Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

"Hmph... You three are so bad at basketball, yet you still have the nerve to show off?" a mocking voice sneered.

Zhang Yang looked closely and saw clearly who was stealing his ball: it was that damned kid who had vomited all over him at the opening ceremony and had taken over his dorm room!

"You brat, are you tired of living?" Yu Jialiang, who was standing under the basketball hoop, shouted angrily upon seeing this.

"Before I lose my temper," Zhang Yang stared coldly at Lin Ruofei and said, word by word, "hurry up and throw the ball over here, then get lost!"

"What? You're not convinced that you play badly?" Lin Ruofei said with a sneer while bouncing the ball, "Want to make a bet with me?"

After saying that, Lin Ruofei suddenly raised her hand and threw the basketball in her hand towards the basket...

The basketball flew straight toward the basket without looking back, not even touching the rim, and swished through the net, landing precisely on Yu Jialiang's head as he stood under the basketball hoop.

"Phew..." Lin Ruofei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself with delight, "It's been so many years since I've 'fished,' but thankfully my skills haven't gotten rusty."

Enraged after being hit on the head, Yu Jialiang roared, "How dare you hit me on the head? I'll make you pay today, or I'm not Yu!"

After saying that, Yu Jialiang ran towards Lin Ruofei...

"If you're intimidated by my superb basketball skills and don't dare to bet with me on basketball..." Lin Ruofei glanced at Yu Jialiang, who was rushing over, and said to Zhang Yang without changing her expression, "I'll bet on a fight too!"

Before Zhang Yang could answer, a voice burst into laughter behind Lin Ruofei: "Haha... another betting game has started, that's great!!"

Lin Ruofei turned around and saw a burly, dark-faced man striding towards her...

"Hey Young Master Yang," the burly, dark-faced man said with a grin as he stopped next to Lin Ruofei, "Haven't seen you for half a year. Are you afraid of this short, ugly guy when it comes to playing basketball?"

"I'm afraid of him? Hmph, what a joke!" Zhang Yang curled his lip in disdain.

"Brother, what's your surname?" Lin Ruofei raised her head, sized up the dark-faced man beside her who was well over six feet tall, and couldn't help but ask, "How many grades did you repeat in elementary and middle school before you went to high school?"

Before Lin Ruofei could get a reply from the burly man with the dark face, she was pulled aside by Gao Qiang and Zheng Dayu who had caught up with her...

"Lin, are you crazy?" Zheng Dayu said anxiously, "You actually dared to mess with them? If I had known you rushed over like a monkey to cause trouble, I would have held you back by risking my life!"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Gao Qiang asked in a worried whisper.

"Who is that dark-faced man?" Lin Ruofei ignored the two men's questions and was only concerned with whether the dark-faced man who came later was friend or foe.

Zheng Dayu said softly, "His name is Feng Yongsheng. He's a senior in high school. Rumor has it that his father made his fortune by running underground casinos. Now his father owns many lottery stations and I heard he's made a lot of money!"

“This kid’s nickname is ‘Gambling King’,” Gao Qiang, who was standing to the side, added softly, “No matter what happens, he likes to start a betting game.”

"Why does he look so old? He looks like a man in his thirties," Lin Ruofei couldn't help but complain. "If he weren't still wearing his school uniform, I would have thought it was a teacher!"

"Is he good friends with Zhang Yang and the others?" Lin Ruofei asked immediately afterward.

“As far as I know, their relationship is just so-so,” Gao Qiang replied. “For the previous two years, they were just ordinary classmates.”

"It's much easier if they're not in cahoots!" Lin Ruofei nodded and muttered.

"Hey! You shorty, I'm talking to you!" Standing not far away, Feng Yongsheng pointed at Lin Ruofei and asked loudly, "What kind of bet do you want to make with our young master Yang?"

Ignoring Gao Qiang and Zheng Dayu's attempts to stop her, Lin Ruofei stepped forward and loudly replied, "It's simple. If he loses to me in basketball, he has to let me stay in his dorm for a week!"

"Gambling King" Feng Yongsheng was initially worried that Lin Ruofei's bet was too demanding and that the competitive Zhang Yang would not accept it. However, upon hearing that Lin Ruofei only wanted to stay in Zhang Yang's dormitory for a week, he immediately turned to Zhang Yang with delight and said, "Did you hear that? This kid just wants to stay in your dormitory for a week. You wouldn't be so afraid to bet such a small thing, would you?"

Zhang Yang glanced coldly at Lin Ruofei, who was standing opposite him with a smug look on her face, and then said, "Alright, I'll make a bet with this kid!"

