Chu Yu put his report card in his book and went to greet the homeroom teacher.

While he was there, Old Ye praised him again. The English teacher was also there. Chu Yu was in a trance. He felt like he was the shining star in the sky.

When he came out of the office, Chu Yu saw Lu Shi waiting at the door with his hands in his pockets.

"I'll go with you."

Chu Yu thought that he had been to the Dean's office several times and was familiar with the place. He really didn't need to accompany him.

However, he saw that Lu Shi had already started walking out. He followed him. Perhaps, Lu Shi had something to discuss with the Head of Teaching?

The weather was gloomy. The clouds were very thick and there was no sunlight.

However, Chu Yu was in a good mood. He couldn't stop talking to Lu Shi along the way.

"I didn't expect to get 199th place!

I couldn't even dream of getting such a high score. "Chu Yu knew very well. He smiled at Lu Shi." Thank you! "

Lu Shi looked straight ahead and said calmly, "Thank me for what?"

With a smile in his light-colored eyes, Chu Yu began to count with his fingers. "The reading comprehension answer template, the language use answer template, the ancient poetry and prose fill-in-the-blank that you gave me, and the essay template, I used all of them!

Also, the mathematics, physics, and chemistry questions you picked out were all very accurate. One question, two questions, three questions. Almost every one of them looked very familiar. What kind of god are you? "

After he finished speaking, he bent down and looked up at Lu Shi's face with an exaggerated expression. "God Lu, why are you so amazing?"

Lu Shi took his hand out of his pocket and rubbed his hair. "Walk properly."

The two of them walked slowly to the Dean's office and found that the door was closed.

Chu Yu knocked on the door and went in. "Teacher, why are you looking for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yu saw two people sitting on the sofa on the left side of the office. They were Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe.

He remembered Fang Mingzhe, the one who sat in front of Guan Yiyang and loudly said that he wanted to be his uncle.

The smile on Chu Yu's face faded and he looked away. "Teacher, you were looking for me?"

The office wasn't big. Behind the dark brown solid wood desk was a bookshelf. There were many books such as "Adolescent Psychology," "Digest," and "Introduction to Educational Psychology."

Dark brown three-seater sofas were placed on both sides, serving as the reception area.

The Dean of Teaching was sitting behind his desk. When he saw Chu Yu enter, a kind smile appeared on his face. "Student Chu Yu, thank you for coming over. Sit."

Seeing Lu Shi come in with him, he said, "If you don't have anything urgent, you can go back to the classroom first and come to the office to look for me in the afternoon."

Chu Yu sat down on the sofa and said, "Lu Shi came with me."

"So that's how it is. Lu Shi, you sit down too."

After the two of them sat down, the Dean of Teaching cleared his throat. "I invited Student Chu Yu over to investigate something."

His expression became serious. "Two students reported that Chu Yu cheated in the monthly exam."

After hearing this, Chu Yu wasn't surprised at all. He looked calm and his gaze swept across the two people sitting across from him. He replied, "I didn't."

The Dean of Teaching looked at Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe. "Fang Mingzhe, repeat what you just said in front of Chu Yu."

Fang Mingzhe seemed a little uneasy. He shifted his seat slightly and glanced at Chu Yu sitting across from him. There was a hint of fear in his eyes, but he seemed to muster up his courage and said, "I … I couldn't sleep for the past two days because I felt guilty.

I shouldn't have done what I did, especially to those students who are serious about their studies and want to get good grades. It's too unfair. "

Chu Yu looked at Fang Mingzhe and asked, "What did you do to make you feel so guilty that you can't sleep?"

Fang Mingzhe's hands, which were resting on his thighs, suddenly clenched into fists. He didn't answer Chu Yu's question. Instead, he turned to the Dean of Teaching and said, "Teacher, I'm sorry!

I helped Chu Yu cheat in the exam. "

Chu Yu said, "Then why don't you tell me how you helped me cheat?"

Fang Mingzhe's tightly clenched fists started to tremble. "It was in the men's restroom. There were only the two of us at the time. You asked me if I could get into the top 50 in every exam.

I was right.

