NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20 - You Are Joking but I Am Serious
Jiang Hao accepted the paper from Zhou Hong and returned to his seat, briefly glancing at Liu Xuan in the front row. Liu Xuan, however, couldn't muster the courage to meet his gaze.
With a faint smile, Jiang Hao settled back into his seat as Zhou Hong began to expound upon the paper.
This class seemed to fly by for Liu Xuan.
He wasn't absorbing anything. His thoughts were consumed by the wager he had made with Jiang Hao.
The class concluded as the bell rang.
As the class ended, the tolling bell roused Liu Xuan from his thoughts.
Once their English teacher, Zhou Hong, exited the room, a voice unexpectedly pierced the air.
“Liu Xuan, it's time for you to honor the bet!”
The source of the voice led everyone's attention to Jiang Hao.
All eyes then turned to focus on Liu Xuan.
In an instant, Liu Xuan, who had been about to bolt, found himself suddenly immobilized.
At that moment, the classroom was profoundly silent.
With a grin, Jiang Hao remained seated, his gaze fixed on the astonished Liu Xuan.
“Our class monitor wouldn't resort to cheating, right?”
Liu Xuan's face flushed with anger as he found himself under the scrutiny of his peers.
At this juncture, Liu Xuan pivoted toward the back of the classroom, his voice laced with embarrassment as he addressed Jiang Hao.
“Jiang Hao, I was just teasing you!”
A meaningful smile played on Jiang Hao's lips as he observed Liu Xuan's audacity. Rising from his seat, he advanced purposefully toward Liu Xuan.
The attention of everyone shifted to Jiang Hao, the room brimming with curiosity about his intentions.
Jiang Hao arrived by Liu Xuan's side, offering a smile that held a certain intrigue.
Similarly, Liu Xuan regarded Jiang Hao, his own smile tinged with awkwardness, eyes pleading for Jiang Hao to let things go.
The two of them shared a significant moment of eye contact.
“Bang!”
“Crack~~!”
Suddenly, a resounding noise pierced the air, inducing an immediate wave of fear among everyone present.
Liu Xuan's fright was so intense that he stumbled, nearly losing his balance.
His eyes were wide with horror as he gazed at his own table.

The other students nearby also shifted their attention towards Liu Xuan's desk.
“Hiss~!”
In the face of the considerable hole in the table, an audible gasp escaped from everyone's lips!
The extent of this damage was truly astonishing!
All eyes turned towards Jiang Hao, their expressions a mixture of astonishment.
Jiang Hao, now looking at his fist, calmly extracted his hand from the sizable hole he had created, murmuring to himself.
“Oh my! This table isn't durable at all!”
Liu Xuan was paralyzed with fear. Had that punch struck his body, he could have sustained a severe injury.
At that point, Jiang Hao returned his gaze to Liu Xuan, inquiring with a smile.
“Class monitor, what were you just saying?”
This immediately jolted the stunned Liu Xuan back to reality.
Liu Xuan quickly lowered his expression, scrambling to put on a flattering smile.
“Nothing, nothing.”
“I mean, I'm up for the challenge, I'm ready to concede, I'm up for the challenge, I'm ready to concede!”
Liu Xuan was thoroughly spooked and quickly clarified.
“Well, that's settled! Now, follow through with your promise; class will be starting soon!”
At that instant, Liu Xuan couldn't bring himself to decline. He swiftly rose from his seat and lowered himself to the floor.
The moment he assumed the position, Liu Xuan's eyes were brimming with unending resentment.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
Having mastered the art of barking, Liu Xuan lifted his head and met Jiang Hao's gaze.
“Monitor, I didn't expect you to be such a natural at acting!”
Jiang Hao grinned, his attention focused on Liu Xuan lying on the ground, teasingly.
Having said that, he turned around and headed back to his seat.
Meanwhile, Liu Xuan's face was flushed a deep shade of red.
The instant Jiang Hao departed, Liu Xuan hastily regained his footing and returned to his seat. He dared not meet the eyes of his peers!
Nonetheless, inside, he was boiling with indignation!
“Jiang Hao, just you wait! I will definitely avenge today's humiliation!”
