This made Ye Chen feel ecstatic, and he thought that Zhao Kaishun must be crying secretly in his heart.
The bet between teachers and students was unprecedented in Huahai No. 1 Middle School. Now the news spread throughout the school, and almost everyone knew that Ye Chen from Class 3 (6) and his head teacher Zhao Kaishun had made separate vows.
If Ye Chen ranked in the top three in the class in the final exam, Zhao Kaishun would crawl ten laps like a tortoise; if Ye Chen failed, he would have to kneel down and say that he was a "pig".
Now, Ye Chen actually won and even ranked third in the grade!
The class was quiet, and everyone was wondering whether Zhao Kaishun would fulfill his promise.
Zhao Kaishun stood on the podium, trying hard to stop his trembling legs and pretending to be calm, but his ashen face clearly revealed what he was thinking.
This funny scene made all the students in Class 3 (6) laugh. However, due to the influence of Zhao Kaishun's past prestige, they all blushed and dared not laugh out loud.
Ye Chen also felt a sense of relief at having avenged his great hatred, but on the surface he still appeared calm and composed, as if achieving such a good result was within his expectations.
Moreover, he felt that the score was lower than he expected, and he was not very satisfied. The scores for the three minor subjects were too low. You know, Ye Chen has a cheating-level photographic memory and a super memory. Coupled with his hard work these days, it is reasonable that his grades have improved by leaps and bounds.
Zhao Kaishun saw the mocking expressions on the faces of his classmates, and his expression became even gloomier. At the same time, his hatred for Ye Chen almost reached its peak, and he even regarded him as his sworn enemy. He secretly swore in his heart: "Ye Chen, you made me embarrass myself in front of so many people today and lost face. I will definitely settle this account with you later. Moreover, I will pay you back tenfold and a hundredfold!"
"Congratulations, classmate, you have made such rapid progress!" Gu Qing's tender and soft voice sounded in Ye Chen's ears.
"Thank you, you have contributed to this too! If it weren't for your tireless help these days, I wouldn't have made such great progress." Ye Chen stared at Gu Qing's pure and beautiful face and said teasingly.
Although both of them have feelings for each other, they dare not act too conspicuously in front of Zhao Kaishun. Moreover, at this time, Zhao Kaishun can hold Ye Chen tightly.
"It's mainly because you found your study state. I didn't actually help you much." Gu Qing was very humble, with a smile on her beautiful face.
"Then I have to thank you very much!" While Zhao Kaishun continued to read the results, Ye Chen tilted his head and stared at Gu Qing with a lewd smile and said, "How about I treat you to lunch at noon?"
"Ah? That's not necessary?" A blush appeared on Gu Qing's pretty face, but she was not surprised that Ye Chen asked her to have dinner. Ye Chen had mentioned it before, but she had neither agreed nor objected at that time.
"It is necessary, of course it is necessary!" Ye Chen smiled slightly. In fact, Gu Qing's words just now were just out of the girl's unique reserve, and she didn't mean to reject his invitation.
Zhao Kaishun was still reading out the results. The last place became Jiang Xiaoyu with a total score of 220 points. Although it was an improvement over the last time, because Ye Chen's score soared like a rocket to second place, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly fell back to the "tail" of the class.
Zhao Kaishun did not criticize Jiang Xiaoyu. Instead, he encouraged him a few words and then started the class formally.
He never mentioned the bet with Ye Chen, and of course no one in the class dared to force him to fulfill the bet.
Ye Chen had been prepared for Zhao Kaishun's shameless behavior, but he did not mention the bet. After all, Zhao Kaishun was his head teacher, and they met each other every day. If he forced Zhao Kaishun to fulfill the bet and crawl ten laps like a turtle in front of everyone today, although he could relieve his anger temporarily, it would cause Zhao Kaishun to be extremely jealous. In this way, after the class was divided, there might not be any teacher who would really like Ye Chen.
Moreover, this time, in addition to making a bet with Zhao Kaishun, Ye Chen also made a bet with his wife Li Zishan. He secretly made up his mind that this time, he would make Zhao Kaishun wear a big green hat no matter what.
School is over at noon.
The students in the class rushed out like wild horses, some went to the cafeteria, some went home, and some went to eat at the snack bar outside the school.
Ye Chen was packing his things slowly. He glanced at Gu Qing beside him and found that he was also staring at him. Their eyes met and Gu Qing couldn't help but shyly look away.
"Let's go! I'll treat you to lunch at noon to express my gratitude to you!" Ye Chen stood up and said with a smile.
Gu Qing didn't reject him directly in the morning, which was equivalent to giving him another chance.
