Chapter 453: Overconfidence

For a second, Xia Xibei was stunned by the sight of Wan Shicheng standing right in front of her, then the look in her eyes turned dark.

“No need for that, we’ll go back on our own.”

She turned down the offer without hesitation.

“Brother Shicheng.”

Xia Qinghan walked over from the back and shot Xia Xibei a fierce glare.

What a vixen, flirting with men everywhere she went! Even Wan Shicheng got seduced by her!

Ren Ningning, who was standing beside Xia Xibei, shot a ruthless glance at Xia Qinghan too. With a scornful look, she asked, “You guys know each other?”

The contempt in Ren Ningning’s eyes sparked Xia Qinghan’s anger right away, but she managed to hold it in.

She couldn’t help but grit her teeth as she thought about what happened throughout the day.

Due to the “question leak” incident that previously occurred, the show’s crew had drawn a lot of attention and doubt.

A question leak wasn’t a small issue. If the problem wasn’t properly addressed, the show’s crew would suffer a huge impact.

Thus, the crew had made some new changes.

For two days, the question-setting team had isolated themselves and come up with new questions.

Besides that, the team was prohibited from interacting with outsiders, and the questions were kept strictly confidential.

With the question bank renewed, both the closed tests and multiple-choice questions had now been altered.

During the competition later, the questions would be selected at random.

In other words, 50 percent of the thousand questions that they had previously set had been replaced.

Hence, when the competition started again, Xia Qinghan was completely dazed.

When she previously received the question bank, it took her a few days to memorize all the questions.

Great! Now the questions had been changed! What would become of her then?

Although she wasn’t incompetent by default, she spent all her efforts on the question bank and hadn’t paid any attention to other “irrelevant” questions.

Hence, during the filming today, her error rate was much higher than before.

It didn’t have much impact on the other contestants, for they had been well-prepared all along.

Although a huge proportion of the questions had been replaced, not much discrepancies had arisen as the questions were derived from the same scope.

It only made the disparity in Xia Qinghan’s results more noteworthy.

Compared with her outstanding performance in the previous round, she had done terribly this time.

Although she still managed to make it into the finals, her problem had become conspicuous to everyone.

That was why Ren Ningning disliked her so much.

Xia Qinghan gnashed her teeth in anger as she thought about it.

What enraged her the most was that Xia Xibei’s performance was totally unaffected!

It was exactly the same as the first time. She managed to maintain a 100% accuracy!

That was something that no one else could accomplish! Xia Xibei surely had the new question bank in her hands!

She just couldn’t figure out who was helping her.

Xia Qinghan was overwhelmed with suspicion and rage.

Therefore, she followed them out after the filming ended.

She didn’t expect to see Wan Shicheng right upon stepping out of the building. Apparently, he had come especially for Xia Xibei!

“Brother Shicheng, are you here for me?” Xia Qinghan ignored Ren Ningning and looked towards Wan Shicheng.

Wan Shicheng was kind of surprised as he looked at Xia Qinghan. He didn’t know that she hadn’t left.

Anyway, he could use her as an excuse.

“Yeah, I happen to be passing by, so I thought I could give you a ride home.”

Ren Ningning muttered to Xia Xibei, “Is he stupid or something? Can’t he see that we don’t get along?”

Xia Xibei chuckled softly.

Wan Shicheng wasn’t stupid, he was just overconfident.

He had always thought that arguments among girls were nothing but trivial matters.

The most ludicrous part was that he genuinely thought that girls would bury the hatchet because of him and become BFFs ever since.

Xia Xibei couldn’t criticize his overconfidence enough.

“Beibei!” a cheerful voice sounded from afar.

“Meow!”

“Woof!”

Xia Xibei’s eyes lit up as she exclaimed, “Honey! Asura!”

“Ahhh!” someone gasped from the side.
