Luan Qing Xiao: 520, let’s do the lottery draw.



【Alrighty, Host dada! Ding! Congratulations to Host for extracting a time limited skill,



[One As Ten].



Skill Description: Come on, all ten of you can come at once. See if me, your grandpa, won't beat you down. 



Time Limit: One hour. 】



After finishing the task, Luan Qing Xiao no longer needs to sneakily swap out Nie Zhen’er’s bento. With Nie Zhen’er’s consent, she now directly prepare a lunch box for her to eat, however Nie Zhen’er insisted on paying her. Luan Qing Xiao wasn’t planning to accept it, but Nie Zhen’er explained, "Qing Xiao, I hope the two of us can have an equal relationship. I don't want to always take advantage of you. In the long run, I am afraid I won’t be able to keep an open-heart while staying friends with you."



Luan Qing Xiao could only helplessly take Nie Zhen'er's money.



Time then moved forward without any rush, and soon it was time for the first monthly exam since Year Two’s major separation.



The monthly exam was more formal than the starting diagnostic test, so every class except the Rocket Class had to test in different classrooms based on their grades.



Same as always, the students from Rocket Class whose monthly exam scores below the Top 40 will be demoted, while those in the normal classes would unfortunately be promoted to the Rocket Class.



Compared with the normal classes, the strength of the teachers in the Rocket Class was the best in Sheng Jia High. Plus,  Rocket Class’ teachers were extremely efficient in teaching, since there was no need to deliberately slow down and wait for those slow-minded students which saved a lot of time, allowing the Rocket Class students to do more exercises than normal classes.



Monthly exams seats are arranged according to the results of the diagnostic test, so Luan Qing Xiao sat at the first seat by the window while Nie Zhen'er sat behind her.



Liang Yan originally wasn’t a particularly smart person and even was distracted by the summer drawing classes, therefore his results weren’t up-to-par this time. He dropped from 7th to 17th place of their grade. This was considered a great shame for him, so he studied desperately after he got his results back in order to surpass Luan Qing Xiao and avenging himself.



Although Luan Qing Xiao's score was a bit abnormal, and he hasn't even passed Nie Zhen'er before, he believes in himself and the power of love. To attract Nie Zhen'er’s  attention to himself, Liang Yan knew he had to do better than Luan Qing Xiao.



Liang Yan was quite confident for this monthly exam.



The starting bell rang. Luan Qing Xiao lowered her head and began to seriously answer the questions.



The test papers were probably meant to discourage the students and prevent them from getting full of themselves, as it was several degrees harder than the diagnostic test. Of course, for Luan Qing Xiao, this wasn’t enough.



She settled down and worked on one question after another. Apart from feeling a little uncertain about the essay and poem analysis, Luan Qing Xiao was confident in all the other questions.



【Ding! The fourth mandatory plot is about to happen. Host, please take the opportunity to help Pei Yi Ruo kick the cheat sheet underneath Nie Zhen'er's feet within five minutes as well as letting it be seen by the male lead. 】



Luan Qing Xiao frowned, Who is Pei Yi Ruo? What does she want to do?



【Ding! Pei Yi Ruo is Host dada’s front deskmate, the girl who was promoted from Class 3 to Rocket Class after the diagnostic test~ As for what she wants to do, Host has to find out by yourself~】



Luan Qing Xiao: ... Useless.



【Ying ying ying. 】 520 felt wronged.



Luan Qing Xiao certainly knew Pei Yi Ruo wanted to frame Nie Zhen'er for cheating, but as far as she knew, after Pei Yi Ruo was promoted to the Rocket Class, she had never been in contact with Nie Zhen'er. She really couldn't figure out why Pei Yi Ruo would do this. 



People caught cheating are severely punished at Sheng Jia High. If it was someone from the Rocket Class, they’ll be immediately downgraded to a normal class. No matter how good their grades are in the future, they will never be promoted again to the Rocket Class. If the student continue to do so in the normal class, their second offense would result in expelling them.



Luan Qing Xiao frowned. She didn't want to be Pei Yi Ruo's accomplice to frame Zhen'er, but the mandatory plot must be completed. Liang Yan is her rival in love. When he sees what she has done, he will definitely add fuel to the fire and tattle to Nie Zhen'er. She has to think of a way to counter that.



