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

A middle-aged male teacher carrying a poster of student rankings hurried over from a distance.

This means that the final ranking results of the second mock exam will soon be revealed.

But for some people standing in front of the honor roll right now...

It seems that it no longer matters.

Su Jun's gaze fell on Lin Ran, filled with undisguised contempt and the smug mockery of a victor:

"Lin Ran".

"Do you understand now?"

How big is the gap between you and me?

Total score 634.

Third in the humanities class.

Such achievements, laid bare before him, were enough to make him arrogant and conceited.

Lin Ran, however, merely glanced at Su Jun, looking puzzled.

"No hurries."

"My results haven't come out yet, have they?"

Before Su Jun could speak, Cui Qianqian, who harbored extreme resentment towards Lin Ran, began to laugh loudly:

"Do we still need to wait?"

“Su Jun got third place in the grade.”

"You've always been at the bottom of your class, how many points can you expect this time?"

Even if you score an extra hundred or two points, you still won't be able to catch up with them!

Su Jun chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and appeared extremely magnanimous, as if victory was assured:

"fine."

"The bet was already agreed upon."

"I don't need him to score higher than me. As long as he can get into the top ten in the grade, I'll consider it a loss."

As he spoke, his gaze returned to Lin Ran, his eyes filled with a mocking, cat-and-mouse-like expression:

"But you don't really think..."

"Do you think you can get in?"

Shen Lingshan then reverted to her proud little princess demeanor, looking down at Lin Ran with disdain:

"Lin Ran, now that things have come to this, what is there left for you to hold on to?"

"If I were you, I would just honestly admit defeat and apologize to Su Jun right now."

"maybe--"

"He might be lenient with you and let you avoid making a fool of yourself!"

Lin Ran laughed upon hearing this and shook his head:

"I know you're in a hurry..."

Before he could finish speaking, a clear and pleasant voice smoothly followed:

"But don't rush."

It was Su Qingyan who answered.

Lin Ran was taken aback and subconsciously looked at his classmate, the school beauty. Su Qingyan also paused for a moment after speaking and subconsciously turned to look at Lin Ran.

This sudden and subtle understanding caught both of them off guard.

But this tacit understanding, when seen by Su Jun and Shen Lingshan, suddenly intensified their jealousy and anger.

Su Jun sneered:

"Okay!"

"Let's take a look together then."

"I'll make you give up on that idea completely!"

Shen Lingshan also sneered:

"Correct."

"Someone is determined to embarrass themselves in public—"

"You can't blame anyone else for that!"

This is the moment.

The middle-aged male teacher had already walked over, looked at the large group of people gathered in front of the honor roll, and waved:

"Give."

The students retreated like a receding tide.

As soon as the middle-aged male teacher stepped forward with the huge poster of the student rankings and began to put it up, a swarm of students gathered around him again.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

I strained my eyes to see the specific rankings of the results on the poster, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

……

The honor roll lists the top fifty in humanities and the top one hundred in science.

The middle-aged male teacher used a brush dipped in glue to slowly paste the poster from bottom to top.

and so.

The students gathered around the honor roll strained their eyes, and the first things they could see were the 50th, 40th, and 30th students in the humanities...

Further up.

Little by little, I climbed to 20th, 15th, and then the top 10...

For example, Feng Tiange, the academic representative of Class 11, was ranked 16th in the humanities grade.

Zhou Hua, the English class representative of Class 10, ranked thirty-fourth.

Further up.

Ninth place, eighth place, seventh place...

Someone's name was never listed.

At this moment, the students around the honor roll couldn't help but look at Lin Ran, their eyes revealing expressions of "just as expected" or schadenfreude and regret.

Su Jun felt increasingly triumphant, his chest seemingly filled with a strong sense of vengeful pleasure. His gaze fell on Lin Ran, and he laughed mockingly:

"How about it?"

"Now that you've seen it, have you given up?"

"A bet's a bet, a loss's a loss."

"Tonight, the entire grade and the whole school are waiting to see you take off your clothes and perform on the playground, hahaha!"

Lin Ran's lips curled into a smile:

"Don't worry."

"hold on."

Shen Lingshan, standing beside her, burst out laughing, her laughter equally undisguised in its schadenfreude and glee.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Only the top five are left!"

"You didn't even make it into the top ten. Do you really think you're capable of getting into the top five in your grade?"

Cui Qianqian loudly mocked and echoed:

"that is!"

"Lin Ran, why don't you just say that you scored higher than Su Jun and Su Qingyan this time!"

"Maybe you're the top student in that grade—"

The words have not yet fallen.

But suddenly, a deafening roar was heard not far away:

"Brother Ran!!!!"

Swish it!

Startled, everyone instinctively turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

But then Zhao Ke rushed towards the honor roll from the teaching building in a frantic, stumbling manner:

"Ran-ge!!"

Sweating profusely, Zhao Ke rushed over, panting heavily, yet his face was flushed with excitement, as if he were at the peak of his arousal. He gripped Lin Ran's shoulder tightly, his voice trembling:

"I saw the results at Tie Mian Chun's place!"

"Your ranking..."

“Yes, yes—”

Hearing such an excited and trembling tone, and seeing the extremely excited expression on Zhao Ke's face.

Sudden.

An ominous premonition, like wildly growing weeds, instantly arose in the hearts of Su Jun, Shen Lingshan, Cui Qianqian, and the others.

In full view.

Zhao Ke took a deep breath and shouted excitedly at the top of his lungs:

"He's number one in the grade!!!!!"

All of a sudden.

It was as if the whole world had frozen in time.

The sky was bright and the midday sun shone brightly on the campus of Yunan Middle School.

At that moment, in front of the honor roll, the middle-aged male teacher had just finished pasting the top of the poster ranking the students' grades.

Third place: Su Jun, with a total score of 634.

Second place: Su Qingyan, with a total score of 643.

At the very top of the ranking list, a line of text is clearly printed.

First place.

Lin Ran.

Total score: 648.

Cui Qianqian froze instantly.

Shen Lingshan's gloating and mocking expression froze completely, as if she had turned to stone.

Su Jun's pupils suddenly shrank to an extreme size in disbelief, and his brain exploded as if the whole world had collapsed.

At this moment, Su Qingyan simply turned her head to look at Lin Ran.

Recalling the same shock, disbelief, and overjoyed feeling I had after comparing exam answers with someone last night.

A smile involuntarily crept into her eyes:

[This little classmate.]

[It truly benefited everyone, including her...]

[What a huge surprise! I never expected.]

Lin Ran looked at Su Jun and calmly spoke:

"It seems——"

"Tonight is your performance."
