Song Yan Ning gave a light smile and walked to her seat to sit down. Yesterday, Tong Qi had called her, saying that Yu Xiaoyan had been marked with a serious demerit by the school for cheating and poor conduct. However, since it's now nine years of compulsory education, there wasn't a concept of repeating a grade, so once the summer break arrived and Yu Xiaoyan passed the makeup exam, she would still be able to advance to junior high. The only difference was that the demerit would stay on her record for life.
Song Yan Ning looked at the empty seat beside her and shook her head. She just couldn't fathom where Yu Xiaoyan's hostility towards her had come from.
Tong Qi entered the classroom holding a stack of diplomas, glanced at Song Yan Ning with a smile, and then turned to the other students, "Everyone did well this time, but especially Song Yan Ning, her grades rank first in the entire school. Let's give Song Yan Ning a round of applause."
