Chapter 42 Gu Mang, Don't Be Rash

Chapter 42: Gu Mang, Don't Be Impulsive

The teachers sitting in the office furrowed their brows in unison.
Wasn't this sheer humiliation? Pulling out the student ranked dead last would probably still be enough to utterly crush the entire Class 20.
Luo Songhua was digging a trap for Xi Yan and the students of Class 20 to jump into.
Chu Yao and Fatty also remained silent, not daring to speak up.
If it came to a physical fight, the two of them would charge in without a second thought. But when it came to scoring high on exams—they hadn't even mastered the material, so how were they supposed to take the test?
Were they supposed to cheat?
If they got caught, wouldn't that be even more humiliating?
Meng Jinyang clenched her fists tightly and looked at Gu Mang, her gaze seemingly asking for instruction.
Gu Mang gave her a subtle, nonchalant shake of her head.
"Well, Lu Yang, haven't you always wanted me to apologize to Gu Mang? I'll give you this chance now. Does your Class 20 dare to take this bet?" Luo Songhua said unhurriedly, a condescending expression plastered across her face.
Lu Yang's jaw tightened rigidly.
Xi Yan didn't speak either, her brows furrowed deeply.
Luo Songhua let out a disdainful, cold chuckle. "Even your Teacher Xi has no faith in you. Tell me, you bunch of poor students, what right do you have to act so arrogant here?"
The rebellious chill quietly surged within Gu Mang's clear, cold eyes, and the upturned corners of her eyes tinged with a wicked red.
She slowly turned around, her pitch-black, luminous eyes looking down on everything with utter detachment as she spoke carelessly, "Fine, I accept this bet."
Luo Songhua froze.
Xi Yan looked at Gu Mang in disbelief. Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly said, "Gu Mang, don't be impulsive..."
The corners of Gu Mang's lips curved upward in an extremely wicked smile. "Teacher, I'm going back to study now."

Xi Yan: "..."
Gu Mang led a group of people out of the office and headed back toward the classroom.
The office fell completely silent.
Luo Songhua sneered, "Overestimating your own capabilities. I'll just wait to watch Class 20 bring public humiliation upon yourselves."
Anxiety washed over Xi Yan's face. Since the matter was already set in stone, she needed to figure out how to raise their grades in a short period of time. Even if they lost, they couldn't afford to lose too miserably.
Word of this quickly spread throughout the entire senior grade.
Even the junior and sophomore students in the Student Union caught wind of it.
"With those grades in Class 20, the outcome goes without saying. Class 1 is guaranteed to win."
"I heard Teacher Xi didn't even agree to this, it was Gu Mang who accepted."
"She really has no self-awareness at all. Is this what they call being pretty and brainless? Comparing grades with Class 1? Looking for death wouldn't look like this."
"The entire class of Class 20 is probably going to lose all their face."
The whole school was buzzing with discussion.
...
Class 20.
Complaints echoed through the room.
In the end, under Lu Yang's tyrannical suppression, everyone swallowed their grievances and began to study.
"Let me tell you, if not for pride, do it for dignity! Do you bunch of academic slackers want to let those people look down on us?!" Lu Yang's voice was resonant and powerful. "We must love studying!"
Chu Yao couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. What could possibly be more hilarious than academic slackers holding a study mobilization rally?
Lu Yang glared at him fiercely.
Chu Yao straightened his expression in a second. "Brother Yang is right, I love studying! The road to Shu is harder than climbing the blue sky! The journey is difficult! The journey is difficult! So many forks in the road, where are we now? For me, it's even harder than hard!"
"Hahahahahahaha..." The entire class erupted into laughter. "Brother Yao, you really have talent."
Lu Yang: "..."
Gu Mang looked at Lu Yang, who was standing on the podium at a loss for what to do. A trace of a smile lingered at the corners of her mouth—rebellious and wicked.
She picked up her pen and began working on practice problems.
Lu Yang also felt that they were probably going to lose this time, and he returned to his seat feeling rather dejected.
Seeing Gu Mang studying, he finally felt a sliver of comfort in his heart.
When he walked closer and saw that Gu Mang was actually drawing foxes in her exercise book, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed.
Forget it, he might as well go back and ask Lu Yi for tutoring.
Ultimately, he still had to rely on himself.