Then, then, then you asked me to send you the answers during the exam. "

Fang Mingzhe closed his eyes and said, "I didn't agree. I said that this wasn't good. The exam is about real ability and it's shameful to cheat.

But you said that if I didn't cooperate with you, you would … "

Chu Yu said, "What would I do to you?"

"Expel me from Jia Ning Private School!"

Fang Mingzhe looked at the Dean of Teaching and his lips trembled slightly. "Teacher, I was wrong. My family doesn't have much money. My dad is a taxi driver and my mom is a housewife. It wasn't easy for them to send me to Jia Ning Private School. I didn't want to be expelled …"

There were many such students in Jia Ning Private School.

Their family background was average or even not very good.

They gave up public school and came here to study because of the scholarships and free tuition fees provided by the school.

The Dean of Teaching frowned. "So you helped Chu Yu cheat?"

Fang Mingzhe bit his lower lip and nodded. "Yes."

He continued, "Chu Yu also said that I wouldn't be found out and that I didn't have to worry.

The invigilators in the last exam room weren't strict enough. I wouldn't be caught. "

"Okay."

The Dean of Teaching looked at Chu Yu again. "Student Chu Yu, do you have anything to say?"

Chu Yu's tone was flat. "Before this, I didn't say a word to this person."

Fang Mingzhe suddenly looked up at Chu Yu. He wanted to say something, but there was a flash of fear in his eyes and he kept his mouth shut.

"Chu Yu," Guan Yiyang, who was sitting next to Fang Mingzhe, said, "I know you're under a lot of pressure because of our bet.

You had no choice but to resort to other means to get good grades and save your face.

I'm sorry. That bet was too childish. I take it back.

But … "He looked at Chu Yu and advised sincerely," You can lose your face, but you can't lose your principles. Student Chu Yu, don't you think so? "

Chu Yu raised his chin. "What you're saying is that I was worried that I would lose the bet, so I threatened Fang Mingzhe to give me the answers during the exam?"

Guan Yiyang nodded his head.

Chu Yu laughed out loud. "Tsk, Guan Yiyang. Do you think you're so important that I would ask someone to help me cheat because of a bet that I didn't even accept?"

Guan Yiyang was provoked by Chu Yu's smile. He clenched the sofa with his hands that were hidden behind his back. He pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted on impulse and made you make a mistake."

As he spoke, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the Dean of Teaching believed him even more.

This kind of spoiled second-generation heir couldn't take any provocation.

In order to save face, he would definitely threaten someone to help him cheat.

Guan Yiyang felt the pleasure of revenge.

When the homeroom teacher read out Chu Yu's results, countless people looked at him.

Some were surprised, some were malicious, some were mocking, and some were waiting to see a joke.

He even heard some people say that now that Guan Yiyang had a new father, would it be changed to Chu Yiyang in the future?

Moreover, this new father was so rich. He wondered if he would give Guan Yiyang pocket money to improve his meals.

When he thought of this, Guan Yiyang felt a surge of sullen anger. He looked directly at the Dean of Teaching and said, "Teacher, do you believe that a person who has always been at the bottom of the grade since he entered the school and handed in blank papers for mathematics and physics would be able to improve by leaps and bounds overnight and enter the top 200 of the grade?"

His face was full of righteousness as he said, "I don't believe it. Many students don't believe it either!

We demand that the person who cheated be punished according to the school rules and that everyone be given a fair exam environment!

If Chu Yu can do whatever he wants just because he's the son of the school board's chairman and can't be punished, then what dignity and deterrence does the school have? "

As Chu Yu listened, he suddenly felt that Guan Yiyang wasn't that stupid after all.

Guan Yiyang obviously believed that he must have cheated to get such results, so he chose to expose him directly.

As for who exactly cooperated with him to cheat, this wasn't important.

What was important was to expose the fact that he had "cheated".

After that, he even hinted that if they didn't punish him for cheating, the school wouldn't be able to convince the public.

The Dean of Teaching was also considering this.

He felt that he understood Chu Yu quite well.

The Young Master of the Chu family was considered to have a good temper among the rich second and third generations. However, he had never taken his studies seriously, and his family didn't ask him to do so.

This time, he suddenly got such good results, and there was also the matter of the bet. There was indeed a high possibility that he had used unconventional means.

