Thinking of this, Bu Yu felt that he had been careless. If not for him, Lang Man would have had more than enough time in that brief minute to finish her own test and hand it in.
“Alright, as long as you did it, that’s fine. Lang Man, you may sit down.”
The teacher did not make things difficult for her. Then his gaze swept across the other students still standing.
After a moment, his brows furrowed and his eyes fixed on a spot in the classroom.
Following the teacher’s gaze, Bu Yu saw Su Muwan slowly rise to her feet. However, she stood up extremely reluctantly, her movements stiff and dragged out.
Bu Yu raised an eyebrow. So the note she had just tossed to him was also to copy answers. Turns out she hadn’t finished either.
“She says she hates men who drag their feet, but look at how slowly she’s standing up,” Bu Yu muttered under his breath.
Seeing Su Muwan on her feet, he felt a faint sense of satisfaction.
He almost laughed out loud, but when he noticed the teacher staring at him seriously, he quickly put on an expression of deep concentration.
The teacher turned back to Su Muwan and said sternly, “Su Muwan, your grades have always been good. What happened this time?”
Su Muwan lowered her head and fidgeted with her fingers. “I… I didn’t know how to do it.” Her voice was barely audible.
“Didn’t know how? Then why didn’t you ask a classmate or a teacher in advance? Why wait until submission time to regret it?” The teacher’s tone grew harsher.
At that moment, Bu Yu suddenly raised his hand. “Actually, Teacher, I don’t think Student Su doesn’t know how to do it.”
“Oh? What do you mean? Or are you trying to cover for her?” The teacher looked at him suspiciously.
The entire class began whispering. The way they looked at Bu Yu was filled with disdain and contempt.
“Bu Yu is still Bu Yu. Like a dog that can’t change its ways. He even wants to cover for her over something like this.”
“Of course. He is Jinling’s Number One Simp.”
“Haha…”
…
“I knew it! Bu Yu still cares about me. How could he just stand by and watch me suffer?” On the surface, Su Muwan still looked pitiful, but inside she was already overjoyed. “He must feel sorry for me, that’s why he’s speaking up. I knew he wouldn’t ignore me. He still likes me!”
While the entire class was watching the scene unfold, Lang Man had already sat down. She calmly took out her textbooks and notebook from her bag and began studying, as if everything happening in the classroom had nothing to do with her. Visit NovelPing for the full chapter.
Bu Yu cleared his throat and said at an unhurried pace, “Teacher, think about it. With Student Su’s ability, how could she possibly not know how to do such simple questions? I’m guessing she did it on purpose.” As he spoke, he smiled at Su Muwan.
“What?”
Su Muwan froze. Not only her, but the entire class was stunned.
“Bu Yu, what are you talking about?” The teacher frowned.
“Isn’t it obvious? To put it simply, Student Su just didn’t want to do it. She was too lazy.”
Su Muwan stared at him in disbelief.
The entire class was equally stunned, as if they could not believe what they had just heard.
The classroom fell into dead silence, broken only by Bu Yu’s firm and unquestionable voice.
Su Muwan’s eyes widened. Her lips trembled slightly as she tried to speak but found herself unable to form words. Confusion, shock, and a hint of anger filled her gaze.
She could hardly believe it. The boy in front of her, who appeared to be speaking casually with a smile, was this really the same Bu Yu who had once been so attentive and caring toward her?
Her mind raced.
“In the past, Bu Yu was always gentle and considerate. No matter what trouble I encountered, he would quietly help me solve it. But now, he feels like a completely different person…”
“What made him change so drastically? Did I do something wrong? No… Even if I did, Bu Yu would always forgive me unconditionally. Then why is he like this today? Why?”
“Is it because I cheated on the mock exam this time, so he dislikes me now? But… judging by how he acted yesterday, that didn’t seem likely. Yesterday he even said he would help me take revenge…”
…
The class was equally dumbfounded. They simply could not understand what they were witnessing. Why would Bu Yu set Su Muwan up?
Yes, Bu Yu setting Su Muwan up was almost unheard of in everyone’s eyes.
After all, since the first day of school, Bu Yu had fallen for Su Muwan. The strange and exaggerated things he had done for her gradually made him well known throughout the school, earning him the nickname Jinling’s Number One Simp.
He had been deeply obsessed with her, completely unable to pull himself out.
At least, that was how it used to be.
“What is Bu Yu even saying?”
Hearing the whispers around her, Su Muwan’s face turned red. She glared at Bu Yu viciously, as if she wanted to tear him apart. “This is complete nonsense!”
She felt utterly humiliated. At that moment, she only wanted to find a hole in the ground and hide.
The teacher was clearly surprised as well. He looked at Bu Yu thoughtfully before speaking. “Bu Yu, don’t slander your classmates. You’re not her. How could you possibly know what she’s thinking?”
He sighed and turned to Su Muwan. “Student Su, sit down first. No matter what, if you don’t understand something in the future, solve it in time. Don’t wait until the last moment.”
It was obvious the teacher was giving her a way out.
“Yes, Teacher…”
Su Muwan responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito before slowly sitting down.
The teacher then dealt with several other students who had not done the test, including Xu Ang.
Unlike Su Muwan, Xu Ang did not make excuses. He honestly accepted several strikes of the ruler.
When he sat down, he could not help complaining to Bu Yu, “Brother Yu, when did you even do the test? You didn’t remind me.”
Bu Yu rolled his eyes at him. “As if you would’ve done it even if I reminded you.”
“Hehe.” Xu Ang scratched his slightly swollen hand.
After finishing with the students who had not completed the homework, the teacher began flipping through the test papers that had been submitted.
At first, he only intended to skim through them to see if anyone had handed in a blank paper. But when he reached one particular test, he paused.
His expression turned serious. He adjusted his glasses and frowned more deeply the longer he examined it.
Then he looked up at Bu Yu.
“Bu Yu, did you write this test?”
