989: On Purpose?

On Purpose?

Lan Yu panicked. "Miss Sheng, are you still trying to protect him?"2

He thought that Miss Sheng was not a medical expert. How could she know with just a glance? She must be worried that they would blow this matter up and it would get out of hand.

Sheng Yang looked at him quietly. "Have I ever lied to you?"

There was a collective silence.

However, regardless of whether Ding Xing was really injured or not, the exam was imminent. They were really in big trouble this time.

The large group of students looked dejected.

"Ding Xing's experimental results are already at the bottom. Now that he only has one hand left, won't that be even worse?"

"Heh, misfortunes don't come singly. Things will only get worse."

Ding Xing couldn't stand it anymore. "Huh? It's my fault that I got injured, but it's your fault for insulting people!"

Lan Yu was annoyed. "Shut up!"

He was the angriest person. His experimental results were not very good previously, and he was only in the top 10 of the class. Now, with Teacher Sheng and that mysterious teacher's careful guidance, he had finally gotten first place in the class and could contribute to the competition between Class 12 (6) and Class 12 (3). However, just when the dawn of victory was right in front of him, it was all over!

Ding Xing also seemed to be on the verge of collapse. He sat down on the floor and scratched his head with that one hand. "Do you think I want this to happen? Boo-hoo…"

He had never cried in front of others. At this moment, he might have been forced to the extreme. He was even crying in front of Lan Yu, the person he despised the most.

Although it was very likely that this incident would follow him for the rest of his life, he had no other choice.

As he cried intermittently, everyone realized that the seemingly arrogant Ding Xing was in such a miserable state.

His parents were not good, so he could only rely on his aunt. However, his cousin in Class 12 (3) looked down on him and always looked for trouble.

For example, his cousin had insisted on dragging him to fight yesterday. He didn't want to, but he couldn't resist his cowardly parents' repeated persuasion. He knew that things were difficult for his parents in the family too.

He was going to win, but then he heard his parents' roar. Startled, he hesitated for a second.

Hesitation meant a beating. His hand was immediately broken by his cousin at that second.

His aunt looked at his cousin's torn skin with heartache and scolded him for being an ungrateful wretch.

"Aunt, but I—"

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you just break an arm? Can you even compare yourself to your cousin? She's about to take the experiment exam. If this affects her results, I won't let you off!"

His parents held him down and kept bowing their heads in apology.

He gritted his teeth until they bled. The taste of blood filled his mouth, but he just swallowed it.

Without his aunt, his parents would not have their jobs as cleaners in the research institute.

All the students of Class 12 (6) listened in silence. They could not help but sigh. Every family had its own difficulties.

"But this can't be a reason for you to always bully Lan Yu and the other students."

Ding Xing lowered his head. "Back then, I had a ball of fire in my chest and needed someone to vent on. Now I know I was wrong. I really do."

"Hey, do you think his cousin did it on purpose?"

"That's hard to say."

One could not speculate about a person with malice. But at this juncture, it was too strange.

At this moment, another person suddenly stood up. "Actually, my parents persuaded me to give up on this exam yesterday. They said that it won't do me any good in the future."
