Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: You Idiot

All the students she scanned quivered nervously, swallowing their saliva, fearing that they were the ones she was talking about.

After looking around, the homeroom teacher finally revealed the mystery, “This student is… Luo Mengmeng!”

Her voice sharply rose as she pronounced the last three words, her large hand ceaselessly slapping the podium in front of her, spittle flying everywhere, “Luo Mengmeng, stand up and tell me, did you cheat on this test or not?”

“I, I…” Suddenly called out by name, Luo Mengmeng’s small frame involuntarily shuddered, instinctively standing up from her seat, her gaze darting and avoiding eye contact with the teacher.

“What, you still don’t want to admit it?” The homeroom teacher sneered again upon hearing Luo Meng’s hesitant stammering without forming a complete sentence, took out her test and Gu Zhihan’s, holding them up high, “You even copied the wrong answers that Gu Zhihan crossed out, are you still going to claim you didn’t cheat?”

“Or are you trying to say that Gu Zhihan copied from you, and that he accidentally copied all the wrong answers you had marked out?”

The homeroom teacher’s words were sharp and cutting, making Luo Meng’s face turn red and tears involuntarily fall. Biting her lip, she shouted, “Of course not, my husband is so smart, there’s no way he could have copied my paper. It was me who copied his.”

She was solely responsible for her actions and would never drag her husband down with her.

“Such bad behavior at a young age, who knows what you’ll be like when you grow up. Go to the cleaning area right now, and don’t even think about going home for vacation until you’ve cleaned it all up!” The homeroom teacher’s tone was extremely strict; as a teacher, she despised cheating on tests the most. Even copying homework was less forgivable than handing in a blank paper or not doing it at all.

“Fine, I’ll go!”

Mengmeng wiped away her tears and marched off with her short legs to the back of the classroom to grab a broom.

“Wait a moment.”

Gu Zhihan’s voice suddenly rang out in the quiet classroom, prompting everyone to turn and look at him, clueless about what he was about to do.

Even Luo Meng paused in place, turning to look at him.

The young boy stood expressionless from his seat, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the homeroom teacher on the podium, and said, “This issue is not solely her fault. I am also to blame.”

“What do you mean?” The homeroom teacher couldn’t help frowning, possibly guessing what was on his mind, and immediately signaled him with her eyes to speak less.

“During the test, it was I who took the initiative to let her copy from my paper,” Gu Zhihan said, ignoring her glances and openly admitting it.

While Mengmeng was wrong to cheat, he who had knowingly provided the means to cheat was even more culpable.

“Gu Zhihan, you…” With his straightforward confession, even if the homeroom teacher wanted to show him favoritism, she couldn’t now. Clenching her teeth, she reluctantly punished them both, “You go clean the area as well!” @@novelbin@@

“Hmm.” Gu Zhihan nodded, then left his seat, took a broom, and led Luo Meng out.

“Husband, why did you admit it, you dummy!” As soon as they reached a deserted area, Luo Meng threw herself into his arms and looked up at him with her fuzzy little head, her eyes full of distress.

If he hadn’t come forward, the teacher would have never known that he was the one who had let her copy, and would have thought that she had sneakily looked at his answers when he wasn’t paying attention. But now he had laid everything bare, especially in front of everyone, and the teacher could no longer show favoritism even if she wanted to.
