After Ke CaiZhu’s departure, Huo YeRui was ordered to study at home. Gradually, the cheating case and the school recommendation irregularity faded out from everybody’s thoughts.

  Before long, news that Lin Qian gave up his guaranteed spot came out, leaving the entire No.12 High School shocked. Their first reaction was that Huo PingChuan played another trick behind everybody’s backs. For a while, this gossip made Huo PingChuan, who was actually innocent this time, receive numerous glares from angry students.

  This distinguished Vice-Principal had never encountered such treatment before. This was the first time Huo PingChuan could so blatantly feel the decline of his prestige in the school. It made him resent the Lin father-son pair even more.

  Lin Qian, in particular. Huo PingChuan thought that Lin Qian was a student more insidious and poisonous than what his age implied. When competing with Huo YeRui for the school recommendation, that brat simply didn’t let go, and it ended up ruining his son completely. And now, at this very sensitive time, Lin Qian suddenly struck another blow that caused everyone to view Huo PingChuan with hate.

  God knows that the person who hoped Lin Qian would smoothly get the school recommendation the most was Huo PingChuan.

  Huo PingChuan had never been glared at by so many students. He couldn’t even sit down in peace. In the end, he couldn’t bear the animosity, and he rushed to find Lin YaZhi. “After all that difficulty, how come Student Lin gave up his hard-earned school recommendation? This isn’t the time to act all noble and virtuous!”


  Lin YaZhi clenched his fist. “One punch gives you one answer. How many questions do you want to ask?”


  Huo PingChuan: “.……” Fine, he gets it! Lin YaZhi simply didn’t understand the ways of the world. Acting like this, Huo PingChuan figured that Lin YaZhi’s life will probably amount to nothing more than this. He has no future.

  Huo PingChuan sneered in his heart. When all this blows over, and Principal Qiu retires, let’s see who’ll protect you then, Lin YaZhi.

  After Lin Qian gave up his school recommendation, the evaluation team began to assess the other students in the top class. This time, they were extremely careful not to show any sort of bias, and in the end, they finally recommended Tang WanQi based on her overall performance.

  Although Tang WanQi wasn’t as well-known as Lin Qian, she was still quite famous in No. 12. Her personality was also good, so everyone thought it was logical that she would receive the recommendation and had no criticisms about it.

  After school, the remedial group congregated in the small office as usual.

  Dong MingEn was showing off his new watch, shoving his wrist towards everyone’s faces so they could clearly see. “.……this is the latest model. I bought it as soon as it was released. In the future, you’ll see countless others wearing the same watch, following me……”


  An annoyed Lou XingGuang ridiculed: “Why don’t you just say that the designer was inspired by you?”


  The modest Dong MingEn replied: “My face isn’t that big.”


  Dong MingEn felt that showing off like this wasn’t enough, so he even pulled Xu Yao into things. “I also gave one to Xu Yao. The same style. Come on Xu Yao, show everyone, let them drown in envy.”


  Xu Yao: “.……”


  Xu Yao put a hand over his face. “I didn’t wear it.”


  Dong MingEn was puzzled. He asked: “Why didn’t you wear it? Didn’t we promise to never separate and be together forever!”


  Xu Yao’s expression began to crack.”When did I say such things, don’t put words into my mouth!”


  Dong MingEn pointed towards Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing and righteously said: “Look at the Boss and Brother Lin Qian. They wear their watches all the time! We gotta follow their example, ah!”


  Xu Yao had just opened his mouth when a drinking Gou XinDou sprayed a mouthful of water onto his exercise book.

  “Cough- Cough–” Gou XinDou coughed incessantly, unable to hide the look of horror on his face.

  Dong MingEn looked at him in disgust. “Dog child, you’re too inelegant. You’re now rank 227 in our entire grade. You can’t have the same virtues as when you were at rank 400, OK?”


  Gou XinDou felt that the challenges he’s faced ever since he joined the remedial group were no less arduous than the upcoming college entrance exams. With a bloody face, Gou XinDou asked Dong MingEn: “Uh……a completely random question that has no deeper meaning……but why did you give Xu Yao a watch? I’m just curious.”


  Dong MingEn put his hands on his hips. “Xu Yao asked me to.”


  Gou XinDou looked at Xu Yao in terror.

  Xu Yao: !!!

  A powerless Xu Yao tried to defend himself: “Misunderstanding, it’s just a misunderstanding&#k2026;.”


  Dong MingEn placed a hand on Xu Yao’s shoulder and generously said: “Don’t be so polite, ah. We’re good brothers. Let me tell you, if my grades improve again on the next monthly test, then&#k2013; tsk tsk, It would be impermissible for me to enjoy all this endless wealth and status alone. If you want anything, just open your mouth, and I’ll share half the country with you!”


