Chapter 42 - Bet with Ye Feng


    <strong><b>Chapter 42 : Bet with Ye Feng</b></strong>


    Ultimately, the three of them headed to the yground, drawn by the bustling excitement.


    “Wow, so many people! Are they all here to watch Yan Huan and Feng Yifei runps?”


    Su Linughed, “They might be here for Yan Huan, but as for Feng Yifei? Who cares about him?”


    “Why is everyone so interested in Yan Huan instead of Feng Yifei?” Xia Shiyu asked, clearly confused.


    Su Lin nced at her and shook his head, “Xiaoyu, you probably won’t get why, maybe Xiaowan knows.”


    Lin Xiaowan red at Su Lin. “Su Lin, you’re simr to these guys. You’re all jackals of the same tribe.”


    Su Lin nodded. “On this point, I admit that I’m ayman. Otherwise, why would I be friends with you two? ”


    Lin Xiaowan was angered by Su Lin’s straightforwardness. “You really don’t hide it at all. You make it sound so nice.”


    Su Lin shrugged. “If I hide it, you’ll say I’m a hypocrite. If I don’t, you’ll say I’m a pervert. It’s so hard.”


    At this time, Xia Shiyu already understood what Su Lin was talking about because she vaguely heard a lot of explicitments from the boys.


    “It’s the campus belle Lin Xiaowan. Lin Xiaowan also came to watch the fun.”


    “And Xia Shiyu. Xia Shiyu is so pretty.”


    “Wow! Su Lin, Su Lin is so handsome. He’s the most handsome boy in our school.”


    “Ye Feng… Ye Feng is here.”


    “Ye Feng is here. Where’s Yan Huan? Is she here?”


    “I doubt she’de. Boys might be able to swallow their pride, but a girl like Yan Huan probably can’t.”


    As Ye Feng and Xu Jie approached the yground, Ye Feng boasted, “Xu Jie, no bragging, but in two months, I’ll surpass Su Lin and be the top student in school.”


    Xu Jie skeptically replied, “Brother Feng,e on, Su Lin’s a beast. His grades are insane, top scores in everything but Chinese. You’ve improved, sure, but don’t overestimate yourself.”


    Ye Feng saw that Xu Jie didn’t believe him. He smiled and said, “I remember you said the same thing when I made a bet with Yan Huan. Then, Yan Huan and Feng Yifei both lost. Now, they don’t dare to appear in school.”


    Hearing this, Ye Fengughed, “Remember when I bet against Yan Huan, and you said the same thing? Both Yan Huan and Feng Yifei lost back then. They don’t even dare to show up at school now. So, Su Lin will also lose to me.”


    “Alright, if you say so,” Xu Jie conceded, somewhat reluctantly.


    ……..


    “Su Lin, did you hear that? Ye Feng said he’s going to surpass you.” Lin Xiaowan winked at Su Lin.


    Su Lin shrugged his shoulders and said, “So be it. It’s good that he has this confidence.”


    “Tsk ~ ~! Boring. ”


    Su Lin grinned, “Boring or not, remember our bet, Xiao Wan.”


    Lin Xiaowan’s entire body trembled in an instant. Then, she moved closer to Su Lin’s ear and whispered, “We’ll talk about it on QQ when we get back tonight.”


    “Alright, let’s chat tonight then.”


    Xia Shiyu looked on, curious about their whispered exchange but unable to catch the details.


    Lin Xiaowan quickly diverted, “Xiaoyu, is uncle’s surgery scheduled yet? Wasn’t it supposed to be this week?”


    “The hospital hasn’t set a date yet. Normal doctors don’t dare to do this kind of surgery. It must be the chief doctor.” Xiaoyu replied.


    Lin Xiaowan nodded. “Then it will be postponed to next week.”


    Xia Shiyu nodded. “As long as the surgery is done in a safe time, I’m not in a hurry now.”


    “Mhmm, rest assured and wait for the notice.”


    As they were talking, the crowd in front of them suddenly became noisy.


    “Ye Feng, you’re too full of yourself. You’re just at 600, while Su Lin’s at 740. How can you evenpare?”


