Chapter 48 A Mixed Feeling Now Wen Han was truly unhappy.
Wen Han asked warily, "Why are you asking this?"
Xu Changyuan said impatiently, "I copied his exam paper!"
Lin He exclaimed, "Why didn't you copy someone else's?"
Xu Changyuan said confidently, "Nonsense, everyone there is a familiar face except him. He must have failed the test last time. Who else would we copy from if not him? Everyone else is just as bad."
That makes sense.
"Him? He is—" Lin He hadn't finished speaking when Wen Han grabbed him by the neck. "You copied someone else's paper, and you still have the nerve to complain?"
Xu Changyuan looked unconvinced. Wen Han walked to Class 5 first and gave Lin He a look, implying that he must not say Jing Yu's name.
Lin He winked: Are you stupid? If he knew which class you were in, wouldn't he be able to find Jing Yu?
Wen Han said with a troubled expression: "Oh, right."
Lin He smiled and said, "Go take your exam, the physics exam is coming up soon."
Seeing that he still had the leisure to chat, Wen Han asked, "Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
"Don't worry about me, I can finish writing even if it takes an hour longer."
Wen Han wasn't in the mood to talk to him.

When the physics test papers were handed out, Wen Han quickly flipped through them. Sure enough, many of the question types that Jing Yu had shown him were on the test. He picked up his pen and started writing in boxes, which made Fang Songxia in front of him turn the test paper over and over again, doubting her eyes. She thought the test was easy this time.
Looks like I'll pass physics this time. Wen Han felt he really needed to study hard. Even a troublemaker like Zhang Yongqi was assigned to the same exam room as him. What if Zhang Yongqi did better than him next time? Where would he put his face then?
"Jingyu!" Wen Han said excitedly as she returned to class after the exam, "I got so many good physics scores! I finally managed to get a few of the big questions right this time."
He was about to move his desk inside when someone behind him, not paying attention, pushed the desk forward, manually compressing Wen Han's waist.
"Ouch!" Wen Han turned around and saw Zhang Huihui looking ashen-faced.
Before Wen Han could say anything, Zhang Huihui suddenly stumbled backward and fell to the ground.
...He hadn't even had a chance to get angry yet. Was he really that scary in Zhang Huihui's eyes?
Yang Lanjun glanced at him lightly. Wen Ruan happened to return and saw this scene. She stepped forward, helped Zhang Huihui up, and comforted him for a few words.
Wen Han asked softly, "What's wrong with him?"
"I bombed the Chinese exam this morning," Yang Lanjun whispered. "After the math exam this afternoon, I even went to compare answers with others, and I got most of them wrong. So when I took the physics exam, I completely lost it. I wonder if it's because of Lin He."
Zhang Huihui has been focusing all her attention on Lin He this month, and she's been suspicious of him all the time. How can she concentrate on her studies?
Yang Lanjun smiled and said, "I used to hear people say that dating affects studies, but I didn't believe it. It turns out it's true."
Even when this girl was obsessed with Gu Cheng, her grades remained consistently high, so naturally she couldn't understand the struggles of those who were academically weak.
Fang Songxia wandered around, not looking for the answers but just listening to the gossip. However, he was good at math and physics, so even if he heard the answers, it didn't matter. He sat down and started talking about the gossip he had just heard: "Sigh, it seems someone cheated in the biology lab and the principal called their parents home."
Wen Han quickly replied, "I know, it was Lin He who took him to the office."
Zhang Huihui was just going to the back to get her English textbook when she heard Wen Han mention Lin He's name. She froze on the spot, seemingly lost in thought.
Ms. Yang Wei came to supervise their evening self-study. She coughed twice: "Alright, stop talking and study on your own."
Ms. Yang Wei had only recently graduated from university and still retained some of her student-like qualities, so she couldn't possibly control the students' chatter.
Wen Han asked Jing Yu, "Shouldn't it be the homeroom teacher? Why is it the physics teacher?"
Fang Songxia leaned back gently and covered her face with her notebook: "Let me tell you, our homeroom teacher and Mr. Wang from next door teamed up to play soccer."
"It's already dark and they're still not done playing. How addicted are they?"
"No, our homeroom teacher won!" Fang Songxia whispered. "They agreed that the loser would treat everyone, but our homeroom teacher got so excited that he twisted his ankle and is currently in the hospital getting X-rays. He can only pretend that he has an emergency and ask Teacher Yang to come."
"Really?" Jing Yu nudged Wen Han quietly, but Wen Han was too excited to notice. "How did you know?"
"The class representative from the next class said that our homeroom teacher walks with a limp, a crooked gait."
"Really?" Wen Han and Fang Songxia froze, and when they looked up, they saw Yang Wei. "Your homeroom teacher said that her child at home had a fever and she couldn't leave."
Fang Songxia laughed awkwardly twice.
"Hurry up and review, don't you have an English test tomorrow morning?" Yang Wei asked. "Fang Songxia, what was your score on the last English test? You were chatting with Wen Han."
Fang Songxia mumbled, "110."
"Then why don't you hurry up and take a look at the test paper?" Yang Wei turned her head and asked, "Wen Han, what about you?"
Fortunately, Wen Han's English was good: "134".
