Bite Your Fingertips

Chapter 30.1 – If you don’t want, then I do

30th If you dont want, then I do

Chu Yu sandwiched his transcript in a book and went to speak with his homeroom teacher first.

In the process, he was praised by Old Ye again, and by the English teacher beside him. Chu Yu was complimented so much that he became absent-minded and felt like he was that flickering, shiny WenQuXing in the sky.

Exiting the office, Chu Yu saw Lu Shi waiting at the door with his hands habitually inserted in his pockets.

Ill go with you.

Chu Yu thought that since hed visited the principals office several times, he didnt need to be accompanied because he was already familiar with the route. But seeing that Lu Shi had already taken a step forward, he simply followed maybe Lu Shi was looking for the principal for something?

The weather was gloomy with thick clouds and no sunlight.

Chu Yu was in a good mood and couldnt stop talking to Lu Shi along the way.

I never imagined I could rank 199th! I cant get such a high score even in my dreams. Chu Yu understood clearly deep inside and smiled at Lu Shi. Thank you!

Lu Shi stared straight ahead and spoke with a light tone, Thank you for what?

A smile reflected in his light-colored eyes as Chu Yu spread his fingers and began counting. The reading comprehension and language application answer templates, the certain-to-show up archaeological poetry and literature fill in the blanks, and lastly the essay templates you gave me, I used all of them! And and, those math, physics and chem questions you highlighted were all accurate. First line, second line, third line, almost every line looked familiar to me. What kind of descended god are you?

After saying that, he bent down and looked at Lu Shis face from the bottom up with an exaggerated expression. Lu-Shen, how are you this amazing?

Lu Shi took one hand out of his pocket and rubbed the others hair. Walk properly.

After the two unhurriedly arrived at the door of the principals office, they found that it was closed.

Chu Yu knocked on the door and entered. Sir, may I ask what you wanted to see me for?

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

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

The smile on his face faded and Chu Yu looked away. Sir, were you looking for me?

The office wasnt big. Behind the solid, dark brown wooden desk was a bookshelf filled with many books such as Adolescent Psychology, Digest, Introduction to Educational Psychology and so forth. Two three-seater sofas, both dark brown, were placed on both sides to serve as the visitors area.

The principal was sitting behind the desk. Seeing Chu Yu coming in, a kind smile appeared on his face. Student Chu Yu, thank you for coming over this time, please come sit down.

Seeing Lu Shi come in with him, he spoke again, If Student Lu Shi isnt in a hurry, you can return to the classroom first and come again to find me in my office this afternoon.

Chu Yu sat down on the sofa and said, Lu Shi is accompanying me.

So its like that. In that case, you should also sit, Lu Shi.

Once the two were seated, the principal cleared his throat. This time I asked student Chu Yu to come over because I wanted to investigate and be clear about one thing.

His expression became serious. These two students reported that in this monthly exam, student Chu Yu engaged in cheating.

After hearing this, Chu Yu wasnt the least bit surprised. His expression was calm as his eyes passed over the two people sitting opposite him before he replied, I didnt.

The principal looked at Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe. Fang Mingzhe, repeat what you said earlier in front of Chu Yu.

Fang Mingzhe seemed a little uneasy. He shifted his position slightly and shot a glance at Chu Yu who was sitting across from him. There was a bit of timidness flashing in his eyes, but he seemed to have found his courage and started, I I couldnt sleep for these past two days because I felt guilty. I did something I shouldnt have, which is too unfair, especially out of respect for the students who seriously studied and wanted to get good grades.

Chu Yu looked at Fang Mingzhe. What have you done that you cant sleep because of guilt?

Fang Mingzhes hands on his thighs fiercely clenched into fists, and instead of answering Chu Yus question, he turned to the principal. Sir, Im sorry! I helped Chu Yu cheat in the exams.

Chu Yu questioned, Then this classmate might as well talk about it, how did you help me cheat?

Fang Mingzhes tightly clenched fists trembled. It was in the mens washroom, and there happened to be only the two of us at the time. You asked me if I got into the top fifty in every exam. I said I did.

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

Fang Mingzhe closed his eyes and explained, I disagreed, saying that such a thing was wrong, that the exam required real ability and learning, and cheating is shameful. But you said that if I didnt cooperate with you, you would get me, get me

Chu Yu prodded, Get you what?

Get me expelled from Jianing Private!

Fang Mingzhe gazed at the principal, his lips trembling slightly. Sir, I was wrong. I- me and my family have no money. My father opened a rental business whereas my mothers a housewife. It was very difficult for them to send me to Jianing Private so I dont want to be expelled

There were many such students in Jianing Private. Their family background was average, and some werent even very good. It was only with scholarships and the school waiving tuition and accommodation fees that they were able to leave public school and come here to study.

The principals brows were tightly creased. So you chose to help Chu Yu cheat?

Fang Mingzhe bit his lower lip and nodded. Yes.

He continued, Chu Yu also said that hed never be found out, so I could rest assured. The last examination room wasnt strictly invigilated so he wouldnt get caught.

Alright.

The principal looked at Chu Yu again. Student Chu Yu, do you have anything you want to say?

Chu Yus tone didnt fluctuate at all. Before now, Ive never said a word to this person.

Fang Mingzhe suddenly raised his head to look at Chu Yu. He wanted to say something but fear flitted through his eyes and he shut his mouth again.

Chu Yu, said Guan Yiyang, who was sitting next to Fang Mingzhe. I know our bet placed you under too much pressure. In order to get good grades and save face, you had to resort to other measures. Im sorry, that bet was too childish, I now withdraw it. However, his two eyes faced Chu Yu and he sincerely advised, people can lose face, but they must never lose their principles. What do you say, Classmate Chu Yu?

