Chapter 129: She Thought Lu Beiqin Was Going to Kiss Her
Page 1 of 3
Shen Chutang took out the test papers. “Clear your desks. The exam starts now.”
Lu Wendong was incapable of keeping anything to himself and hurriedly asked, “Boss, if we can’t beat Class F this time, does that mean you’ll resign?”
Shen Chutang nodded. “Yes.”
The entire class immediately let out a chorus of wails.
“Teacher, why did you agree to bet with Class F’s homeroom teacher?”
“Exactly! Why should you have to resign if you lose? That’s outrageous!”
Shen Chutang raised a hand, signaling for them to quiet down. “Who says I’m definitely going to resign? The fact that you’ll beat Class F is already a foregone conclusion. Or are you planning to play a joke on me during the midterm and hand in blank papers?”
Luo Shencheng could not help asking, “Boss, you really believe in us that much?”
Shen Chutang nodded. “Because you have what it takes to make me believe in you.”
It was only one short sentence, yet the entire Z Class instantly erupted with fighting spirit.
After the exam ended, they devoted themselves to studying, racing against every second. Whenever they encountered a question they did not understand, they asked someone else. If no one in the class knew the answer, they sent a representative to ask the teacher.
After class, they clung to their subject teachers, determined to understand every problem. As a result, the teachers could not leave the classroom until the bell for the next lesson rang.
Even when they went to the restroom, they made it a lightning-fast trip. Whenever they ran into students from Class F in the corridors, they held their heads high and puffed out their chests, radiating confidence.
Seeing how seriously they were studying while getting so little exercise, Shen Chutang prepared a special energy drink for them that afternoon to replenish their strength.
After evening classes, Shen Chutang came out rubbing her aching arm and spotted Lu Beiqin in the distance.
She hurried over. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Lu Beiqin opened the car door for her. “It’s fine.”
After getting into the car, Shen Chutang could not help massaging her arm again. Lu Beiqin noticed.
“What’s wrong?”

Shen Chutang shook her head. “Nothing. I made drinks for the students this afternoon, and I made so much that my arm is a little sore.”
The moment she finished speaking, Lu Beiqin suddenly leaned toward her. Shen Chutang stared blankly for a moment as his features drew nearer.
He was very close. She could see his lowered lashes and straight nose, and she instinctively pressed her lips together.
The pleasant scent of him reached her nose, and Shen Chutang felt as though her heart stopped for a second.
She was just about to ask what was wrong when she heard a click. He had fastened her seat belt for her.
It was only a simple gesture, yet Shen Chutang felt her cheeks grow faintly warm.
For one brief moment, she had thought Lu Beiqin was going to kiss her!
After securing her seat belt, Lu Beiqin drove toward a large supermarket, seemingly unaware of her unusual reaction.
Shen Chutang felt embarrassed by her own thoughts. How could a taciturn man like him possibly kiss her? She had clearly been overthinking things.
When they finally arrived at the shopping center, Shen Chutang pushed a cart over, but Lu Beiqin took it from her.
“I’ll do it. Just take whatever you want to eat.”
There was hardly anything left in the refrigerator. Shen Chutang bought ribs, chicken, duck, beef, lamb, and other meats, along with plenty of fresh vegetables, seafood, and fruit. Then she went to the snack aisle and bought a large pile of snacks, not forgetting to pick up a carton of yogurt at the end.
“Lu Beiqin, do you want to buy anything else?”
Lu Beiqin looked at the small mountain filling the cart and remained silent for a while.
“No.”
Shen Chutang felt a little embarrassed. “I was so focused on picking things for myself that I forgot about you. Go ahead and buy some of your favorite foods too.”
Lu Beiqin thought for a moment, then picked up two bags of potato chips. Earlier, he had watched Shen Chutang waver between cucumber and tomato flavors before finally choosing only the cucumber flavor. So he bought two bags of tomato flavor.
Sure enough, Shen Chutang’s delighted voice soon rang out.
“Lu Beiqin, I didn’t know we had such similar tastes. I like these too!”
Lu Beiqin nodded, a smile in his eyes. “Let’s go.”

They had bought quite a lot. The cashier handed them a receipt and said with a smile, “Purchases made at the shopping center today qualify for our lucky draw. You can go over there and try your luck.”
Shen Chutang nodded. They left their purchases in the cart and went together to the drawing area.
There was a spinning wheel divided into several sections labeled First Prize, Second Prize, Third Prize, Grand Secret Prize, and Consolation Prize. Finding it amusing, Shen Chutang handed over the receipt.
“What prizes are available in today’s lucky draw?”
The employee immediately replied, “Frying pans, ovens, refrigerators, and plenty more. Everyone wins something!”
Shen Chutang rubbed her hands together eagerly and asked Lu Beiqin in a low voice, “Are you lucky?”
The man lowered his eyes to look at her. Her gaze seemed to hold a sky full of stars, and he lost himself in it for a moment.
“You do it.”
Shen Chutang nodded and spun the wheel with all her strength. Before long, it came to a stop on the Grand Secret Prize.
The employee exclaimed excitedly, “It’s the Grand Secret Prize! It’s absolutely perfect for the two of you!”
Shen Chutang had not expected to be so lucky that day, let alone win the grand secret prize.
In the end, Lu Beiqin carried four large bags of groceries to the car by himself, while Shen Chutang merely held the box containing their secret prize.
Once they were inside the car, Shen Chutang could not resist her curiosity. She opened the box, and the next second, her face flushed bright red.
Ultra-thin, barely noticeable—
Holy crap!
Seeing her burning-red ears, Lu Beiqin asked, “What’s wrong?”
