Chapter 13

Su Yang did not reveal any expression as he said, “What is it about?”
Qu Xiaomeng smiled, complimenting her doll-like face.
“The first thing is that I want to thank you for saving me the other day…even though the method is a little questionable,” she said with a little pause in the middle.
1Su Yang nodded, but he did not want to elaborate on his methods.
Qu Xiaomeng cleared her throat and showed a solemn expression. However, no matter how serious she looked, her doll-like face did not complement the solemnity. Instead, it made her look a little dumb and cute.
“The second thing is, I went over your results on this subject and found out that it’s very dangerous for you, my dear student.” Without waiting for Su Yang to respond, she added, “Are you aware that you got full marks for attendance and behavior for English last semester?”
1Su Yang was surprised by the revelation, so he shook his head because he was really clueless. After all, the marks were usually not revealed to the students.
She opened her mouth but failed to utter a single word for a while. Ultimately, she was able to force a sentence out of her throat. “T-then, what about your English result?”
Su Yang answered calmly, “I’ll pass the test with my own effort.”
Qu Xiaomeng could not argue with him. Ever since he had revealed his life to her, her mind blanked out and felt sluggish. She replied meekly, “O-okay.”
1However, after she said that, a beep sounded in Su Yang’s mind.
[Triggered Bronze Mission: Acquire more than a passing mark in English during your semester-end test.]
11‘What. In. The. Hell!?’
1Su Yang was losing his mind. He was actually trying to bluff her, but the system was taking his words for real!?
7Indeed, he was actually bluffing. While he might need money, he never believed in giving up his pride or bending over for the sake of money.
There were animals which skin was valuable such as a fox and there were those which meat was valuable such as a cow. There were also animals whose spine was worth the most like a human being’s!
3At least, up until this point, Su Yang believed that nothing or no one in this world could buy his pride!
2Albeit being poor, he believed that money was not everything.
The reason he made himself sound so pitiful was that he wanted the dorky girl to sympathize with him. He also said that he would pass the English test with his own effort because he wanted to build a positive image of an independent student.
First of all, he wanted to change his image in front of Qu Xiaomeng, and secondly, if he really failed this semester test, she might pity him and let him pass instead.
When he came up with this idea, Su Yang loved it so much that he almost gave himself a big thumbs-up and praised himself for his quick wits.
1In the end, he managed to bluff Qu Xiaomeng, but he did not expect to trick the system too. As a result, a mission was triggered.
‘Oh my God!’
