Chapter 342: Zi Xuan, Don’t Think of Yourself as Someone Important.”
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zi Yi’s speech had directly incurred the competitiveness of the majority of the students present.
She just happened to brush past Yang Wenhao when she walked down the podium.
Yang Wenhao stopped by her side and sneered. “I’d advise you to not be so arrogant. Otherwise, when you get slapped across the face with the results, no one would sympathize with you.”
Zi Yi tilted her head and glanced at him. Her lips curled up and she said, “If you can’t stand me, you can come and ask to challenge me.”
Having said that, she walked back to her seat.
She had angered Yang Wenhao to the extent that he wished he could ask to compete with her right away.
Following that, the spectators all noticed that when the second freshman was giving his speech, he was extremely impassioned. That expression of his was as if he could flip the whole auditorium upside down.
Director Huang who was sitting beside Zi Yi asked, “Little Zi, did you provoke Student Yang Wenhao earlier?”
Zi Yi replied with a calm expression, “I wasn’t the one who provoked him. He was the one who provoked himself.”

Director Huang was first stunned for a moment before he chuckled.
After he had his laugh, he did not forget to say, “However, you’re really confident to have said that. If someone were to look for you to ask for an exchange of pointers, please let me know.”
Another Director, seated beside Director Huang said, “Director Huang, don’t tell me you are thinking of watching a good show?”
“Haha…” Director Huang said, “Director Liu, don’t you know of something called ‘not exposing despite realizing the truth?’”
“I’m from the School of Science and Technology so how would I possibly know the proverbs or idioms of your School of Language.” Director Liu made a serious statement. However, the tune of his following sentence had changed. “Student Zi, if someone were to ask to exchange pointers with you, especially if it’s from the School of Information Technology, do let me know too.”
Zi Yi and Director Huang: “…”
As soon as the opening ceremony ended, Zi Yi was stopped by Yang Wenhao at the entrance of the auditorium.
“Student Zi, I want to exchange pointers with you right now. Please agree to it.”
In such a short time frame, the two of them had been surrounded by at least three layers of the crowd.
Other than to watch a show, some of the spectators were even there to jeer at her.
“We can testify that Student Zi has said this before.”
“That’s right since she dared to say that out loud in public, she should be prepared for other people looking for her to exchange pointers.”
…
Hua Xiaoli who was standing outside the crowd gloated at Zi Yi’s plight and said to Zi Xuan, who had a darkened expression, “Hmph! Since someone is looking to seek death by themselves, no one can stop them.”
She then turned to Zi Xuan and said, “Zi Xuan, you don’t even need to test her yourself right now. Since the top scorer of the college entrance examination has sent her a challenge, we can just wait for her to get slapped in public.”
Zi Xuan tightened her fists and her expressions darkened even further.
She was thinking deep down: “What if Zi Yi loses? At that time, everyone would know that I am Zi Yi’s younger sister. Zi Yi would not be the only one getting fingers pointed at her, I would also get implicated!”
The more she thought, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Before Zi Yi managed to answer, a loud voice could be heard. “She doesn’t agree!”
Zi Xuan’s voice was extremely loud and she immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
The crowd subconsciously got out of the way and made a path for her.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at Zi Xuan who was staring at her with a fiery gaze and she clicked her tongue unhappily.
Yang Wenhao was also unhappy. He looked at Zi Yi and asked, “You’re going against your words?”
The crowd had also started to comment.
“So it turns out that Student Zi is a coward. She dared to say such obnoxious words before everyone, but right now, she doesn’t dare to accept Student Yang’s challenge.”
Zi Yi’s gaze shifted away from Zi Xuan and asked with an indifferent expression, “Have I ever said that what she says can represent me?”
Everyone was speechless.
Zi Yi sneered. “Why are you so speechless right now?”
Having said that, she looked towards Yang Wenhao. “What do you want to compete in?”
Yang Wenhao’s fists tightened even more and he said, “We’ll do the X test paper. Whoever can finish it first wins.”
Zi Yi looked towards Yang Wenhao and was particularly surprised. “Just this?”
Everyone present. “…”
Why is Zi Yi’s tone of voice so irritating?
Zi Yi did not bother to look at their expressions and raised a suggestion. “It’s too boring to do the X test paper. Why don’t we attempt M.Uni’s question bank? It contains all the difficult questions around the world over the span of ten years. Each of us shall attempt 50 questions, and whoever finishes first shall win.”
Everyone at present: “…?!”
“Zi Yi, are you crazy!?”
…
Zi Xuan walked over in large strides and said in a fluster, “Zi Yi, have you gone crazy from wanting to get famous?”
Zi Yi coldly glanced at her. “I think you wish to become more famous instead.”
“You–”
“Student Yang and I are here discussing the preparations to compete with each other. Why do you keep coming here? Is it to find your reason of existence?”

