The teacher glanced at the crowd before returning her gaze to Su Jin. “The exam’s about to start, Ms. Su Jin. If you continue making a fuss, I believe you’ll become a slacker for real,” the teacher paused, excitement filling her eyes. “I heard you made a bet with the principal and the other teachers about getting top three in this month’s exam?”

Su Jin nodded.

Without irony or sneering, the teacher patted her shoulders and exclaimed, “Ambitious. I love it, and I believe in you. From now on, work very hard. If you need anything, you can look for me in my office. I’m more than happy to help.”

Then, she made a cheer-up hand gesture.

Su Jin had thought she’d be humiliated in front of her peers or kicked out of the class. The last thing she’d expected was encouragement. “Thank you. I won’t let you down.”

The class was unhappy about their teacher’s reaction, and it caused an uproar.

“Are you insane or blind, teacher?”

“Yeah. She’s a dead loss and has always gotten zero for everything. She’s always the last student in our school.”

“Maybe the teacher’s just being kind, and she didn’t want to run her down. It’s understandable.”

“But that trash’s so thick-skinned that she doesn’t know her place.”

“Yeah, right. Trash itself trash-talking about getting top three?”

“Empty talks aren’t illegal. Don’t be shy. Go on!”

“There has to be a limit to that. If this garbage can make it to the top three, I’ll eat my own sh*t.”

Su Jin scoffed to herself at the mockeries. Eyes threatening, her gaze swept across the people around her.

Cold sweat broke out all over everyone’s body because they thought the mute girl was about to go frenzy.

“No one in this room has the right to mock Ms. Su Jin,” the teacher defended. “Her bet with the principal goes like this: if she doesn’t get into top three, she’ll drop out of school immediately and kneel before the whole school for a formal apology. Does anyone here have the same matching courage as her? Or this kind of confidence? Look at yourselves before pointing your fingers at someone else.”

The students were shocked.

“What? Is she mad?”

“Isn’t it embarrassing enough in the forum? She needs a grand exit with even more humiliation, eh?”

“Pfft. Bet or no bet, I stand my ground. If she gets into top three, I’ll eat my own sh*t!”

Su Jin’s eyes darted to Zhang De, who was drooping in his chair. “Did you say that? It’s disgusting and bad for the school’s reputation. How about another bet?”

Zhang De was one of the rich kids from one of the most influential families. And he was spoilt, of course, without any ability to take care of himself. He couldn’t tell evil from good apart, and he didn’t understand any social norms. He was opinionated.

And so was each of his friends.

In school, if Yu Haiyang were the first school bully, the second in place would be this idiot for sure.

And all of his so-called friends were only using him as a puppet to do their dirty jobs. They’d persuade him that all stupid ideas were for the greater good. And Zhang de didn’t second guess those actions, believing they were for justice until something serious happened after that.

Zhang De was executed by shooting in the past. Only in his last moments did he understand his friends killed him. At that time, he was already a famous movie actor, and his death shook the people.. He could’ve had a better future, but his trusting blindly of his friends and their flattering words pushed him to the edge of the cliff.
