The next day, Mo Shiyun was in a depressed mood as she came to school. As soon as she entered the classroom, she heard that the results of the chemistry competition had been announced.

There was a small number of total participants for the chemistry competition. Due to this reason, the organization was able to mark all the papers in the evening after the exam.

As soon as they heard that the results were going to be announced, everyone became anxious.

Hurriedly, Mo Shiyun opened the website on her phone. She saw that the results were indeed announced.

Jian Yiling’s name appeared at the top. They stood out and sunk into her eyes.

Her name was at the top of the list.

She was first place.

Jian Yiling actually came first!

That fact was hard to believe.

Mo Shiyun had interacted with Jian Yiling from time to time. She had no idea how Jian Yiling managed to come first. However, she wasn’t the only one who found the fact hard to believe. Her other classmates were also in shock.

In her shock, Mo Shiyun continued to search for her name on the list.

After she found her name, she quickly looked at the rank next to the name.

It was eleventh place.

Mo Shiyun was ranked eleventh in the competition.

She had just missed out on the prize money.

Mo Shiyun continued to look at the screen with a pale face.

She had placed far too many expectations on this matter.

The greater her expectations, the greater the disappointment.

The huge disparity made all her pain wash over her like a tidal wave. She felt that she was drowning in her pain.

At this moment, Zhu Sha walked over and looked at Mo Shiyun’s face. She paused for a moment before she comforted, “It’s okay. You don’t need to be sad yet. Everyone knows what kind of student Jian Yiling is. Don’t you think it’s strange that she can come first? She can’t even pass an ordinary chemistry exam. It’s impossible for her to come first in such a competition. I feel like the system probably made some mistakes. If her results are incorrect, wouldn’t you be tenth place?”

Zhu Sha’s words reminded Mo Shiyun.

That was true. If there was a mistake in Jian Yiling’s results, then she’ll be tenth.

“That’s true… But the list was announced by the organizers… What can I…” Mo Shiyun stammered. She didn’t know how to get the organizers to recheck the results.

“Don’t worry. You don’t have to do it. I heard that someone has already requested for her results to be verified. You’re not the only one who has doubts. A lot of people are doubting her,” Zhu Sha said.

Upon hearing Zhu Sha’s words, Mo Shiyun’s heart was slightly relieved.

However, it was only slightly. The matter hadn’t yet been settled.

The reaction from Jian Yiling’s class was even greater.

At this time, Jian Yiling hadn’t arrived at school yet. However, most of the students in her class had already arrived.

Hu Jiaojiao stared at the screen in front of her. She looked at it to confirm the name over and over again.

“Oh my god, are my eyes seeing things correctly? Did Jian Yiling really come first? Am I seeing a ghost?”

Liu Wen was also bewildered by the situation, “What has been happening to your desk-mate? You said last time that the tutor she hired was useless. Why am I doubting that now?”

“I don’t believe this either! Let’s wait till she comes. I’ll make sure to interrogate her as to who her tutor is! Is her tutor a god?”

Hu Jiaojiao and Liu Wen were both questioning how Jian Yiling’s marks and studies had improved so rapidly in such a short period. As of now, they suspected that it was related to her study methods. They were curious about the mysterious tutor that she had during this period of time.

After a while, Jian Yiling walked into the classroom.

As soon as she entered the classroom, everyone’s eyes fell on her.

However, Jian Yiling didn’t pay too much attention to her surroundings. She walked straight to her own seat.

As soon as she sat down, Hu Jiaojiao and Liu Wen attacked her from both sides.

It wasn’t out of the blue for Hu Jiaojiao to do this. However, Liu Wen had joined in today. Typically, Liu Wen only cared about her studies.
