Chapter 42: Study God

“This paper isn’t difficult?” Zhang Hao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He took Huo Tian’s papers away with a twisted expression.

After Mr. Wang was done distributing the papers, Huo You’s name wasn’t brought up at all.

A lively boy who wasn’t afraid of stirring up trouble raised his hand and asked, “Teacher, how did Huo You do for math?”

Mr. Wang glared at the boy and picked up the last exam paper on the table. “Huo You’s math result is 147 marks and she’s in second place in our class. Can Students in the front row, please help to pass Huo You’s paper to her, who is outside the door.”

Everyone exchanged looks of disbelief. Zhang Hao, who was in the front row, turned around and complained to Huo Tian, “I thought Huo You scored full marks too. How is she so confident that she can beat you?”

Huo Tian propped her face with one hand and didn’t make it seem as if she sounded too full of herself. “This is just for math. What if Huo You scored better than me in the other subjects?”

“Really? I don’t believe that.” Zhang Hao shook his head. “I just saw your math paper and now completely understand what a true study god is. I don’t think Huo You will be able to do better than you in any subject!”

“Sigh…” Huo Tian sighed and suppressed the worry in her heart. She really didn’t have much confidence in her humanities subjects.

After class, Huo You returned to the classroom and walked to Huo Tian’s desk with her paper. “Huo Tian, how many marks did you get for math? Did you reach the passing line?”

Almost all the students who were still in the class were paying attention to Huo You’s every move. When they heard her talking to Huo Tian in such an arrogant tone, their expressions became distorted. Some students couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Huo You belatedly realized that the atmosphere in the classroom was a little strange. She looked at the students around her, but no one met her gaze.

This attitude puzzled Huo You even more, so her attitude towards Huo Tian became even worse.

“Huo Tian, I know you’re afraid, but people have to face the truth eventually. Your results can’t compare to mine, and you’re destined to drop out of school. Why don’t you just pack your things and leave early? You can still save yourself some dignity…”

“Pfft… Cough, cough…” Zhang Hao, who was sitting at the table in front, finally could not help but laugh. His shoulders were trembling, and it seemed like he was feeling very uncomfortable from holding it in.

“Zhang Hao, what are you laughing at? Is what I said funny?” Huo You glared at Zhang Hao angrily.

Zhang Hao was trying to suppress his laughter so hard that his face had become distorted. He kept waving his hands. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I thought of something funny. It’s really too funny, hahaha…”

Huo Tian propped up her face on her palm and watched the show for a long while. Only after she lost interest in the comedy in front of her did she say, “This student in front, show Huo You my paper and let her see with her own eyes how many marks I scored. This will prevent her from coming to disturb me time and time again.”

“Yes, Study God!”

Zhang Hao saluted Huo Tian mischievously and handed her math paper to Huo You in a respectful manner with both hands.

Huo You’s face darkened when she saw the 150 marks written in bright red at the top of the paper.

“How is that possible? The questions this time are so difficult, how is it possible for someone to get full marks?”

Huo Tian couldn’t be bothered to answer. She glanced at Huo You indifferently and took back her math paper.

Zhang Hao could not help but feel proud as if he was the one who had gotten full marks. “Huo You, the reason you can’t do it is that your standard is not high enough, but that doesn’t mean that others can’t get full marks. Our Huo Tian is an utter genius! Isn’t getting full marks a common thing for her?”

However, there was no way that Huo You would ever admit that she wasn’t as good as Huo Tian. “Huo Tian, did you know the answers right from the start? You must have cheated, right?!”

Zhang Hao spoke up first, “Hey, Huo You, you can’t speak recklessly. You’re just spouting nonsense. Do you know that this is slander?”

Unlike how agitated others were, Huo Tian, who was the one being suspected of cheating, had an indifferent expression on her face. She looked straight into Huo You’s eyes calmly.

“Is it that difficult to admit that you’re not good enough? Is it that painful for you to admit that your results are not as good as mine?”

Huo You’s face turned pale. Under Huo Tian’s calm gaze, she felt like all her disguise had been ripped off.

She gritted her teeth, her expression slightly distorted. “Huo Tian, what do you know? You’ve always been so lucky…”

“Do you think it’s lucky to live in a place like the Huo Family?” Huo Tian seemed to be able to see the source of Huo You’s gradually distorted personality clearly. She sneered.

“You’ve always thought that I owe you, but that’s not the case. I was the one who suffered pain that didn’t belong to me for 18 years.”

At that moment, Huo You’s expression turned blank. Huo Tian’s words were like a heavy blow to her heart. In that instant, Huo You understood that Huo Tian was right. Living in the Huo Family’s environment was indeed a painful thing, but that was also the life Huo You had chosen for herself. She wasn’t going to admit her failure in front of Huo Tian.
