C35 – Concern

Sure enough, what Qin Shou said the next moment confirmed her guess.

Qin Shou smiled and said.

“Certainly, we’ll use the results from this practice exam as the benchmark. The person with the higher ranking will emerge as the victor!”

“Absolutely, we’re all gentlemen here. If we’re going to make a wager, there ought to be stakes and consequences involved!”

At this moment, Qin Shou assumed a contemplative posture before continuing.

“How about we make it a meal wager? The loser treats the winner to a meal at the Heavenly-Mansion Tavern on Central Street. Each of us can bring a guest along. So, Jiang Hao, what do you say? Do you accept the challenge?”

After proposing this, Qin Shou gazed at Jiang Hao, wearing a friendly smile, as though he awaited Jiang Hao’s response.

The students nearby immediately expressed their amazement upon hearing this!

“The Heavenly-Mansion Tavern on Central Street! It’s one of the top three restaurants in Tianhee City and the entire Jiangbei Province!”

“Indeed! I’ve heard about it as well. Rumor has it that you need a membership card just to dine there, making it inaccessible for regular folks!”

“I’ve heard similar stories. It’s said that a single bottle of wine at the Central Heavenly-Mansion Tavern can cost tens of thousands, and the premium selections can even reach tens of thousands!”

“I’m not sure if Jiang Hao will agree to this. He doesn’t strike me as a young master from an affluent background, after all!”

The surrounding classmates were equally taken aback by this revelation. They promptly regarded Jiang Hao with expressions suggesting he had made a foolish move.

“Is Jiang Hao completely oblivious? It’s clearly a trap, and yet he’s still considering it?”

“Jiang Hao is displaying his youthful naiveté! He can’t even decipher such an obvious provocation.”

“I suspect Jiang Hao is about to endure a significant loss of face.”

“Let’s keep our distance from this individual. We wouldn’t want to be dragged into his misfortune.”

......

The crowd engaged in lively discussions, with no one believing that Jiang Hao stood a chance of winning this match. After all, Qin Shou held a top-ten ranking among third-year students at Tianhe Second High School!

Nevertheless, Jiang Hao was unquestionably an underachiever academically, and their starting points were worlds apart.

In this moment, even Qin Shou couldn’t anticipate Jiang Hao’s agreement, especially with Soong Wan as the witness.

A surge of joy filled Qin Shou’s heart, devoid of any doubt.

“This is perfect! Last time, you narrowly escaped a catastrophe. This time, I’ll ensure you comprehend the consequences of crossing me!”

Determination burned in Qin Shou’s thoughts.

However, upon catching sight of Soong Wan, a sudden realization dawned upon him!