  Xu Yao was so weak he couldn’t even raise his voice. “I……thank you, ah……”


  After listening to this entire debacle, Zheng PingQing gave Xu Yao a profound look and shouted: “If you ever need guidance, just look at Lin Qian and me, ah……”


  Xiu Yao hurriedly waved his hands. “I don’t need to look, I don’t need to.”


  Dong MingEn wasn’t satisfied with this and said: “Why? Doesn’t it say in the textbooks? see a worthy, think to imitate……”


  Xu Yao wanted to violently beat up Dong MingEn. That relates to virtuous people, not gays!

  Lin Qian silently watched the scene in front of him. In the end, he looked back towards Zheng PingQing, his face in disbelief. “Your little brother……”


  Zheng PingQing nodded and tried to cheer him up. “As long as we can get him into a university, we’ve already achieved a great success.”


  As the group continued to chatter, a knock was suddenly heard. Then, the office door opened, revealing a pretty girl. She entered the room and said: “Sorry to disturb you all.”


  It was the new recommendation candidate and Lin Qian’s classmate, Tang WanQi.

  Lin Qian beckoned her in and asked: “WanQi, what can we do for you?”


  With her hands behind her back, Tang WanQi smiled at Lin Qian and said: “Mr. Hong came to see me just now and said everything’s basically settled. If there are no other accidents, I’ll be able to go to F University next year.”


  “Congratulations.” Lin Qian sincerely said.

  Tang WanQi quickly waved a hand. “I’m here to thank you. If you didn’t decline the recommendation, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”


  Lin Qian didn’t overly refute her, and simply said: “You’re welcome. But it’s also due to your own efforts that you got the recommendation.”


  This wasn’t an empty compliment. In their last life, Tang WanQi was admitted to F University after she took the college entrance exams.

  As a popular female classmate, even years after everyone had graduated, she was still often talked about.

  Tang WanQi was truly an exceptional girl. She did well in university, and after she graduated, she entered a famous company and eventually became a senior executive. She was a consistent topic in many class get-togethers.

  Unfortunately, she became a member of Huo YeRui’s huge circle of ‘contacts’ and ended up marrying a rich second-generation friend of Huo YeRui. At the insistence of her husband, Tang WanQi ended up quitting her job to take care of her children. But this seemingly perfect marriage didn’t end well. Later, her husband cheated on her, and the steadfast Tang WanQi chose divorce without hesitation. After the marriage, she took her children with her, but because she hadn’t worked for a long time, she had a hard time getting back into the workforce.

  But in this life, although Tang WanQi is also going to F University, Lin Qian was certain that she disdained Huo YeRui and would never be friends with him.

  Thinking of this, Lin Qian was a little relieved.

  “Well, I have to go.” Tang WanQi said. But before she left, Tang WanQi looked around the office and readily shared some of her ideas. “I know you’ve been helping Class 7 and Class 8 with some tutoring. Since I’m going to be free for the rest of the year, I thought, if you don’t mind, I could join your tutoring group? So you can also be a little more relaxed.”


  Tang WanQi was good-looking and had a fresh temperament. Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing hadn’t even replied to her query when an excited Lou XingGuang answered: “Absolutely! Welcome, welcome!”


  Seeing the others silently turn their gazes towards him, Lou XingGuan said: “What? We’re short on teachers! With Class 7 joining our group, there’s even more pressure to our tutors.”


  Lou XingGuang looked at Tang WanQi and continued: “Moreover, this is the student with a guaranteed spot in F University! The last person who had the school recommendation already helped us progress so much, just think of what we could accomplish with two of them. Maybe their studious nature will rub on us. I think we’ll be able to study even harder!”


  Tang WanQi couldn’t bear Lou XingGuang’s words and repeatedly waved her hands in denial. “No, no, having a recommendation student teaching you doesn’t do anything.”


  Lin Qian put his hand on his forehead. But teaching so many people was indeed a struggle, and having Tang WanQi help him wouldn’t be so bad. So after some thought, Lin Qian said: “WanQi, if you’re willing to help, then we’ll gladly accept.”


  Tang WanQi nodded.

  Zheng PingQing also thought it was a good idea, mainly because it would help his boyfriend. He said: “Then you can help Class 7.”


  Because Lin Qian had a limited amount of time to teach, the tutoring group had been using a pyramid-like way of teaching. The top students would teach Class 8 students, and Class 8 students would teach the Class 7 students. However, this significantly limited the development of Class 7. If Tang WanQi started teaching the Class 7 students directly, it would be a great help.

  Tang WanQi had only wanted to help Lin Qian in return for his generosity. How she did this didn’t matter. So Tang WanQi smiled and said: “No problem.”


