Chapter 3266: You Want to Go Back on Your Word Now?

Editor: Atlas Studios

Because of Li Xin’s sudden loud voice and push, the surrounding onlookers, still immersed in Qiao Nian and the others’ S grade, noticed him.

Someone immediately remembered the bet he had made with Qiao Nian.

“Isn’t that Li Xin from Number 3?”

“That’s him.”

“Tsk. He thought he was going to win, so he asked her to kneel and apologize. Now, there’s a good show to watch.”

The whispers were very unfriendly.

Li Xin felt that more and more people were paying attention to him. Their gazes were filled with ridicule as if they were watching a show. It was as if they had stripped him naked and thrown him here to perform.

His face grew paler and uglier.

Finally, he looked at the girl in the baseball cap saying something to Master Cheng and the others. Then, she turned around and walked in his direction.

Li Xin’s heart pounded, and his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton. When she was in front of him, he opened his mouth with a red face and squeezed out a word. “Congratulations.”

Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows.

She couldn’t tell what he was going to do.

However, Li Xin seemed to have found his backbone and turned shameless. “I was too impulsive previously and said something unpleasant. Don’t take it to heart… I’m a few years older than you. Consider me your elder brother. I was wrong this time. I’ll treat you to a meal another day. How about that?”

The surrounding people could tell what he was implying.

“Is he trying to weasel out of the bet?”

“Isn’t this Li Xin too shameless?”

“How could he have the cheek to say he’s her brother? Tsk!”

Many people couldn’t stand him. They didn’t hold back their ridicule as harsh words entered Li Xin’s ears one after another.

Li Xin was also embarrassed. His clenched fists were sweaty—sticky and uncomfortable.

Of course, he knew how shameless he was being, but he only wanted to deny this bet.

“Your surname is Qiao?”

He tried his best to change the topic. He stared at Qiao Nian’s nameplate as if he had just noticed her name.

“Qiao Nian? I’ll call you Nian Nian.”

“I heard your friend calling you Nian Nian too…”

Li Xin tried to squeeze out a smile, but it was too fake and stiff.

He didn’t want to talk by himself like a clown, but when he bombarded her with questions, the girl just watched his performance with a faint smile.

Finally exhausted, he did not know how to argue his case anymore.

Qiao Nian lifted her baseball cap, stuck one hand in her pocket, and raised her eyebrows. “Are you done?”

Li Xin was quite embarrassed. “Uh…”

“Do you mean you want to go back on your word now?” she asked directly.

This time, not only was Li Xin embarrassed, but his toes were also clenched tightly.

His face was red as he waved his hands excitedly. “How can this be called going back on my word? Everyone was just joking.”

He was addicted to biting back. “Yes, it was just a joke. Who knew you would take it seriously? Is there a need?”

Qiao Nian looked at him impatiently.

At this moment, having just finished talking to Master Cheng, Ye Wangchuan turned around and saw them. He walked behind the girl and patted her shoulder. Then, he raised his chin slightly and looked at Li Xin. “What are you talking about?”

Qiao Nian replied lazily, “He made a bet with me, but he doesn’t want to admit it after losing.”

Li Xin’s face turned even redder. He pretended to retort loudly, “I already said I was just joking!”
