Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard. Huo Ye's protective manner was so manly, and everyone looked at Xun Ting with envy and jealousy.
Seeing that the contestant did not react, Gu Zhu did not intend to stay any longer and made a move to prepare a compensation form.
The contestant from Class One gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, "I...I...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bumped into someone on purpose. I admit I deserve second place, not first."
Anything related to Master Huo, even just a minor scratch, would cost an astronomical sum, something she couldn't afford to pay.
"Student XXX from Class 1 has been disqualified for intentionally bumping into a classmate, violating the rule of 'friendship first, competition second.'" The referee announced impatiently.
The group was indignant and somewhat resentful, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they were the ones who could have gotten second place, but because of the collision, they lost their ranking altogether.
Upon hearing this decision, the students of Class 10 hugged each other happily, while only Shen Miao looked embarrassed.
She could hardly believe it. Xun Ting had actually gotten first place? Wouldn't she have to say something so shameful in front of the whole school?
The boy enthusiastically handed over a microphone: "Class monitor, I borrowed a microphone for you. It's connected to the playground loudspeaker, so the whole school can hear it. You're welcome."
"..." Shen Miao's face showed a hint of humiliation. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms. A deep-seated resentment filled her heart.
She glanced at Xun Mengmeng subconsciously and immediately lost her goodwill. If Xun Mengmeng hadn't said that Xun Ting was bad at running, how could she have been so confident in making such an embarrassing bet?
"Class monitor, you're not trying to renege on your promise, are you?" The boy frowned when she didn't answer for a long time.
Shen Miao snatched the microphone, glared at the boy, and said, "Mind your own business!"
Her face flushed red with humiliation: "Listen, Father, I was wrong."
The sound came clearly from the loudspeaker, echoing in the ears of everyone on the playground.
"Pfft..." Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"A child who can admit their mistakes and correct them is a good child." Xun Ting replied to her with a microphone that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and their back-and-forth conversation was clearly heard by everyone.
Shen Miao glared at her fiercely, threw down the microphone, and ran back to the classroom.
...
...
She felt it was a bit unrealistic to follow the villain out of the school gate, but today the villain actually spoke up for her? She was instantly confused and couldn't understand the villain anymore.
Huo Lin didn't get the ecstatic look she was expecting. Instead, he looked half-dead, his brows furrowed, and his deep eyes stared at her for a long time.
"Aren't you moved?"
"No, no, no, of course I'm touched! Mr. Huo, you look so handsome today! I feel my heart is falling deeper and deeper, and your place in my heart is rising higher and higher!"
Xun Ting suddenly came to her senses and recalled the villain's words, "Don't even mention a scratch, not even a red mark is acceptable," which made her extremely excited.
Even though it wasn't from the heart, it was still easy to flirt with!
"Mmm." Huo Lin listened to the excited voice beside him, which was sweet and soft and very pleasant to hear. The phrase "suitable for panting" immediately popped into his mind.
"I hear this is all your luggage in your dorm room. Is there anything else you need to move?" Assistant Gu was sweating profusely as he pushed a suitcase over.
Xun Ting: "..." Isn't this too damn fast? He didn't give her any chance to refute.
She's a coward. Could the villain really be a vampire? If she moves into the villa, will she even survive? She'll die whether she stays or not.
With that thought in mind, she stared at the man with a death-defying resolve, deliberately lowering her voice, "Mr. Huo, you...you wouldn't happen to be a vampire, would you?"
