As Duan Xu looked appalled, his eyes twitched. He carefully asked, “Mr. Zhang, you always tell me not to be afraid and do my best. I did my best and studied for the test recently. Look at how I’ve improved—”
Zhang Yuan laughed. “You studied? You studied how to copy people’s answers, am I right?”
Duan Xu’s face twitched helplessly. He still wanted to resist by arguing, “No, please—”
“During the monthly tests, you and Ning Lisa were in the same venue, and you sat beside her.” Zhang Yuan waved the paper in front of Duan Xu. “There are only two people in the entire third year who got all the answers right: you and Ning Lisa. Tell me, who copied whose answers?”
The answer to that question was obvious.
Lisa had answered both the multiple-choice questions and essay questions perfectly whereas Duan Xu’s essays were all messy and poorly written. It seemed like he simply pieced the formulas together and still got it wrong.
Duan Xu looked down in guilt, admitting his mistake, “Mr. Zhang, I’m sorry. I won’t do it next time.”
Zhang Yuan grunted. “Ning Lisa will shift to the first exam venue in the next paper. You won’t get another chance!”
Duan Xu was speechless.
“The discipline instructor has been informed of this. You really are a problematic student. Call your parents to come over right now.”
Duan Xu shook his head nervously when he heard that. “Mr. Zhang, please, no!”
If his father found out about him cheating during the test, he would be dead!
“You started this by copying answers, and you are telling me you don’t want to be held responsible?” Zhang Yuan raised his voice.
The twelfth class that he taught had the poorest average score in the entire third year with Duan Xu being the worst of them all.
He could forgive the boy if he had done badly in the test since the boy would still achieve something if he worked hard. However, he had cheated in the test, thus it was an issue of breaking the rules and principles.
All the third-year teachers knew that Duan Xu of the twelfth class had copied Lisa’s answers and that he had not even tried to change some of them to make it less obvious.
Zhang Yuan had to fight his urge to crack open Duan Xu’s head and see what was inside!
Meanwhile, Duan Xu could already picture his father’s slap across his face. His eyes were twitching in fear.
“Mr. Zhang, you wouldn’t want to see me bleed to death in the office, right? I’ll write an apology essay, or the disciple instructor can give me a demerit for this, anything! Anything is better than calling my father here!”
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes at Duan Xu. “Don’t worry. Your father is not the only one. Ning Lisa will have to call her parents as well.”
Duan Xu looked appalled.
…
“Call my parents?”
In the teacher’s office, the Literature department, Lisa reacted with a strange expression. “Mr. Geng, may I know what this is about?”
Geng Haifan hesitated for a second before he asked, “Do you happen to know Duan Xu?”
Lisa immediately thought of the boy’s long legs that could barely fit under the desk. She somehow had a hunch about what was going on. “Is it about the test?”
