In the last mock exam before the college entrance examination, Chi Yu, unsurprisingly, took first place in the grade once more.
The exam paper was more challenging than usual and adhered strictly to the grading intensity of the final exams. Each subject's teacher was meticulous in scoring, not giving away a single point and emphasizing neat handwriting and cleanliness on the paper.
Chi Yu scored an impressive 748, surpassing Tao Sisi, the second place, by a full 46 points.
The scores were posted on the announcement board downstairs in the morning, yet by the afternoon, they had mysteriously vanished.
Everyone knew who likely pulled strings to have the scores removed.
All day long, people whispered about Tao Sisi, glancing in her direction with knowing looks. Her mental state was on the verge of collapse.
These days, she had been plagued by sleepless nights, overwhelmed with anxiety, breaking out in cold sores from constant worry.
