Chapter 106: What Kind of Odd Titles Are These?

“He's good-looking!” Ruan Cha paused for two seconds, showing not a shred of a girl's shyness or coyness. She leaned in, eyes wide and innocent, her face dead serious. “Can I touch him?”

Right after that, she even licked her pink lips.

Looking every bit the greedy little thing.

Gu Zhenzhi: “...”

It looked like a few dark lines flickered across his brow.

As expected—there was no point trying to talk to her with any kind of normal logic.

While Ruan Cha was changing clothes, she pulled out her phone and texted S, asking him to dig up the surveillance footage from around 6:45 p.m. at the school gates.

By the time she finished changing, the footage was already on her phone.

From the video, she could see herself leaving with Cheng Xiuyan.

And parked not too far away... was Gu Zhenzhi's car.

Just as she thought.

Ruan Cha watched the video, deleted the record, and then went thundering down the stairs.

The results of Mocheng No. 2 High School's hell exam were released quickly.

Netizens waiting anxiously online, fueled by a burning fire of gossip, even banded together to push the topic “Waiting for Ruan Cha's reputation to crumble” all the way into the hot search!

This had to be the year's biggest winner at climbing the trending charts off sheer relatability!

I've got my snacks, drinks, and popcorn all ready—now we just wait for the show to begin.

I don't have any ulterior motives. I just want to see how the almighty Ruan Cha plans on facing her own grades.

Maybe Ruan Cha herself never imagined that one sentence would land her on the trending list, with everyone watching her scores like hawks. All I can say is: she brought it on herself.

Among all the mocking comments, one jarring message kept popping up repeatedly.

ChaCha's scores are god-tier! You guys are all idiots!

Ruan Cha crushing Gu Jiayan is a done deal, okay?!

Before long, Ruan Cha's fans started flooding the comment section to take control—

ChaCha: master of both arts and sciences; beauty and brains in one; quirky science genius; sweetheart of a leading lab; prodigy designer. Future's looking bright—get in on this early, you won't regret it!

The whole screen glimmered with blingbling little stars mixed with cheers of support for Ruan Cha, swiftly conquering the entire comment section under the topic.

Netizens stared at the bizarre fan slogans.

They all replied in perfect sync with the “confused old man looking at his phone” meme.

What the hell were those crazy titles?

The hell exam rankings and scores were officially released at nine o'clock every Monday morning.

Before that, even the homeroom teachers of each class had no idea how their students had performed.

Each paper was graded by a different teacher, with no student names visible. The scores were then compiled and submitted to the school's academic affairs office, where the principal's secretary handled the final integration and data entry.

The overall rankings, automatically generated by total score, were scheduled by the system to display on the electronic screen of the main teaching building.

Monday was flag-raising day.

After the ceremony, came the long-awaited moment of a lifetime: the results announcement.

Li Junmei stood at the front of her class' formation, casting a contemptuous glance at Shen Jie, who stood with his back ramrod straight.

“I really don't know where he gets the nerve, still standing there all proud?”

The moment Li Junmei finished speaking, the electronic screen began scrolling through each student's score, line by line.

The top five of the grade were announced one by one starting from fifth place in reverse order; all remaining scores were released at once.

The first to pop into the scoreboard was the fifth place: Lin Huimin from Class 8, Grade 11. Seeing the result, an eruption of cheers burst out from Class 8.

Next, fourth place: Li Changjun from Class 1, Grade 11—the eternal academic powerhouse of their class. It was just that this time, he had fallen a spot; he'd always taken third before.

By the time third place came around, everyone's attention snapped into focus.
