"The rules of the competition are very simple. I will give you four word puzzles to guess, and you have 30 seconds to guess each one."
"If you can guess even half of it correctly, I'll apologize to you immediately."
"If you can guess them all correctly, I might even pick up this megaphone on the podium, walk out of the classroom and apologize to you in public."
"By the way, I don't mind if you all come at me together."
"After all, three cobblers with their wits combined can equal one Zhuge Liang."
He Xie explained the rules to Chen Yuntong and the others.
Upon hearing this, the sycophant from a cultured family said, "That won't do. There's another condition: the riddle can't be too strange, and the solution must be logical and well-founded, otherwise it won't count."
He Xie, with a chuunibyou-like expression, said, "Hmph, I, Chen Beixuan, have always acted with integrity and uprightness. Why would I need to use such petty tricks to benefit myself?"
At this moment, Zhang Kaizi frowned and said, "He Xie, you don't need to compete with them. Just ignore them."
Before He Xie could respond, Chen Yuntong narrowed her eyes and said, "Zhang Kaizi, this is none of your business, don't meddle."
After hearing this, Zhang Kaizi glanced at He Xie and, seeing that the parties involved hadn't said anything, decided not to interfere further.
Gradually, the people in the classroom began to whisper among themselves.
"You really can't judge a book by its cover. I never expected He Xie to be able to solve riddles. I remember his academic scores were pretty bad in the class placement test in his first year of high school."
"Solving riddles is more of a hobby and has little to do with whether or not one is academically inclined."
Who do you think will win?
"Chen Yuntong and the others, after all, Gao Xiaowen ranked second in the whole school in the cultural subject when he was placed in the class, so he should have a lot of cultural knowledge."
"Of course, after all, he comes from a family with a long history of cultural learning."
"......"
Hearing the whispers of the students around him, Gao Xiaowen, a loyal admirer of Chen Yuntong, was overjoyed.
Unexpectedly, the academic subjects that I used to despise the most have come in handy today, allowing me to impress my goddess.
Indeed, having many skills is never a bad thing.
Seeing that the other party had no objections, He Xie asked, "Are you ready?"
"Let's begin."
Chen Yuntong said with an impatient look.
She couldn't wait to see He Xie apologize to her in public.
Seeing that Chen Yuntong was ready, He Xie posed the question: "The first riddle begins. The question is—who else is there besides you and him?"
Who else is there besides you and him?
The people in the classroom were completely confused.
Chen Yuntong, who was her opponent, was also completely clueless and could only turn her head to look at Gao Xiaowen beside her.
Gao Xiaowen smiled slightly, then leaned close to Chen Yuntong's ear with a confident expression and whispered the answer, the action looking very intimate.
His opportunistic behavior made the other sycophants around him grin with envy.
That son of a bitch, he's putting his mouth so close, is he trying to kiss Tongtong's ear?!
What a despicable scoundrel! Just die already!
Chen Yuntong noticed the strange behavior of the other sycophants, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Because as a female sea queen, she enjoys men surrounding her, vying for her attention, and even fighting over her.
This makes her feel important.
"Do we have the answer yet?"
Seeing that Chen Yuntong had not answered for a long time, He Xie couldn't help but urge her.
Chen Yuntong smiled and said, "The answer is the word 'I' in the middle of 'you, me, and him'."
"You're quite capable."
As he said this, He Xie deliberately frowned, pretending to be somewhat annoyed, to give Chen Yuntong some false information.
Chen Yuntong had no idea about any of this, and seeing him looking so gloomy, she felt incredibly pleased.
Soon, He Xie continued with another question: "Definitely tomorrow."
Definitely tomorrow?
The classroom fell silent once again.
The question is so short, only four characters long, how can we possibly guess it?
However, Gao Xiaowen, who comes from a cultured family, immediately knew the answer upon hearing it.
Then, just like before, he leaned close to Chen Yuntong's ear and told her the answer.
