this……

The physics teacher was overjoyed and immediately followed up by asking, "Would Yan Hanxi like to participate?"

"If He Jing goes, I'll go too."

Instantly, the entire classroom erupted in whistles.

The girl is shy, the boy is making strange noises. The school bully is indeed not one to mess around, but when he does, he goes all out. The banned couple is starting to give us sweet moments again.

The physics teacher asked, "Why is that?"

Yan Hanxi turned to He Jing, his eyes smiling, a hint of teasing mixed with ambiguity, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Let's keep each other company."

He Jing blushed inexplicably and pinched his thigh under the table.

Yan Hanxi: "...Hiss."

He Jing: "Hmph."

The physics teacher couldn't stop smiling, assuming that Yan Hanxi meant to encourage each other when he said they should be paired up. Fearing that Yan Hanxi might change his mind, he quickly said, "Okay, I'll submit the list right away. There will be a quota test in a few days. Yan Hanxi must attend on time."

Yan Hanxi nodded: "Okay."

He Jing lowered her eyelashes, opened her textbook, and explained that the so-called quota exam was a physics exam in which all registered students competed for a spot, ensuring fair competition. The exam questions were more difficult than regular exams.

Cheng Yi might be able to escape the provincial physics competition, but she can't avoid this spot no matter what. I wonder what it will be like if this fake academic genius sneaks into a real battleground.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but glance in Cheng Yi's direction.

Little did they know, Cheng Yi was also thinking about this problem.

She suddenly noticed He Jing's gaze, looked up and met her eyes, only to see He Jing's teasing look. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip, very angry.

Why, why did the slap in the face come so quickly? The exam for the quota is so difficult, how could she possibly pass?

Although she has been cramming on physics, half of her recent test scores were her own, and she was able to answer the physics teacher's questions in class, thus securing her position as a top student.

But it would be absolutely impossible if it came to real combat.

Even if she manages to find a way to pass the quota exam, there's still the provincial physics competition later on.

The examinations in the province are conducted with extremely strict discipline, and cheating is almost 100% eliminated.

Cheng Yi nearly bit her lower lip until it bled before finally managing to come up with a clumsy way to escape—

Feigning illness.

As long as I don't take the test, I won't be exposed.

Let's figure out a way to get a spot first; I'm not going to the provincial physics competition.

In this way, she secured her position as a top student without the risk of being exposed.

Having made up her mind, she glared back fiercely.

He Jing laughed. "Wow, you came up with a solution so quickly. You're truly remarkable, no wonder you're the female lead."

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and by the weekend, twenty or thirty top physics students were taking the entrance exam for the quota.

Yan Hanxi was naturally relaxed, and He Jing was also very confident. Only Cheng Yi seemed to have fallen seriously ill after finishing the exam.

Her lips were pale, her forehead was sweating, and she was extremely weak.

Yan Hanxi looked at He Jing with a lazy smile: "Good student, want to do practice problems together after school?"

He Jing: "Okay."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach Cheng Yi's ears.

Cheng Yi was so jealous she was filled with resentment. These past few days she had been cramming for physics problems, her mind was filled with physics problems while eating, and even in her dreams.

She thought that with her hard work, she would be able to do well on the exam, but when she opened the test paper, she found that all the questions were unfamiliar.

Fortunately, the exam for the quota was all multiple choice, so there was no need to write out the solutions. She pretended to understand the questions, wrote down a few random answers on the exam paper, and then handed it in.
