The knocking grew increasingly urgent, as if it were something extremely urgent.

I opened the door and saw my brother, Miao Yang, panting heavily.

"Sis! Something terrible has happened! The school...the school..." He gasped for breath, his face turning red.

I quickly poured him a glass of water: "Take it slow, what happened at school? Did the sky fall down?" Miao Yang gulped down a big mouthful of water before he recovered: "School... someone said you... cheated!" I was stunned.

Cheating?

Where to begin?

I've been making great strides in my studies lately, but that's entirely because I've been reborn and have more than a decade's worth of knowledge in my head than others!

"Who said that?

"I asked, barely suppressing my anger."

Miao Yang stammered, "It's...it's Lin Xiao and the others...they've been telling everyone that you cheated in the last competition and the previous exams..." I took a deep breath. It really was her!

It seems she didn't take the warning last time to heart at all.

Okay, since she wants to play, I'll play with her!

These past few days I've been spending all my time in the library, poring over a thick collection of challenging math problems. Several groups of classmates have come and gone, but I've remained steadfastly in my seat.

Everyone thought I was crazy. This collection of difficult problems is notoriously difficult; many teachers can't solve the problems in it.

For me, these questions, though a bit difficult, were all within my comprehension.

Just as I was enjoying solving the problem, an exceptionally complex geometry problem caught my attention.

This question involves multiple knowledge points and requires complex reasoning and calculation.

The students around him had all tried, but all of them failed and gave up.

I picked up my pen and started doing calculations quickly on the draft paper.

Spatial geometry, vectors, trigonometric functions... all sorts of knowledge points merged in my mind, and finally, I found the key to solving the problem!

"Done!" I exclaimed excitedly, writing down the complete solution steps in my workbook.

My voice drew the attention of my classmates, who gathered around and stared at my answers with disbelief.

"My God, she actually solved it!" "That's amazing!" I looked up and saw Lin Xiao standing outside the crowd, her face ashen and her eyes filled with resentment.

I smiled slightly. It seems someone is about to explode with anger.

I rushed straight to Lin Xiao's location and pulled her out.

"Lin Xiao, you'd better explain yourself clearly. What makes you think I cheated?" My tone was icy, my eyes sharp, and the air around me seemed to freeze.

Lin Xiao was startled by my imposing manner, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a disdainful look, "What, you dare to do it but not admit it? Everyone says you've made rapid progress recently, your grades have improved by leaps and bounds, what else could it be but cheating?" "Where's the evidence?" I pressed.

Lin Xiao sneered, "Do I need evidence? Everyone knows what you were like before. Suddenly you're a top student? What else could it be but cheating?" I was amused by her shameless logic: "So, according to you, studying hard is a sin?" "Hmph, stop pretending!" Lin Xiao rolled her eyes. "You think you can fool others, but you can fool me? Let me tell you, I will expose your true colors!" With that, she turned to leave.

I grabbed her arm, shoved her against the wall, and stared at her coldly. "Lin Xiao, this is my last warning. Don't mess with me again. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences." I released her and turned to leave.

As I reached the door, I stopped and said without turning around, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, there's a learning experience sharing session at school this weekend. I'll be going on stage to share my learning methods. You're welcome to come and 'learn' from me."

Standing on the podium, looking at the sea of ​​heads below, I felt a little nervous.

This is the first time I've been on such a big stage since I was reborn, to share my "study secrets".

I took a deep breath and began my performance.

"Hello everyone, I'm Miao Qing. It's an honor to be here today to share my learning experience with you..." I paused deliberately, glanced at the students below the stage who were taking notes diligently, and even Teacher Zhang, who had always been skeptical of me, nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Of course, I wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal the secret of my rebirth. Instead, I will explain some of the learning techniques and methods from my previous life in a simple and easy-to-understand way, combining them with the learning characteristics of this era.

For example, the Feynman Learning Technique, mind mapping, and the Pomodoro Technique—these relatively new concepts in this era—have successfully piqued the interest of students.

After the sharing session, I gained a group of fans, and some even asked me to sign their notebooks.

I felt secretly pleased; it felt so good to be admired!

It seems my "academic genius" persona has been firmly established.

However, the good times did not last long.

The head of the teaching department, having somehow heard about my situation, called me into his office.

"Miao Qing, your learning experience sharing session was excellent, and the school leaders take it very seriously." He pushed up his glasses, his tone serious. "However, academic performance is the only true measure of success. If you cannot maintain your current level in this monthly exam, or... if there are any... abnormalities, the school will re-evaluate your behavior and impose appropriate... penalties."

My heart skipped a beat.

Punishment?

This old fox is warning me that if I don't do well on the monthly exam, I'll be treated as if I cheated!

This pressure is immense!

As I walked out of the office, I clenched my fists.

It seems this game has only just begun.

I need to give it my all just to gain a foothold in this era, just to...

"Miao Qing, the chemistry lab class is about to begin. Are you ready?" a voice rang in my ear.

