Why should I make a bet with you?
"So you're scared and don't dare to bet with me, Xinghe. It's not too late for you to admit defeat now!"
"I never intended to compare myself to you."
"Then why did you make a bet with Fu Heng? That guy is an annoying fellow too."
"Didn't you say yourself that he's annoying?"
"Haha, Xinghe, you can be so cute sometimes, how about it? Want to make a bet with me?"
"What are we betting on?"
"If I win, you'll agree to go out with me for a day."
"Don't worry, it's just normal fun. We'll go shopping or something. It just so happens that I need someone to carry my bag."
"What if I win?"
"Xinghe, if you win, it's up to you. Even if you want me, that's fine too." Chu Yundie suddenly leaned close to Wang Xinghe and whispered, the two of them looking extremely ambiguous.
Wang Xinghe frowned, took a step back, and his face turned slightly red.
"Chu Yundie, you are a girl!"
"Hehehe, I'm dying of laughter! Xinghe, you're so cute! You're so handsome, yet you're such an innocent boy. I doubt you've ever even held a girl's hand." Chu Yundie burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
Passing classmates cast envious glances at Chu Yundie and Wang Xinghe walking side by side.
Some envied Chu Yundie, but most envied Wang Xinghe.
"If I win, tell me your relationship with Wu Luoxi."
Upon hearing Wang Xinghe's request, Chu Yundie immediately stopped smiling and asked incredulously, "You won, but you need to know the relationship between me and Wu Luoxi?"
"Yes, is that alright?"
"I didn't expect you to care about her so much."
“I consider her a friend, and she has helped me a lot, but I don’t know what’s wrong with her these past few days.”
Perhaps because he lacked playmates of the same age from a young age and basically had no friends, Wang Xinghe wanted to cherish these hard-won friendships even more.
Therefore, seeing Wu Luoxi's current attitude towards him, Wang Xinghe was still a little anxious and wanted to understand the situation.
"Ha! Okay, okay, I promise you, we'll talk after you beat me."
Chu Yundie sneered, quickened her pace, and distanced herself from Wang Xinghe before heading back to class alone.
"What's going on? They all change their attitude at the drop of a hat. Mengmeng is much better." Wang Xinghe muttered to himself as he returned to his classroom.
As soon as he returned to class, Rong Xu approached Wang Xinghe again, but this time Rong Xu looked worried.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Xinghe, I'm anxious."
"What are you anxious about?"
"I have a district-wide joint exam tomorrow, and I'm so anxious, what should I do?"
“I didn’t see you anxious last time either. Relax and just give it your all.”
"Stop talking. I never really put in any effort for exams before, so it didn't matter. But this time, I've been working hard for a while. What if I still don't improve?"
That's just how people are; if they don't put in the effort, they're more likely to accept a bad outcome.
However, if you've tried your best but still haven't made any progress, then you'll start to doubt yourself.
"Don't worry, as long as you adjust your mindset, you will definitely improve. Trust me."
"Yes, Xinghe, I believe in you. I will definitely do well on the exam. I want to go to Kyoto University. I want to go to the same school as my girlfriend!"
"You value romance over friendship, do you have any conscience?"
"Hehe, Xinghe, and you too. I haven't even mentioned myself yet."
Wang Xinghe rarely makes jokes, and Rong Xu immediately responds.
"Alright, it's okay if you didn't do well this time. Just follow the plan I've set for you. As long as your physical education score is high enough, you can leave your academic scores to me."
"Xinghe, you are truly my benefactor for life. Thank God, thank you for sending a savior at this critical moment!"
"Alright, alright, go back to your studies. It would be good to look at a couple more questions."
Rong Xu is not stupid; on the contrary, he is particularly smart. He just likes to play around. If he studies hard now, he might actually be able to get into Kyoto University.
When I got home that evening, Li Lian called.
After that incident, Wang Xinghe called Li Lian when he got home that night and apologized to her.
Now, the relationship between the mother and son is getting warmer, and Wang Xinghe tells Li Lian many things.
"Xinghe, you have the district joint exam tomorrow, right?"
"Mom, yes."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I hope you can enjoy every day. You seem too tired right now. Actually, I didn't want you to attend that math tutoring class."
"Mom, I really enjoy learning math olympiad, and I want to apply to the math department at Kyoto University."
"If you really like it, then do it. I will support you no matter what, good or bad."
Wang Xinghe felt a warm glow in his heart as he listened to Li Lian's words. In the past, Wang Xinghe would have thought that Li Lian was being hypocritical.
However, Wang Xinghe now only feels that this is his mother caring about him.
"Yes, Mom, thank you."
“Silly child, why thank me? Your Uncle Su and I have discussed it, and we will go back before the college entrance examination.” Li Lian’s voice was choked with emotion as she spoke to Wang Xinghe.
"Mom, you and Uncle Li have a good time outside, don't worry about me."
Li Lian and Su Zhengshan originally planned to travel for at least six months. Su Muqing was managing the family business, so Su Zhengshan was very relieved.
However, Li Lian recently discussed it with Su Zhengshan and said that Wang Xinghe was going to take the college entrance examination and she wanted to come back to accompany him.
Su Zhengshan readily agreed, adding that he could take Wang Xinghe on a trip after the college entrance examination.
Of course, Li Lian hasn't told Wang Xinghe about this idea yet, but even if she did, Wang Xinghe wouldn't go.
"Your Uncle Li and I have discussed it. The college entrance examination will mark the end of the first stage of your life. I haven't spent much time with you since you were little, Xinghe. I feel like I owe you so much." Li Lian said, her voice trembling with tears.
"Mom, we still have a future, don't we?" Wang Xinghe quickly comforted her.
It took a while of comforting her to finally calm Li Lian down.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xinghe made another call to Director Chen of the welfare home.
The scholarship he received last time was finally deposited into his account today, and he wants to transfer the money to Dean Chen.
"Dean Chen."
"Xinghe, how are you settling in over there lately?" Dean Chen asked excitedly upon hearing Wang Xinghe's voice.
"Dean Chen, I'm doing well here. They're all very kind to me."
"Okay, that's good. Do you miss home?"
"I've thought about it, Director Chen, I miss the orphanage."
"Then come back and visit after you finish your college entrance exam. The orphanage will always be your home."
"Dean Chen, I'll transfer 10,000 yuan to you later. Take this money and use it to improve the children's meals."
