<h4>Chapter 48: They’re Indeed From ss One, For They Run Even If It’s to Court Death</h4>


    The two walked back to where Qin Fang and the rest were.


    “Lu Yang, why didn’t you go home after the exam?” Lu Chengzhou rested a casual arm on Lu Yang’s shoulders. He was taller than Lu Yang by a head and walked to the esctor with his arm wrapped around him.


    Gu Mang walked behind them.


    Lu Yang was a little afraid of Lu Chengzhou, for even his own father regarded thetter with importance.


    He said obediently, “I was apanying Gu Mang out to buy stuff?”


    Lu Chengzhou smirked wickedly. Suddenly, he leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said gravely, “Maintain a distance from Gu Mang in the future.”


    “Why?” Lu Yang asked stupidly.


    Lu Chengzhou stared at him with his ck eyes. “What? You’re going to disobey me?” he asked in a cold tone.


    Lu Yang was so afraid that the pore on his back exploded open. Stammering, he said, “But Gu Mang and I are deskmates.”


    Lu Chengzhou frowned and suddenly scrutinized Lu Yang from head to toe, disdain gradually building in his gaze.


    Lu Yang trembled in fear and his scalp was about to go numb from being stared at.


    However, Lu Chengzhou took back his words. “Okay, pretend I didn’t say anything then.”


    Lu Chengzhou moved his arm away from Li Yang’s shoulders and slid his hand back into his pocket.


    The expression on Lu Yang’s face wasplicated. Why did Third Brother look like he was looking at a piece of trash earlier?


    ...


    Lu Chengzhou watched Gu Mang and Lu Yang get on the bus with narrowed eyes.


    He took a drink of the milk tea he just bought. It was really sweet. He looked down at the milk tea in his hand and smirked absentmindedly.


    Qin Fang and He Yidu exchanged nces at the same time a mixture of astonishment andplex emotions in their gazes.


    ...


    Back at the school.


    Gu Mang ced the milk tea with 30 percent sugar and a slice of the strawberry-vored thousandyer cake on Meng Jinyang’s table.


    Shen Huan said, “Jinyang went to the restroom.”


    Gu Mang nodded.


    Upon returning to her seat, Fatty turned around to talk to Lu Yang.


    The girl sat with her legs wide open as though she was a big shot.


    Upon seeing that she had returned, Lu Yang said in a low, angry voice, “Sister Mang, Fatty says that the exam papers are being marked tonight. The Student Union members are even helping them and it’s rumored that the results will be out tomorrow morning!”


    Given the normal marking speed, the results shoulde out on either Thursday or Friday. That old witch was really ruthless to not even let ss Twenty have a day of peace! They were doomed. They were going to be shamed thoroughly this time!


    He thought about how ss Twenty’s usual score average was in the unremarkable 200s, while ss One’s usual score average was in the astronomical 600s. Ultimately, he was the one who had caused everything to happen.


    Gu Mang was reading her English textbook and hummed an “mm” absentmindedly.


    Lu Yang looked at her apathetic attitude and frowned in anxiety. “Sister Mang! Did you not hear what I said? Tomorrow! The results will be out tomorrow!”


    “I heard it,” said Gu Si in an indifferent tone. Looking up, she smirked wickedly and said, “ss One students are indeed ss One students for they’ll run, even if it’s to court their deaths.”


    The corner of Lu Yang’s lips twitched. “Sister Mang, did you mix up your words?”


    Fatty also stared at Gu Mang with an air of sadness. “Sister Mang, I’m already starting to feel like I can’t lift my head up out of shame.”


    Gu Mang smirked, her pretty face looking both arrogant and wild.


    She cupped her chinnguidly and grabbed her cup to drink milk tea with the other casually.


    Her phoenix eyes were so wicked they seemed to prate into their bones.


    A bold thought crashed into Lu Yang’s mind. What if she wasn’t a failed student, but a genius one?!
