"Teacher! My stomach hurts." Xiao Xia suddenly covered her lower abdomen and lay weakly on the table.

After all, Zhang Dekang was a young man who had just graduated from college. He didn’t understand why the girl had a stomachache, so he asked Liu Yang to go over and take a look.

Liu Yang squatted beside Xiao Xia and asked in a gentle voice, "Did you eat something bad, or did you have your period?"

Girls of this generation are still quite sensitive and shy about menstruation. Xiao Xia's face suddenly turned red, and she stammered, "But... maybe I ate something bad. Can I take a leave first and take the make-up exam tomorrow?"

It turned out that she wanted to take a make-up exam.

Before Zhang Dekang could speak, Liu Yang said, "Then find time to take the make-up exam in the Education Department tomorrow. If I'm not here, ask Sister Zhou to get the test paper for you."

"Okay, sister." Xiao Xia called out "sister" intentionally so that everyone could hear it.

"Can I go back by myself?"

"can."

Not all the students in the class were employees of the Southeast Food Factory. Xiao Xia's calling her "sister" attracted many people's attention, especially Zhang Dekang, who emphasized: "Liu Yang, you can't be partial to her just because she is your sister."

"Of course not." Liu Yang returned to his seat and while doing the test paper, he wrote as if he was possessed by God.

After finishing, he even helped Xiao Xia get a copy of the test paper in front of the whole class, "Teacher Zhang, rest assured, I will not show favoritism."

After school, Liu Yang saw Xu Zhiyuan's car parked at the door and ran over happily.

"Is the problem solved?" It was already dark when Xu Zhiyuan returned to Huajiang. After reporting the completion of the mission to his leader, he immediately rushed to the night school. His car had only been turned off for more than ten minutes.

All the fatigue from days of running around disappeared instantly after seeing Liu Yang's smile.

Liu Yang smiled and said, "It's not solved yet, but there will be something interesting to watch tomorrow morning. Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to come to the factory to find me?"

"I have time tomorrow." Xu Zhiyuan could not hide his joy. This was the first time that Liu Yang took the initiative to ask him out. Although it was not an invitation for him to go out and play, he was also happy.

On the way back, Liu Yang told Xu Zhiyuan about the good things Xiao Xia had done in the past few days, and also mentioned that Qin Yue was forced to get married.

After listening to this, Xu Zhiyuan said very seriously: "After Liu Xia's matter is resolved, you and Qin Yue must reduce contact. She approached you not because she really wanted to make friends with you, but because she had other purposes. You should have seen it a long time ago."

"I was alone and helpless at that time, and I thought it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Now it's different. I can walk around the factory with my head held high, and I'm not afraid of anyone." Liu Yang looked at the paper in his hand and thought about his superb painting skills. He thought if he made some minor adjustments, Xiao Xia would definitely not be able to tell.

The next morning at 8:30, Xu Zhiyuan arrived at the Education Department office. Liu Yang showed him the test paper and asked him if he could find the problem. There was only one chance and he had to make sure there was no mistake.

In order to witness this moment, she skipped one of Kong Shan's English classes.

"If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't be able to tell at all." Xu Zhiyuan praised her highly.

Xiao Xia came at nine o'clock, handed in the paper at ten o'clock, and the factory leader was invited at ten ten.

"Liu Xia, how could you do such a thing!" Director Zhu looked at Xiao Xia's make-up exam paper and couldn't calm down for a long time. He got almost all the answers right, but almost all the multiple-choice questions wrong.

Xiao Xia was also confused, "How is that possible? I answered it carefully, there is no way it would be wrong."

Liu Yang corrected her wording, "You should have been memorizing the answers carefully. What you wrote are the correct answers to yesterday's test paper."

"Sister, isn't this the test paper from last night? I really did it myself. If you don't believe me, you can look at my draft!" Xiao Xia argued for herself in front of everyone.

But what she didn't know was that her draft would become the most important evidence that would kill her.

Liu Yang saw it when she was writing the draft. She did write down the ideas for solving the problems, but the last step of each question inexplicably became the correct answer on the test paper last night, which had nothing to do with the entire problem-solving process.

"Director Zhu, look at these." Liu Yang handed the draft paper to Director Zhu, and then said with regret, "During class last night, Math teacher Zhang heard Xiao Xia calling me sister and was worried that I was partial to her, so I adjusted the numbers in all the multiple-choice and true-or-false questions, but Xiao Xia answered according to the questions that had not been adjusted."

After hearing this, Xiao Xia immediately wanted to grab the test paper, but it was in Director Zhu's hands, so she didn't dare to do anything.

Director Zhu turned the paper over and saw a little ink on the back, confirming that Liu Yang was right. "Liu Yang, your corrections are too... exactly like the printed version. No wonder Liu Xia couldn't tell. Even I thought it was untouched."

"In fact, you can tell if you look carefully." Now is not the time to study whether the changes are true or not. Liu Yang turned his head and looked at Xiao Xia, "Xiao Xia, why did you cheat?"

Xiao Xia was completely frozen, still trying to retort, "I...I didn't..."

Liu Yang didn't want to give her a chance, so he took out a new test paper and said, "In the beginning, I did a lot of tests to prove my innocence. Now you can also use this method to prove yourself."

Xiao Xia stretched out her hand tremblingly, and her hand stayed in the air for several seconds, not daring to reach out to take the paper.

Li Shunda, who had just entered the Education Department's office, took the test paper first. "There's no need for that. The two of you are in different situations. You must have planned to get a complete set of test papers with complete answers. You said you had a stomachache last night and needed to take a make-up exam. You must have been faking it."

Li Shunda glanced at Xiao Xia sternly, "Liu Xia, what are you trying to hide by cheating? Are you trying to hide the fact that you cheated on the entrance exam? Or that your high school diploma is fake?"

Liu Yang was also confused. Why did Li Shunda suddenly stand up and say these?

However, when he saw Xu Zhiyuan nodding slightly at him, Liu Yang understood that it was he who asked Li Shunda to step forward. He wanted Li Shunda to be the one to step forward. In this way, even if Dean Liu and Teacher Xu blamed him, it would not be his fault.

"I...I didn't..." Xiao Xia said the same thing, and then she started crying.

Her tears might work on Dean Liu and Teacher Xu, but no one in this office would buy it.

Director Zhu immediately asked Sister Zhou to call Teacher Xu and ask her to come to the Education Department immediately.

As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Xia grabbed the receiver and shouted, "Don't call my mom!"

"You don't have to call Teacher Xu. Then you can explain the matter clearly yourself." Li Shunda asked Sister Zhou to put down the phone first, and then gave Xiao Xia a chance to confess.

After several minutes, Xiao Xia still said, "I didn't cheat..."

Director Zhu obviously lost his patience and turned to ask Li Shunda, "Shunda, do you have any evidence for what you said just now?"
