The results of the monthly exam are out.

Jiang Jianian did not participate in the monthly exam, while Ye Zhiwei performed exceptionally well. She became the top student in the class, just 2.5 points behind the second-place student, and unsurprisingly, she was also the top student in the grade.

Although Ye Zhiwei knew her grades were good, she never expected to get first place. Although she was in the top five, she was not yet at the point of competing with the first and second place.

Without Jiang Jianian's monthly exam, it should have been a fierce battle between the top two, but unexpectedly, Ye Zhiwei emerged as a dark horse.

The homeroom teacher was particularly pleased, clapping as she said, "Zhiwei, your results this time are quite good. This should be your best result this semester, right? Jiang Jianian is not taking the college entrance examination. I hope that all the students in the class who have won first place will strive for first place in the upcoming city exam. It would be best if all the top ten students could be from our class."

"Especially you, Zhiwei, try your best to get the top spot in the city."

Suddenly burdened with high expectations, Ye Zhiwei felt heavy-hearted: "No, teacher, I can't do it."

This is terrifying. Why did she suddenly become number one? She thought it was enough to stay in the top few. What does being number one mean? It means that the homeroom teacher will start watching her closely, it means that the pressure of grades will fall on her shoulders, and it means that the battle between the top two students in the class will be mixed with Ye Zhiwei, who just wants to be a couch potato.

"Why not? We've already come in first place this time!"

"This was an accident."

The homeroom teacher smiled and said, "Only with ability can you achieve the unexpected result of being number one. This proves that you have the ability. It's a good thing that the competition for the top spot in the class is fierce. You should believe in yourself."

Ye Zhiwei: QAQ

They forcibly dragged her into the battle for first place.

Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but lower her voice and ask Jiang Jianian, "Why didn't you participate in this monthly exam? Because you didn't participate, I unexpectedly got first place."

Jiang Jianian turned to Ye Zhiwei and asked, "Are you blaming me?"

"That's not what I meant. I meant, don't you think it's boring that you come to school every day even though you're not taking exams?" Ye Zhiwei quickly explained.

"I'm bored, so I came to read a book."

Isn't reading more boring?

Studying is such a lonely thing, only Jiang Jianian, who was admitted to university through a special program, could endure this loneliness!

"Since that's the case, I think you should definitely participate. The city exam is coming up soon. You need to single-handedly put down the arrogance of the other schools' top students and show them with your overwhelming scores that our school's top spot is an unattainable goal for them." Ye Zhiwei said earnestly, "You know, before, when you were the one suppressing the top students, the battle between second and third place wasn't this fierce. Now that you're gone, the battle for first place is too terrifying, and it's not good for class harmony at all—"

"Are you afraid of getting first place again?" Jiang Jianian closed his book and looked at Ye Zhiwei.

The two girls at the table behind me have gone crazy.

"What kind of Versailles literature are these two people involved in???"

"In the days you're not here, I'm all alone and feeling incredibly lonely."

"Oh, darling, are you afraid of getting first place again?"

"A couple of academic high achievers, you can't mess with them."

"..."

Ye Zhiwei turned around, pen in hand, and warned, "Hey, you two, that's enough! Who taught you to say things like that???"

Why have rumors that seemed to have died out suddenly resurfaced?

Xiao Jun, who sat behind her, immediately shushed his deskmate and whispered in his ear, "Idiot! Have you forgotten that Sasha warned us not to tell anyone when she told us this secret?"

Seeing Ye Zhiwei's fierce expression, Xiao Jun quickly changed the subject, "Hey, by the way, Jiang Jianian, have you signed your college admission contract? Which university are you planning to apply to?"

Jiang Jianian twirled his pen. Although it was Xiao Jun who asked him the question, his gaze fell on Ye Zhiwei, who had turned around to warn him. The young man looked at Ye Zhiwei and calmly replied, "It hasn't been signed yet."

He never intended to be directly admitted to university.
