Monday is here in the blink of an eye, and the monthly exam is just around the corner.
He Jing was assigned to take the exam in her own class, along with Yan Hanxi.
What's even more infuriating is that, as if fate were deliberately targeting her, Yan Hanxi's seat was right next to hers, with Shen Qiuyu behind her.
With wolves on the right and tigers behind, He Jing felt exhausted. However, the academically challenged student A ran excitedly from the back of the classroom to her: "Sister Jing, we're in the same class for the exam. If I can get 19th place this time, I can sit next to you from now on."
He Jing: "?"
The student with poor grades, A, explained: "I asked the teacher, and the seating arrangement is in vertical rows, not horizontal rows. There are 9 seats in each row, which means there are 18 people. If I get 19th place, I'll be sitting next to you."
He Jing asked, "Did the teacher tell you whether the first place student sat in the seat against the wall or in the aisle?"
The academically challenged student A chuckled and said, "Lean against the wall." He then scratched his head and added, "But, isn't Brother Xi taking the exam too? If Brother Xi is taking it, then Sister Jing, you can only get second place."
He Jing: "..."
Thank you so much!
Shen Qiuyu had just entered the classroom when she heard this remark and scoffed, "Her? She thinks she can get second place?"
The academically challenged student A didn't dare to argue with her, afraid of being beaten. Then he heard Shen Qiuyu say, "He Jing, do you dare to compete with me? If you can get second place in this monthly exam, I, Shen Qiuyu, will write my name backwards."
He Jing smiled and said with a hint of amusement, "But what I want is to get first place."
Shen Qiuyu was thoroughly amused: "You want to surpass Brother Xi? You're dreaming!"
Even with good grades, I usually only get third or fourth place; I can't even consistently get second place.
He Jing didn't want to argue with her at first. It's normal for a young girl of this age to be blinded by love and blindly fall for her crush. But she felt it was necessary to teach her a lesson, which is—a woman can't say no!
"What if I get first place?"
"I will never compete with you for Yan Hanxi again."
"Alright." Although she wasn't interested in whether or not she pursued Yan Hanxi, she accepted the bet. He Jing readily nodded, "Then remember what you said."
Shen Qiuyu snorted and turned around, returning to her seat to review for the exam, determined to teach He Jing a lesson.
The bell rang, and Yan Hanxi arrived late. The tall, leggy boy strolled into the classroom, making his ordinary school uniform look like a high-end custom-made outfit.
As he passed by He Jing, he glanced at her with a smile before taking his seat. Then the proctor also entered the examination room.
...
After finishing the exam, He Jing felt a little exhausted. After all, it had been a long time since she had taken such a long written exam. Taking so many exams in a row was still a bit strenuous, and her fingertips were also a little sore.
The academically challenged student A rushed over to discuss the problem with her: "Sister Jing, what did you choose for the third multiple-choice question in math?"
"A".
"And what about the seventh one?"
“D”.
The underachiever A breathed a sigh of relief and almost jumped for joy: "That's right, everything is right. Sister Jing, thanks to the notes you sold me, I'm in luck this time, I'm sure I can move up two places."
He Jing smiled and said, "Really? Congratulations!"
Student A, who was a poor student, said, "Sister Jing had some notes and even sold them to me. The questions in your notes are amazing; several of them are from the exams."
He Jing couldn't help but ask, "By the way, what's your name?"
The incessantly chattering academic underachiever A suddenly looked like he'd been struck by lightning, his mouth agape. It took him a long time to recover: "Ah...ah...my name is Wu Yu..."
After realizing what had happened, he protested angrily, "Sister Jing, you've gone too far! We're in the same class, and you don't even know my name!"
He Jing apologized and said "I'm sorry," but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Cheng Yi coming out of the next classroom.
She looked dejected until she looked up and saw He Jing, at which point she perked up. She walked up to He Jing with feigned composure and smiled, "I think I did pretty well on my physics test this time."
