Chapter 90: Under 700
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Bai Ruoruo had succeeded in setting the rhythm, the corners of her mouth curling slightly. Suddenly, a gloomy voice sounded behind her. “So thoughtful about other people. What school did you graduate from?”
Meeting Smog’s squinting eyes, a look of panic flashed across Bai Ruoruo’s face. “I… I…”
“What? You can’t say?”
Bai Ruoruo stiffly said, “I got scouted by an agent to be a trainee when I was in high school…”
“Chieh.” Xiang Yu laughed unceremoniously.
The live comments:
— [Eh? So Bai Ruoruo only has a high school education?]
— [Emm, we really shouldn’t harbor any high expectations toward celebrities in the entertainment industry]
— [To be honest, Smog is kind of inconsiderate. With a question like that, Bai Ruoruo won’t be able to respond]
— [To be fair, for celebrities that debut early, some of whom were child stars, it makes sense that they wouldn’t be that well-educated. They can just rely on their faces to eat.]
— [In comparison, our Shi Yingdi is really badass! He’s one of the few top students in the entertainment industry. He was the top scorer in his province during the entrance exams and was even admitted into Peking University. Unfortunately, he still ended up dropping out Q_Q]
…
Bai Ruoruo felt exposed in public, and she was so uncomfortable her heart was bleeding.
Now, everyone watching knew that she didn’t even finish high school…
She tried to redirect the attention back to Xiang Yi, facing her with an expression of admiration and envy. “I’m so jealous of you, sister Xiang Yi. You debuted last year, right? Graduating college at the age of nineteen… How amazing!”
Xiang Yi: “…It’s alright. I’m the oldest in our family to graduate from university.”
Big brother, second brother, and third brother were just a few of the geniuses in the family, so to speak. Fourth brother, Xiang Yu, had finished college overseas at the age of seventeen before returning to compete in esports.
Even the most untalented one, Xiang Feng, had graduated with a business administration degree at the age of eighteen.

Growing up alongside these masters and gods, Xiang Yi’s point of reference had been different from ordinary people, thinking that she was a very ordinary vessel.
Who knew that because of her one sentence, the audience in the stream began another round of mockery.
— [Don’t act all high and mighty just because you have a degree in farming. How much nonsense can you spew? It’s really true that the richer people are, the bolder they get]
— [The Vase Fairy’s bullsh*tting skills are getting more natural. Her acting skills should be able to land her a grand slam acting title already. She’s talking as if it really happened]
— [Heh. Ordinary people go to grade school at age 7 and graduate from high school at 18, so they should be in freshman year when they are 19. I have a bold thought… The Vase Fairy might have graduated from university and had changed her age before debuting in the entertainment industry!]
— [Holy f*ck, the person above me, what you just said makes a lot of sense. I’m guessing the Vase Fairy is in her mid-twenties but is still pretending to be tender and pure with her pigtails. How gross]
All kinds of cryptic thoughts began to appear in the livestream. Aside from those who hated Xiang Yi, there was also the navy that the “Heartbeat” program group had bought. The public opinion began trending in the direction of an obvious one-sidedness.
Bai Ruoruo was still not satisfied and added more fuel to the fire. “Senior Shi, you were the top-scoring student in the college entrance exam. I remember your final score was over 700! Sister Xiang Yi, can I ask how you scored in the exam?”
Xiang Yi: “Me? I think it was under 700.” It’s been too long, and she couldn’t remember anything aside from the vague notion that it was nearly 700 points.
The live comments:
— [Hahaha the Vase Fairy is so good at bullsh*tting. The title Queen of Bullsh*tting is hers!]
— [I’ve learned something new. Last time, I scored 400-ish in my mock test; from now on, I’ll just say it was under 700, too!]
— [Come, come, come! Let’s place our bets. I bet fifty cents that the Vase Fairy never even placed above the second-tier line. I remember the standard in Nancheng for a tier two university was 300 points or so]
As the comment section’s carnival was about to begin, Shi Sui’s clear and gentle voice pierced the air. Clear and distinct, he conveyed through the microphone:
“If I recall correctly, you scored 699 points, right?”
This instantly shut down the lively comment section into deadly silence.
