The Female Lead Has No Cheats
chapter-38

When that piece of news came out, all the netizens waiting to watch the rerun were all confused. They had no idea what was going on and all ran over to watch the broadcast.

And so, the traffic for the live stream skyrocketed.

The netizens who played back the footage of Lin Yueqi doing all the questions quickly were also stunned by her fierce and swift operation.

A month finishing “5-3” and more than a dozen mock tests? What kind of amazing motivation and diligence was that? Lin Yueqi, are you a devil?

“My God! I seriously gotta give it to Lin Yueqi! Big Boss Li is right. Lin Yueqi’s dedication alone makes her a good pick for the show. She brings a positive energy to all the youth.”

“She must be bragging, right? I really don’t believe a normal person can finish ‘5-3’ and a bunch of mock exams. Did she even eat drink or sleep?”

“Whether it’s true or false, it’s fact that she dropped Qin Xue 38 stages behind her. Didn’t Qin Xue graduate from A University? How did you lag so many stages behind Lin Yueqi? Ugh…I’m starting to question those scandals on the internet now. I’m also starting to wonder if what Lin Yueqi said at the foothill was true…Speaking of which, Lin Yueqi never came forward to give her response from the very beginning. Maybe she really does have her difficulties? What a hardworking and dedicated girl…”

“As if. It just proves that there’s something wrong with her if she never came forward to speak about it! Stop trying to clean her reputation, Lin fans, you’re just making her look worse.”

“…”

The sun was slowly going down, forming a wonderful view at the top of the mountain. The burning clouds in the sky and the maple forest reflected as a field of red int heir eyes.

Only

Climbing up the hill and doing the questions took up so much physical and mental energy that they wouldn’t be able to go down tonight and could only rest in a tent.

The crew started a campfire and prepared them some convenience food.

Lin Yueqi and Wen Zhe both gathered around the fire, enjoying their instant noodles. It can be seen that both of them were starved.

After taking a few big bites of noodles, she looked up and asked the other with food still in her mouth, “You…Don’t you find instant noodles difficult to eat?”

“What about you? Aren’t you enjoying yourself too?” Wen Zhe stirred the noodles in his bowl while he asked.

Lin Yueqi raised her brows and laughed. “You have no idea what sort of delicacy instant noodles are for a child from a poor family. I didn’t really like studying as a kid, but my aunt told me that if I got first place, then she would buy me the instant noodle bowls they advertise on the TV. That’s why I studied hard and got first place. When I brought my report back that night, my aunt heated up a bowl of instant noodles for me complete with ham and a fried egg. Our village hasn’t been developed as a tourist attraction at that time and was very poor, so I was the first child in the village to eat instant noodles.”

She held the bowl of instant noodles and allowed the steam to blow on her face, her lips curving into a smile. ‘I only found out many years later that my aunt used the money for her bus ride to the city to sell rice to buy me that bowl of instant noodles. She didn’t have any money to ride the bus, so she hiked to town with a basket of rice and eggs on her back. The mountain roads are so difficult to hike through, I can almost imagine how hard she must have worked, and also realized the weight of that bowl of instant noodles. I began studying properly after that. I didn’t do too bad in middle school, and I got second place in the county during my middle school exams. I thought I was a tough student, but I realized what they meant when they said that there’s always a higher mountain when I arrived at my high school in Mianzhou City. All my classmates were rich and they were tutored since they were young, so they all had a boost at the starting line. I remember when I was in my freshman year of high school, I was the only one who couldn’t afford the tuition fees so I secretly stood by the windows and listened. But my classmates found out and I got teased for a long time…”

Looking at her, Wen Zhe did not realize that her family was in such a rough situation.
