Chapter 207 Cheating, absolutely cheating!
In the second episode, Jiang Tianyao remained the most watched contestant.
Besides Jiang Tianyao, Gu Chenyi also gained considerable popularity online for being revealed as the heir to the Gu Group, attracting countless fans with his identity as a young master from a wealthy family.
Therefore, at the beginning, the two made a dazzling entrance, especially when Gu Chenyi held Jiang Tianyao's hand and slowly walked up the steps.
CP fans flooded the chat with "perfect match," they were absolutely thrilled!
In addition, a couple unexpectedly became a sensation.
The boy band members, Chi Yan and Pei Shuoxun, who could not be found online, entered the venue one after the other and fatefully stood in positions 1 and 2, attracting many female fans of BL (Boys' Love).
The tension between the two was palpable throughout the entire performance.
But why can't a nemesis be one's wife?
[Does anyone know? Did they have a fight before they entered? Why is there so much hostility?]
[These two definitely know each other in real life; handsome guys should be together!]
[Please install an anti-addiction system. Those peach blossom eyes look so affectionate when they look at someone (blushing), she must be in love!]
[It's even more satisfying to see this handsome guy with a cold face; he's definitely the kind of arrogant guy who says he doesn't love someone but is secretly head over heels in love.]
[......]
With the popular couple Chi Yan and Pei Shuo Xun already established, the entry of Shi Sui and Xu Chao Mu didn't make much of a splash.
[This girl is so pretty! Did she appear in the last episode?]
[She's so beautiful! There's no reason she didn't get screen time last time with looks like that!]
[She and the handsome guy next to her look so good together, so is this a dating reality show?]
[......]
Soon it was time for the Q&A and discussion segment. The first random discussion shot focused on Shi Sui, in a long shot, so it was impossible to see her speaking. We could only rely on our ears, but we couldn't hear a single word.
When the camera zoomed in, we saw that she had taken off her headset and hadn't said a word.
A row of question marks floated across the screen.
[She couldn't answer; did she guess?]
[She was lucky; she guessed correctly.]
Soon the host asked Jiang Tianyao to answer. The girl's eyes glistened with tears, her voice was sweet, and her answer was very clear, which drew applause.
[This question was really difficult, Sweetie was so amazing!]
[Jiang Tianyao is not only multi-talented in singing and dancing, but also a top student! What other surprises do I not know about her?]
Then, whether intentionally or not, after a difficult problem arose, the spotlight fell on Shi Sui again.
She pointed to the headset and shook her head.
[She didn't know the answer to this question again? Did she just guess?]
[You're so lucky.]
Amidst the sighs of dismay, a truth flashed through my mind: [Did she mean the headset was broken?]
[She's making excuses; she really couldn't answer.]
The camera focused on Jiang Tianyao again, and the girl's answer was once again flawless, drawing praise from the comments section.
In the following episodes, the production team seemed to think that Shi Sui couldn't answer, so the spotlight on her stopped shining on her.
However, she appears in an unusually large number of images.
When the screen lit up with a new question, the image of Shi Sui pressing the answer button flashed by.
As Jiang Tianyao answered the questions, Shi Sui's image flashed by.
When the answers were announced after the quiz ended, Shi Sui's name was prominently displayed at the top, and a scene of the girl clapping flashed by.
Anyone with a normal sense could see that something was wrong.
[Wow, this Shi Sui, is she some kind of favorite from the production team? She gets more screen time than everyone else combined!]
[I admit she's pretty, but even if she's incredibly pretty, it's impossible for all the cameramen on the show to be focused on filming her alone!]
[I didn't see her last episode. Did she get in through connections?]
[She stood there like a robot, providing no entertainment value whatsoever. Why did they give her so much screen time?]
Those who particularly like Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi, as well as those who are now shipping Chi Yan and Pei Shuoxun, are even more upset.
[She couldn't even answer the questions, how could she get full marks? I refuse to believe she guessed them all correctly!]
[Jiang Tianyao didn't even get a perfect score, so why should she?]
[Sweetie was so stressed she cried; it broke my heart to see.]
[My new favorite boy band couple barely gets any screen time, it's all this girl. Damn, who the hell is she?]
[Although every time I see this woman, the handsome former boy band member next to her is also quite pleasing to the eye, I still prefer male-male pairings.]
[Could this woman be using this show to enter the entertainment industry, some newly promoted young actress?]
[Have you noticed that every time the questions are announced, this woman presses the answer button immediately, and her answering speed is unusually fast?]
[Holy crap, did she steal the exam questions?]
[Cheating, absolutely cheating!]
[The production team gave her so much screen time, clearly favoring her, and she even got a perfect score—it's definitely scripted! If it's not scripted, I'll do a handstand while washing my hair!]
The more netizens analyzed it, the more reasonable it seemed, turning it into solid evidence!

Jiang Tianyao was already waiting for the show to air.
She was a little nervous because this exam not only had many questions, but also required her to memorize the explanations. She accidentally forgot the answers to two questions and did not get full marks.
She saw that Shi Sui got a perfect score and was afraid that she would be outdone.
Upon turning on the show, Jiang Tianyao was surprised to find: "How could this be!? Why does Shi Sui have so many shots? Why?"
Her voice trembled.
The more shots, the greater the traffic.
She knew perfectly well that she was able to get this score because she had the information.
Shi Sui is a true academic star and also very popular; she's already more popular than Shi Sui at school...
Jiang Tianyao's eyes glistened with tears: "She already has so much, why does she still need to participate in this show? Why hasn't she been eliminated yet..."
"It's alright, Tiantian." Gu Chenyi hugged the fragile girl and smiled crookedly, "I've already hired online trolls. In less than half an hour, the entire internet will be filled with solid evidence that she stole the exam questions."

Shi Sui didn't watch the show, nor did she have time to browse Weibo.
Because she is studying.
I spend both days of the weekend either filming a show or being taken to G City for fun.
Although I was happy to get a perfect score on the show and had a lot of fun, I was really sad that I didn't finish the learning task.
After finishing a set of practice questions, Shi Sui tapped the system: [Quick! Are there any other tasks?]
The system is easy to manage because it has a host with a strong learning drive, but—
[Host, I'm really not a 'I'll die if I don't study' system. You've far exceeded expectations.]
[But the Gu Group hasn't gone bankrupt yet.]
Shi Sui rubbed her face: [You're not a 'you'll die if you don't study' system, but I'm someone who'll die if the Gu Group doesn't go bankrupt.]
The system fell into a brief silence.
It didn't know how to comfort its host.
Because her legal eighteenth birthday is getting closer and closer.
That means we're getting closer and closer to a plot-driven death.
