Chapter 156 I'll Be Jealous

"Come to my office, all three of you."

Leaving these words behind, Zhan Chongshan clasped his hands behind his back and, humming a tune, swayed his head as he headed toward the teacher's office. His proud and carefree demeanor was a stark contrast to his usually meticulous image—it was as if he were a completely different person.

Su Qiaoyu followed silently behind Zhan Chongshan. Ye Fan and Ning Xi lagged behind, whispering to each other.

"Ye Fan, the principal seems really happy. It's so rare to see him like this. Do you think our mock exam scores were great?"

"Most likely."

"You scared me. I thought I did something wrong."

Hearing this, Ye Fan halted his steps and glanced at her, a hint of helplessness flashing across his expression. "Xiao Xi, is it only when you make mistakes that you think the principal or teachers would call you?"

"Isn't it?"

Ning Xi blinked her bright eyes innocently.

"…"

Ye Fan pursed his lips and rubbed his forehead. "You got me!"

He glanced ahead, then changed the subject. "We're falling behind. Let's pick up the pace a little."

Ning Xi turned her head to look at the distant figures of Zhan Chongshan and Su Qiaoyu. She quickened her steps slightly, then turned around, stuck out her tongue at Ye Fan, and made a playful face, brimming with mischief and spirit.

A gentle breeze brushed by.

Ye Fan etched that moment deep in his heart, letting out a carefree laugh before catching up.

Inside the office.

Zhan Chongshan took a sip of tea, looked at the three students standing before him, and burst into hearty laughter. "You three little ones didn't let me down. Your performance in the mock exam was exceptional—you secured the top three spots. This time, Wang Huailu is definitely going to smash his cup in frustration, haha…"

Secured the top three spots?

Hearing this, Ning Xi and Su Qiaoyu let out a breath of relief.

Ye Fan, however, remained expressionless, like he was in a state of meditation, his demeanor calm and indifferent.

"But don't let your guard down. This Friday is the second mock exam. You must give it your all and treat it like the real college entrance exam. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the two girls answered in unison.

Ye Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke slowly, "Principal, since the three of us helped you win the bet, shouldn't there be some kind of reward?"

"…"

Not only Ning Xi and Su Qiaoyu, but even Zhan Chongshan was dumbfounded by what he heard.

A reward?

In all his years as a principal, this was the first time a student had ever asked him for a reward.

This truly was…

A once-in-a-lifetime experience!!!

Ning Xi gave Ye Fan a light kick and whispered, "What are you doing? Do you have a death wish?"

"Shh—"

Ye Fan made a silencing gesture, then fixed his gaze back on Zhan Chongshan, smiling as he continued, "Principal, someone as wise, heroic, morally upright, knowledgeable, and approachable as you surely wouldn't let us down."

"…"

That flattery—it couldn't possibly be more obvious, could it?

It was too much!

Zhan Chongshan cast a somewhat exasperated glance at Ye Fan, set his teacup down, and asked, "What kind of reward do you want?"

"Simple."

A glint of brilliance flashed in Ye Fan's deep eyes. "Since there's a mock exam on Friday, how about giving us a break on Saturday? The third-year schedule is already exhausting, and exams are mentally draining as well. A two-day weekend isn't too much to ask, right?"

"That…"

Zhan Chongshan furrowed his brow deeply, caught in a dilemma. After more than ten seconds of careful thought, he finally nodded. "Alright, I can agree to that request, but you'll have to promise me one thing."

The corner of Ye Fan's mouth curled up as he said calmly, "For this second mock exam, being the citywide top scorer will, of course, be me."

"…"

Zhan Chongshan's lips twitched.

Great.

Now he's preemptively answering for me.

And what's most surprising is that when such a bold statement comes out of this kid's mouth, it feels completely natural—utterly devoid of arrogance.

How bizarre!!!

"That settles it, then."

In an effort to maintain his image of authority, Zhan Chongshan waved his hand toward the three of them. "Go back to class."

The two girls were easy to handle, but Ye Fan… The leaps in this kid's logic were just too much for him to keep up with.

So, it was better not to talk.

When the three returned to the advanced prep class, their Chinese teacher, Pang Qiuping, was announcing the mock exam results. Seeing them at the door, he grinned and joked, "Ah, our heroes are back. Let's give them a round of applause."

"Clap, clap, clap…"

The dozen or so students in the prep class politely gave a scattered round of applause.

Once the three of them returned to their seats, Pang Qiuping made a point to announce their scores again.

Su Qiaoyu: 734 points, third place in the mock exam.

Ning Xi: 740 points, second place in the mock exam.

Ye Fan: 745 points, first place in the mock exam.

When Ye Fan heard his score, his brows furrowed slightly.

Missed 5 points?

Thinking it over, he could only come up with one possibility.

The essay.

The content of his essay was quite controversial.

After some thought, Ye Fan didn't dwell on it too much. Essays were all about luck—if the grader agreed with his perspective, it would be a full score. If not, losing a few points—or even getting a zero—wouldn't be surprising.

At Yuqing High School.

In the office, Wang Huailu's face was ashen, his eyes fixed on the report card in his hand, disbelief etched across his furrowed brow.

This was the strength of Zhenhua?

Securing the top three spots!

He had thought Yuqing was ready to replace Zhenhua as the top-ranked high school in the country. But now he realized it was all arrogance…

Thinking back to the day he had confidently made that bet with Zhan Chongshan, his face burned with shame.

Awakening from his delusions, he realized…

The joke was on him!

The morning passed quickly. By the time the bell rang for the fourth period's end, students rushed to the cafeteria in droves.

In the blink of an eye, only Ye Fan and Ning Xi remained in the classroom, both engrossed in their tasks, seemingly oblivious to the bell.

When Ning Xi finished solving a physics problem, she stretched her arms, revealing curves her clothes couldn't quite hide. The midday sunlight bathed her, adding a soft warmth tinged with allure—a mix of cuteness and elegance.

"Xiao Xi."

"Mm?"

"In the future, don't make such movements when others are around."

"Why?"

"I'll get jealous."

"…"

Ning Xi's eyes flashed with mock annoyance. "You—how can you…"

"Time to eat."

Ye Fan interrupted, pulling a lunchbox from his desk.

When he opened the lid, the aroma of food filled the room.

Braised prawns, red-braised pork, and garlic sautéed vegetables.

Ning Xi sniffed the air and swallowed involuntarily, her attention entirely captivated by the food. In a soft voice, she exclaimed, "Your… your meals… they're too luxurious!"

"Want some?"

Ye Fan deliberately waved the lunchbox in front of her, his deep voice full of temptation. "A one-of-a-kind recipe—miss it now, and it's gone forever."

"I want…"

The word barely left her lips when Ning Xi stopped herself, her face a mix of hesitation and inner conflict.

Ye Fan squinted slightly, his voice coaxing. "Didn't I tell you during our meal the other day?"

"Be decisive—do you want the happiness in front of you or not?"

"I do!"

Ning Xi took a deep breath, nodded firmly, and quickly pulled out her own lunchbox. As she opened it, she muttered to herself, "You're right. Eating well is the only way to have the energy to lose weight!"

Ye Fan's eyes softened with a smile as he rested his chin on one hand, greedily watching her as she ate. Every moment—every detail of her movements—seemed perfect, flawless from every angle.

She was a breathtaking beauty with every frown and smile.

Her charm was unmatched, like a celestial being gracing the mortal world.
