Kapitel 270: How could there still be that bet?

"Congratulations to our classmate Sam, who achieved the highest score in our class and the second highest in the grade on this exam!"

"Eh? Is that really Sam?"

"He's not only handsome, but now his grades are suddenly this good too? How are we supposed to live!"

"Hmm? If he's second in the grade, who's first?"

"Do we even need to ask? Who else could it be but that person?"

Amid the scattered applause, there were whispers and murmurs.

Sitting by the window, Sam didn't seem to care much. His face bore a shy smile, but his eyes were calm and indifferent, showing no sign of pride. 

Rather than the envy in others' eyes or the jealous remarks, he preferred to look at the scenery outside the window. There wasn't much of a view, just a bird that happened to fly across the blue sky, not stopping on any branch.
