Since there is a note, it must have his handwriting on it. We’ll know for sure once we compare it with his test paper. I believe the difference in handwriting will be quite obvious. Secondly, since the student in front of me accused me of cheating, let’s compare the answers written by the entire class, including this student, with my test paper. If anyone has written the exact same answers as I have, I will submit to whatever punishment you deem fit.

As soon as she finished speaking, the faces of the two boys turned pale.

The teachers also found her logic sound. After all, with exam questions, there are many ways to solve them; it was impossible for two people to have 100% identical answers.

They immediately compared the handwriting, and sure enough, it was a perfect match for Fan Cong’s.

The teachers were no fools. Their expressions darkened instantly. Fan Cong, how do you explain this?

With the evidence held against him, Fan Cong was speechless.

However, no matter how much the teachers questioned him, he refused to admit who he had written it for.

Naturally, he lost his eligibility to repeat the year.

Si Nian hadn’t wanted to meddle, but as Fan Cong was leaving, the boy in front of her glared at her with a cold, sinister gaze.

This made her change her mind.

Teachers, when I first arrived, I noticed that no one seemed very familiar with each other. For someone to be willing to throw away their future just to help someone cheat, they must have either been paid off or threatened. We mustn’t let the real cheater get away.

The teachers’ expressions changed immediately.

It was true; Fan Cong would rather be expelled than reveal the other party, unless he was truly being threatened.

Some of the teachers knew the boy. He was timid and submissive, not very brave, and while his grades were decent, his psychological state was poor. He tended to underperform whenever he got nervous.

With a little effort, he could have gotten into university.

But now, he was giving up even the chance of going to university rather than naming the person who had asked for the help.

Everyone’s gaze instantly fell upon Wang Wei, who sat in front.

Wang Wei had just breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing this, he was nearly scared to death, his scalp tingling with fear.

Originally, if the teachers couldn’t find anything, there would have been nothing they could do.

But this woman just had to bring it up.

Damn it, he never should have messed with her!

Following this incident, the other students became nervous. No one dared to try any more little tricks.

Si Nian continued writing her exam. Soon, she finished, stood up, and handed in her paper in one fluid motion.

She was the first student to turn in her test.

Perhaps the teachers still had some lingering doubts, as they had stood by her side while she completed the last few questions.

The more they watched, the more astonished they became.

Chinese and Mathematics had been held in the morning.

The afternoon was for Physics and English.

English was Si Nian’s specialty, so it was naturally a breeze for her. She finished it in less than half an hour.

While everyone else was still struggling with what was, for them, the most difficult subject, she had already handed in her paper.

Si Nian successfully earned the bewildered stares of all her classmates and teachers.

Originally, the teachers had intended to give it a cursory glance.

Good heavens, they were in for a shock.

There was technical vocabulary that even they didn’t know…

What on earth was going on?

***

Meanwhile, in prison.

Lin Sisi didn’t get the good news from Si’s Mother about a school accepting her. Instead, she received news that the couple was planning to divorce.

Liu Dongdong said sadly, Ever since you went to prison, Sisi, the relationship between Uncle and Auntie has been getting worse and worse. For some reason, Uncle Si is always visiting Si Nian now and even giving her money in secret. Auntie was furious when she found out, and they’ve been fighting and having a cold war. Now they’re getting a divorce.

But don’t worry. No matter what, Uncle Si is still your biological father; he definitely won’t ignore you. I’ve already told him about you taking the Gaokao. Auntie also went to the school to find a teacher—it’s First High School. The teacher said they’re willing to take you. You just need to go and take the exam when the time comes.

Lin Sisi’s expression was grim when she heard the news about her parents’ divorce.

It was only after hearing the latter part that her expression improved slightly.

While in prison, she didn’t know exactly what was happening even with her family’s frequent visits, and she certainly couldn’t change anything.

Now, her only thought was to get out as soon as possible.

Based on her knowledge of the future, as long as she could get out, she would definitely be successful.

At the very least, she wouldn’t end up worse than Si Nian!