Luan Qing Xiao finished writing the last few words of the essay and dropped the pen before waiting for Pei Yi Ruo to throw the note.



Because of her unhappiness, her whole body exudes an aura of aloofness, keeping people from wanting to come closer.



This was only the fourth mandatory point now. Who knows when the ten plots will be completed, so she can comfortably be with Nie Zhen'er.



Luan Qing Xiao's thin lips pressed into a straight line as her eyes turned cold. Five minutes later, the 520 sent a prompting sound, 【Ding! Pei Yi Ruo accidentally threw the small note at the feet of  Host. Host, please help Pei Yi Ruo kick the cheat sheet to the female lead’s feet. Note: The male lead must catch Host’s actions~】



As 520 finished, Luan Qing Xiao's piercing eyes glanced in Pei Yi Ruo's direction. Pei Yi Ruo, who was regretting her bad aiming, was shocked, and quickly lowered her head to concentrate on writing the test paper, not daring to mess around anymore.



Liang Yan’s strong subjects were language arts and English, so he finished writing the final essay with ease. He glanced at his watch and saw there was still half an hour left before time was up. Seeing that, he flipped to the front and planned to doublecheck it again from the beginning.



Liang Yan was quite sensitive in feeling people’s eyes on him, not to mention that Luan Qing Xiao's gaze was like an arrow, almost penetrating straight through Liang Yan.



Finally, Liang Yan couldn't take it anymore. He raised his head and scanned around, then turned to the first table by the window, and finally confronted the owner of the gaze-Luan Qing Xiao.



His face instantly turned black.



What the heck was wrong with Luan Qing Xiao? No one in their right mind would stare like that at someone during an exam? Does she still like him? But he couldn't detect any affection in that gaze...



As Liang Yan was distracted in analyzing Luan Qing Xiao’s behavior, he saw Luan Qing Xiao withdraw her gaze, and then gently kicked back with her long legs, causing a white object rolled from her feet to Nie Zhen'er's feet.



From Liang Yan's perspective, he saw clearly what Luan Qing Xiao kicked was a small paper ball!



Liang Yan suddenly became nervous. What did Luan Qing Xiao want to do? Doesn’t  she understand what Zhen’er will face if she got misunderstood for cheating?



Liang Yan's face flushed red, but he was afraid that the exam supervisor would find something wrong, so he lowered his head and prayed no one would find the paper ball under Nie Zhen'er.



However, he was destined to be disappointed.



A girl who was sitting in the same row with Nie Zhen'er suddenly raised her hand. The exam supervisor up front saw her and walked to her, asking, "Classmate, what's the matter?"



Pei Yi Ruo frowned , "Teacher, I saw something white running over there, but I don't know what it is. I'm afraid it's a bug."



She didn't have a delicate voice, but she attempted to do so to pretend to be distressed. Luan Qing Xiao felt her voice was very ear-piercing.



The exam supervisor looked in the direction of Pei Yi Ruo's fingers. It was Nie Zhen'er's feet, but from her angle, she couldn’t see anything. She stepped back and saw the little white paper ball lying by Nie Zhen'er's feet.



Nie Zhen'er was currently writing the essay. She likes to emerge herself in everything she did, so when she’s filling out test papers, she never pay attention to anything else. Therefore, when she was called by the exam supervisor, she didn't hear her at first and continue to write.



The exam supervisor thought she was pretending to be deaf, and increased the volume to call her as well as even nudging her shoulder.



Nie Zhen'er was taken aback. She raised her head blankly, and asked the fierce exam supervisor in puzzlement, "Teacher, is it time to hand in the paper?"



The exam supervisor's eyebrows jumped, "Student Nie Zhen'er, there is a paper ball under your feet, pick it up, and then head to the dean's office with me."



Nie Zhen'er didn't know what little paper ball was. She stood up and pulled back the chair, surprised to see something that shouldn't be under her feet. She said to the exam supervisor, "Teacher, this doesn’t belong to me."



"Go pick it up first." The exam supervisor was unmoved.



Nie Zhen'er bit her lower lip and knelt down to pick up the small paper ball. The exam supervisor repeated, "Follow me." After that, she turned and walked out the classroom.



Nie Zhen'er glanced at the essay she hadn’t finished yet, and followed the exam supervisor in low spirits.



Luan Qing Xiao clenched her hands into fists until the tips of her fingers turned white.
