Caught on the Spot (I)

"Are you glad that you got first place, Fu Ting? You're too much!"

Fu Huihui's face reddened as she accusingly pointed at Fu Ting. She ran away, face covered.

Her retreating figure looked like a willow branch in the wind. Those who did not know what had happened would probably think Fu Ting had bullied her.

Fu Ting was bewildered.

She had only gotten first place... What part of that was too much?

The others saw this and rolled their eyes; her irrational anger was sparked due to her embarrassment on her subpar abilities. Fu Huihui really made people speechless.

Several boys who had a crush on Fu Huihui silently canceled their votes for Fu Huihui on the School Babe title.

...

Full-blast discussions about Fu Ting ranking first went on throughout the entire class period.

The gossip of the masses was so powerful, the entire school knew about this in mere moments.

In the campus forum, Fu Ting was eventually ranked as the first in the School Babe voting poll.

...

After the morning class...

Teacher Zhu waited for the students to empty the classroom before he approached Fu Ting, a smile etched on his face as he stood before her. "Student Fu Ting, I've thought about it for a while... Your talents and grades are outstanding in our high school, and a talent like you shouldn't be staying in Class One. I plan on helping you to apply and join the Olympiad Excellence Class. Would you be up for it?"

Class One was one of the better regular classes in Hai City High School, but there was also an excellence class particularly for outstanding students in Olympic Math.

To enter the excellence class was equivalent to winning the gold medal of honor. It would be effortless to choose any college via college entrance examination, and it came with free university tuition as well.

Based on Fu Ting's performance, she would have no problems in college entrance exams and could even receive scholarships. Moreover, no one could refuse the honor to join the excellence class, right?

Though Teacher Zhu wanted Fu Ting to stay in Class One, he was worried that Fu Ting would be affected by her puppy love.

He had no prejudice against poor students, but he placed great importance on the future of top students.

Fu Pei was the type to muddle through, so he really could not rest assured if Fu Ting was too close to Fu Pei.

Teacher Zhu stole a glance at Fu Pei.

Head lowered, Fu Pei seemed to be sleeping. His shoulders were pressed against the desk, and his neckline was charming and alluring.

No one knew that the wide-awake Fu Pei's dark eyes were swirling with silent anger, with red veins showing. 

He was not stupid. He knew Teacher Zhu was wary of him.

He was viewed as the bad boy, the delinquent, and good students would be taught to stay away from him.

Of course, he was Brother Fu, who was like a copper and iron wall. He was unbothered.

Yet, at this moment...

He was a little scared Little Fool would truly leave.

He was just a lazy scumbag. What would happen if Little Fool stayed? He would only hold her back.

Any normal person would easily make a decision.

Fu Pei's heart sank slowly.

"Thank you for your offer, Teacher Zhu," Fu Ting's voice was like the sound of nature, like a spring breeze that blew faint warmth across the lake. "I don't want to."

Fu Peng stood up abruptly, and his initially sunken heart slowly rose again.

"Why?" When Teacher Zhu asked this question, he noticed that Fu Ting took a glance at Fu Pei. He immediately became worried and concerned; indeed, love was blind.

Fu Ting's response was a warm smile that was followed by, "Because I want to study with my dad."

Teacher Zhu was speechless.

Such a blatant provocation!

For a moment there, he kind of felt like supporting this story of a top student and poor student who appreciated each other... Tsk!

Teacher Zhu turned his eyes away as complex emotions swirled in them. He said nothing as he walked away with shaky steps.

Su Luoshui's face paled due to the sappy feeling she was getting, and she clutched at her chest. "My little kid is too good at teasing a person. Ah! I'm done."

Riddled with envy, she then glanced at Fu Pei and muttered, "I don't know what sh*tty luck you got that my angelic little kid faithfully follows you."

Fu Pei walked over with no expression on his face, his hands shoved into his pockets. He had on a very arrogant and cold expression, and his retina blood vessels were still visible, as though he was a little drunk.

He turned his face away from them, looking arrogant and disgusted. "Who wants you to follow me around."

He was no kindergarten child.

His heart was ridiculing it, but the tip of his ears unconsciously became red, and the corners of his strongly suppressed mouth showed telltale signs of a pressed down smile.
