“What girl would be happy about ranking at the bottom of her class!” Yu Weiwei couldn’t help but laugh through her tears.

“Well, your dad still cares about your grades quite a bit. You need to study hard and not let him down. Besides, don’t you want to go to medical school? The cutoff scores are really high,” Xu Chaomu said nonchalantly.

“Ugh, let’s not talk about that anymore, let’s go over there,” Yu Weiwei changed the subject and pulled Xu Chaomu towards the area where the senior year two class four was.

Xu Chaomu’s gaze wandered restlessly through the crowd. In that moment, she suddenly found herself hoping Shen Chi would come.

But she knew he wouldn’t. He’d find it embarrassing, given how she did on her exam.

“What are you thinking about? Chaomu, we’re here. Sit down,” Yu Weiwei put down a chair and tugged on Xu Chaomu’s sleeve.

“Oh.” Xu Chaomu finally settled down next to Yu Weiwei.

Still, her mind wasn’t really there, and all sorts of thoughts fluttered through her head.

There wasn’t a bit of wind around, and there were plenty of people talking on the sports field, creating an uproar all at once.

After a while, the awards ceremony officially began, and the host cleared their throat on the stage, speaking a few irrelevant words as usual.

Xu Chaomu, propping her head up, felt listless and started to doze off.

Yu Weiwei didn’t dare to fall asleep since her dad was there; she had to sit upright and attentive, pretending to be listening intently.

“Next, please welcome Principal Wang to speak,” announced the host.

Suddenly, thunderous applause sounded from below the stage, “clap clap clap clap”…

Xu Chaomu was already daydreaming when the class teacher, an old hag, glared at her from nearby. Yu Weiwei had no choice but to nudge Xu Chaomu and whispered, “Chaomu, don’t fall asleep. The old hag has her eyes on you.” “Ah? Oh.” Xu Chaomu rubbed her eyes, trying to perk up.

Principal Wang’s voice came to her ears: “We’ve just had our monthly exam, and during this round of tests, many of our students have made significant progress… both I and the faculty are very pleased… Now, let us present the awards and certificates to the winners of the first prize scholarship.”

“Chaomu, look, the prizes for first prize are so generous. There’s a notebook, a fountain pen, and even a little gold medal!” Yu Weiwei whispered.

“Who knows if it’s just gold-plated!”

“True, it’s just gold-plated, nothing much to envy.” Yu Weiwei immediately lost interest in looking at the stage.

At that time, all the winners of the senior year two first prize scholarships joyfully went on stage to receive their awards; it was a lively scene on and off the stage.

After they all stood on stage, Principal Wang spoke again: “Let’s welcome the parents of the first prize scholarship winners on stage with warm applause. It’s the parents we should thank most for the cultivation of an outstanding talent; they’re also the rightful owners of the honor. Let’s give another round of applause to our hardworking parents.”

Clap clap clap clap, there was another round of thunderous applause.

Some parents looked at the stage with envy, while others started murmuring among themselves.

“These kids are really outstanding.”

“Yeah, if only my child was half as good as they are.”

“Your child’s not bad either; it’s just that they didn’t perform consistently this time. Unlike my little brat, who ranked last again.”

“Don’t worry, academics isn’t the only way out.”

Xu Chaomu was sleepy. She lowered her head and whispered to Yu Weiwei, “Weiwei, I’m going back to the classroom to do homework. Listen for me, will you? If there’s nothing too important, I won’t come back.”

“Aren’t you going to see the prizes? Who knows what second place gets!”

“What’s there to see? Second place probably gets silver-plated, and third place gets something molded from clay!”

“…” Yu Weiwei’s mouth twitched.

“Weiwei, if you won first place, what would you want?” Xu Chaomu suddenly thought of a question.

Someone had said, if she made it into the top ten of her class, she would get what she wanted.

“I want… ” Yu Weiwei looked up to the sky, eyes lighting up, “Lots and lots of tickets—boy tickets, girl tickets, red tickets!”

“Utterly vulgar.”

“You mean you don’t want them? I don’t believe that for a second.”

“Of course… I do!” Xu Chaomu slapped Yu Weiwei’s arm and snuck away from the field, crouched over.

“Hey, Xu Chaomu!” Yu Weiwei tried to catch her when she had already slipped away.

One step, two steps, three steps…

Xu Chaomu stealthily slipped out of the crowd.

She left the booming voices behind her and finally took a deep breath to calm her pounding heart.

But, as luck would have it, as she was sneaking back into the classroom, not watching her step, she stumbled over a brick with a “thud.”

“Damn!” Xu Chaomu exhaled sharply as she lurched forward.

Her hand flailed in the air, clutching at nothing with her left hand, but her right hand found a car’s side mirror!

Clinging to it like a lifeline, Xu Chaomu brought her left hand up as well.

This way, she managed to avoid falling.

“That was close,” Xu Chaomu patted her chest, still shaken.

However, she heard a “scratching” sound and got startled.

It turned out her bracelet had accidentally scratched the car, and a chunk of the car’s black paint had come off!

Xu Chaomu was instantly dumbfounded, retracting her hand as if shocked by electricity, staring at the paint she scraped off.

A long scratch, very noticeable.

After standing frozen for a dozen seconds or so, Xu Chaomu hurriedly jumped to the back of the car to check the license plate.

She didn’t know much about cars, but if this was somehow the same brand as Shen Chi’s family car, she certainly couldn’t afford the damages!

But alas, misfortune opened the door for more; she was out of luck!

The car had a big “BMW” logo at the back—damn it, “Don’t Touch Me,” it was a BMW!

Just like the one that Liu Rumei drove, although she didn’t know which model it was, she was sure she couldn’t afford it!

After a long deliberation, she felt that as a socialist successor, she should always maintain good moral conduct and couldn’t just slip away… Damn it, she really wanted to slip away unnoticed!

After a fierce mental battle, she went upstairs quietly, lethargically took out paper and pen, wrote down contact information, and promised that she would compensate.

She decided to stick the note on the “Don’t Touch Me,” no matter whether the car owner wanted compensation or not; at least her conscience would be clear.

So she wrote: “Senior year two class four Xu Chaomu inadvertently scratched your car. Please forgive me. Here’s my contact number: I will do my best to compensate. Sorry once again.”

The phone number was, of course, Shen Chi’s—big brother… is meant to be played.

After writing the note, Xu Chaomu put double-sided tape on the back and ran down from upstairs.

But, just when she was a few steps away from “Don’t Touch Me,” a burly man pointed at her and yelled, “It’s her, catch her! Don’t let her get away again!”

“Hey hey hey, you guys…” Xu Chaomu hadn’t finished speaking when another man grabbed her arm..
