1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 35 A Bet: Inviting a Beautiful Woman to Climb Mount Tai

"Row."

Qu Peng and Li Liang nodded in unison, indicating their agreement.

Who goes first?

Wang Fan raised an eyebrow and challenged the two men to a duel.

"you."

Qu Peng and Li Liang spoke at the same time.

"You two are really shameless."

Wang Fan laughed in exasperation, then got out of the car with an air of arrogance: "Fine, I'll go first. I've got money and looks, I don't believe I can't handle a girl."

"Stop bragging and hurry up and go."

Li Liang couldn't stand his smug look, so he kicked him.

"You guys told me to go first."

While dodging, Wang Fan didn't stop arguing: "The class representative agreed, so don't regret it."

"I'll talk about it after I agree."

Qu Peng was certain he wouldn't succeed and happily waited to see the show.

"Go quickly, stop nagging."

Li Liang shared the same idea and waved to shoo them away.

"Just wait, I'll show you what real charm is."

Wang Fan tossed his hair smugly, then, as expected, walked towards the direction where Lin Xiyu was standing.

-

The alley next to Wangfu Pond is small, and anyone passing by can see it clearly.

Lin Xiyu had already spotted the three people whispering not far away. When she saw Wang Fan walking towards her, she raised her eyebrows in slight surprise.

The three were Gu Bin's childhood friends, and she knew they were very close. She had interacted with them quite a bit at school, but those were just normal interactions between classmates; they weren't close friends.

Wang Fan, in particular, relied on his family's wealth and rode his motorcycle around town all day, challenging the head of the teaching department's authority. He was a notorious troublemaker in the class. If it weren't for the fact that she was the class's academic representative and English class representative, and had to deal with him when collecting homework, she would never want to have anything to do with the landlord's foolish son.

"Hey, class monitor, I'm here to tell you that someone's up to no good, betting they want to pursue you."

As Wang Fan approached, his expression instantly changed. His cool and arrogant demeanor vanished, and he pretended to be very close to Lin Xiyu, cunningly tricking his brother.

"Who?"

Lin Xiyu frowned slightly, and indeed glanced displeasedly in the direction where Li Liang and Qu Peng were standing.

"Hiss, what is this kid talking about us for?"

Li Liang's eyes flickered slightly, and a chill inexplicably ran down his back.

"It's probably not a good thing."

Qu Peng also sensed something was wrong and quickly looked away, not daring to meet her gaze.

"Hehe, the class monitor is really smart, that's right, it's those two."

Their actions confirmed their guilty conscience, and Wang Fan secretly chuckled, then blatantly tried to sow discord between them: "These two don't even know what kind of people they are, daring to covet the class representative. I'm truly disgusted by their despicable behavior, which is why I came to remind the class representative. They made a bet that whoever can invite the class representative to climb Mount Tai together will win, and the class representative will be their girlfriend."

"Ah."

Lin Xiyu laughed in exasperation: "They can make bets whenever they want, without even asking for my opinion?"

"That's it."

Wang Fan shamelessly continued, "Even if the class representatives are really interested, the initiative is still in their hands. You should be the one choosing them. Why should they decide the winner by making a bet themselves?"

“Go back and tell them that I don’t want to climb Mount Tai.”

Lin Xiyu's face darkened as she listened, her anger rising: "Don't bother me again."

"Yes, sir, I'll go and tell them right away."

Wang Fan used a clever trick to easily figure out the class representative's thoughts, eliminating two rivals in love, and he couldn't be more pleased with himself.

He put on a dramatic act, mimicking a eunuch from a Qing Dynasty drama, and then turned around to put on a very defeated look, slinking back home.
