This caused Class D, which could have been ranked fourth, to instantly fall to the last place in the cohort.

The homeroom teacher and her classmates had ugly expressions on their faces. Many of the female classmates who were usually on good terms with Bai Yao had worried expressions as they probed, “Yaoyao, were you feeling unwell that day, so you handed in a blank paper?”

Although that was the case, many people had witnessed Bai Yao falling outside the examination hall that day. Bai Yao must have taken the exam. However, why did she score zero? The reason behind this made people suspicious.

Bai Yao did not know why things had turned out this way. She was at a loss as she hurriedly picked up another report card that listed the results of the entire grade. When she saw the names of the first and fifth place, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. In an instant, she seemed to understand something.

The homeroom teacher looked at Bai Yao with a complicated expression. He patted the podium to signal the students to be quiet. Then, with a solemn expression, he told them the results of the principal’s punishment. “Because Bai Yao violated the exam rules this time, the school has decided to cancel all her results and give her demerit points. We have to take this as a warning in the future.”

He was already very reserved with his speech.

After all, it was impossible for the school to cover up for Bai Yao this time. After today, the entire school would definitely announce it. At that time, everyone would know that Bai Yao had violated the rules. However, the form teacher did not intend to elaborate on how she had violated the rules.

He had already discussed it with the principal. In order to preserve Bai Yao’s last shred of dignity, he had decided not to reveal the entire truth. He only wanted to give her a small punishment and hope that she could turn over a new leaf in the future.

Bai Yao was stunned as she watched the teacher announce the results on the podium. A buzzing sound entered her mind, and all the surrounding noises suddenly disappeared.

She watched as the teacher’s mouth opened and closed, but she could not hear what the teacher was saying at all. She could only see her classmates’ shocked or disdainful gazes, and her face suddenly turned red.

Her deskmate carefully handed her a tissue and comforted her softly, “Yaoyao, don’t cry. If you work hard next time, you can still get first place in the class!”

Bai Yao suddenly turned her head and glared at her fiercely. Only then did she realize that her face was wet. She covered her face and ran out of the classroom sobbing. Bai Yao’s first reaction was to find Shi Man to ask her about it.

Fortunately, the form teacher pulled her back in time. He brought her back to the office with a cold expression and handed her a tissue. “Wipe your face first. What do you look like?”

Bai Yao’s hands trembled as she wiped away the tears on her face. With a trembling voice, she asked, “Do all the teachers know?”

“Yes.” The form teacher frowned in frustration and smacked his lips. “Shi Man invited a handwriting expert from the city, Wen Yang. Even the principal has to be polite. It’s not appropriate for me to say anything in person, but I’ll still try my best to help you hide it from your classmates.”

Bai Yao was usually a well-behaved and sensible student in school. She was a good student who studied hard. The teachers liked her very much. They were also very shocked that something like this had happened.

However, apart from being shocked, he still hoped that Bai Yao could return to the right path. Even if she was unwilling to accept Shi Man and Su Tang, she could not take advantage of the situation and frame her classmates.

Bai Yao thanked her teacher softly. Her tear-stained face made one’s heart ache.

The teacher comforted her. He knew that she didn’t want to go back to her class to see anyone, so he told her to sit in the office for a while. After everything was settled, he would come back and tell Bai Yao to pack her things.

Bai Yao naturally thanked him profusely. She sat alone in her office, staring at the ranking list on her computer in a daze.

In the corridor, Su Tang followed Shi Man and walked at the front of the team. She shook her arm happily. “Man Man, it’s all thanks to you that we were able to avert danger this time. I didn’t expect you to be so powerful to be able to invite Elder Wen!”

Shi Man smiled nonchalantly and said in a light tone, “He used to be Mom’s teacher. This time, it’s indeed all thanks to him. I know that you admire his attainments in painting and calligraphy. Next time, I’ll get Mom to invite him over for a meal so he can give you some pointers.”

“Okay, okay!” Su Tang was so happy that the corners of her mouth were about to reach her ears. She was like a little girl who had finally eaten her favorite candy and was very easily satisfied.

Shi Man was infected by her smile and subconsciously smiled as well. She patted her head dotingly.

Chen Wei did not know what the two of them were talking about. He leaned over curiously and asked, “Sister Man, who is this Old Wen? Is he very powerful?”

At the mention of this, Su Tang, who was originally shy and talking to others, suddenly pulled a long face and explained in all seriousness, “Hes the famous calligraphy and painting master in the city and expert in the field of technology, Wen Yang, Teacher Wen!”

Chen Wei’s eyes widened. When he thought of the scene he saw through the window, he hurriedly exclaimed, “So that’s really Elder Wen. I thought I was mistaken, but why did he come to our school? Why didn’t the principal organize a welcome ceremony for him?”

Shi Man pursed her lips and smiled mysteriously. She pushed open the office door and looked at the girl who had obviously just cried inside. A glint flashed across her eyes. “You’ll know soon..”
