“Is what you said true, Jingjing?” Wei Ling wiped her tears and asked.
“Yes, we’ll always be best friends.” Tan Jing nodded.
Wei Ling looked at Zhao Ru. “But what Zhao Ru said just now made me sad.”
He Ling urged Zhao Ru, “Zhao Ru, apologize to Wei Ling. She is our friend. You can’t talk about her like that.”
Zhao Ru calmed down. Seeing that both of them were defending Wei Ling, she didn’t say anything else. She apologized to Wei Ling, “I’m sorry, Wei Ling. I was too angry and said the wrong things.”
After hearing Zhao Ru’s apology, Wei Ling wiped her tears and smiled. “Alright, it’s okay. We’re still good friends.” She had long since stopped caring about their friendship, as they had never treated her as a friend.
Zhao Ru and He Ling were Tan Jing’s followers. If they stood on the opposite side of Tan Jing, they would not hesitate to attack her. Since that was the case, they should not be friends anymore.
…..
All of this was seen by Li Li. She quietly said to Tan Rou, “Why do I feel that this Wei Ling is acting strange? Why isn’t she protecting Tan Jing like before?”
“Maybe she’s become smarter and doesn’t want to be someone else’s follower anymore.” Tan Rou looked at Wei Ling, who was smiling.
“It must be the punishment that woke her up.” Li Li guessed.
Tan Rou told her not to care about such boring things anymore. “Just ignore them. Just focus on the physics compet.i.tion. The results will be out today. Maybe you’ll get in.”
Li Li smiled. “How is that possible? My physics results aren’t the best.”
“Believe in yourself. Your results aren’t that bad,” Tan Rou encouraged her.
The second period was physics cla.s.s. The physics teacher had a kind smile on his face. As soon as he entered, he said, “Oh my, all my dear students here are amazing. You guys are really outstanding.”
“Rourou, do you think I’ll be on the list?” Li Li was very nervous.
Tan Rou teased her on purpose. “Didn’t you say that you had no hope?”
Li Li bit her lips. “One should still have some dreams.” However, she also knew that her chances were not high. There were only three spots. No matter how she thought about it, she would not be one of them.
The physics teacher seemed to have heard what Li Li was thinking. He announced, “Due everyone performed very well in this selection, after discussion by the Education Bureau and the major schools, it has been decided to increase the quota for each school to five. This will give more students a chance to showcase themselves.”
Li Li’s hands trembled when she heard that the quota had increased. “Rourou, do you think I’ll be included?”
Tan Rou patted her hand. “Calm down. We’ll just listen to the teacher.”
“Let’s start from fifth place.” The physics teacher took out the name list. “Let’s congratulate Li Li from our cla.s.s for getting fifth place.”
Li Li jumped up. “Oh my G.o.d! I got fifth!!!”
Tan Rou quickly pulled her to sit down. “We’re still in cla.s.s.”
The physics teacher also asked her to sit down quickly so that she wouldn’t disturb the other students. Li Li sat down with a red face. She was very happy. She didn’t expect herself to get such good results.
“She’s only ranked fifth. What’s there to be happy about?” He Ling said sarcastically.
“I know right.” Zhao Ru agreed. “It’s not like he’s the first place. Why are you so happy?”
“What place would you two get?” Wei Ling sneered and asked innocently.
The two looked at each other and said in unison, “Jingjing is definitely better than her.”
Wei Ling turned her back to them and rolled her eyes. They couldn’t even get fifth place, how could they have the face to criticize others?
The physics teacher continued announcing the results for the physics compet.i.tion. Xu Yan was in fourth place, and Tan Jing was in third place.
Tan Jing’s palms were sweating profusely. The questions were very difficult. Even though she had tried her best, there was still a big question that she had not finished. She was already very satisfied that she could get third place.
The second place was Lu Qing, which was within everyone’s expectations. However, the physics teacher didn’t mention the name in the first place. Instead, he started talking nonsense.
“First place!” The physics teacher suddenly raised his voice. “Tan Rou! Who scored full marks!”
The moment the full score was announced, the whole cla.s.s was in an uproar. This was a countrywide physics compet.i.tion. In all these years, there had never been a student who could get full marks for it!
Tan Rou sat calmly in her seat. She had already calculated her score in her heart. Moreover, she was already informed about it so there was no need to be surprised.
Tan Jing’s expression changed. How could Tan Rou get full marks? However, she still had a way to deal with Tan Rou.
After the physics teacher finished talking about the results, the cla.s.s began. He told the students to only discuss about it after his cla.s.s..
