The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

The air in front of the convenience store was deathly quiet.

A protector of flowers?

When this word was first uttered by someone, everyone thought it was a joke.

However, when the undisputed ice queen of Yunan Middle School personally admitted it again.

Then everyone stopped laughing.

Su Jun's face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.

This seemingly unremarkable kid—

Why should he! ?

At this moment, one of Su Jun's followers looked at Lin Ran, seemed to suddenly realize something, and exclaimed loudly with a look of understanding:

"I know him!"

"This guy is Lin Ran! The worst student in Class 10!"

"It seems he still likes Shen Lingshan, the class beauty of Class 7!"

Upon hearing this, many others around also remembered:

"Oh yeah! There really is such a guy!"

"He's Shen Lingshan's simp from Class 7. He goes to the convenience store every day to buy snacks for his goddess."

"I'm just a gofer."

Listening to the chatter of his underlings around him, Su Jun immediately understood.

He then looked at Lin Ran, his expression turning contemptuous once more:

"So that's what it is-"

"Lin Ran, right?"

"His grades were terrible, and he was a simp for other girls."

"With this kind of behavior, you still want to be Qingyan's protector? Do you think you're worthy?"

These words were met with nods of agreement not only from Su Jun's henchmen but also from many onlookers and students.

One of them was a terrible student, and he was a simp for other girls.

The other is a handsome academic star who excels in both academics and sports, and is a prominent figure at Yunan Middle School.

If we really want to say who is more qualified to be Su Xiaohua's protector.

It's crystal clear.

This time, however, Lin Ran was not allowed to speak.

Su Qingyan stepped forward again, shielding Lin Ran behind her, her cold gaze meeting Su Jun's eyes:

Whether I am worthy or not is up to me to decide, and it is not up to others to tell me what to do.

"besides--"

As she spoke, Su Qingyan paused, then slightly tilted her head to glance at Lin Ran:

"What do you mean by being a tool for other girls?"

"It's just a rumor."

"As for the poor grades..."

Recalling how someone had dominated all the tests during last night's self-study session, and how that pure, authentic London accent had amazed the whole class this morning in English class, Su Qingyan couldn't help but smile slightly again:

"I think he's capable."

"He's much stronger than you, Su Jun."

……

Spoiled since childhood, she was a popular figure at school, admired and adored by countless people.

Su Jun had never been treated with such public contempt before.

and.

Surprisingly, in a comparison, she seemed to have lost to an inconspicuous, ordinary boy.

Listening to Su Qingyan's cool and composed words, and recalling the rare smiles that Su Qingyan had given to someone just now.

This only fueled Su Jun's burning jealousy!

He suppressed the rage within him, trying his best to appear calm, but when he looked at Lin Ran, he couldn't hide the cold, sinister look in his eyes:

"is it?"

"I didn't realize that Lin Ran was such a hidden talent."

"Then let me ask you a question out of curiosity—"

What was your ranking in the last mock exam?

The question had barely been posed when the lackey next to him couldn't wait to answer:

"Brother Jun, I know!"

"Last time I went to the teacher's office, I happened to scan the report card of Class 10. There were more than 300 people in the humanities class, and this kid was ranked 280th!"

"Completely at the bottom!"

Su Jun laughed upon hearing this, looking at Lin Ran with undisguised mockery:

"This is all the result I've got?"

"What makes you so confident that you're not a bottom-of-the-class student?"

Lin Ran, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

"I didn't do well on the last test."

"It doesn't mean it's impossible for a lifetime."

Hearing these words, Su Jun only thought they were just being stubborn, and immediately gave a mocking smile, looking down at Lin Ran:

"Okay."

"Then how about this—"

"Let's make a bet."

"Next week is the second mock exam. If you can get into the top ten in your grade, I'll admit you're capable and give Qingyan to you, how about it?"

Lin Ran glanced at Su Jun and began to patiently educate him:

"Girls are meant to be pursued, not given away as prizes."

"Does your mother know that you're objectifying women like this?"

Su Jun: "???"

Standing next to Lin Ran, Su Qingyan almost burst out laughing.

By then, Su Jun had completely lost his temper and was furious, abandoning all semblance of gentlemanly conduct:

"Cut the nonsense."

"Do you dare?"

"If you get into the top ten, even if you don't rank higher than me, I'll give up on pursuing Qingyan!"

"But if you lose—"

Su Jun paused, his gaze falling on Lin Ran, his tone suddenly turning sinister and revealing a hint of ferocity:

"I want you to take off your clothes and run naked around the school playground three times in front of everyone!"

Another streaking incident?

Upon hearing Su Jun's words, Lin Ran immediately thought of her best friend—

This guy and Zhao Ke probably have things in common.

The onlookers around were already showing excitement and couldn't help but start to stir and jeer.

Su Jun's henchmen then began to jeer at Lin Ran:

"Kid, do you dare?!"

"If you're chickening out, just say so! Stay far away from School Beauty Su from now on!"

Jealousy and rivalry among high school students.

That's so childish...

A mature man in his thirties sighed inwardly.

Then Lin Ran nodded:

"Row."

"make a deal."

[No other meaning.]

[I mainly enjoy watching people run naked.]

……

We walked side by side on the way back to the classroom.

Su Qingyan walked with her hands behind her back, glancing slightly at Lin Ran:

"A master protector of flowers."

"What do you mean?"

Her tone remained calm, yet it couldn't hide the curiosity of the campus belle from Suzhou University.

Of course, the truth couldn't be told to the school beauty's deskmate. Lin Ran scratched her head and simply replied vaguely:

"I just said it offhand."

"I don't think that guy is a good person."

Su Qingyan nodded and gave a light "Oh," as if she had accepted the answer.

However, the little person inside was already beaming with joy:

Oh dear, Lin Ran is so stubborn.

She's clearly feeling threatened and jealous!

Still don’t admit it!

Boys are so cute when they're being stubborn!
