"I... I..."
Xu Muyan couldn't bear to see Chu Bai bragging and wanted to retaliate against him.
But then again she didn't want to agree to Chu Bai's bet.
After all, the bet wasn't something that could be taken lightly.
"Don't you dare to bet with me?" Chu Bai asked.
"She dares. My daughter Yan Yan agrees!" Father Xu intervened.
"It's getting late. Yan Yan must go to sleep. Young man, you must work hard."
"Well, Goodbye Uncle Xu, Xu Muyan."
The call was then hung up.
"Dad, what did you do? Why did you say I agreed to the bet?" Xu Muyan was gloomy.
"Seeing you not answering for such a long time, I answered it for you." Father Xu replied.
"If I lose, I... I'll be someone's girlfriend. Are you really my own father?" Xu Muyan looked at him with contempt.
"Then do you really think that you'd lose?" Father Xu asked.
Xu Muyan began to contemplate about it and then insisted.
"I will never lose!"
In order to rank up from the bottom to the middle in such a short period of time wasn't that difficult as long as one studies hard. However, it was impossible for one to raise their ranks to the top ten from middle or bottom ranks!
As one of the bookworms, this is something Xu Muyan was so sure of.
"Alright then." Father Xu smiled.
The reason he had made that move just now was that he had recalled using a similar move when he was pursuing Xu Muyan's mother during his student days.
Father Xu had seen his own younger reflection in Chu Bai.
In addition to that Father Xu had been admiring Chu Bai, and felt that Chu Bai's character wasn't half bad.
So he had agreed on behalf of Xu Muyan.
Anyway, now that his daughter told him that it was unlikely for Chu Bai to win the bet unless, by some miracle, if Chu Bai could still make it to the top ten ranks of the class, it would prove that Chu Bai was the soul mate for his daughter.
If he could really put much effort in raising his ranks to the top ten of the class in order to pursue his daughter, he was worthy enough to become his daughter's boyfriend.
Father Xu seemed to be very open-minded regarding his daughter's choice of partner.
"You can continue watching your TV. I'm going to sleep, hmph."
As Xu Muyan still felt a bit gloomy about what had happened, she pulled a face at her father and returned back to her room.
After returning back to her room, Xu Muyan tossed and turned but couldn't sleep. So she took out her phone and found Wen Jing's number in her contacts.
She planned to vent her frustration to Wen Jing.
After Xu Muyan dialed the number, she waited for a while for it to ring when Wen Jing picked it up.
"Jing Jing, I didn't disturb your sleep, did I?" Xu Muyan asked.
"I... I'm still awake. This... Why are you calling me at this hour? What's the matter?" Wen Jing was stammering.
"What are you doing? Why does your voice sound a little strange?"
"I'm... eating spicy sticks. Ah, it's just too... spicy."
"Haha, you're eating spicy sticks this late. I really envy you."
"I didn't eat enough at night. When I got home alone, I was hungry. I only had spicy sticks here."
"Jing Jing, I have something to tell you. It made me speechless, you know. My dad today was acting strange. He actually..." After Xu Muyan started a casual conversation with Wen Jing for a few minutes, she began to pour out her grievances.

"Chu Bai made a bet to Xu Muyan that if he could get into the top ten ranks in the joint exam, Xu Muyan must be his girlfriend?"
Wang Haoran, who was next to Wen Jing, was taken aback hearing Xu Muyan's scorn.
The college entrance examination would be around the corner when the bottom ranker protagonist makes a bet with the bookworm campus belle, and then his results would amaze the world with a single brilliant feat, and gradually the bookworm campus belle would become his girlfriend ever since.
Wang Haoran couldn't be more familiar with this melodrama routine.
Ignoring the fact that Chu Bai was now a bottom ranker, he had the X-ray vision ability with which he could see through things. If he could manage to copy in the examination room from top-scoring students, his results would definitely not be bad.
For Chu Bai to rank into the top ten of the class was just a simple matter.
