Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

I quickly scanned the test paper, and wow, perfect!

It feels like having a royal flush in your hand, just waiting to be revealed and blown away.

Lu Zhan is definitely still plotting something and trying to mess with me.

There are no doors!

I'm not one to be trifled with now that I've been reborn.

Does he think I'm still that pushover he can manipulate at will?

Hehe, he's destined to be utterly crushed by me in this lifetime.

As I casually twirled my pen, I secretly glanced at Lu Zhan out of the corner of my eye.

Sure enough, the kid was acting suspiciously, wriggling around in his seat like an eel.

He pulled a small piece of paper out of his pocket. I squinted, trying to see what was written on it, but it was too far away.

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, and my heart skipped a beat. Oh no!

This kid's about to unleash his ultimate move!

He pretended to fall, his hand "accidentally" touching my desk, and the little note "just happened" to fall next to my test paper.

Wow, it's a real shame that someone with such acting skills isn't acting!

If I hadn't been tricked by him in my past life, I would have almost been fooled by his clumsy performance.

Just as I was about to expose him, I saw the proctor walk over.

"What happened?" The teacher's voice was serious and low.

Lu Zhan feigned innocence, "Teacher, I accidentally fell down just now..."

"You fell down? What's with this note?" The teacher pointed to the small note that had fallen next to my test paper, her tone becoming even sterner.

Lu Zhan's expression changed, and he stammered, unable to speak.

The surrounding examinees began to whisper among themselves, their gazes towards Lu Zhan filled with disdain.

"Lu Zhan, what else do you have to say?" The teacher's voice was icy, as if it could freeze the air.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Zhan's forehead. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Seeing his flustered state, I felt a surge of secret pleasure.

"Teacher, I think..." I suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes were on me...

I cleared my throat and paused deliberately, whetting everyone's appetite.

"I think this note... might have been blown here by the wind?" I blinked innocently, my tone as sincere as could be.

A low chuckle rippled through the crowd.

Lu Zhan's face changed from white to green, then from green to purple, looking just like a palette of colors.

He glared at me fiercely, his eyes practically spitting fire.

I gave him a sweet smile, which made him so angry he almost fainted.

"Did the wind blow it in?" the teacher repeated my words, her tone full of doubt.

I shrugged. "Teacher, look, the window is open. The wind can be quite mischievous sometimes." I pointed to the open window and made up a lie with a serious expression.

The proctor walked to the window, looked at the wind outside, then at the note on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

Lu Zhan thought his teacher believed his nonsense, and a smug look appeared on his face.

I sneered inwardly. You little punk, you're still too green to mess with me!

"Regardless of whose note it is," the teacher turned around, her gaze sweeping across the room, "cheating on an exam is a serious violation of discipline. Once verified, the student will be disqualified from the exam!"

Lu Zhan's face turned deathly pale instantly. Like a defeated rooster, he slumped back into his seat, dejected.

I suppressed a laugh and continued the inspection.

Time ticked by, and finally the bell rang to signal the end of the exam.

I put down my pen, stretched, and felt completely refreshed.

I picked up the test paper, walked to the front of the classroom, and confidently handed it to the teacher.

"Teacher, I'm handing in my paper."

I turned and left the examination room, and behind me I heard Lu Zhan's voice, filled with gritted teeth: "Miao Qing, you just wait!"

I curled my lips into a smile and walked away without looking back. Fine, I'll wait then. Who's afraid of who?

As I walked out of the exam room, I saw several classmates gathered together, pointing and whispering about Lu Zhan.

"I never expected Lu Zhan to be this kind of person!"

"I've always regarded him as a role model, what a terrible mistake!"

"Serves him right! This kind of person should be disqualified from the exam!"

As I listened to their discussion, I felt a surge of secret satisfaction.

Lu Zhan, this is just the beginning; the real show is yet to come!

Suddenly, a hand landed on my shoulder.

“Miao Qing,” a deep voice sounded in my ear, “Shall we talk?”

I raised an eyebrow; I knew who it was without even turning around.

Gong Lin.

The chilling aura emanating from him could be smelled from a great distance.

"What are you going to talk about?" I asked casually, though my heart was pounding.

He didn't say anything, but gestured with his eyes for me to follow him.

Alright, Your Majesty has given the order, how could I dare disobey?

