Chapter 404 - Beware Of Reaching The Sky in one step, Lest You Tumble To Death Just As (1/2)

After second period ended, Zhou Chengzhe ran to Cla.s.s 3 to find Yun Xi because he simply couldn’t stand it anymore.

Throughout the entire grade level, rumors has it that he only got first place because Zhao Yumo and Yun Xi were purposely letting him.

“They are obviously more academically gifted than you, but they get second place every time only because they’re purposely letting you!”

“It’s probably because they feel sorry for you since you’re family is so poor!”

“If you hadn’t been their charity case, would you be where you are today?”

“…”

The derisive taunts of their cla.s.smates bruised Zhou Chengzhe’s ego.

He studied so hard for so long and finally managed to get first place every semester.

He was used to being praised by all his teachers and envied by his cla.s.smates. Yet now that the two of them did better than him on the exam, they became smug and arrogant, then deliberately spread rumors that belittled all his past achievements and hard efforts!

His family indeed wasn’t as rich as theirs, but how dare they bully him so ruthlessly?

“Yun Xi, what do you and Zhao Yumo mean by spreading such rumors? You two simply did better than me on one test out of pure luck, so do you two need to deliberately slander me like this? One good test score doesn’t mean that you’ll test well every time. Beware of reaching the sky in one step, lest you tumble to death just as quickly!”

Zhou Chengzhe believed that Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo scored higher than him on this quiz purely out of good luck.

Not only didn’t they keep a low profile, but they brazenly seized this opportunity to spread rumors to belittle him and humiliate him!

In his opinion, they weren’t as academically gifted as him, but much more haughty and self-complacent han him.

People like them will suffer once they fall down from their high position!

But what he didn’t know was that their good grades weren’t due to luck, but rather the fact that they were actually much more academically talented than him!

Moreover, they didn’t spread the rumors at all even though they really were purposely letting him score higher than them before!

With an innocent expression on her face, Yun Xi stared at Zhou Chengzhe, who had always been too arrogant to talk to them but uttered such astonis.h.i.+ng statements upon speaking to her for the first time.

He really was exactly how she perceived him!
