After Zhou Ying arranged a seat for Ye Tian, she left the classroom.

Ye Tian went to the last row to pack her things.

“Tiantian, are you really changing seats?” An Rui grabbed Ye Tian’s hand reluctantly.

Ye Tian held An Rui’s hand and comforted her with a smile. “I only sat in front. We can still go to the small store and go to the washroom together after class.”

An Rui did not know what Ye Tian had experienced, but seeing that Ye Tian was still willing to go to the small store and go to the washroom with her, An Rui could only nod. “Alright, but I still have to trouble you if there’s anything I don’t understand!”

“You’re welcome anytime.”

An Rui smiled and let go of Ye Tian’s hand.

Ye Tian put her bag on the chair and started to tidy up the books on her desk.

Gu Yang put down the pen in her hand and looked at Ye Tian. Ye Tian felt his gaze and did not look up, only focusing on packing her things.

She was almost done packing and was about to leave with her bag when a slender and fair hand reached over and grabbed her bag strap.

Ye Tian tried to pull it away but could not.

“About the weekend, I…” Gu Yang said, her voice not as lazy as usual. It was slightly hoarse as she stared at her quietly. “Let’s talk outside.”

Her lips pursed slightly and her sweet face was serious and cold. She looked up at Gu Yang. “There’s nothing to say. You’re playing a game and I’m just joking. You’re not in my consideration.”

With that said, she tugged at the strap of her bag.

His grip on the strap of her bag was rather strong and the veins on his hand were slightly protruding.

She wanted to pull him over, but he held on tightly and they were in a stalemate for a few seconds.

The surrounding air seemed to have frozen.

But in the end, he let go of her bag.

The tip of her tongue touched the back of her teeth and she laughed.

Ye Tian did not look at him again. She carried her bag and walked quickly to the front.

In the following days, Ye Tian did not say anything to Gu Yang.

Even when their eyes met occasionally in the classroom, she quickly looked away.

She thought that by putting some distance between them, she would be able to calm herself down.

But she found it difficult to be calm and could not return to her heartless state.

For example, during class, the teacher would criticize the people sleeping in class. Gu Yang was one of them and she could not help but turn back.

Another example was during physical education class, when he was playing basketball with someone, she would also be attracted by the tall figure running on the court.

Another example was when a girl in another class had a crush on him, she would secretly see what that girl looked like.

Ye Tian felt that she was hopeless.

If this continued, could she still graduate from high school?

In order to calm herself down completely, she felt that she could only leave the first class.

So, during the mid-term examination, she submitted blank papers for several subjects.

After the results came out, she fell from first place in class to last.

Gu Yang and the rest had improved under Zhou Li’s guidance.

Not only was Zhou Ying shocked when she saw that she had fallen from first place to last place in class.

Zhou Ying saw that Ye Tian had blank papers for several subjects. Even if it was not a blank paper, she had only done the multiple choice questions at the front and had not touched any of the big questions at the back.

It was obvious that she did not want to do well.

Zhou Ying called Ye Tian to her office.

Looking at Ye Tian’s paper, Zhou Ying slammed the table. “I want to hear your explanation.”

She definitely did not do these papers on purpose.

“You have to know that doing your best and not doing well is one thing, but not doing it on purpose is another.” Zhou Ying looked at the slender and sweet girl in front of her and could not get angry. She could only be patient. “Give me a reasonable explanation.”

Ye Tian pursed her lips. “Teacher Zhou, I want to change shifts.”

When Zhou Ying heard this, she frowned. “Class One is the best class in Nanli and has the best teachers. The other students want to come in, but you want to go out?”

Ye Tian nodded. “Yes.”

Zhou Ying said, “Call your parents over. I’ll talk to them.”

“Teacher Zhou, I want to transfer out.” Ye Tian pursed her pink lips, her attitude unprecedentedly firm. “If I don’t want to do well, it’s the same even if my parents come.”

Zhou Ying did not expect that the usually obedient and motivated Ye Tian would change so much. She was about to say something when the Year Head came in.

“She deliberately handed in blank papers with a bad plot. This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated. Teacher Zhou, according to the grades, Ye Tian can’t stay in Class One.”

Zhou Ying looked at the Year Head and wanted to fight for Ye Tian, but she heard Ye Tian say, “Let’s do as Chief Liu says!”

….

The news of Ye Tian being assigned to another class caused quite a stir.

Some were in disbelief, some were sympathetic and some were gloating.

“I thought she was really a top student, but she’s a fake top student!”

“Even Gu Yang has improved this time, but she has plummeted. God, if I were her, I wouldn’t have the face to stay in Nanli!”

“But did something happen to her? If not, why did her results drop so much?”

“Don’t you think Gu Yang hasn’t spoken to her recently? Did Gu Yang dump her?”

Ye Tian did not care about the gossip and silently packed her school supplies. Under An Rui’s tears, she carried her bag and left the classroom.

An Rui chased after her and grabbed Ye Tian’s hand, her eyes filled with tears. “Tiantian, I know my ability. Teacher Zhou also knows that if you talk to Teacher Zhou properly, you might not be assigned to Class One!”

“It’s my own decision.”

“Then do well in the next exam. I’ll wait for you to return to Class One!”

….

Ye Tian was assigned to the fifth class and was depressed for a period of time.

Later, her family found out and took turns to talk to her.

Nan Zhi even invited Bo Cixue to her house to have a heart-to-heart talk. After talking to Bo Cixue, Ye Tian thought it through.

Was it really worth it to leave the best class and become the joke of the year just to escape from someone?

After thinking it through, Ye Tian felt enlightened.

She promised her family that she would get into Class One again next semester and would not let them worry.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the term.

When the final exam results were announced, Ye Tian’s name returned to the top of the cohort.

Even Zhou Li was five points behind her.

Seeing that Ye Tian had returned to first place, An Rui was the happiest.

She ran back to Class One and said excitedly and proudly, “Who said that Tiantian is weak? It’s a slap in the face!”

Shen Mingxiu lay on Gu Yang’s seat and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Ye Tian had gotten first place again. “I’m relieved to see the top student, Ye Yang, return to his peak. Oh my, I really shouldn’t have asked you to call her when we played the pure friendship test on the street last time!”
