The Staff Room door was suddenly opened from the outside. Yu Qi was startled, as she had just been about to open that very door.
Wang Fu Ya appeared right in front of her, looking extremely confident. Yu Qi had never understood why this girl always carried herself with such confidence when she had consistently lost to her.
Yu Qi stepped aside to make way. Wang Fu Ya walked in and approached Madam Tong directly. Instead of leaving, Yu Qi chose to stay. She decided to wait and see exactly what Wang Fu Ya was planning to do.
"Madam Tong, I have something to tell you." Wang Fu Ya said politely.
Madam Tong observed Wang Fu Ya carefully. She had begun to take a liking to this girl because of the respectful way she spoke to teachers, unlike the other girl earlier.
"Madam Tong, actually, the answer sheet written by Yu Qi was mine. She forced me to write her name on my answer sheet, and she wrote my name on hers." Wang Fu Ya revealed her so-called 'truth' to Madam Tong.
Madam Tong and the other teachers frowned upon hearing that statement. When Wang Fu Ya noticed their expressions, she mistakenly thought they believed her and began to feel pleased. She had no idea that Yu Qi had already taken several tests earlier and proven her capability.
Indeed, the teachers, including Madam Tong, were thinking about Yu Qi, but not in the way Wang Fu Ya expected. They were questioning why Wang Fu Ya would make such a claim. If they had not witnessed Yu Qi's performance earlier, they might have believed her. However, after seeing everything, they instead suspected that Wang Fu Ya was lying to slander Yu Qi.
Yu Qi, who had been listening to the accusation, merely smiled faintly. She realised that she did not need to deal with Wang Fu Ya personally this time. The teachers would handle it. All she needed to do was wait and watch.
"Madam Tong, I suggest letting Student Wang Fu Ya answer the same questions as Yu Qi did earlier. However, due to limited time, we can ask her to answer only one subject of her choice. What do you think?" One of the teachers whispered a suggestion.
Madam Tong considered it briefly and found it reasonable. She nodded several times in agreement. Seeing this, Wang Fu Ya assumed that Madam Tong was about to punish Yu Qi. She turned around and looked at Yu Qi, who stood not far behind her, provoking her with a smug smile.
"Wang Fu Ya, can you tell me. What is your favourite subject?" Madam Tong asked, catching Wang Fu Ya off guard.
"Eh… what?" Wang Fu Ya was completely dumbfounded.
"I am asking you which subject you like the most and score the highest in." Madam Tong repeated calmly.
"Chemistry." Wang Fu Ya answered.
"Alright. Prepare the same set of questions as before." Madam Tong instructed the teachers.
Wang Fu Ya did not understand what was happening, but she could only wait for an explanation.
"Wang Fu Ya, please sit here and answer these questions." Madam Tong said, placing several sheets of paper on the table and gesturing for her to sit.
"Madam Tong, could you please explain what this is about?" Wang Fu Ya asked, trying to understand the situation.
"Please answer the questions first. You are given twenty minutes. We will explain afterwards." Madam Tong stated.
With no other choice, Wang Fu Ya began answering the questions. However, the moment she read them, she frowned. The questions were far more difficult than she had expected.
Under the intense gaze of the teachers, the pressure mounted heavily on her. She struggled to fill in the answer sheet, feeling that the allotted twenty minutes were insufficient. By the time the time was up, she still had two questions left unanswered.
The teacher collected her answer sheet and marked it immediately. After finishing, he handed it over to Madam Tong. Madam Tong frowned deeply as she reviewed the results. Doubt filled her expression as she recalled Wang Fu Ya's earlier claim.
"Wang Fu Ya, tell us the truth. Is it really true that Yu Qi forced you to write her name on your answer sheet?" Madam Tong asked again.
"Yes…" Wang Fu Ya answered confidently, but she was abruptly cut off.
"I never expected you to lie so openly to your teachers. Look at this answer sheet." Madam Tong said, bringing out Yu Qi's earlier paper. "These are the same questions given to Yu Qi. She answered all of them and achieved full marks. Not only in this subject. Physics, Biology, Math, English, and Language. She scored full marks in every single one. Why would she need to ask you to write her name when she can perform far better than you?"
Wang Fu Ya was completely flabbergasted. She had no idea that Yu Qi had already answered these types of questions across multiple subjects and achieved full marks in all of them. She had assumed Yu Qi was being held back because she refused to admit to cheating. Who would have thought that, during that time, Yu Qi had already proven her innocence?
"Wang Fu Ya, you will be punished with one month of cleaning the toilets for lying to teachers and slandering your classmate. The janitor will give you instructions starting today. Go and see her after school hours." Madam Tong announced firmly.
Yu Qi felt that she had seen enough. She quietly exited the Staff Room and returned to the classroom. Feng Yue quickly approached her.
"Are you okay?" Feng Yue asked, holding Yu Qi's hand with concern.
"I'm fine. The teachers will not punish me because I'm not guilty." Yu Qi replied loudly, ensuring that everyone around could hear her.
"Yu Qi, did you see Wang Fu Ya? I think she also went to the staff room about an hour ago." One of the students asked.
"Oh, I did see her. She went to the staff room to tell the teachers a very interesting story. You can ask her about it later." Yu Qi replied with an ambiguous smile.
The student who asked the question felt a strange sense of unease upon seeing Yu Qi's expression.