    “Yeah, Ye Feng. Sure, you’ve improved a lot, but that’s from a lower base. Getting from 600 to 700 is much harder than from 300 to 600. Wake up.”


    Ye Feng, hearing the doubting voices, smirked internally. This was exactly the reaction he wanted. Everyone underestimating him, setting the stage for his dramatic victory, a triumph that would turn Su Lin into the school’s biggest joke. “Whether I can surpass him is my business, not yours,” Ye Feng retorted dismissively.


    “You… just don’t know what’s good for you,” the girl replied, annoyed.


    Ye Feng sneered and ignored the girl. His eyes quickly searched the crowd and soon locked onto Su Lin. He walked in front of Su Lin. “Su Lin, do you dare to bet with me?”


    Su Lin shrugged, “Ye Feng, if you’re bored, why not go study some more? Or you could invite Feng Yifei and Yan Huan to runps, that’s also an option.”


    “Hmph! I think you’re just scared to lose to me.”


    Su Lin shrugged again, seemingly unbothered by Ye Feng’s provocation.


    At this moment, Lin Xiaowan next to him instigated, “Su Lin, bet with him.”


    “Yes, Su Lin, bet with him. This guy is arrogant and doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”


    “Vice ss monitor, bet with him. Ye Feng needs to be taught a lesson.”


    “…” Su Lin, unperturbed by the crowd, turned to Lin Xiaowan, “What’s in it for me to bet with him? If I win, I’ve just beaten a poor student, and if I lose, I be the school’s biggest joke. Maybe even other schools will hear about it. Xiaowan, you’re not hoping to see me embarrassed, are you?”


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and with Su Lin affectionately calling her Xiao Wan, Lin Xiaowan felt her face heat up. She had no fondness for Ye Feng, especially after the incident where he spent 80,000 yuan. Her initial urge was to have Su Lin bet against Ye Feng, but upon reflection, she realized she hadn’t thought it through.


    “Su Lin, if you’re afraid of losing, don’t bet. I won’t say anything,” Lin Xiaowan said, looking at the imposing Ye Feng. She bit her lip, then pulled Su Lin aside, whispering, “Take the bet. I’m backing you to win. If you beat him, I’ll… I’ll be your girlfriend.”


    “And if I lose?” Su Lin asked with a smile.


    “If you lose, don’t even say you know me,” Lin Xiaowan replied coldly.


    Su Lin’s eyes narrowed, “Xiao Wan, are you serious?”


    Lin Xiaowan didn’t dodge this time. Instead, she looked straight into Su Lin’s eyes and nodded firmly, “I’m serious, but you have to win.”


    Su Lin nodded, “Get ready to be my wife then.” Turning to Ye Feng, Su Lin announced, “Ye Feng, I ept your bet. What’s the stake?”


    “Alright! Good to see a little manly. It’s simple: the loser runs threeps around the yground, loudly dering, ‘I am a pig.''”


    Su Lin nodded, “Yes! You are indeed a pig.”


    Ye Feng’s face was livid, “Su Lin, if you lose, you won’t go back on your words like Feng Yifei and the rest, right?”


    Su Lin smiled and said, “There are so many people. I still want to save face.”


    “Damn Ye Feng, who said I’m going to go back on my words?” Feng Yifei walked in from the crowd and red at Ye Feng. Then, he said, “Huanhuan is not feeling well. I’ll help her run these threeps.” After that, he threw his clothes and ran out while shouting ‘I’m a pig’.


    Su Lin and Ye Feng were both surprised by Feng Yifei’s arrival.


    Su Lin squinted and suggested, “Runningps seems too easy, Ye Feng. How about hopping instead? Threeps of frog jumps. Otherwise, anyone could challenge me, and that would be devaluing myself.”


    “Fine! Frog jumps it is. And don’t forget, while hopping, keep saying ‘I am a pig.''”


    “Yeah, no need to emphasize. I know you are.”


    “Pfft!”


    “Pfft!”


    Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan both burst intoughter, soon joined by those nearby.
