Chapter 358 Top Scholar

Shen Xiaoxiao leaned closer to Xingyun and whispered in his ear, "Xingyun, tell me, why didn't you give it your all during the exam?!"

Upon hearing her words, Dai Xingyun's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. He mimicked Shen Xiaoxiao's manner, lowering his voice and whispering in her ear, "How do you know I didn't go all out?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes dismissively. Although the gesture was rather unseemly, she simply couldn't resist it.

She retorted irritably, "Do you think I don't know your level? How could you possibly have only scored up to the minimum admission score?"

"What are you two whispering about here? You didn't even bother to say hello or come over to report for duty. That's outrageous!" Xiahou Jie suddenly appeared from behind the two of them, muttering under his breath.

"Oh my god!" Shen Xiaoxiao was startled by the sudden sound. She slapped her chest as if she had been electrocuted, her heart pounding in her chest. "You stinky Xiahou, you scared me to death!"

"I was just saying hello to you guys normally, why are you making such a fuss?" Xiahou Jie defended himself innocently.

"What do you think? A perfectly normal person is talking behind you. If it were you, wouldn't you be scared? I'm too lazy to argue with you. Just go and report for duty!" Shen Xiaoxiao waved her hand impatiently.

"Alright, I'm going to report now. We can have a good chat after I'm done." Xiahou Jie said, taking a brown paper bag out of his bag and quickly walking up to the teacher, handing the bag to him.

Registration was completed quickly, and I received my student ID.

"What are you looking at so intently?" Xiahou Jie turned around and saw the two men staring at the group of people in front of him.

"Looking at the top scorers in the college entrance exam," Shen Xiaoxiao replied casually, but her gaze never left the crowd.

"Where? Let me see too." Upon hearing this, Xiahou Jie quickly craned his neck and looked in the direction Shen Xiaoxiao was looking.

"It's Qin Tian, ​​that kid," Xiahou Jie spotted Qin Tian standing in the center of the crowd at a glance.

He turned to look at Dai Xingyun, "Isn't that kid the one with the biggest grudge against you? He got the top score in the college entrance exam this time, while you're nobody. Do you think he'll come over and brag to you?"

Dai Xingyun glanced at Qin Tian expressionlessly, said indifferently, "Boring!" Then he turned around and pulled Shen Xiaoxiao out.

"Hey, Xingyun, wait for me! Don't walk so fast!" Xiahou Jie shouted hurriedly as he chased after her.

Qin Tian heard Xiahou Jie's voice and turned around. When he saw Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao, a look of surprise appeared on his face. "It's him."

He hesitated for a moment, then strode over and stood in front of Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao. "It really is you. I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

Xiahou Jie looked at Qin Tian with a smile on his face, "I heard you were the top scorer in the college entrance examination, that's pretty impressive."

"I feel good too," Qin Tian said to Dai Xingyun.

Shen Xiaoxiao stood quietly to the side without saying a word.

"Dai Xingyun, what happened? Why did you perform so poorly in this exam? You actually ranked last!" Qin Tian looked at Dai Xingyun with a mocking expression, making no attempt to hide his schadenfreude.

Faced with Qin Tian's sarcasm, Dai Xingyun remained unusually calm. A slight smile played on his lips as he replied unhurriedly, "Whether you're at the very front or the very back of the line, doesn't it all mean you'll get into school? What's the difference?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Dai Xingyun's answer.

He snorted and continued, "You've really changed since you went to the countryside! When we were in school together, you always beat me! You didn't do this exam on purpose, did you?"

Dai Xingyun smiled, seemingly finding Qin Tian's words somewhat laughable.

He shook his head and said, "Brother, you're overthinking it. Why would I deliberately do poorly on the test? Just know that you're now the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and that's enough."

At this moment, Xiahou Jie interjected, "That's right, Qin Tian, ​​don't overthink it. Dai Xingyun is right, as long as you pass the exam, the ranking doesn't matter." After saying that, he patted Qin Tian's shoulder earnestly.

However, Qin Tian was not relieved by Xiahou Jie's words.

He continued to stare intently at Dai Xingyun, seemingly trying to glean some clue from his expression.

Seeing this, Dai Xingyun didn't want to get entangled with Qin Tian any longer. He took Shen Xiaoxiao's hand and turned to leave.

But Qin Tian refused to give up. He rushed forward and blocked Dai Xingyun's path once again.

"You did this on purpose!" Qin Tian glared at Dai Xingyun and said through gritted teeth.

Dai Xingyun stopped and glanced helplessly at Qin Tian, ​​saying indifferently, "It really doesn't matter, as long as you pass the exam."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian deflated like a punctured balloon, his entire body drooping.

Looking at the person in front of her, Shen Xiaoxiao felt a pang of pity and said softly, "Let's go."

Dai Xingyun's lips curled into a gentle smile as he softly replied, "Mm!"

Just then, Qin Tian suddenly came into their view.

He stared wide-eyed at Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao, his face filled with astonishment.

"Who is she?" Qin Tian asked, pointing at Shen Xiaoxiao, his voice trembling slightly.

Dai Xingyun answered without hesitation, "This is my girlfriend." His tone revealed an undisguised pride, as he was happy to introduce Shen Xiaoxiao to others.

Qin Tian's reaction completely surprised Dai Xingyun.

He asked incredulously, as if he had heard a shocking secret, "What? Your boyfriend? You're dating someone? What about Sister Tiantian?"

Dai Xingyun frowned slightly, looking at Qin Tian with some displeasure, and asked, "Sister Tian, ​​what Sister Tian? What does she have to do with me?"

Qin Tian was clearly angered by Dai Xingyun's attitude. He raised his voice and said angrily, "What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? Sister Tiantian clearly said that she is dating you."

Dai Xingyun's face darkened. He turned to Shen Xiaoxiao and quickly explained, "Xiaoxiao, don't believe what he said. I don't know any Tiantian."

Then, he turned to Qin Tian and said, "Qin Tian, ​​don't talk nonsense. Who is this 'Sister Tian' you're talking about?"

Upon seeing this, Qin Tian said loudly, "Wei Tiantian, a girl from Wei's hometown, your deskmate who sat next to you in high school."
