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

I rode a Maybach home from school.

This is the first time I've ever received such treatment.

Even Lin Ran, who was reborn, found it novel and was not at all awkward. He got into the car, looked around confidently, and then glanced out the window.

Of course, he also made sure to politely greet and thank the driver, "Uncle Zhou," in the front seat.

"Uncle Zhou, this is troublesome."

"Is this the first time you've given such a nice car away as a gift?"

Uncle Zhou, still shaken and unable to calm down, subconsciously sighed and nodded in agreement upon hearing this:

"yes--"

He's been a member of the Su family for so many years.

But this was the first time I'd ever seen Miss Su using her own car to take other guys home!

But the words are not yet finished.

The question was already answered by Su Qingyan, who was sitting next to someone in the back row, with a calm and indifferent remark:

"Not at all."

"I've given rides to quite a few people along the way."

"You're not the first one, so don't misunderstand."

"Really?" Lin Ran was surprised and curious. She didn't expect that her usually aloof and cold classmate, the school beauty, would offer other students a ride.

Uncle Zhou in the driver's seat reacted instantly, immediately changing his mind and nodding vigorously, his expression solemn as if he were taking an oath to join the army:

"Yeah!"

"Miss Su is usually kind to everyone and especially good to her classmates!"

"Whenever he has nothing to do, he'll ask other classmates for a ride!"

Lin Ran nodded in understanding, then looked at Su Qingyan beside him, who remained calm and composed. He realized that he still knew too little about his school beauty deskmate.

That's a bit presumptuous of me.

Ashamed. Ashamed.

The Maybach is driving on the road.

Watching the scenery rush past the car window, Lin Ran, idly chatting with Uncle Zhou in the driver's seat in the back seat, decided to strike up a conversation.

"correct."

“Last time when my classmate and I rode our bicycles home, I think I saw a Maybach that looked similar to yours, Uncle Zhou.”

He then made a joke:

"My classmate thought he was being followed, haha—"

Laughter rang out inside the carriage.

But the air inside the carriage seemed to freeze for a moment.

Uncle Zhou's hands gripping the steering wheel stiffened slightly.

Su Qingyan, sitting next to someone in the back row, remained calm and composed, offering a light and indifferent comment:

"It's just a coincidence."

"There are plenty of Maybachs in Yu Nankai."

"Uncle Zhou, you're right, aren't you?"

In the driver's seat, Uncle Zhou instantly straightened his back and spoke with unwavering resolve:

"Yeah!"

"There must be at least a hundred or two hundred! You could easily hit three or five with a random stone, hahaha—"

His laughter was forced and cheerful, masking his guilty conscience.

"I see..." Lin Ran nodded in realization.

There were no surprises along the way.

Except for the Su family's personal driver in the driver's seat, whose heart rate was soaring to 180 miles per hour.

The vehicle speed remained stable.

They safely and securely escorted Lin Ran home.

The Maybach was parked in the open space in front of Lin Ran's house.

Lin Ran opened the car door and got out, politely thanking Su Qingyan and Uncle Zhou, the driver in the driver's seat, before preparing to close the door and turn to leave.

But just before closing the door, the man glanced at the spot where the Maybach was parked, and seemed to vaguely remember something, a look of confusion on his face:

"Hey--"

"This car, this spot..."

"Why does it look so familiar?"

The harmonious atmosphere suddenly froze again!

In her previous life, Su Qingyan was the female CEO of a listed group, and at this moment, her strong mental fortitude was perfectly displayed.

He glanced at Lin Ran indifferently.

Speak as if nothing has happened:

"illusion."

"You think too much."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, he pressed the window button without changing his expression, and the window slowly rolled up.

Then, Uncle Zhou's forced, hearty laughter came from the driver's seat:

"Yeah!"

"It must be your imagination, Kobayashi. Anyway, we're leaving now. See you next time, hahaha!"

The car windows were completely closed.

next second.

I heard the Maybach engine start.

Accompanied by a deep rumble.

The dark and deep Maybach disappeared in a flash, as if its tail was on fire, and fled into the distance.

Lin Ran was left standing there, somewhat stunned and puzzled.

"Is it... just my imagination?"

same moment.

Inside the Maybach, now driving on the road again.

Su Qingyan, sitting in the back seat, thought about the bewildered look on someone's face before she closed the car window.

A slight smile involuntarily curved the corners of his lips:

[You silly goose.]

Then, as if remembering something, she looked towards the driver's seat in the front:

"Uncle Zhou."

Uncle Zhou, sitting in the front driver's seat, suddenly snapped back to reality:

"exist!"

Su Qingyan spoke calmly and lightly:

"Smile more naturally next time."

Uncle Zhou was covered in sweat:

"Yes!"

……

the next day.

Tuesday.

Yunan Middle School held its second mock exam.

Inside the classroom exam room, Lin Ran sat in a row at her desk, looking at the exam paper for the first subject that the proctor had handed out.

His eyes swept over the questions on the exam paper.

It felt like an incredibly familiar and dear old friend.

Lin Ran smiled slightly.

Pick up the pen.

At that moment, his aura shifted from restrained composure to a sharp, unsheathed sword.

Performance time.

Start!

……

The second mock exam lasted two days.

Humanities students take three subjects: Chinese, Mathematics, and English, plus a comprehensive humanities subject that combines politics, history, and geography.

It was all declared over on Wednesday afternoon.

Normally, after all the second mock exams are completed in each year—

This also means that all senior high school students have completed their subject review courses.

The teacher stopped giving formal lessons.

Give the time back to the students to review and organize their notes.

For most senior high school students, finishing the second mock exam is a huge relief.

You can relax completely.

There is enough time to carefully consider how to allocate the last month before the college entrance examination.

But this time.

For many senior students at Yunan Middle School, the end of the second mock exam does not mean they can relax.

Quite the opposite——

After the second mock exam ended, for the next two days, the entire senior class of Yunan Middle School seemed to be shrouded in an eerie atmosphere of undercurrents.

Because of a certain piece of gossip, it has spread like wildfire throughout the entire grade and even the entire campus in the past few days.

"Su Jun from Class 33 of Senior High School, and a guy named Lin Ran from Class 30 of Senior High School."

"In order to win over the school beauty Su Qingyan."

"I'm betting on my ranking in this second mock exam!"

"Whoever loses has to give up the competition for the school beauty."

"They even want to run naked on the playground!"

Who is Su Jun?

He is a handsome and academically gifted student who is known to everyone at Yunan Middle School and is the heartthrob of countless girls.

In every major exam, their ranking consistently placed them in the top five or even the top three in their grade.

But who exactly is this Lin Ran?

I've never even heard of him; he's basically some clueless, reckless bystander.

Regarding this bet, some people are talking about it with great interest, some are sneering and disdainful, and some are curious and looking forward to it.

It was in this atmosphere.

Time passes slowly.

It was Friday morning.

Countless senior high school students were completely invigorated!

Because this is the day when the results and rankings of the second mock exam at Yunan Middle School will be released!
