Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Breaking The Rules

The students really couldn’t concentrate on answering the questions, and they were even a little annoyed.

If they fail the exam, they will have to repeat the grade.

It’s shameful to repeat a grade at Jixia Academy!

But they did not expect that Tan Mo would actually give in. She offered to not take the exam in order to quiet Qin Muxiao.

Tan Mo was so kind!

Also, during this semester, Qin Muxiao has been causing trouble, while Tan Mo has never caused trouble and was very low-key.

Even if Qin Muxiao tried to give her trouble, Tan Mo didn’t stoop down to her level.

Now, the sunlight from outside shone in and on Tan Mo’s body. It seemed as if she was covered with a golden glow.

Just looking at her made people feel warm and sweet in their heart.

Li Xingyun raised her hand timidly and said, “Teacher, let Tan Mo take the exam.”

Tan Mo is so kind, but she helped Qin Muxiao set Tan Mo up.

Although she only distracted Tan Mo, she was also an accomplice.

It was because Qin Muxiao threatened her, and she really couldn’t afford to offend her.

But, she has always been guilt-ridden by her conscience.

Tan Mo actually chose to give up taking the exam so as not to affect everyone else taking the exam. Li Xingyun mustered up the courage to speak first.

With Li Xingyun taking the lead, the other students all said, “Yes, teacher, let Tan Mo take the exam.”

Compared to Qin Muxiao, who gave Tan Mo a hard time and prevented everyone else from taking the exam with peace of mind, they liked Tan Mo much more.

If it weren’t for Qin Muxiao, they would be able to become good friends with Tan Mo.

Qin Muxiao looked at everyone angrily. Why were they all helping Tan Mo?!

When did these people have such a good relationship with Tan Mo?

“How can we not follow the rules?” Qin Muxiao spoke loudly to cover the other classmates’ voices.

“What rules? You making a loud fuss during the exam and ignoring the teacher is what you mean by rules?” Wei Zhiqian’s voice came from the door.

Everyone looked at the door in unison, and saw a tall figure being illuminated by the sunlight outside, making him hard to see. They could only see the golden glow around his body.

Somehow, the feeling he gave off felt unexpectedly similar to that of Tan Mo.

His shadow on the ground was stretched out, and as the figure moved forward, everyone finally saw the person who came.

Wei Zhiqian came in.

“Teacher, I’m sorry. I’m here to send Tan Mo stationery.” Wei Zhiqian explained, “I just saw her running to the stationery store in a hurry, so I told her to come back first and I’ll buy her.”

The invigilator said to Tan Mo with relief, “It’s good that the stationery has been bought. You must check your stationery next time. Don’t make any mistakes like this again. Quickly sit down and take the time to take the exam.”

“Yes, thank you teacher.” Tan Mo obediently agreed, but she did not immediately return to her seat and walked in front of Wei Zhiqian instead. Because of the height difference, raising her head became extremely difficult. “Little Uncle, thank you. ”

With that said, Tan Mo hurriedly returned to her seat.

Although she was absent just now, the test paper was still on her desk.

“Everyone, hurry up and continue the exam!” The teacher urged, “Focus and concentrate on answering the questions.”

Wei Zhiqian glanced at Tan Mo, as if confirming again.

Tan Mo was also looking at him.

Seeing him look over, Tan Mo narrowed her eyes with a smile and waved at him.

Wei Zhiqian couldn’t help but smile, and then he left.

Qin Muxiao kept watching, but from beginning to end, Wei Zhiqian never glanced at her.

He came here this time to speak up for Tan Mo!

Qin Muxiao gritted her teeth angrily, looked at the test paper full of questions, but was unable to concentrate on answering them for a long time.

Tan Mo had already started focusing, and was carefully doing calculations.

Because she was already 10 minutes late and was troubled by Qin Muxiao, a lot of time was wasted.

Now, her time was very tight.

Tan Mo’s exam questions were different from those of her classmates. They were much more difficult and more complicated.

Tan Mo had focused all her attention on the questions since a while ago, and she didn’t care about her surroundings at all.

When the bell signaling the end of the exam rang, Tan Mo relaxed from a highly concentrated state of mind.

She suddenly felt like she was on the verge of collapse. Her head throbbed and she was dazed. She wanted her mind to stay blank like this, and she didn’t even want to say anything.

The invigilator took the exam papers and went out. As soon as he left the academic building, he saw Wei Zhiqian waiting at the entrance.

“Teacher.” Wei Zhiqian came forward.

“Wei Zhiqian, what’s the matter?” The teacher asked while holding the exam papers.

“Qin Muxiao disturbed the order of the examination room, so shouldn’t she get credits deducted?” Wei Zhiqian seemed to be asking, but in reality, he was reminding him.

Jixia Academy not only looked at the final exam results, but also counted credits. These two factors would be combined to determine the average grade.

The invigilator nodded and said, “I will report this matter to the teachers on the discipline committee, then the teachers of the discipline committee will make a decision according to the regulations and determine how many points will be deducted.”

This was what Wei Zhiqian wanted.

It didn’t matter how many credits were deducted, but points had to be deducted.

They couldn’t let Qin Muxiao get away with making a fuss, right?

They must let Qin Muxiao suffer the consequences.

In the class, Tan Mo didn’t know that Wei Zhiqian was blocking the way of the teacher outside, asking for an explanation.

She recovered a little bit, and she heard Ming Yeqing say, “If I had arrived earlier, it would have been fine. I could have lent you a pen or something.”

“It’s okay, the exam has been successfully completed anyway, and I have enough stationery to deal with the following exams.” Tan Mo put the stationery box in her school bag. Having learned a lesson from what happened in the morning, she must carry it with her this time.

Even though there are a lot of people in the class so it wouldn’t be easy for Qin Muxiao to make a move, Tan Mo felt that it was better to be careful.

“I’ll ask Muye how she did on the exam.” Tan Mo said with her school bag on her back.

“I’ll go with you.” Ming Yeqing didn’t want to be harassed by Qin Muxiao.

And, he got along well with Tan Mo this semester, so he also became familiar with Qin Muye, and their relationship was pretty good as well.

The two of them went to Qin Muye’s class, which was next door, together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they went out, before they could look for Qin Muye, she was stopped by Li Xingyun. “Tan Mo.”

Tan Mo stopped and waited for her.

Walking up to Tan Mo, Li Xingyun whispered, “Tan Mo, can I talk to you alone?”

“I’ll go to Muye first.” Ming Yeqing said and went to the door of Qin Muye’s class.

Li Xingyun said, “I’m sorry, Qin Muxiao asked me to lure you out in the morning. Although I didn’t know what she intended to do, I also knew that she was definitely up to no good. It was just that I… didn’t dare to offend her. …”

“Why did you come to apologize to me?” Tan Mo asked.

“Because I feel guilty.” Li Xingyun said.

Tan Mo shook her head. “If I only had the Tan family and didn’t have Uncle Zhiqian to back me up, would you still come to apologize to me?”

Li Xingyun was stunned, and she thought about it seriously, then said, “I would. During the exam today, in order not to affect us, you would rather not take the exam. You are a kind person, but I helped others to bully a good person like you. My guilty conscience won’t let me have peace of mind.
