"It's true, I asked An Wen for it first." Zeng Xiuman replied, defending An Wen.
Shi Jing and the girl were stunned, and the class's atmosphere grew awkward.
Shi Jing reacted swiftly and she smiled gently. "So that's why. Can you lend it to me once Zeng Xiuman is done with it? I want to appreciate the test paper that's better than Tang Rui's."
"Sure." An Wen agreed.
"She must have said that on purpose and Zeng Xiuman must be helping her! Why do you want to borrow it from her?" The girl that pulled Shi Jing away was extremely furious.
"That's impossible, don't put too much thought into it," Shi Jing said to the girl.
The class's opinion shifted back to Shi Jing's side. They felt that An Wen should have informed Shi Jing that she had already lent her paper to someone else earlier. However, she had only recently returned from overseas so perhaps her thought process was different from the others.
Either way, they did not give it much thought and turned their focus on their papers.
Zeng Xiuman saw through Shi Jing's thought process and directed her fury at An Wen. "What's with that Shi Jing!"
"She doesn't like me and so she decided to threaten me," An Wen said.
Zeng Xiuman was shocked, and her eyes widened. "You… How could you say such a thing?"
"What's wrong?" An Wen blinked as she looked at Zeng Xiuman's funny reaction.
How could a fantasy-like beauty like her say something so rude? It was simply shocking.
"It's nothing. An Wen, why didn't you tell her earlier that you'd already lent me your paper?"
An Wen smiled gently and replied, "The stage had already been set. It's better to let her finish her act."
"Huh?" Zeng Xiuman widened her eyes in confusion.
"Go have a look at the paper!" An Wen said.
The advanced class did not practice the concept of 10 minute breaks between classes as they needed to grab hold of every second they had to not be overtaken by others. However, the second class of the day was physical education so everyone had walked out of the classroom during the break. Zeng Xiuman could no longer hold back her curiosity and asked An Wen, "That's weird, the honors board is usually released after the first class. It's the second break now and we still haven't seen it. Did something happen to the school's computer?"
"We might see it after we're done with our exercises," An Wen replied.
As they walked back to the classroom, they could see the honors board in the distance. A crowd started gathering and even An Wen was dragged over by Zeng Xiuman.
Zeng Xiuman could not see the honors board due to the crowd, so she asked An Wen, "can you see anything?"
"I can!"
"Quick, check our rankings."
"I'm ranked first and you…" An Wen kept looking down before responding, "You're 37th."
"My rank has risen again. Hahahaha. You're amazing, An Wen. Not only are you ranked first, but you also have an incredible vision as well!" Zeng Xiuman praised as she asked An Wen to check her friends' rankings.
Thus, An Wen stood there and reported the rankings to the group of girls.
Then, the school's speakers reverberated suddenly. "Student An Wen from Senior One's advanced class, please head to the teacher's lounge immediately! Student An Wen from Senior One's advanced class, please head to the teacher's lounge immediately…" The school broadcasted the message multiple times. It was as if they were scared that she would miss it.
At the teacher's lounge.
An Wen knocked on the door and entered. She was greeted by the advance class's headteacher and a few other teachers who taught the class.
"Good day. Headteacher, teachers." An Wen greeted politely.
The headteacher's gaze was frightening as he asked seriously, "Why is your hair spread out like that? Tie your hair up right now!"
An Wen frowned slightly as she took a hair tie from her pocket and tied up her hair.
"Student An Wen, someone has reported that you cheated in the exam. Do you have anything to say?"