Xu Muyan would lose the bet for sure!
Wang Haoran was glad that he didn't let Wen Jing go back today and accidentally got this important piece of information from Wen Jing.
As there were still a couple more days for the joint examination, he had ample time to make preparations to foil Chu Bai's plan.
Wasn't Chu Bai cheating using his X-ray Vision ability?
But what if he couldn't cheat? Could he still make it into the top ten ranks?
A while later, Wen Jing ended the call with Xu Muyan.
After Wang Haoran was done with his work, he opened the attribute panel and took a look at it.
[Villain points: 1400]
Though he purchased Master-Level Singing Spring Fist just the previous night, he had piled up so many villain points tonight.
He gained these villain points quite fast.
Should he proceed with purchasing Artist skills or Youth Preserving Pellets? Or should he just draw the lottery?
Wang Haoran pondered for a while and then chose to draw the lottery.
As he was still young, he wasn't in a hurry to purchase a Youth Preserving Pellet and wasn't in need of good artist skills, for the time being. So, he chose to try out his luck!
After consuming 500 villain points, the lottery results came out.
[Sadly, the Host wasn't able to draw any rewards. Does the Host proceed to consume 500 villain points to draw the lottery once again?]
"Draw it again!" Wang Haoran thought for a while, then proceeded to command the system.
[Ding! Congratulations Host for being lucky enough to draw the 'God-Level Singing Skill' worth 1500 villain points. Does the Host wish to blend with it now?]
Thankfully, his luck wasn't that bad.
Wang Haoran felt somewhat relieved and then replied to the system, "Blend it now."
Wang Haoran was very satisfied with this 'God-Level Singing Skill'.
He had a handsome appearance, to begin with, and with his skill, if he wanted, he could step into the entertainment industry as a celebrity, and could even become a top-class celebrity.
But what Wang Haoran considered the most was not whether he could become a celebrity but to charm the heroines with the skill.
Girls would be quite attracted to boys who could sing well.
With the now 'God-Level Singing skill', coupled with him being the top handsome student and from a wealthy family, not many girls could resist him.
Wang Haoran couldn't wait to reveal his singing skill before Song Zhenyu and Xu Muyan.
"Should I call them in person and personally sing a song to them?" This idea popped up in Wang Haoran's head, but he quickly dismissed it.
It was too late now. If he called them at this hour, it would seem like he was harassing them.
The one thing he could do was to wait until he could have the chance to reveal it.

The next day.
Chu Bai woke up from bed just after dawn.
He was the first student to arrive at the classroom.
There was still some time before the morning class could begin, so Chu Bai took his seat and immersed himself into reading.
Chu Bai would obviously crack the joint exam, but before that, he had to of course pose as if he was studying hard.
The morning studying time.
The students in the class were studying English, while some were studying ancient poetry and others literature.
Chu Bai took the textbook into his hand and started to read the ancient poetry aloud.
In the morning studying time, it was not quite appropriate for him to do that.
Not long after, students seated close to Chu Bai could no longer bear it.
"Chu Bai, can you please lower your voice down? Are you trying to make my ears go deaf?"
"Right, You're so loud. If others who don't know you're reading would think that there's a dog barking here."
"You're reading too loud. Can you please keep your voice down? It's disturbing others."
"Ah, my ears."
...
The neighboring students began to complain to Chu Bai.
"It feels good to read it aloud. It's none of your business!" Chu Bai shot back.
"Hmph, his grades are quite poor, but he still doesn't admit his mistake."
"That's right, bottom rankers just love to make trouble everywhere."
...
"Don't look down on me. Soon after the joint examination, you'd know who's really a bottom ranker. You're just a bunch of trash. You're just waiting to get slapped in the face by my report card!" Chu Bai shot back again.
Among those that complained to him, there was no one in particular with top grades, so Chu Bai didn't put them in his eyes.
Chu Bai had already made up his mind to make their faces swell by slapping his report card of the joint examination when it come out!