"No need? I didn't help you with anything, how can I bear to let you spend money?" Gu Qing's face flushed and she said shyly.
"Haha, it's nothing. A bowl of beef noodles doesn't cost much." Ye Chen said with a faint smile.
"Is it the very clean noodle shop you mentioned last time?" Gu Qing blushed and asked softly.
"Yes, it's authentic Lanzhou beef noodles, which are nutritious, healthy, delicious and inexpensive." Ye Chen laughed.
"Oh...then can I call my mother and talk to her? But she may not agree." Gu Qing said softly with a red face.
"Okay, if you don't have time today, we can do it another day." The sincerity in Ye Chen's eyes made Gu Qing unable to bear to refuse his invitation.
"Well, then you wait for me in the classroom for a while." Gu Qing smiled, turned around and walked out of the classroom quickly.
Ye Chen looked at Gu Qing's slender and graceful figure through the classroom window and ran towards the store at the school gate.
Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder. It was Jiang Xiaoyu.
"Hey, Brother Chen, what were you talking about with our beautiful squad leader just now? You looked so excited."
"I just want to invite her to dinner at noon. She is taking a leave of absence!" Ye Chen said with a smile without hiding it.
"Ah, things have developed so fast? Let's have dinner together?" Jiang Xiaoyu opened his mouth in surprise.
"What? I just want to express my gratitude to her. Don't get the wrong idea, kid!" Ye Chen laughed.
"Come on, who would believe that? But you really did amazingly well in this exam!" Jiang Xiaoyu said bitterly, "I used to be consistently ranked second to last, but with your sudden improvement, I naturally became last. How am I going to explain this to my parents when I get home?"
"How should I know? You figure it out yourself!" Ye Chen chuckled dryly.
"Or... I said that the guy who was ranked last had diarrhea and dysentery and didn't come to the exam?" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a joking smile.
"Go away, don't curse me!" Ye Chen smiled and pushed him, saying seriously, "Hurry up and eat. If you go too late, there will be no food in the cafeteria!"
"My deskmate, my mother agrees, let's go!" Gu Qing returned to the classroom, her pretty face slightly flushed with shyness, and she smiled reservedly at Ye Chen with her lips pursed.
"That's great, thank you for your honor, squad leader!" Ye Chen smiled humorously and exaggeratedly imitated the ancients to bow.
"Hate it, let's go, class will start if you dawdle any longer!" Gu Qing was amused by his behavior and burst out laughing, and rolled her eyes at him.
Ye Chen smiled, walked out of the classroom with Gu Qing, went downstairs and headed straight for the school gate.
Ye Chen and Gu Qing naturally attracted countless attention along the way. Gu Qing was the school belle that all the boys in the school were paying attention to, and there were countless boys who had a crush on her. Today, when they saw the commoner princess in their minds walking side by side with a boy out of the school gate, they were not only extremely surprised but also extremely jealous.
If looks could kill, Ye Chen would have been "cut into pieces" by those boys long ago. Of course, there were still people pointing fingers and talking about him behind his back, and some "gossip parties" also started to act secretly.
"Hey, did you see that? Gu Qing actually went out with a boy!"
"They must have gone out to eat. What is their relationship?"
"Needless to say? Countless guys have wanted to date her in the past, but Gu Qing never gave them a chance! Even the famous Master Zheng, they were all turned down by her. Who is that guy today? He's so impressive, yet he got the upper hand?"
"Let's go and quietly follow behind and take a look..."
Ye Chen suddenly became the "public enemy" of all the boys in the school. Facing the pointing and talking along the way, he just smiled faintly, secretly proud in his heart: "What are you jealous of? I am the one who is close to the water and gets the moon first!"
Gu Qingke was not as calm as Ye Chen. She was naturally shy, and this was her first time to eat with a boy. Although she had a good impression of Ye Chen and they had had close contact, she was inevitably a little nervous. Her elegant and delicate face was flushed, and her heart was pounding. The strange looks around her made her even more shy, and the blush on her pretty face became even deeper.
In fact, even Gu Qing herself was surprised that she agreed to Ye Chen's invitation so quickly. Especially facing Ye Chen's sincere eyes and warm invitation, she really couldn't bear to refuse him.
"Well, let it be a reward for his hard work these days!" Gu Qing thought to himself.
"But, he's the one treating me to dinner. This is my first time eating with a boy!" Thinking of this, her heart was pounding like a deer in her arms. She could only comfort herself silently; "It's okay, just this time, just this time..."
For young boys and girls who are just beginning to fall in love, in this season of youth and passion, a faint, intoxicating throbbing flows into their hearts like a stream of cool spring water.
