Chapter 90 — Taking It Out on the Exam Paper
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Unfortunately, Shen Yushu's and Gu Mengyao's papers were always exchanged between the two of them. Although after so long Shen Yushu looked rather suspect for using her post for private ends, no one would invite a snub by exposing it.
This time, however, Shen Yushu had given Gu Mengyao's paper to Wei Zhao, holding Wei Zhao's and her own papers back until the last. She meant to save Wei Zhao's paper for Gu Mengyao, staging a coincidence.
After she finished handing them out, Shen Yushu went back to her seat with two papers in hand, laid them before Gu Mengyao, and said with a giggle, "Sister Yaoyao, pick one?"
"What do you mean? Don't we always mark each other's?" Gu Mengyao looked at Shen Yushu in puzzlement.
"Uh... this time... I gave yours out by mistake..." Shen Yushu explained. "So..."
"Never mind..." Gu Mengyao knew that since Shen Yushu did this every time, a slip was bound to happen sooner or later. One lapse in attention and a paper could go astray. "Whatever, either will do."
Since it was not her own paper anyway, Gu Mengyao naturally cared even less.
"Oh, then take this one." Shen Yushu tossed Wei Zhao's paper to Gu Mengyao, quietly holding her own back.
"Wei Zhao?" Gu Mengyao glanced at the name on the paper and froze briefly, then caught on to something. Turning to stare at Shen Yushu, who sat with her head buried, pretending solemnly that nothing had happened, she knew at once this was her mischief. "Xiao Shu!"
"Uh... Sister Yaoyao, what is it?" Shen Yushu looked up with a beaming smile, all innocence.
"Let me see your paper." Gu Mengyao eyed the paper Shen Yushu was clutching tightly and moved to grab it.
"Huh? What is there to see..." Shen Yushu felt guilty and held it down even tighter.
"Give it to me." Gu Mengyao forcibly snatched Shen Yushu's paper away, and fearing it would tear, Shen Yushu had to let go. Gu Mengyao glanced at the seized paper, found it was Shen Yushu's own, and glared with anger. "Xiao Shu, where did you put my paper?"
"Uh... I gave it to Shield Brother... let him mess with it..." Shen Yushu thought wickedly. Yes, mess with it...
"You are driving me crazy!" Gu Mengyao was at a loss for words at Shen Yushu's antics, but luckily she had grown used to her ways by now. Knowing she was the type who delighted in stirring up trouble, she could say no more.
Even so, Gu Mengyao kept her eyes locked on Wei Zhao's paper, seized the red marker, and without rhyme or reason began slashing 'X' marks all over it, right or wrong, from beginning to end. At last she scrawled a huge "0" on the paper, flung the marker aside, and let out a long breath. She had poured all her anger into the paper.
