Chapter 21: Can You Help Tutor Me? 

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The content of those screenshots were the comments left below a post that was published by a girl who went by the moniker "Snow White" on the campus forum of Virtue High School. 

The content was generally about Xia Wei'an's arrogant and domineering attitude, and how she refused to apologize after hitting Xia Tianzhen before challenging the latter openly in class. It also included the bet that the two of them made. If Xia Tianzhen lost, she would have to take the initiative to withdraw from school, and if Xia Wei'an lost, she would have to bow and apologize to Xia Tianzhen in front of the entire school. 

"It was clearly an unfair bet that gave Xia Wei'an an absolute edge. Yet, Xia Wei'an chickened out after class hours and vanished."

The comments were all harsh and directed at Xia Wei'an. No one dared to provoke her in real life, but when they went online, they lashed out at her as if they had put on an armor. 

"Cute Rabbit: Xia Wei'an is really vicious. If she loses, she would only have to apologize to all the teachers and students, but if Tianzhen loses, she has to withdraw from school. Xia Wei'an is so despicable, she should be the one withdrawing!"

"Most Beautiful Woman In The Universe: Exactly, Tianzhen is too kind. Xia Wei'an is a scum, and she tarnished the reputation of Virtue High School. She should withdraw from school sooner. It's so embarrassing being in the same school as her!" 

"Lavender Love: However, if Xia Wei'an wants to surpass Xia Tianzhen, she can dream on, but given the way she is now, I doubt she can really surpass Xia Tianzhen because she doesn't do her homework at all."

"Clearwater Beauty: I want to see her eating poop in the live-stream +1"

"The Green Mountain Is So Charming: I want to see her eating poop in the live-stream +2"

...

The contents of the screenshots were very small, and after Xia Wei'an retreated, she immediately logged into the campus forum to see the comments that were all directing criticism at her. The people were all chiding her and waiting to see her make a fool out of herself. Occasionally, there would be a few who would put in a good word for her, but those comments would soon be drowned out by the haters. They even claimed that Xia Wei'an was the one who stood up for herself using another moniker. 

'Damn it, this scheming Xia Tianzhen actually resorted to such means to force me to take on that bet. The difference between the stakes is so high too. It has already created a kind and gentle image for her while I've become an evil sinner!'

Xia Wei'an took a deep breath and suppressed the infuriation she felt when she first saw those articles. She had to calm down in order not to let herself lose her rationality.

In fact, such a situation was good too. She originally wanted to beat Xia Tianzhen at her own forte and hurt her confidence. To her surprise, Xia Tianzhen made such a huge bet by asking to withdraw from school. 'I shall wait and see.' 

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that Xia Wei'an had suddenly become annoyed, Di Xingchen put down the fork in his hand and looked at her inquiringly.

After hearing his question, Xia Wei'an finally snapped back to her senses and remembered that she had just slapped the table and scolded someone. Her face stiffened. 'How could I have acted like a shrew in front of Di Xingchen!?'

'No, I have to save my image!'

She immediately smiled sweetly. Even though her smile seemed bizarre when juxtaposed against her hideous makeup, Di Xingchen had been keeping his eyes fixed on her ever since she smiled. 

"Well, today, I openly challenged the vice class president and said that I want to beat her total score in the mock exam next month. After that, I got ridiculed and I was furious. I must surpass her! So, can you tutor me during lunchtime every day?"
