Chapter 79 They're not even pretending anymore, are they?
There were many onlookers, and within half an hour, every Xinghua student who attended the forum knew about it.
[It's Jiang Tianyao and Shi Sui again. Lately, it's always the same old drama of these two sisters tearing each other apart. I'm so tired of it.]
[This should be the last time. Shi Sui won the bet, but she has to make Jiang Tianyao disappear from her sight forever. That's so cool.]
[Why is Jiang Tianyao jumping around like a clown? Doesn't she want to be in the spotlight enough?]
[You know what, Shi Sui is definitely going to lose this time. She's from the countryside, her studies can't possibly compare to Jiang Tianyao's.]
[I was there, and putting everything else aside, Shi Sui was just too cool! His logic was crystal clear, and he left Jiang Tianyao speechless. If you ask me, losing the bet isn't a big deal; being cool is a lifelong thing!]
[I'm now a fan of Tokiho +1.]
[Have you seen the school beauty pageant rankings? Jiang Tianyao has fallen out of the top 20, Shi Sui is in the top ten, and Shangguan Ying is number one.]
[I'm not saying anything more, I'm going to vote for Shi Sui now, she's so cool.]
Do you guys remember when Jacqueline Sung called Chi Yan an idiot?
[Hahaha, this is hilarious! The Demon King must be furious!]
[What's more terrifying than haters is when true fans turn against them.]
……
Soon, a poll thread appeared on the campus forum.
Jiang Tianyao and Shi Sui made a bet, using their rankings in the class placement exam as the stakes. If Shi Sui lost, she would apologize to Jiang Tianyao and the others. If Jiang Tianyao lost, she and the others would disappear from Shi Sui's sight forever.
One person, one vote; once you've placed your order, it's yours!
[Jiang Tianyao will definitely win, no doubt about it, her grades have always been good.]
[Did you guys see Shi Sui's old high school report card? Holy crap, it was absolutely horrible.]
[Link to discuss Shi Sui's academic performance]
[As expected of a rural school, the test was so easy! They didn't even pass the elementary school level English.]
[Shi Sui was really too impulsive, but I'm a fan of her looks, so I'm willing to vote for her.]
……
Song Xinying scrolled through the comments, opened WeChat to call on her girlfriends to vote for Shi Sui, and then scrolled through several more positive comments about Shi Sui.
"Shi Sui, shall I tutor you?"
Shi Sui: "No need."
Song Xinying: "Although there's only a week and a half left, we should keep pushing—"
It shouldn't be a humiliating defeat.
"It's alright, don't worry."
When Jiang Tianyao made the bet, Shi Sui retrieved her past grades from the system. Her best grade was 112th in the grade.
Xu Chaomu printed out the same test paper for Shi Sui to do, and her score was at least in the top 50 of the grade.
In other words, as long as she doesn't underperform in the exam and Jiang Tianyao doesn't perform exceptionally well, she can win.
“Let me tutor you,” Song Xinying insisted.
"I'm sorry, someone just messaged me offering to tutor me, and I've already agreed."
"Who!?" Song Xinying felt a little wary for no reason. She said, "I'm in the top 10 of the grade. No one has better grades than me."
Shi Sui opened WeChat and showed her the chat conversation.
Song Xinying looked at the chat history:
[Shi Sui, I heard about the bet you made with Jiang Tianyao. I believe you'll win.]
[Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions.]
Do you need me to tutor you?
Okay, thank you.
The two chatted politely, but this nickname—
Song Xinying's eyes widened like saucers: "What! Xu Chaomu!"
Xu Chaomu, who's ranked first in the grade!
He just said, "No one has better grades than me," but now he's proven wrong.
Shi Sui looked bewildered: "What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"He's a genius! He never adds anyone on WeChat, he always keeps to himself, and I've never seen him have any friends."
Song Xinying took a deep breath: "Tell me, Shi Sui, how did you add him on WeChat?"
Shi Sui recalled, "He asked me for it."
Song Xinying was shocked, then looked back and forth across her face, narrowed her eyes, and understood: "I never thought that even a cold and aloof academic genius would be tempted by beauty one day."
"Don't talk nonsense, he and I are just ordinary friends."
After the open class ended, Shi Sui and Song Xinying went back to the classroom together, but as soon as they stepped out of the auditorium, her wrist was grabbed.
It was a banquet at the pool.
The boy waited for her at the entrance of the auditorium, his whole body bathed in the golden sunset, casting a long shadow that made him appear tall and slender.
"You guys chat, I'm leaving now." Song Xinying immediately covered her face and ran off with her other girlfriends, remembering that she had just called Chi Yan an idiot.
Chi Yan led Shi Sui to a sweet osmanthus tree. The sweet fragrance of the sweet osmanthus blossoms in early autumn wafted through the air, and the delicate golden petals resembled stars.
"Did you make a bet with Jiang Tianyao about comparing grades?"
Upon hearing the news, he rushed to the auditorium, but the open class had already begun when he arrived, so he couldn't just barge in.
“Mmm.” Shi Sui nodded. “As long as I win, she can disappear from my sight forever. There’s no better deal than that.”
"You'll have to apologize if you lose," Chi Yan said urgently, but the next second he told her, "Never mind, you won't lose."
"Hmm?" Why are you so confident in her?
"I'll go steal the exam paper for you."
"You're so good to me, my deskmate."
Chi Yan was only happy for a second when he saw Shi Sui tilt her head, lean closer and whisper to him, "I heard that the final exam papers from last semester were leaked. Did you steal them?"
"I don't care about grades, don't talk nonsense." Seeing her cute expression, Chi Yan couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
Shi Sui instinctively wanted to slap his hand away, but then she remembered that this was a money tree.
Pinching your face won't hurt or cause any skin loss, so let him pinch you a couple of times.
It's soft and fluffy, just like a fluffy little cake, and it feels even better than I imagined.
Chi Yan reached out and pinched her other cheek, laughing as he said, "Then it's settled. I'll steal the exam paper for you—no, I'll steal both the exam paper and the answers."
He couldn't speak after both cheeks were pinched.
So Shi Sui pulled his hand away from her face without hesitation and politely declined: "No need. I am very touched that you have such a bold idea, but I don't want you to do anything illegal or against the law for me."
Shi Sui unconsciously took his hand and looked up at him, saying, "Don't worry, I won't lose."
Her eyes squinted in the sunlight, sparkling like dazzling starlight, seemingly possessing a magical power that made people unconditionally believe everything she said.
Therefore, Chi Yan gave up the idea of stealing the exam paper.
Then he regretted it, because in the following days, his deskmate was even busier with studying than before and hardly paid any attention to him.
Even when he tries to talk to her, she just gives him a few perfunctory replies. She's not even pretending anymore, is she?
I feel wronged. I should have just stolen the exam paper.
But soon, Saturday arrived (scratch that), and it was time for the date.