However, this matter wasn't easy to deal with. He had to take the Chu family's reputation into consideration.

He asked Fang Mingzhe, "Do you have evidence?"

This was subconsciously leaning towards Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe's explanation.

Fang Mingzhe shrunk his neck and looked fearful. "Chu Yu instructed us beforehand to delete all the answers immediately after they were sent to him in order to prevent any evidence from being exposed. Not a single word was left behind."

This was what Fang Mingzhe and Guan Yiyang had discussed. They were going to pour all the blame on Chu Yu.

The Dean of Teaching had seen many cases of cheating, so he would naturally help them fill in the details.

They would rather die than believe that a complete flunky could get to the 199th place in the cohort in just three weeks.

Even if he didn't cheat, he must have stolen the test papers and memorized the answers beforehand.

Once Chu Yu couldn't refute it, then this accusation would be confirmed.

At that time, even if the Dean of Teaching tried to downplay the matter, this news would still spread.

Chu Yu would lose for sure.

In a hidden corner, Fang Mingzhe and Guan Yiyang looked at each other and quickly looked away.

Chu Yu felt that this was meaningless.

Sure enough, when the school grew bigger, there would always be a few idiots.

He couldn't be bothered to deal with Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe. He looked directly at the Dean of Teaching. "These two students kept saying that I cheated, and I feel quite sorry about that.

It's easy for them to slander me, but it's also easy for me to prove myself. "

Guan Yiyang's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Then, he heard Chu Yu say,

"Doesn't the school have the B test papers?

Or we can let the teachers come up with the questions on the spot.

Give me the test papers. I'll take the test again right here in front of everyone. "

Chu Yu turned to Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe. There was obvious disdain in his eyes. "Look at my marks and see if they're real or fake."

Fang Mingzhe and Guan Yiyang sat on the sofa in shock. A layer of cold sweat appeared on their backs.

This was different from what they had expected!

The Dean of Teaching nodded. "Yes, this is a good idea.

Since Chu Yu is willing to cooperate, I'll ask the Teaching and Research Department to bring the B test papers over. "

"Sorry to trouble you, Teacher."

Chu Yu looked at Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe and smiled. "I just hope that after I finish the test papers, some students won't say that I peeked at the test papers and memorized the answers beforehand."

The Dean of Teaching waved his hand. "That's impossible. Because it's a spare test paper, only one copy was printed and sealed in a sealed bag.

It's not opened, so it's impossible for it to be leaked. "

Not long after, the test papers sealed in a kraft paper bag were sent over.

Chu Yu borrowed a pen from the Dean of Teaching. He used a book as a cushion and started to answer the questions.

The office was quiet.

During this time, the Dean of Teaching received two phone calls and did not leave.

When he finished the last major question, he heard footsteps approaching from outside the office.

The sound of high heels on the marble floor could be heard.

Soon, there was a knock on the office door. A young woman in a beige suit opened the door and stepped aside.

The Dean of Teaching quickly got up and greeted her respectfully. "Director Shi, sorry to trouble you to take the time out of your busy schedule to come here!"

Chu Yu's pen tip slid across the paper. With a "tss" sound, it went through the paper.

Chu Yu did not look up.

Until a familiar voice called his name. "Chu Yu."

Holding the transparent plastic stem of the black pen, Chu Yu looked up.

His mother, Shi Yaling, was wearing a white bow tie, a silk shirt, and a hand-tailored black suit jacket. She was standing at the door of the office and looking at him.

"Mom."

Chu Yu called out. He felt as if his voice was not his and he had lost control of himself.

He realized that he had not seen Shi Yaling for two to three months.

For a moment, there was a sense of unfamiliarity.

Shi Yaling looked at the Dean of Teaching. "Tell me the details."

The Dean of Teaching quickly told her the whole story in detail.

Initially, he thought that since Chu Yu's cheating was a matter of reputation, he would report it to Shi Yaling's secretary for safety reasons.

He did not expect Shi Yaling to come personally.

"Got it."

After Shi Yaling heard this, she looked at Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe, who were sitting on the sofa. "What gave you the confidence to go to such lengths to accuse Chu Yu of cheating?"