I followed him to the grove behind the teaching building. It was a secluded spot, perfect for...

Talking about love?

Ahem, what are you thinking about!

Gong Lin stood with his hands in his pockets, leaning against a tree, staring at me with a deep gaze that made me feel uneasy.

"You..." He had just started to speak when he was interrupted by a commotion.

"The results are out! The results are out!" someone shouted at the top of their lungs.

Who is number one?

"Go and see!"

Gong Lin frowned, clearly displeased at being disturbed.

My heart skipped a beat; the grades…

Out?

This is faster than I expected!

I quickly said "Excuse me" to Gong Lin, and then ran towards the notice board as fast as a rabbit.

Squeezing through the crowd, I immediately spotted the red list posted at the top.

First place: Miao Qing.

Following that was a glaring score, far surpassing the second-place Lu Zhan.

"Wow! Miao Qing is amazing!"

"A top student is a top student!"

"Miao Qingwen is confident that she will represent the school in this competition!"

The exclamations of praise around me were deafening, and I felt like I was dreaming.

I took a deep breath, suppressed my excitement, and turned around...

It was good to meet Lu Zhan's eyes, which were filled with resentment and venom.

That look in his eyes was as if he wanted to devour me alive.

I gave him a bright smile, which made him so angry that his face turned green.

At that moment, Coach Chen walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Miao Qing, congratulations! I misunderstood you before."

"Not at all, Coach, you flatter me." I smiled modestly, but secretly I was pleased: Hmph, now you know how powerful I am!

I stood on the podium, enjoying the joy of victory and the applause from my classmates.

The school's award certificate gleamed in my hands, which was not only an affirmation of me, but also a slap in the face to Lu Zhan.

I looked at Lu Zhan below the stage; his face was ashen, and his clenched fists trembled slightly.

I smiled slightly, my gaze sweeping over the cheering students below the stage, a surge of pride welling up inside me.

I know that my journey to rebirth has only just begun!

“Miao Qing,” a familiar voice rang in my ears again, “can we have a proper talk this time?” I turned my head and met Gong Lin’s deep gaze, a meaningful smile playing on his lips…

I raised an eyebrow, looked at Gong Lin, and secretly thought: Is this soldier here to congratulate me?

Hehe, I'm quite the celebrity at school now!

"Speak, what is it?" I tried my best to appear nonchalant, as if first place was nothing to worry about.

He gave me a deep look, and then parted his thin lips slightly: "Congratulations."

At once……

This?

I'm a little confused; I was hoping for more.

Just as I was about to make a joke at him, Coach Chen came over and called me aside with a serious expression.

“Miao Qing,” Coach Chen lowered his voice, “although you got first place this time,…someone above has questioned your past conduct.”

My heart skipped a beat: a matter of conduct?

What the hell?

Aside from taking revenge on that scumbag, I haven't done anything particularly heinous lately!

"Who?" I suppressed my anger and asked as calmly as possible.

Coach Chen hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Lu Zhan."

ha?

This scumbag is actually doing dirty tricks behind my back!

I was so angry I almost exploded on the spot, but I maintained my composure on the surface: "Coach, the innocent are innocent, and a clear conscience fears no accusation. I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to fear from his slander!"

Coach Chen patted me on the shoulder: "I believe in you. However... the higher-ups require you to undergo additional evaluation."

An assessment? What kind of assessment? I felt a little uneasy.

For the next few days, I spun around like a top, participating in all sorts of assessments.

Written test, interview...

It's even more tiring than the college entrance exam!

I feel like I'm being completely drained!

The day the assessment results came out, I was so nervous that my palms were sweating.

Coach Chen held the competition selection notice and looked at me with a complicated expression: "Miao Qing...you..."

My heart was in my throat: No way? Am I really going to be tricked by that scumbag Lu Zhan?

"You...you've been selected!" Coach Chen suddenly smiled. "Moreover, you broke the school's historical record with a perfect score!"

I...I...I actually got selected! And I got a perfect score! I feel like I'm dreaming!

Holding the acceptance letter, I was so excited I could barely speak: "I...I...I'm amazing!"

I turned around, wanting to share this good news with everyone, but found Gong Lin standing not far away, a meaningful smile on his lips.

"It seems you have many secrets." He slowly approached, his eyes as deep as a still pool. "For example... how did you know those questions?"

My smile froze on my face.
