TSFLIP Chapter 731

Fengguang froze for a long moment. “Wait a sec… didn’t you also leave the classroom?”

“Classmate Xia, I’m the student council president.” Han Chen kindly reminded her again.

In other words, who would dare deduct points from his class?

Fengguang fell silent. No matter where you were, status and position always mattered. He had privileges, while she could easily be targeted. If word got out that her stepping out during self-study cost the class points, Gu Lan would definitely use it against her.

So… there was no way she could let those points be deducted.

A spark lit in her mind. Fengguang blinked, flashed him a bright smile, and said, “How about this—we make a deal.”

“What kind of deal?”

“You enjoy seeing Gu Lan stomp his feet in frustration, don’t you? I’ll help you mess with him. In return, you pretend you didn’t see me leave during self-study. How about it?”

Her proposal made his brows lift in surprise. He had assumed her bargaining chip would be, if you don’t dock my class, I won’t spread word about that boy confessing to you. Instead, she’d offered teaming up against Gu Lan.

Not a bad twist, was it?

But he hesitated. “Classmate Xia… you’re supposedly Gu Lan’s fiancée.”

“People get divorced even after marriage. What’s an engagement in comparison?”

“Well said.” Han Chen nodded approvingly, then smiled again. “But… I don’t really like going after Gu Lan the way you suggested. What I enjoy more is when prey thinks it’s the hunter, comes knocking on my door, and ends up limping away, licking its wounds.”

Fengguang hesitated, stunned that such cruel words had come from this gentle, sunny-looking boy. But the truth was undeniable: they had.

Han Chen spoke in an even tone. “So—Class E loses two points.”

“Wait a minute! Didn’t you just say only one point!?”

He smiled. “Because you tried to bargain improperly, which is against academic conduct, one more point gets deducted on top of that.”

“You—!”

“Goodbye, Classmate Xia.” He turned and walked away at an unhurried pace.

Fengguang stomped her foot in anger, but there was nothing she could do. Model student, helpful student council president? Ha! He’s the most infuriating person alive!

Because of what happened that morning, Fengguang carried a “keep away” aura for the rest of the day. Then the news spread—Class E had been docked another two points, bringing the total to –38. Most of her classmates didn’t care. Their points had long been in the negatives anyway, and no one expected to win any “outstanding class” awards.

But Gu Lan was different.

After catching up on sleep, he finally sat up instead of lying across his desk. Leisurely, he drawled, “Well, well… some people manage to cost our class two points on their very first day. Truly a jinx.”

The classroom, noisy just moments ago, fell silent at the crown prince’s words.

Mu Jin glanced at Fengguang, who sat quietly by the window, then spun around and shouted at Gu Lan, “So what if we lost points? Our class is already in the negatives. Even if we lost another hundred, we’d still be dead last! And maybe you should think about how many points we lost because of your fights and skipped classes before you run your mouth!”