She did not look gentle. On the contrary, after being in a high position for a long time, she had a domineering and domineering aura.

Guan Yiyang's face turned pale, and Fang Mingzhe's breathing became erratic.

They did not expect the Dean of Teaching to be so afraid of trouble that he even invited Chu Yu's mother to the school!

Chu Yu looked at this scene and was not surprised.

His mother swore to protect him in front of outsiders because this was related to her and the Chu family's dignity.

Chu Yu lowered his head and finished the rest of the questions. Then, he raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I'm done."

The Dean of Teaching quickly took the math test paper, compared it with the standard answers, and started to mark it.

Soon, he announced the results. "Chu Yu scored 109 points on the math paper."

"Impossible!"

Fang Mingzhe suddenly said.

When he realized that all eyes were on him, he swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice, "Chu Yu … he can't possibly score so many points!

How could he possibly score so many points?

He must have cheated!

With his level, it's impossible! "

"Fang Mingzhe," the Dean of Teaching looked at Shi Yaling, who had a cold expression, and scolded Fang Mingzhe, "The facts have proven that Chu Yu finished this paper on the spot and scored 109 points!"

Fang Mingzhe wanted to argue, but Lu Shi, who had been inconspicuous all this time, suddenly said, "I just remembered that I overheard a private conversation in the sports equipment room a few days ago."

As soon as Lu Shi finished speaking, a recording sounded in the office.

"Did you get the questions?"

It was Guan Yiyang's voice.

Another male voice said, "I got it, I got it. F * ck, I was scared to death. Fortunately, my dad's habit of 20 years can't be changed. The key to the drawer was in the vase, and I found it.

Yi Yang, you should finish these papers first and memorize the answers.

Your grades are always unstable, but this time, don't drop the ball at the crucial moment!

Score high and stomp on that Chu guy. Let's see how arrogant those second-generation rich kids can be! "

"Okay, I know. There won't be a problem."

In the recording, Guan Yiyang laughed and said, "You're making a mountain out of a molehill. With Chu Yu's level, how many points can he score?"

Fang Mingzhe's voice was not as timid as before. He laughed and said, "That's hard to say. I heard that God Lu is tutoring Chu Yu. God Lu's ability to guess the key points of the questions is probably off the charts. So, to be safe, hurry up and finish the paper!"

The recording ended there.

"In this recording, one of them is Guan Yiyang, the other is Fang Mingzhe, and the other is the Dean's son, Shen Zhongming.

I bumped into them by chance and followed them sneakily. In the end, I recorded their conversation. "

Lu Shi's eyes were dark and cold. He sat on the sofa and stared at Guan Yiyang. "I'm suddenly very curious. Besides you, Shen Zhongming, and Fang Mingzhe, how many of you want to slander Chu Yu and stomp on him?"

The Dean of Teaching broke out in cold sweat.

He started to blame himself for thinking too highly of himself.

When Chu Yu was suspected of cheating, the first thing he thought of was to call Shi Yaling's assistant and give her a heads-up. After that, no matter what the result was, he would not be blamed for it.

Now that Shi Yaling was here, she heard with her own ears that her son was being ostracized and framed by his classmates.

"Director Shi —"

"This … Teacher Zhang," Shi Yaling said, "I think the matter is clear. As for how to deal with it, we can refer to the school rules."

She turned to Chu Yu, who was writing a physics paper, and said, "Come with me."

Chu Yu put down his pen and followed Shi Yaling out of the office. They entered the small empty conference room next door.

With a soft "bang", the door was closed.

Chu Yu's voice was dry, but he deliberately said in a relaxed tone, "Mom, why are you here?"

"There's a meeting at 11 o 'clock nearby. I happened to pass by your school."

"Okay. Even if you're busy, remember to eat lunch. Otherwise, your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

After saying this, Chu Yu's throat hurt.

He did not care that the Dean of Teaching suspected him and that Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe framed him.

After all, if he took these things to heart one by one, he would have been so angry that he would have died a sudden death.

Furthermore, if he didn't cheat, then he didn't cheat. Every point was scored by himself, so he was confident.

However, without the eyes of others, Chu Yu put down his composure and suddenly felt very wronged when he faced Shi Yaling.

