M High School Unified Examination
The next day, Shan Yun arrived half an hour early just to stop Zou Weichen.
Zou Weichen stopped the car in front of the school gate, and Shan Yun immediately chased after him and stopped him, "I don't want to bet with you, that was just a decision made by Jiang Zhe on his own."
Zou Weichen looked at him, and Shan Yun took a step back cautiously. Zou Weichen took out his student ID and showed it to the student union member on duty, then put it back in his pocket and pushed the bike into the campus.
Shan Yun chased after him, and the student on duty tried to stop him again. Shan Yun pointed at his face and said, "Why, haven't you posted my photo in the club yet? I'm Shan Yun, a transfer student!"
After saying that, he caught up with Zou Weichen.
The student union duty officer was left standing there frantically searching for the previous registration records.
After Zou Weichen parked his car in the carport, he turned around and waited for Shan Yun to catch up before he slowly walked towards the teaching building. He glanced at Shan Yun and asked, "Don't you want to gamble?"
"I don't want to. I don't know why I want to make a bet. Besides, the result is obvious. Whoever wants to gamble can do so."
"But I want to take the bet."
Shan Yun stopped walking, looking confused. "Why do you want to take this bet?"
He stood in front of Zou Weichen and said, "No, you rejected Jiang Zhe's invitation to join the school basketball team so easily. Why did you agree to his meaningless bet? He was just upset that you rejected his invitation two days ago and tried to save his face."
"You can clearly see that he used me as an excuse to reject him in the basketball team incident, and it's the same this time. Why can't you see that this time it was his own decision and had nothing to do with my personal will?"
“It’s different.”
"What's the difference?"
Zou Weichen stopped and looked at Shan Yun, his face showing no excessive expression. After a long while, he slowly said, "I am only interested in the bet Jiang Zhe proposed. If you don't want to gamble, forget it."
Ten minutes later.
Shan Yun once again walked into the classroom with his head down. He hung his schoolbag on the chair and lay down on the table. Yang Xiu was sucking milk on his left, which always made a "sizzling" sound.
Shan Yun turned to face him, staring at him sucking the little bit of milk left, raised his hand to hold his temple, "Yang Xiu."
Yang Xiu finally finished the last sip of milk. He pinched the milk carton, raised his hand and threw it towards the trash can. The milk carton fell accurately into the trash can. He clenched his fists to encourage himself. When he heard Shan Yun calling him, he immediately looked at Shan Yun.
"Do you know Zou Weichen from Class 20?"
Yang Xiu nodded and shook his head. Because his elder brother Jiang Zhe always called him Brother Yun, Yang Xiu naturally had more respect for Shan Yun and generally listened to whatever Shan Yun said.
"Brother Yun, if you want to know something, I can help you. Wait." Yang Xiu was about to stand up, but Shan Yun grabbed him in time.
Shan Yun shook his head helplessly. He had been sitting next to Yang Xiu for more than half a month, so he naturally knew Yang Xiu. Growing up, Yang Xiu was the cutest and most innocent person he had ever met, and he was also very stubborn. After hearing what he said, he would definitely run to Class 20 to find out.
Jiang Zhe rushed into the classroom like the wind, slid directly from the front row to his seat, opened his hands, stretched out his long legs, braked suddenly, and made a cool move.
"Good morning, Brother Yun, Xiu'er." Jiang Zhe greeted them without putting down his schoolbag. He directly grabbed the bread on Yang Xiu's desk, tore open the bag and took a big bite.
Jiang Zhe's breakfast was almost always brought by Yang Xiu, and Shan Yun was no longer surprised by it.
"What are you talking about?"
"Brother Yun asked me if I knew Zou Weichen."
Jiang Zhe's eyes sparkled, and he stood up excitedly, grabbing Shan Yun's shoulders, "Brother Yun, you're starting to find out about others. Are you ready to fight? Stand your ground to the end and become famous in one battle?"
Shan Yun sighed deeply and recalled what happened ten minutes ago.
When Zou Weichen said forget it with a nonchalant look on his face, Shan Yun was the one who refused to give in. Not to mention that Jiang Zhe was a jerk, Zou Weichen had been very excited that day, but now he had this kind of attitude of "I was just talking, I was joking, it doesn't matter".
Shan Yun felt that he was being teased. He didn't say anything, but the two men arranged things for him privately. He gritted his teeth and strode to Zou Weichen, pointing at him and said:
"You said forget it, but I'm interested. Let's gamble. Who's afraid of who?"
Then he walked away with a proud and heroic look, leaving Zou Weichen with a puzzled look on his face, and then a meaningful smile.
Shan Yun didn't know why he was so angry at the time and was easily provoked by the other party.
He thought about it later and realized that Zou Weichen's provocation really hit the spot. Forget it, this was probably the kind of stubbornness between boys where neither of them would give in to the other.
"I remember that Zou Weichen has never been out of the top ten in his grade, and he is very good at math, physics, biology and chemistry..."
Jiang Zhe held his head high, pinched his chin and recalled Zou Weichen's previous achievements. He was suddenly choked by Shan Yun, who said bluntly: "You know how powerful he is, but you still made the decision to gamble without authorization. Aren't you harming me?"
Jiang Zhe's expression changed and he said with a smile: "Of course our brother Yun is also very good. He can get full marks in English. It's still uncertain who will win or lose."
Shan Yun chuckled twice, loosened his hand, and sat back in his seat with a sullen look on his face.
Jiang Zhe felt that he seemed to have done something wrong. He finished his bread in two or three bites and continued to smile at Shan Yun, "How about we go and tell him that we don't want to gamble anymore? A real man can bend and stretch. Anyway, I made the bet. I'll go and tell him that I regret it and don't want to gamble anymore."
