Fu Jin didn’t know what the provost would do next, but when he was back in the classroom, he told the class about Ji Man reporting Tang Beibei for cheating in her exams.

Although many of their classmates were not familiar with Tang Beibei, they were jealous of her and even thought that she was arrogant.

But when they heard that someone had reported her for cheating, their eyes widened in shock.

Tang Beibei cheating?

Was Ji Man crazy?

Tang Beibei was a straight-A student who could figure out things before the teachers.

Would someone who could memorize both “Compendium of Materia Medica” and “Essential Prescriptions” need to cheat in her exams?

The problem was, who in the class could she copy from?

“Although I don’t like Tang Beibei, I must admit that she’s very serious about her studies. She never failed to top the class.”

“What’s more infuriating is that her scores are miles ahead of the student in second place.”

“I think the most terrifying thing is that she’s Professor Chen’s mentee. Isn’t she afraid that Professor Chen would strangle her to death if she cheated?”

“Although I don’t like Tang Beibei very much, she never talks about her grades. She keeps such a low profile in class. Since she’s now married to a rich second-generation heir, she won’t even care about the scholarship for top student, right?”

Professor Chen was famous for being strict with his mentees. As his mentee, she would be courting death if she brazenly cheated.

When Ji Man came back to the classroom, everyone looked at her.

“Ji Man came in third place this time. Why would she report Tang Beibei?”

“Probably out of jealousy.”

“I think Ji Man is indeed suitable to study medicine. After all, her brain doesn’t seem to be working well. If she reported the student in second place or anyone else, I might believe her, but Tang Beibei?”

“Have you ever seen Tang Beibei slack off in class?”

“Also, she scored better than any of us even in quizzes. It would be more suspicious if she didn’t get first place, right?”

The usual boring classroom was suddenly rousing. Everyone was discussing the incident and looked at Ji Man more with ridicule.

Ji Man felt so ashamed when she heard these comments that she wanted to burrow into a hole. She took her bag and ran out of the classroom.

Their class monitor, Fu Jin, said to everyone, “If any one of you don’t like Tang Beibei, you can just say it to her face instead of reporting her to the teacher. Don’t play such childish games in the future and waste everyone’s time.”

Someone laughed. “Class monitor, do you think that we are as brainless as Ji Man? Of all the people to report, she reported Tang Beibei. If Tang Beibei isn’t first in class, there’s no second place for Ji Man, right? What is she trying to achieve?”

Everyone burst into laughter. They also felt that Ji Man’s accusation of Tang Beibei was a farce created by her own sick mind.

After school, Tang Beibei followed Fu Jin to the dance studio. Ruan Qi bought two Popsicles and got into the car.

The weather was good, but it was still cold. The temperature in the car dropped when Ruan Qi brought the Popsicles in with her.

“Beibei, here you go.”

Tang Beibei took the Popsicle from Ruan Qi and hesitated. She watched as Ruan Qi unwrapped hers and took a big bite. The sour expression on her face showed that she was enjoying it.

“I’m still on medication. I’d better not eat cold things.”

“Then give it to me. I’ll eat them both.”

Tang Beibei frowned. “Qiqi, your period is coming soon, right?”

“Um, I think so. It’s a few days away. Well, it isn’t here yet so I’m fine.”

“But eating cold things is still bad for you.” Tang Beibei persuaded her tactfully.

Tang Beibei wouldn’t have said anything if it was someone else. But Ruan Qi rolled around in pain during her last period and asked her to stop her from eating spicy or cold food.

“It’s just two Popsicles. I’ll be fine. I still want to eat barbecue and drink beer but sigh, I’m so busy with dance practice that I don’t have time to go.”

Ruan Qi had a look of pity on her face. She took another bite of her Popsicle and ate happily. It was as if her cramps last month didn’t happen at all.

Tang Beibei gulped. She actually felt like eating the Popsicle too.

She looked at it and licked her lips. “One Popsicle should be fine, right?”

“Yeah, eat it. It’s okay.” Ruan Qi answered very frankly and even helped Tang Beibei unwrap her Popsicle.

Fu Jin’s mouth twitched from the driver’s seat. “Ladies, aren’t you studying medicine for self-preservation?”

“One of you is taking Chinese medicine while the other is nearing her period. How can you be so careless?”

“Don’t be so serious, okay? How cold can a Popsicle be? Just put it in your mouth for a while and let it melt.”

“Exactly.”

Tang Beibei put the Popsicle into her mouth and nodded in agreement with Ruan Qi.

Fu Jin laughed. They had already eaten it and wouldn’t spit it out, right?

They arrived at the dance studio and began their training.

Ye Lan also attended training today but with big eye bags and a haggard face that were visible despite a thick layer of foundation.

Tang Beibei looked at her face and told Fu Jin that Ye Lan didn’t look quite right. Her face also looked a little swollen. She might be hung over.

Fu Jin said that Ye Lan could still train. She should know what she was doing since she was an adult.

Tang Beibei also admired Ye Lan’s dance very much, or she wouldn’t have reminded Fu Jin. She was hoping that Fu Jin would talk to Ye Lan and tell her not to be so dispirited because of her elimination.

Fu Jin also cherished students with good dancing skills. He called Ye Lan to his office during the break and asked her if she would like to continue training.

Ye Lan hung her head and said nothing.

Fu Jin said, “This is one failure. There’ll be more opportunities in the future. There’s an invitation to perform on a variety show in a few months. You can give it a try.”

“Are you taking pity on me or trying to make it up to me?”

Fu Jin replied patiently, “This isn’t an attempt to make up for anything. It’s a job. Your grades are very good, and you’re a dance major. Your future is bright as long as you don’t give up.”

“What does it have to do with you whether I give up or not? Why do you care so much and even talk to me about it?”

Fu Jin chuckled and tried his best to be calm.

“You’re one of my trainees. We signed a contract. I’ve invested money in you, I’m just thinking of a way to get my return on investment.”

Ye Lan mocked, “You’re willing to invest money, so why can’t you invest some of your feelings on me?”

Fu Jin had been very patient but he heard such a disgusting sentence.

“Get out!”

Ye Lan was shocked by his sudden anger. She glared at him and didn’t move.

“Do you hate me so much that you won’t even give me a chance?”

“Are you worthy?” Fu Jin asked, his handsome face looking a little fiercer.

“As a dance major, it’s your duty to learn and become better. It’s not an entitlement that you can take credit for!”

“It’s your fault for getting eliminated. Instead of reflecting on your mistakes, you’re questioning me for not investing my feelings in you?”

“Am I your parent or do I owe you? Why should I invest any feelings in you?”

“Ye Lan, you are giving up on yourself. It’s no one’s responsibility to spend time on you while you heal. If your affection can’t even withstand a professional blow like this, it can only be considered an obsession.”

“True love will let you stand facing the sun and become braver and more motivated with failure. You won’t be behaving like a dog, wagging your tail and begging for my attention here!”

“If you want to leave the dance troupe, pay the damages. If you don’t want to pay the damages, go back to training!”

Ye Lan covered her face and squatted down to cry..
