Chapter 2333 (1/2)
“We do have to show them as well that we are not people to be easily bullied,” Zhou Li chimed in.
Wu Zilin said in frustration, “Great. Every one of you is saying the same thing, and now I’ve become the bad guy who ruined our team’s unity. Fine, I won’t say it. I’m just thinking of our relations. Since you all think it’s fine, why should I bother stepping up to say this?”
Wu Zilin looked really annoyed, but he did not say anything more.
Lu Man saw the rest of them chattering in hushed tones over there, but she could not hear clearly what exactly they were saying.
Lu Man only gave a cursory glance over there and retracted her gaze, saying to Howard, “Just do it right now. Since everyone is here, you can even let everyone be your witness. After today, we might not have eyewitnesses anymore, so nothing could be guaranteed. That won’t do.”
Lu Man was clearly saying that she wanted to prevent him from acting as if the bet had never happened.
“We agreed on it just now. Whoever loses will go down on their knees to apologize and slap him or herself twice.” Lu Man did not intend to let Howard off at all. “My grade is A+ while you failed. Everyone is here now, so I think they can tell who lost and who won.”
Howard clenched his teeth and gave a cursory glance across the surroundings.
The students he knew were all there, but not a single one stood out to speak up for him.
Even Leo, who was on great terms with him usually, was now standing behind the crowd, pretending as if he was invisible.
“Since you agreed to the bet, you must accept the loss.” Lu Man sputtered out a laugh. “Don’t tell me you’re thinking of reneging?”
Howard did not speak a word. But his silence was akin to admission.
But Lu Man would not let him off just because of this. “Just now, you were the one who suggested this bet first. I didn’t provoke you, you came to provoke me on your own. If I were the one who’d lost, right now, would you let me off and just let it be? You are quite self-righteous when it comes to bullying women, eh?”
Lu Man sputtered out a laugh. “Well, now you lost.”
She raised her eyebrow and said, “Just kneel down.”
Howard: “…”
He hesitated and glanced at the surroundings, but no one spoke up for him.
Professor Howell, who was the judge of the day, had already left.
At such a moment, just like Guo Hai and the others concerned, no student from the acting class would stand out to speak up for Howard at such a moment, because that would be even more embarrassing.
