The homeroom teacherâs eyelids quivered, and her eyes met with Fu Tingâs clear doe-like eyes that were akin to jades. Fu Tingâs eyes were cleaner than a lake, resembling a mirror that could reflect all the darkness in the world.
In this mirror, the homeroom teacher saw her own corrupt and twisted look.
âWhat youâve said is right, Student Fu Ting,â the principal said solemnly. âHomeroom Teacher, youâre an excellent teacher with experience. How can you make this kind of low-level mistake? It violates the teacherâs virtue. Quickly call Fu Tingâs father to apologize.â
The homeroom teacher was mortally ashamed, and she blamed Fu Ting for making her lose face. However, in order to keep her job, she could only bear the humiliation and came before Fu Pei. âIâve wronged youâ¦â
The principal was puzzled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Did he discover a forbidden love?
Fu Peiâs deep brow ridges moved slightly, his whole being looked unruly. He took one glance at the homeroom teacher apathetically before he slouched on the table lazily and slept.
The homeroom teacher was stunned.
Did this good-for-nothing do that deliberately?
âPrincipal, I can share the solutions.â With the principalâs surprise look, Fu Ting quickly added, âBut, I want to transfer to another class.â
The principal was baffled. âWhere do you wanna go?â
âI was hurt by the homeroom teacherâs comments⦠Iâd have more trouble if I continue to stay here,â she replied. âBesides, the homeroom teacher thinks Iâm from the countryside and isnât worthy of staying here to study in grade three of high school. I plan on taking the homeroom teacherâs advice and repeat the first grade of high school.â Fu Ting talked as her sweet smile resembled the fresh green shoots; it soothed everyone.
The principal was overwhelmed with panic. âStudent Fu Ting, youâre so smart. How can you repeat from the first year of high school? Isnât this a waste of your talent?â
The existence of Fu Ting could bring glory to Hai City High School during the college entrance examination in the second half-year.
The principal pondered about it for a few minutes and made a decisive choice. âHow about this⦠Iâll transfer the homeroom teacher to another school. That way, you wonât be troubled anymore.â
The homeroom teacherâs face stiffened. Hai City High School was the best high school in Hai City, and she had a hard time getting into this school. If she left, all of her efforts would be wasted.
âDonât do that, Principal. I know Iâm wrong.â As the homeroom teacher said this, she looked at Fu Ting once more dejectedly. âStudent Fu Ting, Iâve apologized to you and Fu Pei. Donât haggle over it anymore, please? Iâll never do that againâ¦â
Fu Tingâs little face looked serious. âBut your words not only hurt me but also gave my dad psychological trauma. Weâre still developing adolescents in puberty, and our mentality is very important. To make sure the college entrance examination in the second half-year goes smoothly, I think itâs better for you to not show up in front of my dad and me!â
Though his face was buried in his arms, Fu Peiâs menacing expression shifted into a frivolous smile. His pupils were black and shiny, and it revealed a lovely warm feeling that he could not decipher.
Little liar. She started to fool people again.
The homeroom teacher wanted to say something, but the headmaster beat her to it. âAlright,â he ended. âThatâs it, then.â
He glanced at the homeroom teacher warningly, and the homeroom teacher had no choice but to swallow the insult and left.
Afterward, the principal comforted Fu Ting with a few words. He left happily as Fu Ting promised to write the math solutions and pass them to Teacher Zhu.
Before leaving, he called Teacher Zhu outside of the classroom and patted on his shoulder. âYouâll be responsible for Class One from now on. Remember that Fu Ting is now a key training target in our high school. Youâll pay more attention to her and Fu Pei in the future. Sheâs a good seedling that canât be ruined by puppy love, especially in this critical period.â
Teacher Zhu nodded absent-mindedly.

In the classroomâ¦
The students finally had a chance to discuss the turn of events.
âOh my god, I was blind. It turns out the real top student in our class is Fu Ting!â
âOnly one point got deducted from her Language, and all other subjects are full marks. What kind of top student is this? This is the top scholar! I totally admire her!â
âAnd she used advanced methods to solve the questions. Even the principal was alerted and almost knelt. I announce sheâs my new goddess!â
â¦
This was a shocking reversal.
Xu Tingting and Fu Huihui hardened themselves. They sat in their seats with their long faces.
Looking at the group of people around Fu Ting asking for solutions, Xu Tingting mumbled, âSheâs just the first-ranked student. Itâs nothing to be proud of. Pride and complacency donât end well.â
Su Luoshui finished her drink and squashed the tin can. Her wide eyes looked playful, and she raised her eyebrows with an inevident smile. âThe real number one isnât worthy of being proud. The fake number one is worthy of being proud then.â
Fu Huihuiâs face froze.
Someone could not help but laugh.
âThatâs right. Didnât Fu Huihui give a âthank youâ speech redundantly?â
âSheâs faking as number one and looks down on Fu Ting⦠And she claims to be the school babe? I think sheâs just a joke. Time to give way to Fu Ting!â
âIâm laughing so hard, a mountain wouldâve collapsed!â