Just when everyone thought Yang Wei wouldn't say anything more, she paused for a few seconds and then quickly said, "Your English is so good, did you spend all the time you spent studying physics learning English?"
Wen Han: "...Teacher, I did pretty well on the physics test this time."
Yang Wei was surprised: "Really? About what score?"
Wen Han said proudly, "I'm sure I'll pass this time."
Yang Wei narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Do you think that getting a passing score in physics is a great achievement?"
Wen Han nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook her head as she realized what she had done.
"Study hard and stop talking, understand?"
"knew."
The girl behind her, who was reading a novel during evening self-study without homework, escaped a disaster because Wen Han and Fang Songxia were chatting and drawing attention to each other.
Wen Han lowered her head and asked softly, "Jing Yu, why didn't you remind me when the teacher came over?"
Jing Yu said, feeling wronged, "I did remind you."
Wen Han frowned: "When?"
"I poked you twice just now, and you brushed my hand away."
Wen Han blinked: "I thought you wanted to talk to me."
Yang Wei coughed, and Wen Han quickly turned her head away.
——
After finishing all the exams on the second day, Wen Han breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who wrote the chemistry book? It's so difficult."
"It feels like it's beyond the syllabus; a lot of it is from later material." Wen Han was packing her pencil case. Zhang Yongqi had already finished packing, but he didn't leave. He just stood next to their table, acting suspiciously, waiting for someone.
Wen Han looked up and caught him peeking. Zhang Yongqi immediately turned away, but a quarter of his face was still turned towards Wen Han, his eyes darting around. If Wen Han hadn't had nothing valuable on her person or in her pencil case, he would have suspected Zhang Yongqi of trying to steal something.
Fang Songxia and Wen Han, as if on the same wavelength, asked in confusion, "What exactly is he trying to steal? You didn't bring any money with you either."
"Who knows? Let's hurry up and go." He really needs to do well on this exam; he doesn't want to share an exam room with those hooligans again.
"Holy crap, holy crap!" These words sounded a bit out of place coming from a beauty like Yang Lanjun. She was looking around when she saw Wen Han and her eyes lit up: "Do you know what Zhang Huihui is up to?"
"He went to settle accounts with Lin He, finally realizing he'd been tricked?" Is that even possible with someone like Zhang Huihui?
"You'd never guess," Yang Lanjun waved her hand. "Wasn't I in the same exam room as Lin He?"
"Mmm." Wen Han and Fang Songxia leaned their heads closer.
"The exam just ended, and Lin He's homeroom teacher also returned to the class, asking Lin He to go to Class 8 to find Zhang Huihui."
"Class 8?"
"Zhang Huihui is taking the exam in Class 8." Yang Lanjun said incredulously, "Guess why Lin He went to find him?"
A bad feeling crept into Wen Han's mind: "Could he have cheated too, just because he didn't do well on the previous tests?"
Although Zhang Huihui's grades were average, she had never cheated before.
"If he thought that way, he'd be a normal person," Yang Lanjun said speechlessly. "Guess why he cheated?"
Fang Songxia couldn't guess: "Why?"
"Just to say a few words to Lin He."
"Huh?" Wen Han asked incredulously, "Just for this?"
"He heard from somewhere that the students who cheated would be asked to find Lin He. After Lin He left him, he couldn't find Lin He at all, so he came up with this terrible idea. According to the people in Class 8 who took the exam, he was even smiling when Lin He called him out."
"Oh my god." Wen Han's feelings were complicated.
The students in the class were all talking about Zhang Huihui, and then Zhang Huihui came back on her own a while later.
Wen Ruan, afraid of upsetting Zhang Huihui, asked, "How is it?"
“I didn’t cheat. There was nothing on that piece of paper,” Zhang Huihui laughed. “They said a few words to me and then let me go back to class.”
"That's good." Wen Ruan said cautiously, "Don't do it again next time."
Do you know what Lin He and I said?
Wen Ruan forced a smile: "...What?"
“He didn’t say anything to me.” Zhang Huihui didn’t seem sad at all. “He had said several times before that he found me annoying, but he didn’t scold me this time. I guess he couldn’t bear to.”
Wen Han silently tidied her desk, feeling a mix of emotions that she didn't know how to express.
The class monitor started handing out the answers so the students could check them themselves. Wen Han revised her answers and did well on the test; she actually passed physics.
He asked, "Jingyu, aren't you going to give me the answer?"
Jing Yu was reading a book when he smiled and said, "Anyway, the teacher will talk about it the next day."
Aren't you curious about your score?
Jing Yu shook her head. Having just finished her exams, Wen Han had no desire to study at all: "Then how about I help you correct them?"
Wen Han was genuinely unhappy now.
Jingyu usually does his own thing during class, so why does he get such good grades?
Wen Han looked at it again and again, calculated it again and again. Was it normal to lose only a few points in physics?
Yang Lanjun went to the back to get some water and happened to glance at Jingyu's test paper. She thought it was Wen Han who had taken the test: "When did you get so good at physics? Did you secretly study at night?"
"No, no, this isn't my test paper." Wen Han was determined to defend her innocence.
Yang Lanjun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
When the answers were handed to Zhang Huihui, he immediately crumpled them into a ball and stuffed them into his desk, making a noise that could be heard throughout the entire classroom.
