Because she vaguely heard many boys making rather explicit remarks.
"It's the school beauty Lin Xiaowan! Lin Xiaowan is here to watch the excitement too."
"And Xia Shiyu! Xia Shiyu is so beautiful."
"Wow~! Su Lin, Su Lin is really handsome, he's practically our school's heartthrob."
"Ye Feng... Ye Feng is here."
"Ye Feng's here. What about Yan Huan? Has she arrived?"
"I bet she won't come. Boys might be able to save face, but a girl like Yan Huan definitely can't." Ye Feng and Xu Jie walked onto the field together. "Xu Jie, I'm not bragging, but in two months at most, my grades will surpass Su Lin's and I'll be first in the entire school."
"Brother Feng, don't joke. Su Lin isn't human. He gets perfect scores in everything except Chinese, he's practically a monster. I know your grades have improved a lot, but comparing yourself to Su Lin is just asking for trouble."
Seeing Xu Jie's disbelieving expression, Ye Feng chuckled. "Remember when I made that bet with Yan Huan? You said the same thing then, and in the end, Yan Huan and Feng Yifei both lost. Now they don't dare to show their faces at school."
"So, Su Lin is destined to lose to me too."
"This... alright." Xu Jie nodded, seemingly agreeing with Ye Feng's statement.
"Su Lin, did you hear that? Ye Feng said he's going to surpass you," Lin Xiaowan said, winking at Su Lin.
Su Lin shrugged. "If he surpasses me, he surpasses me. It's good that he has that confidence."
"Tch~! Boring."
Su Lin chuckled. "Let's not worry about whether it's boring or not. Xiao Wan, don't forget our bet."
Lin Xiaowan's whole body trembled for a moment, then she leaned into Su Lin's ear and whispered, "We'll talk about it on QQ tonight."
"Okay, we'll talk tonight then."
On the other side, Xia Shiyu looked at the two of them strangely, feeling like they had whispered something, but she hadn't heard clearly.
Seeing Xia Shiyu looking over, Lin Xiaowan quickly said, "Xiao Yu, has Uncle Xia's surgery date been set? What did the hospital say? Didn't they say the surgery was this week?"
"Ah~! The hospital hasn't finalized the date yet. Ordinary doctors don't dare to perform this kind of surgery; it has to be done by the chief surgeon."
Lin Xiaowan nodded. "Then it will have to be postponed until next week."
Xia Shiyu nodded. "As long as the surgery is done within the safe timeframe, it's fine. I'm not in a hurry anymore."
"Mhm, mhm. Just wait for the notification."
As they were talking, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd ahead.
"Ye Feng, you're getting ahead of yourself. You only got over 600, Su Lin got over 740. How can you compare yourself to him?"
"Exactly, Ye Feng. Although you've improved a lot, that improvement is based on your very poor starting grades. Going from 600 to 700 is much, much harder than going from 300 to 600. You should wake up."
Hearing the disbelieving words of the crowd, Ye Feng felt a surge of secret satisfaction.
This was the effect he wanted. He wanted everyone to look down on him, so he could stun them all. That way, when he crushed Su Lin, it would be a resounding victory, making Su Lin a permanent joke in the school.
He wanted people to immediately think of him surpassing Su Lin when they mentioned their school.
"Whether I can pass is my business, you don't need to worry about it."
"You... you're ungrateful."
Ye Feng sneered and ignored the girl. His eyes quickly scanned the crowd, and he soon locked onto Su Lin.
He walked up to Su Lin. "Su Lin, dare to make a bet with me?"
Su Lin shrugged. "Ye Feng, if you're bored, go back and memorize some more vocabulary. Or you could call Feng Yifei and Yan Huan to come run laps."
"Hmph~! I think you're scared to lose to me."
Su Lin shrugged again, completely unfazed by Ye Feng's attempts to provoke him.
Just then, Lin Xiaowan beside him chimed in, "Su Lin, bet with him."
"Yeah, Su Lin, bet with him. This guy's gotten too arrogant and doesn't know his limits."
"Vice Class Monitor, bet with him! Ye Feng needs a lesson."
"..."
Su Lin ignored everyone else and looked at Lin Xiaowan. "If I bet with him, what's in it for me?"
