236 236 You have to apologize to her
Since it was a competition, there should be a winner and a loser, as well as a reward and punishment. Otherwise, what was the point of it? During class, Song Lin had only mentioned that they were going to compete. They had not discussed the details yet. After class, he came over with a gloomy look on his face.
“Tan Rou, I want to challenge you!” Song Lin assumed a cool pose. With one hand in his pocket, he pointed his index finger at Tan Rou with his head tilted.
Tan Rou only felt that this posture was similar to the gangsters who blocked roads and robbed people in the past. Perhaps the gangsters no longer robbed people on streets in broad daylight and started threatening students instead?
“I’m not deaf. I’ve heard what you said in class. You don’t have to repeat it.” Tan Rou kept her cool composure as well.
Song Lin was very dissatisfied with her attitude. “Hey, I’m talking to you. What are you being so arrogant about?”
Tan Rou really didn’t want to waste time with him on such a boring matter. “Go on, I’m listening.”
Song Jin said, “Since it’s a competition, there should be something to bet on. Listen, if I get first place in this exam, you’ll have to apologize to Jingjing. Shout it through a loudspeaker in the square below the teaching building, do you hear me?”
Tan Rou frowned but didn’t refute. “What if you lose?”
“I won’t!” Song Lin was full of confidence. Although he knew that Tan Rou had gotten first place last time, could she really get first place after being last place for ten thousand years? She must have cheated and found a way out of it.
“You can’t be too sure,” Tan Rou stood up with her hands on the table. “Since it’s a competition, I have a request. If I win, I want you to take off all your clothes and run five laps around the school field. As you run, you will have to shout that you are an idiot!”
“Tan Rou!” Song Lin’s eyes widened in anger. “What did you just say?”
“You don’t dare to?” Tan Rou crossed her arms and sneered, “You were threatening me just now, but now you don’t even dare to accept the challenge? Didn’t you want me to go to the square in front of the teaching building and apologize? Are you trying to tell me that you wouldn’t do it or that you’re too scared to do it.”
“Let’s compete then! Just wait and watch yourself lose!” Song Lin’s eyes were fierce.
“Ha!” Tan Rou sneered. “It’s not certain who will win.”
Then, Tan Jing walked over. She glanced at Tan Rou and then said to Song Lin, “Song Lin, forget it. I don’t want to fight with her.”
However, in Song Lin’s eyes, Tan Jing was being considerate of him. Hence, he comforted her. “Don’t worry, Jingjing. I won’t lose.”
When Tan Rou heard what he said, she felt that there was something wrong with his brain. Even if Tan Rou didn’t get first place, there was still Lu Qing and the others, right? How could he, a top ten student in the grade, have the face to say such words? If he wanted to jump from the top 11 to the first place, he would have to get rid of all the people in front of him.
“Song Lin, I hope you remember today’s bet. After all, everyone is looking forward to seeing you run around the school field naked.”
Song Lin’s face and ears turned red from her provocation. “You’re shameless! I dare you to repeat yourself!”
“I’m not the one who’s going to run around naked. Why wouldn’t I be able to repeat myself?”
“Xiao Rou.” Tan Jing suddenly spoke, “Are you interested in Song Lin?”
When Tan Rou heard this, she felt a chill run down her spine and goosebumps rose on her skin. “I’m not blind, and there’s nothing wrong with my brain. Why would I like him?”
She looked to the side and saw that many of Song Lin’s fans had come over after hearing that Song Lin had challenged her. Tan Rou deliberately said this. “I’m doing this for everyone’s benefits. Doesn’t everyone here want to take a look at it as well?”
Her gaze fell on the girls outside the window.
The girls blushed and shook their heads, but no one stood up to criticize Tan Rou.
“Don’t be too pleased with yourself. You’ll have to apologize one day!” Song Lin pointed at her and said angrily,
Tan Rou decided to teach him a lesson. “The exam hasn’t started yet, so don’t be too smug. In the end, I might not be the one to lose badly.”
She had lived such a long life previously; if she couldn’t even deal with a child, she could forget about getting revenge.
Thinking of revenge, she couldn’t help but think of the scenes that had happened before and her hatred rose again. She would settle the score.
“Also …” Tan Rou pushed back the finger he was pointing at her with. “Don’t point at me with your finger. It’ll break if you keep pointing at me.”
A ‘crack’ was heard, followed by Song Lin’s cry of pain.
