"Ding ding ding..." The class bell rang, and Su Xiaoqi packed her bag, preparing to leave the classroom.
"Su Xiaoqi, wait up!" Wang Qiang caught up with Su Xiaoqi and stopped her.
"What is it?" Su Xiaoqi paused and turned to ask.
Wang Qiang had always thought of Su Xiaoqi as an underachiever, believing her poor grades were innate and unchangeable. However, Su Xiaoqi's performance today puzzled him, and he was convinced that she was just putting on a show.
Wang Qiang decided he would expose Su Xiaoqi's facade and make her lose face in front of their classmates.

"Su Xiaoqi, you’re just pretending today, right? I can see you haven’t really understood anything," Wang Qiang blocked Su Xiaoqi in the hallway, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
Su Xiaoqi stopped and looked at Wang Qiang. Instead of getting angry, she calmly asked, "Why do you say that? I clearly solved the problems."
"Don't give me that! You're just putting on an act. I don't believe you've really gotten smarter! How about we make a bet? If you can solve the problem I give you, I'll admit you’ve actually changed. If you can't solve it, you'll have to admit you're just pretending. What do you say?"
Su Xiaoqi looked at Wang Qiang's confident smile and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly; this Wang Qiang was so full of himself. She had already seen through his tricks.
"Okay, I accept your challenge," Su Xiaoqi nodded confidently. She was eager to show Wang Qiang that she was no longer the underachiever he thought she was.
Seeing Su Xiaoqi agree, Wang Qiang smugly took out a piece of paper and pulled a pen from his bag, writing down a problem.
"This question is from the sophomore math textbook. If you can solve it, I'll admit you’ve really become smarter," Wang Qiang said proudly as he handed the paper to Su Xiaoqi.
Su Xiaoqi glanced at the problem, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
"This question is too easy for me; I could solve it with my eyes closed!" Su Xiaoqi glanced contemptuously at Wang Qiang, picked up her pen, and quickly wrote down the answer on the paper.
Wang Qiang watched as Su Xiaoqi effortlessly wrote down the answer, feeling secretly astonished. He never expected that Su Xiaoqi could solve it so quickly. He took the answer she wrote and carefully checked it, finding that her reasoning was very clear and there were no mistakes at all.
"You... you really solved it? This is impossible!" Wang Qiang could hardly believe his eyes; he couldn't accept that Su Xiaoqi had actually solved the problem.
"What's impossible about it? Let me tell you, I'm not the same Underachiever who used to be bullied anymore!"
Wang Qiang looked at Su Xiaoqi's confident smile, filled with shock and disbelief. He had to admit that Su Xiaoqi had truly changed.
Wang Qiang fell silent; he couldn't refute Su Xiaoqi's words because her performance had proven everything.
In the classroom, when the classmates saw the conversation between Su Xiaoqi and Wang Qiang, they all gathered around.
Su Xiaoqi felt a surge of joy as she noticed the change in her classmates' expressions. She was no longer an Underachiever looked down upon by others.
"Alright, the matter has been resolved; it's time for class!" Teacher Zhang walked over and said to the students.
The classmates returned to their seats one by one. Wang Qiang sat in his seat, watching Su Xiaoqi's back, filled with complex emotions.
"Su Xiaoqi, you are really impressive; you've truly made me see you in a new light," Wang Qiang said to Su Xiaoqi, his tone filled with admiration.
Su Xiaoqi just smiled and said nothing. She knew that her fate had already changed.
And all of this has just begun.
"I must become your rival, Su Xiaoqi!" Wang Qiang secretly resolved, determined to show Su Xiaoqi that he could change as well.

"Su Xiaoqi, your recent performance has truly impressed everyone!" Teacher Zhang looked at Su Xiaoqi with admiration, unable to help but exclaim. Su Xiaoqi, who used to often doze off in math class, was now actively participating in discussions and offering unique insights.
"It's all thanks to the teacher's guidance," Su Xiaoqi replied with a bright smile. She wasn't being overly modest because she knew her recent progress was not solely due to Teacher Zhang; there was another mysterious force helping her.
Su Xiaoqi's learning efficiency had increased significantly. She could easily grasp the knowledge taught by the teacher and apply it flexibly. Her demonstrated learning ability left her classmates in disbelief.
"Su Xiaoqi, how did you suddenly become so amazing? You haven't been using any cheats, have you?" Li Li leaned closer to Su Xiaoqi and whispered, curious about her sudden transformation.
Su Xiaoqi smiled mysteriously without answering. She simply gazed out at the sky, filled with anticipation for the future.
"I need your help, Su Xiaoqi." Alex suddenly appeared beside Su Xiaoqi, his voice low and mysterious.
"You... how did you get here?" Su Xiaoqi was somewhat surprised; she had thought Alex would remain in that mysterious space and never expected him to appear in her classroom.
"I need you to help me save the Earth." Alex did not answer Su Xiaoqi's question but directly stated his purpose.
