The next day.
The math teacher walked into the classroom with a cheerful expression.
His gaze lingered on Cheng Ye for a few extra seconds.
“The results of last night’s quiz are out! Everyone performed quite well! Especially since someone in our class achieved a full score!”
As soon as his words fell, the students immediately began whispering excitedly among themselves.
“Young Master Fenghao, you’re amazing! You actually got full marks!”
“Damn! Full marks! I’m so jealous! When will I ever get a perfect score?”
“Hahaha, Class Monitor Chu, your future fiancé is really outstanding!”
The class burst into commotion, all assuming by default that the student with full marks was Cheng Fenghao!
After all, Cheng Fenghao’s usual performance was obvious to everyone. Aside from him, it was impossible for anyone else to get full marks!
Cheng Fenghao looked pleased with himself. There had been a five-point multiple-choice question last night that he wasn’t entirely sure about. It seemed his luck had been good—he guessed it correctly!
Hearing the discussions around her, Chu Xiyan couldn’t help but look at Cheng Fenghao with admiration.
She admired strength by nature and was drawn to intelligence. Deep down, she preferred boys whose academic performance surpassed hers.
Cheng Fenghao perfectly matched her ideal.
The math teacher naturally heard the students’ chatter and cast a complicated glance at Cheng Ye.
“Quiet down, everyone. I will now announce the test results.”
“Jiang Mian, 0 points, last in the class.”
Cheng Ye couldn’t help but turn his head. The little girl walked up to collect her blank math paper, her face full of grievance.
Last place?!
Chen Yang was stunned. Shouldn’t Cheng Ye have been last?!
Cheng Ye often failed his math exams…
The classmates were more tolerant toward a new student, especially one as sweet and beautiful as Jiang Mian.
“Jiang Mian, it’s okay! You just transferred here, it’s normal if you haven’t adjusted to the pace yet!”
“Yeah, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me! I’ll explain everything I know!”
“Maybe Jiang Mian wasn’t feeling well. Yesterday Cheng Ye even gave her cold medicine.”
The male students suddenly realized. So she had a cold! This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Chen Yang secretly guessed that Cheng Ye must be second to last!
He still remembered the intense hatred from yesterday when Cheng Ye had beaten him until his head bled.
Before the math teacher could speak, he sneered mockingly, “Hahaha, Cheng Ye sure has guts. Where does he get the confidence to say he’d be first in the class?”
“If he really gets first place, I’ll eat SHI!”
The class erupted into laughter.
“Yahua High School is a prestigious school with a long history. Trash like Cheng Ye is simply a disgrace to Yahua!”
“Making bets just to get attention—does he even have a brain?”
“Teacher, hurry up and announce Cheng Ye’s score! Otherwise, he won’t admit defeat until he sees the coffin!”
Chen Yang looked smug, already imagining Cheng Ye’s face turning pale with embarrassment.
The math teacher suppressed his discomfort. Mocking a classmate right in front of him—what was the difference between this and bullying?
He hated such behavior. Students should get along, not trample on each other.
His expression darkened. “Chen Yang, how many points do you think you scored?”
Chen Yang replied confidently, “Definitely above 120!”
His math scores had never dropped below 120!
The math teacher’s tone turned stern. He tapped the desk with his finger, then pulled out a paper and said coldly, “Chen Yang, 87 points. You failed. Second to last in the class. Reflect on yourself.”
Chen Yang was dumbfounded. What? Only… 87?!
It felt like a thunderbolt had struck him. The score was ridiculously low!
He stood there in a daze, then walked up mechanically to take his paper. Looking through it, he realized he had made mistakes in several easy major questions due to carelessness.
Just moments ago, he had been mocking Cheng Ye openly and secretly. In the end, the clown turned out to be himself…
His face flushed red, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into!
Cheng Ye’s light voice sounded out—not loud, yet clear enough for everyone in the classroom to hear. “Chen Yang, remember to eat SHI.”
“Cheng Ye, what are you so proud of? Do you really think you can get first place?!” Chen Yang snapped in frustration, though he restrained himself in class.
The math teacher shook his head and continued reading out names and scores.
Two minutes later, he cleared his throat. “Chu Xiyan, 142 points, third place in the class.”
Chu Xiyan froze. Third? She only ranked third?
She was not satisfied with this result at all.
The teacher announced scores from lowest to highest.
After calling out so many names, Cheng Ye’s name still hadn’t been mentioned…
Chu Xiyan’s pupils suddenly widened. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
The previously noisy classroom, filled with students ready to mock Cheng Ye, fell completely silent.
In the quiet room, even the sound of a pin dropping could be clearly heard.
Cheng Ye had bet that he would take first place. As long as he wasn’t first, no matter how much he improved, he would lose!
Thus, everyone was fully prepared to watch the show.
However, after the teacher had called out most of the class, and just finished announcing the class monitor’s result, only Cheng Ye and Cheng Fenghao remained.
Cheng Fenghao’s face suddenly turned pale. Beneath the desk, his hands were already damp with cold sweat.
Impossible. He would always be first. No one could shake his position at the top.
This small math quiz—he had to be first without a doubt!
The math teacher looked at Cheng Fenghao and calmly announced, “Cheng Fenghao, 145 points, second place in the class. You only got one multiple-choice question wrong. Well done. Keep it up.”
The moment the result was announced, the class exploded into chaos!
“No way? Young Master Fenghao is second?”
“Teacher said someone got full marks. Right now, only Cheng Ye hasn’t been called. Did Cheng Ye get full marks?! Are you kidding me?!”
The students were in complete disbelief. With Cheng Ye’s usual bottom-ranking performance, how could he possibly get full marks?
Cheng Fenghao stood frozen. Suddenly, he shot to his feet and questioned, “Teacher, did you read the score wrong?”
The math teacher replied, “No mistake. You did score 145.”
Then he looked toward Cheng Ye. “Cheng Ye, among all the students, you showed the greatest improvement in math. You scored a perfect 150!”
“I don’t believe it—full marks?! Are you joking?!”
“There’s no way Cheng Ye could get full marks!”
“Damn, this is hilarious. He might not have the ability to solve questions, but cheating? That he can do!”
No one could accept the fact that Cheng Ye had taken first place.
Cheng Ye, who was always last in class and ranked beyond 1,000 in the entire school, had actually taken first place in the class?!
This was beyond ridiculous!
“Cheng Ye, you must have gotten hold of the answer sheet and copied everything!”
“So desperate to win that you’d resort to anything! Shameless!”
“Young Master Fenghao scored 145. How could Cheng Ye possibly score higher? He definitely cheated!”
