Without providing a clear disciplinary notice, many people speculated whether Lu Zhuan suffered because of his relationship with Zhou Ciyuan’s father. As a result, people began to feel sympathy when they looked at Lu Zhuan.
“I… I’m transferring schools.” Because just now, facing so many people who stopped Jiang Heng, Lu Zhuan’s face turned a bit red. His condition was not good, and it was evident that Zhou Ciyuan’s actions had a significant impact on him.
Previously, there were many people at the stairwell, so the two found an empty hallway. Jiang Heng leaned against the wall, not looking very serious. He never liked such situations, but with so many people just now, he couldn’t directly brush off Lu Zhuan’s face.
“Congratulations,” Jiang Heng thought for a moment, adjusting his expression.
Lu Zhuan bit his lip and glanced at him, “For the previous matter, thank you… I’ve been in the hospital for the past two days, and I haven’t had a chance to express my gratitude like this.” Jiang Heng was taken aback, and this… suddenly worked so well?
Since the other party had reached out a helping hand, he had no reason to refuse. Very naturally, he placed his hand on Shen Huai’s arm and climbed up with his strength.
Not a bit embarrassed.
A delicate Omega needs to rely on the strength of an Alpha!
As soon as the monthly exams arrived, the teachers at Yizhong (One Middle School) had no rest days, spending the entire weekend grading papers. After the weekend, the exam results were out.
On Monday morning, as Jiang Heng entered the school, he saw a group of people gathered around the school’s bulletin board.
“Awesome, expelled directly? Damn!”
“Thanks to the country’s protection of us Omegas! Prince Zhou’s father was actually dismissed too. The school really did well in this regard.”
“The last incident with Shen Huai, did the school handle it well?”
“Are you out of your mind? Lin Lan created her own troubles. What, does she still expect others to take the blame for her? Ridiculous.”
“Can you discuss something else? Let us see the results, okay?”
Disciplinary notices for Zhou Ciyuan and the monthly exam scores were released simultaneously.
Jiang Heng stood behind a group of people for a while, and He Ci, who had already squeezed into the front row, saw him and waved in his direction among the crowd, “Jiang Heng! You’re not last!”
Jiang Heng: “…?”
What was there to celebrate?
Was He Ci an idiot?
Jiang Heng squeezed in with a blank expression. The first thing he saw was Shen Huai topping the list in the sophomore class. The scores were stable, exceeding the second-place by a whopping 20 points – a true academic overachiever.
“Your Alpha is really strong. This score has been consistently high since middle school,” He Ci mentioned, having heard rumors about Shen Huai from his middle school days.
Upon hearing his address, Jiang Heng raised an eyebrow, “Shut up.”
He then looked for his own name towards the end. Not bad, fourth from the bottom in the grade, total score barely reaching three digits. He inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, at least it wasn’t single digits in every subject. Thinking this way, when he returned to the classroom, his mood improved.
Whether it was due to today’s release of the monthly exam scores or not, Shen Huai arrived relatively early.
When Jiang Heng returned to his seat, he saw his new desk mate looking down at something, seeming to be enrollment preferences or something similar.
Jiang Heng blinked, “Class monitor, is this… for early enrollment?”
We’re only in the first semester of the second year of high school, isn’t it too early?
Indeed, Shen Huai’s grades were excellent, and with such scores, numerous higher education institutions were eagerly awaiting him. Moreover, being an Alpha, many schools had additional scoring policies for Alphas and Omegas.
“Hmm?” Shen Huai seemed to have just noticed him entering, “Yes.”
“After the end of the third year, there will be a mock exam after the lunar new year, and early enrollment will start. Many schools have already sent their brochures.”
Jiang Heng uttered a surprised “Oh.”
So, he would be leaving after the second year of high school?
As if sensing his misunderstanding, Shen Huai lightly smiled, “The school is just giving me some options.”
“I think it’s better to take the national college entrance exam.”
Jiang Heng felt like Shen Huai was intentionally explaining to him, and he stiffened for a moment, “Why go for early enrollment when you can aim for a good score in the national exam?”
“Studying all day is very tiring.”
“If I could enroll early, I would definitely go first. With my grades, I wonder if any blind school would be willing to admit me out of the regular process.”
“There are some.” Shen Huai looked at him for a moment, a hint of a smile in his eyes. “Haven’t you been studying well?”
“I saw your exam scores from before in Distant City. You’ve already made a lot of progress.”
Jiang Heng was about to ask, “How do you know about my previous scores?” when he suddenly remembered that the other party had seen all of his information.
He pursed his lips, thinking about how Xie An had shown his grades to Shen Huai. Wouldn’t Shen Huai’s parents think he was quite foolish? A slacker paired with a top student didn’t seem cool at all. He, seemingly in a fit of self-abandonment, slammed the books onto his head, experiencing the genuine pain of being a slacker, more painful than not being able to skip class.
“I, well, submitted a blank paper,” he admitted quite candidly.
“Well, that’s progress too. At least you didn’t submit a blank paper,” Shen Huai responded with an attitude that could be praised in any way. This made Jiang Heng suddenly feel uplifted, and he became a bit embarrassed, “Class monitor, did you eat some candy today or something?”
He asked sincerely, “Why are you so sweet…?” After saying this, he clicked his tongue lightly, “Even sweeter than me, doesn’t seem right, does it?”
A sweet Alpha? A tender little Omega? Not bad at all, Jiang Heng marveled inwardly.
Upon hearing his words, Shen Huai couldn’t help but smile wryly. After a while, he spoke softly, as if consoling, “Eat more sweets, you’ll be even sweeter.”
