Zhiwen and Zhiwu performed well in the exams this time, making Sun Lixia proud. Seeing Zhaodi's troubled face, she couldn't help but revel in another's misfortune and asked, "Zhaodi, did you do poorly on your exam and now you're afraid to go home?"
Her casual remark guessed more than half of the situation correctly.
All semester, Zhaodi had been preoccupied with trying to get close to Shen Qingming and curry favor with his parents, neglecting her studies.
As a result, her grades had dropped significantly in the final exams, earning her only second place in her class and fifth in her grade.
When she received her report card, she could hardly believe she had regressed that much!
She sat in the classroom, thoroughly reviewing her test papers, going over them again and again, even suspecting that the teacher had marked them incorrectly and deducted too many points.
