Chapter 36
In the blink of an eye, it was Monday, and the monthly exam was imminent.
He Jing was assigned to take the exam in her own class, and Yan Hanxi was also in the same class.
Moreover, to her annoyance, either by coincidence or divine intervention, Yan Hanxi’s seat was right next to hers, and Shen Qiuyu was behind her.
With a wolf on the right and a tiger at the back, He Jing felt mentally exhausted, but struggling student A ran to her from the back of the classroom excitedly. “Sister Jing, we’re in the same class for the exam. As long as I can get 19th place this time, I can sit next to you in the future.”
He Jing was dumbfounded.
Struggling student A explained, “I’ve asked the teacher. The seating arrangement is vertical, not horizontal. There are nine seats in a row, which means there are 18 people. If I get 19th place, I’ll just sit next to you.”
He Jing asked, “Did the teacher tell you if the first place would sit by the wall or the aisle?”
Struggling student A chuckled and said, “By the wall.” Then he scratched his head again. “However, isn’t Brother Xi also taking the exam? If Brother Xi takes the exam, Sister Jing can only get second place.”
He Jing was speechless.
She thought, “Thank you very much.”
When Shen Qiuyu heard this, she sneered as she entered the classroom, “Her? She wants to get second place too?”
Struggling student A didn’t dare to argue with her for fear of being beaten up. 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 upside down.”
He Jing’s red lips curled up and she said in amusement, “But I want to get first place.”
Shen Qiuyu burst into laughter, “You think you can surpass Brother Xi? Dream on!”
Usually, He Jing’s grades were good, ranking around third or fourth. But she couldn’t consistently secure second place.
He Jing didn’t want to argue with her at first. It was normal for girls at this age to be blinded by love and fall for their sweetheart. However, she felt that it was necessary to teach her a lesson. That was, women should never say no!
“Then what if I get first place?”
“I won’t snatch Yan Hanxi from you again.”
“Alright then.” Although she was not interested in pursuing Yan Hanxi, she accepted the challenge. He Jing nodded readily, “Remember what you said.”
Shen Qiuyu huffed, turned around, and returned to her seat. She was going to revise before the exam and vowed to teach He Jing a lesson.
When the bell rang, Yan Hanxi arrived late. The long-legged young man walked into the classroom leisurely. He wore an ordinary school uniform that made him look like a high-end designer.
When he passed by He Jing, he smiled at her and sat down. Soon, the invigilator walked into the examination hall.
…
After the exam, He Jing felt a bit exhausted. After all, it had been a long time since she had taken such a long written exam. After taking so many exams in a row, she still felt a little tired and her fingertips hurt a little.
Struggling student A hurriedly ran over to check the questions with her, “Sister Jing, what did you choose for the third multiple-choice question in math?”
“A.”
“What about the seventh one?”
“D.”
Struggling student A was relieved and jumped up in joy. “Right, everything is right. Sister Jing, it’s all thanks to the notebook you sold me. I’m confident this time. I’m sure I can move up by two places.”
He Jing smiled, “Is that so? Congratulations then,”
Struggling student A said, “Sister Jing, remember to sell me your notes if you have them. The questions in your notes are really amazing. A few of them were exactly what came up in the exam.”
He Jing couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, what’s your name?”
Struggling student A, who was chattering non-stop, immediately revealed an expression as if he had been struck by lightning. His mouth was wide open, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. “Ah… Ah… My name is Wu Yu.”
After he reacted, he protested unhappily, “Sister Jing, you’re so mean. We’re in the same class, but you don’t even know my name!”
He Jing said apologetically, “I’m sorry.” From the corner of her eye, she inadvertently saw Cheng Yi coming out of the classroom next door.
She looked like she had lost her soul. It was only when she looked up and saw He Jing that she regained her spirits. She pretended to be calm and walked up to He Jing. She smiled and said, “I might have done well in Physics this time.”
