Chapter 265: Shattered Dreams
Sheng Yang smiled slightly. It seemed that the students here were in the habit of addressing powerful figures as “Dad”.
If Fang Duo really scored 130 points on the test, wouldn’t Ou Ye have two fathers, then?
Ms. Chen stood on the podium, propping her face up with her hands. She had a smile on her face. “Students, I can see that you’ve all been listening to me. This time, some students have improved greatly.”
Fang Duo cupped her hands and looked up expectantly like a little hamster.
“First of all, Zhu Lin scored 120 points!” Ms. Chen pointed to the female student behind Fang Duo.
Ou Ye looked back at Fang Duo, whose eyes were shining. Her score hadn’t been announced yet, so she was fantasizing.
But she couldn’t get more than 120 points.
Ms. Chen then named a few students who had regressed. Ou Ye gradually thought something was off. These students’ tests weren’t among the test papers he had just handed out…
He looked back at Fang Duo with a deep gaze once more. Had Fang Duo regressed?
Wouldn’t she feel even worse?
Ou Ye secretly took out his phone and sent her a text message. “I’ll treat you to Haagen-Dazs tonight. My treat.”
“Okay.” Fang Duo agreed without hesitation.
“Now, there’s a student who I think deserves a special mention.”
Hearing Ms. Chen’s words, Ou Ye’s heart almost jumped out of his throat. “Fang Duo—”
Ms. Chen’s serious face suddenly changed as she said, “You’ve improved so much and got 129 points!”
Fang Duo’s smile froze on her face, and Sheng Yang couldn’t help but laugh. However, it wouldn’t be very polite of her. Hence, she turned around and looked out the window, only to see the reflection of the smile on her face.
“Fang Duo, what are you waiting for? Come and get your test.”
Ms. Chen thought it was unbelievable. Fang Duo had improved by tens of points. Was she scared silly? Was that why she seemed so shocked by her own results?
“Alright… Alright…” Only then did Fang Duo come back to her senses and reluctantly walk to the podium.
Ms. Chen: “???”
The moment she picked up the test papers, Ms. Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you sad?”
Fang Duo sighed deeply. “I didn’t do well.”
Ms. Chen: “…”
After sitting next to a formidable big shot for so long, she had started talking like one herself.
All the students thought she was humble bragging.
Ou Ye sat there, dumbstruck. He couldn’t believe that Fang Duo actually got 129 points on the test. In fact, it was only one point away from the 130 point benchmark he previously mentioned. Would she really exceed his expectations of her?
Then… what about the sports card and the Haagen-Dazs?
But in Fang Duo’s heart, since she was one point shy, that meant her dream of being called “Dad”… was shattered.
**
That night, Ou Ye fulfilled his promise and treated Fang Duo to Haagen-Dazs.
But Sheng Yang refused. “I’ll pass.”
She looked down at her phone. “I have something to attend to.”
They couldn’t guess what she was thinking, so they didn’t ask her to stay.
Sheng Yang rushed home because of another matter.
The diamond hair tie she gave Yi Juncheng last time was returned by him, but the two of them had helped each other several times, so this debt of gratitude had formed a bond between them.
Sheng Yang had witnessed Ou Ye giving Fang Duo his most cherished sports card and decided to follow in his footsteps. She would give Yi Juncheng a gift to express her appreciation.
