“So she’s Ming Jing.”
“Her figure is so good, tall and thin. Even the school uniform looks good on her. ”
“I always feel there’s something odd about her hair…”
“Hey, are you guys missing the point here? We’re supposed to be discussing her grades, not her looks.”
Ming Jing filtered through the whispers around her and walked towards the scoreboard.
As she appeared, the crowd around the scoreboard automatically parted, looking at her with curiosity, awe, or envy.
Ming Jing walked to the scoreboard like a queen.
The name ‘Ming Jing’ was displayed at the very top, more than twice the size of the second name, very eye-catching.
Ming Jing scanned through the list and found a familiar name at seventy-eighth place.
Hu Tian.
Only two students from Class 8 made it into the grade’s honor roll, one of them proudly led the board, which was a great humiliation for those top students in Class 1.
“What’s her background? She’s so amazing!”
“Did she cheat? It’s not like this kind of thing hasn’t happened before. I think the teachers should check, otherwise it’s unfair to everyone else.”
“Is it that hard to admit that she’s outstanding?” Suddenly, a loud voice came from the crowd. Tao Xingxing pushed through the people and pointed at a boy with glasses: “You, yes you, say what you just said again.”
The boy who was named hesitated for a moment. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, his face flushed red, and he said defiantly: “She’s a nobody from Class 8 who got first place in the whole grade. Does she think we’re all stupid? She didn’t even try to hide her cheating.”
Tao Xingxing walked up to him, looked him up and down: “You look like a decent person, but your mouth stinks. Did you just eat shit?”O
The boy was humiliated and his face turned purple with anger. He pointed at
Tao Xingxing’s nose: “You…you…”
Tao Xingxing slapped his hand away and spat: “You what? Either bring out the evidence or shut your stinking mouth.”O
Tao Xingxing walked around the open space in the crowd, with calm Ming Jing at the center. She glanced at everyone and said loudly: “From today on, you’ll know the name Ming Jing. Of course, she just transferred here a little over a month ago, so you didn’t know her before, but now you do. Remember her name from now on, she’ll be your nightmare.”
“Stop with the nonsense about cheating. She’s a genuine top student. If you envy her, don’t spread rumors. Take part in a fair competition in the exam room. You’re welcome to challenge Ming Jing’s position in the next exam.”
In the crowd, a boy lowered his voice: “Song Yinzhang, this girl is too arrogant. You have to surpass her next time and get back at her.”
A young man with a slender figure and gold-rimmed glasses stood in the crowd, looking cultured. He replied indifferently: “There are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.”o
Ming Jing couldn’t stand it any longer and walked away from the crowd, Tao Xingxing immediately followed her, “Don’t think I’m overstepping, but I know how these people are really like. They look down on us from Class 8. They spread even worse rumors behind our backs. We must take the initiative and suppress them. At the very least, they won’t dare bother you for a while.”
Ming Jing glanced at her with a smile: “Thank you for considering so much for me. But now that you’ve made that statement, what if I don’t get first place next time?
“Impossible.” Tao Xingxing didn’t hesitate at all.
“I trust your abilities. If you don’t get the first place next time, I’ll write my name backwards.”
“But the biggest threat might be Song Yinzhang. Before you came, he always ranked first. He’s never dropped from first place since junior high. This time, he scored only two points less than you. Close call. All in all, he’s a formidable opponent.”
The biggest news in school today was Ming Jing, who once again became the center of attention for the entire school.
The old posts in the forum were brought up again. “GaoShanLiuShui” “@” “Zuimeng Jinghua”: “Remember the bet we made last time? Do I need to remind you? Be a good sport and save face.”
The replies were all about adding fuel to the fire.
——1 remember the bet was that the loser had to run ten laps wearing underwear on the playground, right?
Playing dead? If you’re not admitting, then don’t brag. Coward.
—Maybe they’re busy picking out underwear, haha.
Until noon, this “Zuimeng Jinghua” kept playing dead. If he doesn’t show up this time, he won’t have the face to show up again. People were laughing at him on the forum and QQgroup.
At noon, there was a disturbance in the cafeteria.
Students stopped eating to watch the drama unfold.
“Oh my god, the mysterious administrator @’ed ‘Zuimeng Jinghua’ and threatened to expose his real identity. The internet is not a place for bragging, people should be responsible for their words and actions, even if they are hidden behind the screen. The administrator is righteous, they should weed out all those who spew foul language and stir trouble anonymously.”
“Haha, if ‘Zuimeng Jinghua’ doesn’t show up now, the administrator will expose their account. It’ll be even more embarrassing. It’s better to be proactive and save some face.”
Tao Xingxing looked at her phone excitedly and said: “I’ve got to see who this
Zuimeng Jinghua is. Pretending to be mysterious in front of your boss Tao? Good job, Mr. Administrator. You too, GaoShanLiuShui.”
Ming Jing sat across from a boy who broke into a big grin: “Ming Jing, just sit back and enjoy the show.”
Ming Jing seemed not to hear, just eating her meal quietly.
Charles Gao touched his nose, he really liked her calm demeanor, so charming.
“It’s happening! There’s someone running on the playground wearing underwear, and it’s so exciting.” Someone shouted in the cafeteria, and all the students rushed out to watch.
Photos were already posted on the forum, and Tao Xingxing laughed loudly when she saw them, holding up her phone in front of Ming Jing. “You’ve got to see this guy wearing Peppa Pig underwear, it’s hilarious.” Ming Jing glanced at the image impassively and left with her tray. Charles Gao took a look and frowned, his brows scrunching as if to kill a fly.
“Son of a b* *** pulling this kind of switcheroo on me..”
