Chapter 348: 341. What is a good student? What is a bad student? (1)

Because Huo Mingshan was there, with Huo Mingshan keeping the situation under control, Huo Feng simply couldn’t make a scene...

Normally, Huo Mingshan was used to hitting him at home, and just now in the classroom, a slap came without any regard for Huo Feng’s dignity.

Therefore, Huo Feng couldn’t make trouble in front of Huo Mingshan either.

If the trouble escalated, he would be the one losing face in the end!

Yet, an aggrieved Huo Feng who didn’t make a fuss... was really holding it in!

At the moment, besides "I didn’t cheat," Huo Feng had no other words to explain himself!

Meanwhile, Chen Ruixiang kept his head hung low in a cowardly manner, saying nothing, offering no explanation, and absolutely refusing to divulge any details...

Huo Mingshan asked them, "What exactly happened?"

Neither of them could provide the most reasonable explanation, and both seemed intent on refusing to explain.

Such lack of cooperation, such an attitude, truly gave Huo Mingshan a headache!

Afterward, seeing how stubborn the two of them were, Huo Mingshan had no choice but to hand the matter over to their respective homeroom teachers to communicate...

To prevent the two of them from arguing, Huo Mingshan instructed them to stand in opposite corners of the office, handling them separately.

Inside the exam hall, the examination continued...

Time ticked away, signifying that the exam was passing by, bit by bit.

This was the math exam, the subject at which Huo Feng excelled. Every unified test, it was math that boosted his scores the most...

Missing this exam and being saddled with the label of a cheater, how could Huo Feng bear it?

As the exam time passed, and as the situation continued to ferment, Huo Feng’s emotions and sense of injustice swelled even more!

He was not one to endure quietly, he could never stand such injustice, so, while facing the wall in the teachers’ office, Huo Feng’s hands, pressed against his back, clenched into fists, so tight that his knuckles turned white.

During the wait, Chen Ruixiang was filled with panic, depression, and thoughts of how to resolve the issue brewing in his mind.

Chen Ruixiang actually didn’t dare to provoke Huo Feng, nor did he dare to let this incident affect Huo Feng.

But under the current circumstances, he simply couldn’t clear the air. If he wanted to prevent the matter from affecting Huo Feng, he had to expose the girl involved.

Chen Ruixiang couldn’t expose the girl...

Thus, Chen Ruixiang also had his fair share of troubles.

As time slowly passed, and as the exam increasingly neared its end, each person’s emotions progressively edged towards extremity...

Finally, the math exam ended.

As soon as the exam finished, the homeroom teachers of the two classes hurried over.

The homeroom teacher of Class Two, Yang Huiming, and the homeroom teacher of Class Seven, Zheng Qiu...

Also in the office was Huo Mingshan, serving as the high school department head.

Regarding the cheating incident, Huo Mingshan had to know the outcome because after the results were finalized, he still needed to announce the incident over the broadcast.

It was a process, and it was a rule.

Zheng Qiu and Yang Huiming both hadn’t expected their students to cheat.

So when they arrived at the office, they both appeared incredulous.

The invigilator from Class Eight also arrived...

In front of the two homeroom teachers and the department head, the invigilator reiterated what had happened in the exam hall.

Pointing at Huo Feng and Chen Ruixiang, she said, "They cheated, he copied from him. I found a cheat sheet in his pocket, the answers matched the test paper exactly, and he won’t admit it."

As the matter developed, the invigilator had become utterly convinced of Huo Feng’s cheating, and with one statement, she locked in the verdict.

Initially, she had found the piece of paper on Huo Feng’s chair, but after some time, she began claiming outright that it was ’found in Huo Feng’s pocket.’

Her words being such, Huo Feng could not clear himself, no matter what he said.

Because the invigilator’s words were taken as the standard...

Zheng Qiu seemed to disbelieve, staring at Huo Feng with a look of utter confusion, she inquired, "Why did you cheat? With your current level, you don’t need to cheat at all!"

Facing his homeroom teacher’s questioning, Huo Feng answered with an even graver expression, "I didn’t! I could write the answers."

Simultaneously, Class Two’s homeroom teacher Yang Huiming also questioned Chen Ruixiang, "Why did you help someone cheat? What are your grades, how could you do such a thing? Is there any benefit to helping him? Will he be grateful to you? What were you thinking!"

With a shivering body, Chen Ruixiang kept his head down, remained silent, and refused to reply.

In fact, such behavior was normal for Chen Ruixiang in the eyes of every teacher.

Because Chen Ruixiang’s honest and straightforward character was well-known in the class.

Therefore, his homeroom teacher Yang Huiming also believed in Chen Ruixiang’s character, but not in Huo Feng’s.

Because Huo Feng’s lack of scholarly pursuits was also notorious in the department.

At this moment, Huo Feng and Chen Ruixiang were standing side by side, with their respective homeroom teachers in front of them.

Everyone could hear their teachers’ questions and their answers.

Huo Feng, feeling irritated by Yang Huiming’s words, felt his anger burn even brighter.

"I said I didn’t cheat!"

