If Annie answered it correctly, then Henry was not surprised.
This is a matter of course, Annie’s math results in the class the best.
But the person who answered the question is Jon.
Jon’s academic result in the class was very bad, especially his math.
Now that he said the correct answer, Henry had a doubt.
Soon, Henry thought of two possibilities.
Either Jon had randomly chosen the correct answer. After all, Jon had a one-in-four chance of getting it right. He was just lucky.
Or he knew the answer through Annie next to him.
The second possibility was more likely to be the case.
And Jon was sitting next to Annie, so it was easy to see Annie’s answer.
But even though Henry had guessed the result, he couldn’t say much.
Because he just wanted everyone to stand up to the answer, and Jon would say the right answer.
There was one more thing. Although Henry was mean, he was extremely strict with his students.
But he targeted those students who had the talent to learn, but didn’t study hard, and were extremely lazy.
Jon often asked him questions and studied seriously.
Henry had always seen Jon’s hard work. He would not blame such a student if he could not answer the question.
“Jon, the answer is correct. You can sit down. Let’s continue with the next question.” Henry continued with the question.
Everyone was a little surprised.
They didn’t expect Jon to be able to give the correct answer.
But soon, everyone noticed Annie, who was beside Jon.
They had the same thoughts as Henry. Jon must had peeked at Annie’s answer before answering.
Jon sat back down and read quietly.
He didn’t intend to explain the misunderstanding.
If everyone knew that he had answered the question with his own ability, it would have been troublesome.
It was hard to explain the fact that his math improved too quickly.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to get rid of the label of being a academically-poor student.
As he opened the book, the sound of increasing experience kept ringing in his mind.
Soon, it was the time after school in the afternoon. A group of students left the campus one after another.
Naturally, Jon did not continue to stay in the classroom. With the system, he would gain experience as long as he opened the book. There was no space restriction so he could do it anywhere.
Compared to sitting in the classroom in a daze, wasn’t it more comfortable to lie on the bed at home?
Soon, Jon left the school.
The scenery around him changed from colorful high-rise buildings, luxurious cars, and brightly dressed urban beauties to old, cracked bungalows and used cars that cost few thousand dollars. Everyone here wore rough, mended clothes.
Jon moved from a busy neighborhood to a slum, where he lived.
A few years ago, his parents died in a car accident.
He and his sister Sandy were the only ones left in the family.
Sandy was about the same age as Jon and was in high school. She loved to study, and her grades were good, and she was popular in her class.
But when her parents died, they had ran out of money source.
If nothing was changed, both of them would starve to death, let alone go to school.
So Sandy did not hesitate to drop out of school and go to a hotel to work as a waitress.
She let Jon to continue go to school.
When she got her salary every month, Sandy would pay the school fee first and give Jon enough money to live on.
She would only consider herself when she made sure Jon could go to school normally.
In Sandy’s words, she was the older sister and had to take care of her younger brother.
But even if Sandy worked, her meager salary could barely support the daily expenses of the two of them.
The siblings could only rent a house and live in such a poor area.
Although the situation was difficult, Sandy was optimistic and positive every day. Her heart was full of sunshine.
With her, the sadness and bitterness in one’s heart would be swept away.
Jon turned the key and opened the door.
The house was not very big. It was a little small for two people.
It was old and had not been repaired for a long time. When it rained, the house would leak.
Although the house was simple, everything was in good order.
The room was also very clean, without any dust or dirt.
There were some fresh flowers in the vase on the table.
It made the small room feel very warm.
Sandy was very diligent in cleaning and tidying the house every day.
Then, the smell of food wafted over.
Jon smelled the fragrance and felt a little hungry.
At that moment, there was a bustle in the kitchen.
It was a woman in a long black dress. She was tiptoeing and finding something in the cupboard.
Her golden hair fell on her shoulders.
Her facial features were beautiful. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her big, watery eyes were pure and flawless.
The black dress she was wearing was made of coarse fabric. It was extremely cheap.
However, it was very clean and spotless. There was also a faint smell of flower on it.
Moreover, when she wore it on her body, she had an elegant temperament that was different from ordinary people.
She did not look like a resident of the slums. Instead, she looked like a female celebrity who was walking on the runway of a fashion magazine.
Her lower abdomen with a waistband and her long, smooth legs were all the perfect figures that women envied.
This was Jon’s sister, Sandy.
“Jon, you’re back just in time!”
Sandy’s eyes lit up when she saw Jon coming home.
“I have too much to do. Can you help me wash the vegetables?”
