Chapter 142 - 142 The Bet
Although some people knew what was happening, they steered the discussion to protect the girl’s reputation.
“What do you think are the chances of success if one confesses their love to Qiao Yue?”
A girl’s question on the forum suddenly started a discussion.
“Confess? Hasn’t someone tried that before and was rejected?” A response appeared right below the girl’s question.
!!
“I agree with the person above. I remember a post about Qiao Yue rejecting someone’s confession!” Someone in the know commented.
…
The discussion was soon about the kind of girls Qiao Yue liked. Some said that Qiao Yue liked cute girls, while others said that he liked sexy ones. One by one, the replies piled up, and the thread grew to pages.
Until a comment said, “I don’t think I’ve seen Qiao Yue being close to anyone. Other than his brother, I’ve never seen him alone with anyone else.”
The discussion thread became weirder after this comment appeared. Some people even asked Qiao Yue was into boys.
Qiao Yue’s first period had just ended when she felt people staring at her secretly from all directions. But whenever she looked over, those people pretended to go about their lives again.
Qiao Yue wheeled herself up to Qiao Yu and said, “Brother, do you feel that our classmates are a little strange today?”
Qiao Yu said no without even looking up.
Qiao Yue looked at the notebook Qiao Yu was writing in and realized only after a long time that her brother was calculating his travel time in a game.
“Brother, are you possessed?” Qiao Yue asked in disbelief.
Qiao Yu raised his head when he heard this and replied in seriousness, “I quite like this game, and I’m planning to develop my skills in this area.”
“Esports?”
Qiao Yue was skeptical. Although the Qiao family didn’t set any rules about the futures of the younger generation, it was unrealistic to play online games for a living, coming from that kind of family.
Qiao Yu frowned as he asked, “You don’t believe me?”
Qiao Yue was silent momentarily before she replied, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just feel that it’s very difficult and it’s hard to explain to the family!”
“Don’t tell anyone. I want to wait until I get some results first.”
Looking at Qiao Yu’s serious eyes, Qiao Yue sighed, “I won’t tell anyone.”
At this moment, someone called out to Qiao Yue from the door.
“Qiao Yue, someone is looking for you.”
Qiao Yue turned her head curiously. Who would be looking for her?
“You’re looking for me?” Even Qiao Yue couldn’t help but feel surprised when she saw the person.
“Qiao Yue, our Brother Sun has a challenge for you. At the end of this term, whoever with the worse grades will leave Harvey.” One of Sun Bin’s lackey shouted.
Qiao Yue glanced at the boy indifferently and couldn’t be bothered with him. She turned her wheelchair around and was about to leave, but she was blocked by the boy.
“Hey! Are you scared, you little brat? If you are, then apologize to our Brother Sun and beg him to let you off.” The lackey shouted.
Qiao Yue’s lips curled up slightly, her eyes filled with ridicule. “Do you have nothing to do every day? We’re not in the same class anymore, so why are you still picking on me?”
The boy looked at Sun Bin subconsciously when he heard this.
Sun Bin’s expression was dark as he stared at Qiao Yue like a venomous snake.
Although Sun Bin also hated Qiao Yue, there was another reason for his persistence. Sun Bin’s classmates had been teasing him about the public rejection since his crush rejected him. The way these classmates looked at him made him so irritable that he wanted to pick fights all the time.
After so many days, he couldn’t take it anymore and went to find Qiao Yue. Between him and Qiao Yue, only one of them could stay in Harvey. He had seen the video of Qiao Yue fighting and felt that he was no match for Qiao Yue, so he thought about competing academically.
Qiao Yue had barely passed her exams the last time. Sun Bin had heard that Qiao Yue’s results had always been bad. He was willing to do anything as long as he could make Qiao Yue leave Harvey.
“Are you taking on the challenge or not?” Sun Bin’s voice was filled with malice.
“No,” Qiao Yue replied with a casual smile.
“You!” The lackey roared suddenly, but he was stuck because he didn’t know what to say.
