Two hours later, the exam ended.

He Jing felt pretty good. Although there were two questions she wasn’t confident about, she believed her accuracy rate was around 95%.

Cheng Yi walked out of the examination hall in a daze. Her steps back home seemed to float, and her mind was filled with the impending apocalypse, the reprimand of the teachers, the cold gazes of the students, and the disappointment of her parents…

Her life felt shrouded in darkness.

She returned to the Cheng family in a trance and coincidentally bumped into Ye Shuping. Ye Shuping saw that something was wrong with her. She asked with concern, “Xiao Yi, what’s wrong?” Cheng Yi raised her head. Her eyes were red and she choked, “Mom…”

“Did He Jing bully you again?”

Cheng Yi didn’t dare to let Ye Shuping know what she had done. She couldn’t resist Ye Shuping’s constant questioning and finally told the truth. She cried as she said, “Mom, I really didn’t mean in. I just wanted to become a bit better, to make you and Dad proud of me…”

Ye Shuping furrowed her brows in distress. “It’s a little difficult.”

“Mom, what should I do?”

“However, it’s not like there’s no solution.”

Ye Shuping wiped away her tears and said empathetically, “Don’t cry. You just finished your test and the results haven’t been announced yet. I’ll hire someone to steal your paper out. You can act like you don’t know anything.”

Cheng Yi’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, “Can we really do that?”

“Why not?” Ye Shuping, with a determined idea, gained more confidence. “There are so many examinees in the province. Who knows how many test papers there are? Who cares why you lost your test paper?”

When Cheng Yi heard this, she suddenly felt a resurgence of hope and smiled through her tears. “Thank you, Mom. You’re so good.”

Ye Shuping pointed at her forehead. “You troublesome child…”

So, that night, a thief broke into the school that was set as the provincial physics competition venue. Cheng Yi’s paper was discreetly taken from the pile of test papers. The person who did it, however, didn’t notice that due to the hurried action, another paper had accidentally fallen out…

About a month later, the results of the provincial physics competition were announced.

Everyone in Yin High School erupted in cheers because Yan Hanxi had actually gotten into the provincial first place. Only one person from the neighboring First High School had entered the top ten, but there were two people whose results were blank, and their rankings were at the bottom.

Cheng Yi and He Jing!

Senior Two Class Three exploded.

“D*mn, what’s going on? Did Sister Jing miss the exam?”

“I clearly saw Sister Jing getting on the school bus that day. Isn’t this too surreal?”

“Sister Jing, what happened?”

He Jing also didn’t understand what was going on. She had clearly taken the test, but why did she score o? Could it be that the female lead halo was so powerful that it could cover up all bugs?

And she, this malicious supporting character, also took the blame?

She couldn’t help but look at Cheng Yi. She saw that Cheng Yi’s eyebrows were raised and her expression was happy. It was obvious that she was relieved.

Cheng Yi indeed heaved a sigh of relief. She hadn’t eaten or slept well for the past month. She was afraid that something unexpected would happen. When the results were announced, the stone in her heart finally settled.

She also looked at He Jing with a hint of cynicism in her eyes. Hmph, so what if she couldn’t separate He Jing from Yan Hanxi? So what if He Jing performed well? She was still at the bottom just like her.

At this moment, the physics teacher suddenly rushed in from outside the corridor and said, “Student He Jing, Student Cheng Yi, the provincial authorities attach great importance to the incident of your lost exam paper.

After all, after the provincial competition, it will be the national competition. It will affect the honor of our province. In the end, the province has decided to let you both retake the exam separately. The time is set for tomorrow afternoon.. I hope the two of you will work hard and achieve good results!”
