Chapter 24: Wait Until I Prove Myself with My Results

"I... I..."

Xu Muyan couldn't stand Chu Bai's bragging and wanted to snap back, but she didn't want to agree to his bet. After all, the stakes were too high.

"Come on, stop stuttering. Do you dare or not?" Chu Bai pressed further.

"Dare! My Yanyan agrees!" Xu's father suddenly chimed in, then added, "It's getting late. Yanyan needs to rest. Young man, you better work hard."

"Okay, okay, Uncle Xu, goodbye. Xu Muyan, goodbye."

The call ended.

"Dad, what are you doing? Why did you answer for me?" Xu Muyan was annoyed.

"I saw you silent for a long time, so I answered for you," Xu's father replied.

"If I lose... I'll become his girlfriend. Are you even my real father?" Xu Muyan complained.

"Do you think you'll lose?" Xu's father asked.

Xu Muyan thought carefully for a moment, then confidently replied, "No way!"

In a short time, going from the bottom of the class to the middle is not difficult with effort, but going from the middle to the top ten in the class is impossible! As a top student, Xu Muyan knew this better than anyone.

"Then it's settled." Xu's father smiled.

He had acted like that because it suddenly reminded him of how, when he was in school, he had also used similar tactics to pursue Xu Muyan's mother.

Chu Bai reminded him of his younger self.

Xu's father thought Chu Bai was a good guy and admired him. He agreed to the bet on Xu Muyan's behalf, knowing that she was confident she wouldn't lose. But if by some miracle Chu Bai managed to make it to the top ten, that would prove his sincerity.

Xu's father was very open-minded about his daughter's romantic relationships.

"You keep watching TV. I'm going to bed," Xu Muyan pouted and made a face at her father before heading to her room.

Once back in her room, Xu Muyan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. So she took out her phone and found Wen Jing's number in her contacts.

She planned to vent to Wen Jing.

After a while, Wen Jing answered the phone.

"Jingjing, I didn't wake you, did I?" Xu Muyan asked.

"I... I'm not asleep yet. What's up calling me so late?" Wen Jing's voice sounded a little broken.

"Your voice sounds strange. What are you doing?"

"I'm... eating spicy strips. Wow, it's so... so spicy."

"Haha, eating spicy strips so late. You're something else."

"I wasn't full, and when I got home, I was hungry again. There was only spicy strips left."

"Jingjing, let me tell you, something happened just now that made me so speechless. You know how weird my dad is? He actually..." Xu Muyan started complaining after a brief chat with Wen Jing.

After hearing Xu Muyan's complaints, Wang Haoran, who was next to Wen Jing, jolted upright.

"The bet between Chu Bai and Xu Muyan? If Chu Bai makes it into the top ten in the entrance exam, Xu Muyan will be his girlfriend?"

The upcoming school exams were fast approaching. The familiar plot of a weak student betting with a beautiful top student and then using underhanded methods to steal her heart was unfolding again.

Wang Haoran knew this trick too well.

Despite being a bad student, Chu Bai had a secret weapon—his ability to cheat using his supernatural power of x-ray vision. There was no doubt that he'd manage to place in the top ten. Xu Muyan would lose!

Wang Haoran was glad that he had overheard this crucial information and had time to stop Chu Bai's plan.

Without cheating, how could Chu Bai's grades possibly improve so much?

After Wen Jing finished the call, Wang Haoran got to work.

He then checked his system panel.

[Villain Points: 1400]

He had just exchanged for Wing Chun yesterday, and now, with this many villain points, he was already considering whether to exchange for acting skills, a beauty pill, or maybe try his luck with a lottery.

He pondered for a while and decided to try his luck with the lottery.
