Chapter 98: The Bigger Person

“Mushi, Shen Xi, stop it.” The discoloration and fragility in Su Ruowan’s complexion were signs that she was startled. Pulling Su Mushi’s arm, she pitifully cried out in a sobbing voice, “Shen Xi, this is not the way to talk. Apologize to Mushi.”

Unbothered to glance at Su Ruowan, Shen Xi threw Su Mushi a mocking look. “Young Master Mushi, you sure are the man. You need your sister’s approval before you can make a bet with me.”

Su Mushi gazed at Su Ruowan. “Wanwan, this is between her and me. Stay out of it.”

Like a delicate flower swaying in the wind, Su Ruowan’s eyes reddened with worry as she weakly called out, “Mushi.”

“This is between us so don’t you drag Wanwan in on it.” Su Mushi’s heart was breaking to see his sister’s tears but this made him hate Shen Xi more.

How much longer before Shen Xi, the brat would go to hell? She always made Wanwan sad and cry each and every time!

Watching with popcorn, Yu Qiubai finally stood up and became the peacemaker. “We are all schoolmates. It’s vulgar to talk about eating shit and what not. How about this? If Yu Yuanxi becomes a hit, Shi – you should apologize to Yu Yuanxi. The same goes to you, Shen Xi. You should apologize to Shi if Yu Yuanxi doesn’t make it.”

Hitting the roof, Su Mushi gave him an angry look. Whose side was he on!

“I’m always the bigger person. There’s no need to apologize to me.” Shen Xi appeared magnanimous. “Oh, Young Master Mushi, just apologize to Yu Yuanxi in front of the whole school if you lose and admit that you lack perception.”

With his blood boiling, Su Mushi spoke through clenched teeth. “If you lose, you have to kneel before me to apologize in front of the whole school!”

The evil and disgusting brat was taunting him, calling him narrow-minded!

Yu Qiubai let out a cunning smile. “I will bear witness in that case. Don’t either of you go back on your word.”

Su Mushi and Shen Xi both nodded in agreement.

With Yu Qiubai as the witness, they officially signed the wager in triplicate. The witness and parties concerned each bore a copy.

Yu Yuanxi took a seat beside Shen Xi. Guilt made him avert his eyes from her. “I’m sorry.”

He caused her problems once again.

“They insulted me.” Shen Xi’s voice may be cold but for the first time ever, she gave him a comforting look.

Yu Yuanxi was an artist of Cosmos Entertainment. Saying that he would not make it was a slap to her face as the boss!

With his heart skipping a beat, Yu Yuanxi wanted to confirm the fact but the girl beside him had resumed her usual aloof self as she put on her earphones and rested her eyes.

As China’s top high school, No. 4 High School was blessed with the best resources and richest students. Of course, the students representing the school in a competition would not receive any less treatment.

Shen Xi nestled against the sofa while watching TV. She sighed at the generosity the school had, seeing how every student was allocated a standard suite of their own in the five-star hotel. What a life.

The candidates here for the competition were all from the top class, apart from her and Yu Yuanxi. Everyone wanted to go out and have fun together.

Following a knock on the door, Shen Xi leisurely acknowledged.

Pushing a dining car in, the waiter respectfully and politely told her. “Ms. Shen, this is dinner provided by our hotel. Please help yourself.”

“Thank you,” Shen Xi expressed gratitude. Once the waiter was out of sight, her eyes alighted with frigidness.

Dinner was western cuisine – steak, spaghetti, seafood soup, and salad.

She picked up the seafood soup for a sniff before curling her lips sarcastically. Shen Xi placed the bowl back on the table and walked away.

Shen Xi had no doubt that only an idiot like Su Mushi would resort to the cheap trick of adding substances to her food.
