Chapter 29

An Yao’s body slightly trembled, and her face turned pale. She shook her head, looking at a loss.

Teacher Liu’s face darkened even more. She was so furious to know that a student had said that she had no ethics as a teacher and even disgraced her profession.

If these words spread out, others might gossip about her.

She always valued her reputation the most.

“An Yao, I just wanted to tell everyone that some students in our class have poor grades. And they drag down the overall standing of our class. But did I mention any specific name? How did you know that I was mocking Lan Xiao?” With a darkened expression, Teacher Liu slammed the book in her hand on the rostrum and glared at An Yao.

An Yao trembled. Soon enough, tears welled up in her eyes.

“Teacher Liu...”

“An Yao, come to my office after the exam. Everyone be quiet and start answering.” Teacher Liu didn’t want to listen to An Yao anymore, so she interrupted her at once.

All the students fell into silence. They looked at each other, picked up their pens, and started answering the test.

An Yao also sat down and looked at Lan Xiao with an aggrieved expression on her face. She complained, “Xiao Xiao, how can you do this to me? I’m only concerned about you.”

Lan Xiao asked in confusion, “Yao Yao, what’s wrong? Didn’t you say those words to me? I just did what you said.”

An Yao blushed upon hearing what Lan Xiao said. Her heart was filled with anger.

She clenched her fists, bit her lips, and looked at Lan Xiao resentfully.

All throughout her school life, she had never been called to the teacher’s office to be criticized. For her, this would be an unprecedented humiliation.

A trace of darkness flashed across her eyes as she turned around, grabbed her pen, and began to answer the test in silence.

Lan Xiao sneered and raised her eyebrows. Her mood lightened up after what happened.

An Yao saw her as a fool. But in the end, she hit her own feet with the stone in her hand. This was the retribution that An Yao deserved.

After taking the test, Lan Xiao clenched her fists and massaged her sore arms.

“Such a pretentious woman! She will be in the last place after all. Does she think she can get first place in the class. Humph!” Fu Yunke, who was sitting in front of Lan Xiao, murmured in a low voice.

Lan Xiao’s eyebrows raised slightly. She was just relaxing her arms, and yet, someone had already picked on her.

Now that she had been provoked, she couldn’t just let it go.

She raised her foot and kicked Fu Yunke’s chair in front of her.

“Hey, Fu Yunke! How about we make a bet?”

Fu Yunke stiffened. He felt that Lan Xiao was really behaving strangely today.

Her words and actions were totally different from before. Right now, she even took the initiative to talk to him and make a bet with him. He felt like she was setting up a trap.

However, Lan Xiao was just a little girl. He believed that she wasn’t capable of causing serious troubles.

“Bet on what?”

“I bet that this time, you must be in the last place in our class,” Lan Xiao replied proudly, with so much confidence on her face.

Fu Yunke laughed mockingly.

“With your history of handing in blank test papers all the time, who will dare to compete with you for the last place? Although there are many questions in the test that I can’t answer, I can make wild guesses. As long as I luckily get one or two correct answers, I won’t get a zero. But you? Ha-ha! You only get zero all the time.

You really want to bet with me, huh? You don’t only want to lose face by getting zero in the exam, you also want everyone to know about it. All right. Since you wish for it, let’s make it as big as possible. How about we go to the school bulletin board and announce our bet? Let’s make everyone in the whole school see how you are going to lose face.”
