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

As time quietly passed.

The announcement of the second mock exam results rankings, to be revealed by the old teacher Tie Mianchun, is drawing ever closer.

Everyone became increasingly tense, expectant, and restless.

In fact, a large portion of these people were not even nervous or anxious about their results.

I was just there out of pure curiosity and a desire to watch the drama unfold.

The soul of gossip burns fiercely.

They eagerly awaited their arrival.

I really want to see the rankings of this second mock exam results announced—

As the two main protagonists of the biggest recent controversy, what are the academic results of Lin Ran and Su Jun?

Especially the former!

As the date approaches, students in the senior year of high school, both in humanities and science classes, are becoming increasingly excited and discussing the matter.

"The results will be announced soon!"

"I heard that Su Jun from Class 13 of the humanities stream asked the teacher for the answers and estimated his score right after the exam."

"Minimum guarantee of 635!"

"Given the difficulty of this exam, a score of 635 is definitely enough to secure a place in the top five, or even the top three, in the humanities stream!"

"It might even threaten the ranking of School Beauty Su!"

"That Lin Ran from Class 10... I've never even heard of him. He used to be at the bottom of the class, in the bottom 10%."

"We're doomed this time, hahaha!"

Aside from ordinary passersby who are just there to watch the spectacle.

Those who had interacted with Lin Ran before were also gloating.

For example, Guo Xiaoqing and Feng Tiange from Class 11.

Last weekend, while hiking in the park, I unexpectedly ran into Lin Ran and Su Qingyan.

Naturally, I have a deep impression of someone, but I also don't think much of them.

When gossiping with her close girlfriends, Guo Xiaoqing still acted like a haughty little princess, her face full of disdain and contempt, and she curled her lip:

"That Lin Ran, I've met her before."

"He's only somewhat handsome, but he's nowhere near as good-looking as Tian Ge, let alone Su Jun."

"I don't know what kind of drug he gave Su Qingyan to trick her into going to the park with him."

"This time... just wait to embarrass yourself!"

As the class's academic representative and also a top student, Feng Tiange appeared reserved and aloof when talking with classmates and friends.

I can only describe it in two words—

"ridiculous!"

"I estimate my score to be 620 this time, which should be enough to get into the top 15 in the liberal arts category."

"Su Jun's estimated score is 635, he's definitely a top-two contender!"

"That Lin Ran?"

"I think he'd be lucky to get 420!"

……

A flood of opinions and comments followed.

At lunchtime, Zhao Ke, Lin Ran's best friend, couldn't sit still any longer and rushed over to report the situation to Lin Ran:

"Brother Ran, something terrible has happened!"

"Everyone in the entire grade is talking about you and Su Jun right now!"

"And they're all overwhelmingly pessimistic about you; many are just waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!"

Lin Ran nodded: "Oh, then I'm going to eat."

Zhao Ke nearly fainted from anger: "Brother! What time is it and you're still thinking about food?"

Then Su Qingyan got up and walked over, greeting Lin Ran with a calm expression:

"Let's go eat. What are we having today?"

Lin Ran instantly perked up:

"You're treating, so you get to decide!"

Zhao Ke: "..."

Su Qingyan's gaze shifted to Zhao Ke, her eyes narrowing slightly:

"You want to eat too?"

Zhao Ke jolted awake, immediately shaking his head vigorously with a fawning smile: "How could that be! I don't want to, I don't want to!"

"Then you may leave."

"Alright, squad leader! I'll take my leave now!"

noon.

Alan's Restaurant near the school gate.

It was still the rich, beautiful schoolgirl classmate who treated them to dinner.

Lin Ran didn't have to pay for her own meals, and she had a great appetite, eating heartily with great relish.

Sitting opposite Lin Ran, Su Qingyan took a few bites with her chopsticks, then rested her chin on her hand and began to admire his eating habits. Suddenly, she asked:

"confident?"

Lin Ran didn't even look up, continuing to eat voraciously, and mumbled a reply:

"Invincible!"

It was a casual remark, yet it carried a great deal of composure and confidence.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyan's lips curled into a smile. She stretched languidly, then smiled sweetly.

"Row."

"Then later—"

"I'm just waiting to see what happens."

This smile was like a hundred flowers blooming and glaciers melting.

The sight was so stunning that it left the students at the other tables speechless, so much so that they dropped their chopsticks on the floor and forgot to pick them up.

Lin Ran looked up casually and happened to see that bright smile.

They were equally stunned.

Compared to the aloof demeanor of her usual classmate, the school beauty, this smile was breathtakingly beautiful and dazzlingly radiant.

Coming to his senses, Lin Ran subconsciously blurted out a word of praise:

"You look even better when you smile like this than usual."

Now it was Su Qingyan's turn to be stunned.

Realizing what had happened, this icy female CEO from her previous life surprisingly felt a surge of shyness and fluster, a blush suddenly spreading across her face:

"What...what should I say..."

Lin Ran also realized what was happening, and immediately blushed and hurriedly explained:

"Nothing, nothing... I was just kidding!"

The rain is coming.

A major battle is imminent.

The two teenagers, however, started a sweet, ambiguous romance here.

If others saw this, they would probably curse with envy and jealousy.

You are truly a despicable child!

But rather.

The two seemed to take the impending storm less seriously.

It seems that the more unhurried they appear.

Victory is assured.

……

I finished my meal slowly.

When Lin Ran and Su Qingyan walked back, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon.

It seems that the time for the release of the second mock exam results rankings, as mentioned by our teacher, Tie Mian Chun, is not far off.

Enter the campus through the school gate.

As they passed by the teaching building, the two noticed that a large crowd had gathered near the honor roll not far away.

Su Qingyan raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a look of surprise:

"The results have already been released?"

Lin Ran walked closer and found that the honor roll was still empty; the new ranking list for the second mock exam results had not yet been posted.

The students gathered here probably knew that it was almost time, so they waited here in advance.

I want to wait for the latest, fresh information.

Lin Ran didn't plan to wait.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the classroom with the school beauty as his deskmate.

Suddenly, two voices, one male and one female, rang out simultaneously:

"Lin Ran!"

Lin Ran stopped and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Then the crowd parted, and a man and a woman walked out separately.

The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was sweet and lovely.

For Lin Ran.

They were all very familiar old acquaintances—

Su Jun.

Shen Lingshan.

Unexpectedly, the two of them ended up together at this time.

Su Jun looked at Lin Ran with a condescending and mocking expression, and sneered:

"What, you knew the results were coming out soon?"

"Did you come here specifically to see for yourself just how badly you lost?"

"Let me tell you, today is the day you, Lin Ran, will be utterly disgraced at Yu Nan Middle School!"

Shen Lingshan, standing to the side, also looked at Lin Ran, her eyes filled with undisguised satisfaction and a haughty, superior air.

"Lin Ran".

"I don't know who gave you the courage to make a bet with Su Jun."

"I was even considering whether to give you another chance to pursue me."

"But now it seems there was no need for that at all."

"Someone like you."

"Not only is he not worthy to be Su Jun's opponent."

"Besides, she's not even qualified to pursue me!"
