"Today's exam is very important. In order not to delay your study time, the school has not adjusted your seats. Don't do any tricks. I can see everything clearly from here. Even if you can pass this exam, can you cheat in the college entrance examination?" Teacher Duan warned the students from the podium.

It's a cliché, an essential procedure before every exam.

He only took the Chinese test in the morning. After finishing his test paper, An Jingzhi was spinning his pen boredly. When he turned around, his eyes met Teacher Duan. Teacher Duan's eyes seemed to be saying, "Behave yourself, kid."

I had no choice. I woke up too early and the rest of the day was too boring to read anything else. If I turned my head around and looked around, the teacher would think I was cheating, so I could only lie flat on my stomach and sleep until the test was over.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam.

"Wake up, why are you sleeping during the exam?"

"Well, are you done with the exam?" An Jingzhi raised his head sleepily and looked at Jiang Lan in front of him.

Jiang Lan was somewhat helpless. "How could you sleep in the exam room? Didn't you say that this exam would definitely give me a scare? Why did you scare me like this? I saw you sleep during exams before, so there's no difference."

An Jingzhi stretched and explained, "I have nothing to do after finishing the work. I kept looking around for Teacher Duan and she thought I was cheating and was trying to copy someone else's work."

"Okay, if you say you're done, I'll assume you're done. I'll see how many points you get on the test then."

At noon, there were three people eating in the cafeteria: An Jingzhi, Zhang Wenjie and Jiang Lan. Zhang Wenjie came here on his own.

Ever since that day of playing basketball, An Jingzhi rarely hung out with Zhang Wenjie.

"Are you two together? I see it's all over the place." Zhang Wenjie looked at the two of them curiously at the table. An Jingzhi finally came to his senses. It's better to like anyone than Chu Ning. She's been pretending all day.

An Jingzhi glanced at Jiang Lan and said to Zhang Wenjie, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhang Wenjie was a little surprised, "You two aren't together yet?"

The two of them often went in and out together, and were always flirting with each other during class breaks. It was said that An Jingzhi was asking Jiang Lan questions.

He didn't believe An Jingzhi really wanted to learn. He probably just made up an excuse to get closer to him.

Everyone in the next class heard about their relationship.

Zhang Wenjie and Chu Ning are in the same class, Class 8 of Senior 3.

In the previous life, Zhang Wenjie repeatedly advised the original owner not to trust Chu Ning too much, but the original owner did not believe Zhang Wenjie at all. Instead, Chu Ning held a grudge against the original owner because he complained about Zhang Wenjie to Chu Ning, so the original owner broke off their friendship with him.

For Chu Ning, the original owner cut off contact with his good brother who he grew up with.

When the An Group went bankrupt, Zhang Wenjie was negotiating business abroad and had no idea about it. He even went to visit the original owner when he was in prison, but he did not go to comfort him, but to scold him. Zhang Wenjie regretted having made such a mean and despicable friend.

An Jingzhi looked helpless and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We are just friends. Jiang Lan usually tutors me and is misunderstood by others."

"It's okay that I explain the questions to you during the break, but why do you two eat together? I remember you didn't eat in the cafeteria before." Zhang Wenjie didn't believe it at all.

He remembered An Jingzhi telling him on the playground that he liked Jiang Lan. But judging by his appearance, he probably didn't catch up with her.

"The cafeteria is nearby, so I can go back to class to continue studying after eating." This reason is consistent with my student identity, but it does not fit An Jingzhi's usual identity as a rich second-generation playboy.

Afraid that Zhang Wenjie would continue to ask questions, An Jingzhi hurriedly changed the subject.

I remember that Zhang Wenjie went to study abroad after graduation, but he was a real academic master. He got in through exams, not money. "How is it going? Has your husband chosen a school for you? Where are you going to study?"

“I’m still thinking about it, but I think I’ll go to England.”

Jiang Lan sat aside and ate silently, but became even more silent after An Jingzhi repeatedly denied the relationship between them.

The two chatted for a while and found that Jiang Lan was silent. Not wanting to ignore her, they turned the topic to school.

An Jingzhi joked, "Jiang Lan, I guess you're number one in the grade again this time, right?"

"I don't know. The questions this time are a bit difficult." Jiang Lan said calmly.

Zhang Wenjie joked, "Hey, aren't you too modest?" He was a good student because of his own hard work, plus the gold medal tutor his family hired, who cost tens of thousands per lesson.

Even with all his cheating skills, he still couldn't score higher than other people in the school, let alone Jiang Lan. He could barely squeeze into the top ten, and Jiang Lan always ranked first among the top ten students by age.

Competition for other positions was fierce. Most of those who could consistently place in the top ten, like him, were students from wealthy families who had paid handsomely for top-tier tutors. This showed just how strong Jiang Lan's learning ability was.

Not far from the three-person seat.

Pan Tang pointed in the direction of An Jingzhi and the other two and said to Chu Ning, "Hey, Chu Ning, look, isn't that An Jingzhi and the others?"

Chu Ning looked up and saw the three of them talking and laughing. Zhang Wenjie, who usually looked stern and a little disgusted with her, was now smiling at Jiang Lan like a flower.

An Jingzhi would look at Jiang Lan every two sentences, as if that icy face could go well with food!

Chu Ning said expressionlessly, "Eat." She stabbed the food with her chopsticks hard, and soon the plate was messed up. Pan Tang, who was sitting next to her, was frightened by her nervous look.

"Chu Ning...are you okay? It's just An Jingzhi. If he doesn't like you, it's his loss. Let's find someone better. There are plenty of people chasing you."

There are indeed many people chasing after her, but there is no one like An Jingzhi who comes from a wealthy family, obeys her every word, truly loves her and is so easy to deceive!

"Who cares who he likes? I'm not eating anymore. Today's meal is terrible!"

Chu Ning slammed the chopsticks on the table, stood up and turned away.

"Wait a minute, classmate. After we finish eating, we need to take our plates to the place where they are placed." A student with a red armband on his arm stopped Chu Ning who wanted to leave.

Chu Ning took a deep breath and gave a stiff smile, "I see. I suddenly forgot, sorry."

If you leave immediately, your class discipline points will be deducted, which will affect the reputation of the entire class and you will be criticized by the teacher.

Chu Ning took stiff steps, wanting only to leave as quickly as possible to avoid the inquiring eyes of her classmates. She felt as if everyone was whispering and laughing at her.

Pan Tang, who was left behind by her: "..."

Why does Chu Ning look so scary today? Her eyes look like she wants to eat someone. So scary. I'd better not play with her anymore.

The commotion here wasn't a big deal, but Chu Ning was somewhat of a celebrity, and coupled with his complicated relationship with An Jingzhi and Jiang Lan, he'd been a hot topic at school lately. This inevitably led to a surge in interest, with everyone wondering why Chu Ning had lost his composure. Could it be that he'd been irritated by seeing An Jingzhi and Jiang Lan eating together?

This was the reason, but more importantly, the more Chu Ning thought about it, the more she felt unwilling to accept it. Why should she become the laughing stock of others? And as a loser at that?

If anyone is going to be dumped, it should be Chu Ning!
