Chapter 27: Toast

The classroom immediately quieted down. Was the punishment for Fang Yu's cheating about to be announced? Everyone was eager to know."Fang Yu did not cheat. He did his own test papers and they were exceptionally well done. I have personally apologized for the suspicions against him. After this class, Fang Yu and Tang Xiaorou will be transferred to the Focus Class. So, I hope everyone can give them a round of applause, especially Fang Yu. He has made remarkable progress in a short period of time, which is something we can all learn from..."The classroom fell silent, with no applause, only the voice of Huang Hai.No one expected the result to turn out like this. Fang Yu not only escaped being caught cheating, but was even transferred to the Focus Class!The Focus Class, a place that Xu Xiaona had been striving to enter for over two years!"How could this happen!" Xu Xiaona gritted her teeth, feeling extremely dissatisfied.Jiang Yue, on the other hand, was even more unwilling, clenching her fist!Why did Fang Yu always manage to escape unscathed? What gave him the right?"I advise some students not to be too jealous of others' progress and achievements. Remember, don't judge a book by its cover. Fang Yu must have put in unknown efforts to achieve the first place in the whole grade... " Huang Hai's words blocked any further doubts from Xu Xiaona.After Huang Hai finished speaking, there was silence in the classroom.After class, Liu Pangzi approached Fang Yu and said, "Fang Yu, you are truly amazing. To score first place in the whole grade and be transferred to the Focus Class! How did you do it?"Fang Yu smiled faintly and said, "It's simple, you just need motivation. For example, my motivation is breakfast every day."Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaorou paused in her actions of organizing books."Breakfast? What do you mean?" Liu Pangzi was puzzled....Fang Yu and Tang Xiaorou moved their books, officially entering the Focus Class.As soon as they arrived, Fang Yu received a lot of attention.All the top students were curious about the sudden emergence of the first place student in the whole grade, wanting to know who he really was. In their hearts, they couldn't believe that Fang Yu could score so high. However, they didn't say it out loud, as there was no deep hatred between them and Fang Yu.But one gaze was particularly unfriendly, coming from Yang Xu.Fang Yu noticed and gave Yang Xu a slight smile.To Yang Xu, this smile was clearly a provocation!He had warned Fang Yu before, not to get too close to Tang Xiaorou.But now, Fang Yu not only grew closer to Tang Xiaorou, but even came to his face!It was like he was blatantly slapping Yang Xu in the face!The more Yang Xu thought about it, the angrier he got, his eyes gradually turning bloodshot.But soon, he calmed down.Now that Fang Yu had come before him, it might actually be a good thing. At least, he would be able to deal with Fang Yu more easily.After class, Yang Xu found Zhao Shuang'er and whispered a few words in her ear.The two of them were very intimate, as if they had already had physical contact.After hearing Yang Xu's words, Zhao Shuang'er nodded and immediately walked towards the location of Tang Xiaorou and Fang Yu."Xiaorou, you're finally back. I've missed you for over a week!" Zhao Shuang'er jumped into Tang Xiaorou's arms, acting spoiled.Being back in the same class as her best friend, Tang Xiaorou was also very happy and started chatting with Zhao Shuang'er.After chatting for a while, Zhao Shuang'er said, "Xiaorou, tonight is my birthday."Tang Xiaorou was a little surprised and said, "Shuang'er, don't you usually only celebrate your lunar birthday?"Zhao Shuang'er covered her mouth and giggled, glancing at Yang Xu sitting in the front row, and said, "It's Yang Xu. He said we should celebrate both the lunar and solar birthdays. He has arranged a grand birthday party for me tonight. Will you come?"With Yang Xu present, Tang Xiaorou hesitated, but Zhao Shuang'er was her best friend and it would be impolite not to go.And now that Yang Xu and Zhao Shuang'er were together, he probably wouldn't pester her like he used to."I will definitely come," Tang Xiaorou replied."That's great." Zhao Shuang'er hugged Tang Xiaorou and said.Then, Zhao Shuang'er looked at Fang Yu, who was reading a novel, and said, "This