CHAPTER 675: CHAPTER 675: BEHIND-THE-SCENES ACTIONS

Zhan Yi bit her lip, unable to resist searching for her own name, only to find it indeed at the bottom of the list.

She clenched her fists involuntarily.

Seeing Zhan Yi’s expression, the counselor next to her thought she was upset, and offhandedly comforted her, "Zhan Yi, don’t be discouraged, even if you didn’t do well this time, you can try again next semester."

"Our students at Kyoto University are fundamentally sound."

"It’s just because of learning a foreign language, you’re not quite used to it yet, but it will be better next year."

Hearing the counselor comforting her, Zhan Yi looked up at the counselor.

After a while, Zhan Yi hesitantly said to the counselor, "Teacher, Xia Chuyi... that Xia Chuyi... didn’t she miss a lot of classes during midterms?"

"She, she... she did so well on this exam... is it possible..."

"Is it possible that she got some study materials from Professor Bao?"

Zhan Yi was implying that she suspected Xia Chuyi of cheating.

"What did you say?" The counselor, who was initially amiable, suddenly looked at Zhan Yi displeasedly upon hearing this.

The counselor exclaimed, "Zhan Yi, how could you think that way!"

"Are you doubting the integrity of student Xia Chuyi and Professor Bao?"

The counselor, somewhat angry, rebuked Zhan Yi, "You suspect student Xia Chuyi of cheating, suspect Professor Bao of solving problems, suspect other faculty members of being unfair?"

A series of questions left Zhan Yi dumbfounded.

"No, no, I didn’t mean that!" Zhan Yi quickly said, "I’m not doubting the teacher’s fairness; I’m just suspecting Xia Chuyi!"

"She, she’s an assistant for Professor Bao; it’s indeed possible that she could have accessed study materials, right?"

Upon hearing this, the counselor, looking disappointed, shook her head and said directly, "Zhan Yi, there’s something wrong with your consciousness!"

"You did badly on the exam, so you suspect a fellow student who did well?"

"That way of thinking is completely wrong!"

Accusing a fellow student of cheating and implicating the school’s teachers, especially Professor Bao—can you casually slander someone of Professor Bao’s stature and background?

The counselor was extremely frustrated.

And on the other side, Zhan Yi, scolded by the counselor, suddenly had tears in her eyes and said in a particularly aggrieved tone, "I really didn’t mean it..."

The counselor waved her hand, not wanting to listen to Zhan Yi’s defense, and said sternly, "Alright, Zhan Yi, go back and reflect on this."

"In the future, do not speak recklessly without evidence."

Feeling aggrieved and unwilling, Zhan Yi left the office and returned to her dormitory with gritted teeth, feeling depressed.

"Zhan Yi, how did you do on the exam?"

"Alright, alright," Zhan Yi didn’t tell the truth.

However, since they were all in the same dormitory, someone was bound to notice her grades.

"Zhan Yi, why did you do so poorly?" someone in the dormitory said, "Xia Chuyi missed a lot of time yet still did well!"

Hearing her classmate say that, Zhan Yi felt even more unhappy and got up to leave the dorm.

After leaving the dorm, the more Zhan Yi thought about it, the more upset she became, thinking: She just didn’t believe Xia Chuyi did well on the exam on her own!

She shifted her gaze, went off campus to buy some stationery and envelopes, wrote several anonymous complaint letters, and mailed them out everywhere.

"Xia Chuyi, let’s see how long you can stay happy!"
