Qiu Shenxing said somewhat embarrassedly, "My mistake. It's my first time being a teacher too, and I hadn't considered that."
His expression turned solemn as he bowed deeply to Xia Chujian in apology. "I shouldn't have asked classmate Xia Chujian to share her exam paper. That was completely wrong. I hope classmate Xia Chujian can forgive me."

With that,