Gu Qing was wearing a fitted white dress today, which was covered with lace flowers. It was elegant and refreshing, and exuded the purity and liveliness unique to girls. Her calves, which were covered in flesh-colored transparent glass crystal stockings, were exposed outside - snow-white, tender, and crystal clear, making people want to rush up and touch them.
Ye Chen only felt a fresh, sweet fragrance entering his nose, which was a blend of mint cooling shower gel and a girl's body fragrance. It smelled very good.
"Ye Chen, can you lead the way? I haven't been to that beef noodle restaurant..." When they arrived at the school gate, Gu Qing said shyly with a red face.
"Okay, follow me!" Ye Chen smiled slightly. He saw the shyness in her expression and knew that she was not used to walking side by side with boys. She had already been under a lot of pressure on the campus just now.
Ye Chen took a few quick steps forward, and Gu Qing followed quietly behind him with a red face, keeping a distance of five steps from him and keeping their steps in sync.
"Ye Chen, is that noodle shop far from the school?" Gu Qing asked softly from behind.
"It's not far, just turn an alley and you'll be there." Ye Chen smiled and glanced at her with his head tilted. He saw her long eyelashes trembling gently, and her delicate nose and round chin formed a perfect and charming arc.
The two walked one after the other for a while, and Ye Chen pointed to a noodle shop called "Kou Kou Xiang" in front and said with a smile: "This is it!"
He used to come to this beef noodle restaurant often, especially when he was in junior high school. He almost treated it as a cafeteria. Although it was called a beef noodle restaurant, it did not only sell noodles. It usually made snacks such as fried rice, mixed vegetables, and stir-fried vegetables. But later, because of his unusual relationship with the woman in his family, he rarely went to this noodle restaurant.
"Boss, two bowls of beef ramen, add more chopped green onions!" Ye Chen shouted after he came in.
Gu Qing followed him into the noodle shop, her beautiful eyes flickering as she looked around. This noodle shop was indeed as Chu Tianfeng said, very clean, with freshly painted walls and the tables and chairs polished to a shine.
"By the way, what side dishes do you like?" Ye Chen sat down, stared at Gu Qingxiao and asked.
"It doesn't matter, just don't make it too greasy." Gu Qing picked up the paper towel on the table. Although the table and chairs were wiped clean, she still wiped them carefully again before sitting down.
"Then let's have a home-cooked cold dish!" Ye Chen smiled and continued to ask Gu Qing: "What else do you want to eat? The fragrant shredded chicken here is also good."
"No, I can't eat all of this!" Gu Qingtian smiled and shook her head.
Ye Chen smiled secretly in his heart: "This girl is very frugal, good at managing the household, gentle and virtuous, she will be a good wife and mother in the future!"
With the arrival of Ye Chen and Gu Qing, several groups of customers came to the noodle shop instantly, and they were all dressed as students. Originally, the noodle shop was located in a remote area and usually there were few people coming, but today it was full all of a sudden.
These students all came with Gu Qing and Ye Chen. They were here to eat noodles, but mainly to see the "gossip". As the school belle that everyone in the school pays attention to, Gu Qing was having her first date with a boy today, which was simply the top news!
Gu Qing clearly felt the strange looks cast back at her from those around her. Her pretty face flushed, and her lips pouted slightly. She thought to herself, "These people come to the noodle shop and don't even take the initiative to order food. Could they be following me here?"
"My deskmate, you have quite a lot of fans." Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Fans?" Gu Qing was stunned when she heard that, and looked at Ye Chen with questioning eyes.
"Haha, I'm not a big star!" Then, Gu Qingqing's pure and elegant face flushed brightly, and she replied shyly.
"You are too modest! You are a good student, pretty and cute, and ranked sixth on the 'School Beauty List'. You are a star in our school. I am also your fan!" Ye Chen laughed.
"How can I be that good!" Gu Qing smiled sweetly, her little face flushed, but she was very happy in her heart. Which girl doesn't like others to praise her!
Not long after, two bowls of steaming beef noodles and a plate of refreshing cold dishes were served. Perhaps the noodle shop owner was grateful to Ye Chen and Gu Qing for bringing him good business, so the amount of beef in both bowls of noodles was larger than usual.
Ye Chen pulled out a pair of disposable chopsticks from the tube beside the table, wiped them gently with a tissue, then broke open a pair of chopsticks and gently handed them to Gu Qing. This series of elegant and gentlemanly movements made the boys in the noodle shop dumbfounded and secretly jealous.
"Thank you." Gu Qing took the chopsticks and smiled sweetly. Ye Chen's performance just now also made her eyes sparkle with little sparkling stars.
