And of course, teachers naturally favor good students more, “Keep working hard. You’ll definitely get into the top university.”
Qin Si didn’t expect to get full marks for English this time around. She was stumped with most of the new words and barely understood them. Who would’ve thought that she got all of them right? What did this mean? It meant that she was very smart. As expected of her! “Thank you! I’ll continue to work hard!” She said shyly.
“Qin Zhen from Class 28 is your cousin, right? I don’t know how she did on the test. I heard that she even made a bet with you, Ms. Baihe?” Someone in the office said.
Baihe’s face darkened.
“I oversee Qin Zhen’s examination hall. That child was sleeping the entire time. They both had the surname Qin, but the two of them are complete opposites,” The teacher shook his head repeatedly.
Baihe’s expression turned even uglier, “Class 28 is a bunch of useless trash. Qin Zhen is the shame of our school!”
“Ms. Baihe, you’re wrong,” Li Wu, the homeroom teacher of Class 28, was unhappy when he heard her remark, “We are teachers. How can we say that about our students? I remember there’s a saying that goes like this: ‘There are no stupid students, only teachers who don’t know how to teach’. Doesn’t the English teacher understand the phrase ‘teaching according to the students’ aptitude’?” Li Wu said, boasting.
No matter what his students were like, he did not want to be bullied by others either. He doesn’t care about what other people think about him.
Baihe’s face only darkened and she didn’t say anything else.
When Qin Si heard the teacher’s discussion, she didn’t say anything and tactfully left the office.
A few minutes later, there was a cry of surprise, “Oh my god, only one point was deducted for Chinese!”
Hearing this, the teachers hurriedly gathered around. The Chinese literature examiner only deducted one point for the reading section! This student even scored full marks for their writing section!
The writing section was a self-written essay, and it was so long that it made people’s blood boil.
“This student’s writing is good!”
“Wait, why does their handwriting look so familiar…” The teacher who spoke first quickly went back to get the English paper. The handwriting was exactly the same as the Chinese paper.
“This doesn’t seem to be Qin Si’s…” The Chinese teacher said. She had revised Qin Si’s exam. Her writing was elegant and graceful, but it was not as majestic as this essay.
They couldn’t help but secretly peek at the name out of curiosity. When they saw who it was, the teachers in the office felt as though they were struck by lightning!
“Qin Zhen?!”
How could it be?
…
During Wednesday morning’s self-study, Li Wu walked into Class 28 with their report cards. The expression on his face does not bode good news.
The students of Class 28 were used to this. Every time after the exam, Li Wu would look like his wife had died.
“Everyone did very well in this test. Among them, Du Juan and Yan Yue improved the most. Some students didn’t even answer the second half of the exam. The college entrance examination is around the corner, are you all still in a daze?… Now, let me read out the rankings. First place, Du Juan, 501 points. Second place, Yan Yue, 493 points. Third place…”
“… Last place, Jia Qing! Jia Qing, I will call your parents tonight.”
Jia Qing looked glum.
The other students were more concerned about Qin Zhen. After all, who could forget about her bet?
Immediately, a mischievous boy took the lead and asked, “Why didn’t you call out Qin Zhen’s name?”
Li Wu’s gaze swept to Qin Zhen, who was sitting quietly. Then, with a complicated expression on his face, he said, “Qin Zhen, please follow me.”
Qin Zhen stood up and obediently followed Li Wu out.
It made the students of Class 28 even more curious about what was going on.
Li Wu immediately brought Qin Zhen to the administrative office.
All the teachers were gathered there, looking at a stack of papers with solemn expressions. Qin Zhen’s name was written on the top left corner of each paper. This was the first time they had seen such a standard answer in their decades of teaching!
Qin Zhen scored a full score of 150 points for both English and math, while she only had one point deducted for Chinese. The full score for science was 300 points, and she almost maxed out with 297 points! Other than that, she scored full marks for everything else!
Her answers were exactly the same as the standard answers. If it was any other student who had always ranked at the top, they would be very happy. However, it was very strange for a student who always ranked last would suddenly score so high out of nowhere.
The moment Li Wu brought Qin Zhen in, all the teachers’ eyes were on her.
Baihe also looked over, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
“Qin Zhen, this is your paper. How do you feel about this?” The dean looked at her coldly.
Qin Zhen glanced at her test paper on the table, “They’re not bad. I’m satisfied with the results.”
The dean had wanted her to admit her mistake, but he didn’t expect her to answer his question literally. He was instantly furious. “Qin Zhen! You’ve always ignored the school rules, and I’ve already tolerated you enough. But this time, you even resorted to cheating! Hurry up and tell us, how did you get the answers? I guarded the mock exam papers with all my being. How did you steal them?”
