Chapter 38

The whole class was dead silent.

All the students were astonished.

“No… No way, Cheng Yi actually got first place?”

She had only scored 40 points in English and a single digit in Chemistry. Yet, she stood out in Physics and surpassed He Jing and Yan Hanxi?

Cheng Yi stood up slowly and smiled politely. “Thank you, Teacher. I will continue to work hard.”

Whispers immediately rang out below, “Could she have cheated?”

It’s not common for someone to excel in one subject while struggling in others. Focusing on Physics alone and obtaining first place seemed like an attempt to cover up some deception.

At this moment, Shen Qiuyu stood up and said loudly, “Teacher, I want to report He Jing. She must have cheated!”

“Huh?”

The students who were questioning Cheng Yi turned their attention to He Jing.

The Physics teacher was a gentle and honest person. He hated cheating, so his face darkened and he asked, “What happened?”

Shen Qiuyu said angrily, “No matter how good He Jing’s grades were before, she was only in third place. However, in such a short period of time, she seemed to have taken a smart pill overnight. She was either first or second. If I’m not wrong, He Jing also scored high in Physics, right?”

The Physics teacher frowned and said, “Yes.” He reported He Jing’s score, “98 points, in second place with Yan Hanxi.”

Shen Qiuyu immediately turned to look at He Jing and asked angrily, “He Jing, tell the truth. What despicable methods did you use to deceive the invigilators and the surveillance cameras in the examination hall?”

He Jing was so angry that she laughed. She was sitting at home, and the blame fell from the sky. Was this her fate of having to bear the burden of the female lead?

She slowly stood up from her seat and said indifferently, “I didn’t cheat”

Shen Qiuyu didn’t believe her. She strode up to her and rummaged through her desk and drawers, attempting to find a cheat sheet. When she didn’t find anything, she moved on to rummage through her school bag. A large pile of stationery poured out of her school bag and smashed onto the table. Some even fell to the ground. He Jing grabbed her wrist and said coldly, “If you’re willing to bet, you have to admit defeat. Enough is enough.”

If she didn’t cheat, she didn’t cheat. No matter how much they searched, they wouldn’t find any evidence.

Shen Qiuyu seemed to have found something to use against her, and she shook her hand away, “You’re feeling guilty. Is it hidden in your phone?”

Even the students who were watching the show felt that she had gone a little overboard. Struggling student A, Wu Yu, could not help but say, “You have to hand in your phone during the monthly exam. He Jing can’t bring her phone in.”

Shen Qiuyu answered without thinking, “That means she has another phone. Anyway, she definitely can’t become so smart all of a sudden. It’s fine if she passed me, but she also passed Brother Xi!”

He Jing laughed genuinely. She said in a mocking and pitying tone, “Shen Qiuyu, if you can’t do it yourself, others can’t do it either. I don’t blame you for having such thoughts, but you treat Yan Hanxi as a god and think he’s the smartest in the world. Have you asked your parents if they admit that their genes are inferior to Yan Hanxi’s parents’ genes? Think about it again, why can’t there be someone in this world who can surpass Yan Hanxi in academics?”

“Rankings are meant to be surpassed. No matter how difficult a test paper is, there’s always a maximum score. No matter how good Yan Hanxi is, he’s just a person. He has to put in a lot of effort to maintain his first place. If you really think that Yan Hanxi is a genius who can get a first place even if he skips class every day, fights, and doesn’t study. Then it’s not surprising that you don’t have the courage to get first place.”
