Chapter 438 - Self-important and Brazen (1/2)

After the scores for the biology compet.i.tion came out, the news that Yun Xi had won first place quickly spread throughout their high school.

Coupled with the entertaining Q&A session that they’d watched during the compet.i.tion, everyone was very impressed with their female cla.s.smate.

Especially since all the high school students knew about the situation concerning Zhou Chengzhe’s challenge. It must have felt gratifying seeing him humiliate himself during the compet.i.tion.

The rumors circulating throughout their high school began to change, and the topic of discussion wasn’t Yun Xi.

On the contrary,everyone started discussing the self-important, brazen, and conceited Zhou Chengzhe.

Even if they had been purposely slacking off for his sake, so what? They had been doing so in an un.o.btrusive manner, but the petty Zhou Chengzhe was so full of himself that he had regarded what they had done as shameful.

He’d self-righteously stirred up so much drama, but, in the end, wasn’t he the one who’d gotten slapped in the face through his own shenanigans?

Rumors were basically all smoke and mirrors. Everyone knew that their credibility wasn’t high and that it was all speculation and nothing too serious.

But Zhou Chengzhe just had to confirm this rumor himself, and he’d even dug a hole for himself to jump in. How stupid!

At the same time, under Zhao Yumo’s instructions another wave of rumors began to spread throughout the grade. Feeding on the clamor surrounding the compet.i.tion, it immediately spread.

“Everyone is spreading the word that Li Sinuo was the one who started the rumors that your grades weren’t actually as good as theirs and they were purposely slacking off out of pity for you. Just think about it, you ranked third place in this grade-level compet.i.tion, and if the top three contestants started fighting among themselves, who would benefit the most? Wouldn’t that person be Li Sinuo? What a brilliant way to kill three birds with one stone!”

When Zhou Chengzhe’s deskmate, Xu Guanlin, told him about this rumor, the realization immediately dawned upon Zhou Chengzhe. He began to wonder if he had actually been manipulated by that b*tch Li Sinuo.

Moreover, to think that he had actually believed that they had suffered the same hards.h.i.+ps. How ironic!

Upon thinking about how it was because of this that he had irrationally provoked those two G.o.ds of plague, causing him to lose the full scholars.h.i.+p to study abroad, Zhou Chengzhe was overcome with rage.

That b*tch! It was all because of her that he was so pathetic now.

B*tch!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Taking advantage of the break after the second period, Zhou Chengzhe arranged to meet up with Li Sinuo at the top of the academic building.

Upon seeing the two of them leaving at the same time, Yun Xi patted Zhao Yumo on the shoulder, and, making tacit eye contact, the two of them quietly followed.
