Chapter 42 - A Foregone Conclusion: Zero Points on the Exam

After Teacher Cheng Rongyi Lang announced that Da Xiong had once again scored zero, Pang Hu and Xiao Fu, those best-friend tormentors, immediately started their usual mocking.

They unleashed a barrage of merciless teasing at Da Xiong.

There was nothing to be done; this guy was like he was under a curse. He always managed to score zero on every exam. It was truly impressive.

Besides Pang Hu and Xiao Fu, many other classmates were whispering amongst themselves.

"Ahem... Class, please quiet down!"

Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Teacher Cheng Rongyi Lang had to intervene to maintain order.

"Takegawa Takeshi, Suneo Honekawa, although you two scored above sixty, you barely passed. This is not enough; you need to work harder, understand?"

To make an example of them, I, Teacher Cheng Rongyi Lang, could only call out Pang Hu and Xiao Fu, who had made the loudest mockery of Da Xiong just now, to warn them.

"Understood, Teacher..."

"I will continue to work hard, Teacher..."

No matter how arrogant Pang Hu and Xiao Fu were in front of Da Xiong, they were still relatively well-behaved in front of the school teacher.

"Alright, next, I'll announce everyone's scores. Please come up to the podium to collect your test papers when your name is called."

At first, before the scores were announced, Jing Xiang was still a little apprehensive.

Because when she was doing the test papers before, there were a few questions where she wasn't quite sure of the correct answers.

Now that the test papers were handed out, Jing Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. As a model student in the class, she cared a lot about her grades.

Of course, besides herself, her parents at home also cared about her test scores.

Gradually, this formed a family atmosphere that emphasized learning, which was the main reason why Jing Xiang was concerned about her grades.

However, the biggest dark horse in this exam had to be Lin Feng, who had just transferred.

Although Lin Feng had previously shown amazing talent in painting, what was somewhat unexpected was that his academic grades were also so excellent.

You know, getting a perfect score isn't that easy.

In this exam, there were quite a few students in the class who scored over ninety points, but only Lin Feng, Jing Xiang, and Chu Mu Shan got a perfect score.

After all the scores were handed out, Teacher Cheng Rongyi Lang also gave a round of criticism and education to the students who scored particularly low.

Especially Da Xiong, who usually scored zero on tests, was once again held up as an example and repeatedly criticized.

But in the end, it was just those same old words, expressing disappointment.

Maybe during the scolding, Da Xiong would feel some remorse, regretting that he hadn't studied hard.

But after that, if you asked him to study well and review his lessons, this guy would give up on himself and ultimately become the ultimate slacker, just complaining about everything.

After criticizing the students who scored low, I, Teacher Cheng Rongyi Lang, could only adjust my mood slightly and continue the lesson. I couldn't let the learning time of other students be affected by some zero-scoring guys.

The morning classes ended quickly.

After lunch, Lin Feng didn't take out his drawing paper like he did yesterday.

Staying up late for several days to rush the manuscript had indeed made him feel a bit physically worn out.

So today, Lin Feng planned to take a good rest and relax during the lunch break.

Originally, Pang Hu and Xiao Fu wanted to come and see Lin Feng's drawings again like yesterday, but after seeing that Lin Feng didn't seem to have that intention, they had to give up.

Meanwhile, Da Xiong's mood was extremely depressed after being reprimanded by the teacher.

At the same time, he couldn't figure out why Lin Feng was so outstanding.

It was one thing for him to be super good at drawing comics, but how could his overall academic performance also be so excellent? Wasn't that a bit too much?

Thinking this in his heart, Da Xiong's gaze couldn't help but turn towards Lin Feng.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't looked.

This glance made Da Xiong see a scene that made him somewhat uncomfortable and disheartened.

A classmate had just opened the door and brought in a gust of cool wind. Jing Xiang, who was sitting next to Lin Feng, was in good spirits today, so she didn't want to take a nap and was instead planning to read a book.

Feeling the cool breeze, Jing Xiang was worried that Lin Feng, who was resting on his desk, would catch a cold. So, she gently draped the jacket Lin Feng had taken off and placed on the back of his chair over him.

It was originally a casual gesture.

But in Da Xiong's eyes, it took on a different meaning.

For Da Xiong, who was prone to jealousy, Jing Xiang's actions towards Lin Feng seemed a little too intimate.

Even though it was just putting Lin Feng's own jacket on him, the gentle and considerate act made Da Xiong feel somewhat envious.

Adding to this, Da Xiong had scored zero on his test and had been scolded by the teacher, leaving him feeling even more defeated.

Compared to Lin Feng, who was excellent at drawing manga and had perfect scores in all subjects, he seemed to be truly useless.

What if!

What if Jing Xiang ended up liking Lin Feng because of this?

Chu Mu Shan was a good example.

Before Lin Feng arrived, Da Xiong had always considered Chu Mu Shan his biggest rival.

But now, it seemed he had another competitor...

And compared to Chu Mu Shan, Lin Feng seemed to be even more outstanding?

Even though the two of them didn't seem to have anything going on right now, what about later?

Thinking about this, Da Xiong felt quite conflicted.

He had invited Lin Feng to his house as a guest just yesterday and enthusiastically introduced him to Doraemon. But today, seeing Jing Xiang's particularly gentle care for Lin Feng, Da Xiong felt a bit uncomfortable.

This contradictory feeling persisted until the end of the lunch break, and Da Xiong was still incredibly tangled.

On the one hand, he did feel that Lin Feng's comics were very good-looking, but on the other hand, he didn't want Lin Feng to get too close to Jing Xiang.

It was really difficult to handle.

After resting for a while, Lin Feng woke up from his nap.

It must be said that after resting at noon, a person's spirits could indeed recover very well.

But just as Lin Feng was about to get up, he suddenly realized there seemed to be some weight on his back. His jacket had been placed there.

If he remembered correctly, before his nap, he had taken off his jacket because he felt a little hot and put it on the chair.