  Lou XingGuang: “.……” This arrangement was different from what he initially thought.

  After determining what she needed to do, Tang WanQi said: “Then I’ll go to Class 7 and figure out their situation first……”


  Then suddenly, a contemplative Guo XinDou said out loud: “Wait……were’t you the girl that asked Lin Qian had to princess carry you in Huo YeRui’s birthday party?”


  Most Class 8 students didn’t attend Huo YeRui’s birthday party. When they heard this, they immediately went: “!!!”


  “What?! You like Lin Qian?!” Dong MingEn voice sounded like it was amplified with a loudspeaker.

  Tang WanQi: “.……?” Did his brain circuits get crossed? How did he come to this conclusion?

  Tang WanQi suddenly felt that she had a lot of work ahead of her.

  But Tang WanQi hadn’t even had a chance to explain when a trembling Gou XinDo pointed at Dong MingEn. “Hey, don’t talk nonsense! How can girls like Lin Qian!”


  Tang WanQi: “.……??” Although she wasn’t really interested in Lin Qian, this didn’t prevent her from thinking there was a problem with that student’s logic.

  Seeing Gou XinDou so excited, Dong MingEn was bewildered. “Didn’t you just say she asked Lin Qian to princess carry her?”


  Gou XinDou beat his own chest. “She merely took a risk and lost, nothing more! Not because she liked him.”


  Tang WanQi: “.……????” Although he described the facts correctly, his wording was so obviously wrong.

  Tang WanQi couldn’t help but worry about things. These underachievers can’t even construct basic sentences, this was going to be tough!

  A confused Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing also looked at the panicking Gou XinDou. He looked nervous, and his speech had become weird.

  Their puzzled gazed made Gou XinDou even more nervous. Under the tremendous pressure, Gou XinDou ended up blurting: “Didn’t Boss Zheng say that he had a brother who was secretly in love with her?”


  When he said this, Xu Yao clapped his hands. “That’s right! I remember that.”


  Jiang TingJun also nodded.

  Zheng PingQing: “.……”


  Damn, he forgot that he casually came up with that lie. Why did Gou XinDou still remember such things!

  He wanted to beat up Gou XinDou!

  In the first place, Zheng PingQing’s sacrifice for his brother by princess carrying Lin Qian was well-known throughout the school. So when Gou XinDou mentioned it, everyone naturally recalled it.

  They just didn’t realize that the heroine in the story was actually this female classmate in front of them.

  Lou XingGuang immediately looked around. “Who is it, who was the one that secretly liked her?”


  Dong MingEn: “Not me.”


  Zhou Daota: “I don’t.”


  There were only three of Zheng PingQing’s brothers present at the moment. Apart from Dong MingEn and Zhou Daota, there was only Lou XingGuang left. Seeing that nobody was speaking up, Lou XingGuang turned towards Zheng PingQing and asked: “Boss, who’s the guy in love with her?”


  Zheng PingQing: “.……” Who the heck knows.

  Tang WanQi had always been a kind girl, and this conversation was a little embarrassing for her. So she said: “I think Student Zheng was just joking.”


  With a relaxed voice, Zheng PingQing went with the flow: “Yes, I was joking.”


  Tang WanQi: “.……” No, I was just being polite, you know?

  Lou XingGuang was also relieved. “That’s good.”


  Tang WanQi: “.……” She realized she really didn’t understand how a hooligan’s brain worked.

  Lin Qian turned to Tang WanQi and said apologetically: “I’m sorry, Zheng PingQing often talks nonsense.”


  Tang WanQi thought it strange that it was Lin Qian apologizing for Zheng PingQing, but she still replied: “It’s nothing, no big deal.”


  Zheng PingQing was also a little embarrassed. He nodded towards his little brothers plus Gou XinDou and told Tang WanQi: “But if you do end up taking a fancy to one of them, don’t hesitate to tell me. I’m their Boss, so I can arrange it for you.”


  The little brothers who were suddenly offered up for marriage: “.……”


  Gou XinDou: “????” He just said some random things, why did things suddenly develop this way?

  Tang WanQi had never gotten along with such a pure hooligan. Amused, she laughed out loud. She turned towards the boys, eyes full of criminal intent. She looked back and forth between several of them like she was picking pork. Her voice was intimidating as she said: “Alright, let me have a good look. When the time comes, I’ll be counting on you to provide a wife for me.”


  The hooligans: “.……”


  They never expected the other students in the top class to be so bold.

  The author has something to say:

  Lou XingGuang: “Requesting to get married! Please arrange it for me.”


  The Boss was just joking, please don’t take it seriously. _(:з」∠)_ Boss is an advocate for the freedom to marry whoever.
