60 Chapter 59, I Have a Way

However, Ji Zi’ang’s attitude had already proven everything. Although he had only taught Ji Zi’ang for less than a semester, he had gained a little understanding of Ji Zi’ang.

If he had not cheated, he would definitely be screaming at the top of his lungs right now instead of looking like this.

Teacher Xu did not know that Ji Zi’ang was not always baring his fangs and brandishing his claws. There were times when he was sad. When he was sad, he did not want to speak.

Teacher Xu patiently tried to persuade him, “Zi’ang, tell me honestly. What exactly is going on? I promise I won’t tell your classmates, Okay?”

Ji Zi’ang still lowered his head and did not speak. However, upon closer inspection, his hands were trembling.

Teacher Xu saw this, he sighed slightly, “Student Zi’ang, don’t be afraid. I won’t tell your classmates, nor will I tell your parents. But the prerequisite is that you have to realize your mistake and promise that you won’t do it again in the future.”

…

Ji Yuanyuan followed the teacher to the office with light steps. Her new teacher liked her very much.

He was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with the progress after she had just skipped a grade, so he specially asked her to follow him after class. He wanted to give her a few separate tests for the first semester of the second grade so that she could do them.

This way, the teacher could see Ji Yuanyuan’s shortcomings based on the papers.

Ji Yuanyuan heard Teacher Xu’s words before he even entered the room.

When he saw Ji Zi’ang’s expression again, Ji Yuanyuan felt a surge of inexplicable anger rise from his chest.

She knew that Teacher Xu might not have any ill intentions toward Ji Zi’ang, but as a teacher, how could he hurt his students’ self-esteem before he could figure out the truth?

Ji Zi’ang had finally managed to study, so he could not lose interest in learning just because of Teacher Xu.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly walked into the office and stood beside Ji Zi’ang.

She reached out her small hand and patted Ji Ziang’s back, “Second Brother, don’t be afraid. I believe in you, Mommy and Big Brother will definitely believe in you.”

Only then did Ji Ziang raise his head and look at Ji Yuanyuan with reddened eyes.

Ji Yuanyuan’s heart instantly ached when she saw his expression.

Second Brother had always been insensitive and only knew how to be silly. When had he ever been like this? One look and one could tell that he was really sad.

“Teacher Xu, my Second Brother doesn’t know how to cheat, and he also disdains to cheat. He’s actually very smart. He’s much smarter than me. It’s just that he didn’t like to learn in the past. However, he’s been studying with my Big Brother every day during this winter break, so his grades have improved by leaps and bounds.” She stood in front of Ji Zi’ang, she looked at Teacher Xu very seriously.

“I don’t know why you suspect my Second Brother for no reason, but you have to rely on evidence for everything. You can’t just suspect others without any evidence, right?”

Teacher Xu looked at Ji Yuanyuan and was not angry.

It was normal for siblings to have deep feelings for each other.

He just rubbed his head with a headache, “Of course, I’m not guessing without evidence. Some of the students in the class saw Ji Zi’ang flip through a book during the exam.”

It was a pity that there were no surveillance cameras in the class at this time. Otherwise, they would be able to find out if Ji Zi’ang plagiarized during the exam.

“If you can trust that classmate, why don’t you trust my Second Brother? To put it bluntly, you don’t trust my Second Brother from the bottom of your heart. You said that he saw my Second Brother cheating. Does he have any evidence? Don’t you think that what you did is unfair to my Second Brother?”

The teachers in the office looked at Ji Yuanyuan in silence.

It was really surprising that she could speak so clearly at such a young age.

Ji Yuanyuan’s words also made Teacher Xu realize his own thoughts.

He was shocked, and his expression became a little ugly.

Yes, he had always thought that he was a good teacher and had always been fair and just. But why did he subconsciously believe that classmate’s words and doubt Ji Zi’ang this time?

Ji Zi’ang stood behind Ji Yuanyuan and looked at the back of her head. His mouth twitched and he could not help but drops beans of tears.

When he noticed it, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He quickly raised his hand and used his sleeve to wipe away the tears on his face.

He was her older brother. How could he cry in front of his younger sister!

“Teacher Xu, I have a way to quickly prove my Second Brother’s innocence and also to eliminate everyone’s suspicion of him.” Ji Yuanyuan saw Teacher Xu’s dull gaze and softened her tone.

Teacher Xu was stunned for a moment before asking, “What way?”

Ji Yuanyuan then said, “Why don’t you and the other teachers take some time to make a set of test papers and have my Second Brother do them in front of the entire class. Then, you can grade them. This way, the students will have nothing to say.”

Teacher Xu subconsciously looked at the other teachers.

The other teachers all felt that this was a good idea.

Otherwise, even if the teachers trusted Ji Zi’ang, the students might have doubts about him.

Ji Zi’ang’s days in class might become very difficult.

Teacher Xu nodded, “Ji Zi’ang, do you have any objections?”

Ji Zi’ang shook his head. He did not cheat, he relied on his own strength to get this result. Even if he had to do it again, he was confident.

However, he did not speak. He did not want to talk to Teacher Xu right now.

Teacher Xu heaved a sigh of relief, “Alright, then you can go back first.”

However, after Teacher Xu finished speaking, Ji Yuanyuan did not leave. She continued to look at Teacher Xu with his bright eyes.

Teacher Xu asked in surprise, “Student Ji Yuanyuan, is there anything else?”

“Teacher Xu, if my Second Brother is proven to be innocent this time, can you and that student apologize to my Second Brother in public?” Ji Yuanyuan raised his small head and asked seriously.

“This…” Teacher Xu was a little hesitant.

“Teacher Xu, please think about it carefully. You don’t have to give me an answer now.” After saying this, Ji Yuanyuan turned around and held Ji Ziang’s hand, “Second Brother, let’s go back.”

Hearing this, Ji Zi’ang obediently followed Ji Yuanyuan.

After the two children left, the teachers in the office opened their mouths to speak.

“Ji Yuanyuan is so young, yet she speaks clearly and clearly. She doesn’t have stage fright in front of so many people. I believe she will have great ambitions in the future.”

“That’s right, she’s different from the other children. She’s calm and smart.”

“Speaking of which, Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan are both good at their studies. There’s no reason for Ji Zi’ang to be ranked last all year round. Teacher Xu, you might really have wronged him this time…”

Coming out of the office, Ji Yuanyuan held Ji Zi’ang’s hand and walked slowly.

“Second Brother, you don’t have to be afraid. That classmate must have seen that you did well and was jealous of you. That’s why he said that. As long as you prove yourself, no one will be able to say anything against you.”

After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Ji Zi’ang suddenly raised his head with a stubborn look on his face, “Don’t worry. I must prove myself to them this time that I’m not an idiot, I don’t need to cheat to do better than them.”
