Chapter 16
As time passed, most of the students in the classroom had already left.
When the last student walked out, Lan Yuxi finally lifted her small head and looked around with her beautiful eyes.
“Phew~ That was nerve-wracking.”
Seeing that the classroom was finally empty, Lan Yuxi sat up and stuck out her little tongue playfully.
She then used a book to fan herself.
In such hot weather, lying face-down in her arms the whole time had made her feel extremely stuffy.
A strand of her dark hair was even sticking to her fair cheek.
“Forget it, now isn’t the time to cool off. I need to get rid of this note quickly.”
In Lan Yuxi’s palm, she was tightly holding a small piece of paper.
It was the cheat sheet she had copied from the answers in the office that morning.
There were two in total.
The first one had already been used for the exam in the morning.
Now it was time to destroy the evidence.
Lan Yuxi stood up and left the classroom.
While looking around cautiously, she headed toward the girls’ restroom.
Fortunately, it was lunchtime.
The students had gone home to eat, while the teachers were dining in the cafeteria.
At this moment, the girls’ restroom was completely empty.
Back in 2002, restrooms weren’t as clean and well-designed as the public restrooms of later years. There were no individual stalls either.
Instead, they were separated by white ceramic tile partitions, with a long drainage channel running underneath.
Lan Yuxi walked to the far end and stepped on the flush pedal.
Because it was summer, she was wearing a pair of thin-strap sandals.
Her feet were very beautiful—fair and flawless, with elegant arches. Even the faint veins on the top of her feet could be seen.
“Splash—”
The sound of rushing water echoed.
Lan Yuxi tore the note into pieces, preparing to throw them down.
“Looks like my guess was right. The class monitor really is doing something naughty.”
But at that moment, a hand suddenly grabbed Lan Yuxi’s slender wrist, and a lazy voice sounded beside her ear.
“Ah!”
Already feeling guilty, and now suddenly grabbed, Lan Yuxi was so frightened she tried to scream.
But this was the girls’ restroom. Qi Lin couldn’t let her shout, or if someone came, things would become troublesome.
“Mmm—!”
Qi Lin used his other hand to cover her mouth, forcing the scream back down her throat.
“Ding! The class monitor Lan Yuxi has been caught by the host destroying evidence after cheating on an exam. The host must now make a choice.”
“Option 1: Ignore Lan Yuxi destroying the evidence and choose to cover for her. Reward: Lan Yuxi Favorability +1.”
“Option 2: Take Lan Yuxi to the homeroom teacher and expose her cheating on the spot. Reward: A set of correct answers for the two exams this afternoon.”
“Option 3: Lan Yuxi, you wouldn’t want everyone to know about your cheating, would you? Reward: Qi Xueyao’s diary.”
Whenever something critical happened, the God-Level Choice System would appear at just the right moment.
Hearing the almost identical options as last time, Qi Lin smiled.
“I choose Option 3.”
Without even needing to think, he made his decision silently.
System: “Ding! Choice confirmed. The reward will be issued automatically after the host completes the selected option.”
“Hiss—!”
Qi Lin suddenly sucked in a breath and withdrew his hand.
This little woman had actually bitten him.
“Smack!”
Qi Lin slapped her.
“Are you a dog or something? Why are you biting people?”
Lan Yuxi’s pretty face instantly turned red.
Her beautiful eyes glared at Qi Lin with embarrassment and anger.
“You shameless pervert… W-where are you hitting?!”
Her voice was already quite loud. If someone were outside the restroom right now, they would definitely hear it.
Qi Lin shook his hand and didn’t get angry. Instead, he simply smiled faintly.
“Class monitor, you can shout even louder. That way everyone will know I entered the girls’ restroom—and that you cheated on the exam.”
Swish—
Qi Lin’s words made Lan Yuxi’s expression change slightly.
Now she was certain that Qi Lin truly knew about her cheating.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t cheat at all. On the contrary, you barged into the girls’ restroom to act like a pervert. I’ll report you to the teacher in a moment.”
Lan Yuxi was very clever.
Taking advantage of the moment when Qi Lin loosened his grip, she immediately threw the shredded note in her hand into the toilet.
The pieces of paper were swept away by the water until they disappeared completely.
Seeing this, Lan Yuxi looked at Qi Lin with a hint of pride in her beautiful eyes.
Now that the evidence had been flushed away, what could he possibly do even if he knew she cheated?
If they went to the teacher, would the teacher believe her—the excellent class monitor—or Qi Lin, the notorious rich second-generation troublemaker?
“Alright then. The evidence is gone, so you think you have nothing to fear now, right?”
Qi Lin smiled faintly.
“Qi Lin, if I were you, I’d turn around and leave right now. Since it’s your first offense, I won’t hold it against you this time.”
Lan Yuxi had her own considerations.
Although she really wanted to shout and attract people to catch Qi Lin red-handed in the girls’ restroom—
The problem was, she had indeed cheated on the exam.
Even though the evidence had been destroyed, when the results came out and all her answers were correct—combined with the fact that she had been to the office—it would still be hard to completely clear suspicion.
So rather than forcing both sides into mutual destruction, it was better to just let Qi Lin leave now.
“Let me go? But what if I don’t want to let you go?”
Even after Lan Yuxi destroyed the evidence, Qi Lin wasn’t nervous at all. Instead, he stepped closer, his dark eyes carrying a trace of wicked amusement.
“Y-you… what do you want? If you come any closer, I’m going to call for help.”
Lan Yuxi was startled by Qi Lin suddenly taking the initiative. She hugged her arms and quickly stepped back.
What she couldn’t understand even more was this:
Qi Lin was clearly the weaker party right now.
So how did he dare to speak to her in such a tone?
