Chapter 421 -420: Big Shot Wants to Boost?

The students in class all turned their heads for a glance.

Centered around Lu Mian, the flamboyant and brash aura she emitted continued to radiate outward.

Zhang Yanyan, sitting closest to her, shivered.

Not knowing whether to sit or stand, he turned his head to meet her mischievous and dangerous gaze, swallowing hard.

Just now when the teacher had called on him, had it not been for Lu Mian’s reminder about which formula to apply, he might still be the subject of ridicule.

He found it amazing that his deskmate, who seemingly hadn’t been paying attention to the lesson, was still able to answer the teacher’s question and had casually mastered the subject matter.

Was this how she achieved such excellent grades?

However, her blocking his way and not letting him sit down was somewhat embarrassing for the time being.

“Lu, Lu Mian?” Zhang Yanyan asked in a soft voice, slightly bending forward.

Lu Mian thought her deskmate was too good-natured, capable or not, what was there to laugh at?

A bunch of people throwing veiled insults at someone earnest and hardworking—did that make them feel superior?

Lu Mian continued spinning the ballpoint pen in her hand while gently propping up her temple with the other.

Her eyelashes fluttered lightly as she asked in a calm and leisurely manner, “Zhang Yanyan, what rank do you wish to achieve?”

Her tone was as casual as if they were chatting after class.

The students in class looked at them with inexplicable expressions.

Bi Jun also set down his textbooks, ready to step down from the lectern at any moment.

Zhang Yanyan was caught off guard by her abrupt question, his mouth hanging open silently.

“Just say it, no one dares to laugh at you.”

The tone of her voice remained gentle, yet to everyone listening, it carried a strong and compelling threat.

Some people have that ability to control a room in tranquil silence, leaving no one daring to interrupt.

Students who had just mocked Zhang Yanyan shivered unexpectedly, hugging themselves in a guilty conscience.

They saw three oversized and bolded words written on Lu Mian at this moment: “Do not provoke.”

Xiu Qian in the front row, even without turning around, could see her faint silhouette reflected in the glass.

He cocked his head, staring at the reflection lost in thought.

He hadn’t missed the moment when Lu Mian hinted at Zhang Yanyan—it was precisely because he had seen it that he was so baffled.

What exactly was the make-up of her brain?

Multitasking?

Zhang Yanyan, staring at Lu Mian’s resolute gaze, took a deep breath as if gaining confidence from her, his spirit bolstered.

“I want…

I would like to rank within the top ten.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but given the quietness of the class, everyone could hear him.

Qu Weiwei in the front row suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter.

She had originally been assigned to sit with Zhang Yanyan and had been very dissatisfied, believing that as a student ranked within the top twenty-five, she shouldn’t be paired with the last-ranked student.

Her disdain for Zhang Yanyan was palpable.

It was only after Lu Mian and Xiu Qian had a disagreement and forcibly switched seats that she got her wish to sit beside Xiu Qian, and as a result, Zhang Yanyan ended up sitting behind with Lu Mian.

While laughing, she said, “All of us ranked in the top twenty-five wouldn’t dare claim we are aiming for the top ten.

You’re ranked fiftieth and you have the audacity to aim so high?

Are all Kunpeng High School students this arrogant?”

The others also shook their heads, holding back laughter.

“To be fair, it’s good to have goals, but if they’re too lofty to be achieved, it’s just delusional!”

“If you think you can make it into the top ten, then where exactly do you place the students ahead of you?

I reckon the odds of the whole class making the top ten are not very high!”

Lu Mian wasn’t always the first from the bottom, but having been there, she understood the situation all too well.

She didn’t care about the disparaging remarks; it was just that such words could leave deep scars on someone lacking confidence, perhaps even preventing them from moving forward for a long time.

He was here to learn, not to gauge the moods of so many others.

Good or bad, it was nobody else’s place to judge and gossip.

Lu Mian twirled her ballpoint pen in another elegant arc, her lips curving lazily but unsatisfied with Zhang Yanyan’s answer.

“No, pick another one.”

Zhang Yanyan was taken aback, and Lu Mian wondered, was she really not good enough?

“Then maybe the top twenty places…” He lowered his head even more.

But the significance of being in the top twenty was completely different from being in the top ten.

“Why do you keep setting your sights lower and lower?” Lu Mian grew even less satisfied, abruptly halted the pen in her hand, leaned back casually, resting against the chair, and with the pen lazily tapping the edge of the desk, she assertively suggested, “No, change it again!”

Now Zhang Yanyan understood, his eyes widened more than ever, making him look even more dumbfounded.

Was she despising his goal for being too small?!

But!

But!

He couldn’t do it; he truly couldn’t achieve it!

If he made such claims, he would undoubtedly be slapped in the face in the future, and these people would certainly mock him even more mercilessly!

He might even bring both Lu Mian and Kunpeng High School down with him.

But Lu Mian had already run out of patience to wait for his indecision, she nonchalantly tapped five times on the desk edge, “Do you like the idea of being in the top five?”

Top five?

Who among those ranked lower wouldn’t like it?!

But what nonsense was Lu Mian talking?

Could it be that she actually believed that with Zhang Yanyan’s abilities, he could make it into the top five?

Even if Einstein and Newton were resurrected and taught Zhang Yanyan personally, they couldn’t necessarily lift this bronze player!

The gap was too huge!

Even Bi Jun, who was on the podium, felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

With just these two weeks’ time, no matter how hard one worked, how many points could they really improve?

If one’s foundation was poor, they might not even keep up with the training during this period; not falling behind would already be good, how could they possibly achieve a top-five score?

From his perspective as a professional teacher, Zhang Yanyan had no chance whatsoever of breaking into the top five.

“Lu Mian, perhaps we should stop here,” he coaxed, his voice gentle and pleasant.

This guy was a boss, a promising prospect, and not someone he could offend.

Fang Xilan looked deeply at Lu Mian from the front, shaking her head.

Lu Mian was beyond saving this time.

Although Fang Xilan initially thought of Lu Mian as an ally, Lu Mian was too arrogant and had become the common enemy of the class.

She was just a nobody and certainly wouldn’t make enemies with so many people for Lu Mian’s sake.

In her silent acquiescence, she had already chosen her side.

Lu Mian finally tapped the desk once, stood up languidly, “Stop here?”

She laughed openly, “Teacher, are we just letting go of their earlier mockery of Zhang Yanyan?

Zhang Yanyan hasn’t offended them, yet just because he’s ranked fiftieth, does he deserve everyone’s disdain and rejection?”

Bi Jun touched his nose dryly.

Lu Mian’s gaze grew even more resolute, she patted Zhang Yanyan’s back, urging him to stand taller.

“Don’t worry, there’s definitely a place for you in the top five!”

Her words made everyone else’s heart tremble fiercely.

The one who initially scorned Xiu Qian for holding her back as the top scorer now wants to boost the one ranked fiftieth?

This was getting interesting!

They were waiting to see Lu Mian get her comeuppance!