Huo Feng retorted against Yang Huiming with a venomous tone, "Stop slandering me! Your face is damn ugly when you do that!"

"What did you say?"

Yang Huiming was so outraged by Huo Feng that she glared at him, furiously taking deep breaths...

But instead of confronting Huo Feng directly, Yang Huiming turned to Zheng Qiu, Huo Feng’s homeroom teacher, and said, "Is this the kind of student you have in your class? Do you see this?"

Because of various reasons, Zheng Qiu could only say to Huo Feng, "Huo Feng, you can’t talk back to a teacher like that!"

Huo Feng argued even more defensively, "I said I didn’t cheat! Does nobody believe me? I could have aced that damn test!"

Zheng Qiu scolded him again, "Don’t use foul language in the office! How can you curse in front of so many teachers? Where are your manners!"

Yang Huiming, clearly unimpressed, rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "What kind of manners can you expect from such a thug? A student like this is used to spewing vulgarities and ignoring school rules and discipline! He’s completely uncontrollable!"

At this point, Yang Huiming confronted Huo Feng directly, "It’s bad enough that you’re a delinquent! Why do you have to drag a good student from our class into your mess? Did you threaten him into helping you cheat!"

Fury filled Huo Feng’s heart, and he retorted back at Yang Huiming, "Stop wrongfully accusing me! I, Huo Feng, stopped cheating a long time ago! Why don’t you ask your ’good student’ who this note was for!"

Zheng Qiu crossed her arms and shouted again, "Have you finished cursing? Huo Feng! Even if you’ve been wronged, can’t you speak politely!"

Yang Huiming, not at all intimidated, directly interrogated Chen Ruixiang, "Ruixiang, tell me, why did you help him cheat? Was the note for him? Don’t be afraid of him, I’m here, you can say whatever you want!"

Chen Ruixiang was the key to the entire issue, and the truth was in his hands.

However, faced with such domineering pressure from all sides, Chen Ruixiang was terrified and could only nod stiffly in agreement, "Yes... it was him..."

Huo Feng roared, "Bullshit! Are you framing me?"

"Slap!"

Suddenly, Zheng Qiu slammed the desk fiercely, scolding Huo Feng, "Huo Feng! This is the office! Can’t you show some respect to the teachers? What do you mean by yelling louder than us!"

On the side, Huo Mingshan could not stand to watch Huo Feng being bullied like this.

No matter what, it was still his son, and Huo Mingshan’s heart ached to witness it...

At that point, Huo Mingshan had no choice but to step in and try to calm things down, "Everyone calm down and be quiet for a few minutes before speaking. No one should lose their temper in this office. Let’s speak calmly!"

After all, Huo Mingshan was a department head, and the teachers had to listen to him.

Consequently, there was a brief silence in the office...

A few minutes later, Yang Huiming questioned Chen Ruixiang again, "Ruixiang, speak up, there’s nothing to be afraid of saying. The cheating has already happened."

Yang Huiming was essentially telling Chen Ruixiang that cheating was an unchangeable fact, but one person shouldn’t take the fall alone, letting Huo Feng get away with it.

In Yang Huiming’s eyes, Chen Ruixiang was helping Huo Feng cheat, and Huo Feng was the real beneficiary. In such a case, the good student shouldn’t suffer while the bad student gets off scot-free!

Under immense pressure, Chen Ruixiang, having told one lie, found himself compelled to continue lying, even elaborating the lie perfectly, "It was... it was him... Yesterday, he asked me to let him see... so I just..."

"Who asked you to let me see?"

Huo Feng, in disbelief, widened his eyes, "When did I ask you to let me see? Explain yourself clearly!"

But Huo Feng couldn’t help but shout out his last sentence.

He was simply too angry, too wronged, and too furious!

And after losing his temper for the nth time, Yang Huiming cut to the chase and told Department Head Huo Mingshan and Zheng Qiu, "You all know my student. He has always been an excellent student with both good character and good grades, never lying! You also know Huo Feng, always a troublemaker! A no-good student leading a gang and acting like a mob boss! I only mean to say that it’s not fair for my student to be the only one held responsible for cheating. The person who benefited is Huo Feng, and he can’t escape the blame!"

The dominance from Yang Huiming, as well as the suppression from Zheng Qiu and Huo Mingshan... All these factors contributed to pushing Huo Feng’s emotions to an extreme.

And it was at that moment, when Yang Huiming was pinning the blame on Huo Feng, that taut string within him...

Snapped!

"Huo Feng, now it’s your turn to explain," Zheng Qiu said to him.

But by then, Huo Feng no longer had any desire to defend himself.

His heart had gone cold.

All he did was give everyone present a fierce look, especially Yang Huiming, before dropping the words, "You’re the boss, you’re the best! I quit the exam!"

Those words dripped with disdain.

After speaking, Huo Feng turned around and walked out, without any regard for anything else!

Just before stepping out of the office, he could still hear Yang Huiming’s sharp and mean-spirited voice from behind, "Look at the quality! He lacks all the decent characteristics of a student!"

In his heart, Huo Feng cursed fiercely: Go to hell!
