Chapter 49 (1/2)

“I’ll make sure you go broke this time!”

To Hao Shuai, it was impossible for an average student like Cheng Nuo to ever achieve first place in class. Hence, it was a sure bet that Cheng Nuo would be the one treating him.

At this moment, the students in front of the list suddenly shouted in unison.

“OMG! Cheng Nuo! He’s the top scorer!” someone marveled.

“Really? I thought that the first place was always reserved for Mu Leng!”

“Mu Leng’s second this time. Cheng Nuo is first!”

“Are you kidding me? Did you misread the lines?”

“No way! It’s printed in black and white, right here!”

They were pretty loud, loud enough for Hao Shuai to hear very clearly.

The smile on Hao Shuai’s face froze immediately.

Cheng Nuo patted Hao Shuai’s shoulder and said with a satisfied grin, “Don’t forget the deal, Shuai!”

“I don’t believe it!” Hao Shuai said, springing up from his seat.

Hao Shuai wouldn’t be surprised if Cheng Nuo had made some progress. But the first place? That’s unbelievable!

With a slight glimmer of hope, Hao Shuai squeezed into the crowd and moved towards the list with great difficulty. Then he adjusted his glasses and looked up at the name at the top of the list.

“Cheng Nuo: Chinese: 121, Math: 150, English: 131, Combined Science: 285, Total: 687! 2nd in school and 15th across all schools!”

Mu Leng was in second place with a total of 680 points. She was the fifth in school and 31st across all schools. She only got 135 points in math!

“It was really Cheng Nuo!” Hao Shuai looked up at the ceiling, speechless. He could foresee his next week’s pocket money parting with him.

“Yes? Do you believe it now?” Cheng Nuo grinned when Hao Shuai returned.

“Fine! I’ll treat you!” Hao Shuai said, distressed.

…

On the other side of the classroom.

Xiaoxiao took a photo of the results list and walked to Mu Leng.

“Mu Leng, I’m surprised that you were not first this time!” Xiaoxiao said, showing the photo to Mu Leng.

“What?” Mu Leng looked up. She was busy doing practice questions. Hence, she hadn’t been aware of the ongoing discussion in the class.

“Who could it be? Sun Yang or Wang Qian?” Mu Leng thought.

She had thought that she had done a pretty good job except for the math test. So she hadn’t expected that anyone else would have performed even better than her.

As a smart, pretty girl, Mu Leng had placed high emphasis on her academic results.

She had secured the first place in class 18 several times due to her talent and hard work.

“Who’s first?” Mu Leng asked.

Xiaoxiao pushed her phone to Mu Leng and said mysteriously, “Take a look for yourself.”

“Cheng Nuo? It’s him?!” Mu Leng saw Cheng Nuo’s name on the top of the list at once.

Her heart shuddered when she saw his score.