is my desk mate, Fang Yu. I haven't met him yet."Tang Xiaorou poked Fang Yu's shoulder."What's up?" Fang Yu looked at Tang Xiaorou."This is my good friend, Zhao Shuang'er," Tang Xiaorou introduced."Oh." Fang Yu then turned his head back, showing no intention of greeting Zhao Shuang'er.Tang Xiaorou felt a little embarrassed and was about to say something."Yang Xu wanted me to invite all the classmates, including Fang Yu," Zhao Shuang'er looked at Fang Yu and said.At that moment, the school bell rang."I'll go back first," Zhao Shuang'er said.After class, Tang Xiaorou gently tapped Fang Yu's shoulder."What's up?" Fang Yu looked at Tang Xiaorou."I want you to accompany me tonight. Just come with me for a while and then we can leave," Tang Xiaorou said."Not interested," Fang Yu replied.Finally, Tang Xiaorou softened her approach and said, "I'll make a deal with you. If you agree to my request, I'll go with you!""What request?" Fang Yu asked."Come to my house this weekend and do some housework for me," Fang Yu thought for a moment and said."Deal," Tang Xiaorou immediately agreed....After school, Fang Yu followed Tang Xiaorou to her house.Tang Xiaorou changed into a beautiful sky-blue dress and put on light makeup, making her look like an enchanting fairy. In contrast, Fang Yu, wearing his school uniform, stood out.The place where Yang Xu held the birthday party for Zhao Shuang'er was the top floor of the Yunding Hotel in Jianghai City.When Fang Yu and Tang Xiaorou arrived, there were already many people there, mostly students from their class.The entire top floor was booked by Yang Xu, with several tables full of food and wine, waiters and chefs standing by, ready to serve.In the center of the venue, there was a large dance floor for people to dance and enjoy themselves."Xiaorou, you're here!" Tonight, Zhao Shuang'er was dressed in luxurious white evening gown, wearing a diamond necklace around her neck.But compared to Tang Xiaorou, Zhao Shuang'er was still a bit inferior.When Tang Xiaorou compared herself with Zhao Shuang'er, she couldn't help but feel a bit strange. They had developed so quickly in just a few days, it felt a bit surreal.But perhaps this was love. When you meet the right person, sparks of love ignite immediately.Tang Xiaorou sincerely wished Zhao Shuang'er and Yang Xu happiness."You can have fun here, I'll go greet other classmates," Zhao Shuang'er said to Tang Xiaorou and then left with Yang Xu.From start to finish, they treated Fang Yu as if he were invisible.Fang Yu had already anticipated this and didn't care about these childish antics. His attention was all on the food.Fang Yu walked towards the tables filled with various food, and began to eat.Yang Xu, who was chatting with other classmates, glanced at Fang Yu and sneered.What a country bumpkin's behavior."Young Master Yang has booked the entire floor for tonight's party; the cost alone might be hundreds of thousands!" someone said loudly."With Young Master Yang's status, hundreds of thousands are nothing!" another person echoed.Most of the students in the class had never seen such a luxurious setting before and marveled at it while looking around.In the face of compliments and praises from everyone, Zhao Shuang'er felt proud and elated. This was the life she had longed for!She had been secretly in love with Yang Xu for so long, and finally received a response!If she could successfully marry into the Yang family in the future, her status would be on par with Tang Xiaorou, a rich young lady!...Tang Xiaorou tried to greet a few classmates, but when she turned around, she realized that Fang Yu was nowhere to be seen.Looking around, she finally saw Fang Yu eating a chicken leg at a distant table.Seeing this scene, everyone burst into laughter.This Fang Yu really had no manners. He came to someone else's birthday party but didn't even offer a toast, just eating and drinking to his heart's content."Does Fang Yu really have such a big appetite? Could it be that he knew he was coming to a party tonight and purposely came on an empty stomach?" Yang Xu loudly asked.This sentence once again caused laughter from the crowd.Fang Yu ignored Yang Xu."Forget it, we're all classmates here. Since you're not coming, I'll go over and offer you a toast," Yang Xu said with a mocking smile, lifting a glass of wine and walking towards Fang Yu.
