Reborn: The Lion To Hunt The Wolf - Chapter 254
The next day, instead of announcing the results through the mail or on the online school board, WAX Chairman Xiao Ran requested every student in their final year to be present at the school.
As soon as Yue Wan entered the school, she was directed to enter the auditorium where every single student and teacher were present. Just as she stepped in, a little piglet hugged Yue Wan in a teary and snorty face. “Little Wan, save me!!”
Yue Wan moved to her ȧssigned seat in the first row where the C-1 class students were ȧssigned to be seated. Not concerned that the Koala was trailing along, she sat and said, “I will say it again, I can’t save you from your mothers’ wrath, Little Ai.”
“ItsnotthatItthatbakasmartypanturgingandmymamasaidsomethingweirdiIlostmycomposerand..and…and,” Again Chen Ai’s incoherent words created confusion when Yue Wan tried to understand her.
“Now! Now! Eat this first,” Yue Wan patted her back while feeding her sweet cheese roll to cool her down, “Tell me clearly in a human language.”
Chen Ai ate them and explained the things that happened last night. When Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen knew about the final results coming out, they pushed her to enrol in the medical program at the Chen Medical/Research University. However, she rejected them plainly, so they gave her a different option to choose, and that was to marry the person of their choosing in their field. Out of pure frustration she said, “Okay… I’m willing to marry a log for my freedom.”
Yue Wan chuckled, “Don’t worry, Mr. Smarty pants won’t miss this opportunity. He is willing to be a log.”
Chen Ai blinked and tilted her head in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“Forget it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. The person who needs to understand has already heard everything.” Yue Wan laughed in a mixture of helplessness and adoration at Chen Ai as her gaze turned to Tai Sun who was entering her vision.
Perplexed, Chen Ai went back to her seat after taking the snack pack from Yue Wan.
At that moment, the class A instructor, Teacher An came in.
Seeing Teacher An enter, everyone started to ask one by one and some moved near him.
“Teacher An, why haven’t our results come out yet?”
“Why did you call us today? When will we know our results?”
“As per our school rules, they would always send our results via mail or display in the school form. Why different this time?”
“Silence!” Teacher An stood in front and addressed everyone with a cold stern face, “Did you guys forgot the rules just because of you all going to graduate? Back to your seats.”
Everyone quickly became quiet and ran back to their position.
Clearing his throat, Teacher An walked up to the stage that the WAX auditorium only used for academic conferences or large public lectures. He would soon reveal what the reason was for today’s actions.
Right then a group of security guards came in, followed by the WAX chairman Princess Xiao.
Xiao Ran, in professional attire, removed her glasses and looked behind her.
Behind her appeared a man. His arrival was elegant, cloaked with all the grace of the world. No amount of words could describe his beauty—it was so incredibly captivating and eye-catching.
The students looked up at him dazedly, not knowing what to say. When they recovered from their trance, they started whispering and grumbling around..
Seeing the resemblance between Xiao Ran and that man, some muttered that it might be the hidden Heir of Xiao.
That’s it! Chaos and uproar erupted in the auditorium. Suddenly, the whole class blew up and started gossiping.
The girls’ hearts skipped a little seeing the handsome man. “Is there a living being more beautiful than him?”
“I understand how you feel. Today is truly a feast for my eyes. He is so stunning that my eyes are starting to blur.”
“DAMN! Is this man-made in heaven.”
Their hearts raced rapidly and felt they were heating up.
The boys gulped a mouthful of envy, ‘God is not fair!’
Hearing the girls’ praises, Tai Su gazed shifted to his woman with a nervous expression on his face.
Right then Chen Ai commented, “Stingy Little Wan didn’t bring me enough snacks!! What use is his face?? It’s not as tasty as my puffs! Hump!”
She was in the middle of a big temper tantrum over the lack of food.
Tai Sun fell down and was so close to kissing the floor upon hearing that, ‘You can lead a horse to water…’ He looked at Chen Ai and signed, ‘But you can’t make him drink.’
As for Yue Wan, she gave Xiao Hua a sidelong stare. ‘Is this the business meeting you were talking about, you pervert?’
Xiao Hua’s magnificent eyes shone in warmth and tenderness as he felt Yue Wan’s stare. Under her scrutinized gaze he ran his tongue casually over his lip. ‘Don’t stare at me too much, darling.”
Seeing his gesture, the sounds of girls’ excitement could be heard loud and clear. “Oh my God, he is looking at us!! Do I look okay? Do I look fine? I forgot to put on my lipstick!!”
“I must’ve saved the world in my previous life to see those kissable lips! DAMN!!”
Yue Wan’s heart stirred in panic as his actions were meant for her. She lowered her head and her eyes rimmed slightly in red, revealing the most radiant smile.
Xiao Hua knew that she was feeling shy at that moment, so he didn’t tease her more and turned back to an untouchable cold stone.
Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Hua, who had his gaze at Yue Wan. She tugged at his arm and said, “Brother, stop stealing my spotlight.”
“My bad, I have this disease called Handsome.” Xiao Hua curled the corners of his lips.
Clenching her teeth tightly, she didn’t dare to say anything else.
After their grand entrance, the Xiao siblings sat down in their respective seats on the stage.
Some girls humphed coldly as they were forbidden to bring the phone today, if not they would capture this beautifully engraved man as a memento.
“Quiet down everyone,” Teacher An said, raising his voice and tapping on the mic to get everyone’s attention.
That did the trick and the hall went silent the next moment.
“WAX has always been fair and follows the rules, and there is no such thing as to get in through the back door.”
The students all nodded, about this point. It’s a taboo in WAX for the term cheating.
“As per the WAX rules, the students who are chosen based on the student’s grades from both their academic and traditional awards will have the right to enter the Xiao Group. I know that everyone tried their best for this opportunity and want to get it.”
“During the holidays, our WAX Chairman made a rule that, from this year onwards, each year-end grades will be given out in front of everyone.”
Students gasped in surprise. Some were happy about the news, but some students didn’t want others to know their results, so they were displeased with the new rule.
Teacher An eased them with the next words: “Don’t worry students, not all will be revealed. We will only show the top ranks. As for the rest of the students, you can receive your mark from your respective class teachers.”
WhileTeacher An was informing them, Advisor Yu distributed the result slips to the respected Classes Homeroom Teachers. As Teacher An was on stage, his student’s results slip was kept by Advisor Yu.
They were sealed tightly in individual envelopes with only their name roll number on the top. This was done in consideration of the students.
Teacher An’s clear voice ranged: “Now our respected Chairman will announce the top scorer of the exam and the person who won this year’s coveted award.”
Xiao Ran moved to the center and spoke: “The winner of the WAX award with the highest score by beating the past record is … Class-1 student, Yue Wan.”
Xiao Ran claimed that the award would be given by the Xiao Crop president.
Yue Wan constantly eased her mind, ȧssuring her that nothing would happen and walked to the stage.
Under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Hua reached out his hand calmly and elegantly, “Congratulations, Miss.Yue.”
Yue Wan looked at the cold-looking man in front of her. She was mesmerized for a while, then she gently placed her hands on the man’s wide palm.
Time trickled past slowly for them.