"So what's your bet?" Feng Yongsheng asked Zhang Yang.

“If this kid loses to me, he’ll have to…” Zhang Yang stared intently at Lin Ruofei and said loudly, word by word, “Get…out…of…Yu…Cai!”

“Did you hear that, kid?” Feng Yongsheng turned to Lin Ruofei and said, “If you don’t dare to accept the bet, we’ll stop here. If you do accept the bet… we have to honor our bets. If Zhang Yang loses, you’ll stay in the dormitory for a week. If you lose… you’ll have to leave Yucai Boys’ High School. You’d better think it over!”

"Hey Lin, don't do anything stupid!" Gao Qiang quickly walked to Lin Ruofei's side and whispered, "Is it really worth risking your life for just a place to stay for a week?"

“If you had shared a room with Tian Dazhuang for two nights,” Lin Ruofei said with an extremely pained expression, “you wouldn’t have said that!”

"We've heard a bit about what Tian Dazhuang has done," Zheng Dayu rushed over and whispered to Lin Ruofei, "But you have to weigh the pros and cons. It's really not worth it to gamble your future for just a few nights' accommodation!"

"After I win this game," Lin Ruofei said smugly in a low voice, "just based on this kid's competitive spirit, he'll definitely keep betting against me game after game! Then, I can stay here for weeks on end!"

"How do you know you're sure you'll win?" Zheng Dayu asked, puzzled. "What if you lose?"

"Just because I'm Lin Ruofei, I won't lose!" Lin Ruofei said confidently a minute ago, but then she added slyly in a low voice, "At worst, I'll just deny it if I lose!"

"Didn't you hear Feng Yongsheng say that a bet is a bet?" Gao Qiang hurriedly said, "He won't let anyone who tries to renege on a bet set up by 'Gambling King' Feng Yongsheng get away with it!"

"What good will it do if we don't let them go?" Lin Ruofei said dismissively. "Can they kill us?"

After saying that, Lin Ruofei broke free from Gao Qiang and Zheng Dayu's grasp and strode towards Zhang Yang...

Lin Ruofei walked confidently to Zhang Yang and stood firmly in front of him.

Zhang Yang remained silent, only staring coldly at Lin Ruofei.

“Zhang Yang,” Lin Ruofei smiled slightly and said, “I accept your bet. If I lose, I will leave Yucai Boys’ High School. But don’t be too smug. I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed later because… I will never lose to you!”

"Kid," Zhang Yang pointed his right index finger at Lin Ruofei and said coldly, "Don't be so smug. Just wait until you've cleaned up your mess and are kicked out of Yucai Boys' High School!"

"Alright! Since both sides have accepted the other's bet, let's officially begin the game!" Feng Yongsheng excitedly turned around and shouted to the crowd behind him, "Hey He Shun, come here quickly! Grab a pen and notebook and write it down. Zhang Yang is one to two, this kid is one to ten!"

"Hey! You're here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a thin boy ran out from the crowd of onlookers.

Lin Ruofei sized up the boy named He Shun who ran out of the crowd. He was short and unremarkable in appearance, but he exuded a shrewdness from the inside out.

The skinny He Shun quickly pulled out a notebook and pen from his school uniform pocket, and while writing, he loudly announced: "Zhang Yang bets: borrowing the dormitory for a week, odds 1 to 2; this kid is called Lin Ruofei, bets: leaving Yucai Boys' High School, odds 1 to 10. The betting has started, everyone please place your bets!"

As soon as He Shun finished speaking, some of the boys who had been watching the commotion from the outer circle rushed to his side, waving coins and shouting:

"Zhang Jin from Class 5, Grade 3, bet five yuan on Zhang Yang to win!"

"Liu Tao, Class 2-1, bet 10 yuan on Zhang Yang to win!"

"Xu Xiangyang, Class 3, Grade 3, bet 10 yuan on Zhang Yang to win!"

……

He Shun was seen quickly collecting money while accurately recording the bets, managing to do all the gambling setup work all by himself in an orderly manner.

After observing for a while, Lin Ruofei noticed a problem:

Despite having high odds, nobody bets on them to win!

“Hey, I’m talking to ‘Gambling King Feng’,” Lin Ruofei walked up to Feng Yongsheng and said softly, “Given the current situation, if I lose the match, you’ll have to pay a lot of money!”

"What do you mean?" Feng Yongsheng asked curiously, noticing that Lin Ruofei had been secretly giving him meaningful glances.