Shan Yun gave Jiang Zhe a look that made him realize that this bet was no longer a bet between Jiang Zhe and Zou Weichen.
Ten minutes ago, he had missed the opportunity to cancel the bet, and the nature of the bet had changed, becoming a bet between him and him.
If I say I don't gamble anymore now, that would be a slap in the face to myself.
Shan Yun knew that the result of the bet was self-evident, so he comforted himself in this way, it didn't matter what the result was, he didn't care.
Anyway, the moment he stubbornly agreed to the bet, his aura overwhelmed Zou Weichen.
Sometimes boys are just so pure. Winning or losing is important, but momentum is more important.
I just want to overpower you.

The Unified Examination came as scheduled. Shan Yun had just transferred to the school, so the school gave him the opportunity to freely choose between arts and science. He chose science. In M High School, regardless of whether they were repeaters or freshmen, they all had to take the Unified Examination, and then they were scattered into different classes based on their scores.
When he came out of the examination room, Shan Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the students happy, sad, beating their chests and stamping their feet, and discussing and reviewing, Shan Yun felt the vitality of students for the first time in a long time.
After half a year, he once again devoted himself to his studies, and his heart felt filled.
The exam was not very difficult, with a large number of basic questions, most of which were required topics for the college entrance exam, equivalent to the normal, relatively easy topics in previous exams in City B. He had already consolidated the tested knowledge points many times through devilish training in his previous school.
It’s just that the test format strictly follows the college entrance examination standards. After Dan Yun finished writing, he was still quite confident, especially in English, which he is good at.
For the first time, he felt that his previous boring military-style training in school had certain benefits, coupled with his hard work over the past week.
Hopefully the effort will pay off.
He estimated that his English score might be above 140, so he didn't care about the scores of other subjects, the ranking, the class division, and even forgot about the bet he had made with Zou Weichen.
Like all students, every time after the exam, they would think of putting down their books and relaxing. Shan Yun also took the opportunity to slack off.
The exam ended on a weekend, so all the teachers were grading the papers, giving the students a day to relax. Shan Yun slept for half a day and played games for half a day, and finally felt relaxed.
It was not until the next morning after the exam that he ran into Zou Weichen, who had just bought steamed buns, that he remembered the bet and chased after him, "Zou Weichen, how did you do on the exam?"
Zou Weichen walked with a gloomy face and had no intention of paying any attention to Shan Yun.
When Shan Yun recalled those words that described Zou Weichen, and thought that this test was so easy, he knew that Zou Weichen would not do so badly, and he suddenly felt very empty in his heart.
"Or, let's forget about the bet."
Zou Weichen stopped and looked back at Shan Yun.
Shan Yun just discovered that there was a Band-Aid under his ear and on the side of his neck.
But Shan Yun's attention was not on the Band-Aid at this moment, because Zou Weichen looked at him with confusion and a hint of inquiry, as if the young man in front of him was full of unknowns, and the words he said were unexpected.
But in the next few seconds, Zou Weichen took away the extra light in his eyes, leaving only indifference, and said nonchalantly: "It's up to you."
With such a nonchalant look on his face, Dan Yun really couldn't make out Zou Weichen's true self.
Wasn't it fine before?
He thought they were friends.
Shan Yun took the initiative to ask because he knew that he was bound to lose, and he hoped that Zou Weichen would agree with him and say yes, and then shake hands and make peace, so that he could step down and not lose face after losing, and would not be laughed at by Jiang Zhejixiang.
After all, Shan Yun is still young and energetic, has a sense of shame, cares about his image, and cares about winning or losing.
But Zou Weichen's expression made Shan Yun angry. He was also a person who cared a lot about face. Zou Weichen's indifferent attitude made him feel embarrassed. "Are you kidding? I really made a bet with you."
You don't care, right? I want to be more serious.
As the school term was approaching and the time for class division was tight, the teachers worked overtime on the weekends to mark the papers and finally released the grades on Monday.
The ranking list on the school bulletin board usually only publishes the total scores and rankings of the top 100 students. The rankings after the 100th place and the rankings within the class are all in the hands of the class teacher.
This exam is worth 150 points each for Chinese, mathematics, and English, 300 points each for comprehensive arts and comprehensive science, for a total score of 750 points.
Old Zhao came into the classroom early in the morning with a big smile on his face. He announced the grades of the top ten students in the class. Shan Yun ranked first in the class with a score of 572, even more than 200 points higher than the second place. Old Zhao smiled throughout the class and praised Shan Yun every few sentences he spoke.
After all, it's rare to have a student in Class 2 get such good grades.
"That's awesome, Brother Yun. I didn't expect you to be such a hidden master. It seems like we are destined to be apart after school starts." When the bell rang, Jiang Zhe turned around and sat down facing Shan Yun.
The classmates in the class all looked at him with envy. Many of them praised Shan Yun from the bottom of their hearts, which made Shan Yun feel very happy. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, I just performed normally."
This score is slightly lower than his previous results, but it is a good start for Shan Yun who has not taken any exams for more than half a year.
The grade rankings would not be announced until the afternoon, and Shan Yun still felt a little uneasy when he thought about the bet.
However, before the afternoon, when school was about to end at noon, Jiang Zhe secretly sent Shan Yun the ranking that his classmates had secretly photographed, and it was the ranking of the entire grade.
Shan Yun clicked on it nervously, and looked at the names one by one carefully starting from the first one, until he saw his own name first. The stone in his heart was finally put down.
Jiang Zhe sent another message: Brother Yun, you are ranked 133rd in your grade, and Zou Weichen is ranked 137th. The difference between your total scores is 3 points, so you win.
