The class teacher also specially reminded, “Yan Hanxi, I hope you won’t be absent for the upcoming monthly exam.”

A pleasant and smiling voice came from behind, “Sure.”

He Jing suddenly felt a burning sensation on her back, as if there was a strong gaze that wanted to penetrate her.

He Jing was speechless.

Forcefully making her cannon fodder, the author was really good at writing scripts.

After school, Shen Qiuyu rushed over almost like flying and declared war on He Jing, “Just you wait, I will definitely rank second in the whole class and sit next to Brother Xi!”

He Jing thought to herself, “Please, put more effort into it. I don’t want to be the first or second place.”

She had to stay far away from Yan Han as possible.

Meanwhile, she heard someone approach Cheng Yi and flatteringly said, “Cheng Yi, you’re really a Physics expert? Then, if we end up sitting together after the monthly exam, can you lend me your copy?”

Cheng Yi tried her best to maintain a smile and asked in an almost innocent tone, “Does the monthly exam include Physics?”

“Of course. The monthly test covers all subjects, and the entire grade is tested at the same time. Everyone’s seat is randomly arranged, and we might be assigned to other classes.”

Cheng Yi’s expression visibly cracked, and her mind was a little dazed.

This slap in the face came too quickly!

She had originally wanted to go back and ask the Cheng family to find the best teacher to tutor her. As long as she worked hard, she would definitely be able to improve rapidly. At that time, the fake number one could also become the real number one. She did not expect it to appear so soon!

However, she still forced a smile and pretended to be generous. “If we can be together, I will help you.”

The student who asked for help was overjoyed and told the good news to others.

He Jing withdrew her gaze from her and looked at Shen Qiuyu again, “You’ve found the wrong opponent. She’s your strongest rival.”

Even if it was picking the best among the worst, the title of first place in the school still carried a lot of weight.

Shen Qiuyu turned around and was immediately distracted. “I almost forgot about her. She tried to pester Brother Xi on the second day of school. I must confront her.”

As she spoke, she walked towards Cheng Yi.

He Jing finally had some peace and quiet. Only then did she pack her bag in an orderly manner. After checking her stationery, she put it in. However, suddenly, a ruler was pressed down on the table.

The fingers on the ruler were long and slender. He Jing’s gaze followed the fingers and moved up to a handsome face. Yan Hanxi was smiling at her and said unhurriedly, “Three Good Student, can I send you home?”

He Jing responded coldly, “No.”

Since he had heard her say she only liked his character, there was no need to pretend to be polite now. She might as well not like him and make him unable to stand the cold shoulder.

Yan Hanxi unexpectedly said, “You won’t intentionally underperform on this exam, right?”

He Jing was speechless.

Very good, he got it right with one sentence.

He Jing’s thoughts had been poked and she could not answer him, so she chose to avoid him and said extremely coldly, “It seems like my performance in the exam has nothing to do with you.”

Yan Hanxi’s thin lips curled up slightly, “Indeed. But you know that our Yin High School has always valued strength. The results of every monthly examination will be included in the assessment of various rewards, such as the merit scholarship and other financial aid programs that have been in vain for many years…”

He Jing’s face darkened.

Yan Hanxi blinked innocently and said cunningly, “Good luck, He Jing. I have high hopes for you.”

He Jing’s eyes turned sharp and glared at him with a murderous look.

She thought, “Alright then, don’t regret it!”
