Chapter 80
Chapter 80: He Dare Not! If All Else Fails… Beg Him.
Host Li Yi came over and looked around, finding that the two were clearly divided. He hesitated for a moment.
The surrounding students immediately started to cheer:
“Wen Yu, push her off!”
“Chengque, push him out!”
Both of them exerted more force, but they still couldn’t determine the winner. Li Yi looked for a while and finally said:
“It’s decided! The winners are Wen Yu and Fu Chengque!”
Wen Yu and Fu Chengque proudly each took a gift and returned to their seats.
Fu Chengque smirked, “Wen, you should thank me. If I didn’t go easy on you, with your weak strength, you wouldn’t have won this gift.”
Wen Yu smiled and said, “Fu, don’t worry about bragging and straining your back. If I didn’t hold back, you would have fallen flat on your face, looking ridiculous.”
“Wow, you’re calling me a dog!”
“Evil people always play the victim first. You called me weak first!”
“Rascal! In front of Empress, everyone is a weakling! If I say you’re weak, you must admit it!”
“Haha, now that I’m a rascal, why should I listen to you?”
“??…”
Fu Chengque was dumbfounded. Wen Yu’s words made so much sense…
Xiao Gua and the others also approached, bombarding them with compliments.
“Chengque, you’re so amazing, truly an Empress!”
“I knew Chengque is not inferior to the boys, even more amazing than them!”
“Chengque is amazing!”
Fu Chengque was praised until she felt shy, scratching the back of her head and chuckling, “Hehehe…”
The party continued, and the atmosphere became more lively.
Although the classmates’ performances were not very extravagant, they put in a lot of effort, and laughter filled the air.
Chen Xiongguo, sitting in a corner, was occasionally amused by some of the performances, emitting hearty and hearty laughter. When he laughed, the surrounding area quieted down, and when he stopped, laughter erupted again. Even the old teacher couldn’t help but join in the laughter.
In this atmosphere, most people felt relaxed—
Even if this year passed like this, there wouldn’t be much regret.
In the afternoon, the party, which lasted for more than two hours, came to an end.
When the host announced the end, everyone applauded excitedly. Afterwards, the class representative spoke a few words, also mentioning some matters.
The important points included, “We will have one day off for New Year’s Day, followed by two days of makeup classes. We will return to school for classes on January 2nd and 3rd.”
The less important points included, “…This New Year’s party was held very well, and the students who organized it worked hard… Also, there will be a campus party in the auditorium later, so anyone who hasn’t had enough fun can go there.”
Finally, everyone was reminded to stay safe during the holiday outings, and the teachers wished the students a happy New Year.
There was initially some grumbling in the classroom, but then someone shouted, “Teacher Chen, Happy New Year.”
After a brief silence, there was a chorus of “Teacher Chen, Happy New Year” from Class Four, making the middle-aged man nod repeatedly.
Afterward, the students of Class Four returned the chairs to their original positions. Those who wanted to go home left, while others went to the auditorium for the campus party. Wen Yu and some others stayed behind to clean up the classroom.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to get the “Three Good Students” award. Half of the certificates were earned through these accumulated tasks.
Xiao Gua and the others volunteered to help, making the cleaning task much lighter.
Wen Yu glanced around and saw that there were still plenty of snacks left.
He lifted the bag and said, “There are still a lot of snacks left. As Teacher Chen said, let’s share them out!”
“I still want to eat melon seeds…”
“Wen Yu, are there any oranges left?”
Wen Yu spread out the bag, “Help yourselves, and take some home if you have people who like them.”
Then he said to Fu Chengque, “The class representative wants to talk to me, so I’ll go see him. I also need to tally up the expenses from this event with him. You can go home first.”
Fu Chengque nodded vigorously and made a shooing motion as she spoke, “Go on, go on, go on, we won’t be going back so soon.”
After Wen Yu left, Fu Chengque turned to her girlfriends excitedly.
“Wen Yu’s gone, let’s go, let’s go!”
Xiao Gua looked worried, “Chengque, are you sure Wen Yu won’t tell on us?”
“He wouldn’t dare!” Fu Chengque said firmly, then deflated, “He shouldn’t… It’s no big deal. I’ll just beg him later if anything happens…”
“Hehehe, Chengque begging Wen Yu, he’ll definitely soften.” Fang Ling chuckled.
“I think so too,” Lu Min said seriously.
“What nonsense are you guys talking about!” Fu Chengque raised her eyebrows, “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s not waste time!”
The four quickly left the school, circled around a bit, and entered a supermarket. When they came out, they had an additional item concealed in their hands.
“Put it in the backpack!”
“Be careful, don’t let anyone see it.”
“It’s quite heavy.”
“I’ll carry it, I’m strong!”
They sneaked into the school like thieves, especially cautious when entering the school gate. However, today was special, and the security guards were also immersed in the New Year atmosphere, paying little attention to them.
Once inside the school, they immediately headed for the playground.
It was cold, and with New Year’s Day approaching, there were few people on the playground.
They ran all the way to the side of the rostrum, finally heaving a sigh of relief together.
Fu Chengque brought the bag to the front, lifted it up, and revealed the mysterious contents—beer.
Seeing the beer, Lu Min looked a bit scared, “If we get caught, will we be expelled?”
“It’s just drinking on the playground, it won’t be that serious,” Fang Ling said.
Xiao Gua added, “Just don’t get drunk and cause trouble!”
Fu Chengque patted her chest confidently while showing off her biceps, “Don’t worry, if you get drunk, you guys can sleep it off, and I’ll carry you back.”
Suddenly, two voices came from nearby.
The four fell silent, huddling together until the two voices got closer and they realized it was just two unfamiliar students, not teachers or security guards. They all breathed a sigh of relief at once.
Looking at each other, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Winter nights fall early.
By six in the evening, the sky had already darkened, and nightfall began to set in. The temperature was gradually dropping, with a chill in the air.
Fu Chengque distributed the beer to everyone, then opened hers with a “pop.” After the other three also opened theirs with similar sounds, she spoke first.
“Here! To our friendship, and to our upcoming graduation from high school, cheers!”
Fang Ling chuckled, “It sounds like a scene from a TV drama, a bit cliché.”
Xiao Gua said, “I think it’s nice. We have to do something to remember, right? Otherwise, what will we have to reminisce about in the future?”
Lu Min joked, “Xiao Gua can even say something so artistic. I agree, let’s learn from it! Cheers!”
The four beer cans clinked together, creating a few white foam flowers.
On the last day of the year, amidst the cold winter wind, four voices poured out the simple enthusiasm of high school.
“Cheers!”
“Cheers~”
“Cheers!”
“Cheers~”
Fu Chengque tilted her head back and took a few sips. The slightly bitter beer flowed down her throat, instantly warming her up. With a “ha,” she looked at her three friends, feeling suddenly that the cold wind wasn’t so cold anymore.
