บท 828: Asking Su Li to Quit School

Upon seeing the support from his many friends, Su Li's eyes welled up with tears. 

Jiang Ping, being a senior in the fourth grade, found such public display of emotion rather embarrassing. He quickly tried to comfort Su Li, saying, "I know what we've put up is not even half of what they've wagered. But can't I just buy more? Please, don't cry."

Gao Ming, too, thought that Su Li was upset because their wager was too small. He assumed that Su Li was crying because he felt humiliated. He quickly pulled Su Li towards the snack shop, saying, "I've spent all my pocket money for this month. As your friend, I have to back you up. Come on, we'll be late for class."

Su Li, however, quickly waved his hands and said, "What I mean is, you guys have moved me so much. I won't let you down."

With that, Su Li turned around and walked away with an air of profound dignity. 

The three of them watched his retreating figure, momentarily stunned.
