More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at the exam paper. The teachers examined the paper again and confirmed this person got full marks indeed.
Not only that but this person's handwriting was even better than Han Jingyu's but no one could recognize whose exam this was.
"Is this Sheng Yue's? Did she change her handwriting recently?"
"Yes, yes, that's possible. This exam with 138 points must not be hers. It doesn't even place in the top 10 of the whole grade. That isn't her typical performance."
"It makes sense now."
"Congratulations, Mr. Zheng." Everyone looked at a very sedate-looking male teacher in his early forties. This was the math teacher of Class One.
This teacher was very dedicated to teaching. The school leaders wanted him to be the class teacher, but he refused.
Only Chen Lan lowered her head, pondering, but the exam papers hadn't been unsealed. She'd better not say anything now.
Mr. Zheng thought Chen Lan felt sad about not overtaking Class One this time, so he walked up to Chen Lan. "Your class was only one point lower than us in the average score last time. Your class has already done very well."
Chen Lan looked at him, wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words down in the end.

In Class One, a boy rushed in like lightning and shouted on the podium. "Great news! I just passed by the teachers' office and overheard that the scores of the first and second places of the math exam have been released!"
"Phew, you're telling me." A boy put his hand on a chair, bored. He narrowed his eyes. "First place was God Han and the second place was Sheng Yue."
"Haha, the idiots of Class 7 dream of overtaking us. But once again, we beat those suckers!"
"That's right, our class has God Han and Sheng Yue. But who do they have? That pretty-faced yet brainless transfer student? What a joke…"
The boy standing on the podium said mysteriously, "You all guessed wrong."
The laughter stopped abruptly then a girl stood up and raised her voice to shout, "Don't tell me one of the top two was from Class 7?"
The few students who were laughing hard turned solemn, staring at the boy on the podium without blinking.
The boy cleared his throat. "How's that possible?!"
"Don't keep us guessing! Go on!"
"First place was Sheng Yue and second place was God Han."
"Wow! Congratulations, my goddess."
"You finally surpassed God Han, but you should also thank him. After all, he often explains math problems to you."
Someone winked at Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue was in shock. Faced with everyone's admiration and praise, she still couldn't believe she actually surpassed Han this time.
The exam questions were very difficult this time. Although she finished all of them, she found them very difficult. There were a few questions that she was uncertain about. Could it be…
Did she guess all the answers right?
But now applause and praises overwhelmed her, and her vanity silenced her.
Especially--
When Han Jingyu heard this, he raised his eyes, put down the book in his hand, walked to Sheng Yue's table, and said sincerely, "Congratulations."
"Thank you… I was just lucky."
Sheng Yue enjoyed this feeling very much. Han Jingyu was looking at her and she could see herself reflected in his eyes. Unlike usual, it was always she who took the initiative to ask Han Jingyu questions.
Lowering her eyes, Sheng Yue said softly, "Thank you for explaining the questions to me."
Like Class One, Class Seven also received the news, so everyone was in low spirits now.
