Chapter 35: Chapter 035: Fulfillment of the Bet
The guy passed by, deliberately looking back at Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang smiled, "Good morning, senior."
Gu Shiting nodded, "Good morning."
The previously lifeless Jiang Baocu suddenly perked up and stammered, "Go-good morning."
Gu Shiting also nodded at her.
The girl who hadn’t slept all night suddenly came alive. She looked at Gu Shiting walking away as if in a dream and vigorously shook Sheng Tang’s arm, "He-he-he nodded at me."
Gu Shiting never pays attention to anyone.
Not only did he respond to Sheng Tang’s greeting, but he also nodded at Jiang Baocu.
Is this a dream?
How could this be real?
That was Gu Shiting, the Crown Prince of Huishi Group, the richest heir in S City.
"See, I told you, if you greet him, he will respond," Sheng Tang said indifferently.
Jiang Baocu was skeptical.
"Do you actually know him?" Jiang Baocu asked.
"Know him? How many people in this school don’t?" Sheng Tang replied.
Jiang Baocu: "..."
There was nothing wrong with that statement, but something still felt off.
She scratched her head, unable to figure it out.
Gu Shiting’s nod made Jiang Baocu feel like she was on adrenaline, she stayed awake all night without feeling tired.
She returned to the classroom super excited and told her classmates the whole story.
Everyone said she was bragging. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Jiang Baocu was popular, and most of the classmates were just teasing her.
Sheng Tang sat down and began reading English.
The English teacher came in and called her out separately, speaking to her in very fluent English, "Next month, there’s an English speech contest in the city, and I want to recommend you to participate."
"Is there a prize?" Sheng Tang asked.
Mr. Bai: "..."
This student’s blunt materialism caught the teacher off guard.
He paused, "I haven’t checked, I’ll find out later. Won’t you participate if there’s no prize?"
"Not necessarily, I’ll participate for the opportunity, but a prize would be better, it adds more excitement," Sheng Tang said.
Mr. Bai speechlessly shook his head and smiled, "You should practice your speaking..."
As he spoke, he stopped again.
Sheng Tang’s fluency in speaking didn’t really need more practice.
They exchanged a few words and she returned to the classroom.
A few classmates were whispering.
Sheng Tang leaned over, "What are you talking about?"
The classmate in the front row told Sheng Tang, "Qi Lin didn’t come today, everyone is still waiting to see him streak during recess."
Sheng Tang: "..."
These high schoolers with their mischievous sense of humor.
She also glanced at Qi Lin’s seat.
Sure enough, Qi Lin had not come to school since running away yesterday.
Sheng Tang found it quite funny.
The students at the school were the shyest. Having mingled in the entertainment industry for so many years, Sheng Tang had long forgotten what it meant to be embarrassed. Small things like this couldn’t faze her.
"It’s just a bet, why take it seriously?" Sheng Tang laughed.
The school recess was between the second and third classes in the morning, totaling fifteen minutes.
The second class for Grade 2, Class 1 in the morning was math.
Students in liberal arts classes didn’t particularly like math, especially as the class went on, everyone started zoning out.
Just then, someone suddenly screamed, "Qi Lin, look, isn’t that Qi Lin?"
The class erupted into chaos.
Sheng Tang’s seat was in the middle, not near the window.
Everyone squeezed past, and even the teacher ran over to see what was going on.
Jiang Baocu climbed onto the desk, "It’s really Qi Lin!"
Sheng Tang also stood up and from Jiang Baocu’s position, she saw a boy sitting on the rooftop of the opposite five-story building, his legs already dangling outside.
From that position, he could see into Sheng Tang’s class, so they were the first to notice him.