"If I win, my grades are already good, so I'd just be beating a poor student. If I lose, I'll become the biggest joke in the school, maybe even spread to other schools. Xiao Wan, you don't want to see me embarrassed, do you?"
Being stared at by so many people in full view, and with Su Lin affectionately calling her Xiao Wan, Lin Xiaowan's face flushed a little.
She had no good feelings towards Ye Feng, especially after the incident with the 80,000 yuan. Lin Xiaowan felt nothing but disgust for Ye Feng.
She had instinctively wanted Su Lin to bet with Ye Feng when she saw how arrogant he was, but now that she thought about it, she had been a bit thoughtless.
"Su Lin, if you're afraid of losing, then don't bet. I won't say anything."
Lin Xiaowan looked at the imposing Ye Feng beside her and felt once again that Su Lin should bet, and he should win spectacularly. Otherwise, this scoundrel Ye Feng would just get even more arrogant.
Lin Xiaowan gritted her teeth, pulled Su Lin aside, and whispered, "Bet with him. This time, I'm betting on you to win. If you win, I... I'll start dating you and be your girlfriend."
"What if I lose?" Su Lin asked with a smile.
"If you lose, don't say you know me," Lin Xiaowan said, her face cold.
Su Lin narrowed his eyes at her words. "Xiao Wan, are you serious?"
This time, Lin Xiaowan didn't dodge. She met Su Lin's eyes and nodded firmly. "I'm serious, but only if you win."
Su Lin nodded. "Then get ready to be my wife."
After speaking, Su Lin looked at Ye Feng and shouted, "Ye Feng, I accept your bet! What's the stake?"
"Good! At least you have some manly spirit."
"The stake is simple, running laps. The loser has to run three laps around the track and loudly shout, 'I am a pig.'"
Su Lin nodded. "Mmm! You really are."
Ye Feng's face turned ashen. "Su Lin, if you lose, you won't go back on your word like Feng Yifei, will you?"
Su Lin chuckled. "With so many people watching, I still care about my reputation."
"Damn you, Ye Feng! Who says I go back on my word?"
Feng Yifei walked in from outside the crowd, shot Ye Feng a fierce look, and then said, "Huanhuan isn't feeling well. I'll run these three laps for him."
With that, he threw off his shirt, shouted "I am a pig," and ran off.
Neither Su Lin nor Ye Feng expected Feng Yifei to show up.
Su Lin narrowed his eyes. "Running laps seems too easy. Ye Feng, how about frog jumps? Three laps of frog jumps. Otherwise, anyone could bet with me, and I'd lose too much face."
"Fine! Frog jumps it is. Don't forget to shout 'I am a pig' while you jump."
"Mmm, you don't need to emphasize it. I know you are one."
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!!"
Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan both burst out laughing, causing those nearby to join in.
Seeing Ye Feng about to leave, Lin Xiaowan called out, "Ye Feng, you haven't set a time. We can't still be competing when we get to college."
Ye Feng's mouth twitched. "The next final monthly exam."
"Okay, the next final monthly exam it is," Su Lin nodded.
Seeing Su Lin agree to the bet, Ye Feng knew there was no point in staying any longer, so he walked towards the track to watch Feng Yifei's performance.
This action also sent a signal to everyone: arguing now was useless; they would still have to do the frog jumps later.
"Hmph, that guy is too arrogant, it makes me so angry," Lin Xiaowan said, clutching her chest and breathing heavily.
Xia Shiyu heard this and said, "Pride comes before a fall. We'll watch the fun like this then."
Su Lin nodded. "I'll pay for drinks and snacks then."
"Hehehe! Let's hope you don't lose. If you do, you'll be the one everyone laughs at," Lin Xiaowan said playfully to Su Lin.
Su Lin wanted to ruffle Lin Xiaowan's hair, but remembering they weren't a couple yet, he didn't.
Still, it was only a couple of months away.
Su Lin watched Feng Yifei running laps while shouting, shaking his head. "Let's go. It's about time, we should head out."
Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan nodded and left with Su Lin.
The three of them were inseparable at school during this time, and Su Lin had become the object of countless people's envy.
However, Su Lin's grades were excellent, and he was rich and handsome, so no one dared to cause him trouble.
As they left, Su Lin glanced at a corner of the teaching building. With his strengthened body, his senses were much sharper than others.
He knew that Yan Huan was watching Feng Yifei on the track from that spot.
