He Jing asked nonchalantly, “You cheated?”

Cheng Yi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and instantly got angry. She glared at her fiercely and said, “You’re the one who cheated.” Then, she walked past her into the classroom.

This reaction…There was no doubt that she was guilty…

He Jing did not believe that Cheng Yi could be enlightened in one day. Because in the original novel, after being tutored by Yan Hanxi and a famous teacher for half a year. Since she was so confident that she could do well in physics. The only possibility was that she cheated. She couldn’t fathom what method Cheng Yi had used to cheat, which managed to deceive both the teachers and the advanced invigilation technology of Yin High School.

Three days later, the monthly examination papers were marked and the scores of each subject were announced by the respective teachers.

In the first class, the English teacher walked in with the test papers and said happily, “Our class has made great progress in this exam, especially He Jing. He Jing scored 150 points in English, and Yan Hanxi scored 149 points in second place. There’s a difference of 10 points between him and our third-ranked student, Shen Qiuyu, who got 139 points. Let’s congratulate these three students.”

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the entire class was in an uproar.

“Oh my god, she actually got full marks for English?”

“What kind of monster was this?”

Everyone looked at He Jing in disbelief. If Yan Hanxi’s long-standing first place in grades was called an “unbeatable miracle”, then this miracle had already been broken, even if it was just this one subject!

A hint of interest appeared in the eyes of the person whose miracle had been broken. He wasn’t unhappy at all. Instead, he smiled happily.

He Jing was very calm. She took a look at her paper and found that 0.5 marks had been deducted from her essay. Her actual score should be 149.5, which was rounded up to full marks. It was only 0.5 marks higher than Yan Hanxi’s actual score of 149. It could be said that it was very close.

“Next, Wu Yu has 120 points…Cheng Yi, 45 points…”

As Cheng Yi went to the stage to collect her paper, she looked pale and almost about to collapse. She felt a sharp pain in her heat, nails digging deep into her palm as she endured the scornful gazes around her.

In the second class, the Chemistry teacher came in with the test papers. He had the same expression as the English teacher from the previous class. The students couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

Then, they heard a familiar tone and a familiar line, “Our classmate He Jing has made great progress. Last time, she fell behind in chemistry, but this time, she got first place. Well done. Come, let’s start handing out the papers. He Jing, 96 points, Yan Hanxi, 96 points. Shen Qiuyu, 94 points…Cheng Yi, 9 points.”

The students were speechless.

“First place, first place again.”

“Although they were tied for first place, still…”

“Hello, what’s the matter?”

“Do you have any consideration for other examinees?”

The impact of this perfect score was too strong, no one even noticed Cheng Yi, who only scored a single digit.

When it was the third class, the Biology teacher walked in with the test paper. This time, He Jing was finally not in first place, but she secured second place with a one-point difference. Shen Qiuyu was three points lower than her.

They were already numb to the language and math classes that followed. Either He Jing or Yan Hanxi came in first. The two study gods were competing with each other and left a significant gap with the rest of the students, who could only look up to them.

In the final Physics class in the afternoon, Cheng Yi, with a gloomy face, finally cheered up, and her beautiful eyes lit up slightly… Here it comes!

Before the Physics teacher could speak, a student teased, “Teacher, you don’t need to build suspense. Just tell us directly. Is the first place He Jing or Yan Hanxi? Let us know who the final first place is!”

The Physics teacher shook his head and smiled, “Neither. The first place in Physics this time is the new transfer student, Cheng Yi. Congratulations, Cheng Yi, for achieving a perfect score of 100 points for first place in Physics in the school. You really didn’t disappoint the teacher.”
