While Sun Yunyun had a very good relationship with just about all her classmates, and her attitude toward her male peers was not as disdainful as that of her female ones, her beauty and keen intellect made it difficult for most to approach her. The male students only dared to like her silently in their hearts and secretly had a crush on her. They did not dare to confess to her. They could not bear to distract Sun Yunyun, who was focused on preparing for the exam, so they could only silently wish her a bright future. Especially those who had been affected by the rumors some time ago; they felt particularly guilty.

It was because their feelings for Sun Yunyun were not strong enough that they had been affected by the rumors. The facts proved Sun Yunyun was still a kind, generous, gentle, and intelligent young woman.

So it was unsurprising that many took this opportunity to showcase their loyalties by putting down Di Juan, who was firmly against Sun Yunyun. Di Juan seethed, stewing angrily as her classmates berated her. However, she was just one person; she could not hope to stand up against the collective abuse of those around her. Even a few female students who were originally close to her spoke up for Sun Yunyun.

Di Juan’s deskmate pulled her arm, urging her to sit down. “Di Juan, don’t say anything else. You’re not going to convince them. Can’t you see that even our homeroom teacher has been fooled by her?”

“There’s no way Sun Yunyun is the real deal; it’s not like I’m jealous of her.” Di Juan huffed with her fists clenched, thumping her table in frustration. Her actions immediately attracted the disapproval of their form teacher, the latter’s reproachful gaze leaving Dj Juan even more upset.

“I believe you. Someone with good study habits shouldn’t have so many discrepancies in their test scores and regular work.” The two of them felt that something was wrong with Sun Yunyun.

“Student Di Juan.”

Satisfied that public opinion was in her favor, Sun Yunyun smiled warmly and said, “Since you question my capabilities, how about we make a bet?” Sun Yunyun seemed almost shy as she stood, challenging Di Juan before the whole class.

“What are the stakes?” Di Juan’s annoyance spiked, and she had already accepted the bet internally, whether it meant she would lose or not.

“My bet is thus: I’ll be the first student to enter university in Clear Water County in recent years.” Sun Yunyun smiled weakly, which contrasted with her strange confidence. “What do you say? Will you take me up on my bet?”

“Why wouldn’t I?”

“Alright then. It’s settled.”

Their homeroom teacher sincerely hoped Sun Yunyun would be able to enter university. Since the exams were around the corner, the homeroom teacher hoped to get her students to relax. What better way was there than some friendly competition?

“What do you want in return?”

Sun Yunyun smiled. She was certain she would become the first student to enter university in Clear Water County in some years. Naturally, she hoped to take Di Juan down a peg or two since the outcome of their bet was practically certain. She had almost slipped up by demanding 100 yuan as compensation, but she held back for the sake of her cultivated image.

“If I win, I want a public apology.”

As expected, Sun Yunyun’s ‘noble’ bet attracted praise from her classmates.

“Fine. I’ll take this bet.” Di Juan could not stand Sun Yunyun’s continued provocation and agreed without a second thought.

Her deskmate did not even have the chance to stop her. Wasn’t it obvious she would lose? Although she agreed with Di Juan that Sun Yunyun’s class performance was suspicious, it was widely known how lucky she was whenever she took exams. She could very well get into university without much trouble. Di Juan had doomed herself from the start; there was no hope of winning this bet.

Di Juan was not confident she could win this bet and knew Sun Yunyun was manipulating her, but she could not care less. With the way Sun Yunyun had provoked her, if she did not stand up for herself, wouldn’t she be a coward?

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed by. Unlike the rest of her classmates, Sun Yunyun was pretty relaxed. Fifth Sister, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. She had received a notice from her homeroom teacher that the relevant forms had been processed, and she would be allowed to take the college entrance exams around the corner. Hence, she stepped up her studies to achieve the best she could..
