All Chapters of She Traded My Genius for Pity Points: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

My girlfriend, Taylor Wakeham, was gently peeling oranges for me one hour before the college entrance exam results were released. She was wearing a faded white shirt. Her features gave her a clean and youthful demeanor.However, if one scrutinized her closely, they would notice that her eyes kept darting around, and that she kept fidgeting in her seat."Don't be nervous, Daniel," she said gently as she brought an orange slice near my mouth. "Although you always get first place during the mock exams, there's still a possibility that you might underperform during an important occasion such as the college entrance exams."It's alright even if you get a bad score. Your family is so rich. You can just ask your father to donate a building to the school. Maybe we can still end up in the same university."How absurd. Everything Taylor said clearly wished for my downfall.At first, I was suspicious of the comments that suddenly appeared in my vision. But a chill ran down my spine when I he

I tapped on my social media account after Taylor left.As expected, Hugo had uploaded a new post to his account that was only visible to his acquaintances not even five minutes ago. The post already had over 100 likes. The attached photo was a screenshot of his college entrance exam results. He had also included a caption."All my hard work has paid off. I'd like to thank the country for protecting the students who got a high score. I'm the happiest person on the planet right now. Thank you for always staying by my side and guiding me @TaylorWakeham."His post was flooded with comments."Oh my god! Zero points! Could this be the legendary 'locked score' that only the cream of the crop among the students get?""I don't know. I've never made it into the top 50 students of the province. I have no idea what a locked score looks like.""It probably is. You should get at least one or two points as long as you don't submit a blank answer sheet. His score must be locked since it's showin

"You… What nonsense are you spouting?" Hugo snapped, his face twisting.His hand that was raised high up in the air trembled violently; he nearly dropped his phone on the floor. He fixed a smile that looked more like a grimace on his face."Everyone online says that if a student gets an extremely high score, their score will be hidden or displayed as zero points to prevent malicious competition among the schools.""That's right!" Alicia exclaimed anxiously, rushing forward to shove the reporter away and shielding Hugo behind her. "You're just a reporter. What do you know? Taylor's the second-best student in the school! There's no way that the person she personally tutored only scored zero points!"Hugo got a locked score! Did you come here to ruin the party because you just can't stand the thought of a top scholar coming from a poor family like ours?""I'm laughing so hard. Do these uncultured people think that they created the college entrance exams system?""What the hell is he

Everyone turned their gazes to the screen in unison. As expected, the word "awkward" was misspelled as "awqward" on the answer sheet. The handwriting also matched Hugo's usual handwriting.Although my name and exam admission details were printed on the answer sheet, the handwriting clearly belonged to Hugo."No… It's not mine…" Hugo stammered as he stumbled back in fear, looking as if he wanted nothing more than to find a hole to hide in.The reporters' keen senses told them that they had a big scoop on their hands. The camera shutters went off in quick succession as they asked, "What's going on here? Why did Hugo's handwriting appear on Daniel's answer sheet?""Could it be true that their results were swapped? But according to what Daniel said, it seemed that he wasn't responsible for what happened?"Taylor froze as reporters surrounded her. Belatedly, she realized that she had unknowingly fallen into the "trap" that she had set for me."What do you have to say for yourself, Tay

In the dream, Hugo left Taylor, taking all her money and dignity with him.The caretaker abused Taylor every day, feeding her rotten food. She also didn't turn her body for several days, causing pus-filled bedsores to develop all over her body.As she lay on the foul-smelling bed, she couldn't help but think about her high school days. She thought about how I used to sacrifice sleep to organize revision materials for her, causing my eyes to turn bloodshot. She thought about how I used to carefully stash high-quality supplements in her bag.She thought about how I had gently comforted her before the college entrance exam results were released. She had ended the life of the only man who didn't harbor any ulterior motives and truly loved her, with her own two hands."Daniel… I'm sorry… Come back, Daniel."The suffocating feeling of losing a loved one clung to Taylor when she woke up from her dream and returned to reality."What's with the racket? Why are you wailing in the middle of
