The entire class fell into a deathly silence.
All the students were stunned.
No... really? They actually got first place?
Despite scoring only 40-something in English and a single-digit score in Chemistry, he excelled in Physics, surpassing He Jing and Yan Hanxi.
Cheng Yi slowly stood up and gave a polite, slight smile: "Thank you, teacher. I will continue to work hard."
Whispers immediately arose from below: "Could he have cheated?"
Who is so biased towards one subject? He's bad at Chinese, math, English, chemistry, and biology, but he gets first place in physics. It looks like he manipulated the results to cover up his lie.
At this moment, Shen Qiuyu stood up and shouted, "Teacher, I'm going to report He Jing! She definitely cheated!"
ha?
The students who were questioning Cheng Yi all turned their attention to He Jing.
The physics teacher was a kind and honest man who hated cheating, so he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Shen Qiuyu said indignantly, "No matter how good He Jing's grades were before, she was only third place. But in such a short period of time, it's like she took some kind of smart drug overnight. She's either first or second. If I'm not mistaken, He Jing also got a high score in physics, right?"
The physics teacher frowned and said "Yes," then announced He Jing's score: "98 points, tied for second place with Yan Hanxi."
Shen Qiuyu immediately turned to look at He Jing and angrily questioned, "He Jing, tell me yourself, what despicable means did you use to deceive the proctor and the exam room's cameras!"
He Jing was so angry she almost laughed. She was just sitting at home when trouble came out of nowhere. Was this her destiny to have to take the blame for the female lead?
She slowly stood up from her seat and said calmly, "I did not cheat."
Shen Qiuyu refused to believe it and strode up to her, rummaging through her desk and drawers, trying to find some cheat sheets. When she found none, she went to her schoolbag, and a bunch of stationery poured out of the bag and landed on the desk, some even falling to the ground. He Jing grabbed her wrist and said in a cold voice, "A bet is a bet. Stop now."
No cheating is no cheating, and no matter how hard you look, you can't find any evidence.
Shen Qiuyu seemed to have found some leverage, and shook off her hand: "Are you feeling guilty? Is it hidden in your phone?"
Even the students who were just watching felt that she had gone a bit too far. Wu Yu, the worst student, couldn't help but speak up: "You have to hand in your phone during the monthly exam. There's no way He Jing could have brought her phone in."
Without hesitation, Shen Qiuyu replied, "That means she has another phone. In any case, it's impossible for her to suddenly become so smart that she not only outsmarted me, but also outsmarted Brother Xi!"
He Jingzhen laughed out loud, her tone laced with sarcasm and pity: "Shen Qiuyu, I don't blame you for having such a normal thought that if you can't do it, others certainly can't either. But you regard Yan Hanxi as a god, thinking he's the smartest person in the world. Have you ever asked your parents if they admit that their genes are inferior to those of Yan Hanxi's parents? Then think about why there can't be someone in this world who can outperform Yan Hanxi?"
"Rankings are meant to be surpassed. No matter how difficult a test paper is, there is a limit to a perfect score. No matter how good Yan Hanxi is, he is still just a person. To maintain his first-place ranking, he has to put in tremendous effort. If you think that Yan Hanxi is really a genius, and that he can get first place even if he skips classes every day, fights, doesn't study, and just glances at the textbook, then it's no wonder that you lack the ambition to win first place."
