Song Jingwan grabbed An Ruoyao’s hand and slapped her own face with it. Before An Ruoyao managed to react, she heard a crisp slap, and Song Jingwan’s face turned red.
“You…”
An Ruoyao quickly pulled her hand back. “I didn’t really blame you. Why did you do that?”
The two had always been on good terms; this was the first time either of them hit the other.
An Ruoyao looked at the face with the red mark and felt extremely guilty.
“It was my fault. As long as you’re not upset at me, it’s worth it even if you hit me a few more times.” Song Jingwan smiled as she grabbed An Ruoyao’s hand again. “Ruoyao, don’t be angry at me, okay?”
At this point, An Ruoyao couldn’t possibly continue being upset.
She nodded. “Fine, I won’t blame you.”
Her heart was just a little uncomfortable.
“I knew you treated me the best!” Song Jingwan grabbed onto her affectionately. “Ruoyao, you are my only friend now. If you ignore me as well, then I might as well die!”
“That’s enough. Let’s not talk about something as misfortunate as death.”
The two reconciled. They said a few words and each left in their own car.
“Tch—”
Tang Xinrou crossed her arms and watched as the cars left.
“What an impressive fake. Her acting is so bad, but she still believed her?”
Xu Yue’s lips curved. “She’ll regret it.”It went without saying, it was clear who they were referring to.
Tang Xinrou shrugged. Leaning over, she climbed into the car. “It has nothing to do with me. I love watching self-deprecating shows like this.”
If there was an opportunity to watch a dog-eat-dog show in the future, Tang Xinrou swore she would be there to watch it and provide her support.
…
The day of the result arrived in the blink of an eye.
The teachers received the results early. From the moment that he stepped into the schoolyard, Chang Qing had a depressed expression. Even when the usual students greeted him, he completely ignored them.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhongyun held onto his thermos proudly.
He never imagined that the third class would boost his reputation in such a way.
They managed to get such good results by cramming toward the end. If they had started from the same level as the first class, what would the outcome have been? Would they all be considered geniuses?
Oh, his students had worked hard!
“Mr. Chang, good morning~”
The top 100 ranked names were placed on the school bulletin board. On the way to his classroom, Chang Qing deliberately walked past it.
The third class did not keep a low profile, so most of the students and teachers were aware of their bet with the first class.
Initially, it wasn’t necessary for everyone to gather around the bulletin board. But they wanted to watch a good show and be among the first to receive the latest news, so there were more people there than in previous years.
“You guys must have cheated!”
Chang Qing frowned. “You’re a bunch of troublemakers. I remember the third class ranked last in the mock exams!”
“Cheated? Our results are much better than the first class’. Mr. Chang, if you want to slander us, you better have some evidence. If you want to say that my students cheated, you need to prove it to me. Otherwise, show me someone who can do better than my students or you should apologize!” Wang Zhongyun was unusually tough as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Chang Qing.
“Apologize?”
Chang Qing laughed in disdain. “Do you think you’re worthy?”
“That doesn’t matter. I just want to know if our bet is still valid.”
What was the bet again?
Oh…
They bet on the final exams. The loser had to resign from their job.
Chang Qing’s expression changed. “I don’t know what bet you’re talking about!” he humphed. “The third class definitely cheated. I will go speak to the principal right now!”
