C34 – Causing Troubles

In a second, the two exchanged a fleeting, awkward smile.

“Did you come for the exam too?”

Glancing at the nearby classroom, Jiang Hao inquired.

“And you’re here as well?”

Soong Wan raised an eyebrow and responded.

A smile played on Jiang Hao’s lips, though he remained silent.

“What a surprise!”

As their conversation continued, a voice that irked Soong Wan rang out.

“Is that you, Student Jiang?”

Turning their heads, Jiang Hao and Soong Wan spotted Qin Shou approaching with exam tools in hand and a grin spread across his face.

“Wan’er, didn’t expect to see you!”

It appeared Qin Shou had just noticed Soong Wan and didn’t hesitate to call out.

Yet, upon seeing Qin Shou, a hint of aversion was evident in Soong Wan’s gaze, and she chose to ignore him.

As Jiang Hao observed Qin Shou coming closer, he couldn’t help but notice the perpetual smile that often misled others into thinking he was cheerful and harmless.

Who would guess that this seemingly ‘bright young man’ could contemplate harming another to such an extent?

Perhaps, had yesterday’s incident not occurred, even he might have been fooled by the amiable facade of Qin Shou!

Soong Wan’s indifference left Qin Shou slightly disconcerted. In a moment unseen by others, a glint of malice flashed in his eyes.

Subsequently, he engaged Jiang Hao in a friendly manner, his face betraying no sign of strangeness, as though he was not the one who commanded the assault on Jiang Hao’s legs the day before!

“Jiang, you’re here for the exam too! What a serendipity!”

Jiang Hao feigned astonishment!

“Really! You’re here as well?”

Jiang Hao reacted. He was eager to discern the intentions of this insincere man!

“Such a serendipity!” the man exclaimed.

“Being able to test in this class denotes that Jiang’s academic prowess is quite remarkable. I’ve heard this exam is quite stringent. How about a friendly contest to see who fares better? What say you?”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao replied with a slight, fearless smile.

“How do you propose we compete?”

At that moment, the gazes of the surrounding examinees converged on Jiang Hao, Soong Wan, and Qin Shou. A murmur of discussions rose among them.

“Isn’t that the esteemed scholar, Qin Shou, and our revered beauty of Heavenly River, Soong Wan? But who’s that accompanying them?”

“Who might he be, challenging the scholar, Qin Shou, to a competition? Could he be a scholar-lord as well?”

“Isn’t that Jiang Hao from the Eighth Class, renowned for his poor academic records due to his slumberous habits?! Why would he be here? And he dares to challenge the scholarly proficiency of the scholar-lord?”

“It’s inconceivable, isn’t it? A contest between an esteemed scholar and someone of negligible value? And he even had the audacity to accept?”

“There appears to be no suspense, does there? Jiang Hao clearly lacks self-awareness!”

Among the candidates, some were acquainted with Jiang Hao and discussed his previous actions.

Suddenly, everyone cast peculiar glances at Jiang Hao. Their eyes brimmed with mockery, as if observing a farce!

Upon overhearing the exchange between Qin Shou and Jiang Hao—in which Jiang Hao actually consented—Soong Wan became immediately distressed!

She swiftly and covertly tugged at Jiang Hao’s sleeve, advising him against agreement!

Although unaware of how Jiang Hao was admitted to this exam class, she had already had Uncle Hai investigate his background.

She was well aware of Jiang Hao’s academic struggles, which were quite severe.

However, Qin Shou was a different case. Despite her disdain for him, his academic achievements ranked him among the top ten in the third year at Tianhe Second High School!

Moreover, she was also aware that Qin Shou was duplicitous. He wasn’t as straightforward as he seemed. If he proposed this, there was certainly an ulterior motive!
