Chapter 189: 189 Steadfast (First Update)

Wang Kai also found it hard to believe as he swallowed hard.

He thought she was just talking big, yet to his surprise, she really made a move.

He wasn’t sure if that four-eyed geek was just too weak, or if the icy beauty actually had some moves.

It looked like the four-eyed geek must have been hurt badly.

Watching it even made his own knees hurt.

Xiang Dong glanced at the icy beauty’s retreating figure and gave Wang Kai a look that said "take good care of yourself."

Wang Kai felt like his abilities were being questioned again, so he quickly caught up with Xiang Dong, slapped him on the back of the head, and said, "What’s the meaning of that look, huh? You looking down on me, buddy? I’ll have you know I’ve trained too. Give me a few minutes and I can win that chick over, believe it or not?"

Wang Kai wasn’t boasting. He had been practicing Taekwondo since he was six years old, and after over a decade, he was quite skilled. Most people were no match for him.

Unfortunately, the person he was up against was Chu Jin.

Xiang Dong unapologetically said, "I really doubt it. It may hurt to hear this, but that girl you’re talking about, her martial prowess is definitely above yours. So, I think you should just concede early and save yourself the embarrassment."

Xiang Dong, who was known for his spot-on judgement of people, was not wrong.

The icy beauty, being able to take down a guy so easily, must be no ordinary person.

Plus, that innate regal aura she had wasn’t something you could find on just anyone.

"Me, lose?" Wang Kai gave Xiang Dong a disdainful look.

Xiang Dong shook his head and said helplessly, "Let’s just wait and see, then. I don’t mind if you extend the bet to two weeks."

"Damn it!" Hearing this, Wang Kai exploded, "You’re looking down on me, aren’t you? Two weeks? It’s never taken me more than three days to woo a girl, no matter how cold the beauty. They never last more than a week with me. Just you wait and see!"

Wang Kai was quite the veteran when it came to flirting. Whichever girl he set his sights on, be it the campus belle or a cute fresh face—none could escape his charm.

He had never failed, and that’s where his confidence stemmed from.

Smiling, Xiang Dong said, "Bro, confidence is a good thing. I hope you keep it up."

With that, he headed back into the classroom.

"I’ll prove it to you then!" Wang Kai watched Xiang Dong’s departing figure, his eyes gleaming resolutely.

He was determined to win over that icy beauty.

And then break up with her right in front of Xiang Dong.

Make Xiang Dong kneel and sing "Conquer"!

Really, how dare he question his charm!

"Er Fatty," Wang Kai put a hand on Li Er Fatty’s shoulder, "go find out what that chick’s story is."

Li Er Fatty patted his chest, assuring, "Leave it to me. I’ll take care of it perfectly."

With that said, the pair walked off, arm in arm.

Class 10.

With the college entrance exams approaching, the classroom’s atmosphere was getting tenser by the day.

"Jin, Jin, come over and help me with this problem. Damn it, I’ve been at it for ages and still can’t get the right answer." Miao Xinran brightened up seeing Chu Jin coming over, pulled her hand eagerly, and passed her the math test paper.

Miao Xinran was a super top student. It was rare for her to encounter a problem she couldn’t solve.

Chu Jin leaned over to look, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

"You should be using the inverse tangent function for this problem..." Chu Jin grabbed a pen and began to solve the problem seriously. In just a moment, she had completed the question. Her solution was clear and straightforward.

Her handwriting was beautiful, neat, and forceful.

Zhang Fangyi, who was distributing test papers nearby, was also stunned. He didn’t expect Chu Jin to really solve that problem.

It was an advanced question, and he had struggled with it for more than half an hour the day before without success.

But she solved it in just a few minutes.

If it had been Miao Xinran, it wouldn’t have been surprising, but who was Chu Jin?

A notorious underachiever.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed Chu Jin was capable of such a transformation.

Turns out, Chu Jin was indeed not to be underestimated.

"Hey, kiddo," seeing Zhang Fangyi like this, Miao Xinran stood up, tapped his shoulder, and teased, "Staring at our Jin like that, have you taken a liking to our Jin?"

