Chapter 39: A Clear Conscience
"However, I'm different from you. I have no rivals and no limits. It doesn't matter to me even if I surpass Yan Hanxi. As long as I don't get full marks in every subject and make mistakes in every exam, I'll never be satisfied. I want to achieve better results. The genius in your eyes is not something that I can't surpass. This exam is based on my own strength. Not only this time but next time, I will also work hard to achieve my own goal."
"If you have any objections to me or believe that my grades are fake, please go and find evidence after class. This is the teacher's classroom now, not the place for you to act unruly."
He Jing turned to look at the Physics teacher and said respectfully, "Teacher, please continue."
The Physics teacher was no longer angry. His eyes were filled with admiration and praise, "Not bad, He Jing. You have a good learning attitude. You must continue to maintain it. I believe that you didn't cheat."
Shen Qiuyu was completely speechless. It was as if her worldview had been shattered for over a decade. She was in a daze. After a long while, she said, "I'm sorry," and ran out of the classroom.
The students stared at He Jing and felt that her entire body was glowing. Someone in the back row of the classroom twirled a pen with a bright smile in his eyes, mixed with the excitement of a hunter.
The commotion had been repeated one after another, but it had returned to calm so quickly. The classroom had returned to order. No one remembered that Cheng Yi had ranked first in the class.
She stood there in a daze, motionless. The bright smile on her beautiful face had long disappeared.
It was only when the Physics teacher reminded her, "Cheng Yi, come over and collect your test papers. Let's talk about the test papers next..."
Cheng Yi pinched herself hard and used the pain to maintain her composure. She walked up to the stage and held the 100-mark paper that she had obtained through cheating. She felt that it was extremely dazzling.
When He Jing was first in the subject, she could get the attention of everyone. Everyone let out "wow" sounds, filled with envy and admiration. When it came to her, all that was left was doubt and forgetting. She thought, "Why...Why was it so unfair!"
She was clearly the heiress of the Cheng family. He Jing had stolen more than ten years of her life. Yet she still faced constant setbacks while He Jing effortlessly gained everyone's attention.
No, she couldn't accept it...
Cheng Yi held the paper and unconsciously crumpled it. Suddenly, she thought of something and smiled again.
...
After school, He Jing packed her bag and headed to First High School to wait for He Ning and He Sui.
Wu Yu's face was filled with tears, "Sister Jing, you're too amazing. How did you manage to get the seat near the wall? It wasn't easy for me to get to 19th place."
But now he had to be next to Yan Hanxi, the great demon king. It felt so uncomfortable.
He Jing laughed, "You underestimated me. You should work hard to get third place so that you can sit behind me."
"I don't even dare to think about it..." Halfway through his sentence, Wu Yu quickly changed his words, "Alright, Sister Jing. I'll work hard next time. I'll definitely try to sit behind you."
Just as He Jing had said in class, the bigger your heart is, the bigger the stage will be. A man should never say he can't do it!
He Jing packed her bag and left the school. She bought ice cream and snacks as usual and walked through the same alley as usual.
However, a man was leaning against the electricity pole at the entrance of the alley. The setting sun shone on his body, casting a slender and tall shadow on the ground. He bent one leg and stepped on the electricity pole in a very relaxed posture. His beautiful eyes looked at her with a dazzling smile, and his voice had a hint of ridicule.
"Three Good Student, why are you so slow?"
