Chapter 46 Jealousy
The moment she saw the results, Jiang Shengnan knew she was doomed.
No, it’s not when I see the results, it’s when the first math result is announced.
That's not right either.
Probably the moment she finished the math test, she knew she was finished.
This time the test paper was not difficult, but for some reason, she got the last multiple-choice question wrong three times.
Either I misread the plus or minus signs, or I forgot a digit.
When Jiang Shengnan hadn't come up with the answer corresponding to the option for the third time, her hands were already shaking.
She wanted to skip this question and look at the fill-in-the-blank questions first.
But when reading the fill-in-the-blank questions, my thoughts always drift to the multiple-choice questions.
Everyone else in the exam room finished the first big question.
Jiang Zhao, who was in the same row as her but ranked fifteen places above her, was about to turn over the first page of the paper.
Jiang Shengnan stared at Jiang Zhao and wondered how she could do it so quickly.
At this moment, when Jiang Zhao raised the test paper, Jiang Shengnan saw that Jiang Zhao had marked ACCBD on the last five multiple-choice questions.
Jiang Shengnan quickly wrote down option D for the last question and changed the answer to the previous question.
Then she looked up at the podium.
The invigilator didn't notice.
The invigilator in an examination room never pays much attention to the discipline in the examination room.
Jiang Shengnan could hear her own heart pounding.
Even though there would be no consequences, she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
She forced herself to calm down and continued looking at the next question.
She read the question carefully. The words put together should be very simple, but why couldn't she understand it now?
The pen tips of the people around her tapped on the table, making a staggered clicking sound, like an endless whirlpool that was about to swallow her up.
And she could even clearly distinguish which voice was Jiang Zhao's answer.
She couldn't remember how she finished the remaining exams.
I just remember that every time after the exam, many people would gather around Jiang Zhao's seat.
When we returned to the classroom after the exam, a group of people were checking answers in the front row.
They were clearly arguing over a fill-in-the-blank question, but as soon as Jiang Zhao came back, they all listened to him.
Lin Chongyang came back and said that the math papers had been corrected.
Jiang Shengnan also went to the office with others.
What's so good about it?
As she thought about it, she found her paper.
99 points.
Each multiple-choice question is worth five points, which means that if she hadn't copied two of Jiang Zhao's multiple-choice questions, she wouldn't even have passed.
The boys were excitedly tallying up the scores for the top students in the first exam room. They shouted, "How come Master Jiang got a perfect score again?"
Full marks.
Jiang Zhao scored full marks again.
Didn’t Jiang Zhao join the cheerleading team?
Didn't you participate in the competition?
Isn’t she wasting time every day explaining questions to this or that insignificant person, whether she knows her or not?
Is she not as hardworking as Jiang Zhao?
She returned home later than Jiang Zhao and got up earlier than Jiang Zhao.
So, why?
Why?
At that moment, Jiang Shengnan clearly realized that she was jealous of Jiang Zhao.
Not envy.
Envy was a disguise for the emotions boiling inside her.
But the voice in her heart told her that she hoped Jiang Zhao would fail the exam.
Even though Jiang Zhao often patiently explained the questions to her, even though Jiang Zhao tolerated her entering and leaving the dormitory after lights out every day.
She was still jealous of Jiang Zhao.
This is so weird.
She was not jealous of Luo Yan who had won so many awards.
Not jealous of Pei Zhiyu who rejected her.
She was not jealous of Lin Chongyang who ignored her in the group.
Don’t be jealous of Chen Huaiyu who laughs every day and easily gets high scores.
She was only jealous of Jiang Zhao.
She was going crazy with jealousy.
So ugly.
When she saw Jiang Zhao rehearsing for the cheerleading team every day, she thought:
Jiang Zhao's mind is not on studying at all, so he is sure to fail the midterm exam.
But in the examination room, when she found that her answers were different from Jiang Zhao's, she immediately chose to believe Jiang Zhao's answer.
Why was she jealous of Jiang Zhao to such an ugly degree?
"You always make excuses. Why don't you just say it's because you're not a boy?"
When Hu Hongyue's slap was accompanied by a curse, Jiang Shengnan finally understood.
Because she is a girl.
Because Jiang Zhao is a girl.
There is no other reason.
Jiang Shengnan rushed towards the railing.
It would be better if I died.
Only death can solve her problems.
But Jiang Shengnan did not fall.
She leaned over the railing.
Jiang Zhao almost fell to the ground, holding her legs tightly.
When Jiang Zhao saw Jiang Shengnan rushing over, she felt something was wrong and she ran over almost reflexively.
But she forgot that the connecting corridor between the two buildings had steps.
Jiang Zhao was tripped and fell heavily to the ground, flying more than a meter away. However, she didn't care about anything else and didn't even have time to get up. She almost rolled and crawled, and finally grabbed Jiang Shengnan's legs before she fell out.
Jiang Shengnan was hanging on the corridor railing, feeling that her pants were about to be pulled off by Jiang Zhao. She was embarrassed and anxious, shouting, "Let go."
She couldn't understand where Jiang Zhao got so much strength from.
Jiang Zhao simply crawled forward on the ground and hugged her tighter. She shouted like a rogue, "I won't let go. You get down first."
"You...you let go first."
"You come down first."
"I'll come down, you let go."
"Then I'll count to three, two, one, together."
Jiang Shengnan was originally holding her breath, but now that she was grabbed by Jiang Zhao, most of her breath dissipated instantly.
She came down from the railing.
Jiang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand.
Her legs hurt so much that she couldn't stand up, so she simply sat against the wall, looked up at Jiang Shengnan and said, "If there's a problem, why don't you just deal with it? Why did you jump off the building? If you're really unhappy, just scold your mother and rebel..."
Before he could finish his words, Hu Hongyue came over angrily.
She had been planning to talk to teachers of other subjects and let Jiang Shengnan reflect on herself, but who knew that Jiang Shengnan would make such a fuss as soon as she turned around.
The moment she saw Jiang Shengnan half of her body sticking out, Hu Hongyue was no longer worried that it was fake.
But when he saw Jiang Shengnan coming down again, that little bit of concern was instantly replaced by anger.
She quickly walked forward, grabbed Jiang Shengnan's shoulders and dragged her aside, cursing, "What do you mean? You can't stand my words. Who are you pretending to die for?"
It was class time, and Hu Hongyue's voice was particularly loud in the quiet campus.
"Speak up!" Hu Hongyue said, "Why aren't you talking? You're trying to kill yourself after I say a few words to you. Do you think you're being worthy of me?"
"I raised you up, I quit my job for you, I endured every day for you, and this is how you repay me? Why don't you say anything?"
Jiang Shengnan glared at Hu Hongyue. Before Hu Hongyue was about to continue scolding her, she suddenly shook off Hu Hongyue's hand and rushed to the railing on the other side without hesitation.
