Chapter 90: Only Excited When Surpassing Myself (2/2)

Zhao Qingfeng spread his hands, ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ.

“Then why did you dare to say such things up there!”

Shen Lingyao’s heart leaped to her throat.

The bet made previously at the brewery family building was already big enough, and now mentioning becoming the top scorer, if he ended up failing miserably, this joke would probably circulate in the small county town for at least ten, no, maybe even twenty years.

“It actually depends on you whether I can top the exams or not.”

Zhao Qingfeng, seeing Feng’s mother and others returning to their seats, whispered to Shen Lingyao with a mischievous smile, “If you agree to do the same as we did that night at the construction site after I succeed, I’m sure I can become the top scorer.”

“…”

Shen Lingyao blushed instantly.

Scenes from that night immediately flashed through her mind.

But how could she agree to that in person?

Besides, the two of them didn’t even have an official relationship yet.

But she couldn’t bear to disagree, so she shyly wrote something on a piece of paper and threw it over to him.

Zhao Qingfeng opened it to find a sweating emoji, (￣～￣;).

“And…”

Shen Lingyao passed another note, “If you don’t top the exams, this will be the consequence.”

“What?”

Zhao Qingfeng opened it to find an emoji of someone hitting another.

(￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮o(￣▽￣///).

Shen Lingyao also thought that Zhao Qingfeng, apart from wanting to speak his heart, was also deliberately retaliating against Li Sibo.

But Li Sibo was a top student, the hope of the school. What use was Zhao Qingfeng’s show-off?

Thinking this, Shen Lingyao suddenly raised her hand and pinched Zhao Qingfeng wildly, “Even if you’re not great, you have to score above 550 points, or else I won’t let you off, hmph!”

At this time.

Li Sibo had already gone up to the stage.

His speech was also impressive, talking about his years of hard study and striving for success.

The applause was still there, but obviously not as enthusiastic as for Zhao Qingfeng, as people seemed to prefer the storyline of a weakling overcoming the strong.

After speaking, Li Sibo, as usual, stood aside, waiting for the school leaders to announce him as the oath-leading student.

Typically, the school leaders would speak for about three to five minutes.

Li Sibo was somewhat annoyed inside. He originally wanted to announce his intention to become the top scorer first, but Zhao Qingfeng stole his thunder, leaving him quite dissatisfied.

While the school leader was speaking, Li Sibo told the dean of studies he needed to use the restroom and quickly came down to Zhao Qingfeng, frowning and saying in a low voice, “Zhao Qingfeng, you don’t have to keep trying to mess with me, and don’t even think about surpassing me, because that’s impossible.”

Zhang Yang heard this clearly and touched the stool plank.

Zhao Qingfeng held him back and turned to Li Sibo, saying indifferently, “Li Sibo, you’re overthinking it. I’ve never thought about surpassing you.”

Li Sibo was overjoyed, “That’s right, you don’t have the ability!”

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head, “What I mean is, I only get excited when I surpass myself. Others, including you, are just so-so.”

“What!”

Li Sibo was extremely annoyed, “You’re not taking me seriously, you’re arrogant! Just wait, when I become the top scorer, let’s see what you can say! I’m going on stage, it’s my turn to shine now!”

Zhao Qingfeng stopped paying attention to him.

Showing off or not didn’t matter to Zhao Qingfeng. He just wanted to take the opportunity, while everyone was present and the situation allowed, to seriously express his attitude to everyone, to ease their minds.

But unexpectedly.

Deputy County Chief Pang seemed quite interested in Zhao Qingfeng.

Not only did he learn about Zhao Qingfeng’s family situation from Principal Gao, but he also kept watching Zhao Qingfeng after he finished speaking, his gaze becoming more complex.

Meanwhile.

Just as Li Sibo turned to go on stage, Principal Gao suddenly announced, “Student, lead your fellow students in the final oath!”

Li Sibo was stunned on the spot.

So were everyone else.

Even Principal Gao, who made the announcement, didn’t understand why Deputy County Chief Pang suddenly used his authority to make such a decision.

Deputy County Chief Pang didn’t explain his reasons to anyone.

When Zhao Qingfeng went on stage, he smiled and said, “Student Zhao, if you really do become the top scorer in the future, we should find a chance to have a good talk.”
