Chapter 472  : Study Hard

Meng Yang was visibly deflated. He hung his head and muttered, “This counts as misconduct, doesn’t it?”

Principal Kong sighed helplessly. “I don’t like getting involved in the business of other people, especially young ones like you. Just do what you need to do. If you made a promise, then you naturally have to keep it.”

And just like that, Meng Yangperked up again like a wilted flower that had just been watered.

He beamed happily at the man. “I understand, Uncle Kong. Take care on your way!”

Principal Kong was still miffed, of course, but he had little choice in the matter.

“Study hard,” he said through gritted teeth before turning around and walking away.

Yan Wei stood at the entrance of the cafeteria and watchedPrincipal Kongwave his hand before meandering through the crowd.

Her face turned ashen, her mood becoming even fouler.

If Principal Konghadn’t made an appearance in the first place, she wouldn’t have harbored any hope about her situation. Now that the highest authority on campus had left, she couldn’t help but feel a great sense of loss.

It was like she had been pushed from the brink and into an abyss of despair.

By the time Yan Weihad finished yelling her five hundredth sentence, her voice was already hoarse, and her eyes had become dull, lifeless orbs.

When she was done, the students of Class 20 slowly ambled back to their classroom.

As for Yan Wei, she refused to return to the dormitory like some wounded dog. Instead, she burst into their classroom and glared daggers atYao Tang.

......

She didn’t spare anyone else, glaring and growling at any classmate who dared to look in her direction.

“You all did very well today,” she told them. “I will definitely remember this!”

Meng Yang snickered from his desk.

“Oh, you’re finally done? You know, that megaphone I offered actually had an echo feature that repeats what you say several times. Alas, you insisted on shouting by yourself. How does it feel?”

Yan Wei trembled with rage after hearing that. Her face turned so red, they half-expected her to vomit blood at any minute.

She had yelled until her throat was about to explode, and now Meng Yangwas bragging about his special megaphone.Yan Weiwas beyond infuriated.

It took a moment for her to calm down, but she eventually convinced herself that the boy had only said this to provoke her even further.

‘No, No, I can’t lose myself now!’

Even so, her emotions still got the better of her.

Her face was twisted into an ugly scowl.

Li Ruo took one look at her friend’s expression and whispered, “Weiwei, please come over and sit. I have something to ask you.”

In truth, Li Ruohad nothing to say. She simply wantedYan Weito sit down in an attempt to defuse the tense atmosphere.

Thankfully, Yan Weinodded and walked over to her seat.

“Yan Wei,” Lin Xinsuddenly called out, her hands on her hips. “Are you forgetting the rest of the bet? There’s still one other thing you need to do, isn’t there?”

They never wanted these new students to take over the seats of Yan Yuand the other boys who had dropped out.

However, they couldn’t exactly forbid Yan Weiand her companions, lest people said that they were bullying the exchange students.

But things were different this time. This had been stipulated in the bet.

Yan Wei was just about to plop on her seat whenLin Xinspoke. She sprang back to her feet and swept a hostile glance across the entire class. “Fine, then! We’ll leave! It’s just a small, insignificant school, anyway. What makes you think I’d want to stay here?”

She stomped to the door. “My time here has really taught me what kind of place this No. 1 High Schoolis. Who would want to stay around the likes of you?”

“Weiwei!”

Li Ruo rushed out of her seat and chased afterYan Wei.

Just before she stepped out into the hallway, she whirled around and berated the class. “You guys are too much! How can you treat Weiwei like this? This is school violence!”

But the other students only laughed at her face, not even the least bit fazed by the heavy accusation she threw.

“I can’t fit so many books at my place,” Yao Tangsaid out of the blue. “Five cars are still on the grounds, waiting to be unloaded.”

“Don’t worry, Sister Tang,”Meng Yangsaid in earnest. “You have us. With all of our houses combined, we’ll surely find a place for every book.”

Lin Xin andQin Jinggaped at him in horror.

They opened their mouths to dissuade him, but he was already bobbing his head happily as though everything had already been settled. The two girls could only look at each other wearily.

Yao Tang nodded in satisfaction. “All right, then.”
