After Becoming the Love-Brained Female Lead’s Best Friend - Chapter 12

After the midterm exams came the May Day holiday, so on the eve of the exams, the homeroom teacher stood in class, explaining exam precautions while also reminding them to stay safe during the holiday. At the same time, she “wished” them a good holiday.

Hearing the word “holiday,” the gloomy mood of the group, who had been tortured by exams for days, was finally swept away. Many people had already started discussing how to spend the break.

The area below the podium was noisy.

Taking advantage of the noise, Ye Wanyin asked Fang Shu, “Do you have any plans for the holiday?”

Fang Shu tapped on her phone. “Sangyuan will have new movies during May Day. I’ll go take a look then.”

Ye Wanyin immediately became alert. “Didn’t you say you would consider me?”

Fang Shu answered carelessly, “Yeah.”

Ye Wanyin could not help frowning and looked at her with faint condemnation. “You plan to consider me while responding to someone else?”

Fang Shu’s attention was not completely on her, so she only heard the first half and casually gave a vague reply. A while later, she finally realized what she had agreed to and quickly turned her head, only to see Ye Wanyin looking at her with the expression of someone staring at a scumbag woman.

Fang Shu: “…”

After letting the class make noise for a while, the homeroom teacher on the podium began smacking the blackboard eraser to make them quiet down.

It had to be said that the homeroom teacher’s authority was still quite strong. After she hit it heavily a few times, the class instantly quieted down. Even the sound of a needle dropping to the floor could be heard.

For a while, the homeroom teacher did not speak, and for a while, no one else dared to make a sound either.

Fang Shu had no choice but to pass Ye Wanyin a note.

I’m not responding to anyone. I’m going to watch the movie alone.

Alone?

Is that not allowed?

There are five days off for May Day. Aren’t you going home?

The note-passing stopped there. Fang Shu crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash bag beside her desk. Then she adjusted her sitting posture and continued playing with her phone.

Ye Wanyin also put away her wandering thoughts and began listening seriously.

Because the exams were approaching, all the students were made to stay for evening self-study that night. The homeroom teacher held a large stack of test papers and explained them one question type at a time.

Finally, the day of the exams arrived.

Seats were arranged according to the results of the previous monthly exam. The entire building had been turned into exam rooms, with forty people in each room. Ye Wanyin’s monthly exam results had been set by the system as first in class and seventieth in the grade, so her exam seat was in Class Two.

As for Fang Shu…

When Ye Wanyin saw Fang Shu’s exam seat, she actually felt a tiny bit relieved for a moment, because Fang Shu was not last.

The last-place student was a boy in their class who had directly handed in blank papers. With a total score of zero, he ranked behind Fang Shu.

Even though it was exam day, they still had to do morning reading in the morning. After eating, everyone began packing their things and heading to their assigned exam rooms. Fang Shu and Ye Wanyin were going in completely different directions, one upstairs and one downstairs, so they separated as soon as they left the classroom.

Naturally, they could not eat lunch together either.

At night, however, they could walk together, because in order to give them the best environment for last-minute cramming, the homeroom teacher not only made them stay in the classroom for self-study but also called over the physics teacher to give them extra lessons.

By the time the exams finally ended, it was already the afternoon of the next day. All the teachers were busy grading papers, so almost every class in the building fell into an unsupervised state of excitement.

Even Fang Shu stopped hiding. She held her phone openly and started playing.

Many people were still gathered around Ye Wanyin. Aside from those with poor grades who had directly given up, students with good grades and average grades all came to compare answers with her. When their answers matched, they were ecstatic. When they did not, they sighed in despair.

In the middle of this, the homeroom teacher came over once. She had clearly guessed how chaotic the class would be, so she planned to launch a sudden attack.

Unfortunately, everyone was having too much fun. A few people were not even in the classroom, but leaning against the corridor and gazing into the distance.

So the moment the homeroom teacher appeared, she was discovered.

