As soon as Zhao Yun stepped into the classroom, several of his good friends surrounded him, each of them acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Zhao Yun thought about all the bad things he had done recently, and his CPU almost burned out. "... Did Lao Xu know about my premature love affair?"

"No, you forgot, the midterm exam results are out today!"

Zhao Yun was stunned. "Fuck, I'm not the last one, am I?!"

As he spoke, he quickly pushed aside the people on the podium and looked at the last row of the ranking list. He felt relieved when he found that it was not his name.

If he really got the last place in the exam, Mr. Zhao would skin him alive.

"Brother Yun, it's not you, it's Pei Ziheng. He got second place in the exam this time!"

"Bullshit, when has Ziheng ever ranked second in the exam? If your eyes are not good, you can donate them."

Zhao Yun cursed without thinking and looked at the first row of the ranking list.

Jian Xun? !

Zhao Yun raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then looked again and saw that Jian Xun was still the first place.

Further down was the second place, with a familiar name written on it - Pei Ziheng.

"Fuck, this ranking must be wrong!"

A brother pointed to the score behind the ranking and said, "That's right, Jian Xun scored 735 this time, 5 points higher than Pei Ziheng."

Zhao Yun took a closer look and it was indeed true! But he still did not accept this result. In his mind, Pei Ziheng was the most powerful person in the universe. How could he be stepped down by Jian Xun, the eternal runner-up?

"Damn it, there must be something fishy going on here! Jian Xun must have bribed the examiner to deliberately frame you and give you a low score!"

"I'll go to the school right now and ask them to recheck the results! I don't believe that Jian can beat you in the exam."

Zhao Yun had a bad temper and acted without hesitation. He was about to go to the principal's office angrily, but was stopped by several of his brothers.

"Brother Yun, don't be impulsive."

"Ziheng, please say something."

Under everyone's gaze, Pei Ziheng said calmly: "My grades are fine."

This indirectly explains that he did lose to Jian Xun.

But Zhao Yun had a strange train of thought, "You are fine, but Jian Xun has a problem! How could you possibly be second?"

Pei Ziheng didn't know whether to be moved or speechless for a moment.

"Brother Yun, calm down. Didn't Ziheng say that there was nothing wrong with his grades? He might have been careless this time and that's why he lost to Jian Xun. Everyone makes mistakes, so it's nothing."

"Yeah, it's just a midterm exam. I'll beat you back at the end of the term!"

At this point, Zhao Yun had to accept the reality that Pei Ziheng had lost to Jian Xun.

Although he was very depressed, he comforted Pei Ziheng, "It's okay. You have been the number one for so long. Just let him win for once. We will take it back next time."

Pei Ziheng remained silent.

When I returned to the classroom, all my classmates looked at me with either strangeness or sympathy.

Those who have been on the altar for a long time will fall in one day.

Especially since the person who pulled him down from the altar was right in the class and was admiring his reaction at that moment, it made people feel uncomfortable and embarrassed just thinking about it.

"Pei Ziheng, the class teacher is looking for you."

Pei Ziheng ignored the sympathy in the class monitor's eyes and turned to leave the classroom.

As soon as he left, the classroom suddenly became noisy, and the topic of conversation was all about the midterm exam rankings.

"I felt like he was about to cry, but he was holding it back."

"Isn't it normal for children to cry when they encounter setbacks?"

This caused a burst of laughter.

Some people also flattered Jian Xun, "God Jian, you are awesome. You finally got the throne that belongs to you. How do you feel?"

Jian Xun pushed his glasses and said, "I don't have any feelings about it. This is just an inevitable result."

His calm yet arrogant tone caused a group of young men to exclaim how awesome he was.

The head teacher looked for Pei Ziheng just to show concern and comfort him.

"Pei Ziheng, I won!"

"so what?"

Not seeing any shame or anger on Pei Ziheng's face, Jian Xun felt as unwilling and depressed as if he had punched cotton.

In order to defeat Pei Ziheng, he worked hard every day and never relaxed for a moment. How could Pei Ziheng lose so calmly?

"This is just the beginning. Next time, and the next time, I will surpass you!"

Pei Ziheng looked at him, "How do you feel now?"

Of course I feel proud and excited, and it feels like I have the whole world under my feet.

But Jian Xun naturally would not express this complacent mood out loud, as it would make him seem impetuous and impatient.

Just as he was thinking about how to answer in a way that would appear low-key and classy, ​​Pei Ziheng lost his patience and walked away.

Jian Xun stared at his back, his eyes behind the lenses filled with a fierce fighting spirit.

…

Come home from school.

Pei Tang was sitting on the sofa, holding a bag of steamed buns and biscuits in her hand, eating with relish while watching cartoons on TV. When she saw him come back, she called him "brother" sweetly.

Pei Ziheng responded while putting down his schoolbag, rubbed her head, and then looked towards the kitchen where the fragrance was coming from.

Through the open kitchen door, you can see Shen Mingzhu and Cui Lianying busy preparing dinner.

He walked over.

"Mom, aunt."

Hearing his shout, Shen Mingzhu and Cui Lianying turned their heads to look.

Shen Mingzhu greeted him gently, "You're back. We have your favorite sweet and sour pork for dinner. There are washed fruits on the coffee table. If you're hungry, eat something to fill your stomach."

"Um."

After silently watching Shen Mingzhu frying meat slices for a while, Pei Ziheng turned back to the living room and sat next to his sister to watch cartoons together.

"Brother, do you want to eat?"

Seeing the small steamed buns and biscuits handed over, Pei Ziheng said lovingly: "Don't eat too much, we will have dinner soon."

"After eating this, I can also eat a bowl of rice. I have an amazing appetite now."

Pei Ziheng was amused and his lips curled slightly, "You eat so much, aren't you afraid of growing into a piglet?"

Pei Tang gave him a cute eye roll, "Can you wait until I finish eating before you say such disgusting things?"

Pei Ziheng burst out laughing.

In the kitchen, Shen Mingzhu was looking at the pot while secretly paying attention to her son in the living room.

Seeing my son and daughter laughing and joking, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

In the morning, she received a call from her class teacher, saying that her son's midterm exam results were lower than expected and asked her to provide psychological counseling.

Although she didn't think that a score of 730 required psychological counseling, she still took it to heart when the head teacher brought it up. She left work early and cooked her son's favorite dishes herself.

After dinner, Shen Mingzhu took Fugui and the two children to a nearby park for a walk.

After entering the park, Pei Tang and Fugui started playing frisbee.

Shen Mingzhu took Pei Ziheng to find a bench, and they chatted while watching her daughter play with the German Shepherd.

"Why are you so depressed? Do you feel that your midterm exam results are not satisfactory?"

"I got second place this time." Pei Ziheng looked at her.

"Yes, I know. Your head teacher called me this morning."

Shen Mingzhu was a little distressed. "It's just a midterm exam. I don't know why he is so nervous. Being second in the school is great, isn't it?"

She complained, but in fact she wanted to tell her son in this way that it was just a trivial matter and he shouldn't take it too seriously.

"Mom, did I disappoint you?" (End of this chapter)
