The vice president of their class was Xia Tianzhen, who was among the top ten in the class ranking and the top fifty in the cohort!
However, Xia Wei'an was at the bottom of the class and the cohort. Yet, she had the audacity to challenge Xia Tianzhen!
Therefore, after Xia Wei'an finished speaking, the atmosphere of the entire classroom was peculiarly silent for a few seconds, followed by roaring laughter.
Everyone was laughing at her for lacking self-awareness and laughing at her for shamelessly going all out just to seek attention from Gu Chenyang!
Xia Wei'an pursed her lips tightly and allowed the unrestrained laughter and mocking to fill her ears. She was initially staring at Mr. Geng, but when she saw that Xia Tianzhen had turned around to look at her, she looked at Xia Tianzhen and asked provocatively, "Do you dare to do it?"
Her voice was drowned in the mockery, but Xia Tianzhen saw her lip shape clearly.
"Okay, keep quiet."
Mr. Geng reached his hand out and pressed it down in the air to make everyone stop. Peace was restored again.
"I'm glad and heartened to hear that you have such intentions, but I'm afraid you've set your goals too high, and you'll have your ego hurt if you fail to accomplish it. Why don't you first set a small goal like surpassing Lu Yuxuan?"
Lu Yuxuan's performance in class was not much better than Xia Wei'an. Xia Wei'an was the last in class while Lu Yuxuan was ten places ahead of her. Although they were ten places apart, there is a lot of room for improvement for a lousy student, so Mr. Geng's suggestion was not wrong.
Xia Wei'an pursed her lips, and she wasn't eager to answer.
Usually, Xia Tianzhen would think of ways to embarrass her every now and then. Now that she had been given such a good chance, how could she be willing to let it go?
"Mr. Geng, I have something to say."
As expected, Xia Tianzhen stood up before Xia Wei'an could answer.
"Mr. Geng, I accept the challenge, I will definitely urge my sister to study hard and try to make her grades catch up with mine."
Xia Tianzhen acted as if she was sparing a thought for Xia Wei'an, which made Mr. Geng feel very heartened.
A lousy student wanting to study properly was akin to turning over a new leaf. If Xia Wei'an really studied well and stopped getting into trouble, it would be a proud accomplishment in Mr. Geng's teaching career.
"Okay, Xia Wei'an, if you can outperform Xia Tianzhen in the next mock exam, I'll give you a big gift. How does that sound?"
In order to motivate Xia Wei'an, Mr. Geng promised her a big gift.
"Mr. Geng, what is the gift going to be?"
Some students were curious, but Mr. Geng awkwardly stretched out his hand and scratched his head. He said with a smile, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Those words made everyone laugh.
"Mr. Geng, my sister and I have already discussed the prize for this challenge. Thank you for your kindness, you just have to be our witness."
How could Xia Tianzhen let go of such a good opportunity to ridicule Xia Wei'an? She was clearly going to win the challenge, so she obviously had to make use of it!
Xia Wei'an did not have any objections. She smirked and sat down because that was exactly the result she wanted.
Hearing that they had already made their own arrangements, Mr. Geng calmed the class down before continuing with the lesson.
It was the last class for the morning, and after school, there would be two hours of break. Usually, Xia Wei'an would either go out for an aimless stroll or take a nap on the desk. However, she dashed out of the classroom almost as soon as the bell rang and before Mr. Geng left.
That caused Xia Tianzhen's plan to make a bet with her to fall through.
