61 Chapter 60, Apology

After pausing for a moment, he continued, “Not only now, but in the future, I will also get better and better in the exams. I will be stronger than them.”

Seeing his ambitious face, Ji Yuanyuan was relieved.

She was really afraid that Ji Zi’ang’s weak heart would not be able to bear this incident and would be unable to recover from it.

It seemed that she had underestimated her Second Brother. Perhaps this time, Ji Zi’ang had gotten a blessing in disguise.

The two of them slowly walked to the entrance of Ji Zi’ang’s class. Ji Yuanyuan patted Ji Zi’ang’s shoulder, “Alright, go to class, don’t be afraid.”

As he said this, Ji Yuanyuan was about to leave.

Ji Ziang suddenly said, “Don’t tell Mommy and Big Brother about what happened today, understand?”

Ji Yuanyuan turned her head in surprise.

Ji Ziang scratched his head, “Otherwise, they will be worried.”

With that, he walked into the classroom, feeling a little embarrassed.

Ji Yuanyuan looked at Ji Zi’ang’s back and sighed in relief.

It was great that Ji Zi’ang was becoming more and more sensible.

This matter became Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang’s little secret. After returning home in the afternoon, the two of them did not say anything.

In order to prove himself, Ji Zi’ang did not even let go of the time in the afternoon and pestered ji Zixuan to give him some special lectures.

His Big Brother was the top student in his grade. With his guidance, he would definitely become stronger and stronger, Ji Zi’ang thought proudly.

Although Ji Zixuan did not understand what had happened to Ji Zi’ang recently, after seeing that his younger brother was indeed studying diligently, he began to teach him seriously.

In the afternoon, Ji Zi’ang’s teacher had all the test papers prepared. He planned to let Ji Zi’ang finish the test the next morning.

When he returned home in the evening, for the first time ever, Ji Zi’ang rushed into the bedroom and sat down at his desk.

“Big Brother, come quickly. I don’t know how to do this question, explain it to me.” He took out a textbook from his bag and called out to Ji Zixuan, who was washing his hands.

Li Xu was in the kitchen and looked back in surprise.

When did Ji Zi’ang become so fond of learning?

Ji Zixuan took a towel from the side and wiped his hands, “I’m coming!”

Since his younger brother was willing to learn, he was naturally willing to teach.

The two of them continued to study until Li Xu finished cooking. Ji Ziang’s expression was very serious. He even asked questions from time to time, and it did not seem like he was trying to fool them.

Li Xu looked pleased as she called out to them, “There’s no rush, come and eat first. You can continue after we finish eating.”

Ji Zixuan pulled Ji Zi’ang to the dining table. Ji Zi’ang ate quickly and was still urging Ji Zixuan after he finished eating.

Seeing Li Xu and Ji Zixuan’s surprised expressions, Ji Yuanyuan secretly smiled.

Naturally, they did not know that Ji Zi’ang was sharpening his spear at the last minute. Even if he was not happy, he had to take advantage. She believed that with Ji Zixuan’s help, Ji Zi’ang would definitely do well in the exam tomorrow

In the evening, Ji Zi’ang kept studying until past ten o’clock. Under Li Xu’s constant urging, he finally went to bed.

The next morning, Ji Yuanyuan was absent-minded during class. She had been worried about Ji Zi’ang.

Although she trusted Ji Zi’ang, she did not know if doing the exam paper in front of the entire class would affect his state of mind.

If he was affected and did not do well in the test, wouldn’t he be the target of gossip?

At this very moment, in the fourth grade classroom.

The students were all sitting down and doing the test paper. Ji Zi’ang was sitting alone on the podium, while teacher Xu was at the side of the podium, staring at Ji Zi’ang.

They could not let everyone watch Ji Zi’ang do the questions alone. That would waste everyone’s time and create a huge psychological pressure on Ji Zi’ang.

It was the best of both worlds.

Ji Zi’ang’s state of mind did not seem to be affected at all. He lowered his head on the podium and started writing rapidly.

After all three subjects were completed, it was already noon, and when school was over.

Ji Yuanyuan had been waiting at the entrance of the fourth grade for a long time. When she saw Ji Zi’ang come out, she hurriedly went up to him and asked, “Second Brother, how is it?”

Ji Zi’ang reached out his hand and gestured to Ji Yuanyuan, “Tsk, it’s a piece of cake.”

Seeing that Ji Zi’ang had returned to his previous state, Ji Yuanyuan was relieved.

The teachers had worked overtime in the afternoon. In the second period of the afternoon, the results for the fourth grade’s additional exam were out.

Ji Zi’ang’s results this time were not only noticed by the fourth grade teachers, but also by the teachers of other grades.

After all, it was indeed shocking for a person who was ranked last to improve by more than twenty places in one go.

Therefore, after the results were released, everyone couldn’t help but look at it.

“21st place? It seems that Ji Zi’ang really didn’t cheat.”

“He dropped three places compared to last time. He must have been affected on the podium.”

“This child seems to be quite smart. If he is properly guided, he might even improve.”

“Teacher Xu, what do you plan to do? Are you really going to apologize to Ji Zi’ang?”

“I think you should apologize. The child is probably feeling wronged. Besides, it’s not a shameful thing for a teacher to apologize to a student.”

“I don’t think there’s a need for that, right? Why take a child’s words seriously? Maybe he’ll just bluff his way through it.”

…

Teacher Xu didn’t say anything. He sat in his seat with a gloomy expression on his face.

He was not afraid of losing face by apologizing. He was just worried about how to deal with the classmate who had complained to him.

The facts proved that Ji Zi’ang did not cheat. He had also communicated with other classmates around Ji Zi’ang about this matter.

Everyone indeed did not see Ji Zi’ang cheat. This proved that the classmate had lied. In this matter, he and that classmate had done wrong and hurt Ji Zi’ang.

Therefore, it was not a problem for him to apologize to Ji Zi’ang.

However, if that classmate stood up and publicly apologized, then everyone would know that he lied because he was jealous of Ji Zi’ang.

Would he be isolated and ridiculed in class?

This was something that he did not want to see.

In the second period of the afternoon, Teacher Xu and the original Chinese teacher changed classes.

He stepped on the bell and entered the class.

Standing on the podium, he looked around and cleared his throat, “Everyone, be quiet. The results for this morning’s exam are out.”

He handed the results sheet in his hand to the students in the first row, “Everyone, please pass it around.”

He paused for a moment, “I’ve already investigated the matter of which a student reported Ji Zi’ang for cheating in the exam.”

Ji Zi’ang puffed out his chest and raised his head, looking very pleased with himself.

Not far from him, a student lowered his head to look at his slightly trembling fingers.

“From this report card, everyone can see that Ji Zi’ang did not cheat. He made great progress in his studies through his hard work during the winter break. This is something that everyone should learn from.”

The report cards were passed around in the students’hands. When they saw Ji Zi’ang’s results, they were all very surprised and kept looking back at him.

Ji Zi’ang raised his head even higher.

“At the same time, I would like to apologize to Ji Zi’ang. I was wrong to suspect you of cheating. Student Ji Zi’ang, I hope you can forgive Teacher.”
