Chapter 171: Whoever Breaks the Promise Is Instant Noodles
Seeing Lin Tian hesitate, Li Qiang couldn’t help but gloat, "Scared? If you’re scared, don’t talk about betting!"
"I’m scared?" Lin Tian found it amusing. He was just pondering the issue of seniority and was thought to be scared by Li Qiang?
This guy sure has an inflated sense of superiority.
"Isn’t it so?"
Li Qiang retorted, a smug smile playing on his lips.
"On the day the exam results are out, give me a call, and we’ll do as you said!" Lin Tian quickly recited his phone number to Li Qiang.
With a winning mindset, Li Qiang swiftly memorized Lin Tian’s phone number, eagerly anticipating the day when the exam results would be released.
Arrogant, huh? Just let Lin Tian be arrogant for now.
There will be a day when you’ll call me ’daddy’!!!
"Wait for my call. Hope you get into a good college!" Li Qiang left a parting shot and walked away briskly, unwilling to waste time on someone like Lin Tian, who he deemed a social failure.
Watching Li Qiang’s departing figure, Lin Tian shook his head helplessly. If Li Qiang faced even a slight setback in the exams, he’d likely crumble.
Because in his world, he always believed himself to be stronger, better, and superior to others.
Once that sense of superiority is shattered, he’ll be left completely defeated.
"Guess who I am!"
Suddenly, as Lin Tian was lost in thought, he felt darkness as two warm hands covered his eyes, and a playful voice came from behind.
No need to guess; Lin Tian already knew who it was.
Who else but Liou Qingcheng?
Although he knew, Lin Tian wanted to tease Liou Qingcheng, playing dumb and said, "I guess you must be an ugly monster!"
"Wow!"
A cry of surprise, followed by an indignant voice: "You’re the ugly monster!"
The small hands covering his eyes were removed, and Lin Tian immediately felt a bright light. Turning his head, he saw Liou Qingcheng pouting, clearly displeased.
"Oh my, are you angry?"
Seeing this, Lin Tian said with a smile, "Just joking with you, no need to be upset!"
"Hmph, where am I ugly? Tell me where I’m ugly!" Liou Qingcheng found the joke not funny at all and was instead quite angry.
She didn’t know why, but she cared a lot about Lin Tian’s opinion of her. Hearing the word "ugly," she wondered if Lin Tian really thought she was unattractive.
This is why she was so upset.
After all, what woman doesn’t want to be called beautiful?
"You’re not ugly at all. Our Qingcheng is a beauty, a great beauty. True to her name, a peerlessly beautiful woman!" Lin Tian sweet-talked.
No one is better than Lin Tian at flattery!
"That’s more like it!"
Women really do respond to flattery, and Liou Qingcheng’s pout returned to normal.
With Liou Qingcheng cheered up, Lin Tian asked about important matters: "Where’s my exam admission ticket?"
"Wow, you call me an ugly monster just when we meet, then you want your exam ticket? Can’t you say something else?" Liou Qingcheng said in discontent.
"..."
Lin Tian was exasperated, beads of sweat dripping down his temples.
The saying that women are unpredictable as needles in the ocean is utterly true.
A wise insight passed down from older generations, born from their fiery trials, couldn’t be more accurate.
Elusive, hard to predict, a small misstep could lead to disaster.
"Qingcheng, are you on your period today? You seem a bit off." Lin Tian remarked casually.
The once easygoing Liou Qingcheng seemed different today.
"You guessed right!"
Liou Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Lin Tian and said irritably, "Don’t provoke me!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
There’s an old saying about not provoking women on their periods...
"Here, your exam ticket." Liou Qingcheng took Lin Tian’s exam ticket out from her backpack and handed it to him.
"Are you confident you’ll get into Kanyue City Music Academy this time?" Lin Tian asked as he took the ticket.
To be honest, Lin Tian really hoped to attend the same university as Liou Qingcheng, but because of the promise he held onto for a year...
This hope might just be a fantasy.
"I am, but it still depends on the exam results!" Liou Qingcheng smiled slightly. "What about you? Confident you can get into Kanyue City Medical University?"
"Absolutely confident!"
As for Kanyue City Medical University, Lin Tian was completely assured.
No matter how difficult the exam questions might be, they were not a problem for him now.
"Let’s both give it our all tomorrow, and strive to get into our dream universities!"
Liou Qingcheng paused and then continued, "But let’s make a deal, after the exams are over in two days, you have to treat me to dinner!"
Lin Tian nodded, "Sure!"
Liou Qingcheng extended her right pinky finger. Lin Tian, puzzled, asked, "What’s this?"
Liou Qingcheng hooked her pinky, "Pinky promise, hang on tight, no changing for a hundred years; whoever breaks it is a noodle!"
Hearing this, Lin Tian smiled slightly and extended his right pinky finger, the two of them hooking their pinkies, feeling each other’s warmth.
With their pinkies linked, they looked into each other’s eyes, smiling. "Pinky promise, hang on tight, no lying for a hundred years; whoever breaks it is a noodle!"
As the words faded, their pinkies remained linked, as if reluctant to let go.
"Hey, let go!"
Just as Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng were immersed in their ambiguous feelings, a discordant voice interrupted them.
Looking towards the source of the voice, they saw a burly man walking briskly toward them.
This guy was the same height as Lin Tian but weighed as much as two Lin Tians.
"This guy looks familiar, seems like..." Lin Tian thought, watching the person approach.
"Oh... I remember now, isn’t this the guy who likes you, Bear... Bear... Big Bear!"
Lin Tian finally remembered who it was but couldn’t recall the name, only the nickname.
As Xiong Tianlei, muscular and strong, approached Lin Tian aggressively, Liou Qingcheng immediately stood in front of Lin Tian, "Xiong Tianlei, what do you want?"
"I warned you before to keep away from Liou Qingcheng, did you take my words as a fart?" Xiong Tianlei glared at Lin Tian, seething with anger.
The veins at his temples bulged. Truly, he’s a hot-blooded athlete!
Xiong Tianlei had stopped viewing Lin Tian as a rival for affection, believing a student expelled from school had no right to pursue Liou Qingcheng.
Thus, Xiong Tianlei didn’t consider Lin Tian a threat, confident he wouldn’t become a rival.
But unexpectedly, just as he left the exam site, Xiong Tianlei witnessed a scene that made his blood boil, his brain explode.
Lin Tian was holding hands with Liou Qingcheng, and they were gazing into each other’s eyes.
This scene filled Xiong Tianlei with rage, his mindset shattered!
He had to confront Lin Tian...
