“Hey, I’m telling you. When I went to play with other classmates during recess, I heard that Miss Song is not out for an educational course, but she was fired!” 

“Really!? Are the news reliable!?”

Lu Yuxuan was whispering with her classmate in the front row, but Xia Wei’an had a sharp sense of hearing and could hear them clearly. 

“Of course it’s reliable! That student’s father is an authoritative figure in school. She overheard her father saying that Miss Song is not the only one who got fired. Even Madam Wu and Mr. Xu have been fired too. The most stereotypical thing is…” 

Lu Yuxuan’s voice got quieter, and she even glanced around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping before saying softly, “Mr. Xu went to jail too, but the reason is unclear. Don’t spread this around. I promised that classmate not to tell anyone.” 

Xia Wei’an leaned back casually and thought that Di Xingchen should have been the one who did that. She initially thought that things would be put to an end after she beat Mr. Xu up, but to her surprise, Di Xingchen pursued the matter. She reckoned that he probably didn’t want the three toxic teachers to continue harming other students and posing a threat to her. 

The words he said that day suddenly came to mind.

“I will donate the school building to Virtue High School, but only for Wei’an’s sake.” 

Thinking of his domineering appearance at that time, Xia Wei’an’s heart trembled slightly, and she felt some burning in her flushed cheeks. ‘I must have been blind in my last life to not treasure such a good man!’

“Okay, students, now turn to page 58 of the textbook, we’re going to learn a new formula today.”

Mr. Geng’s voice came from the podium, and Xia Wei’an hurriedly snapped back to her senses. She then flipped open the book, but when she saw the algebra, she immediately felt a headache coming on. 

After the streaming exercise, she chose the Arts stream because she felt that Geography, Political Studies, and other arts subjects were obviously much easier to learn than Physics and Chemistry. She could also rely on memory work to improve her grades in a short period of time. 

However, Math…

The weightage for Math in high school was higher. As long as she studied hard and did well in Math, it would be very helpful in increasing her college examination score. However, Xia Wei’an was bad at Science, and she often scored zero in Math! She would occasionally encounter some easy questions and pull her score up by a little more! 

She looked at Mr. Geng who was teaching enthusiastically and splattering his saliva everywhere. Thinking that she was going to be a top student in the future, she hurriedly perked herself up and focused on what Mr. Geng was teaching. 

The syllabus of senior high was based on the system of the first two years, but due to the fact that she had been slipshod with her work in the first two years, she couldn’t understand the lesson. 

Before ending the class, Mr. Geng gave them a few questions to do. For the first time, Xia Wei’an did not go to the balcony to sunbathe and ogle at handsome men. Instead, she bit the pencil and racked her brains to think about the solutions to those questions with a frown. 

Suddenly, the noisy environment suddenly became quiet. She could sense that there was someone standing beside her, but she ignored it and continued to brainstorm. The silence stayed for about two minutes and the person beside her finally couldn’t help but fake a cough. 

Xia Wei’an ignored him. 

Angered by the fact that she had ignored him, Gu Chenyang wished he could turn around to leave, but thinking of the purpose of coming over to see her, he had no choice but to bear with the displeasure and call out, “Xia Wei’an!”

Xia Wei’an was in the midst of brainstorming about the tough questions. Having her thought process interrupted all of a sudden, she rolled her eyes and glared at Gu Chenyang’s handsome face. She hollered scornfully, “Cut straight to the chase!”
