Chapter 12 Good intentions, but no love of learning

The classmates were busy doing exercises. When they looked up and saw that Cheng Ye had already handed in his math test paper, they immediately felt gloating.

It seems that I don’t know how to do it, so I gave up the exam early!

Cheng Fenghao thought so too. With half an hour left before the exam, he went up to the stage to hand in his test paper and glanced at Cheng Ye provocatively out of the corner of his eye.

When passing by Cheng Ye, he did not forget to remind him, "Cheng Ye, don't forget your bet."

Chu Xiyan was five minutes late and then went on stage to hand in her math test paper.

Jiang Mian felt sleepy and slept on the table for two hours. In the end, Cheng Ye woke her up and she handed in the blank paper hesitantly.

The evening self-study session for senior high school students had not yet ended, so they could not leave school early. After everyone had handed in their test papers, the bell rang and school was finally over. The students picked up their backpacks and rushed out of the classroom.

The third sister Cheng Shiyan is a well-known doctor. She performed surgery on a patient during the day and happened to be free in the evening, so she came to pick up brother Fenghao from school.

Cheng Fenghao ran over with a look of joy on his face, "Third sister, why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up from school. The teacher told me how did you feel about the math test tonight? Did you do well on the questions?" The third sister Cheng Shiyan loves her excellent and obedient brother Fenghao very much.

"It's okay. I should be able to maintain the first place." Cheng Fenghao answered confidently.

The third sister Cheng Shiyan was very proud, "You always come first, and you are the pride of everyone in the Cheng family."

"Let's go home. I'll tell my parents that you got first place in the class on the math test."

Cheng Fenghao pursed his lips shyly, "Third sister, the results haven't come out yet."

"Does it matter whether we come out or not? Brother Fenghao will definitely be the first place!" Cheng Shiyan was holding Cheng Fenghao's hand and was about to walk out of the classroom when she suddenly saw Cheng Ye who was packing his books.

Cheng Fenghao's eyes flashed, "Third sister, my brother made a bet with me today."

"Bet?" When Cheng Ye was mentioned, the third sister Cheng Shiyan couldn't help but feel disgusted, "Did he bully you again?"

"No, no." Cheng Fenghao whispered, "My brother made a bet with me that if he got first place in the class in this math test, he would ask me to apologize to him in public at the flag-raising ceremony next Monday."

Cheng Fenghao lowered his head, looking aggrieved and uncomfortable. Tears welled up in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes turned red because of sadness. "Third sister, why does my brother hate me?"

"What did I do wrong that he had to force me to apologize in public? During the flag-raising ceremony? All the teachers and students were watching."

As Cheng Fenghao spoke, he choked up and started crying.

The third sister Cheng Shiyan couldn't bear to see her brother Fenghao cry. Whenever he cried, her heart would twitch and ache.

"You recognize him as your brother, but he doesn't recognize you." Cheng Shiyan deliberately raised her voice and said in a sarcastic tone, "He has severed all ties with us. He doesn't recognize us Cheng family members from the bottom of his heart. Don't bother him so much."

"Haha, betting on getting first place? If he could get first place, even sows could climb trees!!" Cheng Shiyan looked at Cheng Ye with disdain, "Shameless, incompetent but still talking nonsense!"

Cheng Ye packed up his textbooks. His emotionless face was filled with dark eyes that were as cold as ice for thousands of years. "Hey, someone swore that he could keep the first place even before the results came out."

"What if I don't get first place? Wouldn't that mean I'll just hit myself in the face?"

Cheng Fenghao's face suddenly changed. "I'm just telling the truth. I was the first in the past, and I will always be the first in the future."

He is very confident about his achievements.

The third sister Cheng Shiyan couldn't help but roll her eyes. She held Cheng Fenghao's hand and said, "Let's go. He just likes to brag. When the results come out tomorrow, I will call your math teacher in the living room in front of the whole family and ask about your test scores in person!"

"Let them see how he embarrasses himself!" Cheng Shiyan was so angry that her face turned black. Since Cheng Ye likes to embarrass himself, she would let Cheng Ye embarrass himself enough! !

Cheng Fenghao was immediately excited. If he could use this opportunity to make the Cheng family further dislike Cheng Ye, why not do it?

Cheng Ye shrugged indifferently.

After Cheng Shiyan and Cheng Fenghao left, only Cheng Ye, Jiang Mian, and Chu Xiyan were left in the classroom.

Chu Xiyan was the class monitor. She stayed behind and needed to close the classroom door and lights.

She urged impatiently: "Pack up quickly, I want to go back."

Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian automatically ignored Chu Xiyan's existence and searched for reference books in the desk for a long time.

"Are you sure you brought it to school?" Cheng Ye asked patiently.

Jiang Mian looked around, sweating a little bit, "I brought it. How come the math teaching materials I just bought are gone?"

Cheng Ye suddenly thought of the blank math paper that Jiang Mian handed in. He began to understand more and more the good intentions of Jiang Mian's parents in sending him to work in the factory.

I really don't like studying.

"Can I ask you what level of high school math you have learned so far?" Cheng Ye was a little curious.

Jiang Mian stopped searching and raised her innocent eyes. "I have learned the concept of sets, basic relationships, and basic operations on sets!"

Cheng Ye: “…”

Isn't this the knowledge point that we will learn in the first class of high school mathematics? ?

"Look for it tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. It's just teaching supplementary materials. There are plenty of them in bookstores." Cheng Ye comforted Jiang Mian not to worry.

Jiang Mian nodded obediently: "Okay, let's go back then."

Cheng Ye was pulled out of the classroom by Jiang Mian. Chu Xiyan heard Jiang Mian say to Cheng Ye: "Luckily it didn't rain tonight. Aren't you going to live in the dormitory?"

"Yeah." Cheng Ye replied.

"You don't live near your grandmother's clinic, do you?" Jiang Mian thought.

He answered whatever she asked, "Well, yes. What about you?"

"I live near you too. But my grandfather is not nearby. Doesn't your grandmother have to go to my grandfather's house for a medical consultation tomorrow? I called a taxi, and the driver will take your grandmother to my grandfather's house."

"Last time you said that your grandfather had back pain due to sitting for a long time?" Cheng Ye asked.

"Yes! He forgot about time while working and didn't stand up and walk around often. Over time, he suffered a serious back injury. He called many doctors, but they couldn't completely cure it. The doctors all said that it was highly unlikely to be cured and that he could only rely on traditional Chinese medicine to relieve the pain."

Their voices drifted away.

Chu Xiyan stomped her feet in anger. Wasn’t the relationship between Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian getting better too quickly?

Chu Xiyan felt suffocated as she was clearly ignored by Cheng Ye, but she soon regained her composure.

Jiang Mian handed in a blank paper tonight, which means that Jiang Mian is a poor student like Cheng Ye!

But she and Feng Hao are different. They are both excellent students in the eyes of their teachers and smart academic masters in the eyes of their classmates.

She and Cheng Ye are not from the same world!!

Thinking of this, Chu Xiyan felt much more comfortable.