“I–”
“Aren’t you just worried that I’ll embarrass you if I lose? Zi Xuan, don’t think of yourself as someone important.”
Zi Xuan’s face turned so red that she could not utter a single word.
Zi Yi looked towards Yang Wenhao and said, “So are we competing?”
Yang Wenhao nodded. “Yes, why wouldn’t I compete?”
Isn’t it just the M.Uni’s question bank?
It was not as if he had never attempted those before.
The news of Zi Yi and Yang Wenhao exchanging pointers had spread around very soon.
The majority of the students who had originally left had made their way back to M.Uni.
In the end, it had even alarmed a large group of higher-ups of M.Uni.
Director Huang looked at Yang Wenhao who stood there with a proud expression and he nodded deep down. However, he still asked him out of good intentions, “Student Yang, do you truly intend to exchange pointers with Zi Yi?”
Yang Wenhao studied Mathematics and he belonged to the School of Science and Technology.
Director Chang of the School of Science and Technology was also present.
He was unhappy to hear what Director Huang said, “Director Huang, Student Yang is no worse compared to Zi Yi, so why can’t he exchange pointers with her?”

Director Huang looked at the unhappy Director Chang and said something that made him feel like vomiting blood. “I didn’t mean it that way. What I meant to say is, Since Student Yang had asked to exchange pointers with Zi Yi, why don’t we do it this way? We’ll get Student Yang to do a math paper.”
Director Chang glanced at him. “Director Huang, you sure are arrogant…” And asking for a beating. [1. Director Chang did not say the ‘asking for a beating’ out loud, as he merely thought it deep down.]
Director Huang smiled modestly. “Oh, I’m definitely not trying to be arrogant. The students in our School of Languages like to be modest. Director Chang, I’m sure you know of this too.”
Everyone present was thinking deep down: “The hell with being modest!”
Zi Yi had something to do in the afternoon and when she saw that the situation did not seem to be ending soon, she interrupted. “Aren’t we going to exchange pointers? We’ll do it right now. I’ll leave right away after we’re done.”
Yang Wenhao said, “Okay.”
Since the two people involved had said so, Director Huang and Director Chang stopped bickering.
Director Huang said, “The exchange of pointers should be done formally.”
Director Chang answered, “Then we’ll head to the library located in our School of Science and Technology. We’ll simply bring out two papers for them to do.”
Director Huang glanced at the ‘no manners’ Director Chang, then at Zi Yi.
Zi Yi said, “It’s fine with me.”
Everyone tagged along to the library located in the School of Science and Technology.
When everyone made their way over, the freshmen who had already learned to log in to the school forum had scrambled to upload this incident online. Some of them had even broadcasted it live.
When the large group of people arrived at the library, the seniors who were waiting to watch a show had already surrounded the inside and outside the library.
Zi Xuan who tagged along was angry and anxious at the same time. In particular, Hua Xiaoli kept continuously gloating right beside her.. “We’ll have a good show to see now.”
