Life's a Play, and Everything Depends on Acting

Through Yun Xi, news of Zhao Yumo's sudden illness and hospitalization spread like wildfire throughout the senior grade level.

The 29th of the month was the date for the preliminary stage of the English competition. From the teacher who'd visited Zhao Yumo, they'd heard that she had a fever and a sore throat. There was probably no hope for her participating in this competition.

Many knew that Zhao Yumo came from a family of translators, so they felt bad for her.

But some who were her rivals felt gleeful. The disqualification of a formidable rival secretly made them happy.

Zhou Chengzhe looked regretful when he mentioned Zhao Yumo in front of his teachers and classmates, but he was actually happier than anyone else deep inside.

For others, without Zhao Yumo, their rankings might go up by a little, but for Zhou Chengzhe, Zhao Yumo's absence was directly related to his future.
