Chapter 429
“Stop worrying. Nothing happened between you and Ysabelle yet, right?”
“I’m worried precisely because nothing happened,” Felix said. You won’t feel anxious because you’ve confirmed your relationship, but my situation is different!
“Okay! I admit I’m pushing a bit too hard, but I’m running out of ideas! Ysabelle is such a ditz! How can she not notice my feelings when I’ve been so nice to her?”
“Because you have a foul mouth!”
Although he was indeed nice to Ysabelle, how he spoke to her was also very infuriating.
Words eluded Felix.
I suppose he’s right… Is it because of my foul mouth that I ran into such a problem?
“Reflect on yourself! Don’t blame others for your problems. Since there’s an issue, it must be because of how you handled things.”
Felix felt a little dejected.
However, it sure seemed that he was part of the problem, for he didn’t tell Ysabelle directly that he liked her and even teased her constantly.
His behavior was, indeed, not quite well-received.
Sophie and Ysabelle arrived at Senior Cla** 8. Their cla**mates were all curious as to how much she had scored.
“Sophie, what are your scores?”
“749.”
She gave a direct reply when her cla**mates asked, for she saw no reason to hide it.
“D*mn, Sophie! You’re insane! You scored 749, which means you got full marks for three of the subjects!”
Is she even human at all? The questions this time aren’t that easy! Most of them are incredibly difficult! Yet, she still managed to earn such a high score!
“Does that mean you’re the highest achiever in Jipsdale for this year’s university entrance exam?” They didn’t think anybody would be capable of getting full marks.
“Maybe.”
“Which university are you going to enroll in?” It was about time for them to come up with a decision, so her cla**mates a**umed that she must’ve already made up her mind.
“I’m not sure.”
“She would have her pick of universities. I heard that the chancellors of Jipsdale University and Capston University had both paid visits to her home!”
“Really?”
“Sophie, you really are the ace in Senior Cla** 8!” Although they had had some disagreements, those no longer mattered, considering their impending graduation.
“Yeah! Hasn’t Senior Cla** 1 always been cocky? With the ace in our cla** now, I bet they can no longer afford to boast!”
“How did everyone do?” Ysabelle was also concerned about her cla**mates.
“Not bad. Our cla** did brilliantly!”
“Indeed! Our cla** has achieved so much ever since Sophie’s arrival! If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have been able to score so highly!”
For a moment, the students from Senior Cla** 8 all got emotional.
Their homeroom teacher arrived with a radiant smile. After all, that batch of students had gotten the best results out of all the students he had taught.
He was happy for them from the bottom of his heart.
Although attending university wasn’t the only option for their future, the scores they obtained meant their hard work during the past three years was worthwhile, regardless of their future plans.
“You will be going your separate ways from now on. I wish all of you will be able to pursue the things you’re pa**ionate about!”
That was his one true wish.
As the homeroom teacher spoke, tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably.
“Oops, I’ve got sand in my eye!”
“Haha!”
Initially, they were all feeling rather melancholic, but his humor livened up the atmosphere once again.
“Don’t worry, Teach! A lot of us will be staying in Jipsdale. We’ll visit you!”
“Yeah! You’re the best homeroom teacher I’ve ever had! We’ll never forget about you!”
After that, someone tucked a flower bouquet into Sophie’s arms.
“Sophie, give this bouquet to our homeroom teacher on our behalf!”
Sophie stood up. She agreed that they had a great homeroom teacher. To him, no mistake was so grave as to be unforgivable.
No matter what his students did, they would be offered a second chance.
He seemed to never run out of patience.
Sophie approached him with the flowers in her hand.
“Teach, your next batch of students will be even better!” said Sophie cheerfully.
The teacher took the flowers from Sophie.
“You’re the most outstanding student that I ever had, Sophie! You have a bright future ahead of you. Be of use to society in the coming years.”
Many would commit crimes with the knowledge they possessed despite their academic prowess.
Thus, his only wish was for her to make good use of her expertise and benefit humanity instead of stirring up ruckuses.
After all, there was a fine line between being a genius and a madwoman.
Sophie let out a chuckle.
“Yeah. That would be great. To be honest, you’re my pride even though I haven’t taught you for a long time.”
“You’re our pride too, Teach.”
All of a sudden, many of the students from Senior Cla** 8 cried.
Even Ysabelle was bawling her eyes out.
Truth be told, they really did have the best homeroom teacher.
“Okay, stop crying, guys. Just remember to visit me. You don’t need to bring any presents. Just a visit would suffice.”
As Willow walked past Senior Cla** 8 and noticed how dazzling Sophie seemed while being surrounded by her cla**mates, the former felt shameful and inferior when compared to Sophie.
After all, Willow used to be the center of attention.
At that point, however, she had become dull and inconspicuous.
“Hey, isn’t that Willow? What happened? She got so arrogant after being engaged to Clayton and also did poorly in her university entrance exams!”
“Yeah. She thought she could rely on men when they were the flimsiest ones! Hey, Willow, we’re from the same school, after all. So, we want to know what you were thinking when you got engaged to Clayton, who is in a dire situation himself. What exactly are you after?”
The media had made a big splash out of Willow and Clayton’s engagement, so eighty percent of the students in Jipsdale Premier High were aware of it.
“First, it was Mason. Then, it’s Clayton. It’s obvious that her goal is to marry into a rich family!”
The students from Senior Cla** 8 truly despised Willow.
Her arrogance was loathed by many.
Willow didn’t say a word after sweeping a glance at them. At that point, she no longer enjoyed the same status in Jipsdale Premier High as before.
“I have something to talk to you about, Sophie.” Willow’s remark was directed at Sophie, who was in the cla**room.
“I don’t understand, Willow. Do you think it’s fun to always find fault with Sophie?” Ysabelle was befuddled.
“I’m not here to find fault with her. Besides, I’m her sister! What I do has nothing to do with you!” Willow retorted. Ysabelle is the outsider among us. What right does she have to act all superior?
“Of course it has something to do with me! I’m involved in everything that’s got to do with Sophie.” Ysabelle was persistent.
“That’s enough, Willow. I won’t agree to anything you want to ask from me.” Sophie didn’t want them to argue, so she gave a straightforward answer.
