Gu Shiye answered him absentmindedly, and he reached out and patted the person who was sleeping on his stomach.

"Su Yangxia, get up, I want to talk to you."

The person in front frowned and turned to look at him, "What are you doing? Class is about to start, let me take a nap...

"I think the teacher will talk to you, so be prepared," Gu Shiye said worriedly...

The person in front sat up straighter and looked more alert. "What are you talking about?"

Gu Shiye was about to speak when there was a knock on the door and the classroom fell silent.

"Su Yangxia, Meng Zhao, the two of you come with me to the office. The other students can study on their own first..."

The head teacher said this expressionlessly and left with the two students who had made great progress.

"Go ahead," the head teacher said, sitting in the office with his legs crossed, looking at the two people in front of him.

Su Yangxia looked at the person sitting there as if she didn't react.

"What, teacher?"

The head teacher glanced at Su Yangxia, who looked unhappy, and turned to Meng Zhao, who was confused.

"Tell me about your monthly exam results."

"Ah? Oh... Teacher!" Meng Zhao laughed. "We will continue to work hard and strive to do better next time..."

Su Yangxia gave him a cold look. He had already understood what was going on from the expression on the head teacher's face. He also remembered what Gu Shiye had just said to him.

"Teacher, do you suspect we are cheating?

The head teacher looked at him with a complicated expression.

"So, did you cheat?

Meng Zhao suddenly understood and excitedly explained loudly, "No! ...Teacher, we didn't cheat!

The head teacher didn't look at him, but stared at Su Yangxia, with his hands on his chest and no expression on his face.

"How do you prove that you didn't cheat?" It was Meng Zhao who answered, but he was looking at Su Yangxia.

The person being stared at also stared back at the head teacher who was looking at him with a questioning expression.

"I don't have any evidence. You can ask the invigilator or check the surveillance footage, but we didn't cheat."

Su Yangxia really didn't want to drag Gu Shiye into this matter.

“We didn’t cheat anyway.”

He knew there was no surveillance in the classroom... They might really have no way to prove their innocence.

"If you don't want to tell me, the school will consider letting you retake the exam." The head teacher's voice became heavier.

Meng Zhao was no longer speaking. He stood there in a daze, his fingers twirling through his school uniform pants, a look of "I'm more wronged than Dou E" on his face...

Su Yangxia lowered her eyes slightly and her gaze fell on the family photo on the head teacher's desk. Then she came back to her senses and looked at her

"Teacher, if your child does very well on a test at school, but his teacher doesn't believe him and asks him to retake it, what would you do? Would you choose to believe that he really put in a lot of effort, or would you ask him to retake the test in front of everyone in the school? If he does well, he can clear his name, but if he doesn't do well, he will be publicly accused of cheating.

The head teacher looked back at the photo of his eight or nine-year-old son, frowning tightly, and heard the person standing in front of him continue to speak.

"If he didn't cheat, retaking the exam would be a huge psychological blow to him. He would face distrust from his teachers, the looks from his classmates, and the doubts from his parents. If he takes the exam with these emotions, are you sure he won't perform poorly? Poor performance is inevitable. We are only eighteen or nineteen years old. If this incident dampens his enthusiasm for learning and his self-esteem, causing irreparable psychological damage, can you take responsibility for our future?"

Su Yangxia's words were firm and reasonable, and they struck directly at the heart of the person interrogating her. An indescribable expression appeared on the head teacher's face. She held her forehead and sighed softly, "Okay, you guys go out first. I will communicate with the school leaders."

"Thank you, we'll go out first." Su Yangxia bowed slightly and pulled Meng Zhao back to the classroom.

When Gu Shiye looked at the time, the two of them just walked to the door and walked towards the seats. One of them sat in the seat with an expressionless face, and the other hunched his back dejectedly and took a deep breath.

"Are you okay?" he asked

Meng Zhao looked at him with a pen in hand. "Oh...it's okay. I was so scared. The teacher actually suspected us of cheating and even said we had to retake the exam."

Gu Shiye frowned and clenched his fists. "Retake the exam?"

Su Yangxia turned around and looked at him when she heard the voice, and looked at him without any emotion on her face. "It's okay, I won't retake the exam."

Gu Shiye nodded, not understanding why. "Well, I'm glad you're okay."

Rumors have been going around school these days that Su Yangxia from Class 3 of Senior improved by several hundred places on the exams, and was repeatedly called in for talks by the homeroom teacher and dean for suspected cheating. She seems to be in a bad mood and has a sullen face every day. Could the rumors be true?

They also said he had a very powerful uncle, so despite his bad temper and bad personality, no one bothered him during his three years at school. Freshmen would avoid him. I heard that a few days ago, a junior high school girl was scared to tears by him when he glanced at her in the stairwell. The rumors are getting more and more outrageous...
