Chapter 194: Chapter 194
While everyone was marveling and lamenting that Gu Anxi had missed by only one point, Qin Siyuan’s heart was pounding.
The question he had gotten wrong was reportedly set by the Honorary President of Education himself; it was a difficult one. However, Gu Anxi had answered it correctly. The questions Gu Anxi missed were all multiple-choice; strangely, she got every single one of them wrong, including the simplest fill-in-the-blank question.
Qin Siyuan suspected she was sandbagging. Such a possibility deeply unsettled him.
His male pride felt like it was being pressed to the floor and ground into it...
This was exactly the vibe Gu Anxi was going for.
Shen Wanqing had threatened to humiliate her round after round? Fine. Then she’d let Qin Siyuan know what it felt like to be ground into the floor.
Early the next morning, a new round of voting began on the campus network. The situation had changed drastically.
Qin Siyuan... 3,023 votes.
Gu Anxi... 3,500 votes.
She had made a comeback.
This was a moral victory, and quite a slap in the face for the senior student council president.
Qin Siyuan sat quietly in the examination hall, waiting for Gu Anxi.
Today, only the two of them would be taking the exam. Instead of five papers, it would be a single comprehensive test.
The department head was invigilating. Fınd the newest release on novel※fire.net
When Gu Anxi came in, the department head looked at her with a benevolent expression. "Student Gu, please take the seat next to Qin Siyuan."
Heh, some people had doubted Qing University’s fairness, so this exam was under full camera surveillance.
Additionally, the test papers were available in three difficulty levels: Normal, Intermediate-Advanced, and Super Difficult.
The department head had allowed Qing University students to vote on the campus network to decide which test paper to use.
Since these were senior-level topics, it was undoubtedly advantageous for Qin Siyuan. Shen Wanqing had used the student council’s influence, and ultimately, the Super Difficult paper received the most votes.
Siyuan should have no problem. She just wanted to see Gu Anxi make a fool of herself—it was entirely possible for Gu Anxi to fail such difficult senior-level questions!
This time, Shen Wanqing was very confident. Even though Siyuan didn’t agree with her methods, she couldn’t care less. Beyond just saving face, she also had to achieve something to show Uncle Qin that she could be a capable helpmate for Siyuan.
The department head checked the campus network and chuckled. "Alright then, let’s go with the most difficult set of questions. Prepare yourselves. None of these questions are simple. You have 100 minutes in total. Timing will begin as soon as the papers are distributed."
Qin Siyuan nodded slightly, then looked at Gu Anxi.
There was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
He liked Gu Anxi; he had liked her for many years. But now, they were on opposing sides. No matter how much he liked her, he had to temporarily set those feelings aside.
Gu Anxi also gazed at him. This was probably the last time they would look at each other from such a short distance.
She spoke softly, "Qin Siyuan, I won’t go easy on you, and you don’t need to hold back either."
The atmosphere grew taut. The entire school was watching the live broadcast.
Time ticked by, second by second. In the 62nd minute, Gu Anxi submitted her paper.
Qin Siyuan looked at her in surprise. He still had several major questions unanswered.
Gu Anxi walked out ramrod straight, under his stunned gaze and the astonished eyes of the entire faculty and student body.
The department head held her paper, tsk-tsking several times. Even if that genius who won the major Chemistry Prize were to do this paper, it would probably take them this long, wouldn’t it?
Could it be that Gu Anxi was another such genius?
Principal Wang sat in his office, smiling happily. She *is* that genius!
Mr. Li sat in his office, also watching the live broadcast, and chuckled. When the President makes a move, all of Qing University combined is no match for her.