But when Gu Qing's eyes fell on the beef noodles in front of her, Cui Bichunshan's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw it. The waiter in this noodle shop was really a bit of a "half-baked idiot". He gave a bowl of beef ramen with more fat to Gu Qing, while his own beef noodles had more lean meat.
"You don't like eating fatty meat, right?" Ye Chen stared at Gu Qing and asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" Gu Qing nodded gently.
Ye Chen smiled, pulled out a clean pair of chopsticks from the tube, broke it open, and gently picked up the fat from Gu Qing's bowl and put it into his own bowl, and then picked up the lean meat from his own bowl and gave it to her, which dazzled the surrounding student diners.
"Thank you!" Gu Qing smiled sweetly, her heart filled with sweetness: "I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly. He really had to thank that "idiot" waiter today for giving him such a good opportunity to show himself. He probably gained more points in Gu Qing's heart.
The two of them started eating in this ambiguous atmosphere, occasionally chatting a few words, mostly about food.
"How does this noodle taste? Do you like it? Do you want to add some vinegar?" Ye Chen stared at Gu Qing with clear eyes and asked with concern.
"No need, I like something lighter." Gu Qing smiled sweetly, her eyes slightly curved, like a pair of beautiful crescent moons.
Ye Chen smiled, and his sharp eyes swept over the jealous eyes around him, thinking to himself: "I think these people should be jealous!"
The students who followed to watch the fun ordered a bowl of beef noodles at the same time, but they were obviously not concentrating while eating the noodles, and their eyes were always glancing at the table where Ye Chen and Gu Qing were sitting.
The beef noodles here have clear soup, with the white part being the noodles, the red part being the meat, and the green part being the chopped green onions. It looks appetizing and tastes even better.
After Gu Qing and Ye Chen chatted for a few words, they started eating in silence, no longer paying attention to the strange looks in the noodle shop.
"There are too many noodles. I can't finish it!" Girls have small appetites. She ate half of the big bowl of beef noodles and couldn't eat any more. Gu Qing secretly regretted that she should have asked for a small bowl. It was all her fault for being too careless. Maybe she was a little nervous because it was her first time eating with a boy.
"You really can't eat anymore?" Ye Chen smiled slightly, and saw a trace of crystal sweat oozing out of Gu Qing's pretty nose, like dew after rain, and hurriedly handed her a tissue.
"I really can't finish it. It's a pity to throw it away. Isn't it a waste of food?" Gu Qing gently wiped the sweat from his little face with a tissue and said with an embarrassed look.
"Let me help you eat!" Ye Chen smiled, and without caring whether Gu Qing agreed or not, he reached out and picked up her bowl of noodles, and put the remaining half bowl of noodles into his bowl.
Gu Qing widened her watery eyes in surprise, staring at Ye Chen as he completed that series of actions. She couldn't help but lower her head in shame, a blush flying across her fair cheeks. Now the two of them looked like a couple having dinner together. If the girl couldn't finish it, the boy would clean up the mess...
The people in the noodle shop were stunned. The boys were so jealous that they wanted to rush up and bite Ye Chen a few times.
The blush on Gu Qingqiao's face deepened, and she thought to herself, "Ye Chen is really something. Now everyone knows about our relationship!"
However, when she secretly caught a glimpse of Ye Chen eating happily as if nothing had happened, she muttered to herself: "How can this guy eat so much? He ate a whole bowl and still wasn't full, so he ate the remaining half of my bowl!"
Thinking of this, Gu Qing inexplicably felt a hint of sweetness in his heart. He had often heard people say in the past that a man who is willing to eat your leftovers must be a reliable man who is worth entrusting your life to.
Ye Chen finished his noodles, cleared the cold dishes on the table, and finally drank the noodle soup. He then wiped his mouth with a tissue and said with a smile, "When I was short of money in the past, I craved beef noodles. I could only order a small bowl, and then a few more bowls of noodle soup to drink, just to fill my stomach!"
"Haha, since you're full today, why not have another bowl? I'll treat you." Gu Qing smiled sweetly.
"I'm full. If I eat any more, I'll turn into a pig!" Ye Chen stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go!"
"Humph, you eat more than a pig." Gu Qing muttered to himself but didn't say it out loud.
Ye Chen paid the bill with the waiter, which was only forty yuan in total. Then he and Gu Qing walked out of the noodle shop together. This time, the two of them did not walk one after the other like they did when they came, but walked side by side, talking and laughing.
The main reason was that Gu Qing had no more excuses. When he came here, he could say that he didn't know the way and asked Ye Chen to lead the way. But what about coming back? Who in the school didn't know Ye Chen?
Ye Chen looked at Gu Qing, whose pretty face was flushed, and could only laugh in his heart: "This girl is really reserved and cute!"
