With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Anzhen is now considered a top student by her classmates.

Pei Chen felt a pang of gloom as he saw his classmates crowding around Azhen with envious looks, and even some girls clinging to her arms, asking her why she was so amazing.

He stared intently at the class rankings, his fists clenched.

Anzhen's grades remained the same in this final exam, but despite his hard work, they actually declined.

His score wasn't as high as the midterm exam, but it was still 711. Even though the final exam was more formal and the questions were more difficult, and most of his classmates didn't score as high as they did on the midterm exam, he still couldn't accept the result.

What he found even more unacceptable was that he was no longer second in his grade.

He wasn't even second in the class.

He is currently ranked third in his class and fifth in his grade.

The second-highest scorer in the class was Jian Mo. It seemed that Jian Mo spent more time studying than An Zhen, and he liked to ask An Zhen questions all the time.

However, it still takes less time than him.

Why is this happening?

He can't compare to An Zhen, which is understandable; the other party is indeed formidable.

But what is Jian Mo compared to him? When he entered this class, his grades weren't even in the top ten.

There's a parent-teacher meeting coming up, and the thought of how much his mother values ​​grades makes Pei Chen's scalp tingle.

Sure enough, Wei Lilan's expression darkened when she saw Pei Chen's ranking drop. She knew that her son had entered the school with the same score as a girl, but the girl's final exam score was only one point away from a perfect score, while her son only got 711. She was very dissatisfied.

She finds it hard to accept that her ranking has dropped so much.

Unlike An Shuohai, who sat happily in Azhen's seat, Wei Lilan had a gloomy face.

The homeroom teacher asked An Shuohai, the parent of the top-scoring student, to say a few words about how he usually teaches his child.

An Shuohai smiled and said, "I only graduated from junior high school. What can I teach a child? She has to learn everything on her own."

In terms of grades, he, as the father, really couldn't help; it was all thanks to his daughter's intelligence.

The parents below couldn't help but feel envious, but on the surface they still offered their congratulations.

Wei Lilan then realized that the impressive girl was actually her son's classmate.

After the parent-teacher meeting ended, Pei Chen came to her side. Wei Lilan slapped Pei Chen across the face almost without hesitation, leaving a red handprint on his cheek, showing how hard she hit him.

In front of Pei Chen's classmates, she didn't even consider Pei Chen's feelings or face.

An Shuohai, who was happily talking with Azhen and Jianmo, was stunned. Although the dream made him very wary of Pei Chen, and even hated the other party's behavior in the dream.

But he didn't understand why Wei Lilan did this.

Pei Chen wasn't really going astray; his grades weren't bad, they were even quite good. She was dissatisfied, so she just hit Pei Chen in front of his classmates. Where did that leave his face?
"Tell me, why have your grades dropped so much? Have you got other ideas? What are you thinking? Do you know how hard it is for me to raise you and support your education all by myself, and this is how you repay me?" Pei Chen was the one who was beaten, but Wei Lilan was the one crying her heart out here. Many parents and students felt like they were in a dream, and they also vaguely felt a sense of suffocation. They couldn't help but look at Pei Chen with a bit of sympathy.

But no one expected that when Wei Lilan saw Pei Chen hanging his head and not saying a word, she was so angry that she slapped him on the other cheek. Instantly, both cheeks were covered with red handprints, which was quite a pitiful sight.

Many parents couldn't stand it and tried to dissuade him.

The homeroom teacher was alarmed and rushed back to persuade them.

The more they tried to persuade her, the more heartbroken Wei Lilan became, as if Pei Chen had truly committed some unforgivable mistake. Throughout, Pei Chen kept his head down and remained silent, seemingly accustomed to it all, even appearing somewhat numb.

Pei Chen is indeed someone to be pitied.

An Shuohai's feelings were very complicated because of that dream.

The combination of reality and dream made him suspect that it wasn't a dream at all, but perhaps something that would happen, and he had been warned in advance.

It's also possible that something like this happened before, the world reset, and that's when he received the warning.

He vaguely felt it was the latter, which made him feel even heavier.

Pei Chen's escapist mentality in the dream is actually understandable.

But when it was his daughter who was hurt, he couldn't let it go.

After walking out of the school gate, An Shuohai breathed a sigh of relief and saw Azhen, Jianmo and the others: "This semester is finally over. It's already noon. Uncle will treat you to lunch. What would you like to eat?"

Everyone started talking at once, quickly putting aside what had happened before.

Pei Chen, who went home with Wei Lilan, did not have it so easy. Although he was no longer beaten, Wei Lilan searched through his room as soon as they got home, as if she wanted to find something that would affect his grades.

Pei Chen stood at the door with a blank expression, just watching quietly without stopping anything; perhaps he had long been used to it.

No one knows how long Wei Lilan searched, but she didn't find anything suspicious.

She searched very carefully, even flipping through the books quickly, until she opened a notebook. She was just flipping through it quickly when suddenly her eyes were drawn to a certain page, which seemed to be covered with someone's name.

Turning back to that page, Wei Lilan finally saw clearly what the densely packed name on that page was—An Zi.

She certainly recognized the name Anzhen.

Isn't she the girl who gets first place in the class and also first in the grade?

The fact that Chenchen wrote so many names on her notebook meant it couldn't have been a simple matter, and she quickly realized it was related to puppy love during adolescence.

"So this is why your grades dropped?" Wei Lilan shoved the notebook in front of Pei Chen's face. "You've been seduced by this An Zhen and can't concentrate on your studies anymore?"

Yes, even if An Zhen seems to have nothing to do with Pei Chen, in Wei Lilan's eyes, she must have done something to seduce him to have such a big impact on her son.

Pei Chen paused for a moment, then looked at the name on the notebook and understood, but remained silent, not intending to explain anything.

When Anzhen first started school, he did find her to be a very special female classmate who attracted him.

But when he thought of Anzhen again, he realized that he had to surpass her and leave her far behind in terms of grades.

Seeing how easily the other person could achieve such good results while studying, he felt resentful and couldn't help but write "Anzi" again and again in his notebook.

Unexpectedly, his mother misunderstood.

At this moment, his silence was no longer out of fear that talking back would embolden the other party.

Instead, he harbored a secret expectation. He knew his mother's personality all too well; once she felt that Anzhen was affecting his grades, she would definitely go and cause trouble for her.

He took a deep breath and for the first time thought it was good that his mother was causing trouble for his classmates.

My thoughts drifted back to a day in junior high school. (End of Chapter)
