Chapter 201: Chapter 200: I Thought Two Blind Dogs Had Come Charging Over

Ji Bowen sneered and raised his long legs to leave.

Ye Manman finally understood why these two were targeting her, but that wasn’t a reason for them to intentionally harm her in such an arrogant manner.

She was very angry.

If it was just a normal fall, it might have been fine, but she was pregnant now. If she fell, who knows if the baby would survive? And with the poor medical conditions currently, it could result in a tragedy for both mother and child.

People like this are petty and deliberately endanger lives, truly hateful.

"So it’s two low-score clowns causing a fuss here. I thought it was two blind dogs rushing over. You hold a grudge against me for being chosen as the freshman representative because your scores are low, and you can’t wait to harm me to take my place, right?"

Ye Manman was so angry she found it funny.

"That’s hilarious. Let me tell you, I’m pregnant now. If you had deliberately knocked me down just now, causing a miscarriage or worse, both of us perishing, you’d be stuck with a label of intentional harm for life, never able to lift your heads again."

"Instead of learning good things, you two grown men choose to harm lives. If you’ve got the ability, use your scores to speak for you. You weren’t chosen as freshman representatives because your scores are trash, just like you. You try to harm me because you can’t beat me in scores. Pathetic."

Even though there were few people on the road, there were still some. Ye Manman was so angry she wasn’t afraid of what they might do to her.

After all, she could still run and find someone to help, but she couldn’t accept them trying to harm her and her unborn child.

Ji Bowen was successfully infuriated by her words. He stopped in his tracks, his face flushed red.

Originally, Ji Bowen hadn’t thought so far ahead. He just wanted to bump into Ye Manman for some petty revenge. But her words reminded him that she was pregnant, making him suddenly aware of how dangerous his actions had been.

If he really harmed her, he might have ruined the rest of his life.

Fortunately, nothing happened to her.

While relieved, Ji Bowen was once again driven mad by her subsequent words.

Grinding out each word from between his teeth, he said, "Who are you calling pathetic? Why do you think I can’t beat you in exams? Just because you were the provincial top scorer and became a freshman representative? If you dare, state your scores and let’s compare."

Ye Manman laughed, "Oh, let’s compare. I’m so scared of you~ I scored 701 in the college entrance exam. And you? Great genius, provincial top scorer, how many points higher are you than me?"

"What?"

Ji Bowen’s eyes widened, and Liao Yonghe’s smile vanished, looking as if he had just eaten something vile.

They couldn’t believe it, especially Ji Bowen.

He had asked all the guys in the dorm, and none had scored higher than him.

"That’s impossible! How could a girl score 700 points? The total is only 710. Did you cheat?"

The more Ji Bowen thought, the more he convinced himself it was possible; he was almost deluding himself.

He assumed Ye Manman wouldn’t score more than a little over 600, a score he could easily surpass. He never expected her to claim 700. Could a person even achieve that score?

Liao Yonghe was also dumbfounded.

He regretted choosing the wrong side and offending the true top student.

At that moment, he regretted immensely, wishing he could slap himself and swallow back all the words he had spoken earlier.

But what’s done is done, and Ye Manman didn’t look like she was willing to forgive them.

Liao Yonghe felt so embarrassed that he wished he could disappear into the nearby flowerbed.

"What do you mean it’s impossible? What’s wrong with being a girl? Do you look down on me just because I’m a girl? Now you’ve lost to a girl. How does that feel? If you’re not convinced, then beat me in the exams. Stop playing dirty tricks here; you’ll get yourself into real trouble eventually."

Ye Manman had no intention of wasting more time on them as class was about to start.

She cautiously moved further away from them and quickly entered the teaching building.

Ji Bowen was dazed after hearing her words, standing there for a long time unable to recover.

He had always lived surrounded by praise and admiration. His grandmother was proud of him for being a boy and excelling in academics. Throughout high school, he was praised by teachers and classmates, always believing himself to be the best.

His grandmother told him since he was a child that boys were naturally better than girls, so the girls in his family didn’t go to school. He worked hard, fearing he would be surpassed by girls.

Over time, he left the female students in his school, city, and even province far behind, and even the boys’ scores posed no threat to him anymore.

He had long believed that only boys could be his competitors, which was why, on his first day in the dorm, he asked all the boys from other provinces about their scores, seeking to regain his sense of superiority at the new school.

But now he had been defeated by a girl, and in a crushing manner.

Fifty points might seem negligible at low scores, but at the top, after six hundred points, each additional point is a hard-fought battle.

It might take dozens, even hundreds of sleepless nights just to reach that level.

For the first time, his long-held beliefs were shaken.

"Bowen, Bowen! It’s time for class, hurry up, don’t just stand there. She told you to beat her in exams, so do it. There’s no need to fear her!"

Liao Yonghe tried to salvage the situation.

Though his scores were lacking, Ji Bowen’s were still excellent. Although his scores were lower than Ye Manman’s by a significant margin in the college exams, the future was long, and he believed Ji Bowen was determined and had a real chance.

He pulled Ji Bowen to the classroom, thinking it made sense as they ran.

"Yes, also, isn’t she going to have a baby? She’ll definitely be busy and unable to study then. Use that time to surpass her, to crush her beneath your feet, see if she still dares to be arrogant then."

Since there was no chance to cling to Ye Manman now, he might as well hold onto Ji Bowen instead. After all, he wasn’t bad. If Ye Manman was first, Ji Bowen could certainly be second.

Regarding the future, both were excellent; it didn’t matter whom he supported.

Liao Yonghe felt optimistic, pulling Ji Bowen as they quickly reached the classroom.

Just then, the class bell rang.

Ji Bowen was startled by the piercing bell, looking up to meet Ye Manman’s casual gaze from the front row.

At that moment, he felt a surge of unnameable fighting spirit fill his heart.

No matter whether the first place was male or female, he would strive to surpass them!

With determination, Ji Bowen took a seat. Perhaps it was fate offering him a chance to showcase his abilities, as Chen Yuqing suddenly spoke from the podium.

"Everyone is present, right? I have some exciting news: this month there will be a National University Student English Competition, including preliminaries and finals. The preliminaries will be an on-campus selection, with the top ten advancing to the finals."

"This competition offers substantial rewards: five hundred yuan for the national first place, three hundred for second, two hundred for third, and the remaining participants in the top ten will receive fifty yuan as a finalist bonus. I hope everyone will enthusiastically participate—not only for yourselves but representing the school’s honor."

"At our Qing University within the country..."

"Students interested can raise their hands to sign up now or go to the office after class. The deadline is this Wednesday at noon."

Chen Yuqing said a lot, and as soon as she finished, many hands shot up in the classroom.

Ye Manman was among them.

Her eyes shone brightly, determined to claim that five hundred yuan reward.

Five hundred yuan!

That’s much easier than translating a book for money.