Chen Yuntong stepped back with some disdain, then looked at He Xie and replied:
"The answer to this riddle is—it is him, it is him, it is still him, the word 'is' in the lyrics of our hero Nezha."
After hearing this answer.
He Xie immediately resorted to his old trick, adopting a serious expression and trying his best to show an incredulous look that he had actually lost.
Chen Yuntong was completely unaware that she had fallen into He Xie's carefully woven web. Seeing his unpleasant expression, she felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
Then, with a smile on his face, he said:
"Hey, Mr. He, I've already solved two riddles correctly. You've already lost this contest. Do you still want to keep trying?"
"continue!"
He Xie released his qi and blood slightly, deliberately making himself blush, looking like he was so engrossed that he wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin.
Seeing this, Chen Yuntong said with a smile, "Talented He, please remember what you just said. If I guessed everything correctly, you will have to take a megaphone, walk out of the classroom, and apologize to me in public in the corridor."
"I know, you don't need to say more."
He Xie sounded somewhat impatient, and then asked, "There's not enough water."
The question had barely been posed when Chen Yuntong, as always, received the answer from Gao Xiaowen, and then replied with an air of nonchalance:
The character "沙" in "滩滩" (sand beach).
"hiss!"
He Xie gasped, his expression saying, "Chen Yuntong, how are you so amazing? This is impossible, this is not scientific."
Seeing his face contorted in discomfort, Chen Yuntong felt an intense pleasure, almost reaching orgasm.
"He Xie is likely to suffer a severe punishment today."
Class monitor Lin Ruoxi frowned slightly, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing, and said with a worried expression.
Hearing this, Lin Chuchu also frowned.
The other students were also whispering among themselves.
Some looked worried.
Some have no expression.
There are also those who enjoy watching the drama unfold.
They'd love for this to escalate even further.
That will make things interesting.
Soon, He Xie managed to utter the last word puzzle:
"The bus is unloading the goods; this batch has already been sold."
Unloading cargo from a bus?
Has this batch already been sold?
Gao Xiaowen almost burst out laughing after hearing this.
This question is way too easy.
He was starting to suspect that He Xie was deliberately trying to win him over; otherwise, anyone with a brain wouldn't have given him such a simple question.
Chen Yuntong got the answer from him and smiled knowingly, saying:
"The answer to this question is—Let's compare the character '比' in the riddle. Mr. He, is my answer correct?"
These words were utterly devastating, dragging out He Xie's previous confident demeanor and repeatedly humiliating him, leaving him utterly disgraced.
Seeing that He Xie remained silent, Chen Yuntong said sarcastically, "He, the great talent, why aren't you saying anything? Is my answer right or wrong?"
"You're right.
He Xie said weakly.
Hearing him say that, Chen Yuntong's smile grew even wider.
She slightly suppressed her smile, then said with a cat-and-mouse expression, "Come on, Mr. He, fulfill the bet you just made and go outside in the corridor to apologize to me loudly in public."
He Xie clenched his fist after hearing this, his face showing an expression of unwillingness to admit defeat, and then tried to struggle, saying, "Let's check the answers again. Maybe there were some mistakes you made that I didn't notice."
"Ha, do you think that's possible?"
Chen Yuntong said with amusement, "Hey, Mr. He, you're not trying to renege on your promise, are you?"
In response to her questioning, He Xie immediately said, "Don't make hasty judgments about others. I, He Xie, always keep my word. I just wanted to be more rigorous and make sure the answer was correct."
After saying that, he continued, "The four riddles I just gave are as follows."
"First question: Who else are you, him, and me?"
"The second course, definitely tomorrow."
"The third course has a little too little water."
"The fourth batch has been sold."
"What were those four answers you just gave? Tell me quickly and let's check them against each other."
"Ha, a futile struggle."
Chen Yuntong sneered, then said slowly and deliberately, "The answer is—I am, sha, bi."
