022 A Blank Slate's Daily Life

1431 Words
After a simple lunch, Tan Mo returned to wait outside the exam hall. 2 PM. Mathematics exam. Tan Mo quickly scanned the paper and felt a surge of joy within. The last three big questions were very similar to the ones Yuan Xing had sent her, only differing in the specific values. Because she had worked on similar problems before, she finished those three final, most difficult questions within the first fifteen minutes of the exam. The female teacher proctoring the exam kept a stern face as her gaze swept over Tan Mo's paper, frowning slightly. But it wasn't like she hadn't seen peculiar students who preferred to solve problems starting from the last one before, so she didn't pay it much mind. One hour and twelve minutes into the exam, Tan Mo checked her answer sheet one more time and handed in her paper. "Not going to double-check a bit more?" the female teacher asked her seriously. Every year, there were students who handed in their papers early, but their results were usually not very satisfactory. This girl had answered all the questions, but the teacher hoped she would review a bit more to avoid any careless mistakes. "No need, I've checked it." Tan Mo walked out of the exam hall. While waiting for Lily to drive over and pick her up, she turned on her phone and logged into her social media account, only to see a trending topic. **TanYi, Acting Skills** Tan Mo opened that trending topic with trembling hands. The top post was a clip of Tan Yi's screen test released by his team. To be honest, Tan Yi's acting was indeed not bad among the current batch of idols. But to really judge it by professional standards, it was still too clumsy. Tan Mo scrolled into the comment section, her expression twisting. One Heart One Yi: Seeing Yi 's acting skills fills this mama's heart with relief. Yi , you are my electric light, you are my shining star, you are the only myth in my heart, I will love only you in this lifetime. Yi Bao Mama Loves You: What kind of acting talent does one need to possess to deliver such a performance? In that moment, I felt like I could see three parts love, two parts hatred, and five parts humility in his eyes... Oh my god, absolutely incredible! "My hand is so itchy," Tan Mo's heart lurched at these fan comments, spooked. She hastily clicked exit. Just then, she spotted another trending topic. **TanYi'sNewSister** Tan Yi's new sister—that would be her, wouldn't it? AI♡Yi: Holy crap, the new sister actually went to take the Cheng Ye exam... Guessing her score won't be too high. What if she embarrasses my Yi? Strawberry Soft Candy: Grades have been verified—not as good as Qi's. Qi's entrance score back then was top twenty in all of Jiangqi. My Yi Alone Is Beautiful: What? My oppa has another sister? Wuwuwu, why isn't it me? Not building a power plant in this super topic is just a waste of resources. Tan Mo looked at those grade reports trending. They did seem authentic, not like forgeries. Most likely Xu Piao had someone release them to mess with her head. "That's a bit strange." During these days of tutoring with Tan Rou, she'd noticed something: even with her eyes closed, she could probably score above eighty on a hundred-point exam. Why were her past grades so mediocre? Had she been pretending before? She exited the app and opened her photo gallery. She looked at the surveillance video in her favorites folder, staring at the speeding sports car within, and smirked coldly. Clearly, making Tan Yi suffer just one beating that day wasn't enough. She'd make him pay a much heavier price eventually. "Miss." Lily had arrived at some point. "How did today's exam go?" "Not bad." Tan Mo was also a bit nervous internally. Having written an essay for the first time after her amnesia, she wasn't sure if her logic was correct. "Miss, no matter how the exam turns out, the most important thing is your mindset," Lily encouraged her. Over these days, watching Tan Mo study late into the night, with total relaxation time adding up to less than a single day, Lily recalled her own high school days and felt a sympathetic ache for her. If she hadn't lost her memory, Miss would probably be studying with much less difficulty. And yet the Second Mistress chose this very time to stir up those fanatical fans, trying to disrupt Miss's state of mind. "Phew—" She breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Miss like this, she probably hadn't seen that trending topic yet; otherwise, she'd be feeling pretty awful right now. Tan Mo sat in the back seat, watching the scenery outside the window. Returning to the Tan family villa, unexpectedly, it was very quiet tonight. Tan Mo sat at her desk, typing away on her computer. As the word count grew in the Notepad document on her screen, she became certain that this inexplicable trending topic had been planted by Xu Piao. She propped her cheek on her hand, lightly tapping her temple with her index finger, casually created an account, and posted a message in Tan Yi's super topic. Eating Fish, Eating Melon, Or Eating You: For certain reasons, Tan Yi cannot be the male lead for *Eternal Phoenix*. One hundred percent chance he'll be replaced. Just wait, the tea will spill. This message immediately jolted Tan Yi's fans. Strawberry Cake: What the heck? Some random person comes here to spout nonsense! Honey Citrus Tea: Already reported. Don't let this kind of person ruin our mood. This message was viciously attacked and abused, with people even starting to report it. But regardless, this message stubbornly remained posted in Tan Yi's super topic, standing firm. Tan Mo shut down the computer and began reviewing the content for tomorrow's exam. At that very moment, back at the studio. Huai Sheng was sitting across the table from a man, a silly grin plastered on her face. The man had a soft measuring tape wrapped around . The shirt was artistically designed, and his shoulder-length hair was loosely tied back. A Du looked at the lavish hotpot feast spread out before him on the table, then raised an eyebrow at Huai Sheng, who was sitting across from him with a face full of sycophantic smiles. "Bro Du, eat up... Why do you keep staring at me?" Huai Sheng maintained her professional, welcoming smile. A Du stared at the fiery red broth in front of him. "I suspect you've poisoned the hotpot." "How could that be?" Huai Sheng mumbled quietly. "My mom never taught me how." "Nothing comes from nothing. Spill it. What's going on?" A Du swept the entire plate of fatty beef slices into the boiling pot. "The boss wants to treat a girl to hotpot, but he can't eat spicy food himself, so he had to ask me to ask you for help..." Huai Sheng clasped her hands as if in prayer, batting her sparkling eyes pleadingly. A Du rejected her attempt at being cute, swept an entire plate of tripe and vermicelli into the pot, and said, "And a bowl of rice, please." "Yes, sir! Right away!" Huai Sheng gave a little salute, dashed into the kitchen, and came back out carrying sesame sauce and a bowl of rice. By the time she returned, A Du had already turned on the projector and found today's episode of the talent show they were following. The moment Yuan Xing pushed open the door, the smell of hotpot hit him, followed immediately by the sounds of the two of them screaming like maniacs for the contestants. "Ya Xuan baby is the cutest in the whole world!" "Go Ya Xuan! Fighting!" Taking in the hotpot aroma wafting through the shop, plus the racket those two were making, his blood pressure immediately shot up. He had to open the shop tomorrow—it wouldn't be good if customers walked in and were hit with the smell of hotpot. "Du Wentao!Huai Sheng!" Yuan Xing's fist clenched. "Boss?" A Du panicked and frantically shoveled rice into his mouth. "Xing?" Huai Sheng broke out in a cold sweat. Oh no. Why did this feel like being a kid caught red-handed by their parents while secretly watching TV at home? Yuan Xing merely showed the kindest of smiles while gritting his teeth, "Hurry up and finish eating, then go clean up."
