After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Twenty: First in the Class!

"Anyone who gets involved with Huo Yubai will not have a good ending. Shen Yan, aren't you afraid he will implicate you?" Gu Heng warned coldly.

“He’s my friend,” I emphasized, “but you’re a stranger.”

“Shen Yan, you’re not a child anymore. It’s best not to say things out of spite.” Gu Hengjun’s face was serious. “I’m doing this for your own good. I admit that I was prejudiced against you at first because of Liu Shengyan and your father’s threats against me, but now I realize that I really like you, so I’m doing this for your own good.”

"Gu Heng, I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical at such a young age?" I sneered.

I thought Gu Heng only became hypocritical after navigating the business world for a long time, but I never expected him to have always been like this.

"Believe it or not." Gu Heng didn't want to argue with me. "Shen Yan, remove me from the blacklist."

"Keep dreaming!" I couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation and turned to leave.

Gu Heng didn't stop me like before. He stood behind me and said coldly, "Shen Yan, I will not give up on you."

Whatever!

I left without looking back.

arrive home.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that Huo Yubai was an illegitimate child, her feelings were filled with mixed emotions.

If Huo Yubai is an illegitimate child, then is Huo Yushen also an illegitimate child?

Those two brothers are really having a tough time, living in danger every day.

However, I've only ever seen Huo Yubai being followed, but I've never seen Huo Yushen encounter any trouble.

Or perhaps Huo Yushen was also followed, and I just didn't know it?

-

The next day, the sky was clear.

Sitting in the classroom, I was a little excited.

Mu Xi was even more excited than me: "The results will be out soon!"

I was both amused and exasperated: "Calm down."

"I can't stay calm," Mu Xi whispered. "Wang Jing hasn't left yet. We need to show her what we're made of!"

I smiled.

Actually, it's not just for Wang Jing to know, I want everyone to know!

Soon, the new homeroom teacher walked up to the podium.

She glanced at us below the podium, then pushed up her glasses. "The exam results are out. I'll post them here for you to see. I won't read them aloud."

After she finished posting the report cards, everyone rushed over.

I heard someone say that.

"Quick, check where Shen Yan ranked last again!"

Mu Xi was very angry.

The students surrounding the report card were looking at it backwards.

"They're already among the bottom few, how come Shen Yan's name isn't on the list yet?"

"Could it be that her grades are so bad that the system isn't even recording them?"

Haha!

Everyone laughed.

Mu Xi comforted me, "Don't pay them any attention. I heard that Zhao Baixue gave them a lot of benefits at yesterday's birthday party."

She was implying to me that Zhao Baixue was targeting me.

Actually, I don't know how I offended Zhao Baixue.

Logically speaking, I've already stopped bothering Gu Heng. If she likes Gu Heng so much, she should just go after him.

Suddenly, the classroom became very quiet.

No one spoke.

Mu Xi and I both found it strange.

"What's wrong?" Mu Xi walked over; she wanted to take a look at me.

The crowd made way for her.

Mu Xi leaned closer, and the first thing she saw was my name on the report card.

"My God, Shen Yan, you actually got second place!" Mu Xi exclaimed in astonishment.

She knew I would improve, but she didn't expect me to improve so quickly.

Second place?

I was surprised too.

"Impossible!" Zhao Baixue's voice rose; she couldn't believe it.

She walked over, saw my name, and her face darkened considerably.

"Shen Yan is first in the class and second in the grade. So if the first place isn't Gu Heng or Zhao Baixue, then who is it?" someone asked curiously.

I was surprised.

Gu Heng wasn't number one?

At this moment, Gu Heng had already stood up and started walking out.

"Oh right, the bulletin board will post the overall rankings!" someone realized.

Everyone rushed out in a swarm.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief; I had been worried that they would focus all their attention on me.

Mu Xi looked at me quietly and asked, "Who do you think came in first place?"

“Perhaps it’s… Huo Yubai,” I replied.

Mu Xi smiled speechlessly: "It's impossible for him. I think it's surprising but reasonable that you got second place. Huo Yubai's entrance exam score was already at the bottom. His foundation is too weak. He's already in his senior year of high school. No matter how much tutoring he gets, it's impossible."

"What if..." I hesitated for a moment, "...that his tutor is really good?"

"If you find a teacher like this, please introduce him to me!" Mu Xi said excitedly.

I gave an awkward smile. Huo Yushen was low-key and didn't want others to know about his relationship with Huo Yubai. What could I say?

"Shen Yan, Mu Xi, come quick!" A classmate ran in: "Huo Yubai got first place in the whole grade, and none of the teachers believe it. They're saying... saying you two cheated together!"

Mu Xi frowned: "These idiots! If they're cheating together, are they just sitting idly by as proctors?"

"Let's go take a look!" I was somewhat prepared.

But I didn't expect Huo Yubai to get such good grades.

We were in the same exam room and both of us got such scores, so naturally people would make that guess.

I hurriedly left the classroom.

They happened to run into the homeroom teacher of Class 3: "Teacher, where is Huo Yubai?"

"I want to know too!" said the Class 3 homeroom teacher happily. "This rascal got such a good score, he really makes me proud!"

"Teacher, do you believe him?" I know that the homeroom teacher of Class 3 has always had a good reputation, but I am still very surprised that he believes in Huo Yubai so much in such a big matter.

"That's because those people don't know that Huo Yubai is very smart!" The homeroom teacher of Class 3 said with a proud look on his face.

“But now everyone is saying that Huo Yubai cheated,” I told him.

"That's impossible!" the Class 3 homeroom teacher said firmly. "They're talking nonsense! I have to go and talk to them!"

After saying that, he went downstairs.

I quickly dragged Muxi along to see what was going on.

With him handling things, I was saved a lot of trouble.

At this time, the bulletin board was surrounded by people.

After all, this matter is too unbelievable.

How did Huo Yubai, who was at the bottom of the entire grade, manage to get the top score in the grade?

"Teacher Tian, ​​you've come at the right time. A student in your class cheated and still got first place!" Wang Jing said pointedly.

Mu Xi and I rushed over, and when we saw Wang Jing, a cold smile crept into our hearts.

She really is persistent.

"Where's Huo Yubai?" Teacher Tian asked excitedly, "Find him for me!"

"Teacher Tian, ​​don't get too worked up. His parents should be called in. Cheating is outrageous!" Wang Jing said quietly.

Teacher Tian glared at Wang Jing: "Teacher Wang, what do you mean? Cheating is indeed despicable, but Huo Yubai definitely did not cheat!"

Wang Jing paused for a moment, then sneered: "Teacher Tian, ​​I know you're happy and proud that your class produced a top student in the grade, but you can't be this protective of your own, can you?"
