Chapter 109 Shen Yuanbai took his place
Thinking of the humiliation he might suffer in the future, Shen Fangcheng's hand holding the pen began to tremble, and he dripped several drops of ink on the roll of paper.
As the roll of paper became dirty, he became even more panicked. What he wrote was already messy, and now it was even messier.
He revised it again and again, trying to make it better, but the more he revised, the more mistakes he made.
By the time the teacher collected the paper, it was already dirty and in a mess.
When the teacher saw him rolling up the paper, his expression changed again and again, "If you don't want to sit in this seat, you can give the opportunity to someone else."
To others?
Shen Fangcheng suddenly had a bad feeling.
He shuddered and begged the master in a low voice, "Master, I really have a bad memory after I hit my head, but it's okay, my parents are already looking for a doctor for me."
"I will soon be able to recover and become the top student in the class. Master, please give me another chance."
"You have completely embarrassed me!" Thinking of Shen Fangcheng's recent academic performance, the teacher felt ashamed.
"Go back to your seat." The teacher scolded coldly.
Everyone sat in their seats reading, waiting for the teacher to review the articles on the scroll.
Shen Fangcheng couldn't read for a moment and was extremely nervous.
When the teacher picked up his paper roll, Shen Fangcheng's heart was in a knot.
The Master's expression changed again and again as he looked at the paper roll that looked like a ghostly scribble.
He simply picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and painted a heavy line upwards without even writing the level he had, and simply threw it aside.
Seeing this, Shen Fangcheng's heart sank.
Soon, the toilet paper rolls were returned to everyone.
Shen Fangcheng looked downcastly at his unmarked paper.
After the teacher briefly commented on the article, he looked at Shen Fangcheng coldly, "Shen Fangcheng, you will take your things and leave this seat later. This seat is reserved for the best student in the school."
Shen Fangcheng was stunned, and quickly ran to the teacher to plead, "Teacher, even if you let me go, there is no other smarter person who can come to this school. Instead of that, you might as well wait for my brain to recover a little, and then I will definitely be able to get the same score as before."
Hearing this, the Master laughed and said, "Someone may not be as smart as you, but he works harder than you. It won't take long for him to replace you."
After saying this, the teacher called the end of the class and everyone dispersed.
Shen Fangcheng stared at the Master's departing figure unwillingly.
He wanted to see who would take his seat.
After leaving the academy, he went to a jewelry shop to see if someone could help him inlay the jade pendant.
Who knew that after seeing the jade pendant, the other person would shake his head repeatedly.
"We can't do this for you."
"Why can't you do it? Isn't it just a simple inlay? You can inlay it for me with silver. It needs to be done quickly. Is one hour enough?" Shen Fangcheng asked repeatedly.
The owner of the jewelry shop frowned, "Your jade pendant is full of cracks. If you inlay it with silver, it will break into pieces when it is touched or heated."
"What!" Shen Fangcheng became anxious when he heard this.
If this jade pendant breaks, he will be useless.
"No, this jade pendant cannot be broken!"
"It can't be broken, look at the fine cracks." The owner of the jewelry store shook his head, "or you should spend money to buy a new one. Although the quality of this jade pendant is okay, it is not a rare treasure."
"What do you know? This is more precious than rare treasures." Shen Fangcheng held the jade pendant and examined it with heartache.
Only then did I realize that, at some point, this jade pendant had many hair-thin cracks on it, crisscrossing like a spider web.
If the jade pendant really broke along these cracks, it would be impossible to put it back together.
Shen Fangcheng was extremely anxious, but he did not dare to tell his parents about this when he got home. He just sat alone at his desk, sighing.
Shen Ruyi saw this scene while strolling along on her short legs.
She stared at the jade pendant in Shen Fangcheng's hand thoughtfully.
She seemed to have thought of a solution.
The next day, Shen Fangcheng went to the academy early and squatted in the corner to see which newcomer had replaced him.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view.
It’s Shen Yuanbai!
Shen Fangcheng's face darkened.
Why is that fool here?
Could it be that the person who replaced him was Shen Yuanbai?
On what basis, how could that idiot who can't even recognize a single word take his place!
Shen Fangcheng became angrier and angrier, and he went up to grab Shen Yuanbai, "Hey, who asked you to come here?"
Shen Yuanbai turned around and saw that it was Shen Fangcheng. He frowned slightly and said, "Be more polite."
"Besides, I'm here to study, and I can come whenever I want."
"What qualifications do you, a fool, have to come here?" Shen Fangcheng's face darkened.
But after he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong.
Shen Yuanbai was obviously like a fool, how come he speaks so coherently now?
The cracks on the jade pendant had only appeared not long ago, so it shouldn't have recovered so quickly.
"Shen Fangcheng, you know who is the fool. I can study here because I passed the exam." After saying that, Shen Yuanbai shook off Shen Fangcheng and walked into the school without looking back.
Shen Fangcheng was unwilling to give in, so he hurriedly chased after him.
At this moment, the teacher just arrived, and Shen Fangcheng grabbed the teacher again, "Teacher, Shen Yuanbai from the Shen family's eldest house is a fool, this is known to everyone. Even if he has improved now, he is not worthy of taking my place in this school."
Hearing this, the teacher looked at Shen Fangcheng as if he was a fool and said, "You should go home and have a good rest. Go see a doctor to check your head."
"Yuan Bai's score in this exam ranks among the top five in the entire academy. You call him a fool. Then who are you? And what do you think of other students?"
Hearing this, Shen Fangcheng was stunned.
The other students looked at his stunned expression and laughed at him.
"You are stupid and yet you have the nerve to doubt others. Shen Fangcheng, your face is thicker than the city wall."
"If you don't want to be beaten, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise we will be disgusted by you."
"I heard that your score in this exam was the third lowest in the entire academy. You're really boasting, ugh."
…
The mocking voices continued to be heard, and Shen Fangcheng's face turned pale and blue.
No one spoke up for him because everyone present had been bullied by him before.
He was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he ran home with the book in his arms.
When I got home, I couldn't hold back my tears.
Qin Yunshuang looked at him and saw that he had returned at this time, and asked in surprise, "What happened?"
"Mom, they all bully me. Ever since the jade pendant started to crack, I'm not as smart anymore. They started bullying me. I can't read this book anymore."
Shen Ruyi was obediently eating the porridge Qin Yunshuang fed her. When she heard this, her brows slightly frowned.
It shouldn't be like this.
Her brother should be very smart and promising, but why is the plot becoming more and more different from the original?
"Mother, I have a way." Shen Ruyi suddenly spoke.
Qin Yunshuang and Shen Fangcheng looked at her in surprise.
They knew that Shen Ruyi was precocious and could speak at an early age, appearing to be smarter and more clever than those three or five-year-old children.
But it's just a baby after all, what good can be done?