I turned my head and saw...it was him.

Gong Lin.

He was wearing a simple white shirt with the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing his well-defined forearms.

The sunlight shone on him, casting a golden halo around him, making him look dazzlingly radiant.

I suddenly remembered how he looked in his military uniform in my past life, so dashing and heroic, making me want to... cough cough, what am I thinking!

Now is not the time to be infatuated!

"Ah, I'm ready." I quickly pulled myself together and tried to appear calm.

As I followed him into the lab, my heart began to race uncontrollably.

This is the guy I had a crush on for a long time in my past life!

I'm actually quite excited to have the chance to do experiments with him!

The content of the chemistry experiment class is to prepare a special solution.

This experiment is quite challenging, requiring very precise operations and calculations.

In my past life, I was a chemistry competition champion, so this little thing is no challenge for me.

I skillfully weighed the medicines and prepared the solutions, performing a series of operations with ease, leaving the students next to me in awe.

Even the usually strict lab teacher couldn't help but nod in praise: "Miao Qing, your experimental procedure was very standardized and is worth learning from!"

Hmph, back in the day I was... never mind, let's keep a low profile.

I suppressed a smile and gave a feigned modesty.

After the experiment, I packed up the equipment and prepared to leave.

As soon as I stepped out of the lab, I saw Li Dali and a few of his followers blocking the entrance.

The road between enemies is narrow!

Is this guy trying to cause me trouble again?

"Hey, isn't this our top student, Miao Qing?" Li Dali said in a strange tone, "I heard you've been making headlines lately, with your study experience sharing session and perfect scores in lab experiments. What, trying to become the school's celebrity?"

I rolled my eyes and ignored him.

This guy is a typical bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong; arguing with him is a waste of time.

I walked past him to leave, but unexpectedly he reached out and stopped me.

"Don't go! I haven't finished speaking!" Li Dali said arrogantly. "You think you can fool everyone with your pretense? Let me tell you, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

His tall and imposing figure blocked Li Dali's view and also blocked the glaring sunlight.

"What is it?" The deep voice carried a hint of coldness, sending chills down one's spine.

I looked up and saw Gong Lin! When did he appear?

When Li Dali saw Gong Lin, his expression changed instantly.

He stammered for a long time, finally managing to squeeze out, "N-nothing..." before slinking away with his little follower.

Gong Lin turned to look at me, a hint of barely perceptible concern in his eyes: "Are you alright?"

I shook my head: "It's nothing, thank you."

"It was nothing." He smiled faintly and turned to leave.

"Wait!" I called out to him, "You... how did you get back?" I remembered he should still be on a mission!

He paused for a moment, a mysterious smile curving his lips: "It's a secret." Hmph, Li Dali, that coward, ran away faster than a rabbit when he saw Gong Lin, just like a mouse seeing a cat!

However, when did Miya Rin appear?

Wasn't he on a mission?

How mysterious!

"It's a secret." Pshaw, if you don't want to tell me, then don't. It's like a spy movie.

But the way he helped me out of that situation just now was so cool!

Ahem, Miao Qing, you can't be infatuated with girls anymore! Your priority now is to study!

The monthly exam is coming soon, and I need to study hard and try to get good grades so that those who look down on me will shut up!

Especially Lin Xiao, who always pretends to be an innocent and pure person, but in reality, she is more jealous than anyone else.

Last time I overheard her telling someone, "I'm sure I won't do well on the test this time, they're just waiting to see me make a fool of myself!"

Hmph, just you wait and see, I'll surprise you!

With this cheat code of space, my learning efficiency is faster than if I had a cheat code.

Time flows more slowly inside than outside; I can stay inside for several hours while only a short time passes outside.

Moreover, the air in the space was fresh and full of spiritual energy, which made me feel clear-headed and improved my memory a lot.

Every night, I would hide in my room to review my lessons and reinforce my knowledge.

During the day, I listened attentively in class, actively answered questions, and asked questions whenever I didn't understand something, leaving the teachers quite bewildered.

At first, Teacher Zhang suspected that I was cheating, but after seeing that I always ranked at the top of my class in every exam, she stopped saying anything.

"I must get into the top three in this monthly exam!" I made up my mind to myself.

A few days later, the monthly exam results came out.

Holding the report card, I took a deep breath and slowly unfolded it—

"Wow! Miao Qing, you're amazing! You actually got first place in the grade this time!" A surprised voice rang in my ears.

I looked up and saw it was Gong Lin.

He appeared behind me without me noticing, a slight smile on his face, his eyes filled with...admiration?

"It's alright, I was just lucky." I smiled modestly, but I was secretly overjoyed.

“Luck? I doubt it.” He gave me a meaningful look. “It seems you still have many secrets you’re keeping from me.”

My heart skipped a beat. Had he discovered something?

Just as I was about to explain, the library door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Xiao rushed in looking flustered, holding... my notes in her hand?
