Today is the day to pick up report cards at school.

All the effort from a whole semester of sowing, fertilizing, and watering will bear fruit today.

Before leaving, Ming Jing arranged for Xiao Ying and Ming Ti to go out, so they could get used to the pace of modern society.

The school didn’t require uniforms today, so everyone could dress casually, which is why all the girls made a special effort to doll themselves up.

Zhu Xiangxiang shrieked at the number on the scale.

“The scale must be broken, it must be.”

Zhu Xiangxiang took a deep breath and sucked in her stomach.

Just as she came downstairs, she saw Ming Jing in a flowing white dress heading out.

So tall, so ethereal…

Her slender waist strained against the morning light as if she could be swept away by the wind at any moment.

Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly felt a tightness in her stomach. Starting from today, she decided to skip dinner.

rlhvvo cars left the Zhu’s house, one after the other.

When Ming Jing entered the classroom, the entire class fell silent for three seconds.

No one noticed her beauty when she wore the bulky school uniform, but the white dress highlighted it.

Not looking at her face, just her figure—what did it mean to be perfectly slender yet perfectly proportioned?

What did it mean to have a beautiful neck, a white complexion that glistened like dew, and a graceful, floating stride that seemed to kick up dust even in her silk stockings?

These words automatically popped up in the minds of these academically challenged students.

Ming Jing took her seat and Tao Xingxing said with a giggle, “Everyone saw it straight, if you change your hairstyle, you could blow female stars out of water.”

Ming Jing raised an eyebrow, asked about Zheng Qing, and casually asked, “Do you still remember Zheng Qing?”

Tao Xingxing made a disgruntled face: “Why bring her up all of a sudden? She’s been blacklisted in the entertainment industry. She can’t bounce around anymore. Serves her right, someone who makes a scandal deserves it.”

Ming Jing shook her head, what you see is what others want you to see.

Homeroom teacher, Huang Liang, walked in with a stack of notices and the class instantly fell silent.

Tao Xingxing nervously grabbed Ming Jing’s arm, “What should we do? I’m so nervous…”

Ming Jing patted the back of her hand, “Just let it be.”

When the report card reached Tao Xingxing, she dared not to look. She handed it to Ming Jing, “You help me look.”

Ming Jing scanned it, saying, “Student, Tao Xingxing, you’ve paid close attention in class this semester, completed homework on time, made substantial progress in both your studies and interpersonal relations. Your teacher is quite pleased and encourages you to keep up the good work.”

Tao Xingxing snatched her report card, looked at the overall score and rank, and incredulously said, “I’ve improved, I went up by 25 places! Ah, Ming Jing, I did it!”

At this moment Huang Liang standing on the podium said in a delighted tone,

“There is a student who has made significant progress in this exam. That is Tao Xingxing. She went from 10th from the bottom in the midterm to 15th in the class in the final exam. She has made remarkable progress and everyone should learn from her.”

All the students in the class focused on Tao Xingxing like lasers, and Tao Xingxing said cheerfully, “Don’t be jealous of me, who made me have the first-ranked student in our grade as my desk-mate. As the saying goes, those who are near vermilion get stained red. I must give my thanks to them.”

We all are struggling, and you didn’t even tell us you were leaving the pit. Is there any humanity left in you?

Everyone stared at Tao Xingxing with accusing eyes.

But in the bottom of their hearts, they envied her. Is this the halo of a top student? Just being covered in that aura brings academic progress?

After all, they didn’t see Tao Xingxing studying that hard, she was either mooning over someone or chasing after stars.

These academically poor students were not born that way; for various reasons, they had fallen behind or gave up. Their family usually tried to motivate them by promising gifts they wanted for their academic improvements. But they preferred not to struggle in their studies if it meant giving up the gifts they desired so dearly. They didn’t worry about food and clothing, their families could send them overseas to polish their credentials when they came of age, then they could take over the family business. They saw their whole lives played out before them, and striving seemed pointless.

Now someone told them there was a shortcut to academic success, and their eyes shone with greed.

Looking again at Ming Jing, now they saw her as the shining beacon of scholarly talent that was so dazzling, it hurt their eyes.

Huang Liang continued, “And we have Ming Jing, who maintains her usual standard in this test, and ranked first in the entire grade, bringing glory to our Class 8.”

There was competition between the teachers too. Ming Jing was once an unwanted student by all the classes, but now she proved them wrong. The class 1 teacher even went to the principal to request Ming Jing to transfer to his class.

Huang Liang remembered, what was it that he said back then?