"Mom, I didn't cheat.

In this monthly exam, I ranked 199th in the cohort and came in second in English. The homeroom teacher said — "

"Chu Yu."

Shi Yaling interrupted Chu Yu. She saw that his eyes were red and he looked a little wronged. She frowned and said, "I don't care what your results are like.

I don't care if you cheated in the exam or if there are any problems with your interpersonal relationships.

These are all your problems.

I don't want you to be like a weakling who can't even solve these small problems.

I'm very busy. I don't have the time to help you solve your problems or watch this immature and petty farce between minors. Do you understand? "

Chu Yu was stunned.

At this moment, his breathing tightened, and even his heart began to ache.

His fingers that were hanging by his side trembled. "Mom, I —"

He wanted to say, I didn't understand in the past, but now I do.

My monthly exam results have improved a lot. I study hard and I'm still very good.

I'm actually very smart. I can concentrate on my studies. For the past half a month, I haven't read a single page of comics.

So, can you not give up on me so easily?

Look at me.

Shi Yaling got up. Her silk shirt and white bow tie drew an arc. "I'll be leaving first."

Chu Yu lowered his head and did not say anything.

The sound of high heels on the floor echoed in the conference room.

He turned his head and looked at Shi Yaling's back. He called out in a hoarse voice, "Mom —"

Shi Yaling turned back and frowned. "Is there anything else?"

Chu Yu subconsciously clenched his fingers. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Nothing."

The door of the conference room was closed again.

It was quiet. There was no noise at all.

The leather seats surrounded the oval conference table. The lights were not turned on.

Chu Yu stood on the spot and looked at the dust particles floating up and down under the light. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curved upwards.

He suddenly felt that he was a joke.

Shi Yaling did not care at all whether he had really cheated or had been wronged and framed.

She also did not care how many marks he had scored, whether he had improved or regressed.

Her only request was that he be healthy, happy, and safe. She did not want him to encounter any danger, get into any trouble, or waste any of her time and energy.

She had completely given up on him a long time ago.

Chu Yu felt a little cold.

The coldness traveled up his spine and spread through his countless nerves, spreading to his entire body.

He slowly squatted on the ground and hugged himself. He felt that his fingers were stiff and even breathing was difficult.

There was no sunlight. The overwhelming coldness surged towards him.

The door of the conference room was pushed open and closed again.

It was the sound of light footsteps.

Chu Yu turned his head slowly and saw a person walking towards him against the light.

It was Lu Shi.

He stood in front of Chu Yu and saw that the corners of his eyes were red and he was looking up at him in confusion.

Lu Shi stretched out his hand as if he was squatting on the low wall of the school and pulling Chu Yu up.

Chu Yu's gaze froze.

He looked at the hand in front of him.

His skin was cold and pale, his veins were green, and his fingertips that he had bitten countless times.

More than ten seconds later, Chu Yu carefully placed his hand on it.

He held it tightly and pulled him up. Lu Shi's voice was as cold as ever. "Do you want to be comforted?"

Chu Yu looked at him in a daze and did not answer.

Lu Shi did not ask any more questions. He raised his arm and pulled him into his arms.

"Although I asked you to promise me that no matter what the result is, you are not allowed to cry.

But if you want to cry, you can cry quietly. I'll pretend that I don't know. "

Chu Yu responded in a low voice, his nasal voice heavy.

"Lu Shi."

"Yes, I'm here."

Chu Yu raised his hand, wrapped it around Lu Shi's waist, and tightened it.

His fingers clutched Lu Shi's shirt tightly, causing a circle of creases to form.

"Lu Shi."

"I'm here."

Lu Shi lowered his head and rubbed his lips against Chu Yu's ear. He said softly, "Cry for her for the last time, okay?"

After a long time, Chu Yu's reply came. His voice was very soft, and the ending of his words was still trembling.

"Okay."

Lu Shi smiled and stroked Chu Yu's hair comfortingly. "Very good."

The conference room was empty.

Lu Shi hugged him and looked at the closed door. He thought of the conversation he overheard when he was waiting at the door and Shi Yaling who passed by him.

You personally pushed her to my side.

If you don't want it, I want it.
