for Advance Chapter
Lin Junyi smiled faintly upon hearing those doubts, thinking to himself, "I now have the memories and knowledge of my past life, but I'm not yet familiar with the curriculum structure in Hong Kong. Of course, I have to work hard. But I have no way out now. If I don't make this bet today, I will definitely be kicked out by Zhao Kaishun!"
He knew that Zhao Kaishun had some influence in Xie En Private Middle School. It seemed that he had some relatives with one of the school's directors and had some support. Naturally, he was always arrogant in the school. Therefore, he had many tricks to deal with Lin Junyi, a down-and-out student. Even if Lin Junyi did not agree to make this bet today, he would really be kicked out by Zhao Kaishun.
Of course, Lin Junyi was not completely sure that he could get into the top three in the class. He had to make use of the only one month or so to fight hard and strive to win.
"Okay, Lin Junyi! Let's make a bet and swear an oath today, and all the classmates will be witnesses!" Zhao Kaishun stared at Lin Junyi with disdain and said with a sneer.
"Wait! Teacher Zhao, you're such a forgetful person! I haven't even mentioned my conditions yet." Lin Junyi stared at Zhao Kaishun with a smile and said seriously, "I told you very clearly just now. You must agree to one condition of mine. Only then can I be in the top three in the class in the midterm exam!"
"What conditions?" Zhao Kaishun immediately asked back, thinking to himself, what conditions do you have? The midterm exam is your own business, no one can help you.
"I want to change my deskmate!" Lin Junyi said lightly.
"Okay, tell me! Who do you want to sit at the same table with?" Zhao Kaishun said patiently.
Lin Junyi's eyes fell on the innocent girl in the first row, who was wearing a white shirt, a ponytail, canvas shoes, and washed-out jeans. He smiled and said, "I want to sit at the same table with Gu Qing!"
As soon as the words fell, the sensation caused in the class was no less than the tit-for-tat bet between Lin Junyi and Zhao Kaishun. The first and last place students in the class sat at the same table? This had never happened before. Some people even suspected that Lin Junyi had some ulterior motive in making this request, hoping to drag down the first place student Gu Qing's grades.
Gu Qing's reaction was quite calm. He just turned around and glanced at Lin Junyi. His eyes were calm without a trace of impurities, and there was a faint sunny smile at the corner of his mouth, which made people feel warm in their hearts.
"No!" Zhao Kaishun immediately rejected Lin Junyi's request upon hearing this, thinking that this kid must have bad intentions! How could he let him sit with the top student in our class? He is a poor student, what if he leads the good students astray? The environment changes people. It's like playing chess with a bad chess player. The more you play, the worse you get! Besides, Gu Qing is so beautiful, what if he takes advantage of her?
"Haha, Teacher Zhao, do you want to go back on your word?" Lin Junyi glanced at Gu Qing's slender and graceful back and smiled, "Teacher Zhao, don't you always say that good students should help poor students, especially class leaders should set an example. Gu Qing is the monitor of our class, and I'm the last one in the class. I'd like to sit at the same table with her so she can help me improve my studies. Is there anything wrong with that? And I promise it won't affect her studies!"
Zhao Kaishun was secretly surprised, thinking to himself, what kind of evil spirit had Lin Junyi, who usually couldn't even say a word, got into today? He was talking so quietly, and his words were so flawless.
Lin Junyi was also laughing in his heart. I worked as a salesman for several months in my previous life. I also participated in business training and intensive training in eloquence. I have dealt with all kinds of customers. Zhao Kaishun, you want to play language with me, then let's play to the end!
"Hmph, changing seats isn't just your responsibility. I need to ask Gu Qing for his opinion!" Zhao Kaishun looked at Lin Junyi's confident expression. Although he was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to walk over to Gu Qing's seat, forcing an awkward smile and asking, "Gu Qing, would you like to sit at the same table with Lin Junyi?"
"I do!" Gu Qing didn't even raise his head, nor did he notice the hint in Zhao Kaishun's eyes. He answered calmly.
"…"
Zhao Kaishun was completely speechless, thinking, "What's wrong with this girl? I just winked at you and hinted that if you just said you didn't want to sit at the same table with Lin Junyi, I would immediately reject that kid's unreasonable request. But you actually agreed straight away. Are you two having an affair?"
"Okay, then you can change seats after class!" Zhao Kaishun couldn't find any other reason to refute Lin Junyi, so he had to agree to the other party's request.
"Lin Junyi, remember this! If Gu Qing's score drops by one point in the monthly exam next month, I have the right to move your seats again at any time!" He was unwilling to be toyed with by a student today, and he said another vicious sentence.
Lin Junyi chuckled and leaned over to sit down again. Today, he had essentially achieved his goal. Through a tit-for-tat debate with Zhao Kaishun, he had won the opportunity to stay in school and, to top it off, had forced Zhao Kaishun to agree to let him and Gu Qing sit at the same table. However, Lin Junyi still had a question in his mind: Given Gu Qing's personality, why would he agree to sit at the same table with him?