Zhang Fangyi’s face turned red instantly and he quickly took a few steps back, stuttering, "No, no, I haven’t."

Seeing Zhang Fangyi like this, Miao Xinran laughed even harder. "If there’s none, there’s none. What are you hiding for?"

Seeing the two of them like this, Chu Jin’s mood also inexplicably improved, and a bright smile bloomed on the corners of her mouth.

Life like summer flowers.

"This is your English test paper..." Zhang Fangyi carefully placed the test papers onto the two’s desk and then ran off like the wind.

"Hahaha," Miao Xinran laughed so hard she couldn’t even straighten her waist. "Look at how cowardly you’re acting!"

"Alright, alright," Chu Jin tugged at Miao Xinran’s sleeve, "Sit down now, stop teasing him."

Zhang Fangyi was a model student through and through, and he wasn’t at all used to Miao Xinran’s teasing.

"I’m dying of laughter, how can someone be so funny, behaving like a woman, and even blushing." Miao Xinran was laughing so hard tears came out.

"Hey, by the way," Miao Xinran sat down then seemed to remember something and turned her head to look at Chu Jin, "The English speech competition is the day after tomorrow, Jin, are you prepared?"

Miao Xinran was still somewhat worried about the English speech competition.

After all, every class sent their best students, all with a solid foundation.

Moreover, it was heard that there would even be TV stations coming to interview.

Chu Jin was analyzing a math problem and said, "Almost, I’ve memorized the speech by heart; there shouldn’t be any problem."

Right now, what she was most worried about was not English, but math; thankfully, she still had the knowledge from her previous life, so it wasn’t too difficult to learn.

And she was gradually getting back to the level of her past life.

"What’s the theme of your speech?" Xinran continued to ask.

"Life."

Miao Xinran raised her eyebrows. "Life?"

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Yes, life."

Having lived a life once over, she had a whole new understanding of life; this theme couldn’t be more appropriate.

"Life," Miao Xinran stroked her chin, "that theme seems quite niche; it’s unlikely to clash with others, oh right, I heard that the school beauty from Class 5 will also participate in this English speech competition. Jin, you have to work hard, and if you get into the top three, remember to treat me to a meal."

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Sure, no problem, I’ll definitely treat you."

Not to mention the first place; with her level, making it into the top three shouldn’t be a problem.

The last class of the afternoon was still PE.

As usual, Chu Jin went to the fence, ready to climb over and slip away, when she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder.

The deep voice of the PE teacher came from behind.

"Chu Jin, are you planning to skip class again? Tell me, how many PE classes have you skipped now?"

Shoot! Caught in the act of skipping class.

A sudden chill ran through Chu Jin’s heart as she slowly turned her head and gave an embarrassed smile. "Mr. Wu, are you also here to enjoy the scenery?"

Mr. Wu had been aware of Chu Jin for a long time; almost every time it was roll call for PE class, she was absent.

However, students who could study at South Bridge all came from distinguished families, so Mr. Wu didn’t dare to offend her seriously, only saying sternly,

"Chu Jin, if you don’t like attending academic classes, that’s one thing, but why are you skipping PE class too? Hurry up and go to the field to run laps with me if you skip class again, I will have to give you a major demerit."

"Yes, teacher, rest assured, there won’t be a next time."

It seemed that Mr. Wu did not expect Chu Jin to be so cooperative and looked at her unconsciously, "Alright, come with me."

With that, he turned and walked briskly toward the direction of the field.

Chu Jin quickly followed after.

She silently sighed in her heart; she could no longer skip PE classes to go fortune telling. It seemed she would have to extend her fortune telling sessions after school hours in the future.

Class 10’s students had almost all gathered on the field already.

In neat lines.

Seeing Chu Jin being caught by Mr. Wu, Miao Xinran gloated and made faces at Chu Jin.

"Join the team," Mr. Wu glanced at Chu Jin.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jin quickly ran to stand next to Miao Xinran.

"Did Old Wu catch you?" Miao Xinran whispered low.

Chu Jin nodded, sounding somewhat dejected, "Yeah, just my luck."
