Chapter 221
The boy spoke glibly, "I must say you're quite clever. You knew that with your brain alone, you'd never get ahead in our school. Just because you managed to cheat once doesn't mean you could do it again, so you simply changed tracks and chose to be classmates with those rich spoiled brats. Though you're at the bottom here, you might actually rank near the top at their school."
"Look at that, this must have been your plan all along. At Qianpu Middle School, you probably won't need to cheat to qualify for competitions."
He leaned in closer and lowered his voice, "Were those scores really not from cheating? Since the start of the semester, you've consistently ranked last in our class and among the bottom fifty in the school. I just can't figure out how you suddenly scored perfect marks in that competition qualifying exam."
"Even if you were going to cheat, you should have been more subtle about it. Going from dead last to first place is just too outrageous."
The mathematics class representative from the neighboring class blinked, finding the scene before him rather complicated, his mind struggling to process it all.
Had Rongrong's grades really been that poor before? But if her academic performance was bad, how could she qualify to transfer to Qianpu Middle School?
As classmates, they didn't know much about Rongrong's family background, but they knew enough to understand that she didn't come from a wealthy family.
Her transfer to Qianpu Middle School was due to her first-prize award in mathematics competitions. The school favored such promising students who could potentially secure admission to top universities. After all, even an elite school couldn't escape its fundamental nature as an educational institution - its foundation still relied on students' academic performance.
Therefore, the school loved recruiting high-performing students and offered them various privileges.
However, for some students, while they might excel in middle school, their performance in high school wasn't guaranteed.
That's why the school particularly favored students like Rongrong who came with proven academic achievements.
Yet in all these years, the school had never actively poached students, and willing transfer students like Rongrong were unprecedented.
"Qianpu Middle School must really be desperate if they're letting students like you represent them in competitions."
Rongrong disliked arguing with others and would simply walk away with a cold expression in such situations.
But Shi Li wasn't like that - if someone insulted her, she would definitely retaliate.
Rongrong was her team member, under her protection, and insulting Rongrong meant insulting her.
Shi Li dramatically stepped back, "Oh my god, what's that overwhelming stench? Did someone's sewage tank explode?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake - it wasn't a sewage explosion, it was just you opening your mouth. You know, if your mouth stinks that bad, you shouldn't speak. You had me thinking someone's septic tank had burst."
From the usually quiet and serious Fu Huixing.
Shi Li couldn't help but mentally praise him, [As expected of you, Star Star, outstanding graduate of the male virtue school]
Dong Wenhao was completely baffled by this talk of male virtue, wondering if this guy in front of him had something wrong with his head.
He wanted to call him crazy, but after comparing their height difference - the other guy being taller and more built - he reconsidered. Though the guy looked normal, his mind might not work right, and what if he got violent after being insulted?
Even if he called the police, they'd probably just give a warning.
Following the principle of avoiding unnecessary trouble, Dong Wenhao decided to leave.
The four of them didn't understand what was going through his mind, but they watched him run away quickly.
Shi Li: Didn't understand, but respected the choice.
Aliali: 673ebb12c4f3f33ac4eea08cThis guy was ridiculous, showing no concern for his own dignity.
While the three were still shocked by Fu Huixing's behavior,
Fu Huixing casually said, "Let's go, I see sweet potatoes being roasted by the road. Would you like some?"
Of course they wanted some - Shi Li had been eyeing those roasted sweet potatoes.
"Yes, please!"
Rongrong and Fu Huixing didn't get any sweet potatoes, but Shi Li and the math representative each bought one.
The math representative returned home in a daze, feeling for the first time that these classmates were quite different from what he had imagined.
Shi Li was already something else - the goddess in everyone's hearts turned out to be so uninhibited, cursing so crudely in private.
Of course, this wasn't nearly as shocking as the destruction of Fu Huixing's image. Hearing talk of "male virtue" from the usually fierce and quiet Fu Huixing seemed even more explosive than hearing Shi Li curse.
Math Representative: Who can understand? Your god and goddess are actually just a pair of weirdos.
