"The third-place awards go to Class 1-6, Class 2-9, Class 2-27..."
"Second place: Class 1-5, Class 2-8, high..."
As one award after another was announced not for their Class 2-20, many students had already lost hope, sighing one after another.
They had thought that at least they could win a prize after being praised by school leaders, but unexpectedly, they didn’t win any.
"Could it be that our class’s blackboard presentation really won’t win any award?" Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Gu Zhihan pursed his lips. Although he also held little hope, he still comforted her, "Isn’t there still the first-place prize yet to be announced?"
"Do you think we will get the first-place prize?"
Luo Mengmeng felt this was a bit far-fetched.
If it had been before the blackboard was destroyed, and he said their class could take first place, she would have completely believed it; but now with their rushed job of a photo wall, Luo Mengmeng really lacked confidence in it.
"Anything is possible." This time, Gu Zhihan wasn’t sure if he was comforting himself or her.
Luo Mengmeng chuckled bitterly twice.
At that moment, the principal had already announced the first-place class, "The class that wins first place this time is Class 2...20!"
As the principal’s words fell, Class 2-20 erupted with an excited shriek.
"Holy shit! Did you hear that? Our class actually got first place!"
"Ahhh! So it wasn’t my ears playing tricks on me!"
"Right? When I first heard it, I thought there was something wrong with my ears!"
"Gu Zhihan, we got first place!" Luo Mengmeng was so excited that she hugged Gu Zhihan right there.
"Ahem! Teachers and students are here, try to restrain yourself a bit." Gu Zhihan, in order not to let others gossip about her, quickly pushed her soft and fragrant body away with a pained expression.
Luo Mengmeng quickly blushed, looked around to see if anyone had noticed her hugging Gu Zhihan, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
At that time, Gu Zhihan teased her on purpose by whispering in her ear, "If you want to hug me, I’ll let you hug all you want when we get home."
"I, I didn’t!" Luo Mengmeng raised her book embarrassedly, blocking her face.
The class had also become noisy due to their first-place win in this blackboard competition, chattering endlessly in excitement.
The homeroom teacher, fearing that the noise would attract school leaders, hurried to the podium and signaled everyone to quiet down, "Alright, alright, I know everyone is very happy now, but don’t forget that the culprit who destroyed our class’s blackboard still hasn’t been caught..."
As she mentioned this, the happiness on everyone’s faces instantly vanished.
A serious expression appeared on Luo Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan’s faces as well.
This incident was clearly not an accident, but a blatant act of sabotage!
So who could be so malicious?
The homeroom teacher first asked Gu Zhihan, "Class president, did you lock the doors and windows last night?"
"I remember very clearly, I had them all locked," Gu Zhihan stood up and answered, his voice leaving no room for doubt.
"I can bear witness." Luo Mengmeng was an eyewitness, and she quickly raised her hand.
The homeroom teacher nodded, then followed up by asking, "Then when you came in this morning, did you see any signs of the classroom’s doors and windows having been tampered with?"
"No..." Gu Zhihan frowned and shook his head, "This vandal seemed to have a key to our class."
But the only person with the keys to Class 2-20 was clearly him alone.
