I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 147: My girlfriend is ranked first in her grade, I feel a lot of pressure.

The first person to applaud Zhou Heng was Yin Mengran.

She turned to look in Zhou Heng's direction, her face beaming with a smile.

Teacher Wang looked at Zhou Heng and nodded in satisfaction. Now she knew that Zhou Heng hadn't lied to her back then.

Being with Yin Mengran didn't negatively impact his studies; on the contrary, it greatly helped them improve.

Despite Zhou Heng's significant improvement, it was actually much harder for Yin Mengran to become the top student in the grade. After all, the higher one's ranking, the more difficult it is to climb the ranks.

Almost everyone knows that surpassing Liao Haomiao is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

After class, Ms. Wang was a completely different person; her joy was palpable. After all, two students from her class were in the top five of the grade.

Class monitor Yin Mengran has even become the top student in the grade! Now, they are undoubtedly the best class.

Now we finally don't have to see that smug look on the teacher's face!

When Teacher Wang leaves the classroom after class, she always stands tall and holds her head high.

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran could also see that Teacher Wang was very happy. They were glad that they had finally proven their teacher right, which was a small reward for them.

However, learning is ultimately for yourself, not for the teacher.

"Tsk...hiss..."

After class, Zhou Heng stared at his report card, scratched his head, and looked somewhat troubled.

If it were a few months ago, he would have been ecstatic to receive this result.

They'd just play games like crazy and spend tons of money on in-game purchases.

After all, he used to be at the bottom of his class, but now he's suddenly a student with a chance to go to university, which puts him in the upper-middle tier of the class.

but now...

He felt immense pressure...

Yin Mengran, the top student in the grade, is his girlfriend.

Liao Haomiao, who is second in the grade, is my good friend.

Tang Zhi, who is third in the grade, is my cousin...

The top three students in this grade are all people I have the closest relationship with.

But I myself, number 89...

The gap is just too big; it will be very difficult for me to climb any higher in the rankings...

Especially when you get into the top 20, the difference between each person is only a few points, and those few points are really hard to surpass.

As soon as get out of class ended, Yin Mengran stood up, went to Zhou Heng's side, and said excitedly:

"Zhou Heng! You've made such great progress this time, Mom will definitely be very happy!"

She had assumed Zhou Heng would be very happy, but judging from his expression, he seemed a little worried.

Yin Mengran was somewhat stunned, and subconsciously looked at Tang Zhi beside her. Tang Zhi shrugged and said calmly:

"I'm anxious because my girlfriend is ranked first in her grade, and I'm under a lot of pressure."

Zhou Heng turned to look at Tang Zhi with a helpless expression, gasped, and said:

"Hiss... Could you please stop analyzing my psychology so clearly..."

Tang Zhi put her hand on Zhou Heng's shoulder and smiled slightly: "There's nothing I can do, your psychology is too easy to analyze."

"cut..."

Zhou Heng ignored her, turned to look at Yin Mengran, a smile in his eyes, and said softly:

"You're the one who should be happy! Let's have a good celebration for you tonight!"

Zhou Heng reached out and gently patted Yin Mengran's head.

Her voice was as gentle and soothing as the ripples of clear water. Yin Mengran lowered her head, a sweet smile spreading across her face.

"hey-hey..."

She felt this was the best reward she could receive. Even if she were ranked first in the entire school, she wouldn't be happy without Zhou Heng's praise.

Tang Zhi watched this scene from the side, her mouth slightly agape, then shook her head.

The biggest difference between Yin Mengran and a cute little puppy is probably that she doesn't wag her tail... She's so happy just from being petted on the head...

She had never noticed that Yin Mengran was this kind of person before.

Even if someone has a good personality and is popular, they shouldn't be this obedient...

Or did you change after being with Zhou Heng?

"You too! That's great! You've worked so hard lately, take a good rest now."

Yin Mengran also responded softly.

The two could only maintain a certain distance while exchanging these words; aside from Zhou Heng patting Yin Mengran's head, there was no other physical contact.

After all, we were at school, in the classroom, and we couldn't do anything excessive, otherwise we would be slapping Teacher Wang in the face.

Tang Zhi sighed. Although the two of them had shown affection in front of her countless times, she still wasn't used to it.

The main problem is that I'm too familiar with Zhou Heng; I know him in every way, except for this relationship dynamic—it feels so unfamiliar.

She was in disbelief when she saw it, so she's still slowly accepting it...

"I said...shouldn't you two go check on Liao Haomiao? He's dropped from first to second in the grade..."

"Uh..."

After Tang Zhi's reminder, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran suddenly realized what was happening, paused slightly, and glanced at each other.

He then immediately got up and left the classroom.

Tang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them leave; at least she didn't have to face those two lovebirds anymore...

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran arrived at the door of Class 1, stood outside, and looked into the classroom, searching for Liao Haomiao.

There was no one at Liao Haomiao's seat.

Zhou Heng stopped a male classmate who came out and asked, "Hey, classmate, where's your class monitor?"

The male student was startled when he was pulled back, and even more so when he saw Zhou Heng...

They all knew that their class monitor and Zhou Heng were good friends.

Liao Haomiao was already awe-inspiring enough with his brilliant mind, but now he had a strong, ox-like friend. When the two of them were together, no one dared to speak to them. When they walked side by side in the corridor, everyone else had to give way.

"Uh... our... class monitor went out as soon as get out of class ended, probably to the restroom..."

"Oh... thank you."

Zhou Heng released him, and he immediately turned around and went back into the classroom.

Yin Mengran looked at Zhou Heng, who also frowned slightly, his eyes showing some worry.

"Could it be... that she couldn't accept the difference and went to the bathroom to cry?"

Zhou Heng looked at Yin Mengran beside him and said in a low voice,

Liao Haomiao was only two points behind Yin Mengran. Before this, Liao Haomiao had held the top spot in the grade for a very long time.

He's been at it since the second year of high school, never surpassed, his position is unshakeable.

As a result, they were surpassed in the second monthly exam of their senior year...

That feeling must be unpleasant.

Yin Mengran shook her head and replied:

"It shouldn't be that bad. Does he really have to be number one? I feel like there's not much difference between being in the top ten of the grade; they all have a chance to get into a top-tier university..."

"Not necessarily... After being in first place for so long, suddenly dropping to second... only he can understand that feeling. I'll go check on him in the restroom..."
