Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Hard to Accept

"The afternoon just flew by!"

Although everyone still wanted to play, they knew that class was about to start and had to suppress their urge.

"God, Da, remember to hit me up next time you game, I’ll be your utility man."

"And me, I’ll give you all the econ."

Being good-looking AND slick at gaming, definitely an idol in their hearts!

"Everybody go back to class and study hard, you got it?" Yun Yue stood up with a straight face, her attitude a mix of wild and cool, exuding a natural unruliness.

Class seven students: "..."

If Gu Yue said that, maybe they’d listen, but why does it feel so off hearing it from you?

Reaching the hallway, Yun Yue turned to look at them, with her left hand in her pocket, a mischievously playful smile twitching at the corner of her lips, "About today’s affair..."

"Don’t worry, we’ll keep it zipped."

Class seven students gestured zippered lips.

Who knows how many people online are digging for the identity of such a bigshot, they’re not foolish enough to leak that.

They were still counting on the bigshot to carry them in games.

Evening self-study.

Quite a few boys from class seven glanced over at Yun Yue with admiration in their eyes.

Zhang Ziyue wasn’t even in the mood for problems anymore; she tilted her head to look at the delicate profile of Yun Yue.

Somewhat emotional.

Yun Yue was both good-looking and good at gaming; if her academic performance was also top-notch, would they even have a chance to exist?

It’s bound to be fair, heaven opens a door but surely closes a window.

The next day.

Blackboard announcement competition results were out.

All of class seven rushed to the bulletin board to see.

"Class seven’s here? What’s with the big show?"

"What’s the use? The outcome won’t change, first place is undoubtedly our class."

Class seven held their tongues, waiting for the slap in the face.

There were too many onlookers; they barely managed to squeeze a few through.

"First place, class seven! How is that possible?!"

The guys, who boasted earlier, were wide-eyed, in disbelief at the rankings. Did the school make a mistake?

With class seven’s drawing skills, how could they beat Shen Xuan and take first place?!

It must be a school error!

"How is it not possible? It’s clear as day on the paper, class seven, first place!"

Class seven students were pumped, even seemed to stand a bit taller.

Class seven finally stood up straight.

"This is absolutely impossible, the school must have made a mistake, let’s go to the director. It can’t be such a blunder; that would be truly embarrassing."

A few from class one had already headed to the administration building.

"Boys, let’s go and see them make fools of themselves." Class seven sneered and casually followed.

Li Hongsheng’s office door was knocked.

"Director Li, the blackboard rankings, could there be a mistake? Did you get class one and class seven’s places mixed up?" A few from class one walked in, convinced it was a mix-up.

Several representatives from class seven, led by Yang Xing, entered, while the rest crowded around the door.

Li Hongsheng leisurely sipped his tea; he wished he had made a mistake, he wanted to show some bias.

But how could he when class seven’s blackboard announcement was streets ahead of class one’s?

No opportunity for favoritism was to be found.

One had to admit, Class Seven had staged a stunning comeback this time.

The blackboard newspaper they made could no longer be called just that; it was a bona fide work of art, and he even wanted to pry the board off and display it on the exhibition stand at First Middle School.

It was the very face of their class.

"The rankings, are they not wrong?" Li Hongsheng observed the faces of everyone from Class One, taking in their expressions.

Class Seven was arrogantly triumphant.

Although he didn’t want to add to their smugness, Class Seven had indeed won beautifully this time.

"Did you hear that? Even Director Li said so. We get it might be too much of a shock for you to accept right now, but the fact remains as is."

"First place doesn’t have your Class One’s name on it; can’t stomach being second? You all should really learn from us in Class Seven."

"Goodbye, Director Li."

The people from Class Seven strutted out of the office, audaciously so for the first time in front of Li Hongsheng and Class One.

"Hahahahaha! That’s hilarious."

"Brother Yang, your words just now were so satisfying, you didn’t see how awful those guys’ faces looked."

"It’s indeed so gratifying! Class Seven has finally had its moment of elation."

Yang Xing was jumping around with joy, "For the first time, we stood our ground with such justification in front of Li Hongsheng; the feeling is really great!"

He finally understood why Class One was so arrogant in front of Li Hongsheng, with their smirks and all.

But Class Seven never cared about what kind of face Li Hongsheng showed them.

They walked into Class Seven, triumphant.

A few people from Class One followed behind; they wanted to see just how Class Seven’s blackboard newspaper was better than theirs.

As they passed by the window, they didn’t look at the smug faces of Class Seven; their gaze swept over the blackboard newspaper behind them.

They stopped in their tracks, this was no longer a blackboard newspaper, but a true piece of art.

Such artistic skill left Shen Xuan in the dust by miles!

Seeing this blackboard newspaper, all their resentment sank down.

No comparison, simply incomparable.

Compared with this blackboard newspaper, Class One’s looked like child’s play!

The people from Class Seven were screaming, audible throughout the entire school building; Yun Yue put on her headphones.

"What are those people from Class Seven shrieking about, have they lost their minds these past two days?!" The short-haired girl was working on problems, her train of thought completely derailed by their screams, malice tinged her eyes and brows.

These people don’t study hard, and now they won’t let others study either!

What a bunch of troublemakers!

At this moment, a few male students walked into Class One, their faces not looking very good. Seeing them, the short-haired girl relaxed slightly and flipped her fingertips arrogantly, "Let me see the award certificate."

One of the boys handed over the award certificate to her with a gloomy face.

The short-haired girl squinted her eyes; it was another first-place award certificate, and the wall of honor in Class One couldn’t even fit anymore.

Her smile suddenly froze, the character "Second" especially conspicuous, ’Congratulations to Class One for receiving the Second Place in this semester’s blackboard newspaper competition’

"How is it a second-place award?!" She widened her eyes in disbelief at the boys, as this was the first time in history that Class One received a second-place award in anything other than athletic competitions.

They were even embarrassed to post this certificate on the wall of honor!

Because every blackboard newspaper award on that wall was a first-place award!

Just imagine how jarringly obvious this one would be!

Shen Xuan, who was working on problems, initially didn’t care much about the certificate, as she could already guess the outcome.

But hearing it was a second-place award, her pure eyebrows furrowed slightly. She took the certificate from the short-haired girl, her pupils constricted, and her fingertips tightly pinched the award.

For the first time, they received a second-place award, and it was in the domain that she’d always been proud of—drawing.

Though she had been practicing piano over the past two years, she had never fallen behind in her art lessons—in fact, she had improved more since the time she won the city’s first-place award.

Yet, to think she received a second-place award in this blackboard newspaper competition?!

"Which class received the first-place award?" Her voice was cold, maintaining her usual gentle and pure demeanor, but her eyes revealed a glint of chill.

A hunch in the bottom of her heart was something she couldn’t accept.
