our Qiao family has never been sore losers.”
“No… Wait a minute, what are you guys talking about?” The student who was looking at the paper earlier finally came back to her senses. She pointed at the score on the paper and said, “Teacher Qiao Xi clearly scored 100 marks. She scored two more marks than Wang Qing. She’s the only one who scored full marks on our English test!”
The entire classroom seemed to fall silent.
Qiao Rou’s pupils dilated with shock. That student’s words kept repeating in her ears like a recorder. 100 marks… The only perfect score… Qiao Xi…
