Wang Zhifeng knew that Wei Zhao had been introduced by Gu Pengzhan, so he wanted to use this as an opportunity to extend a courtesy to Wei Zhao. After all, in the senior year the elite classes were not limited to Class Five; there was also the paired Class Six, and transferring Wei Zhao to Class Six would also prevent any further clashes with Zhong Yongliang.
Hearing Wang Zhifeng's words, Wei Zhao could not help but laugh to himself. So it was that Wang Zhifeng was afraid Zhong Yongliang and his lot might make trouble for him again. But Wei Zhao's true purpose was to stay by Gu Mengyao's side — if Gu Mengyao did not change classes, how could he casually switch?
Besides, Wei Zhao had never taken clowns like Zhong Yongliang seriously. He trusted they would not dare prance about in front of him again.
"Thank you, Director Wang, but I'm doing quite well in this class. I've only just gotten used to the environment, and I'd rather not switch again." Wei Zhao politely declined Wang Zhifeng's kindness.
"Is that so? Well, all right then. In the future, if anything happens, don't be too impulsive — report it to the school right away, and the school will handle it properly." Seeing Wei Zhao insist, Wang Zhifeng said nothing more.
After this episode, he supposed, Zhong Yongliang and the others would behave themselves for a while.
During evening self-study, the English test results came out. As befitted an elite class at an elite high school, even though Kang Xiaofeng had said the questions were somewhat difficult, with a full score of one hundred and fifty, several students had actually scored above one hundred and thirty. Kang Xiaofeng had gotten one hundred and eleven; Wei Zhao, one hundred and nine.
Wei Zhao, of course, had done it on purpose, keeping his score in the lower-middle range of the class so as not to draw too much attention.
What made Wei Zhao's jaw drop, however, was that among those scoring above one hundred and thirty, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had each claimed a spot.
So these two rich girls were not empty-headed after all, Wei Zhao thought to himself.
"Boss, not bad — good grades on your very first test." Seeing that Wei Zhao was only two points behind him, Kang Xiaofeng was secretly astonished.
"Some of it was luck, I suppose." Wei Zhao thought to himself that if he had known the test would be this hard, he would have deliberately missed a few more.
"Want to grab a bite tonight? My treat?" Kang Xiaofeng had brought this up with Wei Zhao at noon, but Wei Zhao had not agreed at the time, saying they would talk it over in the evening.
"How about the weekend? My home's rather far from school, and if I go back too late there won't be any buses." Wei Zhao spoke to Kang Xiaofeng with a note of apology.
"I see. Makes sense — there are only so many buses near the school. We'll talk about it this weekend, then." Kang Xiaofeng had clearly misunderstood Wei Zhao's meaning.
Wei Zhao thought Kang Xiaofeng was a decent person and did not want to deceive him, but since Kang Xiaofeng had misunderstood on his own, Wei Zhao would not spell it out. His real reason was indeed that Gu Mengyao's villa was rather far from school, and Uncle Qing's car could not possibly wait for him indefinitely — once it got late, there would be no ride...
After school, Wei Zhao again left the school gate together with Kang Xiaofeng. Out of the corner of his eye he watched Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu get into Uncle Qing's Bentley, and only then did he say to Kang Xiaofeng, "I'm off. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow..." Kang Xiaofeng had been in a state of high excitement all day. He had wanted to have a meal and a couple of drinks with Wei Zhao that evening and feel like a man for once, but since Wei Zhao had no time, he had no choice but to let it go.