Jiang Xiaoyu sat next to Lin Junyi and looked at his face which looked like a villain who had succeeded in his evil plan. He felt very uncomfortable. Jiang Xiaoyu had never looked at Lin Junyi straight in the eye before. He was planning to find a chance to drive him away, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative and ask her to get out first. It was so embarrassing!
Regardless of Jiang Xiaoyu's depression, Zhao Kaishun read out the test results in the physics class today and "battled" with Lin Junyi, which delayed half of the class. In the remaining time, he left a few exercises for everyone to do and ended the class.
Lin Junyi's brain has been highly active. He is happy that he has the opportunity to take a small revenge on Zhao Kaishun, and he is also excited that he will sit at the same table with Gu Qing in the next class.
Gu Qing was the school's recognized belle, the exquisite fairy who ranked tenth in the list of beauties. She was a good student, had an excellent temperament, and was beautiful. She had become the commoner princess in the hearts of all the boys in the school, and the number of boys who had a crush on her was as overwhelming as a tidal wave.
Although "Lin Junyi" had never liked Gu Qing before, Gu Qing was so beautiful that every time in class, his eyes would involuntarily glance at the slender figure in the first row who was studying hard. Sometimes he would even watch her every move throughout the class, spending more time looking at her than at the blackboard.
Of course, not only Lin Junyi, many boys sitting at the back of the classroom would steal a few glances at her intentionally or unintentionally, as if this would make them feel a little satisfied.
In early summer, a faint liking and a heart-pounding feeling fly in the hearts of countless young boys.
Now, being able to sit at the same table with such a stunning beauty and spend every day and night with her, Lin Junyi would probably wake up laughing in his dreams at night!
The long-awaited bell for the end of get out of class finally rang. Lin Junyi had never felt that the monotonous and harsh bell sounded so pleasant today.
Because, the head teacher Zhao Kaishun has already said that the seats will be changed in the next class, which means that Lin Junyi will soon sit at the same table with the beautiful Gu Qing!
Zhao Kaishun had just left the classroom when Jiang Xiaoyu, who had been holding back for the entire class, finally spoke. She looked at Lin Junyi in surprise and exclaimed, "Xiao Linzi, why are you so fierce today? You actually dared to argue with Zhao Kaishun right there and then, and even managed to force him to change your seat. Now you can sit at the same table with Gu Qing! I'm so envious!"
Lin Junyi just smiled when he heard that, but his eyes were looking at Gu Qing who was sitting in front of him, carefully organizing his things.
"Hehe, the more I think about you, the more powerful you become! Either you explode in silence or perish in silence. You exploded so fiercely today!" Jiang Xiaoyu was still talking excitedly.
"It's nothing, I just can't stand Teacher Zhao's arrogant attitude towards us poor students!" Lin Junyi said lightly.
"Yeah, you really stood up for us poor students today!" Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly smiled mysteriously and whispered in his ear, "Classmate Gu Qing is so beautiful. I wonder if you have feelings for her? Otherwise, why would you choose to sit at the same table with her?"
Lin Junyi patted Jiang Xiaoyu's thick shoulders and said with a smile, "Don't guess randomly. I just want her to help me with my studies."
Jiang Xiaoyu didn't want to believe it at all. He just smiled and said, "I understand." He had never realized that this guy had such a strong "gossip spirit" before.
Lin Junyi's class had three times as many girls as boys, so many students sat two to a table. Gu Qing's deskmate was also a girl, Wang Xiaoyan. She was pretty, with an average score of 80 for looks, and her academic performance was always in the upper middle range. Although she was reluctant to have Gu Qing and Jiang Xiaoyu swap seats, the homeroom teacher, "Zhao Dapao," had spoken, so who would dare disobey?
Lin Junyi walked to Gu Qing's desk and asked softly, "Do you need my help?"
"Um...Okay, help me get my schoolbag!" Gu Qing looked at Lin Junyi, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
When Gu Qing was about to move out, Lin Junyi noticed that she was very cold towards Wang Xiaoyan. It seemed that although the two had been desk mates for nearly a month, their relationship was very ordinary. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Alas, the relationship between women is really subtle!"
It was break time and the atmosphere in the class was very lively, mainly because there were so many news happening in the last class - Lin Junyi and the head teacher Zhao Kaishun had a heated argument, and the two made a bet and swore that he would have to sit at the same table with Gu Qing, the monitor and beauty in the class, in the future.
In that youthful era on campus, who would sit next to whom as a boy or girl was always a focus of attention.
"Lin Junyi is so lucky! Since the first year of junior high, those boys who wanted to sit at the same table with Gu Qing have all failed, but I didn't expect that he would get there first today!"
"Hey, stop complaining. It's because we don't have the courage to make a bet or an oath with Teacher Zhao!"
