Zhang Jian took out a test paper from his desk. "This is it. Meng Qingqing copied it for you, right?"
"How did you know?" Xu Li took the test paper and glanced at it. She immediately understood that Meng Qingqing was a fool! When she wrote the name on the test paper, she subconsciously wrote her name. Then, she drew two lines and added Xu Li's name!
The corners of Xu Li's mouth twitched. She began to worry about Meng Qingqing's intelligence.
"By the way," Zhang Jian stopped Xu Li, "there's a Year Meet this afternoon. Didn't you get second place in the entire school? You have to go up and make a speech. Prepare the manuscript."
"Got it." Xu Li went back with the test papers. Meng Qingqing was playing with Wen Heng in front of her in the classroom. When she saw Xu Li, she shouted, "Xu Li, why did Old Zhang ask for you again?"
Xu Li placed the test paper in front of Meng Qingqing. "Old Zhang asked me to ask you to shake your head and see if you can hear the sound of water in your head."
"Ah!" Meng Qingqing slapped her forehead. When she saw the modified name, she chuckled. "I forgot. After I finished writing, I wanted to borrow a correction fluid from Wen Heng, but in my hurry, I forgot."
Xu Li looked at Meng Qingqing as if she was a fool and sighed helplessly. "It's alright. I don't blame you. It's your fault for being stupid."
Wen Heng, who was beside them, was laughing so hard that he was twitching.
The last class in the afternoon was the Year Meet. The students walked toward the auditorium with their arms around each other's shoulders and chatted. Xu Li wanted to go up and speak, so she sat in the first row. Beside her was Lu Peian. He still looked cold. He held a book in his hand, and it was the English version. Xu Li was interested. "Do you want to study medicine?"
"Yes." Lu Peian nodded gently and asked Xu Li, "Are you also interested in medicine?"
Xu Li shook her head. "My father asked me to study finance."
Lu Peian paused for a moment and understood what Xu Li meant. She did not say that she did not want to study medicine, but her family had already arranged a path for her.
No one continued on this topic. Xu Li leaned back in her chair and listened to the lectures from the head of the year encouraging everyone to study hard and strive to get into a good university. After a while, it was the student representative's turn to speak. The first to go up was a girl from the art class. She spoke a lot, and Xu Li almost fell asleep listening to her.
Suddenly, Lu Peian nudged Xu Li and reminded her, "It's your turn."
Xu Li shuddered. She propped herself up on the armrest of the chair and walked up to the stage. Most of the people in the school knew Xu Li. When they saw her go up, they immediately cheered.
The grade director nodded at Xu Li. Xu Li sat on the chair and adjusted the microphone. "Quiet."
As soon as he said that, the grade head almost choked on the water he was about to drink. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was quite good. At least Xu Li did not say, "Shut up, all of you."
The students below instantly fell silent. Xu Li glanced at them indifferently and said, "It's an honor to be ranked second in the cohort. There's no secret. Just listen to the class and do your homework well."
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter!
Thanks to Wen Heng's big mouth, everyone knew that Meng Qingqing had helped Xu Li copy her homework today and even wrote the wrong name.
Xu Li raised her eyebrows nonchalantly. "That's all I have to say. Thank you!"
After a pause of three seconds, applause sounded from below the stage. Xu Li stood up, bowed to the teachers, and left the stage.
A heart-wrenching shout came from below the stage.
"Xu Li, Xu Li, I love you! Just like a mouse loves rice!"
"Xu Li is awesome!"
Xu Li did not even need to look to know that it was Meng Qingqing and Wen Heng, who were just enjoying the show.
Seeing that the students below were about to shout that Xu Li was awesome, the head of the grade quickly winked at Lu Peian. Lu Peian stood up and went on stage. He said slowly, "I'm Lu Peian from Grade 12 Class 1. It's my honor to be the top student in the cohort. I don't have any special learning methods. Listen carefully and do more tests. Thank you."
The Grade Head: "…"
Below the stage, Meng Qingqing slapped Wen Heng's thigh hard. "Did you see that?! Did you see that?! What's this?! This is a husband who follows his wife! What a match made in heaven!"
Wen Heng rubbed his chin and nodded in agreement. "That's right. These two people are indeed quite compatible!"
Lu Peian returned to his seat. Just as he picked up his book, he realized that Xu Li was staring at him. He tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Li shook her head. "Nothing. I just find you interesting."
