… What? Accusing Meng Huange of cheating?
Then letting Wu Yanshen be humiliated and mocked by everyone, and being driven out of the Su Family…
“So malicious…!”
Cheng Xun understood the task the System had given.
Su Xiaojin’s sharp perception caught the subtlety of the situation and immediately reacted, letting out a sound of realization.
Luckily, Su Xiaoli, who already had quite a bit of experience, quickly caught her own voice and pulled it back, while only some of the students from the Zhou State subconsciously lowered their heads and glanced around, though none dared to speak up.
The brown-haired girl standing beside Su Wanli suddenly heard that familiar voice.
Meng Huange subconsciously loosened the tense grip on her brows and glanced at Su Wanli beside her, revealing a probing look in her eyes.
Su Wanli immediately shook her head, then silently showed two fingers crossed in front of her, signaling Meng Huange not to speak or ask questions.
Meng Huange obediently nodded, then used her thumb and index finger to make a checkmark (v), before lowering her head again and focusing on her own test answers.
… Good thing. It would have been terrible if she had become the weird girl making angry noises in class.
No, compared to being treated like a freak—such a trivial and irrelevant matter—the more important thing now was…
Su Wanli took a deep breath, pushed aside her Chinese test paper, and furiously tapped the desktop with the tip of her pen.
… No wonder this damn System hadn’t stopped her from getting close to Meng Huange all along.
It even encouraged her to build a connection with Meng Huange, making her think things might improve.
Turns out, it was waiting here to trap her!
First, make her pretend to get along with Meng Huange, then stab her in the back when the time came.
Let Meng Huange experience a harsh fall from grace, from the clouds down to the ground, right?
What a villainous Villainess System, that could even be this ruthless…
And the timing of the Mission was Meng Huange’s first test after transferring schools.
If she succeeded in framing Meng Huange, no matter how well Meng Huange performed afterward, she’d be branded a cheater forever, unable to rise in Baiying Academy again.
Such a sinister trap.
Once it was sprung, the goodwill she had so painstakingly built up would immediately vanish, and Meng Huange’s hatred toward her would multiply…
[What’s wrong, Host? Need the System to introduce some common framing methods for you?]
Ignoring Su Wanli’s complex inner turmoil, the System casually began explaining the specific plan for this Mission—
[For example, marking Meng Huange’s desk with certain symbols, leaving traces of mathematical formulas on the desk, slipping a few torn textbook pages under the test paper, or secretly placing a pen containing little poems and tricks.]
No way, isn’t that too much?
How could Meng Huange possibly have done any of those things?
She already had so many notebooks; the test material should definitely be memorized in her brain by now, right?
Su Wanli instinctively tried to find a flaw in the plan, hoping to back out.
If she openly accused Meng Huange without any proof, when the teacher found nothing, wouldn’t she be the one who looked bad?
Using such a cheap tactic to let the villainess win isn’t exactly a highlight moment for the heroine, right?
No, my reaction as the protagonist in opposition is too weak! This plot device feels completely unconvincing.
[The above is for reference only. The specific framing actions are up to you to decide. Of course, as the daughter of a Baiying Academy shareholder, as long as you firmly report to the inspectors, even if nothing incriminating is found on Meng Huange, you can still gain the upper hand.]
… That’s not right either!
The fundamental problem hasn’t been solved: Meng Huange can’t really be cheating!
Without any evidence, just using authority to pressure someone—this kind of lowbrow plot has long been outdated!
I think you can reconsider and at least make the framing more reasonable…
[Fine, then according to your thoughts, what would be a reasonable framing?]
First of all, just relying on words isn’t enough!
There needs to be some physical evidence, like placing pre-prepared props in Meng Huange’s drawer.
Or forging Meng Huange’s handwriting and writing this test’s answers, so once reported, she can’t deny it…
[You mean, you need to prepare a handwriting sample similar to the heroine’s?]
Exactly.
Right now it’s obviously not appropriate.
I can’t fake Meng Huange’s handwriting on the spot.
Even if I could imitate it, I wouldn’t know the knowledge points relevant to this test.
That kind of thing…
Su Wanli felt increasingly guilty and quietly swallowed her saliva as she glanced inside her own desk.
Right at the very outer corner of the desk was a notebook Meng Huange had prepared for herself, with notes that matched this test perfectly.
The System’s silence was showing her what exactly?
No, no, no.
No matter how bad the System’s behavior was, this was obviously Meng Huange’s goodwill toward her.
Yet the System wanted her to use that against Meng Huange?
No, that can’t be right. Absolutely not!
[The deadline for this Mission is any one of the sections during today’s test. Host, please freely choose how to complete it. Good luck.]
After saying these seemingly casual words, the System prepared to quietly withdraw as usual.
Hold on, wait a moment.
Su Wanli silently took a deep breath and put her hand into her desk, squeezing the white pellet that was currently buzzing.
Speaking of which, this Mission should have been issued before the test started.
Why wasn’t Baiying informed in advance?
Since the first day she arrived in this world, she had already gained the ability to foresee the next Mission!
You’re clearly manipulating the rules!
[Sorry, Host, the first Main Mission of today is actually to successfully pass the school opening test with a good grade.
The System already informed you of this when you were fully conscious.]
(Regarding this framing Mission, the System originally planned to notify you before the test officially began, but the Host interrupted this process by saying “I’m still holding back” or something similar.
To not affect your full focus on the first Main Mission, the System chose to speak only after you completed the Chinese test.)
Su Wanli bit her lip, tilting her head as she glanced at Meng Huange’s focused face.
There was no other way now.
Come to think of it, for Meng Huange, a mere school entrance test was nothing.
Her taking the test seriously was mostly because of something Su Wanli had said this morning:
“Then it’s you. You’re not going to even pass the whole school test? That would be too embarrassing for me.
Pay more attention during the exam.”
… Damn it.
Meng Huange said those words, but now she wanted to sabotage your test, even frame you for cheating…
Just imagining that scene made Su Wanli feel prickly inside.
Although Meng Huange currently hated Baiying very much, after this incident, her hatred would probably be impossible to hide.
She’d always have a cold, hostile expression when talking to her, and in the future, would return this humiliation tenfold.
But that was what Su Wanli deserved.
Su Wanli quietly closed her eyes and tried hard to process the heaviest feeling she’d ever had since coming here.
Meng Huange, the hatred you’ll endure later is only temporary.
When the time comes for me to regain my status here, I will take my revenge.
At that time, I won’t hold back.
If anyone is to blame, it will be this damn System that never gave me any chance to fight back…
No chance at all…
Just then, a sudden flash of light flickered before Su Wanli’s eyes.
No, it seems it’s not that I have no way out.
I still have a chance to fight back.
While the System was furiously announcing the Mission, Su Wanli only remembered the first ability it gave her.
In fact, she should have had two abilities!
The second ability had been ignored by her because it seemed useless.
It’s called “The Ability to Change the Future.”
—When there is a Mission you don’t want to complete, you can choose to reset it and turn it into another Mission.
