Happy weekends always pass quickly. Chen Yu groggily opened her eyes, got up, packed her schoolbag, and went downstairs.
Shen Yan had prepared breakfast early and was waiting for her to go downstairs.
There was a math test today, which was a pop quiz.
The first class was a test. Chen Yu sat in her seat, swallowed the last bite of her steamed bun, and then drank a sip of milk to help the bun go down.
The math teacher arrived right after we finished eating.
She was holding a stack of test papers. "Zhang Qingqing, come up here and hand out the test papers."
"Okay, teacher."
Chen Yu watched as Zhang Qingqing walked up to the podium and began distributing the test papers. Zhang Qingqing was the math class representative, a position she had held since the beginning of high school. Her math scores had always been number one, even surpassing Shen Yan by a few points.
Chen Yu stared at her back, lost in thought. What kind of girl could be so interested in math and have such good grades?
Zhang Qingqing walked up to Chen Yu, placed two test papers on them, and then went to do something else.
"Alright, get the test paper and start working on it. You only have one class period."
The math teacher took a sip of tea, then sat down and checked the time.
Chen Yu chose to answer the questions she knew first. The long-answer questions were still her weak point. Many times, when Chen Yan explained something for the first time, she could understand it and do it, but when the exam actually came, her mind would become a mess and she would miss the correct answer.
After a class, Chen Yu finally finished the test paper. Chen Yan had finished early and watched Chen Yu work. He checked Chen Yu's problem-solving approach and finally understood why she made mistakes on the more difficult questions. He summarized the key points and explained them to Chen Yu that evening.
He can't see Wang Yue and Jiang Yang's interactions, and he doesn't know how things are going between them.
As soon as the bell rang for the second period, the math teacher told everyone to put down their pens.
"Alright, students, please collect your test papers."
The math teacher asked Zhang Qingqing to distribute the test papers randomly again.
Li Chang received Chen Yu's exam paper.
Looking at Chen Yu's neat formulas, he felt a mix of surprise and displeasure. Had Chen Yu really made progress in his studies?
Li Chang didn't believe it; he still thought that Chen Yu's grades must have been copied from Shen Yan.
"Hey, Li Chang, whose did you take?"
Wu Hao, Li Chang's deskmate, nudged Li Chang's arm.
"Look." Li Chang picked up the test paper and showed Wu Hao the name on it.
Wu Hao's eyes darted around. "Change her right answers to wrong ones, make her question the meaning of life."
Li Chang gave Wu Hao a thumbs up as if he had just realized something, saying, "That's a great idea!"
Shen Yan quietly explained the problem he had just seen to Chen Yu. Chen Yu's algorithm was correct, but she seemed to have taken a different approach in the middle steps.
Chen Yu nodded. She was easily distracted when working on long problems and would sometimes make mistakes in her thinking.
The test paper in her hand belonged to Wang Yue. She directly exchanged it with Shen Yan so that he could correct it, which would be beneficial for him to teach Wang Yue.
Finally, the one that ended up in her hands was from a classmate who didn't like studying; they only answered the multiple-choice questions and didn't understand anything else.
Chen Yu's lips twitched. She had really found herself a good test paper; she didn't need to change it at all.
After class, Zhang Qingqing put the test papers away again, and the math teacher asked Shen Yan to help distribute them.
When Chen Yu saw her exam paper, she was somewhat at a loss.
It was covered in red crosses and insults, so it was obvious that it had been taken by someone she disliked.
She stared blankly at the exam paper, her mind racing, trying to figure out who would do such a thing.
Li Chang!
Chen Yu turned to look at Li Chang and found that Li Chang was also looking at her, chatting and laughing with the people next to him.
Seeing that Chen Yu's expression was off, Shen Yan nudged her arm. Before he could ask what was wrong, Chen Yu slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and walked straight towards Li Chang.
"Chen Yu, what are you doing? The teacher hasn't said get out of class is over yet."
But Chen Yu, enraged, couldn't care less about anything else; her mind was already racing, devising how to verbally abuse Li Chang.
"Li Chang, are you shameless? You did poorly on the test, and now you're writing these things on other people's test papers."
"Hey Chen Yu, don't make baseless accusations here. How do you know I was the one who changed your exam paper?"
"Yeah, stop yelling here, it's so noisy."
The people around Li Chang were speaking up for him, and the math teacher, who had been ignored, also got angry. She went up to Chen Yu and snatched the test paper from her hand.
The words "bitch" were blatantly written on the front of the exam paper.
Some correct answers were changed to incorrect, and a huge 0 was written on the grade.
"Li Chang, did you change it?"
"Teacher, it really wasn't me. Chen Yu is already annoying in class."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yang and Wang Yue couldn't sit still any longer and angrily walked up to Li Chang.
Wang Yue slammed her hand on the table. "Li Chang, you've been quiet for a few days, do you think you're all that again?"
"Don't talk to me, you're spitting in my face, it stinks."
Wang Yue stared at Li Chang in shock. Had this guy gone to study at the Poison Tongue Cult? Now he was even better at cursing than her.
"Quiet down! I'm still here!"
The math teacher yelled, taking Chen Yu's test paper to the podium, "Everyone back to your seats! Who graded Chen Yu's test?"
Not a single student in the audience spoke up, except for the girl on Li Chang's other side, who hesitated before raising her hand.
"Li Yawen, did you change it?"
The math teacher was shocked. This child was usually quiet and well-behaved; how could he have done something like this?
"No...it wasn't the teacher, I saw it, it was Li Chang who changed it..."
Li Chang turned to look at Li Yawen, "I haven't done anything to offend you, have I? Why are you slandering me!"
"You're the one who corrected Chen Yu's exam paper, right? It was Wu Hao's idea."
"What the heck, what's it to me?"
Wu Hao was completely dumbfounded. He had just said it casually, but who knew Li Chang would actually use it?
"Li Chang, Wu Hao, both of you come to my office."
“Teacher, I’m not going. Chen Yu’s test paper was copied. All her grades were copied.”
Li Chang's words instantly enraged Chen Yu once again.
"Are you lying through your teeth? Did you see me copy? Just say it like that, everyone knows who copied it!"
"Yes, just keep that in mind."
Li Chang shrugged indifferently. Anyway, he was no longer the class monitor, so he didn't need to care about any so-called image.
"a shame."
Chen Yu managed to squeeze out these four words after a long time. She was so angry that she couldn't even organize her thoughts. She sat in her seat frantically, taking deep breaths.
"Chen Yu, Li Chang, Wu Hao, come to my office! The rest of you, class dismissed!"
The math teacher walked ahead with Chen Yu's test paper in his hand. Chen Yu took a sip of water and prepared to go to the office. This time, she was determined to spit water on Li Chang so badly that he wouldn't be able to say a word.
