"So, how about it? Our internal conflict is quite entertaining, isn't it!"

Jin Chengwu stood aside, enjoying the show while Liu Tao and Wang Shuang berated Ye Qiu.

As a wealthy young man from South Korea, Jin Chengwu inherently disliked Huaxia, the giant that had once ruled their country in ancient times, due to the education he had received.

In his education, their Korean nation was the strongest, their Korean nation was the most sacred.

If it weren't for his family's international business and the fact that he saw Luo Bing during a banquet in Shangjing and was captivated, he wouldn't stoop to studying in Huaxia.

Even though he came to study in Huaxia, he rarely attended.

Earlier, seeing his two henchmen, Liu Tao and Wang Shuang, insulting Ye Qiu from the same nation for him, his heart was filled with pride.

At the same time, he felt more disdain for people from Huaxia.

But at this moment, looking at Ye Qiu's sharp gaze, Jin Chengwu felt a sudden chill in his heart and thought to himself, "This guy's eyes are terrifying."

But who was Jin Chengwu? Considering the gap between him and Ye Qiu and his black belt in Taekwondo, he gathered courage and stared directly at Ye Qiu, saying, "Ye Qiu, how can you say such things? Liu Tao and Wang Shuang are my friends, and you're my classmate. How could I enjoy your spectacle?"

Seeing Luo Bing nearby, and remembering how Luo Bing defended Ye Qiu earlier, he immediately put on an air of a gentleman.

Ye Qiu merely felt disgusted upon seeing this, and with a slight smile said, "Very well, so I'm asking you now, don't you have anything else to do?"

Jin Chengwu nodded, "No, nothing."

"Then kindly move away from my desk, I still need to study," Ye Qiu said.

Jin Chengwu's eyes narrowed, showing a hint of disdain, but he didn't speak and instead signaled Liu Tao and Wang Shuang.

Although Liu Tao and Wang Shuang were angered by Ye Qiu earlier, they felt quite humiliated upon further contemplation.

Their families weren't well-off, and they were not the type to worship foreign things or curry favor, but because Jin Chengwu knew of their situation and provided some support, they decided to follow him.

At first, they thought Jin Chengwu was kind-hearted, but after becoming his lackeys and doing several tasks for him, they realized he was actually just a spoiled brat with a poor character, even they couldn't bear him.

Yet, Jin Chengwu had done them a favor, so they could only follow unwillingly behind him.

Only after Jin Chengwu's signal did they confront Ye Qiu. Seeing Jin Chengwu signaling again, Liu Tao and Wang Shuang exchanged glances, with Liu Tao stepping forward to mock Ye Qiu, "What's the use of studying? Do you really think you'll get first place in the exams?"

"Haha, if you manage to get first place, then wouldn't our brother Jin be able to get first in Huaxia, or even the world?"

While speaking, they flattered Jin Chengwu, making him quite pleased, yet exchanged glances afterward, revealing helplessness.

Ye Qiu heard this, smiled slightly, and said, "Whether he can get first worldwide, I don't know, but the top spot in H City's college entrance exam, that's mine."

Upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, a strange light flashed in Luo Bing's eyes; she found Ye Qiu's aura really captivating at this moment.

"Haha, quite the bold statement."

Seeing Luo Bing's unusual gaze towards Ye Qiu, Jin Chengwu felt displeased and sarcastically said, "We'll see how capable you really are."

"Hah!"

Ye Qiu shook his head, didn't bother rebutting, "Words are pointless, let's talk after the exams."

"Alright."

Jin Chengwu chuckled, "Since you're so confident, how about we make a bet?"

"Not interested?" Ye Qiu shook his head.

Jin Chengwu said, "You're probably too scared to gamble, huh."

Ye Qiu said, "What do you want to bet on?"

Seeing Ye Qiu agree, Jin Chengwu's eyes flashed with joy and he said, "Didn't you say the top spot in H City's college entrance exam is yours? Let's bet on who gets first this time."

"What's the stake?" Ye Qiu asked.

Jin Chengwu glanced at Luo Bing, smiled slightly and said, "Let's bet that the loser will stay away from Luo Bing going forward."

"I disagree." Luo Bing stood up and said, "Jin Chengwu, you're not qualified to control who I'm with, that bet doesn't count."

Jin Chengwu smiled slightly and looked at Ye Qiu, "How about it?"

Ye Qiu glanced at Luo Bing, saw the plea in her eyes, and gave her a reassuring look, then said, "Alright, I agree. Whoever loses shall not speak to Luo Bing and abandon any pursuit of her."

"Ye Qiu."

Luo Bing looked at Ye Qiu in a daze; Ye Qiu responded with a smile, Jin Chengwu laughed heartily, saying, "Alright, it's settled."

Afterward, he glanced at Luo Bing, then disdainfully eyed Ye Qiu, turning and laughing as he left.

To Jin Chengwu, Ye Qiu was a fool, he felt absolutely certain he would win this bet.

Even if he won only for Ye Qiu to stay away from Luo Bing, Jin Chengwu was highly satisfied, as at least he'd have one less rival around Luo Bing.

"Luo Bing, I will win you over, sooner or later," Jin Chengwu thought to himself.

...

Luo Bing watched Jin Chengwu's retreating figure, her brows furrowed tightly, then anxiously said to Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, are you confident? Although Jin Chengwu is arrogant, his academic performance is really good, he was acclaimed as South Korea's outstanding prodigy at a very young age."

Ye Qiu smiled slightly, "Do you really have so little faith in me?"

"I!"

Luo Bing was momentarily speechless.

Seeing Luo Bing unable to respond, Ye Qiu chuckled, "Don't worry, I have complete confidence, he won't trouble you in the future."

Luo Bing bit her lip, watched Ye Qiu, hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Ye Qiu, did you place the bet because he pursues me?"

Ye Qiu paused, looked at Luo Bing's wide eyes, pondered briefly, then nodded, "That's part of the reason."

Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared in Luo Bing's eyes.

But Ye Qiu simply smiled slightly and quickly put the bet with Jin Chengwu out of his mind.

Jin Chengwu was called a prodigy, yet if Ye Qiu, whose intelligence had recently been enhanced by the system, were present, he could be called a god.

Therefore, he wasn't concerned with Jin Chengwu.

The reason he accepted Jin Chengwu's bet was partly because Jin Chengwu's interest in Luo Bing annoyed him, and he wanted to dampen Jin Chengwu's arrogance.

And also because Jin Chengwu's arrogant demeanor as a South Korean in Huaxia was something he couldn't stand.

If it weren't for being in school, Ye Qiu might have wanted to punch Jin Chengwu earlier.

So Ye Qiu accepted Jin Chengwu's bet to find another way to tell Jin Chengwu that he, as a foreigner, should be humble in Huaxia.

Otherwise, he'd end up quite badly...
