Chapter 305 - 305: She Got First Place Only Because She Cheated

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After dinner at home, Tang Beibei went to the study to read.

She had to do her reading assignment every day in case Professor Chen spot-checked her. It would be really embarrassing if she couldn’t answer his questions.

The man walked in, pinched her arm and asked her if it hurt. She moved her arm to show that it didn’t hurt.

Actually, her arm bothered her a little during dance training today.

The man still brought essential oil and a massage gun to the study and gave her a massage to ease the tension in her muscles.

Tang Beibei smiled and rubbed her chin against his arm, like a kitten did when it was happy.

Jiang Jingchen glanced at her. “What’s making you so happy?”

Seeing my husband just makes me happy.

She then cracked a foolish and fawning grin at him.

Jiang Jingchen gave her a sidelong glance and didn’t say anything. After he finished with her massage, he packed up to leave so she could go back to her reading.

However, the little woman got up and hugged him from behind and rubbed her cheek on his back.

His little woman was very clingy today.

The corners of his lips curled up, and his handsome face softened a little but when he opened his mouth, he said, “Go back to your reading. You can be touchy-feely again when we are back in the bedroom.”

I will read. Just let me hug you for a while, okay? Hubby, you smell so good.

She hugged him tightly and felt the warmth on his broad back. She was in a great mood and rubbed her cheek against his back affectionately before she let him go.

In school after class, Tang Beibei told Ruan Qi that she was going to Professor Chen’s office.

Ruan Qi shivered at the mention of Professor Chen’s name. He always lectured like he was possessed by the devil, speaking so rapidly and abstrusely. Mere mortals like her would never get his lectures!

She admired Tang Beibei for working for Professor Chen for two years. She would have had a nervous breakdown long ago!

Hurry up and go. I’ll be at the dance studio.

The two of them parted ways. Tang Beibei was on her way to the teachers’ office building when someone called out to her. She turned around and saw Ji Man chasing after her.

Beibei, you did so well in your final exams. Do you have any tricks?

Tang Beibei blinked at her curiously. Like many other students, she also spotted questions before the exams.

“Yes, it’s good to know some exam techniques.

Oh, you do have some exam techniques then? Can you tell me?

Ji Man knew that Tang Beibei couldn’t have done so well on her own. She got first place only because she cheated.

Ji Man grabbed Tang Beibei’s arm like she wouldn’t let go unless Tang Beibei told her.

Tang Beibei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I just spotted a few questions and memorized the relevant content. The rest was just luck.”

If she was lucky, the questions she spotted would come out in the exams. If she was unlucky, the questions she spotted wouldn’t be of much use but wouldn’t drag her down either.

Ji Man was even more convinced that Tang Beibei cheated when she heard her say “the rest was just luck”.

If she was lucky, she wouldn’t be caught cheating her way to first place!

How dare she accept a scholarship when she got first place like that? How shameless and detestable!

Can you tell me the specifics? I really want to know how to use the luck you mentioned.”

It’s just more memorization. Quite similar to remembering mathematical formulas. In medicine, other than remembering case studies, we also must remember many theories.”

Ji Man didn’t believe her. She felt that Tang Beibei was just trying to fool her. She wouldn’t just tell her how she cheated.

The medical books were so thick, so abstract and difficult to remember. How did she memorize them all?

Beibei, then how did you remember those theories?”

Tang Beibei thought hard for a few seconds. “Read with your eyes.

Of course, with her eyes! Could she have read with her nose?

Ji Man saw Tang Beibei’s seconds long hesitation and was 100% certain that she had cheated.

How could she remember just by reading?

Come on!

I’m going to look for Professor Chen. What about you?” Tang Beibei asked in confusion when she saw Ji Man follow her into the office building.

Ji Man immediately stopped walking when she heard that Tang Beibei was there to see Professor Chen. With her face full of resistance, she said, “I have something else to do. Bye now.”

Tang Beibei was puzzled when she saw her run away in fear. Why were they all afraid of Professor Chen?

Professor Chen was just a little stricter than other teachers, but he was actually alright.

She walked into Professor Chen’s office and saw that he was reading a magazine. She greeted him respectfully, but he didn’t respond. She rubbed her nose awkwardly.

Fine. So, Professor Chen was also a little unfriendly.

She didn’t dare to disturb him further, so she picked up the broom and started cleaning his office.

However, Professor Chen’s office was very clean. Someone must have cleaned it today, but Tang Beibei still wiped the table and shelves seriously before she put away the cleaning utensils and found a medical journal.

Professor Chen read a lot of medical journals. Every month, new journals would replace the old ones in his office. If she didn’t read them, she wouldn’t be able to read them.

I heard that you were injured?

Tang Beibei stood up nervously when she heard Professor Chen’s voice.

“Yes. It was a minor injury.

Hmph!” Professor Chen snorted coldly without hiding his mockery. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Being shot at was a minor injury?

Tang Beibei pursed her lips and clasped her fingers together. She hung her head didn’t dare to speak again.

Here you go.

Suddenly, Professor Chen threw her a red packet. She caught it in surprise.

Professor Chen, what is this?”

Can’t you see for yourself?

His tone was impatient, as if he was giving her alms, alms that he couldn’t even be bothered to mention.

Tang Beibei opened the red packet curiously and widened her eyes in surprise when she saw a few hundred-dollar bills inside.

Professor Chen, why are you giving me money? It’s not yet time to pay me.

Tang Beibei wasn’t Professor Chen’s mentee in the beginning because Professor Chen had high expectations of his mentees.

Lu Fan and Song Kai, for example, had both achieved academic excellence before they joined Professor Chen in his medical research.

Tang Beibei’s academic results were good but there was nothing special about her. In addition, she was a little introverted and didn’t know how to please others. She was like an invisible person when she sat in his office.

While the other students were afraid of Professor Chen and didn’t choose him as their mentor, Tang Beibei had to work part-time for pocket money. She didn’t really have the right to choose her mentor and was happy to go with whoever she was assigned.

After more than half a year, Professor Chen suddenly told her guidance counselor that he would take Tang Beibei as his mentee. Only then did Professor Chen become Tang Beibei’s mentor.

Although she was now Professor Chen’s mentee, she still did the same tasks she did before. She had to sweep the floor, do odd jobs, and serve tea. Other than some small assignments, things weren’t that complicated.

Because Professor Chen still wasn’t comfortable giving her more complicated assignments.

Professor Chen said with disdain, “What pay? This is my new year red packet for you. All my mentees get one.”

Oh, thank you, Professor Chen. Thank you for your kindness.

Tang Beibei smiled. This was the second new year red packet she received. She would cherish it.

Seeing Tang Beibei’s happy smile, Professor Chen shook the magazine he was holding and softened his expression.

I saw your performance at the New Year’s Eve party. You danced quite well. You must have spent a lot of time practicing, right?” Professor Chen asked suddenly.

Tang Beibei answered nervously that she had practiced a little before she quickly added, “Professor Chen, I got first place in the final exams.. I didn’t disappoint you, right?”
