Chapter 94: Gaining Respect
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mei Shu narrowed her eyes, not surprised at all that the system would issue this task.
Having been with the system for so long, she had figured out many of its patterns. So, her previous provocation towards Zhou Li was intended to make her reveal her intention to test Mei Shu’s knowledge.
This way, Mei Shu could take advantage of the situation and gain some benefits from the system!
However, Zhou Li had no idea about Mei Shu’s calculations. She still believed that she could embarrass Mei Shu in front of Lu Yan and felt proud of it.
The commotion caught the attention of many teachers and students, even the principal was curious and looked over.
The grade director looked and found that Mei Shu was again involved in an incident. He couldn’t help but get angry, “Principal, I will go and warn her to keep quiet for a while.”
“Don’t move,” the principal raised his hand to stop him, gesturing to remain calm. “Let’s watch first. This little girl is interesting.”
The grade director stared at Mei Shu with anger and sat back, cursing her in his heart.
Originally, under his management, all the students in the third year of high school paid no attention to anything other than their studies, and the school had never encountered any major issues.
However, after Mei Shu came, there was actually a scandal of money theft.
This was indeed embarrassing for him!
Although the investigation later revealed that the money incident had nothing to do with Mei Shu, the real thief was not caught. The grade director could only vent his anger on Mei Shu, treating her as a punching bag.
At this moment, many people were eavesdropping on Zhou Li testing Mei Shu’s English spelling.
Originally, they were all gloating because last time only Mei Shu’s math paper was checked. But they heard that her English was also terrible.
They thought that it would be impossible for her to excel in English in such a short period of time, a subject that required a solid foundation.
Liu Kai had suffered from Mei Shu last time, and now he saw an opportunity to mock her. He immediately came over to watch.
Zhou Li was very satisfied with the current situation.
She just wanted Mei Shu to lose face in front of Lu Yan, but now so many classmates were looking over. Even if Mei Shu embarrassed herself in front of the whole grade, Zhou Li would not be blamed for it!
Her calculations were well-thought-out, and she chose one of the most difficult and longest words from the two pages of words to test Mei Shu.
It was a word that many people often got wrong, and Mei Shu had only recited it for less than two minutes. It would be impossible for her to remember it securely.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Mei Shu calmly spelled out the word.
Zhou Li thought it was a fluke and continued to quiz Mei Shu on more than a dozen words, but Mei Shu answered all of them fluently.
Now, the smile on Zhou Li’s face couldn’t be maintained.
Seeing that she couldn’t stump her, Liu Kai angrily took the textbook and picked a word that he often spelled wrong to test Mei Shu.
Mei Shu said expressionlessly, “Liu Kai, did I let you touch my English book?”
In a fit of rage, Liu Kai was about to throw the book on the ground, but caught a glimpse of the ice-cold expression of Lu Yan from the corner of his eye. His hand trembled and he quickly changed his mind, stuffing the book back into Zhou Li’s hands.
Holding the textbook, Zhou Li felt like she was holding a hot potato.
She wanted to see Mei Shu embarrass herself, not to let Mei Shu earn the admiration of others!
The voices of praise for Mei Shu around her grew louder and louder, and Zhou Li suddenly felt like she was shooting herself in the foot, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
“Aren’t you going to continue? There are still so many words left,” Mei Shu curiously asked.
Zhou Li gritted her teeth and turned to the next page, betting that Mei Shu wouldn’t remember the last few words.
But she was destined to be disappointed.
Mei Shu now had the ability to memorize things at a glance, and there was nothing that could stump her.
Zhou Li felt like tearing the English textbook apart, but with teachers watching, she could only put on a forced smile, “Lu Yan is right; your memory is indeed impressive.”
“Thank you,” Mei Shu replied with a faint smile.
[Congratulations, the host has successfully completed the word memorization task, and earned 10 points.]
A slight smile appeared on Mei Shu’s lips.
Lu Yan twisted open a juice bottle cap and handed it to her, “You did well. Keep up the good work.”
“Thank you,” Mei Shu took the juice without thinking and drank a sip. Only after drinking it did she realize that this was the juice that Zhou Li had specially brought for Lu Yan.
She put down the juice slowly and looked at Zhou Li, noticing her face turning as dark as the bottom of a pot, with a gaze that seemed to want to strip her naked.
Feeling uneasy under her gaze, AAei Shu put down the juice and said apologetically, “Sorry.”
Zhou Li took a deep breath and said, “It’s nothing. I have plenty of them at home. Next time, I’ll bring another bottle for Brother Lu Yan.”
“You are so considerate,” Mei Shu replied with a guilty conscience and continued to study.
“Are you mocking me?” Zhou Li gritted her teeth.
Mei Shu shook her head slowly, “Why would I? By the way, you’ve lost but you haven’t sung.”
Zhou Li was furious, almost choking on the air in her chest. Her face turned purple like a ripe eggplant. However, she had to admit defeat and give in to Mei Shu. Mei Shu studied while Zhou Li was singing for her as promised..
