<h4>Chapter 267: Out!</h4><h4><strong>Editor: </strong>Dragon Boat Trantion </h4>
Furthermore, she was sitting at the back of the bus, feeling dizzy and nauseous.
Next to her sat a very cute girl who noticed that Nan Yan’s face had turned pale. She asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling unwell, Nan Yan?"
"It’s okay," Nan Yan pinched her brow, "I’m a little carsick."
The girl took out two pieces of peppermint candy from her pocket and offered them, "Here, have a candy, it might make you feel better!"
Nan Yan epted, saying, "Thank you."
After eating the peppermint candy, her motion sickness symptoms did improve quite a bit, and her stomach felt less ufortable.
"Nan Yan, we still have over an hour before we reach the First High School. How about leaning on my shoulder and getting some rest?"
Nan Yan shook her head, "No need, I’m fine."
She wasn’t very ustomed to epting kindness from strangers, but she was grateful nheless.
"What’s your name?"
"I’m Song Tianqing," Song Tianqing said quietly. "Nan Yan, you’re my idol. Being able to participate in the physicspetition with you and sitting next to you is really amazing!"
She was her idol?
Nan Yan was quite surprised, but she patted the girl’s shoulder and said two words, "Good luck."
"Okay!"
Nan Yan intended not to sleep, but the difort from motion sickness made her unknowingly drift off.
When the bus finally stopped, Song Tianqing quietly called her name.
She opened her eyes and realized that she had been leaning on Song Tianqing’s shoulder. One of Song Tianqing’s hands was ced on her waist, supporting her to prevent her from sliding off her seat.
Seeing Song Tianqing’s slightly blushing cheeks, it was...
Quite awkward.
Nan Yan quickly straightened up.
"Thank you."
Song Tianqing shook her head. "No need to be polite. After a nap, are you feeling better now?"
"Much better."
"That’s good. Get yourself together quickly and don’t miss thepetitionter."
After they got off the bus, the teacher in charge handed her a bottle of water.
"Student Nan Yan, how are you feeling?"
She unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. "I’m okay."
The teacher in charge nodded and then went to attend to other students.
There was a little over half an hour left until thepetition, and the examinees could start entering the examination room.
Nan Yan replied to a few messages on her phone and then handed it over to the teacher for safekeeping.
Song Tianqing was thrilled when she saw Nan Yan enter the ssroom. "We’re in the same examination room!"
Although they were quite far apart, with one sitting in the fourth seat from the left and the other in the third-tost seat from the right.
Nan Yan gestured to her, saying, "Good luck!"
"Good luck!"
When the bell rang, the invigtor came in with the exam papers.
The papers were distributed, and after ncing at the questions, Nan Yan began answering them.
In less than half an hour, she had finished all the questions and, seeing that there was still an hour and a half left, decided to take a nap.
The invigtor frowned when she saw Nan Yan put down her pen so early and nap with her head on the desk.
In such a short amount of time, she probably hadn’t even answered half of the questions. Where did this student get the courage to participate in a physicspetition?
The invigtor nced at Nan Yan a few times and then shifted her gaze away, expressionless.
She couldn’t be bothered to look at her any longer.
No matter which school they came from, they were just here to make up the numbers.
Nan Yan was in the midst of a peaceful nap when suddenly a stern voice woke her up.
"Cheating in the exam! Right now, I request that you leave the examination room immediately!"
"I didn’t cheat!" Song Tianqing appeared anxious and aggrieved. "Teacher, this note isn’t mine. I’ve been focusing on answering questions the whole time, I didn’t even notice it!"
The invigtor had a stern expression. "If it’s not yours, then why was it on your desk?"
"I don’t know..."
Song Tianqing was feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
She had been diligently working on her exam when the invigtor suddenly came over, picked up a note from her desk, and was about to kick her out.
She hadn’t noticed at all when that note had appeared on her desk!
"Since you can’t exin, it can only prove that you were cheating, and yourpetition eligibility will be revoked."
"Teacher, I didn’t cheat!" Song Tianqing fought back tears. "It’s really not mine. Please, don’t revoke my eligibility. Thispetition means a lot to me!"
"Competitions are important for everyone, but that’s not a reason to cheat."
The invigtor showed no mercy, pointing sternly toward the door and saying, "Out!"
Song Tianqing was startled by his sudden loud voice, and she looked around in confusion. She could only grit her teeth, gather her belongings, and prepare to leave.
"Wait a moment," Nan Yan spoke calmly. "Cheating can’t be the work of just one person. Since it involves passing notes, there must be another cheater."
"I hope the teacher can investigate thoroughly and remove all cheaters from the examination room to ensure fairness."
In the entire examination room, there were a total of thirty-four students. At this moment, no one was continuing to answer questions; they all looked toward them.
Especially Song Tianqing, in her desperate gaze, a glimmer of hope emerged.
She didn’t want to be kicked out; she wanted to participate in thepetition!
The invigtor said in a deep voice, "We can’t dy the time for all students because of one student. Cheating will be investigated after the exam, and we will give an ount to all the students."
"But what if it wasn’t her who cheated? No one would be so foolish as to openly ce cheat sheets on their desks and wait for the teacher to discover them."
Nan Yan pointed to the corner of the wall where there was surveince. "There are eyes that have already captured the entire process. I think it’s better to check the surveince now to determine who was cheating."
"I hope the teacher won’t wrong any innocent students."
The students sitting in front and behind Song Tianqing suddenly looked flustered.
The two of them were ssmates, and the cheat sheet they had just thrown was their handiwork. If Nan Yan didn’t bring up this matter, Song Tianqing would take the fall for them and be kicked out of the examination room, and that would be the end of it.
However, because of Nan Yan’s suggestion, their actions mighte to light.
At this moment, the two male students couldn’t help but harbor resentment toward Nan Yan.
Meanwhile, the invigtor had a troubled expression on his face, but he had to admit that Nan Yan’s reasoning was sound.
The invigtor said sternly, "The rest of you, continue your exams, and you continue writing as well. I will contact other teachers to review the surveince footage."
"For the students who cheated, you can voluntarily step forward now. You will only have yourpetition qualifications revoked. If I discover who it is, not only will yourpetition qualifications be revoked, but it will also be reported to all national universities."
"I’m giving you thest minute to consider."
Song Tianqing sat there with trembling hands, holding a pen and continuing to answer questions, trying to calm herself down and not let the situation affect her.
"Teacher, the other cheater is me."
The male student sitting behind Song Tianqing stood up, cast a resentful nce at Nan Yan, and then lowered his head, saying, "I’m sorry, I cheated."
He pointed at Song Tianqing and said, "But my cheat sheet was for her!"
Song Tianqing, who had just managed to regain someposure, was once again used of cheating. Her emotions were on the verge of copsing. "It’s not me, I don’t even know him!"
"Why are you trying to frame me?"
