âso sheâs ming jing.â
âher figure is so good, tall and thin. even the school uniform looks good on her. â
âi always feel thereâs something odd about her hairâ¦â
âhey, are you guys missing the point here? weâre supposed to be discussing her grades, not her looks.â
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 âming jingâ 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 gradeâs honor roll, one of them proudly led the board, which was a great humiliation for those top students in class 1.
âwhatâs her background? sheâs so amazing!â
âdid she cheat? itâs not like this kind of thing hasnât happened before. i think the teachers should check, otherwise itâs unfair to everyone else.â
âis it that hard to admit that sheâs outstanding?â suddenly, a loud voice came from the crowd. tao xingxing pushed through the people and pointed at a boy with glasses: âyou, yes you, say what you just said again.â
the boy who was named hesitated for a moment. seeing that everyone was looking at him, his face flushed red, and he said defiantly: âsheâs a nobody from class 8 who got first place in the whole grade. does she think weâre all stupid? she didnât even try to hide her cheating.â
tao xingxing walked up to him, looked him up and down: âyou look like a decent person, but your mouth stinks. did you just eat shit?âo
the boy was humiliated and his face turned purple with anger. he pointed at
tao xingxingâs nose: âyouâ¦youâ¦â
tao xingxing slapped his hand away and spat: âyou what? either bring out the evidence or shut your stinking mouth.âo
tao xingxing walked around the open space in the crowd, with calm ming jing at the center. she glanced at everyone and said loudly: âfrom today on, youâll know the name ming jing. of course, she just transferred here a little over a month ago, so you didnât know her before, but now you do. remember her name from now on, sheâll be your nightmare.â
âstop with the nonsense about cheating. sheâs a genuine top student. if you envy her, donât spread rumors. take part in a fair competition in the exam room. youâre welcome to challenge ming jingâs position in the next exam.â
in the crowd, a boy lowered his voice: âsong yinzhang, this girl is too arrogant. you have to surpass her next time and get back at her.â
a young man with a slender figure and gold-rimmed glasses stood in the crowd, looking cultured. he replied indifferently: âthere are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.âo
ming jing couldnât stand it any longer and walked away from the crowd, tao xingxing immediately followed her, âdonât think iâm 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 wonât dare bother you for a while.â
ming jing glanced at her with a smile: âthank you for considering so much for me. but now that youâve made that statement, what if i donât get first place next time?
âimpossible.â tao xingxing didnât hesitate at all.
âi trust your abilities. if you donât get the first place next time, iâll write my name backwards.â
âbut the biggest threat might be song yinzhang. before you came, he always ranked first. heâs never dropped from first place since junior high. this time, he scored only two points less than you. close call. all in all, heâs a formidable opponent.â
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. âgaoshanliushuiâ â@â âzuimeng jinghuaâ: âremember the bet we made last time? do i need to remind you? be a good sport and save face.â
the replies were all about adding fuel to the fire.
ââ1 remember the bet was that the loser had to run ten laps wearing underwear on the playground, right?
playing dead? if youâre not admitting, then donât brag. coward.
âmaybe theyâre busy picking out underwear, haha.
until noon, this âzuimeng jinghuaâ kept playing dead. if he doesnât show up this time, he wonât 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.
âoh my god, the mysterious administrator @âed âzuimeng jinghuaâ 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.â
âhaha, if âzuimeng jinghuaâ doesnât show up now, the administrator will expose their account. itâll be even more embarrassing. itâs better to be proactive and save some face.â
tao xingxing looked at her phone excitedly and said: âiâve 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.â
ming jing sat across from a boy who broke into a big grin: âming jing, just sit back and enjoy the show.â
ming jing seemed not to hear, just eating her meal quietly.
charles gao touched his nose, he really liked her calm demeanor, so charming.
âitâs happening! thereâs someone running on the playground wearing underwear, and itâs so exciting.â 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. âyouâve got to see this guy wearing peppa pig underwear, itâs hilarious.â 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.
âson of a b* *** pulling this kind of switcheroo on me..â
