Chapter Sixteen: You Can't Get In

  Xue Yi Yang and Liu Rui looked at each other in dismay, when did this little brat Su Can become so sharp? However, his last sentence made the whole game room raise their eyebrows.

  Everyone on Wang Wei's side was stunned, and the techniques and gameplay that were almost unheard of in the ball game still lingered in their minds, undoubtedly opening up a new era for this competitive game.

  Perhaps it was because they were too immersed in the scene before them, so Su Can's "trash" didn't sound ear-piercing at all. Instead, people had a vague feeling that he was scolding with reason. Compared to Su Can in front of them, they indeed had something wrong with them.

  "Awesome!" The slightly chubby little guy wearing hip-hop attire gave a thumbs up.

  Wang Weiwei stood up and faced Su Can, extending his hand, "Wang Weiwei."

  Su Can stepped forward and shook hands with him, "Su Can."

  "What an incredible skill, I lost with admiration! You're on a whole different level!" Wang Weiwei turned around, facing the crowd, "Of course, I'm a man of my word. Today's expenses are all on me!"

  The crowd erupted in another round of cheers.

  Su Can found himself starting to like Wang Wei and his group, even if they were arrogant, their eyes showed sincerity and honesty, which made him think that although these rich kids were a bit overbearing, their character and upbringing were still good.

  As she shook hands with Wang Weiwei, Su Can's gaze unconsciously passed over his shoulder and landed on the girl behind him.

  The girl also curiously looked at herself, and those bright big eyes met her own again. This time, however, she didn't get a scolding like thunder from a clear sky, but instead, she awkwardly shifted her gaze away, looking elsewhere with a hint of embarrassment.

  Wang Weiwei's voice rang out, "Su Can, this name... I've remembered it. We'll be staying here for a while longer, and you'll come again, right? When the time comes, please give me more guidance."

  ···

  "Hey! You should have asked for that girl's name a long time ago!" On the way back, Liu Rui and Xue Yiyang were extremely excited, almost dancing with joy. Today's victory had solidified their positions in this circle, making them nearly unbeatable and the center of attention.

  "Hmm... I really don't know her full name, there's no such girl in our school." Xue Yi Yang pondered, if this girl were to be admitted to Municipal No. 1 Middle School, it would definitely be a bombshell, and he wouldn't be unaware of it.

  "Besides, your skills today are quite impressive, good job! It was just a while ago that I had a match with you, and you were hiding your strength too well. So when we fought before, you weren't even using your full power?" Liu Rui and Xue Yiyang returned to the topic of technique once again.

  Su Can thought to herself, "Didn't I just cross over here?", but instead said out loud, "I'm afraid that if I were to use all my moves at once, it would be too embarrassing for the two of you, so I'll temporarily hide my true strength and let you two dance for a while!"

  The two of them looked at each other with disdain, but there was no anger in their tone. Instead, they both took pride in Su Can. Previously, Su Can had been the youngest and shortest among them, only 168 cm tall, while the other two were 173 cm and 175 cm respectively. As a result, he had very little say in front of them. But now, his two sworn brothers looked at him with newfound respect, even their tone was more polite than before. After all, Su Can's impressive performance against Wang Weiwei's group had already left a deep impression on everyone.

  According to Su Can's recollection of that period in history, this scene had never appeared before, equivalent to being reborn and changing his fate. He wanted to change the fact that he failed the middle school entrance exam, while also changing the unfortunate fate of his two sworn brothers. Su Can said seriously, "The day after tomorrow is the middle school entrance exam, how's your review going?"

  Liu Rui smiled first, "What's the point of reviewing for the middle school exam? I just took a casual look at the book. These last two days you can't do anything about it anyway, if you're not good enough then you'll never be! On the other hand, I think Wang Weiwei and his gang are pretty good, after the exam is over I'll go exchange blows with him, this kid's skills aren't bad, he's got some moves."

  "As for you, first get rid of that Xiao Wu of theirs before talking, as far as they're concerned, apart from Su Can, the two of us are just vegetables."

  Su Can somewhat admired these two kids, who could relate everything to games. He couldn't help but speak seriously, "I'm talking about something important. For the past few days before the mid-term exam, I've been studying extremely hard. Our teacher distributed a set of internal practice questions for each subject. If you complete all the questions and review them systematically, it will be very helpful. You guys take a look tomorrow, whenever you have time. Tomorrow is the last day before the exam, if you don't review now, it'll be too late!"

  Two people gazed at Su Can with their mouths agape, looking a bit strange and bewildered, as if they had seen another kind of human being.

  It wasn't until a while later that they realized Su Can wasn't joking, and only then did the two of them regain their composure.

  "Hey, I couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so I thought of coming out to play this afternoon. What can I do? You think I don't want to study? Three years' worth of material, all coming at once is too much. My own affairs, I still know what's going on." Xue Yiyang furrowed his brow.

  Liu Rui also said, "I reviewed it in advance, anyway, as long as I can get into the second high school, my dad's requirements are not high!"

  "Which subject do you have questions about, I can provide you with systematic exercises. The mid-term exam is two and a half days away, we can make use of this time to review some subjects that won't be tested in advance, handle them with ease and difficulty, it will be much better. After the exam, we'll go celebrate!"

  Xue Yi Yang furrowed his brow and thought for a moment, "English, chemistry, math, these three subjects are a bit weaker, the other subjects that rely on memorization can't be improved in a short period of time, so there's no need to worry about them for now."

  "My subjects are biology, physics, English, chemistry, oh, and maybe math too, these are all still relatively weak."

  Su Can nodded, "Tomorrow morning I will give you a copy of the relevant exercises, the first day to test Chinese and mathematics, these two subjects are the most important, tomorrow morning I will come to find you!"

  The two were stunned by Su Can's seriousness, and they nodded one after another. In fact, due to Su Can's outstanding performance today, the two of them couldn't help but take his words seriously, so much so that when Su Can mentioned the middle school entrance exam, the two of them unusually didn't laugh it off. After all, in the past, whenever the topic of test scores came up, the three of them would try to avoid it as much as possible. The three of their grades were at the bottom of their respective classes, and they weren't interested in what they were learning either. They only studied to get by on the exams. Now that Su Can was bringing it up again so seriously, the two of them woke up to the fact that this was currently their biggest problem and bottleneck, and they became serious as well.

  Before parting ways in front of the residential area, Xue Yi Yang had wanted to speak up several times but stopped himself. This time, however, he finally couldn't hold back, "Are you really planning on taking the entrance exam for Number One Middle School?"

  "What!" Liu Rui, who had just returned and was still devouring a string of lamb skewers, almost spat out the oil and water from his mouth, "One middle school!?"

  Looking at Xue Yi Yang who was chewing on a skewer of mutton with a suspicious expression, Su Can nodded.

  After a moment of hesitation, Xue Yiyang finally spoke in a low voice.

  "You won't pass!"

  Liu Rui came back to his senses from the shock, "Su Can, you're not having a fever, are you?"

  Su Can was so angry in his heart that he wished to rush up and give those two kids a shoulder throw, pinning them to the ground and trampling on them a hundred times.

  Looking at Xue Yi Yang's eyes filled with doubt, lack of confidence, hesitation, and even a hint of unease, Su Can simply turned around and left, leaving the two with only his back, saying faintly, "Our bet is still on."

  Behind him, Liu Rui's voice came over, asking Xue Yiyang in a puzzled tone, "What kind of bet did you guys make?"
