28. Shocked to death

Li Zhilan turned back after solving the question to find everyone staring at her with wide eyes and open jaws. She didn't understand what happened so she pushed tge blame towards tge answer she wrote and thought it was wrong.

'How can I get such a simple question wrong. Li Zhilan, Li Zhilan. Where is your mind now a days? How can you be so careless to be able to make mistakes while doing such a simple question?' Li Zhilan mocked and scolded herself inside her heart will continuing to check tye answer she wrote on the board. When she found nothing wrong with her answer, she wondered why was her classmates and Miss Lu giving her that weird 'I don't beleive it' look?

'Hmm... am I overlooking something. Is my answer really wrong? Can't be. It's such a simple one.'

If Miss Lu and the others could hear her thoughts, they would really start doubting in themselves and the world.

''Or-Orchid. H-how did y-you so-solve th-this?'' Miss Lu just couldn't stop suttering seeing the perfect answer on the board.

''I came across it when I was studying for a test before.'' Li Zhilan said while rubbing the tip of her nose with her left hand as the shocked gazes of Miss Lu made her a little nervous though uts not the first time this happened.

Actually throughout her life, since she had both great understanding as well as memorizing capabilities, such moments were much close to daily occurrence for her and she wouldn't feel nervousness even if she was presenting infront of the whole school.

But somehow, that amused gaze fromt he direction of her seat made her feel quite unsettled, as if her heart is about to jump out of her throat. It was quite weird as well and rare for Li Zhilan to experience such a feeling.

''You learned it by yourself or did someone teach you?''

''I learned it by myself ofcourse. If I asked help for such a question, won't I be asking to be mocked myself? I'm not that stupid.'' Li Zhilan explained but seeing Miss Lu's expression become badder than before couldn't help but ask, ''Miss Lu, did I do something wrong?''

''NO!'' Miss Lu couldn't help but scream her protest before coming to her sense, ''I mean NO, ofcourse not. The answer is as per-perfect as it can get. Do-don't worry.''

''Can I sit back, Miss Lu?''

''Y-yes. Please sit d-down.''

Miss Lu still couldn't calm down so she let the class take a rest (more like she needed to rest).

Miss Lu still couldn't guess who would be able to mock a student for not knowing a question out of their level. Whoever it is should just go and check their brains.

But who could tell Miss Lu that the test Li Zhilan was studying for was on an international level.

That she was the middle school student who defeated all the talents of various colleges and won the first prize.

But it was better for Miss Lu to not know. She couldn't even handle that a highschooler knew how to solve what hasn't been taught yet without suttering like crazy and needing a period rest.

If she knew, one could only imagine going to a graveyard and seeing her grave there with the words 'shocked to death' instead of an epitaph.