She had learned to be smart. In the future, she wouldn’t go looking for trouble with Si Nian. She would work hard in secret and then amaze everyone!

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly noticed some red marks on Liu Dongdong’s neck.

Having lived through two lifetimes, she naturally knew what those were.

Lin Sisi said suspiciously, Dongdong, your neck…

Startled, Liu Dongdong covered her neck. Then, under Lin Sisi’s questioning gaze, her face flushed with embarrassment. I… I have a boyfriend…

Lin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. For a moment there, a certain unpleasant thought had actually crossed her mind.

Since it was a boyfriend, it definitely wasn’t what she had been thinking.

***

When Si Nian returned home, she was surprised to find Zhou Yueshen there.

At that moment, he was sitting on the sofa watching the two children practice their calligraphy.

The Second Child’s handwriting was truly hideous. Since he was still young, he needed to practice more.

Calligraphy was a great way to cultivate one’s character and improve focus, but most people found it hard to stick with.

Take the Second Child, for example—he hadn’t even been sitting there for half an hour before his restlessness kicked in.

Normally, Zhou Zedong would indulge him and wouldn’t scold him.

After all, he was young himself and couldn’t bring himself to be hard on his brother.

But Zhou Yueshen was quite strict.

This character is crooked. You can’t use brute force when you write.

Zhou Zehan didn’t understand and was completely confused; no matter how he wrote, it still looked the same.

Zhou Yueshen simply set down Yao Yao, who was playing with toys in his lap, and took the boy’s hand to teach him stroke by stroke.

His expression was stern, and he carried a natural air of pressure and authority when teaching.

Zhou Zehan was terrified, his little face scrunched up as he shifted uncomfortably, feeling very out of his element.

But he didn’t dare to rebel.

Zhou Yueshen taught him for a while, his brow furrowing slightly as he finally understood the saying, Rotten wood cannot be carved.

The Second Child looked at his father blankly.

Zhou Yueshen didn’t scold him, though. He remained patient and taught him for a bit longer until he noticed Si Nian had returned. Only then did he let up. Take a break. Xiao Dong, you teach your brother in a bit.

The Second Child cast a pleading look toward Si Nian.

Si Nian pretended not to see it.

Even though she doted on the Second Child, the boy really did need to study hard. You couldn’t just give up completely because someone lacked talent.

She had said those things before to encourage him, but she couldn’t let the Second Child give up on his studies because of them.

Zhou Yueshen stood up, the sternness in his eyes fading away. His lips curled up slightly into a handsome arc as he walked toward Si Nian on his long legs.

Finished with the exam? How did it go?

Si Nian said, It was okay. There shouldn’t be any problems.

Zhou Yueshen naturally believed in her. Si Nian’s abilities had always been exceptional, and he had seen it for himself.

There was no need to worry.

Zhou Yueshen leaned down and gave her a light peck on the forehead. You rest today. I’ll cook.

Si Nian was happy to have the break and nodded.

Zhou Yueshen ate dinner with them and then went out to work again.

He had likely been worried that Yao Yao would be bored staying there for too long, so he had brought the child back first. He had made dinner while he was at it.

The Second Child pulled a long face. Daddy is so scary. He kept staring at me.

His hand was still sore.

He had intended to act spoiled with Si Nian, but she didn’t indulge him this time. Instead, she said sternly, “Xiao Han, practicing your handwriting is a good thing. It’s only natural that you find it a bit difficult since you’ve just started, but it will get better after a while. Once your handwriting improves, Mommy will reward you with a little red flower.”

Zhou Zehan’s eyes lit up. “Really? I can get a little red flower for writing, too?”

Si Nian nodded. “Of course. The little red flowers you earned before were used up when I bought you the toys and the bicycle, so your tally has been reset to zero. If you work hard this time, you might even overtake your brother soon.”

Zhou Zedong’s hand, which was holding his chopsticks, paused for a moment.

Zhou Zehan was already cheering up. His previous resentment had vanished, and he immediately declared that he would practice for a while longer after finishing his meal.

Si Nian smiled. Using reverse psychology on the Second Child really did work every single time.

The results came out the following afternoon.