The people standing outside hurried back to warn the others. Those playing with phones quickly hid them away. Those chatting also returned to their own seats and casually took out a set of questions to pretend to work.

The homeroom teacher walked all the way through the noise of the other classes to her own class. When she heard no sound coming from inside, she instantly understood.

It seemed her movements had been exposed this time.

When she walked in and saw the whole class pretending to do questions, she did not say anything. She simply stood on the podium and intimidated them for a while. Then she took out the exam papers she had brought with her and sat directly on the podium to grade them.

The forced silence below finally became unbearable after fifteen minutes. At first, someone secretly passed notes. Later, people began speaking in low voices. In the homeroom teacher’s ears, it sounded like a swarm of flies buzzing.

So she smacked the blackboard eraser several times, and the class finally returned to silence.

However, this silence lasted less than another fifteen minutes before buzzing sounds began again.

The homeroom teacher smacked the eraser again.

The class became quiet again.

While the students and the homeroom teacher were cleverly battling each other with wits and courage, Fang Shu was wholeheartedly and openly playing with her phone as if no one else were around.

In the middle, Ye Wanyin urged Fang Shu once and asked how her consideration was going.

In Fang Shu’s heart, she actually already had some thoughts, but less than half a month had passed since the agreed date. She planned to drag it out until the last day.

So she said to Ye Wanyin, “I haven’t thought it through yet.”

Ye Wanyin: “…”

Fine.

The teachers at school were very efficient. By the next afternoon, all the students’ grades had come out. Although the grade rankings had not yet been posted, the class score sheets had already been printed.

The homeroom teacher walked in wearing an expression that said, Let’s see what kind of garbage results you all managed to get. Although it was currently break time, the people in class subconsciously quieted down. Their expressions were both expectant and nervous as they looked at the homeroom teacher on the podium.

However, the homeroom teacher did not announce the grades for a long time.

This made the students below grow restless. Just how badly had they done?

Finally, the homeroom teacher opened her mouth.

“This time, our class’s average math score is seventy-nine. We ranked fourteenth in the grade, improving by two places.”

Cheers erupted below.

However, the homeroom teacher did not look particularly happy. She patted the desk.

“Do you think this is your own achievement? I’m too lazy to read out the names of those who have always scored badly, but this time, some students whose grades are usually very stable also did poorly. Let’s not even talk about how many of these questions I’ve already explained before. This midterm wasn’t even as difficult as the last monthly exam, so how could you only score this little?!”

No one below dared to make a sound. At the same time, doubts arose in their hearts. Then where had the improved points come from? Had a ghost answered the questions?

“Those whose names I call, stand up.”

“Zhou xx. I’m too lazy to even talk about you. Take your paper and go stand at the back.”

“Fang Shu. Forget it. You also take your paper and stand at the back.”

…

By the time the homeroom teacher finished reading the list, there was almost no room left for the row of students standing against the back wall. There were not many people still sitting below either.

“Meng Meng, you improved quite a lot this time. Keep working hard. Go back and sit down.”

“Li xx, your grades are very stable. Not bad. Sit down.”

…

“Ye Wanyin.”

The expression on the homeroom teacher’s face changed. Finally, it was no longer the look of someone who found everyone unpleasant. For the first time that evening, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

“You also improved a lot. Your scores in every subject ranked first in the grade. You scored 148 in math…”

At this point, a trace of regret appeared on the homeroom teacher’s face.

“Those two points really shouldn’t have been deducted. In the last big question, you skipped one step in the middle. Remember to pay attention next time.”

Ye Wanyin nodded.

The homeroom teacher let her go back and sit down, then began lecturing the group of students standing at the back.

“Look at yourselves. Some of you can’t even score a fraction of her points. Looking at these results, don’t you feel ashamed?!”

The standing students all lowered their heads in unison. On the surface, each of them looked especially ashamed. Some of them would still dare to do it again next time.

“All of you stand properly. No one is allowed to leave before school ends!”
