Chapter 549: Chapter 549 She Wants to Retaliate with Humiliation.

On regular weekends, Shen Mianmian never went to school, but this week, the school suddenly added an early class, and with no other choice, she had to get up early and head to school.

After the morning self-study session ended, Lu Siyuan hurriedly packed his things, "I’ll take my backpack back to the dorm; you wait for me at the school gate."

"I’ll wait for you for five minutes at most."

Last time she waited for him at the school gate, Mianmian had stood there for a full thirty minutes, which really tried her patience. To avoid a repeat of that, she made her position clear from the outset.

"I can’t even get to the dorm in five minutes," Lu Siyuan protested.

"You now have four minutes and fifty-five seconds."

"What kind of person are you!"

Fearing that Shen Mianmian would really leave, Lu Siyuan slung his backpack over his shoulder and sprinted back to the dorm. Mianmian might seem serene and composed on the surface, but when she spoke, she never made empty promises; when she said she wouldn’t wait, she meant it.

"Shen Mianmian, stop, I have something to say to you." Finally, with Lu Siyuan gone, Yang Xiaoxi stopped Mianmian who was about to leave the classroom.

Shen Mianmian raised an eyebrow slightly, "Go ahead." She wasn’t the least bit surprised to be confronted by Xiaoxi, who had been watching her since the bell rang, clearly itching to say something.

Truth be told, Mianmian didn’t dislike Yang Xiaoxi. Though proud and ever eager to compete, Xiaoxi never resorted to underhanded tactics.

Take the incident where Lu Siyuan made her cry, for instance! She didn’t seem to have made a fuss about it at home. Just for this, she deserved some praise. Overall, Xiaoxi wasn’t bad-natured; her competitiveness was just too fierce.

That was exactly why Mianmian kept getting into squabbles with Xiaoxi.

"Shen Mianmian, don’t think that by avoiding a public contest with me, you won’t be embarrassed if you lose," Xiaoxi said, lifting her chin defiantly. "The results of the test will be out in a couple of days. You’d better pray you did better than me, or I’ll make sure to ridicule you in front of the whole class. Then, your reputation as the city’s top student will be in tatters."

She didn’t believe Mianmian would remain as composed as she was now once the results were released. She wanted to see Mianmian cry; after all, Mianmian had made her cry two or three times already. Now, it was her turn to make Mianmian cry.

Being disregarded as an opponent was an insult to her.

A warrior can be killed but not humiliated, and she intended to return the humiliation.

"You’ve got that wrong," Shen Mianmian said with a wry smile, genuinely curious about what went on in Yang Xiaoxi’s mind.

"What do you mean?" Xiaoxi sensed that Mianmian was unlikely to say anything pleasant, but she was curious to know what Mianmian intended to convey.

"It’s you who wants to compete with me, not the other way around. So, it’s you who should be hoping to do well. If anyone ends up embarrassed by poor results, it’s you, not me."

Xiaoxi got angry, her brows furrowed in annoyance as she argued with Shen Mianmian, "You’re the city’s top student, if you do poorly, you’ll tarnish that title. It’s you who should be embarrassed, not me. What does this have to do with me?"

"I am the city’s top student, but that’s for overall performance, not individual subjects. Isn’t it normal to score a bit less in English?" Shen Mianmian shrugged. "As for you, you initiated the challenge and still didn’t win, wouldn’t that be like slapping your own face? Think about it! I’m leaving."

Yang Xiaoxi was left speechless by Shen Mianmian’s retort, staring with wide eyes as Mianmian walked past her. With her words, it seemed Xiaoxi had indeed dug her own grave.