Chu Yu lifted his chin. You mean, because I made a bet with you and worried that Id lose, I threatened this so-called Fang Mingzhe and told him to hand over his answers to me during the exam?

Guan Yiyang nodded.

Chu Yu laughed out loud. Tsk, Guan Yiyang, do you really think so highly of yourself that youd think you pushed me into finding someone to help me cheat all because of some bet which I didnt even accept?

Guan Yiyang was provoked by Chu Yus smile, his hands that were concealed behind his body dug tightly into the sofa. He pursed his lips and said, Im sorry, I shouldnt have let my emotions get the best of me. I made this bet with you, which led you into making a mistake.

As he spoke, he saw out of the corner of his eyes that the principal already somewhat believed their side.

This kind of spoiled, second generation ancestor like the majority of them couldnt be provoked. In order to save their pride, theyd threaten others to help them cheat and whatnot. It had all been done before.

The pleasure of revenge welled up in Guan Yiyangs heart.

When the homeroom teacher had read out Chu Yus grades, countless classmates had looked towards him.

There was surprise, malice, sneers; all stared at him like he was a joke.

He even heard someone comment that Guan Yiyang had an extra dad now, would he change his name to Chu Yiyang from now on? And his new dad was so rich, maybe hed give Guan Yiyang pocket money to improve his meals.

Recalling this, Guan Yiyang felt sullen anger bubble within. He looked straight at the principal. Sir, would you believe it if a student whod always ranked top from the bottom, and had submitted blank papers in math and physics since entering school improved his marks by leaps and bounds overnight and got into the top 200 of the grade?

His face reflected awe-inspiring justice. I dont believe it, many students dont believe it! We demand that cheaters be punished in accordance with the school rules and everyone has a fair testing environment! If Chu Yu, just because hes the school directors son, can do whatever he wants and not be disciplined, then what dignity and deterrence does the school still have?

As Chu Yu listened, he suddenly thought that Guan Yiyang couldnt completely be called stupid yet.

Guan Yiyang obviously believed that he mustve cheated when he got that result, so he chose to expose it directly.

As for who actually helped him cheat, it didnt matter. The important thing was to expose the fact that he had cheated.

Once it was over, things would be leaning in the intended direction. If his cheating issue wasnt dealt with, the school wouldnt be able to face the public.

The principal was also contemplating this.

He felt that he still somewhat had an understanding of Chu Yu.

This young master of the Chu family was considered to possess a better temperament and personality among the rich second and third-generations, but hed never put his mind into studying and his family never asked him to.

This time, he suddenly attained such good results in the tests, and there was also a bet. It was indeed very likely that he had used unconventional means.

But this matter wasnt easy to handle as the principal needed to take the Chu familys face into consideration.

He asked Fang Mingzhe, Is there any evidence?

This was an argument that had been subconsciously biased towards Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe.

Fang Mingzhe shrank his neck, looking scared. Chu Yu told me in advance that in order to avoid leaving any evidence behind, I should delete the messages immediately after sending him the answers, not letting even a single word remain.

This was Fang Mingzhe and Guan Yiyangs plan, splashing all the water onto Chu Yu. The principal had encountered cheating a lot and could naturally help them fill in the details.

They refused to believe it at all. A thorough slacker couldnt get to 199th place in only three weeks.

If he didnt cheat, then he mustve stolen the test papers and memorized the answers in advance.

Once Chu Yu couldnt refute them, the accusation would be taken seriously.

When that time comes, even if the principal reduced this major issue into something trivial, the news could still be spread.

Chu Yu must lose.

In a blind spot, Fang Mingzhe and Guan Yiyang looked at each other then quickly withdrew their gazes.

Chu Yu felt extremely bored.

Sure enough, the school was big. There would always be a few idiots.

He didnt bother caring about Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe, instead looking directly at the principal. I apologize that these two students have come to you to blabber and slander me for cheating. Its easy for him to slander me, but in fact its also quite easy for me to prove myself.

Guan Yiyangs heart jumped and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Then he heard Chu Yu say, Doesnt the school prepare b-tests? Or perhaps the teachers can just write some questions on the spot, thats okay too. Give me the test again, and here, in front of everyone, Ill retake it.

Chu Yu turned to Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe with plain disdain in his eyes. Then you can compare my scores and see if its truly deceptive.

Fang Mingzhe and Guan Yiyang were stumped for words. They sat on the sofa with a layer of cold sweat on their backs

This wasnt according to their plan!

The principal nodded. Yes, this is doable. Since Student Chu Yu is willing to cooperate, Ill have the teaching and research department bring the backup test.

Ill have to trouble you, Sir.

Chu Yu looked at Guan Yiyang and Fang Mingzhe again with the corner of his lips raised. I just hope that when I finish the test, certain students wont say that I peeked at the test papers and memorized the answers in advance.

The instructor waved his hand. Thats impossible. Because its only a backup test, theres only one copy printed and placed in a sealed envelope. Without opening the envelope, theres no possibility of knowing whats inside.

It didnt take long for the test papers sealed inside a kraft envelope to be delivered.

Chu Yu borrowed a pen from the principal, used a book as padding, and began answering the questions.

The office was quiet.

During this period, the principal answered two calls but never left.

After finishing the last big question, footsteps which were gradually nearing sounded from outside the office door.

It was the sound of high heels stepping on marble floor tiles.

Soon, the office door was knocked on and a young woman in a beige business suit opened the door and stepped aside.

The principal quickly got up and came over to greet, saying respectfully, President Shi, Ive disturbed your busy schedule, thank you for taking the time to come here!

Chu Yus pen tip ran across the paper, and with a shrk, pierced through it.
